What Made You Do A Facepalm Today??

The fake ass website perpetrating the hoax of a "Popeye" remake-

with Will Smiff in the title role.  I think I threw up in my mouth a little.

Dana Bash and Jake Tapper need to be fired ASAP.

I get a monthly magazine in the mail from AARP with a few good articles and a lot of shite.

 Haven't opened it up yet, but I fear it's the latter-the slug in the cover photo is Jon Bon Jovi

That story is real but the people pictured aren't the teachers involved. Why not use actual pictures?

So, Neil Gaiman is a creep as well?

Not a fan of the new Paramount font since Skydance is about to buy them.  Getting rid of the classic cursive on the mountain logo is flat out blasphemy.

My ladder and roof gave me a strong reminder that I am no longer 30 years old and fearless.

 

It was unnerving getting onto the roof, but getting back on the ladder to come down was horrible.

Glad you made it. 

A bungy cord to secure it to the gutter helps a lot.

I nailed some scrap lumber onto the shingles on each side of the ladder.  I also secured the ladder's feet with four big concrete blocks.  Even with all that, my fear of heights messed with me, but I persevered!

Hulk Hogan believes the Camacho scene for Idiocracy is a "how to", not a dystopian satire that is disturbingly true.

Kid Rock is embarrasing, lip synching, and still having profane lyrics removed from broadcast.

The look on Mrs Vance's face is priceless.   Yes maam, a lot of us feel that way. Sorry you got dragged into the circus.

And on the other end of the spectrum....I hate this sappy 'proud to be an american" song.  UGH.

An environmentally conscious and awesome French rock band is labeled Satanic because they're not safe sounding watered down pop or butt rock.  Satanic Panic pearl clutchers need to get a life regarding this and Marie Antoinette.

Have they not read history, listened to track 1 of CoS or heard of that Sofia Coppola movie?  Don't be like Ted.

Those same people thought a performance featuring a person portraying Dionysius was mocking the Last Supper. How do people get so stupid?

Two news stories this week left me shaking my head. The first one was a guy had surgery on his head and part of his skull was removed. When they went to put it back on they couldn't find it (the hospital said it couldn't be "identified") so they made a prosthetic piece, and then charged him $19,000 for it.

 

The second story was a woman was charged about $15,000 when she broke her lease but she only did so, because she died. Thankfully the apartment complex owners decided to be better people (probably only because of the negative publicity) and decided the family didn't owe that.

f**k me, they are ugly.  The stainless ones look like someone smooshed a fridge.   The black ones look like a heap of black lacquer furniture from the 80's.

Surprise, surprise!  Sorry DirecTv customers, our contract with Disney is expired so guess what?  You lose all ESPN network channels!  Enjoy while we negotiate and prepare for higher Sat TV prices.  Bohica!

2,800 pagers exploded in Lebanon.  
 

Pagers that were apparently being used by members of Hezbollah.  

 

Truth is definitely stranger - and sicker - than fiction…..

People still believing that cats are being eaten despite people admitting they made up the story and others admitting they lied about it.

 It's been stressful since Friday.  My sister lives in the St. Pete Beach area in Florida, and was flooded out by the storm surge Thursday night.  She lived in a first floor apartment about a block from a little bay inlet and it rose fast and about 4 feet high into her home.  She literally lost everything except a few dishes as her car was flooded out too. Luckily she and her neighbors are physically fine, but its been a lot of trying to find resources, etc.

 

She and a few neighbors are in an an Air bnb for a few days and she already found another apartment, yay!   It took a lot of resources when her husband passed from cancer a few years ago though, and so I had to explain all this to my elderly mom and tell her we needed her help to all pitch in so my sis could put a deposit down on an apartment that like 15 other people want right now.  Face palm to myself as I should have had a bit more patience with my mom. However, 30 minutes of "I really feel safer sending a check" (mom) vs. "There is literally nowhere to send the check to right now" (me)  I spent another 10 minutes trying to explain Venmo and then just gave up and said, " Write me the check and I can email her the money."  "Well, why didn't you say that, that is amazing! Lets do it!"  Yay mom, I'm  just not a good explainer!  I should have said that first!  Apartment ready to move into Saturday!     Life's often interesting around here.
