Yet another collection of random links and rantings of a greying unix geek with a photography bent. Pass the Guinness and Grecian Formula.

A on-again, off-again favorite site of mine has surrendered to political correctness bullshit. They used to be known as “The Daily WTF” aka “The Daily What-The-Fuck!?”.

Today I get there and see that yesterday they rebranded WTF as meaning “Worst then Failure” and moved to a new domain of the same name.

Now THAT is a WTF in and of itself.

Another source for endless amusement. Hmm, wonder if we could start a similar quote site for overheardincowtown.ab.ca ? It’d have a more redneck flavour, but what the heck.

Nobody in New York Knows the Difference between At-Home and Outside Conversations

Yuppie kid: Mommy shaves her hoo-hoo!
Yuppie dad: Okay, honey. Look, do you want your book?
Yuppie kid: I came in the bathroom this morning and asked Mommy what she was doing and she said shaving her hoo-hoo. Mommy shaves her hoo-hoo!
Yuppie dad: Dylan, remember when we discussed at-home conversations and outside conversations?
Yuppie kid: Yes.
Yuppie dad: Well, this is an at-home conversation.
Yuppie kid: Okay, daddy. [Sings to herself quietly] Mommmyyy shaves her hoo-hooo…
Black lady: See, home conversating, outside conversating — that’s bullshit. My kid says shit like that, I smack him. He won’t say shit like that again.
Yuppie dad: Okay, thank you, but I think our method works just fine.
Yuppie kid: Lady, do you shave your hoo-hoo?
Black lady: Oh, yeah, that shit is workin’ just fine. She’s all kinds of polite.
Yuppie dad: Okay, Dylan, this is our stop.

11AM Only the Office Fix-a-Flat Kit Kept Her from Deflating

Woman #1 sneezes, then looks terrified.
Woman #2: Are you alright?
Woman #1: I think I just blew out my tampon.

Darwin, Smarwin. Reader Comment WTF

Friday, February 23rd, 2007

I was perusing the Darwin Awards site and found an honerable mention "Scrotum Self Repair"

Now the story in itself is amazing, but I’m also dumbstruck by the reader comment at the end. Someone actually thinks that the left testicle is solely responsible for sperm production !? Now that’s a real WTF in and of itself!

Thanks go to Ralph for finding this one. It’s been sitting in my inbox since Nov 20. Yes, I am lame

Better with Blue Man Group …

or Nine Inch Nails

Jazz is even interesting. But I hate brass…

Yet another one. Oh YES you really REALLY want to have propane burning like this INDOORS in an enclosed APARTMENT! Bet your landlord loves you… Ok, it looks like at the beginning that a window was being opened. Look closely, it appears to open from the top down. Propane is heavier than air. Darwin candidate?
