The moment before the pain begins

A Road in Bolivia


Papa B writes:

Don't complain about the traffic in Atlanta... you could be driving to work in Bolivia.

We have seen some pretty scary roads, but this certainly gets my vote for ‘Number One.’

A Road in Bolivia




















Papa B never checks Snopes -- and neither did I -- but it's too good to verify.

15 Things You Need to Know About Coffee


The Oatmeal offers 15 things you need to know about coffee. An excerpt:





The rest are here.


Cheney 2012 Campaign Slogans


Exurban League is thinking about a 'Draft Cheney' run for 2012. His proposed campaign slogans are awesome.

Top Cheney 2012 Slogans

10. "Yeah, I'm a compassionate conservative. I let you live, didn't I?"

9. "The Secret Service's new job? Protecting other world leaders from me."

8. "I'll crush all enemies foreign & domestic. Then I'll figure out a goal for Week Two."

7. "I shot a guy in the face and he apologized to me."

6. "Democrats will need Universal Health Care after I'm through with them."

5. "Want to see world leaders bowing? Oh, they'll bow alright."

...

3. "On my World Apology Tour, I won't be the one apologizing."

2. "I never had a heart attack. I just stopped it a few times to show it who was boss."

...

I just hope EL doesn't sic Cheney on me.

Waffle House Wedding


The Gwinnett Daily Post reports on a "Waffle House Wedding" (via Visual Consumer):

As the famous twang of Hank Williams Jr. blasted from an SUV stereo Friday afternoon, about 30 folks socialized, sipped soda and puffed on cigarettes... No, this wasn't a Fourth of July backyard barbecue. It was the run-up to a wedding... In a Waffle House parking lot.

The lucky couple, George "Bubba" Mathis and Pamela Christian - both 23 and employees at the Dacula diner located at the Ga. Highway 316/U.S. Highway 29 interchange - wouldn't have it any other way.











Check out the whole slide show at the Daily Post. I was moved to tears by the sheer beauty of the event.

Why Women Live Longer Than Men



A man stands on a bucket supported by a ladder. Stability is assured by the other man -- also standing on a ladder -- who holds the bucket.

The odds of all these connections all being right? About the same odds that Jean-Claude Van Damme will pick up an Oscar next year.

Doesn't look like anything can go wrong here.

It's not a violation of the seatbelt laws if it's a dead body.

Yes, that's a canoe sitting unsecured in a moving flatbed truck. And the occupant isn't wearing a life preserver.

I hope this excavation was worth it. Like digging up platinum-covered diamonds for instance.

Trucks are overrated.



These must be the same guys who did the junction box.

Who needs a jack when we've got rocks?

Note the sign that says Clearance (inset). Maybe it was too high to be read.

The force of the bungee cord is strong with you, my son.

Hey, there was no warning sign on the bridge that said trucks not allowed!

Hey, there was no warning sign on the chair that said not to stick my head through it!

Here's the plan: you hold it real still while I pound it in with a sledgehammer while standing on the 'dozer.

New stackable bucket-ladder from Ronco!

And they say women are bad drivers?

Heavy Duty Chainsaws: they're not just for experienced professionals any more!
