1977

I received this email today and thought it hilarious enough to post here:

Last weekend I put an exhaust fan in the ceiling for my grandfather. While my brother and I were fitting the fan in between the joists, we found something under the insulation. What we found was this:

A JC Penney catalog from 1977. It's not often blog fodder just falls in my lap, but holy hell this was two solid inches of it, right there for the taking. I thumbed through it quickly and found my next dining room set, which is apparently made by adding upholstery to old barrels:

Also, I am totally getting this for my bathroom:

There's plenty more home furnishings where those came from, however I'm not going to bore you with that. Instead, I'm going to bore you with something else. The clothes.The clothes are fantastic.

Here's how to get your ass kicked in elementary school:

Just look at that belt. It's like a boob-job for your pants. He probably needed help just to lift it into place. The belt loops have to be three inches long. And way to pull them up to your armpits, grandpa.

Here's how to get your ass kicked in high school:

This kid looks like he's pretending to be David Soul, who is pretending to be a cop who is pretending to be a pimp that everyone knows is really an undercover cop. Who is pretending to be 15.

Here's how to get your ass kicked on the golf course:

This "all purpose jumpsuit" is, according to the description, equally appropriate for playing golf or simply relaxing around the house. Personally, I can't see wearing this unless you happen to be relaxing around your cell in D-block. Even then, the only reason you should put this thing on is because the warden made you, and as a one-piece, it's slightly more effective as a deterrent against ass-rapery.

Here's how to get your ass kicked pretty much anywhere:

If you look at that picture quickly, it looks like Mr. Bob "No-pants" Saget has his hand in the other guy's pocket. In this case, he doesn't, although you can tell just by looking at them that it's happened - or if it hasn't happened it will. Oh yes. It will. As soon as he puts down his matching coffee cup.

Here's how to get your ass kicked at the beach:

He looks like he's reaching for a gun, but you know it's probably just a bottle of suntan lotion in a holster.

How to get your ass kicked in a meeting:

If you wear this suit and don't sell used cars for a living, I believe you can be fined and face serious repercussions, up to and including termination. Or imprisonment, in which case you'd be forced to wear that orange jumpsuit.

How to get your ass kicked on every day up to and including St. Patrick's Day:

Dear god in heaven, I don't believe that color exists in nature. There is NO excuse for wearing either of these ensembles unless you're working as a body guard for the Lucky Charms leprechaun.

In this next one, Your Search For VALUE Ends at Penneys.

As does your search for chest hair.

And this -- Seriously. No words.

Oh wait, it turns out that there are words after all. Those words are What. The. F*ck. I'm guessing the snap front gives you quick access to the chest hair. The little tie must be the pull tab.

Also, judging by the sheer amount of matching his/hers outfits, I'm guessing that in 1977 it was considered pretty stylish for couples to dress alike. These couples look happy, don't they?

I am especially fond of this one, which I have entitled "Cowboy Chachi Loves You Best."

And nothing showcases your everlasting love more than the commitment of matching bathing suits.

That, and a blonde girl with a look on her face that says "I love the way your junk fights against that fabric."

Then, after the lovin', you can relax in your one-piece matching terry cloth jumpsuits:

I could go on, but I'm tired, and my eyes hurt from this trip back in time. I think it's the colors. That said, I will leave you with these tasteful little numbers:

Man, that's sexy.

Do you care enough to help?

it is for the kids!!

The fall of Society

How Long Do We Have?

About the time our original thirteen states adopted their new constitution in 1787, Alexander Tyler, a Scottish history professor at the University of Edinburgh, had this to say about the fall of the Athenian Republic some 2,000 years earlier: "A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a permanent form of government."

"A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury."

"From that moment on, the majority always vote for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally collapse due to loose fiscal policy, which is always followed by a dictatorship."

"The average age of the world's greatest civilizations from the beginning of history, has been about 200 years"

"During those 200 years, those nations always progressed through the following sequence:

1. from bondage to spiritual faith;

2. from spiritual faith to great courage;

3. from courage to liberty;

4. from liberty to abundance;

5. from abundance to complacency;

6. from complacency to apathy;

7. from apathy to dependence;

8. from dependence back into bondage"


Professor Joseph Olson of Hemline University School of Law, St. Paul, Minnesota , points out some interesting facts concerning the 2000 Presidential election:

Number of States won by: Gore: 19 Bush: 29

Square miles of land won by: Gore: 580,000 Bush: 2,427,000

Population of counties won by: Gore: 127 million Bush: 143 million

Murder rate per 100,000 residents in counties won by: Gore: 13.2 Bush: 2.1

Professor Olson adds: "In aggregate, the map of the territory Bush won was mostly the land owned by the taxpaying citizens of this great country. Gore's territory mostly encompassed those citizens living in government-owned tenements and living off various forms of government welfare..."

Olson believes the United States is now somewhere between the "complacency and apathy" phase of Professor Tyler's definition of democracy, with some forty percent of the nation's population already having reached the "governmental dependency" phase.

If Congress grants amnesty and citizenship to twenty million criminal invaders called illegal’s and they vote, then we can say goodbye to the USA in fewer than five years.

Apathy is the greatest danger to our freedom.

What a great week

Oh what a fun week this has been so far. My Bengals some how or another actually squeeked out a win, the World Series finally got under way, and as of this writing the #2 team in the country is losing (again). Also had some notable milestones that need mentioning -

My middle child turned six this week , happy birthday ya big honkin redhead!

My wife won at poker on Saturday, I got drunk, it was a good night.

Please note, the Heineken mini keg is well worth the money!

Wednesday morning marked the seasons first siting of "Fuck Me" boots! This chick wore them well,and was strutting her stuff even in the rain!

Shots were heard outside of my place of employment this morning, the first time I have heard gunfire, woo hoo.

Oh and it rained this week....apparently all the rain we didnt get this summer we got over the last 3 days, forgot how much I hate the way people drive in rain.

Anyone else notice that everyone in America suddenly hates Chad Johnson? I can see hating him and all that, but the broadcasters who have been knobbing him the last few years, turned on a dime and are ripping him. And it is really racist shit as well...calling him Mr Bojangles and the like. I hope CJ gets the hint and at least for a while, he will stop talking to the press, he will play like the all pro he is, catch anything thrown his way. Catch a TD? spike the ball and get to the bench, no more dancing or anything gay like the hall of fame jacket.

That is it for the week so far, going to see the St X game at Nippert friday night with my favorite cousin, going to a wedding Saturday then to see the Bengals play the Steelers on Sunday. Should be a good weekend

So true...

Thursday nite football

The powerhouses Rutgers (wtf?) and South Florida (nickname the Bulls? ok then) are battling it out. It looks to be a pretty good game so far, nine minutes left in the game and Rutgers is up by 3. I was amused to hear halfway through the 3rd quarter, Rutgers had a 3 point lead at the time and were driving, I heard a chant from the end zone of "OVER RATED!!" I am sure everyone has been to a game where the favored team gets beat on and the "OVER RATED!!" chants begin so you know what I am talking about. Chanting "OVER RATED!!" at the end of a game is one thing, up by 3 with the whole game to go still....fucking seriously kids. Look at the clock, remember how many games this college and pro season so far have turned on a dime and left the team that had a good lead holding their cocks at the end.

Thursday 11:00 PM Cant wait to see how this comes out, oh and there is a tornado warning right now and a kick ass thunderstorm going on!!!
rock on,
SRV
Thursday 11:15 PM - apparently it wasnt just a thunderstorm, tornado reported in the area - I of course had to go outside to see what is up- found no wind blowing, no rain, lightening everywhere and the tornado siren going off. The second the siren stops the wind and rain begin...it was a bit freaky.

Thursday 11:33 PM ok now you Rutgers pricks....now is the time to chant OverRated, oh and suck a dick South Florida!! Wonder how far your monkey asses will fall in the rankings!

Friday 11:22 PM What the fuck here...in case no one got it this was written Thursday night during the storm and the game...guess i forgot to hit publish after editing it for the third time

Wasn't this an old SNL Skit with Garrett Morris?

Emphasis mine

Fury at DNA pioneer's theory: Africans are less intelligent than Westerners

Celebrated scientist attacked for race comments: "All our social policies are based on the fact that their intelligence is the same as ours - whereas all the testing says not really"

By Cahal Milmo

Published: 17 October 2007

One of the world's most eminent scientists was embroiled in an extraordinary row last night after he claimed that black people were less intelligent than white people and the idea that "equal powers of reason" were shared across racial groups was a delusion.
James Watson, a Nobel Prize winner for his part in the unravelling of DNA who now runs one of America's leading scientific research institutions, drew widespread condemnation for comments he made ahead of his arrival in Britain today for a speaking tour at venues including the Science Museum in London.
The 79-year-old geneticist reopened the explosive debate about race and science in a newspaper interview in which he said Western policies towards African countries were wrongly based on an assumption that black people were as clever as their white counterparts when "testing" suggested the contrary. He claimed genes responsible for creating differences in human intelligence could be found within a decade.
The newly formed Equality and Human Rights Commission, successor to the Commission for Racial Equality, said it was studying Dr Watson's remarks " in full". Dr Watson told The Sunday Times that he was "inherently gloomy about the prospect of Africa" because "all our social policies are based on the fact that their intelligence is the same as ours – whereas all the testing says not really". He said there was a natural desire that all human beings should be equal but "people who have to deal with black employees find this not true".
His views are also reflected in a book published next week, in which he writes: "There is no firm reason to anticipate that the intellectual capacities of peoples geographically separated in their evolution should prove to have evolved identically. Our wanting to reserve equal powers of reason as some universal heritage of humanity will not be enough to make it so."
The furore echoes the controversy created in the 1990s by The Bell Curve, a book co-authored by the American political scientist Charles Murray, which suggested differences in IQ were genetic and discussed the implications of a racial divide in intelligence. The work was heavily criticised across the world, in particular by leading scientists who described it as a work of " scientific racism".
Dr Watson arrives in Britain today for a speaking tour to publicise his latest book, Avoid Boring People: Lessons from a Life in Science. Among his first engagements is a speech to an audience at the Science Museum organised by the Dana Centre, which held a discussion last night on the history of scientific racism.
Critics of Dr Watson said there should be a robust response to his views across the spheres of politics and science. Keith Vaz, the Labour chairman of the Home Affairs Select Committee, said: "It is sad to see a scientist of such achievement making such baseless, unscientific and extremely offensive comments. I am sure the scientific community will roundly reject what appear to be Dr Watson's personal prejudices.
"These comments serve as a reminder of the attitudes which can still exists at the highest professional levels."
The American scientist earned a place in the history of great scientific breakthroughs of the 20th century when he worked at the University of Cambridge in the 1950s and 1960s and formed part of the team which discovered the structure of DNA. He shared the 1962 Nobel Prize for medicine with his British colleague Francis Crick and New Zealand-born Maurice Wilkins.
But despite serving for 50 years as a director of the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory on Long Island, considered a world leader in research into cancer and genetics, Dr Watson has frequently courted controversy with some of his views on politics, sexuality and race. The respected journal Science wrote in 1990: "To many in the scientific community, Watson has long been something of a wild man, and his colleagues tend to hold their collective breath whenever he veers from the script."
In 1997, he told a British newspaper that a woman should have the right to abort her unborn child if tests could determine it would be homosexual. He later insisted he was talking about a "hypothetical" choice which could never be applied. He has also suggested a link between skin colour and sex drive, positing the theory that black people have higher libidos, and argued in favour of genetic screening and engineering on the basis that " stupidity" could one day be cured. He has claimed that beauty could be genetically manufactured, saying: "People say it would be terrible if we made all girls pretty. I think it would great."
The Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory said yesterday that Dr Watson could not be contacted to comment on his remarks.
Steven Rose, a professor of biological sciences at the Open University and a founder member of the Society for Social Responsibility in Science, said: " This is Watson at his most scandalous. He has said similar things about women before but I have never heard him get into this racist terrain. If he knew the literature in the subject he would know he was out of his depth scientifically, quite apart from socially and politically."
Anti-racism campaigners called for Dr Watson's remarks to be looked at in the context of racial hatred laws. A spokesman for the 1990 Trust, a black human rights group, said: "It is astonishing that a man of such distinction should make comments that seem to perpetuate racism in this way. It amounts to fuelling bigotry and we would like it to be looked at for grounds of legal complaint."


I kind of think he makes a lot of good points, regardless of who doesn't want to hear them! Don't look at anything he presented as possibly being true, just call him a racist and move on, that way no one is offended by the truth.

My thoughts...

A few things that I have been thinking about on this Sunday afternoon :


1) yes the Bengals are as bad as they appear on the field. The offense could play a little better but the defense I dont think could play WORSE if they freakin tried

2)The Dolphins are worse than the Bengals

3)Goetta and eggs is the best breakfast ever.

4)Marvin Lewis will be fired at the end of this season...and if the Bengals are lucky maybe Marty Schottenheimer(sp?) will sign on to coach.

5)Cheerleaders fucking rule!!!

6) Hey did anyone else know the Cowboys are playing the Patriots right now?

7) Yes the Patriots rule, but mother of God, will all sports announcers stop sucking Brady's cock? That guy can do no wrong but jeez, show some impartiality jackasses!


8)I think the Bengals are back to the groove they were in back in the 90's. As a Bengal fan the game against KC, along with the other games this season, have embarrassed me bigger than shit.


9) Melissa Midwest is hotter than balls.



10) Blazing Saddles and Big Lebowski are tied, in my opinion, as the funniest movie of all time.



11) Seeing either a camel toe or hard nipples on a good looking woman is always the bonus of the day!

12) I was at my nephews peewee game Saturday and saw a boy cheerleader. What parent would let a nine year old boy become a fucking cheerleader? WTF?


12) It is good to see that the college football season is as fucked up as the NFL season. I do believe that Ohio State would and will get beat by pretty much any SEC team (Vandy excluded)



that is about it....did I mention that I like boobies?




rock on,

SRV

Is this really an upset?

http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/recap?gameId=272860096&campaign=rss&source=ESPNHeadlines

Kentucky who has been playing suprisingly well this season, ranked #17 in the country knocks off the #1 team. In any other given year I would say that is a huge upset, but after seeing App St win and Stanford win...UK beating LSU is not that big of a deal

Great game, fun ending, no matter how it turns out it is a great ending!!!
rock on,
SRV

Bengal's October (not so much of a) Surprise

Hey I saw that Jonathon Joseph will be watching the game this week from his couch, probably with a big fattie. He's also going to play next week for free! Hope that was some good doobage!

Why does it seem that the lead story on the Bengals website is usually legal news? Why can't we get some upstanding negroes out there instead of recent parolees and convicted felons? Lewis is a pussy for not bringing the wrath of God down on these ignoramuses. Fuck. Hire some white kid to foloow them around 24/7 to tell them when they're about to miss a season for stupidity!

Jeebus I hate this prick

Olberman can take pretty much anything out of context and spin it to fit his story. Good lord, stick with doing that to politicians...they get off on that, but football, the Trent Green story.....give me a freakin break.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2weKmGtemn8

how can you watch this play and think that Johnson did this on purpose? Fuck it,...I am done with it now, just wanted to bitch one more time.

NFL week 5

Quick glance....the Patriots rolled again, Jets lose again, and Detroit lost as well (this marks the second time this short season so far where I have picked the Lions to win and they some how manage to get horribly beat. Come on Kitna....you can wing the freaking ball, get it to that new kid a time or two!!!
And the upside of it all....the Bengals did not lose or get anyone hurt this weekend!! rock on

lets hope those boners can bounce back after the bye and string together a couple of good wins

Hello: I am an Asshole

But you can call me douchebag if ya want. I can take anything you say completely out of context and make it sound like you meant the complete opposite. I worked hard on doing that during the few years I spent at ESPN...remember that? Way back when...yeah, people used to think I was cool then...then I got fired and then decided I should be a news anchor and specialize in ripping on any president named Bush. But anyway, enough about me, just wanted to pop in and say hi.

Oh and to make sure we stay on the cool side...make sure you never say the words "Soldier" and "phony" are not mentioned in the same sentence , otherwise I will give you a 20 minute diatribe about how unpatriotic you are and how you sir should apologize.

just in case no one has seen it yet

NFL week 4 2007

What the fuck happened to all the "good" teams last weekend? Seems the only teams that showed up to play were the hated Patriots and the Cowboys - that kid Romo is the real deal and not sure who the WR named Owens is, but man that kid can catch the ball. If only he would do something creative after scoring a touchdown....that would make so much more liked I think!



I am a Bengal fan due to living in the Cincinnati area, and I jumped on thier bandwagon when they last went to the SuperBowl and I am too stubborn to bail on em. And if you can believe this, I sat through every freakin minute of the Monday night drumming by the freakin Patriots...then again I was away from my wife and kids and having a beer or two with my younger brother, so it was easy to sit through that shitty ass game.



So to end this first post..Marvin Lewis, how come after 5 years your defense is still sucking balls, but your offense can win a shoot out. Be back later on
