Pretty Please...

Could ladies stop getting mad at me for calling them "mam?" You could be 8 to 80, blind cripple, crazy, and I am still going to call you Mam. It's just how it is. It isn't reflection of your age as much as it's part of the Eddie Haskell up bringing I was given. Actually my family was nothing like theirs, but it's part of my up bringing, so deal with it.

Why I kind of hate Apple Inc.

Dumb statements like this

"And like the original iPhone, it combines three products in one — a revolutionary phone, a widescreen iPod, and a breakthrough Internet device with rich HTML email and a desktop-class web browser"

So how many devices is a computer? How many devices is my DVR? How many devices is this guy?

Or this one?

Or the one I would support.

Well...it's actually about Baseball

So I was reading a baseball blog, and the writer put up a quote about clutch hitting. I feel this quote has many uses. Let's all try and work it into our daily lives:

"Why believe in something whose existence can objectively be determined to be unprovable?"

Just wondering

The other day a friend of mine was talking about how his wife didn't like the idea of sending their kids to public school. She had a myriad of reasons, but the one that struck me as the most curious was the teaching of evolution. His argument was some what reasonable. He said that you send the kids to school, let them learn it and then when they come home, you simply inform them of your beliefs. So far so god, but here's the part that struck me. He said, "...you tell them that we believe in the Bible and that evolution hasn't been proven anyways."

All this leads me to my question. At what point do we start treating people who deny the idea of evolution as if they are members of The Flat Earth Society? Just curious.

Showbiz

I call it Showbiz, b/c frankly that's what it was called when I was a kid. There wasn't any of this Chucky Cheese B.S. being shown to the kids. I am certain the name change was for a valid reason, but it always seemed odd to me. Though none of the preceding is why I am writing.

No that reason is far, far more creepy. How I never found the animatronic (fuck you google, it's a word) puppets at Showbiz disturbing is beyond me. I mean you had singing, dancing, and instrument playing woodland creatures. No wonder so many of my friends turned to drugs. I mean after seeing that kind of crap in your formative years you would be freaked out as well. Now comes this...

Often times I hear Memphians and none-Memphians complain about this city and talk about "Real Culture." This comic kind of reminds me of every time I have been drug kicking and screaming into said conversation.




p.s. This animation was inspired by this comic, by this guy.

"Man...it's bad enough that we let women drive, but once we give them a cell phone..."

The story continued on with some more lovely misogyny. Something tells me he won't be voting for Hillary.
