A Rasher of Bacon As A Unit Of Measure

by Smitty It makes sense to scale food to some hand unit of measure. Who wants to fret calories and grams and whatnot? Via the Weekday Vegetarian, which I swear my wife shared with me in the Google Reader, as I would never be caught with my masculinity so impaired as to subscribe directly, we […]

Definition of ‘Misogynist’

A guy who thinks feminists are funny when they’re angry. And of course, they’re always angry, aren’t they? “Dilbert” cartoonist Scott Adams mocked them for fun: This weekend the top twitter meme in the solar system, at least for a few hours, involved Feminist blogs calling me an ignorant, misogynist asshole.

Coolest Nature Video Evah!

Completely ripped off from Ace of Spades HQ: I’d feel guilty about ripping off that video, except (a) it was posted there seven hours ago, which means about 35,000 people have seen it already, so it’s not like I’m depriving them of traffic, and (b) let’s face it, at least 90% of my shtick is […]

In Desperate Bid to End Cairo Violence, Levi Johnston’s Sister Agrees to Pose Nude

State Department sources say the Egyptian rioters have demanded to see Mercede Johnston naked. Initial attempts by the Obama administration to quell the uprising with Kim Kardashian nude photos led to further negotiations.
