You are not the center of the universe. You live on a speck sitting on a mote of dust on a grain of sand on the Ipanema Beach that is the universe.
This wouldn’t be complete without showing the source of my analogy.

Howzabout “pull-up-a-chair-worthy” a la Seinfeld-speak. 🙂
Ironically, an exception to the Obama administration’s quest for One Nation Under Massachusetts is Massachusetts. There, citizens didn’t get to determine whether their state awarded recognition to homosexual marriages either. So it’s fitting that in ignoring the will of the people as expressed through their elected representatives on a national level, the Obama administration has used Massachusetts, where a plurality… Read more »
Oops;
My #71 referred to Super Dave’s #6.
The magazine said in its testing in Connecticut during a harsh winter, its Volt is getting 25 to 27 miles on electric power alone. GM spokesman Greg Martin noted that it’s been an extremely harsh winter — and as a Volt driver he said he’s getting 29-33 miles on electric range. But he noted that in more moderate recent weather,… Read more »
OK Under the heading of NO ONE HERE GIVES A S#!t Has this idiot lost his mind? Did he ever have one? Charlie Sheen’s publicist ‘respectfully’ resigns after latest round of actor’s media outbursts.
What a DAYAAM loser! Like my Grandmother used to say “You can’t buy Class”
Super Dave;
Don’t mind a bit. That really was a good article.
In terms of humility, I like these videos that show us as a spec in the universe. But the fact that we are but specs of dust awes me more. We, the human race are the children of a living and omnipotent God. We have free will and when we use it to disobey God’s will, we are lower than… Read more »
#65 Tim, Way to go! Give that young Lady a big hug, pulling that off in THIS market took some doing. 😀
#62 Tedtam Yup! Been thar done that! Waay back when,…BC, (before children) we used to go camping up to Lake Livingston about 2/3 times a month. I had a little 16′ Glastron with a box stock 115 Merc that would do 62 MPH with a jack plate and a 26″ high rake prop. But I usually spun a 21″ for… Read more »

George Will may be on to something. Added benefit for the libs, no talk radio on the trains. 😀
#52 Simple
“these guys” ?
Must have been a very interesting brothel down there.
The Venezuelan brothels I observed were usually full of girls or at least they looked like girls, anyway.
#60 Simple Many years ago, Hubby and I stayed at his family’s cabin not too far from Austin. There was no plumbing, it was late February or early March, and I was desperate for some sort of bathing. Hubby took me out behind the cabin, gave me a bucket, some water, a washcloth, and pulled up a chair. MEN! Of… Read more »
Sounds like the average camping trip with my fambly
56 Sarge,
I spent two weeks in a remote oil camp on the Orinoco Basin. I had to “hot-sheet” share a hammock. We ate grilled chicken, beans, and rice for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The bathing facilities was a community bucket.

#58 🙂 I admire your efficiency, as well as your past Wang skills.
Two gay bears wearing clown suits singing show tunes in bed, cutting their teeth on a Wang
#56 Funny, and a good effort (keep it up!) But the couch is still placing fourth or fifth on that phrase. It’s a solid #1 with two gay bears wearing clown suits singing show tunes.
Is that anything like cutting your teeth on a Wang?
#54 Sarge
By parsing the sentence like the media does, Simple has made a confession:
😉
He can prove that.
Its worded exactly that way on his compnay expense report.
Thats his story and he’s sticking to it.
#51 Texakanukian: Social Security was supposed to be voluntary, and it was for a while. The ss# was not to be used for identification and now it is. I have been forced to pay into a “voluntary” system with the promise that I will receive benefits in my older years and that has been a lie all along. Social Security… Read more »
45 Dave, While I am sure that Edward Kennedy rented out the brothel for the ususal reasons..I have done the same thing myself in couple of the more backwater places in South America. Brothels sometimes offer better living conditions and be closer to the work site. I rented a room in a brothel for over a month in Venezuelia. The… Read more »
Here is a question I have that popped up over the weekend. Obama care has been declared unconstitutional because it forces people to buy health insurance. How is that diffferent from medicare that you are forced to purchase at 65? I got my statement from the government that comes periodically and there was a reminder that I had to sign… Read more »
Try to be strong Sarge, you can always cheer for Luxenburg. 🙂
OH NO!
My life will be irretrievably and irrepairable damaged if the Iranians don’t show up for the Olympics.
How stupid is this. Iran opposes the 2012 olympic logo because it is racist, this is after all the bs the Imadinnerjacket has crapped out about Isreal. The irony is too great. TEHRAN, Iran – Iran objects to the logo for the 2012 London Olympics, contending it is racist because it resembles the word “Zion” and warning of a possible… Read more »
#43 Tedtam, that has always been a pretty big “IF” and it’s been getting bigger for a long time.
It’s a perfectly sound theory, but I’m skeptical of the likelihood of effective application in the real world, especially in a world where people have free will.
Late??? Hell yes he’s late, in fact he will never even show up for anything again. Unfortunately for him he will always be on time when his a$$ gets roasted again and again in the really warm, unfriendly place.
Why does this not surprise me; Late U.S. Senator Edward ‘Ted’ Kennedy ‘rented out a Chilean brothel for the entire night’, claimed FBI files.

Garfield S’plains the oil crisis A lot of folks can’t understand how we came to have an oil shortage here in our country. ~~~ Well, there’s a very simple answer. ~~~ Nobody bothered to check the oil. ~~~ We just didn’t know we were getting low. ~~~ The reason for that is purely geographical. ~~~ Our OIL is located in:… Read more »
#42 Texanadian All the more reason to support the Christian values of sex within marriage only. I noticed a guy commenting that he won’t donate sperm for the same reason – being on the hook for paternity payments. That leans toward support of the Catholic view on conception as well. If people would just keep it in their pants, except… Read more »

Barf Kitty is sitting in the window, meowing.
heh heh heh
You left out barfing.
BK is still meowing at the window, but retreating to her heating pad. I suspect that she’ll be a little ticked off for some time yet. I’m enjoying this. It’s good that she gets a little exercise. The cat sleeps about 20 hours a day, and the remaining four are spent eating, pooping, trying to trip me, or crawling under… Read more »
Pounce made. Squirrel gone. BK all agitated now. I’m glad there was glass between them. I don’t need to be fighting BK for a squirrel carcass, nor cleaning it up later. Even worse if I had wrangled a live but injured tree rat out of her mouth, quite likely getting squirrel bit and cat scratched in the process. BK is… Read more »
Oh, this ought to be fun. There’s a squirrel on the windowsill, and Barf Kitty is all in stalking mode.
“you are not the center of the universe”
Would you please call my step daughter and inform her of these words of wisdom?
What I’m NOT having for lunch today…

Yep, and we have floor drains that need the same TLC. They sure come in handy. That cup of water every now and then is small price to pay for not having to mop up water and to protect our house from being flooded by an indoor water leak.
I wonder if John Cryer can SUE Charlie Sheen for being such a total butthead.
Dang. My brain was running ahead of my fingers again.
Just a heads up to my friends – lots of people, run some extra water. Also, if you have floor drains or a “guest” bathroom that is seldom used, the water in the trap will evaporate, allowing sewer gas into the room. Pretty bad aroma, it is. Run some water through all sinks, tubs showers, etc ’bout once a month… Read more »
