And so, 2016 lurches towards its conclusion, a rough beast, its hour finished at last, slouching towards Bethlehem to be killed. I, for one, won't miss it, although January 20 means no more of these:
Other than that, I think Curly Bill said it best:
Inanimate Objects With Arms Drawn On Them!
These are always popular, and I find them funny as hell.
Now, I find the hand drawn ones the best, you can see a lot more of them here, but I suppose it was inevitable that Madison Avenue would take the concept and run with it, here's a commercial for ASUS.
It loses some of the innocent charm in the CGI, I think.
WARNING! These next two links go to columns written by Kevin Williamson. I share the popular opinion that he is an arsehole. But he is a talented writer, and these two Christmas columns are beautiful. If you had asked me, I would have said that he was an atheist. I thought I remember him saying something like that before, but these don't seem to me like something an atheist would write.
Justice Don Willett is on Trump's list of possible Supreme Court Justices. The day after the election, I was walking around singing (to the tune of “Kidnap the Sandy Claws” from The Nightmare Before Christmas) “Nom-inate Don Willett, put him on the Court. Leave him there for 40 years, fixing all the torts”. Too bad there were no libs around, their heads would have exploded.
War Takes a Holiday: World War I’s Christmas Truce . A lot of people were talking about this in my Twitter timeline, and they seemed to have never heard of the informal truce. I was surprised, I thought it general knowledge.
“No, no. It's just that nobody has ever tried TRUE Communism!” How many times have you heard that from idiots? I really wish I could blink like Jeannie and send them all to North Korea, so they could get what they so fervently desire. In their honor, I'm wearing my Che shirt as I write this.
it always pays to rouse what is evil in the human heart. Yet Marx has done more: he has decked out the resentment of the common man with the nimbus of science, and has thus made it attractive to those who live on a higher intellectual and ethical plane. Every socialist movement has borrowed in this respect from Marx, adapting the doctrine slightly for its special needs.
I used to think you were a bimbo. I used to think you flaunted your big boobs, teased hair, tiny waist, and your syrupy-sweet southern accent to sell yourself and your brand as a country singer. Granted, I was raised in the Midwest and lived as an adult for many years in the Northeast. I didn’t get you, much less the South.
I am not allowed to tempt someone into a straight jacket to see if they can get out while they are logged onto a command pc, and then write love emails on their account to other sailors while they frantically try to turn off the computer by kicking it.
The sound of the Phalanx anti-missile defense system going off is not just a way to alert the crew that the ship is about to sink.
Sponge Bob Square Pants is not a proper cadence for marching
Not allowed to exchange my M16 for a Pistol, “Because it’ll be more fun.”
Not allowed to Exchange my M16 for a shotgun, “Because all the cool kids have one.”
Not allowed to exchange my M16 for a Sub-Machine Gun.
Ok, I can, but only if I can find one for the commander too.
One Upsmanship
Remember the kangaroo puncher? (He just won The Free Beacon's Man of the Year, BTW) Canada says “Hold my beer”
