Thanksgiving Is Almost Upon Us; Advice from The Awl (What not to say at dinner) And A Personal Apology

admin — Wed, 17 Nov 2010 22:10:14 +0000

Yeah, it’s that time again. Time to stuff your face and be happy you are an American (even if the USA is heading toward Third-World status). Typically I just post random stuff here, but why not have a little holiday fun and point you towards two articles I found enjoyable – and great examples of what Thanksgiving can really be like – both from The Awl.

First up we have a list of ten things you shouldn’t say or discuss at this year’s Thanksgiving dinner from Dave Bry (article titled, My Sister’s Apple Cake – which is a misnomer as his sister’s apple cake is a Better Homes & Gardens apple cake, he admits).

Besides mentioning to not bring up the dreaded job search, Dave suggests avoiding even the topic of popular music – which given his example, I definitely agree with the sentiment. Music is always a tricky topic to broach with people who have varied interests or gasp, don’t know shit about music (or Prince);

Because people have different opinions about things. Someone at the table may be a professional musician, and wonder aloud why the musical artist Prince inspires such love and devotion from his fans since, this person might say, "his singing is always off key!" Due to your own feelings about Prince, which run counter to those just expressed, and the consumption of many glasses of wine during the recitation of a Native American prayer, you may blurt out an answer to the posed question by stating, enthusiastically, that Prince is simply the “baddest motherfucker in the world.” There may be be children at the table, ages twelve, nine, four. An aunt may tell your wife, who she’s sitting next to, that, “That’s not okay.”

As far as bringing up the most recent books you’ve read, or those which have captivated you (you know, the ones you are always begging people to read) Dave has simple advice – don’t bother – because? …

You haven’t read enough of them. You don’t understand the few that you’ve read.

There is always someone at the ol’ turkey eating contest that agrees. To avoid these face-palming situations I’d suggest reading the entire article: The Awl – My Sister’s Apple Cake by Dave Bry

If you enjoy Bry’s writing and sense of humor I’d suggest reading the public apology he has posted to his step-nephew for a slip-up he made to him a few years ago. Here is the setup;

We were in the kitchen at our mutual aunt’s house in Boston. I’d just arrived, after a long drive with my wife and my kid and my mother. You and your folks had gotten there the day before. We were both up from New York, but I hadn’t seen you in a few years. Not since you were much shorter, and much less opinionated about socio-economic matters. Or at least less colorful in the expression of your opinions.

Seems that the step-nephew had turned into a little bastard, though Bry admits that this likely stemmed from his frustration with “[being] totally miserable, trapped in Boston with your parents for four days instead of smoking pot with your friends and masturbating in the privacy of your own bathroom.” Yes, understandable that the kid would be a little rough around the edges.

I guess you’ll just have to read the article (Public Apology: Dear Step-Nephew) to find out Bry’s response to being called “fucking bourgeois scum” by this rebellious teen on a Boston Thanksgiving day.

Lame Update: Prince Phillip, Consort of the Queen, Made Commie Joke to Obama

admin — Sun, 19 Sep 2010 09:21:18 +0000

Prince Philip As Seen By The World

In a follow up to a goofy post I wrote earlier it seems that Prince Philip made an off the wall comment to President Obama when he first visited the White House;

[The] President told the Royals: “I had breakfast with the Prime Minister, I had meetings with the Chinese, the Russians, David Cameron [the Conservative Prime Minister]…

…

A guffawing Prince Philip then blurted out: “Can you tell the difference between them?”
(Via: UK Sky News Blog)

I like how Jack & Jill Politics interpreted the gaffe;

It’s interesting because it’s offensive on several different levels. For those who don’t know, David Cameron is the leader of the conservative opposition in the UK. But apparently Prince Phillip also implies in his remarks that Cameron a member of the Conservative Party, mind you and therefore right wing is a communist like the Russians and Chinese. And that Barack Obama might be too stupid to tell them apart. Because Barack Obama is also a communist, right?

With my favorite part:

You have to hand it to Prince Phillip — a barb that sophisticated, offensive and condescending to so many millions of people including Russia, China, America and UK Tories/conservatives worldwide takes a lifetime to perfect. Well done, as they’d say here in the UK!
(Both via Prince Phillip Makes Racist Joke to Obama Upon Meeting Him – Jack & Jill Politics)

And that’s what I’ve been saying all along. Sophisticated troll is sophisticated. He’s good, has a real zing sense of humor and though you may not like his ethnic jokes… they are damn good. This one isn’t of the best in my other post, but as they pointed out, he’s a pro – not a noob at this.

Olivia Munn - Espionage Correspondent

Praise Allah, Jesus and L. Ron Hubbard! Olivia Munn, the sexy German-Irish-Chinese goddess looks to be a new corespondent on The Daily Show. This has to be groundbreaking for her, to get on another channel than G4, even if it is Comedy Central. Don’t get me wrong, Attack of the Show is great, her and Kevin Pereira are great together – but any time we get to see more of her and people start asking for more only good things can happen.

Apparently though, this is not her first appearance on the show, I just had no idea. Excuse me while I continue to overreact.

Birds Released From Oil Spill – To New “Home”

admin — Sat, 05 Jun 2010 04:11:59 +0000

You might as well get it out of the way and realize it’s Katrina all over again. These poor birds were living their lives and got covered in oil and now they are in the jail known as the Sherburne Wildlife Area. Why is everyone being shipped out of Louisiana? Did we sell it back 10 years ago and this is all part of the final steps? Now all of New Orleans, and now these poor birds are being “cleaned up” and shipped away – in this case a total of 80 whole kilometers! It’s very sad, serious business;

“He is scoping around his new home,” Sharon Taylor, a Corrections Officer with the US Fish and Wildlife Marshal Service, says of the prisoner.

The bird then took a few steps into fenced in cage before trying out his wings. His smaller companion followed a few minutes later.

“They look right at home here,” said Taylor, surrounded by fencing dotted by hardened birds.

via AFP: Birds released from oily grave, never to see the ocean again.

French People Invented Skype in 1910

admin — Wed, 07 Apr 2010 23:16:57 +0000

Some guy named Christopher found a little post card that shows there is prior art for Skype and other webcam software (yeah, I know Skype was the late-comer – but who gets a CU-SeeMe reference today?).

Check it, it’s kinda creepy. Even shows how French people invented the Interwebs.

From a French postcard c. 1910. Notice the caption which translates as “In the year 2000.” Not too far off, except for the costumes.
