Self Deprecation Will Set You Free

While channel-surfing moments ago I saw that one channel was showing Danielle Steel's "Jewels."

Though I’m sure the original story contained their use, I doubt the story is actually about testicles.

No turkey for me, but here are some interesting pictures from my Mexico trip:

someone: Since you’ll be there, do they have turkey in Mexico?
me: No, immigration policy is too strict.
someone: oh.
me: They have to get visas, and work permits… can’t get driver’s licenses.
me: And the government doesn’t want to have to worry about providing the turkeys with medical care.
someone: taking all the federally provided care.
me: They gobble up too many resources.
me: ::rimshot::
someone: LOL

We apologize for the issue with Chuzzle mobile. We have discovered that there is indeed a bug that occurs when the player exceeds level 43. This is being remedied for future builds.

Level 43 is the highest the game can go at this time. We can only recommend you begin a new expert game. This will not affect any trophies won during the game. We suggest also that you deliberately ‘lose’ the level 43 game if possible, as it is the only way to be given the opportunity to save your high score under the current conditions. Again, we apologize for this issue and are working on the next release in which this bug will be fixed.

someone: Yo
me: Yo
me: I need to put away this bag of swiss cheese.
me: I’m never going to be able to poop again.
someone: Speaking of which, brb
me: LOL

When Bob Barker dies, will his family have to guess the price of the funeral without going over?

someone: So are you going to visit your parents for the holidays?
me: Nope
me: I’m having Thanksgiving in Mexico
someone: You are?
me: Kinda
me: Nothing quite like…
me: Turkey…
me: Stuffing…
me: Cranberry Sauce…
me: Donkey show
someone: lol

Websites, brands, professional boxers… all have taglines.  This blog has a tagline if you hadn’t noticed.  If you start a WordPress.com blog, you get the default “Just another wordpress blog” tagline.

Fark.com has “It’s not news, it’s Fark.com”
Nike, “Just Do It”
BMW, “The ultimate driving machine”
General Motors, “Sorry, but we have to issue another recall on your vehicle.”

From Fark I was directed to unusualmaps.com which is not a website about space monkeys opening pizza parlors to influence local elections.  It is a site with, no joke, unusual maps.

Technically the maps aren’t unusual, in fact they only seem to have two maps.  The data the map has is what’s unusual.

What is not also not unusual is the tagline, “Where you’ll find maps that are just unusual!”

me: I just finished reading a book by a Born Again Christian about how and why the New Testament was changed.
me: I thought I had a concept of how many modification took place.
me: I was wrong.
someone: Wow
someone: What’d it say?
me: It’s WAY worse than I thought
me: But holy shit (pun intended)….
me: Hundreds of thousands of known issues
someone: It’s almost time for a new revision
me: And going back to the originals not being a possibility
someone: what happened to them?
me: Mom probably sold them at a yard sale, “these aren’t worth anything.”
me: He put them on his bicycle spokes to make it sound like a motorcycle
me: ratatatatatatamen
someone: LOL
