Ever seen that stupid "Coexist" bumper stickers with all the quasi-religious and philosophical symbols replacing the letters? How about this one instead?

6 I'm going to try and hand draw these images, white on black like the original. Then maybe I'll put it up in my Cafepress store.

7 Cool. I haven't seen the original --- mercifully --- but I've seen my share of Save The Planet crap . . . SSDD.

8 I've never seen one of those coexist stickers...but then, I live down in the Redneck riviera and the only thing we worry about coexisting with are the gators and the skeeters!

9 I have a "coexist" neighbor down the street and it has diminished my faith in them because it's one of the most stupidly facile and retarded bumperstickers ever. They ought to include a swastika next to the hammer-and-sickle -- because everyone knows those two "religions" co-existed so well, at least in 1939 for a while, when it was convenient... Stupid hippies.

I was nearly weeping reading this. I hope you'll enjoy!

You know, a lot of times I write up random posts and then don't post them. But Best Beloved just called me, and I could not really explain why I was inarticulate about sweet potatoes, so I said I'd go ahead and post this. That way, she can read it at work and know just what kind of day it has been. (Short version, for those who do not feel like reading the whole post: ARRRRRRG. Fucking sweet potatoes.)The longer version, summarized in conversation form:

Dog: I am starving.
Me:Actually, no. You aren't starving. You get two very good meals a day. And treats. And Best Beloved fed you extra food while I was gone.
Dog: STARVING.
Me: I saw you get fed not four hours ago! You are not starving.
Dog: Pity me, a sad and tragic creature, for I can barely walk, I am so starving. WOE.
Me: I am now ignoring you.
Dog: STARVING.
Dog: Did you hear me? I am starving.
Dog: Are you seriously ignoring me? Fine.
[There is a pause, during which the dog exits the room in a pointed manner.]
[From the kitchen, there comes a noise like someone is eating a baseball bat.]

This is about the funniest thing ever on the intertubes. Originally sent to me via email, I had to go find the original blogger and give him some love.

"Last weekend I put an exhaust fan in the ceiling for my wife's grandfather. After a bunch of hours spent in The Hottest Attic In The Universe, he had a ceiling fan that ducted to the side of his house.

While my brother-in-law and I were fitting the fan in between the joists, we found something under the insulation. What we found was this:



A JC Penney catalog from 1977. It's not often blog fodder just falls in my lap, but holy hell this was two solid inches of it, right there for the taking.
