So how well do you know your memes?
Well a good number of these have appeared on this very site. So if you can't recognize at least 5, you may need to start spending your evenings at the AoSHQ study hall. And yes - this will be on the final exam.
Answer key here.
He died last week at age 87. He was a master of improv, wacky characters and physical comedy - enough so to be described as 3 stooges in one. Sadly most younger people have probably never seen or heard one of his performances.
Judge Orders NY Man's Guns Returned After Confiscation
First they came for guns apparently because he was on anxiety medication.
It was reported that the unidentified man was taking a prescription for anxiety.
The enforcement action started on March 29th when New York State Police asked the Erie County Clerk's Office to pursue revoking the man's pistol permit because he owned guns in violation of the mental health provision of New York's newly enacted guns law called the SAFE ACT.
But it turns out that - doh! - they got the wrong guy completely:
"They really pushed us to move quickly on this. We received a subsequent email from one of the State Police sargents making sure that we had taken these firearms away," said Erie County Clerk Chris Jacobs.The State Police information was reviewed by a Supreme court judge, and the man's pistol permit suspended and guns taken away.
But now it turns out that the information was wrong.
After further investigation, State Supreme Court Judge William Boller has ruled that the police information that was the basis for the action was "in error."
Justice Boller writing that the "individual named pursuant to the New York Safe Act was not in fact the above named Licensee."
Ashley Judd - Too Weird To Be A Senator?
Well that's the impression that Mother Jones left in an article that I think was supposed to be a puff piece by David Corn. But of course it's horribly sexist to take her own words seriously enough to actually judge her fitness for office based on them.
Yesterday Mother Jones's David Corn published an exposé that shows Judd to be every bit as peculiar as her vulgar Malthusian musings lead one to expect. "I freak out in airports," Corn quotes Judd as saying. "The last time I came home from a trip, I absolutely flipped out when I saw pink fuzzy socks on a rack. I mean, I can never anticipate what is going to push me over the edge."
Her ideas about religion are odd, too: "I have to expand my God concept from time to time," Corn quotes Judd as saying, "and you know particularly I enjoy native faith practices, and have a very nature-based God concept. I'd like to think I'm like St. Francis in that way. Brother Donkey, Sister Bird."
How Far Will a .22LR Kill You?
Pretty damn far - at least out to 400m or more. Bottom line is you don't want to get shot with a .22 - or really anything.
Great Moments in Science - Erectile Dysfunction
In 1983 psychiatrist Giles Brindley demonstrated that certain vasoactive compounds could cause spontaneous erections. It's one thing to talk about a treatment but it's another to actually demonstrate it:
Professor Brindley, still in his blue track suit, was introduced as a psychiatrist with broad research interests. He began his lecture without aplomb. He had, he indicated, hypothesized that injection with vasoactive agents into the corporal bodies of the penis might induce an erection. Lacking ready access to an appropriate animal model, and cognisant of the long medical tradition of using oneself as a research subject, he began a series of experiments on self-injection of his penis with various vasoactive agents, including papaverine, phentolamine, and several others....The Professor wanted to make his case in the most convincing style possible. He indicated that, in his view, no normal person would find the experience of giving a lecture to a large audience to be erotically stimulating or erection-inducing. He had, he said, therefore injected himself with papaverine in his hotel room before coming to give the lecture, and deliberately wore loose clothes (hence the track-suit) to make it possible to exhibit the results. He stepped around the podium, and pulled his loose pants tight up around his genitalia in an attempt to demonstrate his erection.
At this point, I, and I believe everyone else in the room, was agog. I could scarcely believe what was occurring on stage. But Prof. Brindley was not satisfied. He looked down sceptically at his pants and shook his head with dismay. 'Unfortunately, this doesn't display the results clearly enough'. He then summarily dropped his trousers and shorts, revealing a long, thin, clearly erect penis. There was not a sound in the room. Everyone had stopped breathing.
...The rest is history. Prof Brindley's single-author paper reporting these results was published about 6 months later.
Well at least the 17-year ones are. Remember - they're a delicacy in some countries.

So today, last day of funemployment, I checked out a Pohl book out of the local library. It was one of those Gateway / Heechee books; it had "The Merchants of Venus" in it.
Anti-capitalist screed, mainly with reference to Texas. And the title was too cute by half.
Will return it with prejudice.

Did Bun-Bun make meme status? I wasn't internet savvy (which falsly implies that I am now) back when that strip started running.
For that matter I don't recognize most of the pictures even now.

That's what the yelling is about because I'm mad the dog ate my dogs and he's yelling back but it was a dream and they weren't real and I'm yelling back they're still books!
Also he may be taking great glee in pointing out that if it were a real dog it would actually be taller than me. The fact that he's right is completely irrelevant to this discussion.

Ravelry is a free social site mostly focusing on knitting and crocheting, but once you get an account the groups discuss anything and everything ( as in it took me 2 minutes to find one for widows when John died, fans of the Klingon language, almost any author or genre, *everything*).
We created a group called 'Ettes of the Moron Horde and already have threads for gardening, and cooking, stain glass work, etc. along with the standard knitting and crocheting.

Anna,
I remember during college sitting in a hot tub with four other people and talking to one girl for about an hour because she said that I reminded her of a character from a webcomic set in Denver, and I replied, "It's Walky?" She was so excited to find someone else who read it.

The reason this is so hilarious is because a. he knows that's the kind of dog I would love to have and b. that eating the books is the thing that would make me freak out the most.

Well that opening is mostly right. Save they are partial to eating human livers and how you expose them. And forgets their eyes can glow red. Far far nastier than China's or Japan's fox spirits. Only the Black Kitsune from Japan really eclipses the evil of the kumiho. Must pretend to be human for 1,000 years to become human. And if they have daughters while pretending to be human, those girls become kumiho. A staple of South Korean soap operas also.

Boulder toilet hobo: I'm considering getting Lasik and I think you were the person on here that had the bad experience with it. If so, what's your opinion? Do you think it was just bad luck in your case, or you got a bad surgeon, or the procedure itself?
Posted by: rfichoke at April 14, 2013 10:06 PM (CcIvJ)
---------------
I got Lasik about 14 years ago. Thing is, it changes the shape of your corneas but not the lenses. In effect, mine wore off, and most people I know who got it are back wearing glasses.
Posted by: USS Diversity at April 14, 2013 06:13 PM (5wHPS)
I think my experience was atypical.
1. Research the place FULLY. Don't go to a place just because it's popular. If it's popular they might rush things.
2. If it's lasik, they're going to pull the cornea up and roll it back again. You need to be extremely careful in that first afternoon and evening. Don't move around much. Let someone else open the door for you. (PRK will be less risky here, because they'll just nuke the cornea itself.)
3. Follow all the instructions they give you. [this much I managed to do]
4. Don't poke your eyes, stay away from dust.
5. Probably should do this in the summer. Don't do it in cold / flu / infection season. Because shit happens and you want as little shit as possible.

There is no amending the Constitution for #17. Ken Buck mooted that idea when he ran for Senate here. He got spanked by Bennet. It doesn't matter that it's a good idea; even mentioning an antidemocratic amendment will get you tagged as "extreme".
There is just nothing that will fix this country excepting a restoration of old school monarchy. And you can't get people to vote for that.

Boomer,
I've been arguing for that same plan for the last couple of years. Let the states figure out how to collect the money and let them decide what works best. If California wants to do an income tax while North Dakota wants to tax oil companies, then let them do so and live with the results.

That's the basis of the second season of an anime I'm currently blanking on. Was Manga in The magazine that went all digital (relatively) recently. Which made it nearly impossible for Eldest Kidlet to access and really ticked her off.

Reinforcements have arrived from somewhere so I am calling it a night. But, considering a few fled again as they cannot abide the relentless mocking, and conservative opinions are allowed to float to the top, I figure I can unclench my fingers from keyboard as husband is wondering what I have been up to all weekend. I am so sick and tired of their abortion yapping this is the best I can do. Why I am doing it remains to be seen. However, my insertion to read the Grand Jury report linked in WaPo now has led some to the house of horrors that is Gosnell's "clinic."
Tomorrow is another day. I do hope I get something done like laundry. Pay close attention to liberal blogs, newspapers and MSNBC as this is about to get real this week. Thanks to Ace and other conservative bloggers, and Kristen Powers, they are being forced to go to this trial. Love y'all. Please lend a hand in this war if you have even a few minutes.

That was the Articles of Confederation model for tax collection.
The main problem was what to do if a state refused to pay. Personally, I think that would be a limited problem and that you'd mostly see haggling over the amounts, which would hopefully push for the Federal government to reduce its size. If a state did up and refuse to pay, then you could immediately suspend any recognition of official state documents. License plates, marriages, ID, etc. Make it painful for the citizens until they put pressure on their government to pay up.

My solution is to cut out welfare and fund the government by having then *use* the public land as intended. If they actually did the timber, mineral, grazing leases that they're supposed to be using that land for there'd be jobs *and* (hopefully) just enough income for the Constitutional necessities.

Speaking of fanfic, most of my original story/character ideas were stolen from a Pokemon fanfic. It's amusing to see where the muse has grown since then.

Never became a fan of Pokemon. I just looked at all the money being spent on cards to play it and decided to spend my $s elsewhere. So what do I do? Buy five boxes of anime cards from a series just to build a complete set. That was over $200 blown right there. Go figure why I stopped collecting cards huh?

Not that one. It was in Shonnen Jump. Main character was a kid (big surprise right?) who's 1/4th demon and is the heir of his full-blood demon grandfather the Lord of a band of demons that likes to trick and annoy humans as opposed to eating them. In a lot of ways it's shows the demons as controlling various cities almost exactly the way crime syndicates do.

They honestly quit name calling to the conservatives, the stupid immature redundancy. I even gave fouls for the use of Bush and Romney due to lack of originality.
Tonight they were behaving or fled. It is pretty weird. Perhaps I will do a real study of WaPo in the Mist. I got to practice my French as well. All in all it was funny (I pretended to be sort a female Sheldon from Big Bang when I could not translate acronyms like WMD on BableFish). I don't know what to think, but their repetitive bs name calling ended with the mocking. It could be due to them thinking I was taking names. My husband has decided I am insane (it took him a long time).

Here are the facts: Senator Corker is a strong supporter of the Second Amendment and has an “A” rating from the NRA. http://1.usa.gov/ZlPS1J His vote Thursday was to allow S. 649 to be debated and amended and was not scored by the NRA. There will be another vote next week (which will also require 60 votes for passage) to allow a final vote on the bill. Senator Corker has said he will filibuster any legislation that violates our Second Amendment rights."

Unless you want to lose 35 pounds. Now I weigh what I did in college - I'd already lost about 20 trying.
Being useless for a couple of months wasn't fun. That spinning toilet thing - like a whirling dervish is pretty interesting too. Blowing from both ends simultaneously requires great timing and coordination. With a 105 fever, it gets harder - call it a handicap.
BTW, I think there's a lot missing from the meme thing. For instance, where's the obnoxious orange or the amber lamps dude?

That e-mail was traced back to former Justice of the Peace Eric Williams, according to those sources.
Williams is the main suspect in the murder case, sources say. He is currently jailed on unrelated charges and being held on $3 million bond.
News 8 has learned that 20 weapons were recovered from a unit at a Seagoville self-storage locker in connection with the unsolved Kaufman County murders. Sources said the locker had been rented on behalf of Eric Williams.

Corker, up for reelection in '14 (anybody feel like some primaryin'?) and Lamar "Flannel Shirt, no Cattle" Alexander, both alleged republicans representing Tennesseeans, voted for cloture. The NRA did not score the vote, or else they wouldn't have voted how they did - they're both first-order cowards on national issues. I hope that the NRA is scoring each and every vote to follow, because that's enough to keep those pantywaists in line. I also hope that the Repubs voting for cloture did it with the full knowledge, based on whip counts, that it is purely a strategy to get red state donks to vote in favor of gun control, and not because they're DC-centric lapdogs.

The attorney for the man accused of murdering Trayvon Martin wants details about a wrongful-death settlement — which could have paid $1 million or more — given to the late teen's parents.
George Zimmerman, who is facing a charge of second-degree murder, has a right to know how much money the homeowners association where he lived and the shooting took place gave Trayvon's parents, his attorney says in a motion filed Thursday.
An attorney for the teen's parents filed the settlement last week, requested it be sealed, and maintains that the agreement is irrelevant to the criminal case against Zimmerman.

The new information was revealed by Social Security Administration Inspector General Patrick O'Carroll Jr. to U.S. Rep. Blaine Luetkemeyer in a conversation shortly after noon yesterday, Luetkemeyer spokesman Paul Sloca said.
"Blaine was told the disc was readable, and when the person who received it understood the breadth of what they received, they had contacted their headquarters and relayed the fact that they had received all that information," Sloca said.
In testimony to the Senate Appropriations Committee this week, Replogle said he had been assured by investigator Keith Schilb and his supervisor that Schilb had never seen the data on the disc, and it had been destroyed. It contained information, confidential under state law, about 163,000 people who have concealed weapon privileges.
The changing story "is total news to me," Replogle said. "I am not going to make any comment, but I am going to be checking into it myself. I can assure you that is not what I was told, and I reported exactly what I was told."

My first reaction was "you have got to be fucking kidding me...", but then I remembered this is America 2013. The HOA has decided that roofs will leak and lawns will go un-mowed in order to pay blood money, still unowed, to the parents of St. Trayvon. Decline is a choice. That choice has been made in many locales.

Unconfirmed reports which suggested a coup against the leader have been rubbished by experts in Seoul citing no unusual military movement in the country.
Alongside a flurry of threats from North Korea, Kim's absence has set rumour mills rolling. One question being asked is whether Pyongyang has been forced to tone down its war rhetoric against the US and South Korea.

If the brief CV you posted above reflects actual experience and success, I have no advice for you. I suspect you'll find a way to leave the cave and kill something every day one way or another without unsolicited internet advice. Having been a chemist for a time, I will note that I'm a bit jealous that you got to blow stuff up. I did my time in flavors and fragrances, where you do your best to prevent explosions.

First things first -- where are you? Some areas of the country are credential-crazy; others consider them indicative of tendencies toward bootlicking.
Second things second -- what do you intend to do? If you're going to be competing with MBAs, maybe you need one to buy off HR.....but if you're competing with young bucks, you might disimprove your situation by looking more staid.

Unconfirmed reports which suggested a coup against the leader have been rubbished by experts in Seoul citing no unusual military movement in the country.

Actually, I'm unmarried -- happily. The BH and I are happily working on our third decade together.
But I understand the "career advice from someone who doesn't know your field" syndrome. My BH has occasionally suggested "why don't you do taxes during tax season?" It does no good to point out that 25 years of experience as a controller means bupkis when they changed the tax rules last year. Even worse, being tangentially involved with taxes is a growing liability the more years there are, since you are more likely to remember how something worked under the old rules than under the new. Further, 25 years of experience means that you are old and decrepit, and unlikely to put up with the 70-hours-of-abuse-per-week that is tax season.
The problem is that an MBA both wastes your time and depletes your resources. You'd be better off as a greeter at WalMart in that THEY pay YOU a pittance, rather than having YOU pay THEM.

He will meet the presidents of the three countries and sign agreements to develop economic and political relations, Fars said without providing details.
Ahmadinejad is to arrive in Benin on Sunday afternoon on an official visit in his capacity as chairman of the Non-Aligned Movement of countries, the country's foreign minister, Nassirou Arifari Bako, told AFP.
"Education, agriculture and, above all, energy" will be on the agenda, the minister said.
The Iranian president then heads to Niger on Monday for a two-day visit, the government in Niamey said.
"He will lead a large delegation and both our nations will discuss cooperation and means of strengthening it," Iran's ambassador told reporters after a meeting with Niger's President Mahamadou Issoufou.
Mohammad Nikkhah said the visit would be a turning point in bilateral ties and would yield "excellent opportunities that will benefit both peoples".
He did not elaborate, but Niger is one of the world's top producers of uranium, which Iran has long been seeking to acquire for its controversial nuclear program.

I'd really like to, but we have train tickets from Endinburgh to London. Then train to Burges.then train to Paris. It is a fast trip of 12 days that feels like we will get not a lot done. Have been to Paris and London prior to this trip. I do need to , this week, when not harassing people on WaPo, to practice French.
I apologize for typos as I am sort of doing this in the dark. bon nuit

Disassemble it as much as you can and rinse the pieces with distilled water, submerging them if necessary. Blow water off with compressed air if you have it, you through a straw if you don't. Reassemble and try again.

I had a glass of coke fall over into a glass of water and both poured out into my keyboard and filled it up. I unplugged it, took it to the sink carefully, and rinsed it out, then took it apart and dried it out. The frigging thing worked fine after that. I was shocked

I really, really, really need to cut down on drinking. And being drunk. And posting while drunk. All those things that Dr. Zachary Smith would have taught me, were it not for his unfortunate absence back in 1997.
