Driver wants deer crossing signs moved to areas with less traffic

“I wanted to voice my opinion on something that’s been bothering me for a really long time. I tried writing the newspaper and contacting TV stations but nobody seems to want to stick with this so I’m calling you guys. Over the past few years I’ve been involved in three separate car accidents involving deer. Each of these incidents occurred shortly after I saw a deer crossing sign on the highway.”

“Hobbes and Bacon” is a “Calvin and Hobbes” tribute that takes place 26 years later

“Hobbes and Bacon” is a “Calvin and Hobbes” tribute that takes place 26 years later. I had nothing to with creating these cartoons – I am merely posting them here so that you can see them. There are four – and only four – but that’s enough to get the message across. You can see larger versions of the images by clicking twice on each image:

My blog doesn’t have any pictures of eighteen mature beautiful naked women midgets having hot anal and oral sex with goats and donkeys

My blog doesn’t have any pictures of eighteen mature beautiful naked women midgets having hot anal and oral sex with goats and donkeys.

However, I did find this article titled How to Get a Million Hits on Your Blog in Less Than a Year by The Other McCain which says that even if your blog isn’t about sex, you can generate lots of traffic by writing about sex and including sexy pictures.

Now I myself don’t want to post any risque pictures on my blog – but that doesn’t mean I can’t give dirty names to innocent pictures.

The Horribly Slow Murderer with the Extremely Inefficient Weapon (hilarious trailer for a movie that doesn’t actually exist)

The Horribly Slow Murderer with the Extremely Inefficient Weapon is a trailer for a movie that doesn’t actually exist. It’s the trailer itself that is the complete work. It’s ten minutes long, brilliantly hilarious, and violent enough that the fake opening says it’s for Restricted audiences, i.e., if it were an actual movie, it would be rated-R. So it’s definitely not for young children, the squeamish, or anyone else who might be offended by such content. Personally, I loved it.

Casino sues winning gamblers and card manufacturer because casino employees did not shuffle the cards

This casino is suing the card manufacturer, and the players who won lots of money, because the casino’s employees didn’t shuffle the cards, which allowed the players to win 41 times in a row.

This has got to be about the most ridiculous lawsuit that I have ever heard about. Yes, I realize there are quite a few contenders in that contest, but this one is even dumber than the other dumb ones… I think.
