World War One Postcards
I picked up a couple of postcards at an antique shop. Both have WW1 themes and I found that rare in my limited experience. Both have obvious mistakes. Here they are: The first postcard features American soldiers with their distinctive campaign hats practicing with a “Maxium Machine Gun.” The Small Arms Defense Journal indicates that […]
Seriously, a fish named Obama
I like to read the European online news magazines. My favorite is the UK’s Telegraph. I also like the German’s Der Spiegel English version. One of the things that is interesting to me is to see how they report different things that go on in America especially politics. For example, Der Spiegel comes across as […]
Zombie Head Dogs: Lite Side Saturday 11/3/12
I have not taken the time to verify this but think it’s funny: Dana Perino (FOX News) describing an interview she recently had with a Navy SEAL. After discussing all the countries that he had been sent to, she asked if they had to learn several languages? “Oh, no ma’am, we don’t go there, to […]

Lite side Saturday with R. Lee Emery

I enjoyed the “namby-mamby land” Geico commercial featuring Emery and have enjoyed Emery in general over the years. Below is a lesser known spot he did for Coors Lite. It […]
Chipmunks Part 2, the Wrath of Carl
Husband: The chipmunk got the peanut butter without tripping the trigger on the cage. Unreal. Wife: Take it back to Farm and Fleet, it doesn’t work. Husband: Errrrrrr. Maybe it was a fluke. I’ll try again. Reset trap, use more peanut butter. Practice tripping the trigger. Seems to work fine. Husband: Unreal, they did it […]

US Threatens Denmark
As the world now knows the Danish PM, Helle Thorning-Schmidt, shamelessly enticed President Barack Obama and British PM David Cameron at the funeral of Nelson Mandela. Upon his return to the US the President ordered US warships to the North Sea to threaten the Copenhagen government and have it turn over their flirtatious PM to […]
