Quick Guide to The Supreme Court Justices

Our nation's Supreme Court has been in the news quite a bit lately.  So I figured I'd share this quick guide made by dalmatianparade.  It's absolutely hilarious, and oh, so true.  Check it out.

Cyanide and Happiness: Jesus Foot Prints

Since we're on the subject of Jesus, and because I do love Him.  Here's a little Cyanide & Happiness for your day.

Just Sayn'

My conservative Christian friends hate it when I bring this up, but it's true.  Jesus never said anything about homosexuality, yet they live by the word of God in it's entirety.  Well... supposedly, because you know they break the law by speeding, drinking, dancing, cursing, smoking, and divorcing.   

Oh BTW, I'm Gay and a Christian.

It's Purely Animal - Issue No. 62 - How Animals Eat Their Food

So this is my first-ever issue of "It's Purely Animal" where the subjects are not animals; In fact, they're human.  But I guess you could say we're all animals in a way. LOL.

I'm posting this viral video on my blog, because everyone and their mother has seen it.  And they find it quite humorous.  It's "eh" for me, but quirky I suppose. LOL. Check it out.

Okay, the flamingo and the rhinoceros were kinda funny.

What a Hot Mess: Seeking Robb Stark Look-alike from GoT - w4m

"Please only respond to this post if you look like Robb Stark!  I would appreciate pictures, but please, no names.  In order to stay as true to the fantasy as possible, I ONLY want you to refer to yourself as Robb Stark.  You will need to provide your own clothing.  Please keep in mind that you will have recently participated in a battle and been thrown in a dungeon, so you will not be wearing your nicest furs.  I'm looking for a Stark in the streets but a wildling in the sheets."

Omg! What a Hot Mess!  "I'm looking for a Stark in the streets, but a Wildling in the sheets." LMAO!

I don't know what's a hotter mess - the fact that she bought a $34,000 replica of the Iron Throne featured on the television series, Game of Thrones, or that she posted this Craigslist ad.  It's absolutely hilarious.  Read the entire Craigslist ad below.

Things That Make You Go Hmmm... Dogs Smarter Than Cats?

 Dogs can understand about a two hundred word human vocabulary while a cat only comprehends about fifty words.

Things that make you go hmmm...

 

"I'll teach my dog 100 words," says the boy in the children's story of the same name. But can he really? Dog owners love to gush about canine intelligence. So it would come as no surprise to them that research supports their beliefs that dogs have a profound mental capacity. But how much of our language do dogs really understand? It turns out that the language comprehension of some dogs rivals that of apes and parrots, not to mention the average 3-year-old. [read more]

2012 Underemployment Rates at the U.S. News Top 25 Law Schools

If you're planning to be a lawyer, you may want to look into doing something else.  I'm not trying to be a downer or anything, but things aren't looking too bright in the U.S. News Top 25 Law Schools.  Just sayn'.

Here are the percentage of graduates who are unemployed or in short-term, part-time, or non-professional jobs 9 months after graduation.

The Jobs Crisis at Our Best Law Schools Is Much, Much Worse Than You Think

Could this just be a sign the U.S. News rankings are way off and don’t really reflect the job market? In part, yes. The magazine’s annual list does incorporate employment outcomes as part of its formula, and some law firms pay an absurd amount of attention to it. But after going back through the data and ranking the 25 schools with the lowest underemployment, I found that only 15 of them could be found in the U.S. News Top 25. The other 10 included schools like number #76 LSU and number #126 Campbell University.

Quoted - My Partner Ryan on His Trip to the Post Office Yesterday

"This was outside the post office along with another guy asking if I wanted to know more about being a revolutionary. God Bless Texas and all it's crazies. Suffice it to say he didn't ask the black guy that was walking in front of me."

Bounce Inc.

What an amazing video.  I was mesmerized by the quality and the hard bodies :-).  Actually the video was shot using a Phantom Miro Camera - capable of shooting 1500 frames per second.  

Experts in cinematic sports, Australia's Infinity List joined Bounce Inc, to produce this awe-inspiring video.  Bounce is a massive indoor trampoline universe all about jumping high and landing soft & safe. Imagine over 100 interconnected trampolines, over 500 square metres of foam pits and padding to land on, and trampoline ‘dodge-ball’.

Bounce's Free Jumping Revolution team is made up of professional gymnasts, snowboarders, skateboarders, and circus performers.
 

Foods That Will Make You Fat - Issue No. 27

Where do I even begin with this week's issue of "Foods That Will Make You Fat"?  I guess we can start with the delicious Sushi everybody loves.  And I'm not talking about the healthy Japanese ones you guys enjoy.  This one is "All-American".

Thanksgiving Sushi

Are you tired of making potpies with all your Thanksgiving leftovers?  Well, tire no more, this lovely recipe will have you eating Japanese sushi - American style.  Yep, this lovely concoction has green beans, roasted turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce, garlic and brown gravy.  Doesn't this just want to make you go out and buy all the ingredients?  I'm going to say, probably not.

Downside Watson

So after you and the family are done playing with your frisbee, why not take it inside and throw in 7 scoops of ice cream (vanilla, coffee Oreo, PB Reese’s, white Russian, mint Oreo, cherry vanilla, and reverse chocolate chip), 9 toppings (Oreos, Heath bar, hot fudge, whipped cream, Reese’s Pieces, mixed nuts, waffle pieces, rainbow sprinkles, and almonds) and feast on it?  Seriously, who would eat this crap?

Pecanless Pie

If you thought I was done with Thanksgiving you were wrong.  What's Thanksgiving dinner without a yummy pecan pie?  Honestly, why do they even call it a Pecanless pie?  It doesn't even have pecans or any type of  nut in it.  The damn pie is made with Fritos Corn Chips!  Can I go throw up now?

YES!  THESE FOODS WILL MAKE YOU FAT! 

Angry Notes From Neighbors

My guess is... you should probably never piss off your neighbors.  I'm going to assume that none of these signs were posted in Texas homes.  Texans would shoot your ass if you posted a note like this.  Well a majority of them anyway. LOL.  Need I remind you what neighbors did to our Obama signs?

Check out these angry notes from neighbors.  I'd say some are a bit cruel.

There's 10 more after the jump..

A Very Special Moment - Issue #7: My Son & His "Roommate" Invited Me To Dinner

OMG, I absolutely love this!  I definitely had to post it as "A Very Special Moment" on my blog.  The story is courtesy of Facebook friend, Kyle Ryan Palmer, who posted it on his newsfeed this morning.

Oh, how I love Mothers!  They are undeniably the best at EVERYTHING!!!!  And so very cunning too!

Check out the story below.

A Mom went to have dinner with her son who lives with his roommate.

During the course of the meal, his mother couldn't help but notice how handsome his roommate was. She had been suspicious about her sons sexuality but being a good mother she felt that he would let her know if and when the time was right but seeing the two together just made her more curious.

Over the course of the evening, while watching the interaction between the two she wondered even more if there was more here than meets the eye. Her son, sensing his mothers watchfully eye volunteered, "really Mom, I can tell what you're thinking and you can just get it out of your mind, we are just roommates and nothing more".

About a week later the roommate remarked, "ever since your mother was here the silver serving platter has been missing, do you think she took it?"

He responded, "Well I'm sure she didn't but I will email her and ask just to be sure" he sat down and wrote:

Hey Mom,

I'm not saying you did take the silver platter from the house and I am not saying you didn't take it but the fact remains that it has been missing ever since you were here for dinner.

Love,
Your Son.

A couple days later he got a response from his mother:

Dear Son,

I am not saying that you do sleep with your roommate and I am not saying that you don't sleep with him and you know I love you and could care less either way but the fact remains that if he was sleeping in his own bed he would have found the platter under his pillow.

When are the two of you coming for dinner?

Love,
Mom

Cyanide and Happiness: Pizza

Laugh of the Day: Human Chair Scare Prank

LOL.  This prank was previously done on the Today Show on NBC, but magician, Rich Ferguson thought it would be hilarious to try it at the Kreuzberg Cafe in San Luis Obispo, California.

 

From Magic and Mentalism to Pranks and Products, Rich Ferguson's YouTube Channel is a blast. We'll share tons of tricks, pranks, performances and creative projects that will blow your mind!

The Lovely 29 States That Can Fire You For Being Gay

Yep, and my lovely state of Texas if one of them.  I look at this sea of red and can't figure out why these state legislatures would allow this to happen.  I have my theories, but there are not enough curse words in the English or Spanish language to voice my frustration.

Thankfully, employers make their own decisions in our state.  And while M.D. Anderson doesn't provide health insurance for our spouses, they do support the GLBT community.  Now, Ryan's bank, on the other hand, provides domestic partner benefits, and this is across the board - all over the U.S. 

I honestly believe that if conservatives and republicans could find a way, they would make it illegal to be Gay.  I honestly believe that. They hate us that much.

Things We Can Do To Save The Environment - Issue No. 16 - Pay Your Bills Online

I bet you didn't know that by paying your bills online you're helping the environment.  Think about it.  Every time you get a bill in the mail, your statement is printed on 1 to 6 sheets of paper.  Imagine all the trees you could save by accepting your bill electronically.

Ryan and I pay our bills online, but it wasn't until 2 or 3 months ago that we stopped all the paper nonsense.  Another thing to mark off our "Saving our Environment" list!!

Giving credit to TIME,  I'd like to thank them for showing us the many ways we can help save the environment.  Just one person can make a difference, and it starts with YOU!

16. Pay Your Bills Online

Eliminating your paper trail by banking and paying bills online does more than save trees. It also helps reduce fuel consumption by the trucks and planes that transport paper checks. If every U.S. home viewed and paid its bills online, the switch would cut solid waste by 1.6 billion tons a year and curb greenhouse-gas emissions by 2.1 million tons a year, according to Javelin Strategy & Research. Worried about security? Don't be. Just ignore e-mails "phishing" for personal data, and monitor all (electronic) statements for any unauthorized debits. Report problems immediately, and your credit won't take the hit. To avoid unnecessary carbon dioxide-emitting car trips to the bank on payday, ask your employer to directly deposit your paycheck. You'll get your money faster that way too.
 

Make sure to follow Blade 7184 every Tuesday for a new issue of Things We Can Do To Save The Environment.  Each issue is thought-provoking, informative and may hold the key to saving your children and grandchildren's future.  Please feel free to click on my logo to read previous issues.

OMG Hilarious! "Yeah, You Know Why I Threw A Toaster At You? Cause, Your'e Toast!" - Coach Kelly

OMG, talk about hilarious!  Leave it up to Saturday Night Live to mock the recent firing of Mike Rice over at Rutgers.  The university's men's basketball coach was fired after a video surfaced of him throwing basketballs at his players, along with using gay slurs.

Well, the fabulous folks over at SNL introduced us to Coach Kelly over the weekend.  Take a look - she will have you ROFL.
