... but I can't.




Found it in some message board that was linking to the Cowbell More poster, which I guess has such wide appeal because it's like a frakkin meme sandwhich. A meme of a meme of a meme. It's so packed full of meme-meme-ity-goodness, even Richard Dawkins would be stupefied.

Let this go on record. According to my hotlinking stats, that image is by far the most popular piece of artwork posted on this site to date and it was created using an online-poster-maker-generator.

*sad trombone plays here*

I still think it's funny. Glad they do too!

The sign reads:
Welcome to Circle Drive
Neighborhood Association
Working together for a Better Neighborhood
Mayor Don Williamson

This sign was posted in a quaint grassy field in a quiet little neighborhood on Flint's south side. Go ahead and do a search for the triangle patch of grass between Circle, Dell and Omega on this here Murder Map to get an idea of where it's at in proximity to all the craziness going on. That is one of two signs in the local vicinity, which seems to raise a good question. Where are the rest of the Don's happy little neighborhood signs?

Historical Anatomies on the Web is a neat reference site that gives Internet users access to some very impressive high quality images from important anatomical atlases. The project emphasizes only the images from the collection, not the entire books. Many of them are quite beautiful.

Kawaiiiiiiii! I think I've seen every episode and clip available on YouTube over the weekend...

Williamson, in his abundance of insight and knowledge, tried to assure the citizens of Flint that the wise thing to do for our budget was shut down the city jail (the same jail he claimed would be "open forever"). How can we layoff yet more policemen in light of the recent burst in crime? But hey, at least we have newly paved roads, right?

Thanks Don the Con.

This evening, Michael and I went to the meeting initiating the recall of Mayor Don Williamson a.k.a. The Con. I do believe there is hope yet for the city of Flint. The people here do care and want things to turn in another direction. Please stop this asshole before he attempts to run an embarrassing campaign for governor in 2010 and humiliates us even more than Michael Moore did in the 80's.

We couldn't ask for a worse mayor, and yet somehow, he was re-elected, winning by a mere 500-something votes in 2007...

Oh yeah, there's ----->   more »

Why does PBwiki do this? Sometimes it's on every image on my page too. Half the time the images don't show up at all, and when they do, half the time they have this silly stamp on them.

Anyone have an answer or a guess?

Happy Left-Hander's Day! I'm a lefty, my father is a lefty, and so is my grandfather. I kinda hoped one of my daughters would be left-handed also, but as it turns out, there was only a 20% chance of that happening since their dad is right-handed. Neither of them are southpaws. Hey, did you know know that the term southpaw comes from baseball? Yeah, evidently, parks were often built with the homeplate in the western corner of the field so when a left-handed pitcher was facing the batter, his throwing arm would be closest to the south.

Some other interesting factoids about us lefties:

• Left-handed people make up 10% of the population.


• Men are more likely to be left-handed than women.


• Stuttering and dyslexia occur more often in left-handers (I can personally attest to this).


• It is against the rules to play polo left-handed.


• The Latin word for right is dexter (as in dexterity) and their word for left is sinister. The Romans invented the right-handed handshake.


• Four of the five designers of the Macintosh were left-handed.


• Left-handed people as a group have historically produced an above-average quota of high achievers because of their widened range of abilities and creativity.


• Studies show that left-handed men are 15 percent richer than right-handed men for those who attended college, and 26 percent richer if they graduated. The wage difference does not appear to apply to women (I can attest to that one also).
