What's He Over Compensating For?

Okay, I have now officially seen everything. I thought I had before you know, but nope I was wrong.

The other night coming home from class I was behind a red Ford pick up truck at the light. No big deal. Red truck tricked out with the light kit atop the cab, striping and lots of chrome, Tweety looked a little odd on the tailgate but hey maybe the guy has a girlfriend/wife who likes Tweety. But as the light changed and he pulled away I saw it.

The truck had testicles. Big ones.

Yup. Red tennisball sized testicles hanging from the tail hitch. Not just balls in a sack that somebody put together as a joke but authentic-looking testicles. This guy had to have bought these somewhere. They actually sell these things somewhere.

Now I had read that you can have your dog fitted with prosthesis after having him neutered (not that the dog actually cares mind you) but fake balls for your truck??!? Is this the next level of the eternal "mine's bigger than yours" game?

Ya gotta wonder: what is this guy over compensating for?

Is This Because She's A "Girl"?

Oh come on! The folks out there are saying that we need to stop "picking on" Senator Clinton over not admitting that she lost her bid for the nomination and give her more time to wind things down. That she needs a few days to "get her bearings" before we can expect her to concede to Senator Obama. Uh-huh. Poor dear might burst into tears or something eh? Please. If this Senator from New York were male no one would be saying that he needed a few days. They would be rightly annoyed that in the speech last night there was no concession. No acknowledgement that the good fight had been fought but the better candidate won. Nope. If a male candidate needed to get his "bearings" it would cast all sorts of aspersions on his manhood. You can not have it both ways people. You can't claim sexism when folks expect the candidate to act like a candidate and not a "girl" and then want a free pass to act like a girl once she has lost. You don't want sexis...

I Just Do Not Understand... Maybe I Shouldn't

I may be repeating myself but it bears repeating... We've all seen the news reports. Black persons dying in custody or being shot or injured by police officers. The Black Lives Matter movement ( #BlackLivesMatter ) interrupting political rallies or matching in the streets. The response of All Lives Matter only serving to upset those trying to make a point with Black Lives Matter. I am appalled by what I am seeing, horrified even. But the really unnerving thing is: I really do not understand. I do not understand why after all this time, this nation is still struggling with and denying racial prejudice. Why can't we move beyond this stupid - apparently ingrained - dislike/hatred/fear of anyone who looks/acts/believes differently than "we" do? Toddlers do not come with built-in hate of someone with a different skin color. They seem fascinated by it at first then rapidly get over it and move to playing and giggling. They roughest thing they get into is that-t...

Fun Business Terms

Recently our local paper had a funny bit on new business terms. Apparently the writer had spent some time online and came across some great new words. Of course he had the time to spend online while at work because he is also the paper's editor. Be that as it may - and it does conjure up some interesting arguments over why the boss gets to surf while at work and the staff doesn't these are pretty darned good. To whit: Blamestorming - a meeting to discuss failures and find a scapegoat Assmosia - the apparent absorption of success that comes from sucking up (aka kissing a**) Deja moo - (my personal favorite) the feeling that you've heard this bunch of bull before Mouse potato - a close cousin to the coach potato this is a person who spends hours and hours in front of a computer Percussive maintenance - the common practice of 'fixing' something by banging on it repeatedly Photox - improving the look of one's face in a photo through the use of graphic software Dope-...
