News, but not the serious kind
Jeez officer, just THROW your gun at the target!
Welcome back to another installment of our regular feature, “Stuff Maybe we Should have Explained in the Caption, but Didn’t.” We are told these officers are holding targets during a demonstration to demand “more resources to combat violence…”
Resources? What kind of resources?
Better training? It looks like not a single one of them seems to be able to hit a target. I say fire ‘em all and hire cops who can hit something!
What year is this again?
Welcome back to another installment of our occasional feature, What Year is this Again?
Quick quiz: The Dutch Parliament banned human sex with animals in…
a) 1622
b) 1623
Looky all the airplanes lined in a row… dumm dee dumm da doooooo…..
Go on, stab me! I double-dare you!
Ever wonder what a conversation between total dumbasses sounds like? Let’s listen in….
“Hey Earl! I know we’re planning on going to the World Cup in June, but I heard they have 50 murders a day down there in South Africa….”
“Wow Lamar, that’s a lot! So you’re saying maybe we should stay home?”
“Of course not! I’m saying we should each spend $69.95 for vests to protect us from getting stabbed! There’s a company advertising anti-stab vests for soccer fans, and you can even get ‘em with team colors.”
I love what you’ve done to your hair
Okay fashion show staff, we’re still looking for ways to save money on these shows, and we think we’ve found a good way to curb the soaring cost of hair stylists.
There is a group of folks who will work cheap, they are eager to learn and they have lots of time on their hands.
Of course I’m talking about the criminally insane. Now that they’re being allowed to design fashions, why shouldn’t they work on hair, too?
Hairy shoes, with lots of curves … so hard to be a designer! Oops, sorry, wrong nightmare.
Gramps was a big fat poopy-head!
Well I’ll be damned, that’s what he’s doing. It seems it’s the second libel action Dzhugashvili has taken against the media for unkind remarks about the late dictator, blamed for killing millions in gulags, mass executions, famines, etc. Yikes. If this guy succeeds, what next? A class action on behalf of the descendants of Vlad the Impaler, Adolf Hitler, Benito Mussolini, Pol Pot and Idi Amin, against anybody who ever bad-mouthed those guys? I’m sorry, Mrs. Impaler… I must advise you and the little Impalers that it could take some time to restore Great-Grandpa Vlad’s good name, but we’ll get there….

The look on the face of the guy carrying the picture of Lenin is priceless.
The aslphalt jungle: driveways in the news!
Hey Blog Guy, speaking of news photography, when a big story breaks, you know what I’m a real sucker for?
I have a pretty good idea. After all, we’re all human, aren’t we? I’m guessing you can’t resist a good driveway shot.
Yes! Exactly! Like, when the actress Brittany Murphy died, my first thought was, “I wonder what the frick her driveway looks like!”
Hey come on!! Johnny Quest was sooooooooooo cool! Been trying to train my dog to do things like Bandit… but he keeps giving me looks…which speak volumes which I cannot type here…
But one of those guys IS the pope, right?
Blog Guy, I was stunned by the attack on Pope Benedict by a woman at the start of his Christmas Eve mass. Can you explain exactly what happened?
Yes. Through detailed scientific computer analysis of individual video frame grabs, you can see every detail. One of the clergy turned into a hideous, hollow-eyed goat’s head, then there was a flash of red, and then two men in chef’s hats ran in.
I think you’re just making up that crap, Blog Guy. Your analysis is totally worthless. How are we ever going to know what happened?
Hey, saa2009 – He does poke fun at various ethnicities and religions, frequently.
I really hope Santa brought you a sense of humour for Christmas.
A very special holiday time at the blog
Blog Guy, do you have anything special coming up in your blog for the holidays?
Do I!
Do you?
Yes, that’s what I meant by “Do I! “
Well, while I am browsing the net the King to Be, is out for the night catting around!!! Good going William, or should I say Sire;) You have a Great Brother at your back, keep the good Sandy there. Ta

Hey look! It’s Super Wastebasket Man!
Fashion Show security staff. Come in, please. Give me a situation report on the nude intruder we found backstage.
Yes sir, we apprehended him. He claimed he was a male model in the show, but he was buck-naked and deranged.
Good work. Are you positive he’s been neutralized.
You know what, Bob… I can actually feel this guy growing on me… I mean, I still like Mr. Fab Abs and wouldnt mind at all, if you have more pics of him… but there is something about Mr. Waste Basket that just draws me to him…. (sigggggggggggh)
Heartwarming holiday story restores my faith in man…
Blog Guy, I recall from earlier years that you suffer from a serious problem at Christmas?
Yes, I have too much holiday spirit. It makes me giddy, and I’m no good until something brings me back down to earth, like a very special seasonal story. You know the recent attack on Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, where a guy threw a souvenir statuette that broke two of his teeth and gashed his lip.
Don’t tell me THAT is the special story?












Ah, Doc, there are so many very cool guys on there to have to pick just one to emulate!
I think the delusional ranger is my fave character, over all. When he said something about getting some small metal shavings and placing them in boiling water until they screamed is maybe the best of the best moments for him!
However, I do like Montrose, the Explosive Expert, for my everyday admiration. Not that there aren’t so many other people on the show that bring up memories…
But I started out at about age 8 or 9, blowing up some T poles that my mother thought were her clothes line poles, for some reason.
Ah, give me some CO2 cartridges, some sort of explosive, a radio battery and some pen springs, and I will come on over and shorten inwardly some T poles for you!
Or maybe some ’strike anywhere’ match heads, some aluminum foil, and a loaded BB gun. About enough match heads to match the size of your head would do nicely!
Oh! Yeah! The wifey IS going out shopping, yes? For some reason, wives don’t seem to understand the explody goodness of me!
And did you just get your hair done, Mrs Docky?
