Beautifully Random Links-Tater Salad Edition

A universal basic income in America?
Pegacorns, but what a wonderful idea. You start out under your parents’ roof, you get your first job, but you need a car, insurance, gas money, you usually have to pay for your work uniforms and supplies…Unlike Monopoly, though, we don’t start out with $200 to get us on our way to financial independence.
Ya gotta admit, it would be nice even if they gave everyone that basic $200 monthly once you hit 18.
Pegacorns but I am a dreamer.

If anyone had a brain, they’d realize a basic income would have meant our virus laden economy wouldn’t be in such a shit state because people would have still had money ot pay bills and buy goods. DERP.
And no dream shattering logic on how it’s unfeasible or breeds free loadng. Let me have my damn pegacorn in theory.

I’m Gonna Wash Your Mouth Out With Hand Sanitizer, says a schoolteacher

It happens to most new parents…
“No one is more cautious than a first-time parent. After our daughter was big enough to ride on the back of my bicycle, I bought a special carrier with a seat belt and got her a little helmet.

The day of the first ride I put her in the seat, double-checked all the equipment, wheeled the bike to the end of the driveway, carefully looked both ways and, swinging my leg up over the crossbar, accidentally kicked her right in the chin. ”

Late one night a burglar broke into a house that he thought was unoccupied. He hadn’t gotten far when he heard a voice say, “Jesus is watching.”

The burglar froze. But nothing happened, so he went back to his work.

Again the voice said, “Jesus is watching.”

The burglar looked around, and spotted a parrot in a cage.

“Was that you, you stupid bird?” the burglar asked.

“I’m not a stupid bird,” the parrot replied. “I’m John the Baptist.”

“John the Baptist?” scoffed the burglar. “What kind of idiot names a parrot John the Baptist?”

The bird replied, “The same idiot who named the Rottweiler Jesus.”

I Have A Dream- To Make The WordPress Blogger Community A More Appealing Social Media Site Than Facebook and Twitter

Take a Ride on My Mood Swing

Don’t get the title of this post wrong. I’m well aware that it is unlikely any sites will ever be able to legitimately compete with monster ‘everybody and their grandma and dead grandpa’s dog use it’ social media sites in numbers. And honestly, from my point of view, the more popular something becomes in mainstream society, the less legit it actually becomes. Then it’s just some mindless sheeple trend with people in their 50’s retreating to their teen years and saying, “Well, everyone else is doing it, guess I should get with the times, too.” It sickens me.

No, my dream isn’t as large scale as all that. Nor is it for our newfounded community to become some mindless trend for people to inanely chatter and post about what they ate for lunch every single day of the week, or to gossip about what a tramp so and so is…

Or Gordan Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares, anyway. I cannot fathom how he comes into EVERY single restaurant over 7 years and tests the menu and yet every item is ‘disgusting’. He’s not even that harsh on the contestants of Hell’s Kitchen.
But bitching and moaning and swearing and making other people feel belittled sells more TV ad space, I guess.
=====
I am not saying Ramsay is nice to his HK contestants, by any means. But he doesn’t call them out for their food, without also focusing on something in their appearance or history or intelligence that further belittles them. I think, “You’re cooking is shit I wouldn’t feed my dog” suffices. No need to add on, “You’re a fat piece of shit, this is disgusting, I wouldn’t feed it to my dog.”
Appearance has zilch to do with culinary skills, one would think such a renowned chef would knot that.
Petty meanness sells, I guess.

Millions of years ago, there was no such thing as the wheel. One day, some primitive guys were watching their wives drag a dead mastodon to the food & fire area. It was exhausting work; the guys were getting tired just watching.

Then they noticed some large, smooth, rounded boulders and they had a great idea! They could sit on top of the boulders and get a better view of their wives working.

This was the first in a series of breakthroughs that ultimately led to television…and later to the remote control.

[From Dave Barry.]

One of my favorite things in the world-since I was six years old-are yard sales. Omg, it’s like a lottery, you never know bargains and odd lots you may find. I cannot wait every year for spring so yard sales start up. And my daughter was 6 days old when I took her to her first yard sale so I’ve passed that love onto her.
Here’s a site I like because people come up with really unique ideas on how to decorate or upcycle used stuff and cheap items.

The world has become a soul suckingly sad place when Justin Bieber shaving off his mustache is considered news to be rejoiced.
Him moving to Idaho and never being seen or heard screeching again is what would be rejoiced by some of us.

Every day I read news about the U.S. I am just reminded of every documentary I have watched about psychopathic tyrant leaders. Bin Laden, Hussein, Manson, Koresh-psychopathy isn’t voided just because you can get into office/leadership and sway the sheeple to your side.
We should all be very very scared.
Absolute power corrupts absolutely and if someone was born morally bankrupt and corrupt, gaining power will only turn the monster into a bigger monster.
How people are not terrified tells me the sheeple have become ostriches. Or true believers, which is even worse.
Blind faith is in the psychopathic powers that be is as dangerous as the psychopath.

Some Wednesday Weirdness and Links To Brighte Your Day

This is both bizarre and yet beautiful. Name a cockroach after your ex and watch an animal eat it for Valentine’s Day.
You’d think it was something my warped mind came up with.

Too bad my insurance wouldn’t pay for one of these to ‘cure’ my seasonal depression. The doctors do say it is all about getting more sunlight.

Forget the article…It was worth just reading this blurb.
President Trump, like most IG “models,” refuses to admit that he doesn’t wake up this naturally orange. We all know that his daily makeup routine includes, at the very least, painting his face with decayed coyote blood.
LMFAO. Hey, when I was a teenager people used to say I put my make up on with a steamroller so learn to laugh at yourself or stop stealing Chester Cheetah’s orange hue.

Watching Kitchen Nightmares introduced me to the disgusting (to me) term, gastropub.A gastropub (sometimes referred to as a gastrolounge or in the United States as a gastrobar) is a hybrid pub, bar and restaurant, notable for serving beer, wine and food.
To me, it sounds like some kind of stomach shrinking surgery or stomach pumping procedure. Just…ewww.

A random joke, anyone?
AN OLDER WOMAN runs into her friend at the mall. “You’re not going to believe this,” she said. “I found an old lamp the other day. I rubbed it and a genie popped out. He explained that genies don’t give three wishes anymore, but he did offer me a choice between one of two wishes. He could give me a better memory or turn my husband into the greatest lover ever.”

“Tough choice,” said her friend. “Which one did you choose?”

“That’s the thing. I can’t remember.”

another reason not to text and drive
Have you ever heard someone described as having a pole up their ass? Usually it means uptight, stuck-up or snobbish, but in the case of this story it means the woman was a bad driver, because she ended up with a pole stuck up her ass.

The Colorado woman says she was texting and driving when she hit a pole that went through her car, piercing her thigh and buttocks.

Because FLORIDA
Who brings a machete to McDonald’s?
A Florida man is in critical condition after he was attacked by another man with a machete. Pinellas Park Police responded to the McDonald’s around 11 p.m. after they were called about a fight. They say two men who knew each other got into an altercation and a man, later identified as Devin Quarterman, hit the other with a machete. The victim was taken to a local hospital where he is listed in critical condition. Quarterman ran away from the McDonald’s but police were able to arrest him the following day. Quarterman is charged with attempted first-degree murder, according to Pinellas Park Police.

Ultimate Oxymoron: Comic Immigration

Take a Ride on My Mood Swing

Yes, this is a Ko-fi post link. No, you do not have to follow or buy me a coffee or do a damn thing but click and READ. And maybe think. Jeff Ross got me thinking, doing a comedy show near the border, treating the topic of comedy and the country’s current climate on immigration with both respect and his usual brand of LMFAO.

Read, follow, buy me a coffee for $3 to show you support my writing, even if not that piece. Mama needs quarters to go to the laundromat and dry six loads of laundry I am behind on. Got a washer, but with no dryer and can’t hang out and no room to dry inside…I NEED QUARTERS. Seems like less trouble and potential criminal charges than dousing all the dirty laundry in gasoline and setting it afire.

Please read.
