News Briefs 22-10-2015

If my calculations are correct, when this baby hits 88 miles per hour… you’re gonna see some serious news stories…

Quote of the Day:

–“Then tell me, future boy, who’s President of the United States in 1985?”
–“Ronald Reagan.”
–“Ronald Reagan? The actor?? Then who’s vice president? Jerry Lewis?!”

~Excerpt from the film Back to the Future (As if you needed me to write it)

    1. You say potato, I say pozole…
      LOL sorry about that. Hope I didn’t cause you to spit on your coffee and bang on the table screaming “WHATTHEHELL!!”, you cricket fanboy 😛

  1. some serious news shit
    Mars: Humans always gotta fuck up places they go. Maybe that’s how earth started. We were a dead ball of lifeless dust and then an alien planet came to explore us with their rover and got the planet pregnant! One hell of a long Saturday night later here we are!

    Drone pilot: I imagine this is one of those jobs you have to go into already mentally secure with yourself. In other words you have to be a sadist. Reminds me of another job, of how the Wildlife Officers in Alaska working directly under Palin would go out and kill wolf pups right out of their dens by snapping their necks all because the den was on government land. Now of course not every one who works in these jobs is a sadist, but you have to be pretty fucked up to think that killing people, or animals, in such a way is just another day at the office.

    Youngest to be frozen: God damnit RPJ! Why all the feels this early in the morning? I hate hearing about kids that die from cancer T^T

    Gene dog: This is what they will become. What part of this is okay?

    China, you have a smog cloud that can be seen from space. Making your dogs more beefy, so to speak, is not priority one.

    Red pill of the day: Dafuq is that title?! Sounds like Jerry Springer tried to read a teleprompter and vomited half way through! Honestly when I read it I came off with the impression that someone tried to fuck a meerkat.

      1. … on a Thursday Afternoon
        Ménage(rie) à octave mocha-choca-late ya ya marmalade hot bods.

        You are needed at the new Playboy for real.

        … but don’t rush into Ocho Ocho

  2. Drones . . .
    The real problem is mankind’s unshakeable addiction to violence. Nothing gets us higher than killing or maiming hundreds, tens of thousands, millions, or an unarmed minority kid with a disrespect for authority figures. It’s this insatiable blood lust underlying almost every human endeavor that leads to our ceaseless search for better and more efficient ways to kill each other. We can sing Kumbaya, and group hug, and cite any number of uplifting aphorisms, but underneath it all we’re a species of cold blooded killers.

    1. Cold-blooded killers
      I must respectfully disagree. if it was true that deep down violence is part of human nature, there wouldn’t be so many cases of post-traumatic stress disorder in combat veterans. Even in WWII, when American soldiers were facing Japanese enemies coming at them screaming and wielding rifles with bayonets, they ended up shooting way above their heads. It takes quite a bit to desensitize a person to the point in which he has the stomach to take another human life.

      As Chris Ryan says in his podcast Tangentially Speaking, nobody so far has developed PTSD from helping their fellow neighbors and being kind toward strangers 😉

      1. PTSD
        Knowing an Iraqi/Afghanistan war vet with PTSD, his is the result of the constant fear of and experiencing the deaths and maiming of buddies from roadside IEDs, being fired on by seemingly innocent civilians (even kids) in what were supposed to be secured areas, and woundings from friendly fire. He’s in constant fight or flight mode and a lot of seemingly innocuous things in the peacetime, everyday world can set him off and put him in battle mode.

  3. Time slips.
    I’ve only experienced Nelson Mandela die once. In my case it should be called The Jerry Lewis Effect. Because he was the one who awakened me to this phenomena. When I found out many years ago that he was still alive I was literally gobsmacked because I remembered him dying many years before that. Since then it has happened many times over.
