In defense of the 1st pig

September 29, 2008

I don’t think that the first little pig that made his house out of straw has been treated fairly. The story makes him seem like a lazy idiot. I think that’s unfair for several reasons.

The pigs have names, by the way – Fifer Pig, Fiddler Pig and Practical Pig. I bet you didn’t know that. See? You learn things here. And if you did already know their names, I bet there’s no way for you to prove it

The first little pig is Fifer.

 

You can tell which one is Practical Pig. His two brothers dress like they’re about to go off to sea. Practical was the only one to remember to put on some pants that morning.      

All three pigs are pretty amazing though - even the two that had their house blown down.       

At the first of the story their mother sends  her three sons off “to seek their fortune”. The vast majority of pigs just spend their lives covered in their own shit. Maybe they befriend a spider, but that’s about all most pigs can expect to get out of life. Then they end up getting slaughtered and have their feet put in a jar of vinegar. The pigs in the story actually have a FORTUNE to seek.
 
These three pigs are clearly alpha-swine.
 
The straw house didn’t last very long. Granted. But it’s not really Fifer Pig’s fault. Maybe he could build his house to withstand earthquakes and floods, but is it fair to expect him to predict ahead of time that it also needs to be built to withstand a wolf blowing on it?   There’s nothing in the building codes about that because  it’s very rare that a wolf tries to do  something like that. I only know of it happening one other time in history. You just cant predict shit like that. That’s what FEMA is for.
And why doesn’t Fifer ever get any credit for managing to actually build his own house? Even if it was made of straw? It’s very remarkable that a pig would be able to do something like that.

 

Pigs don’t know how to read blue prints.
They also have no thumbs. That must add several degrees of difficulty to any construction project . Try building your own house with out thumbs and see how good it looks before you put down his straw house.

Like the Bible says :Let he who is without thumbs kick the first stone

I have special needs

September 28, 2008

Every so often i wonder if I’m retarded or not.

As far as I know I’m not.  But it does seem possible that people may have been keeping that fact from me to spare my feelings.

 Or maybe I’m so retarded that I’m not able to tell that I am retarded.

And what if I am retarded? Is there some phone number I can call to start getting free money from the government? Or free cheese?

 A lot of those guys wear bike helmets all the time. Am I entitled to a free helmet?  Can you request a specific color? I’m not going to wear a pink or yellow helmet even if it is free.

I got some of those home pregnancy tests to see if they could a check for retardation too. The results were inconclusive in regards to retardation, but they did confirm that I’m not pregnant. I didn’t think I was, being male an all, but I guess it’s better to safe that sorry.  Never hurts to double check.

Since the tests couldn’t confirm or deny my retard status I tried to return them to the store to get my money back. But it turns out that Wal-Mart has a policy that you can’t return any merchandise that you’ve already  pissed on.  Not even if you saved the receipt.

I saw this commercial for storm windows and it said they were so energy efficient that they would pay for themselves!

It’s a lie. They don’t pay for themselves. At least the ones as Home Depot don’t. I held up the line for forty-five minutes just watching to see if they were somehow going to pay for themselves, but they never did anything, They just sat there.

According to the manager and security guard NOTHING in the store pays for it’s self.

You learn something new everyday.   Today I learned two things.  1) Storm Windows don’t really pay for themselves and 2) I’m no longer allowed  to shop at the Home Depot

2.7 million years wasted

September 28, 2008

I’m really disappointed with how society has gone so far.

 I mean sure we have invented a polio vaccines and fax machine and stuff like that, but humans have been walking the Earth for 2.7 million years and no one has gotten off their ass and invented pussy flavored gum.

 Polio vaccine is great, but it doesn’t taste anything like pussy. Trust me on this one.

You’d think that they would even  be able to recreate the flavor of specific pussies, like movie stars or famous singers. They could sell the different flavors mixed together in a pack and it would be like a game to try to guess who you got. Each wrapper could have code then you could take it to their web page, enter the number to see who it tastes like. –  Like maybe each of the Olsen twins taste different.

(I don’t know if they  taste different or not -when I wrote them to ask I just got a form letter back. A very  vague and general form letter that didn’t even address any of my questions. )

Now, I know some of you are about to make a little “fish flavored gum” joke. If you think pussy tastes like fish you need to start dating women who bathe once in a while.

Top ten list of celebrities I’d like to punch in the mouth.

September 28, 2008

10 – Bill O’Reilly – I don’t care about his politics but anyone who answers the phone with “what say you?” needs a punch in the mouth.

9- Ronald Regan – He was number three before he died.

8- The Count from Sesame Street – He scared the hell out of me when I little. Now I’m like three times his size and I’d just like him to try that shit now.

7- The guy that hosts “Inside The Actor‘s Studio“

6- Anyone from “The Blue Man Group”.

5- Any Emu. I know emu’s aren’t exactly celebrities, And I know they have beaks instead of mouths, but one of them chipped my windshield, and I wasn’t able to catch him.  Those fuckers are fast

4- Weird Al

3 – Bob Barker – It’s a good idea to tell people to fix their pets but if you insist on telling people to cut their dog’s balls every weekday for twenty years there is something bad wrong with you.

2- Pete Rose – nobody that wealthy should be that ugly.

1-  Garrison Keillior.

just a bill

September 15, 2008

I think that, in general,  the Bill of Rights was a good idea.

Well, I’ve never actually read the thing. But other people have, and they  seem to be impressed with it.

One part I don’t like is the ban on cruel and unusual punishment. I’m against cruel punishment, but I don’t see what’s wrong with unusual punishment.  It would be interesting and it would make Court TV a lot more fun to watch.

You could get sentences like: Vinny “The Snake” Gambino, I find you guilty of racketeering and for the next five years you will not be allowed to put ketchup on any of your food. Then for the next five years after that  everything you eat must be covered in ketchup”.

It would be fun and every bit as much of a deterrent as what we have now.

Short Stuff 28

My mother used to tell us to never make fun of anyone just because they’re different than you. That’s just dumb. The ONLY reason to make fun of anyone is because they’re not like you. If you just made fun of people who are just like you, you might as well be making fun of yourself! Where’s the fun in that?

Some guys just don’t know when to quit. Personally, I’ve found that Thursdays work best for me. That way you can just pick up your last check on Friday and have a three day weekend.

How to be briefly popular : Go into a crowded bar and yell “Free drinks for everybody!”. It only work for a short amount of time because very often the bartender will expect you to pay for all the drinks. I’ll never understand why so many people aren’t able to understand such a straight forward concept as “FREE drinks”

I have a six figure income if you carry the decimal point several places father to the left than is customary.

If I was a midget, Halloween would be my favorite holiday. There would be so many more costume options open to you that normal people could never pull off – . Munchkin, Ewok, Fire Hydrant, Mini-Me…the list goes on and on . And if you forgot about getting a costume you could just go as a midget. Even that would be pretty cool.

I have a very mild form of bulimia. After a big meal I often sneak off my myself and intentionally drool a lot.

I’m working on a script for a new Incredible Hulk movie – in my version instead of Bruce Banner turning into the Hulk whenever he gets angry, he changes whenever he gets horny. It adds a much needed layer of depth to the character. Instead of trying to fight crime, Banner searches all over the country trying to find a girlfriend who won’t freak out whenever he changes. I got the idea from a board game I made a long time ago called “Horny, Horny Hippos”.

Last winter a complete stranger came to the door and asked if they could cut down a pine tree that was in the yard to use for a Christmas tree. It must take a lot of nerve for someone to even ask something like that. I let him do it though. What do I care? I was just house sitting anyway.

When I die I hope people will remember me as a kind person who would always make time to help those less fortunate that myself. I figure my best chance for that happening is if they confuse me with someone else who looked a lot like me.

I got a rental car the last time I went on vacation. They gave me a Ford Escort that over heated on the highway. I never had a rental car break down on me before, so I wasn’t sure who to call about it. Finally I found a place in the phone book called “Tina’s Escort Service”. They never did get the car running, but their customer service more than made up for it. Nobody from AAA will ever be willing to suck you off while you’re waiting for the tow truck to get there. I know, I asked. It even says they won’t on the fine print on the back of the membership card. I think they finally put that on there after I kept asking them about it.

Killer bees are always a big disappointment.. Every year there are news stories about the killer bees coming our way, but they never actually get here. Killer bees are the Great Pumpkin of impending disasters.

Everybody claims that they’re sick of vicious political attack ads, but I don’t mind them. I think they’re kind of fun and interesting. And so far none have ever been directed at me personally. That’s a plus.

 

It’s odd that all the white supremists you see on TV seem very poor. Apparently being the master race doesn’t help your earning potential very much

The odds of the Snuffy Smith comic strip still being in the newspaper is in inverse ratio to the GNP of the town the paper serves

Sleep meds give you very odd dreams – You know how at carnivals they used to have a horse and rider jump off a high dive into a pool of water? Well, last night I dreamed I was in a swimming pool and they kept sending horses in like that on top of me. It’s nice how my subconscious will sometimes create brand new things for me to worry about.

Whenever someone asks me my age I tell them “34 of your Earth years”. I think that saying it like that helps to make me seem exotic and mysterious. Like superman. Or Alf.

You know what would be great? It they made those pajamas with the feet built it for grownups. Even better – what it they just sold pants like that with shoes and socks built right in. It would save you a lot of time, and think of all the money you’d save on shoes, shoelaces, socks and dating.

It bugs me when politicians and people like that call the army “our fighting men and women”. I don’t have any fighting men and women. I wish I did – that would be pretty cool, but I don’t. And if I did have some, I wouldn’t share them.

I can’t wait until my next high school reunion. All those jerks who used to pick on me will sure be shocked when they see me enter the building with a gorgeous woman on my arm. Back then they never would have thought that someone like me would one day have enough money to hire an escort.

I learned two things watching an infomercial last night. 1) Some people are introduced as being “fitness celebrities” I didn’t know it was possible to be so healthy that you’d become famous for it. 2) It’s important to work on your “core”. I had no idea that I even HAD a core. So, I guess that’s three things I learned – if you count both of the “core” things separately

Batman ain’t so great. I have a belt that does more than one thing too. My utility belt has three functions. 1) it hold up my pants. 2) It doubles as a long thin leather strap. 3) It can also be used an emergency suicide machine.

If you’re really nervous about giving a speech to a group of nudists what are you supposed to visualize?

Some people say they consider their pets to be members of the family. I don’t. I think it would be wrong to castrate a family member and make them eat off the floor and shit in a box in the laundry room. If you tried to treat any other family member like that you’d be arrested.

If I could save time in a bottle I’d have more room for other magazines on the coffee table.

I remember in an old comic book I read where the super villain tried to steal the Statue of Liberty. Since then I’ve thought a lot about trying to do that myself. I decided not to though. Even if I could successfully steal it, something that large and famous would be very hard to fence.

I made it a point to set the VCR to record “Comedy Central’s Bob Saget Roast”. That was a waste. The show turned out be just a bunch of his friends making fun of him. Sometimes I think that if you ever want to see a celebrity burned alive you might as well just do it yourself.

Diet

September 14, 2008

I was a chubby kid , but I eventually discovered that if I stopped eating frosting  straight out of the can the pounds would just drop off.

 If you have any portly friends feel free to pass on my dieting tip.

At first I was going to write a diet book about my successful weight loss, but I’ve since decided not to. All I really had to say was “Stop eating frosting  straight out of the can.”

 They can do a lot of good things with fonts and margins these days, but the sentence; “Stop eating frosting  straight out of the can” just isn’t long enough to be a whole book. You could print that on of a business card and still have room for a logo.

I’ve never heard of anyone getting rich selling diet business cards, so I figure that I might as well just give my advice away.
