The Ol' Olympic Spirit

Today a Tae Kwon Do ref got kicked in the face by some Cuban assbag in the bronze medal match after the ref DQ'd him. Pics 23 and 24 caputure the scene pretty well.

finally a campaign issue to which we all can relate

mccain aide michael goldfarb thinks it's cool to bash the D&D set:
It may be typical of the pro-Obama Dungeons & Dragons crowd to disparage a fellow countryman's memory of war from the comfort of mom's basement, but most Americans have the humility and gratitude to respect and learn from the memories of men who suffered on behalf of others.
the prick clearly rolled a critical miss on that melee attack. because, sweet jesus, read this thread in its entirety:
what alignment is Barack Obama? Chaotic Awesome?...Looks like McCain's campaign just made its saving throw vs. NerdBloggers...In order to cast the World Racial Healing spell you need to be a 6525th level Cleric...
and so on.

Bus Blog!



Type A workheads unite! Now you may stop losing valuable slogtime while traveling with....Bolt Bus.

The BB allows your average drone (or intrepid campaign nerd) one usable plug in the seatback in front of you....and wifi! That works while you're traveling!

We now officially live in the future.

As a sidebar, BB tickets are between $15-25, while the average Greyhound, which still features live urine, is still between $40-60. The only viable explanation for why the venerable pooch has yet to succumb to it's fleet, cheap, cyber enabled bretheren is that it still far more ubiquitous.

Or could it be that there is a real and viable GH nostalgia market?

cincinnati streetcars

the new york times is reporting on cincinnati's looming vote on the long-planned streetcar system:
Cincinnati officials are assembling financing for a $132 million system that would connect the city’s riverfront stadiums, downtown business district and Uptown neighborhoods, which include six hospitals and the University of Cincinnati, in a six- to eight-mile loop. Depending on the final financing package, fares may be free, 50 cents or $1.

The city plans to pay for the system with existing tax revenue and $30 million in private investment. The plan requires the approval of Mayor Mark Mallory, a proponent, and the City Council.


having played a part in a few transit system cost-benefit analyses myself here at the new jobby job, if they're only planning to charge between $0 and $1 per ticket, this thing must have the potential for some pretty balls-out economic benefits.

chief among them: dudes like me would consider moving back.

scotch crotch, part deux

i must join daniel in protesting the utter lack of attention garnered by his scotch crotch post regarding the website, scotchcrotch.

since that post, the jackblog has been visited by 75 unique hits, only two of whom answered the call: stridewideman, who blackmailed me into linking to his blog and then ceased to blog entirely; and mr. assahola, esq., whose submission lent further credence to the notion that all lawyers are giant, stinking poops. i think we can do better, jackateers.

here is my analysis, which is over the outrageously austere 20-word limit, but under my new and far more reasonable 50-word limit:

deep within the crotch of every Scotsman live two forces: the crow of overwhelming pomposity, and the pigeon of unbridled devotion. these forces enslave the scotch-crotch. as to which force ultimately commands the destiny of the crotch, it is pure chance - a 'gamble' if you will.

i know this because i am half scottish.

dog moms: better than people moms

isabella, a golden retriever mom, is breastfeeding a bunch of fucking tigers she adopted at a kansas zoo.

yes, apparently zoos in kansas include golden retrievers.

to recap, human with orphan:


dog with orphans:


could this explain, if in part, the furry phenomenon?
