I'm starting to build me an Ark


Might as well live in friggin' Seattle, jeez...

That's a real shocker, ain't it? 


What a textbook piece of shit 'Hizzoner' is.

What exactly the fuck are people teaching your children 
and how and why are they doing it?

A New Mexico treasure hunter revealed that his chest of gold, jewels and other valuables worth over $1 million has been found.

Ten years ago, Forrest Fenn gained a cult following when he announced that he had hidden the chest somewhere in the Rocky Mountains. He inspired tens of thousands to set out in search of his treasure, but the prize eluded everyone — until now.

Fenn revealed to the Santa Fe New Mexican on Sunday that a man, who wished to remain anonymous, had discovered the chest a few days ago. The unnamed hunter sent Fenn a photo of the chest to confirm his discovery.

Think they're ALL crazy? 
You may be right...


Minneapolis councilors have voted to abolish the city's police force in an historic move that comes after days of protests over the killing of George Floyd. 

The city council voted with a veto-proof three-quarters majority to begin the process of dismantling the 'toxic' police department on Sunday - overruling the objections of 38-year-old mayor Jacob Frey. While the exact next steps are unclear, plans put forward by community activists in past years call for: funds to be taken from the police department and moved into community services aimed at preventing crime, money would instead go to mental health services, social services, jobs programs, and arts groups, jobs such as traffic stops, overdose call-outs and mental health calls would be taken away from officers. 

A smaller, more-specialized force of 'public servants' would deal with solving violent crimes County sheriffs, whose jurisdiction includes Minneapolis, could be used as a stop-gap police force.The move will likely face legal challenges, including from the city's police union which has so far resisted attempts at reform, and could get tied up for months in red tape. 

Council President Lisa Bender told CNN on Sunday that having no police department will not happen 'in the short term', but said city leaders are committed 'to dismantling policing as we know it in the city of Minneapolis and to rebuild with our community a new model of public safety that actually keeps our community safe.' 

And they probably actually believe this tripe. Fuck me...

My wife bought one for the kitchen and I like it so much I took the Bose radio out to my shop instead. I'd rather listen to this while I'm cooking...


These things really do have incredible sound - 
almost as good as my Bose, and that's sayin' somethin'.

Pubs and restaurants in the UK 'will reopen 
on JUNE 22 to serve customers outdoors'


Boris Johnson is reportedly targeting June 22 as the date when pubs and restaurants could reopen. He is also under pressure to reduce the two metre (6 ft.) social distancing rule

I do wonder myself if there isn't some kinda connection, although my own father was about as upbeat a guy as you'd ever wanna meet and he was well along in Alzheimer's when he died. Interesting hypothesis, no?

And - just in case you had forgotten that the entire fuckin' world has lost it's collective minds - we have this little nugget to share:

Bombs and shit like that are okay with us, but the gun's gotta go...


Elmer Fudd will be stripped of his rifle 
in the new Looney Tunes cartoon series 

It just got a lot harder to hunt wascally wabbits. 

Warner Bros is stripping Elmer Fudd of his rifle in a new Looney Tunes cartoon series on HBO Max, handicapping the grumpy hunter as he continues his decades-long pursuit of the wise-cracking Bugs Bunny, according to reports.

The change in the latest incarnation of the iconic animated series is a response to the gun violence in the US, the Telegraph reported. Historically the toons have largely revolved around Fudd’s persistent chase of the carrot-chomping Bugs, with his classic catchphrase, “What’s up, Doc?”

Fudd, known for his own catchphrase, “Shhh. Be vewy, vewy quiet. I’m hunting wabbits,” gets outsmarted by Bugs at every turn, even though he’s always had his trusty shotgun at his side — until now. “We’re not doing guns,” Peter Browngardt, executive producer of the new series, told the New York Times. “But we can do cartoony violence — TNT, the Acme stuff. All of that was kind of grandfathered in.”

Black Lives Matter protestors in England toppled a bronze statue of a notorious slave trader Sunday and dragged it into the Bristol harbor amid cheers, according to reports. 

The statue of Edward Colston, a prominent 17th Century slave trader, which had stood near Floating Harbor since 1895, was pulled down by protestors with ropes, then plunged into the water as thousands of demonstrators flooded Bristol for the second straight day. 

And you're gonna try and tell the whole fuckin' world isn't going batshit fuckin' nuts from all of the quarantine shit?

A man named Earl Tupper invented
 Tupperware in the 1940’s 


- but the American public simply didn’t like plastic. The Company nearly went under until it took a cue from its leading seller, a woman named Brownie Wise in Miami, Florida. Ms. Wise and her mother had pioneered the idea of Patio Parties, which quickly caught on and became the now-famous Tupperware parties. 


The company behind Tupperware held annual jubilees for its salespeople, and this photo, courtesy of the National Museum of American History, shows when the strategy changed. Parties are the answer.

  1. MN to abolish police. Yeah right. Then they will scream where were the police when murders, rapes, crimes against children sky rocket. Every drug dealer and gang banger are already planning their move out there. Good luck let me know how it works out for 'ya.

  2. That Archie comic? Changing the world is easier if you get the kids... even easier if you can ignore history.
    Don't forget that Woodstock happened in the middle of the 1968 pandemic, a million dead world wide, and 100k dead here in the USA (our population was just 200m then...)
