ROTTEN LITTLE KIDS

I'm not a parent, so stories about kids give me a skull-cracking case of the I'm-boreds.

Unless the story is told with great skill, in which case I must be reading Snooze Button Dreams' entry into the New Blog Showcase, "Kids trade bad habits like Pokemon cards". In this rare exception to the above rule, I found myself thoroughly enjoying Snooze's description of kids conspiring to exchange their evil ways. A sample:

------------

B: I was over with Bear's Other Friend yesterday and I got BREAKING EXPENSIVE STUFF. I only had to give him SNEEZING ON DADDY'S PLATE. You got anything that good?

BF: Almost. Last week Bear's Friend's Sister was playing on the floor and then just SPEWED WITH NO WARNING AT ALL. It was awesome. She traded me for TAKING OFF PULLUPS AND PEEING IN THE BED.

-------------

Pretty good stuff & more where that came from. Go read the whole thing.

FILTHY LIES 

 

Frank says we need more lies about Evil Glenn.

 

I can't help much there. I'm too honest.

 

However, when I was talking with Evil Glenn the other day, I did discover something quite shocking. We were discussing some of our favorite retired comic strip writers...

 

Harv: Yeah, I miss Gary Larson, too. And I always really liked Bloom County. Some people said it was just a Doonesbury wanna-be, but I thought  it was quite innovative.

 

Evil Glenn: I agree. I really liked Opus. I love penguins. In fact, I even have a small, penguin-related business on the side. Let me show you something on my computer.

 

Harv: Penguinperv.com?

 

Evil Glenn: One of my favorite web-cam sites.

 

 

 

 

Harv: Does that book say "Instapundit" on the cover?

 

Evil Glenn: Yup.

 

Harv: Why does that penguin have an odd little smile on his face?

 

Evil Glenn: Obviously he REALLY enjoys what he's looking at. And I guarantee you he's not reading it for the articles.

 

Harv: You published a book of penguin porn?

 

Evil Glenn: Yup. Nothing more erotic than a penguin. The stark black-and-white contrast, the beak, those tiny feathers... indeed.

 

Harv: You sick, vile, sub-human pervert!

 

Evil Glenn: Geez, Harv, relax. Puppy smoothie?

 

Harv: Get away from me!

 

Evil Glenn: Say... has anyone ever told you that you look like a hobo? [reaching slowly for whacking hammer]

 

Harv: AAAAAAHH! [flees in terror]

 

So the truth is out. Evil Glenn publishes penguin porn on the side. Just one more reason...

 

Instapundo Delenda Est!

 

 

 

[hat tip to Intergalactic Capitalist for the pic]

 

 

UPDATE (8/27/03): Over at Alliance HQ, I provide further evidence of Evil Glenn's penguin porn production.

SALVO #2

Via Alliance HQ, I've discovered that Blackfive, having handily defeated French-Man, has gone on to fire another blast at Evil White Glenn.

Heh. Love the look on that puppy's face.

Be sure to look at the other pictures, too.

SPRAYING THE MONITOR - AGAIN

Frank has a new In My World episode up. The Rumsfeld Strangler vs. Cyber-Lenin. Super Atomic Drink Alert in effect. Anything you attempt to ingest while reading this will be spewed forth with extreme prejudice. You have been warned.

Now pack up the consumables and go forth.

A LITTLE SOMETHING FOR THE MARRIED GUYS

Via the Carnival of the Vanities #48 (which has more good stuff in it than I have time to blog about, you should really go poke around if you haven't already), Dustbury has some amusing and insightful, if somewhat cynical, observations on the institution of marriage. Be sure to check the comments for the "husband shopping center" joke. Damned funny, that one.

THE MARRIAGE PROTECTION AMENDMENT

I enjoy marriage. I respect religion. I admire the Constitution. But I think mixing those three together to "protect the institution of marriage" as has been proposed is a bad idea. I'll leave the "why" for another time.

Anyway, if you are going to give those 3 a mix, you might as well go all out, thus leading to the (intentionally) amusing example which Public Nuisance offers. Here's part one (of four) of his proposed amendment:

-----------------

1 Marriage in the United States shall consist of a union between one man and one or more women.1 Marriage shall not impede a man's right to take concubines in addition to his wife or wives.2

-----------------

And it's all jake with the Old Testament ;-)

Go read the rest. It's short & sweet.

MS WORD: DELETED MIGHT NOT BE

I use MS Word a lot. Mostly because I have the pocket version on my PDA (where I write a lot of stuff on my lunch hour), and it transfers nicely to my desktop for publication. But I never use it for composing documents intended to be sent as e-mail attachments.

In case you do, there's something you should know about Word. There's a quirk that could allow "deleted content" in your document to be recovered by the recipient. Cold Fury's got the details.
