Dumber and Dumbest?



What the fuck face is he making here?

 It's like a combination of post-head trauma, 
severe intestinal distress and Bell's Palsy.

And that's putting it nicely.




I guess it depends on the content

This is what happened when you ask the public for help...

From The Guardian newspaper...

Ships can bear the names of former presidents, war heroes, long-lost loves, or clever puns. However, the U.K. public appears to have taken a different tact when it comes the naming of a new polar vessel from the National Environment Research Council.

The NERC announced the online voting contest to name the nearly $300 million boat to be launched in 2019 recently, and the leading vote-getter so far is the simple but silly "Boaty McBoatface."

The 128-yard-long, 15,000-ton ship is described by the NERC as a "new polar research vessel which will deliver world-leading capability for UK research in both Antarctica and the Arctic."

The Irish Examiner reports some of the other popular name suggestions are "RRS Usain Boat, RRS Ice Ice Baby and RRS Boatimus Prime."

The hashtag "#boatymcboatface" was trending on Sunday morning, and the NERC said the sudden high interest in naming their boat has caused the voting website to sink.

Just for shits and giggle her are some of the others currently in the running...

The Pole Challenger - which sounds like a porn star's nickname.

Queen of the Poles - see above

The Flying Penguin - which shows a lack of understanding about penguin capability.

Kaleidoscopic Scrutineer - ummmm, ok.

The Artiste Strikes Again




So let's examine this fine piece of art. 

It's almost so easy to translate that it's doing the work for you..it's all there, so transparent, so obvious...

Cleary it represents man's constant inability to find his place in the cosmos, his quest to move forward, his drive to escape his woeful boundaries and to accelerate into the infinite vastness of the universe.

Mankind...here represented by me (Daddy) is fueling up, so to speak, taking in the very rare and necessary elements (Sriracha) he needs to begin his expedition to the stars.

The figure shouts out to the uncaring void (It Burns So Much!), his exhortation speaks to the very real fear that he is too small, far too beneath God to be worthy of examination or reward. The life unfulfilled.

The actual journey... the advancement into this unknown and always ominous future here depicted by the moist, hot burning jets of fire rushing to escape the figure's (one would assume) clenched ass.

Much as mankind is rushing to escape a boring and unrewarding "end" upon this very earth.

Pure unadulterated genius.





That is pretty hardcore...

Hardcore Henry was released today, an entire action/sci fi hybrid that is filmed from the point of view of a non-speaking, hyper violent character who appears to be wearing the camera. I came across the first review of it today and I though it summed up the film brilliantly...

Hardcore Henry Review…
Stephen Whitty, NY Daily News

You could go see "Hardcore Henry"  — or you could gulp down a pint of vodka, load in "Grand Theft Auto," then strap the TV to your face and throw yourself down the stairs.

It's the same experience, except my way saves you $15 and some pain.



Too much free time, I think...


Many moons ago, I worked at Rockwellgroup in NYC.  In the IT department there was a large metal cabinet for hardware etc. There was a handful of magnetic letters on it but never enough to spell anything of consequence so it just looked silly.

Until I made it better.

Most mornings I would start before almost anyone else so I could put up whatever comment I wanted...eventually it became a real-world flame war between myself and Michele in Accounting...











Sometimes in life you just don't have enough letters.
