green is the new black

Ah, there’s no riper target than the environmental movement right now.

First Cheryl Crow craps pellets like a rabbit. (Bogus story, it seems.)

Then …

… (the) Voluntary Human Extinction Movement takes things a step further.

Phasing out the human race by voluntarily ceasing to breed will allow Earth’s biosphere to return to good health. Crowded conditions and resource shortages will improve as we become less dense.

Thanks Rocky.

Stephen Colbert is featured on the May 2007 cover of GQ Magazine.

Seems he’s decided, finally, to run for President.

Now we have a Republican candidate who can take on Mike Gravel mano-a-mano.

Homer: Weaseling out of things is important to learn. It’s what separates us from the animals … except the weasel.

Homer: How is education supposed to make me feel smarter? Besides, every time I learn something new, it pushes some old stuff out of my brain. Remember when I took that home winemaking course, and I forgot how to drive?

Marge: Homer, is this how you pictured married life?
Homer: Yeah, pretty much, except we drove around in a van solving mysteries.

Moe: I’m better than dirt. Well, most kinds of dirt, not that fancy store-bought dirt… I can’t compete with that stuff.

Homer: If The Flintstones has taught us anything, it’s that pelicans can be used to mix cement.

The Cat’s Diary

Day 2983 of my captivity.

My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects.

They dine lavishly on fresh meat, while the other inmates and I are fed hash or some sort of dry nuggets.

Although I make my contempt for the rations perfectly clear, I nevertheless must eat something in order to keep up my strength.

The only thing that keeps me going is my dream of escape.

In an attempt to disgust them, I once again vomit on the carpet.

Today I decapitated a mouse and dropped its headless body at their feet.

I had hoped this would strike fear into their hearts, since it clearly demonstrates my capabilities.

However, they merely made condescending comments about what a “good little hunter” I am.

Damn Bastards.

There was some sort of assembly of their accomplices tonight.

I was placed in solitary confinement for the duration of the event.

However, I could hear the noises and smell the food.

I overheard that my confinement was due to the power of “allergies.”

I must learn what this means, and how to use it to my advantage.

Today I was almost successful in an attempt to assassinate one of my tormentors by weaving around his feet as he was walking.
I must try this again tomorrow, but at the top of the stairs.

I am convinced that the other prisoners here are flunkies and snitches.

The dog receives special privileges.

He is regularly released, and seems to be more than willing to return.

He is obviously retarded.

The bird must be an informant. I observe him communicate with the guards regularly. I am certain that he reports my every move.

My captors have arranged protective custody for him in an elevated cell, so he is safe.

For now…

strangest statues worldwide

In my travels I’ve been astonished how many city fathers have been convinced to erect statues bizarre and comic. 06

Started as a collection of statues, titled as Strange statues around the world and posted at the lifestyle blogzine haha.nu, the idea emerged to this site.

Collected, submitted, tagged and commented by you, the readers of haha.nu. Strange, odd, maybe *pornographic* even, but every statue has its own history and represents the original expression of their authors.
