I’m seriously disappointed and frankly put little stock in these results. Only 64%? Sheesh! What a crock….
***You Are 64% Cynical***
You’re a full blown cynic… and probably even skeptical of these results.
You have your optimistic moments, but most likely you keep them to yourself.

How Cynical Are You?

First they came for the cat meat eaters and I said nothing….
What next? No more frog legs?
Awe well, what’s it matter since it all tastes like chicken, anyway.

I love short clever quips.. here’s a few I’ve come across in the last few days that made me laugh….
books have knowledge, knowledge is power, power corrupts, corruption is a crime, and crime doesn’t pay..so if you keep reading, you’ll go broke
A train station is where the train stops. A bus station is where the […]

I always miss the good sales.

The New York Times can get rid of Bob Herbert now that they can get Automatic Bob Herbert.  I suspect many of the Time’s writers were replaced with such scripts years ago.

Better check the list of 59 Things Men Should Never Do Past 30.  Personally, I never found any of them problematic though largely because 1/2 the list wasn’t known at the time.  But, even today it wouldnt’ be a problem….
Except maybe for “Compare the trajectory of his life with those of the characters in Billy […]

You know this would all be appropriate if it wasn’t the ATF that nabbed the ninja. Imagine a contingent of agents surrounding a college kid with guns drawn! Why am I consistently detecting fear among law enforcement? Hm.. those concerns would make a good stand alone post later maybe.
Anyway, if the […]

Thankfully I only have racoon and possum problems….

You killed my father. Prepare to die!
Its amazing how often quotes from this movie come up in daily conversation.

What happens after the 12 days of Christmas? Easy! Everything goes up on eBay!

Having had Chinese twice in the last week I found this quite hilarious (don’t follow the link if you don’t want to contemplate whats on your plate).

Ever wondered what a corporate team building retreat would be like if you worked for Al-Aaeda? Well Iowahawk has endeavored to give us some insight. (profanity warning)

It’s OK to shoot them but you’re in big trouble if you paint a Prairie Dog bright orange. A bright orange prairie dog is a dead dog so what’s the difference? Must have been the humiliation when he went back to Dog Town.

I don’t follow Thai politics very closely but any PM who uses buzzer on reporters has to be a hoot to work for. Now if only President Bush would get a buzzer.

In an effort to improve their image the Post Office is attempting to redefine going “postal”. I’d wager if asked the employees of this branch prefer the new defintion while they consider actions to reestablish the original.

Don’t forget your favorite sysadmin on today, System Administrator Appreciation Day.
I expect to see the appreciation showing up in the form of expensive gifts any time now….
Oh gee, I’m sorry, I don’t know what happened to that file you spent all night working on.. no.. I’m sorry but the file was open during […]

Weight Watchers recipe cards, circa 1974. I think we used to have these! Oh wait, that was circa 1982.

This woman is an idiot but what is more idiotic is that she can be charged with possession of a controlled substance (nitrous oxide) when she got that substance out of the Reddi-Whip can! The article then goes on to explain how to get a high off the Reddi-Whip to those who haven’t figured […]

The march is on toward that One World. Who’d have thought it’d extend to slang? The CFR has to be behind this evil, I just know it!

I really don’t like seeing anyone depressed but there is some small satisfaction when it is France suffering the effects
The loss of the 2012 Olympic games to London and the rejection of the European constitution provided two sharp blows to French morale, and high unemployment, a stagnating economy and dissatisfaction with political leaders, particularly President […]

Looks like NASA’s newest program launched successfully.
Strangely I didn’t hear anyone say “hey y’all! Watch this!”

Why Bush Won explained in pictures. All in good fun, of course. Hat tip to JT.

I’m not sure which is worse, that this guy is sitting there at all or that no one is noticing him. Must be New York or L.A….

So I don’t normally post these fun little video clips I run across but this one, Revenge of the Brick, is just too good.

My little redhead friend here wanted me to thank everyone for the attention he is getting. “Redhead Galleries” is currently the Number 1 search engine query (again) and if he weren’t already of a rather ruddy complexion you’d see he’s blushing…
