Think NPR crossed with NATURAL BORN KILLERS, a spoonful of STRANGERS WITH CANDY, a little MST3K, a healthy dose of THE WIRE, and just a dash of THE FACTS OF LIFE for good measure. The boarding school version though, not that lame ass business venture fronted by Mrs. Garrett. That sucked.
Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
Grab your ticket and your suitcase
Thunder’s rollin’ down this track
Well, you don’t know where you’re goin’ now
But you know you won’t be back
Well, darlin’ if you’re weary
Lay your head upon my chest
We’ll take what we can carry
Yeah, and we’ll leave the rest
This train
Carries saints and sinners
This train
Carries losers and winners
This Train
Carries whores and gamblers
This Train
Carries lost souls
This Train
Dreams will not be thwarted
This Train
Faith will be rewarded
This Train
Hear the steel wheels singin’
This Train
Bells of freedom ringin’
This Train
Carries broken-hearted
This Train
Thieves and sweet souls departed
This Train
Carries fools and kings
This Train
All aboard
Hunter S. Thompson and Bill Murray.

I think I need both of these shirts.
Oh, Kim. That baby isn’t ruining your life; these things are ruining your life:
- Being expelled from Kris Jenner’s birth canal.
- Ryan Seacrest’s media empire.
- The maitre d’ at Mastro’s.
- Human Chorionic Gonadotropin
- Your performance in that Tyler Perry movie.
- Every decision you’ve made for the last 10 years.
- Amanda Bynes having a very public meltdown that is distracting US Weekly from their round-the-clock coverage of your gestational period.
- Allowing Kanye to select your pregnancy wardrobe.
- This picture of you endorsing a product used to clean buttholes:
Just wait until you are changing dirty diapers and dealing with tantrums, baby.
I love the fact that many of you are really thick with no sense of humour. It amuses me. Thank you.

I like the colors of the shoes and shirt. I don’t know why but the jump out versus the stairs to me.
Not sure how much gas I have left… How much longer I can do this. Need to get my shit together. Quit letting things outside my control matter.
I have no idea what I’m doing anymore. I’m just making this shit up as I go along. I’m weary. Sleep is not helping. It doesn’t matter how much rest I get. Every day feels the same.
I don’t mean to sound sexist, but as far as women have come over the last 40 years, you don’t really see a lot of women hunters. They’re still in the minority in the military, and there’s not a lot of female construction workers. I hope that’s not taken the wrong way. I think women are as smart, resourceful, and capable in most things as any man could be … but they are generally physically weaker. That’s science.
Robert Kirkman, creator of The Walking Dead comic series, in response to the question “Why are all the strong female characters either crazy or dead”
And now that you have this information, carry on however you wish to.

sexism often goes unnoticed by the ones who have never been touched by it
(via elvira)
Fucking moron. My cousin weighs 100 pounds & she’s a bad ass super strong construction worker. And if your argument is that in reality women are physically weaker, maybe in your horror fantasy world you can overcome that belief because something else that doesn’t exist in reality are FUCKING ZOMBIES. God! IDIOT!
(via bohemea)I wasn’t aware that feminism equaled replicating the things a man can do. I always considered it about the opportunity to fairly and without bias pursue anything that is out there. In other words, regardless of the anecdotal or empirical evidence, what the fuck does the lack of women hunters have to do with anything? Why is Kirkman transitioning from the biological fact that men generally have more upper body strength to a conclusion? Maybe it’s just that a lot of women don’t have an interest in doing the same dumb shit men do.
And speaking of anecdotal- my father in law works for the American Legion on their youth programs. One of those is their Junior Shooters program. The national tournament is held at the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs Colorado every August. You’d be surprised how many entrants and winners are young women. Maybe Kirkman should look at that before he writes his next character…
Making Mosca’s Chicken a la Grande. Or at least attempting to.
Well? How did it turn out? It looks frickin’ fantastic.
Some of the dumbest people you will ever meet you meet on Twitter
Guy is responding to one of Ricky Gervais’s tweets on proving factually god exists.
He replies science is just like religion - it’s another philosophy that you can’t prove.
Head. Fucking. Desk.
I suppose if you want to believe in a little man in the sky, fine. And if you want to argue with a comedian who is obviously trolling you, fine as well. But this statement has to be one of the dumbest things I have ever read. It so fundamentally demonstrates a complete lack of comprehension on science and measurements while at the same time pea cocking an absurd level of stupidity, I want to rip something apart.
Jumping Jesus on a pogo stick. The human race is DOOMED.
The guy’s Twitter bio says he is a lawyer, which is equal parts frightening and explanatory, frankly.
: statehate: One of the biggest problems with government involvement in...
One of the biggest problems with government involvement in moral issues like gay marriage is that it creates unnecessary strife between people. It seems that governments thrive on animosity between groups of people.
It’s sad to see people on both sides of the gay marriage debate…
Bunch of shit. While the idea that it would be better if the government was more removed from some social decisions is fine (and a standard Libertarian fall back position), however the second portion that we ought to treat morally repugnant “opinions” and “choices” as valid inside the realm of acceptability and kindly debate them is idiotic in the extreme.
Gay marriage is not just a legal issue. Just as saying a black males only counts as my property isn’t just a legal issue. Just as saying that any and all methods to prevent an abortion is not just a legal issue. It might be nice if they were only legal issues, but they run deeper, and in order to advance the human race antiquated tribal and religious notions (as well as some spurious pseudo scientific political issues) need to be fought head on. “He really IS a good guy- he just believes that as long as a woman hasn’t verbally said no, it’s OK to rape her. I nicely tell him he may not be right, but darn it, I have yet to convince him!”
Not doing so runs the risk of encouraging those with these attitudes to continue to press for government involvement, in my mind. Because if all you are going to mount is a kindly and generous debate against horrific ideas, taking power from you is easy, and then you “win”.
Sums it up for me…
“Scott Lemieux at the American Prospect and Irin Carmon at Salon have dealt in more depth with this claim, so I’ll just add this: It’s been 44 years since the riots of Stonewall pushed the gay rights agenda into the public consciousness in a big way. Since then, Mick Jagger went from dangerous sex symbol to the guy dancing in a Maroon 5 video, hip-hop was invented, and the fashionable jean silhouette has changed roughly 187 times. We’ve given the homophobes plenty of time to think this over. It’s time to move on without them.”
