So - has anyone seen Kamala lately? There's a woman who looks sorta like her in some pictures.

 Imagine what's it's like to be VP. Sitting around waiting for your boss to die so you can have the job. Yikes... 

... 

... 

... 

... 

... 


A 78-year-old guy died in Texas after falling down on his front lawn and becoming stuck out in the cold for several hours. 
A homeless guy was found dead on a Houston overpass after he refused to go to a warming center. 
They ain't used to this kinda shit over (down) there. There might be like four or five snowplows in the whole State of Texas.
... 

... 

... 


I gotta admit - it took me a good coupla minutes to get this one. My brain  must be ossifying or something...
... 

That's the first time in my life I've ever used any form of the word 'ossify' in a sentence. I'm pretty goddamned proud of myself for having avoided it for as long as I did. Juss' sayin'...
... 


This guy is kinda annoying at times but he
 does come up with some pretty cool shit.
... 


They're not gonna have to worry about breaking up the Mardi Gras crowds this year. City says there isn't gonna be one. We'll see how that turns out.
... 


Circa 1949. Note that the buyer 
had to stuff the dolls with 
their own rags or cotton.
... 

 
This one's a little personal.
 
 After 50+ years of blade shaving, I finally bought an electric razor - I got this one. For the price, you really gotta think about it for yourself.


For under $ 30.00, this is a good deal:
 
That is not me in the picture, okay?
... 

... 

Then ya got this poor sap.


GOP Rep. Adam Kinzinger's family DISOWNS him for opposing Trump: 11 relatives sign handwritten letter calling him a 'disappointment to God and Lou Dobbs' and a member of the 'devil's army' after he backed impeachment. Kinzinger was accused by his relatives of being in cahoots with 'the devils army (Democrats and the fake news media)' for publicly opposing the then-president, and requesting the 25th Amendment be invoked against him. 'Oh my, what a disappointment you are to me and to God!' the letter, dated January 8, begins. 'We were once so proud of your accomplishments!
... 


I could use this as my everyday ride, couldn't you? 
1958 Cadillac series 62 convertible.
... 

... 

All ya need is a little bit of imagination and 
yer off to the races like this guy.


Robert Samuel, founder of SOLD Inc, waits in line. 
 
Samuel is a "professional line sitter." He waits for anything, from sample sales to Saturday Night Live tickets. Samuel charges $25 for the first hour and $10 for each additional half hour. In one week, he can make up to $1,000.
... 


I found a couple  more of these really kinda bizarre Cannon Towel print ads from during the war. I'm finding it kinda hard to believe they're legit. What do you guys think?
... 


I betcha that's right in keeping 
with the kinda person she was...

This kinda bothers me.  I'm sorta kinda okay with these people voting what they thought for themselves even though the whole idea was ludicrous. Not so much that these asshats voted to impeach him, but the fact that 7 Republicans were willing to cross the line but not one single Democrat voted 'not guilty'.
... 


Thank you very much. say it right
 or shut the fuck up. Juss' sayin'.

Instead of shooting it down, German pilot Franz Stigler escorted a badly damaged US bomber to safety in 1943. The two pilots would met decades later and become friends until death. 
It's a great story - and here's a video that tells the story. Thanks for the heads-up, BadFrog!

... 


This is cool. It's a 1917 Hudson Super-Six racing special. The original is a B&W print but it was colorized by a guy on Fakebook calls himself 'Embued with Hues'. He's the best I've ever seen. here's his page - it's really impressive:
... 


Hey - fuck them, Good for him. I am so sick and friggin' tired of every asshole in the world saying whatever the fuck they want, and then just apologizing for having said anything, like that makes it okay. This guy's got the balls to stand by his convictions - I like that.
... 

You guys know I love my gadgets.
 Here's one I got for the garage. 
I have it on the workbench - 
it even has 4 USB ports for charging.


Get one for yourself here:
... 

Then ya got this ego-maniacal asshole.


Hopefully there's a gigantic shitstorm headin' his way the pompous fuck - 
but I doubt it will happen.
... 


We should get on of these and send it to Biden. The fuckin' guy'll probably spend two days just tryin' to figure out how to work it.
...

This is a 3D model some guy made of what Baghdad looked like in the 8th century. How could a society so advanced 1,200 years ago be so friggin' bass-ackwards in this day and age?
 It's kinda scary, ain't it?
... 

Here's something to think about today 
when ya got nothin' to think about:


... 

... 


Neil Armstrong's family watching their dad fly to the moon from a boat off the coast of Cape Canaveral.
... 

... 
My wife bought this for us back in December.
This little sucker is an actual convection oven and a toaster. Turns out I use it a lot more than I thought I would.

See if this isn't something you should have, too:
