CONGRATULATIONS TO ALYSSA CAMPANELLA FOR WINNING THIS YEAR'S MISS U.S.A. PAGEANT!
June 27, 2011
I can't put my finger on it, but something seems very natural about
her to me. Maybe I'm wrong, but I almost feel like she's the kind of
girl a guy could take camping.
REGARDING THE ROYAL WEDDING
May 2, 2011
I simply have to say that I don’t think it was appropriate for the Duchess of Cambridge to be flashing her tits like that on the balcony of Buckingham Palace!
And to be doing it for some stupid beads!
How low class is that? Doesn’t she know the U.S. is still recovering from Janet Jackson’s tit?
ILEOSTOMIES AND VENUS
April 3, 2010
I learned about ileostomies this weekend.
It's a medical procedure where the end of the small intestine is diverted through a hole in the abdomen.
Here is a photo of an ileostomy I stole from Wikipedia:
What I found especially interesting, is that this procedure goes all the way back to the ancient Greeks and Romans.
Back then, ileostomies were regarded as beautiful.
In fact, almost any depiction you find of Venus, the goddess of love and beauty, includes her ileostomy.
For instance, Venus de Milo, probably the most famous depiction of the goddess, clearly shows her ileostomy:
Botticelli went as far as to include oozing bile in his famous depiction of the Birth of Venus.
I'm amazed that I never noticed the ileostomy in the above painting.
I guarantee, however, now that I've pointed it out to you, it will be the first thing you notice every time you see that painting.
Make sure to point it out to your friends!
One can only speculate why these ancient peoples found ileostomies so attractive.
Of course, what red blooded male is not going to look at an ileostomy and wonder "Can I stick my junk in that?"

THE MARMADUKE MOVIE
May 13, 2010
I was reading the comics in the newspaper yesterday.
After I laughed incessantly for a full five minutes at Marmaduke (he had eaten somebody’s sandwich or some shit or something,
a thought came to me – this story-less one-panel comic really lends itself for a live action movie!
I mean, it’s got everything a successful movie needs... well, it’s got a big dog! And he gets into all sorts of trouble because...
you know... he’s a big dog. And... I guess that’s the main theme of the strip.
So to give a Marmaduke movie a little of that extra pizzazz, maybe they could use some of those
digital effects and shit and make Marmaduke talk! I mean can you imagine? A talking dog!
It’s absurd! It’s genius! I can’t think of any other movie where live action animals talk...
well, except for Babe, Stuart Little, Beverly Hills Chihuahua, Doctor Doolittle, Doctor Doolittle 2,
Doctor Doolittle3. Ok, so there have been a few, but this is Marmaduke and he’s a big dog!
I mean, not Clifford big, but pretty big. But to make this movie a mega-hit, we’ll have to break from the
comic a bit and have Marmaduke do some distinctly un-doglike things. Hey, I got it! He should wear sunglasses and surf!
Yeah that’s the ticket! Hell, and why only have one stupid dog star the movie? Let’s have lots and lots of those
fucking talking animals! Fuck yeah! Let’s put those computers to work! Oh, fuck me... I just had a brilliant idea...
there should be a fucking huge-ass dance number with all the animals! Is anybody getting this? This is going to be so
fucking awesome! I am so fucking coked up right now! Only one last thing – who is going to do the voice of Marmaduke?
I wonder what Owen Wilson is up to.
For your enjoyment, here are a few of my favorite Marmaduke comics:
