Jeudi Gras

Since Mare liked Jam’s “Foods of New Orleans” post I thought I’d keep the party going with lots more dishes filled with fat. Even better, everyone sounds like they’re fasting or at least thinking about fasting so why not a little torture?

Tuesday Gras – that’s french for Vomit

OY!!

Revelers and debauched scoundrels, tis that time of the year again!

Simple + Machine = Simple Machine

I remember reading about simple machines back in elementary school. Probably read it in an encyclopedia one day. Yeah, pre-internet, pre-video games we lived a boring life. Our parents bought the World Book Encyclopedia and we actually used it since going to the library was a pain in the ass when you didn’t have a car. Or driver’s license for that matter. This quote always puzzled me as a kid

Crazy Money

So one of our fellow Hostages hit it big in the lottery. Yes, Troy won big. So did Uncle Sam who appreciates all the tax money to feed the machine. Always fun to imagine what you would do if you won the lottery. For me, part of the enjoyment of buying a lottery ticket, is daydreaming about what you’d do with all that money. Everyone says they will not change but secretly know they will. Here’s a few ideas of what to do with all that mad money.

Carpal Tunnel Tuesday

Four Seasons Converge

This time of year the worlds of football, baseball, basketball and hockey all meet and compete for our attention. There’s probably some golf, tennis and WNBA going on somewhere but, really, no one really knows. The A’s – Yankees AL Wild Card game is on in the background. One game to determine who faces the Red Sox. It’s been a good year to watch the Sox with all their winning. Despite that they have heartbreak written all over them. Their bullpen sucks and I’m guessing they’ll go home early. Alright, enough sports. Let’s turn to funny animals.

Shut Yer Pie Hole!

Old white man’s term: Vagina

New awesome unicorn term: Front Hole
