Stuff that makes me laugh
Oh good grief.
So on we go, with a little humor to brighten the day:
(Thanks to Reader OldTexan for the pic)
And now that it’s all over, a couple of ideas for next year:
And speaking of red meat, it seems that the pics of young Miss Rafferty a few days back have sparked some interest among my Readers, so:
Now get outta here and hit those books.
New Wife thought that last week’s pic was kinda feeble, so let’s do one a little ummm… closer to the bone, so to speak:
Your close-to-the-bone suggestions in Comments…
From Clive James:
“I still haven’t forgiven CS Lewis for going on all those long walks with JRR Tolkien and failing to strangle him, thus to save us from hundreds of pages dripping with the wizardly wisdom of Gandalf and from the kind of movie in which Orlando Bloom defiantly flexes his delicate jaw at thousands of computer-generated orcs. In fact it would have been ever better if CS Lewis and JRR Tolkien could have strangled each other, so that we could also have been saved from the Chronicles of Narnia.”
Amen to all that.
From Diogenes:
“It was especially enlightening to later hear a panel of four millennial black women, three of whom graduated from Ivy League schools, the fourth from USC, drone on about inequality and rampant racism in our collective capitalist system, full of white supremacy.”
Read the rest. It’s about CNN.
Yep, Monday is Sisyphus Day, a.k.a. getting-back-to-work-day:
So to help get yer minds off that boulder:
And because I started this post with a classical allusion, here’s a classic broad from the 1930s, French actress Lili Damita:

…of all the stupid shit out there that isn’t worth a post of its own.
1) NRO advancing space technology, developing tactics to defend satellites — that would be the first time that National Review Online has done anything worth a damn. [/snark]
2) Emma Thompson foresees us eating our pets — to quote Truman Capote: “Actors are stupid.”
3) Brennt Paris? — quick, spot the picture where one of the protesters has borrowed a disguise from a 2020 Democrat presidential candidate. (Spoiler follows)
4) Student jailed for saying what the rest of us think — and yet, Muslims can say that Israel (and by definition, all Israelis) should be obliterated, without penalty.
5) Employers hate us — but they’ll take our money as customers, of course.
6) Charlize Theron can’t act — see #2 above.
7) Britain sees positive side of gun control: here, here, here and especially here — and that’s just over the past 12 hours. (Hint: one of those isn’t really a shootworthy thing, but it should be.)
8) Show yer bum for charity — oh, why not?
9) America’s love affair with guns is only getting stronger — take that, Beto you has-been loser.
10) Headline of the year — who would have thought that this was illegal in Britain?
Bonus points if you can identify the source of #3’s headline.
