Christianity is about love.’ The debate resulted in a lot of threats and hate mail to people who agreed and disagreed with me.

Russian Pigeon Karate

The next time you're thinking of joining a martial arts class, think of Russian pigeon fighting.  Yep, an art that's been lost through the ages.

Managing to capture the pigeons in the first place is an art in itself, but that's a whole 'nother lesson. lol.

To Shave or Not To Shave? That Is The 9/11 Question...

When the World Trade towers came down on 9/11, a middle-school teacher from East Wenatchee, Washington made a promise he wouldn't break...
Gary Weddle, a devoted science teacher, vowed that he wouldn't shave until Osama bin Laden was captured or killed, and it's a sure bet he didn't think it would take 9 years to do it.

Four months ago, when a friend of Weddle's called and told him that Osama bin Laden had been killed, he cried for a full five minutes.  He took a razor to his face and shaved off the beard he'd been wanting to get rid of for 9 years. 
"He cut the beard and was shaving the stubble even before President Obama addressed the nation about bin Laden’s demise" - The Daily Astorian.

The Puzzles of Our Lives

Are People Really This Stupid?

Geezus, here's another video you probably shouldn't be listening to at work, unless you have some headphones on.  This is some crazy ass shit here, and then you ask yourself why half our country is fucked up; I'm sure you know which half that is. 
A Park Ranger from Reno goes "postal" a couple of kids snowboarding in some park; Not just any park, this particular Ranger's park, and he is not happy.  Throughout the entire conversation he releases a stream of expletives that would put a stand-up comedian to shame.

Towards the end of the video, he tells the boys that "the way to break a man is by doing it sexually, by making him your bitch for life."  Seriously?  Are people really this stupid?

Dearest Crackhead

You can't get any clearer than this, that's for sure.  Can I do the same to the bastards who smashed in my windows not once, but twice?  It was a long time ago, but still...
If they want to take anything, let them.  Just DON'T BREAK MY WINDOWS!  One time I left my doors unlocked so if thieves wanted to get in, they could enter without breaking them. The idiots still brok'em. 

NSFW: Bonjour Gurl!

The following video went viral this week, but in case you haven't seen it, here it is.  It's absolutely hilarious.  It is Belle from Beauty and the Beast in her original voice casting.  And she couldn't sound any gayer if she tried.

GURL... Just so you know it is Not Safe For Work!  Unless you have headphones :-)


"Its got crack pipes and sewing, its like pretty in pink but if the dress looked good."

"I can hear you, bitches. Nice try whore."

"Wtf bitch I will turn you into a fur coat. Now I just got to find out how to knit"

What a Hot Mess: Magic Trick Gone Wrong

So the argument is...  some say it's fake and some say it's not.  Regardless, it looks pretty darn bad either way.  What a hot mess!

In the following video, two German boys, Sven and Michel are about to do a very popular trick that is performed by most magicians.  When they finally accomplish it, Sven accidentally jumps back, pushing Michel into an entertainment center behind them.  You can clearly see it fall on top of Michel as Sven runs away.

The question is... is it real?  Is he alive? My thing is, regardless if it's real or not, it still has to hurt.  People actually die from furniture falling on them.  The argument rages on, in the YouTube video's comment section.

Home Improvement Reunion

So a few days ago the cast of Home Improvement got together for some photos for their upcoming reunion special, and I'd have to say that some of them have improved through the years.  Others not so much...
I sure miss this show, it was so much fun to watch.
Jonathan Taylor Thomas just keeps getting better looking with age.  He still looks beautiful; His 30th birthday was two days ago.

OMG Hilarious! - Republican Presidential Debate Factoids

OMG, this was hilarious as shit.  I already know none of you watched the Republican Presidential Debate this past wednesday, because all of you bitches hate politics.  But once again, that's okay, because just like yesterday's post, here is a small clip of what happened.

According to Conan O'Brien, MSNBC tried something new that no one has ever done before.  They flashed some fun facts about the candidates as each of them gave a response to a question.  Conan states they were actually more entertaining than the actual debate.  Check 'em out.

Isn't This The Truth? Google Uses

LMAO, isn't this the truth?  So what do you use Google for mostly?  Nearly half of you use it to get your rocks off.  The other half uses it for spell checking, and an 1/8 of you actually use it for finding useful information.  Oh yeah... and some of you use it when they're too lazy to type in ".com"

Must Watch: An Unprecedented Event Took Place Two Weekends Ago...

The World's Largest Water balloon fight known to man.  Nearly 9,000 people took part in a battle for the ages.  Using 175,141 balloons, a war with latex and water raged on.  The video below was provided by the Christian Student Fellowship at the University of Kentucky who hosted the event, and I'd have to say it's pretty darn cool.

Where Is The Little Girl?

Don't mind the fact that this guy is eating, drinking and listening to the radio, as he gets pulled over by the police.  They ask him to step out of the vehicle where they repeatedly ask him, "Where is the little girl?"

To be honest, I thought the video was rather funny.  But some of the people making comments on YouTube were none too thrilled.  One of them wrote, "this isn't funny - this is shit! This actually happened to me!"  Another one stated, "this kind of crap goes on way too often."

If the comments they're posting are true, it truly sucks for law enforcement.  It's bad enough cops are hated because they issue us traffic tickets, but this, really?  I still believe the majority of cops are there to serve and protect, and hope that this never happens to me.

Funny or No? What do you think? Does this happen way too often?

A Big Double Cross!

Must Watch: You Really Didn't Miss Anything

Not interested in politics?  That's okay, this video is only 45 seconds of your day, just a mere 45 seconds of your life.  Pretty much what was said during the debate on Wednesday was... Taxes, Reagan, Taxes, Reagan, Taxes, Reagan...


 I swear, all of these guys are idiots.  You know what?  I take that back.  Jon Huntsman actually broke away from them on a few issues, but all that means, Republicans will only shun him.

War of the Roses - Catherine & Dave

Oh wow, this week's "Roses" is a doozie.  LOL. I actually had to look up the word to make sure I spelled it correctly.  But I was right, this week's War of the Roses was pretty bizarre.

In today's call Roula & Ryan spoke with Catherine who's been married to her husband, Dave for 8 years and also dated 5 years prior.  She pretty much stated the obvious fact, that she knows her man well; Her and her husband have two small children, a 7-yr-old boy and 5-yr old girl.

Before I continue... If you're not familiar with my "War of the Roses" segment, then I suggest you read my first issue, here;  I wrote a detailed description on how it actually works.

Catherine proceeds to tell Roula & Ryan that her husband, Dave is really "off" and showing strange behavior.  She states that she's kind of embarrassed to say it, but by odd behavior she means sexually.  She says that Dave has recently been wanting to try all sorts of "crazy stuff" in bed, trying different positions and so forth, things that he never once contemplated of doing in all the years she's been with him.  She says that she knows her husband, he's kind of dorky, doesn't even like watching porn, etc.., but last week something strange happened.  In the middle of the night, which also rarely happens, he wakes her up to have sex, and while they're doing it he calls her by a different name - "Taylor."  When she confronts him about it, he says that he's half-asleep and doesn't know what he's saying, that he was probably having a dream or something.

Roula & Ryan tell her there is enough information to convince them she has a reason to do "Roses."  They ask Catherine if she has anything else she wants to share.  And she does...  She says that last weekend she was taking the kids to a birthday party, and it was going to be a large one.  Knowing this, she asked Dave if he could join her, because she needed help to watch over the kids, but he told her he was not feeling well, the previous night he had a few beers, blah, blah, blah.  In either case, Catherine and the kids decide to come home early from the party and daddy isn't home.  She calls to find out where he is, and he doesn't answer the phone.  Now, this is a man who is stuck to his phone like glue, has a holster for it and everything, he never goes anywhere without his phone.  He never answers her calls and never calls back, instead he shows up at home 2 hours later looking like he'd seen a ghost.  His explanation was that he went for a walk.  Catherine says that not once has he ever taken "a walk"

PhotobucketRoula and Ryan share their thoughts on the matter, go over the rules of the "War," and ask her again if she really wants to go through with this, because regardless of the outcome, Dave will have to know she made the call to the radio station to trick him.

So how does this battle end?  Will Dave send the flowers to Catherine or Taylor?  Is there, in fact, another woman, or is it a guy????

the war rages on....

President Obama Telephones The Man Who Wants His Job...

According to the Associated Press, President Obama called up Rick Perry to express his concern for the residents near Houston, Texas who have been amid one of the most destructive fires in Texas history.  The President was on top of it all, and made it clear to Mr. Perry that the federal government would continue to provide assistance at the state and local level.

This is by far one of the most horrible things I have ever witnessed.  It's on every local news channel, day in and day out and yesterday we got news from our University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center President that several employees lived in the areas where the fires took place; Some have even lost their homes.

I cannot imagine what it would be like to lose everything, especially with Ryan and I both at work, not knowing what's going on at home.  Good thing Ryan works 5 minutes from home, so he could save our puppies quickly.  There's no easy way to say this, but I'm also grateful that the winds took the fire in a northwestern direction because I have family on the northwest side, and it's something I couldn't fathom if something happened to them.  I'm hoping and praying that this fire can be contained soon, because I know many people are being affected.

Loaf of hollowed out bread filled with creamy peanut butter, a jar of grape jelly, and a pound of bacon.  Did you get that?  A POUND of bacon!  Yes, someone out there is making this delicious meal right now.  I don't have the statistics, but I'm going to say every 30 seconds one of these is made around the world.  I'm done!  Ryan, forget about dinner tonight.
