Modo takes a trip and never leaves the ground

This is so funny…:

The caramel-chocolate flavored candy bar looked so innocent, like the Sky Bars I used to love as a child.

Sitting in my hotel room in Denver, I nibbled off the end and then, when nothing happened, nibbled some more. I figured if I was reporting on the social revolution rocking Colorado in January, the giddy culmination of pot Prohibition, I should try a taste of legal, edible pot from a local shop.

What could go wrong with a bite or two?

Everything, as it turned out.

Not at first. For an hour, I felt nothing. I figured I’d order dinner from room service and return to my more mundane drugs of choice, chardonnay and mediocre-movies-on-demand.

But then I felt a scary shudder go through my body and brain. I barely made it from the desk to the bed, where I lay curled up in a hallucinatory state for the next eight hours. I was thirsty but couldn’t move to get water. Or even turn off the lights. I was panting and paranoid, sure that when the room-service waiter knocked and I didn’t answer, he’d call the police and have me arrested for being unable to handle my candy.

I strained to remember where I was or even what I was wearing, touching my green corduroy jeans and staring at the exposed-brick wall. As my paranoia deepened, I became convinced that I had died and no one was telling me.

Too bad I wasn’t there; I could have gotten me a piece of booty and gotten away with it. 😉

Oops: Suicide Bomb Trainer in Iraq gives very a realistic lesson

Maybe a wee bit too realistic…. 😯

This is too good. 😀

Quote:

BAGHDAD — If there were such a thing, it would probably be rule No. 1 in the teaching manual for instructors of aspiring suicide bombers: Don’t give lessons with live explosives.

In what represented a cautionary tale for terrorist teachers, and a cause of dark humor for ordinary Iraqis, a commander at a secluded terrorist training camp north of Baghdad unwittingly used a belt packed with explosives while conducting a demonstration early Monday for a group of militants, killing himself and 21 other members of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, army and police officials said.

Iraqi citizens have long been accustomed to daily attacks on public markets, mosques, funerals and even children’s soccer games, so they saw the story of the fumbling militants as a dark — and delicious — kind of poetic justice, especially coming amid a protracted surge of violence led by the terrorist group, including a rise in suicide bombings.

Just last week a suicide bomber struck a popular falafel shop near the Ministry of Foreign Affairs here, killing several people. On Monday evening Raad Hashim, working the counter at a liquor store near the site of the attack, burst out laughing when he heard the news.

“This is so funny,” Mr. Hashim said. “It shows how stupid they are, those dogs and sons of dogs.”

Why I will never be a Keurig addict

I happen to read this very funny posting by Ed Morrissey over in the “green room” at HotAir.com.

For the record, Ed owns one of these. I, on the other hand; could not become to addicted to something as small as that.

Why?

Behold, my coffee “cup”:

mycoffeecup
Now, *that* is a coffee cup! Two of these in the morning or whenever I get up — gets my motor running.

So, I think the Keurig would be out of the question for me. I feel about those small coffee cups this way; I always like to tease the wait staff in any place coffee is served. I will say to them; that’s not a coffee cup, that’s a shot glass! Then, I’ll show them my mug. They just laugh…usually. 😉

So, Ed? I feel for you buddy. But, if they can figure out a way to make ’em big enough to fill my mug. I’ll get one; till then, it’s maxwell house and the coffee pot for me. 😀

 

Video: It’s all fun and games…..until someone gets shot in the head

D’oh!

The Story via New York Daily News:

Seconds later, a volley of bullets ring out, and the dance floor is suddenly covered in bodies.

Three people who had just been grooving to the wildly popular tune lie motionless on the ground, bleeding from their heads.

Guests scream in terror and flee the carnage as others begin tending to the wounded.

England’s The Sun reported three were killed and one wounded. The gunman was attempting to fire the AK-47 into the air in celebration, according to the paper.

The video could not be independently verified.

This happened in Yemen. 😯 Not much for gun safety there, are they? 😉

Reminds me of this here, sort of…:

Except it’s much, much worse. 😯

or this:

(on second thought, maybe not that video…)

All the more reason to… STAY SINGLE! 😯

Yes, Yes, I know….Gallows humor. 😛

Kudos to HotAir.com

Please Note: This posting is to replace the one that I published and pulled because I realized that what I wanted to do, was not going to work. (d’oh! Doh)

This is just a short posting of thanks and gratitude to HotAir.com for being nice enough to acknowledge the ministry of Billy Graham. A while back HotAir.com got knocked by some Christian bloggers and writers for their movement away from Social Conservatism — which basically is what the Republican Party is doing and what the conservative movement/tea party is doing.

Anyhow, I have been known to criticize HotAir.com, when I felt it was warranted; but I also praise them, when I see that it is warranted as well.  HappyBig GrinBatting Eyelashes

Which brings me to my real point of this blog posting: Billy Graham is a figure from a bygone era in America; which was before the cultural Marxists had actually gotten a foothold in America. It was before the days, when a Christian Pastor would have to worry about offending someone for preaching the truth of the Word of God.  It was before the creation of the Jewish-owned, controlled and financed Anti-Defamation League. It was before the creation of the unindicted terrorist organization CAIR. It was before the era of the nasty atheists, like Madelyn Murray O’Hair who got exactly what was coming to her.

Admittedly, as a Fundamental Baptist Christian; I have some personal issues with Rev. Graham’s ministry; and you can read about that here.  However, there is one thing that I will not criticize at all; and that was the man’s decision to follow Christ and preach his word to the people who did truly need it. Which is more than I can say for some of his critics, who made a cottage industry out of cutting down Rev. Graham’s ministry from the comfort of their dead, ineffectual Churches.

Again, this is just a small thank you, from someone; who is a part of the segment of society which is derided, ignored and often mocked —- The WASP’s of America. Winking

Hilarity at HotAir.com

Maybe it’s because I am half asleep. But, I happened to stumble across something that almost made me fall out of my chair….laughing!

I happen to follow my RSS Reeder’s feed over to HotAir.com and was reading the story. This when I noticed the ad, up there on the right side, top.

Increase your made man hood at Hotair.com! :lol:
Increase your made man hood at Hotair.com!

I really realize that HotAir.com does not have control over those ads. But, I never expected to see that kind of ad, with a woman who sort of, kind of, in a way…..looks like Michelle Bachmann.

Too funny! 😀
