All, not so much a guest post today as it is me sharing with you some items The Shadow has recently brought to my attention: If you rearrange the letters in "Mother in Law," you get "Woman Hitler." Terrific article title: "Lawyers for Noah’s Ark Theme Park are Suing its Insurance Company for Rain Damage"... Continue Reading →
Song of the Day (5/30/2019)
Good fuckin' morning to ya! Today's song of the day is a little older (from 1990) but makes for some great listening. It's Meet In The Middle by Diamond Rio. I know I've posted on this subject before but I love the concept. According to legitimate-source, #REALnews Wikipedia, "rolling coal" is the practice of modifying... Continue Reading →
Article: Differences Between Superchargers And Turbochargers
As y'all (how'd that word choice go over? Not cute or clever? Noted.) know, I have a varied base of interests ranging from Ronald Reagan to John Wayne.

Random Bidtits (4/25/2019)
I write to you today from the increasingly familiar confines of my workplace shitchair. I've been wrestling this snake to the ground for a long time now and I'm hearing people return for the morning's second round, effectively lapping your strained author. No matter as I'm preocupado, furiously clenching my door frame, crushing peas into... Continue Reading →
Car of the Day: Ford Tonka Truck
I'm guessing my American readers will recognize the name immediately - these are the die-cast vehicles we used to push around and play with as children and sometimes adults. Who doesn't miss beating the shit out of these things in the backyard while doing odd jobs like hauling dirt or transporting lesser toys? Well, now... Continue Reading →

Arch Stanton Guest Post: Episode 26 in Today I Learned – First Flying Car
I bet you're one of those people who whines about how "I was promised flying cars in the future, yet all I have are square watermelons and multiple types of bottled water," which would make you WRONG because the flying car has been invented already! You have a visual in your head of what a... Continue Reading →

Devotees will recall that we ran a post titled "Random Bidtits (11/6/2018)" on November 6th, 2018. In that post, there was a young xe who we claimed had changed its name to Dean Economos in its pursuit of landing a career as a Dean of an Economics Department. The idea being that you need to...
