Scientists call it the Naked Photo Test, and it works like this: say a photo turns up of you nakedly doing something that would shame you and your family for generations. Bestiality, perhaps. Ask yourself how many people in your life you would trust with that photo. If you're like the rest of us, you probably have at most two.
Even more depressing, studies show that about one out of four people have no one they can confide in.

I used to read Mad, Cracked and Crazy all the time. Great stuff, and all early contributors to major sociopolitical warpage later in life.

No comparison. Cracked couldn’t hold a candle to Mad.

Fortunately my acquaintances and friends are seasoned enough to know that it is not sophisticated to dig for secrets and virtuous enough not to reveal one.
Besides they are too busy in their own personal fulfillment.

I think Mad spawned P. J. O’Rourke.

I think Mad spawned P. J. ORourke. I believe that was National Lampoon.

Actually, Peej came from Harvard Lampoon, and Peej (and MO’D) spawned National Lampoon. Y’know, rather than the other way around. ;’)

"...via a DU post."Oh come on ... with the number of vanities around here lately, I'm sure there would be at least one here.

Conservatives don’t advertise their sexual indiscretions - that’s what Fox News is for.

Hmm, I could easily be wrong, but I’m pretty sure he founded National Lampoon.
Again, I could easily be wrong, and maybe the founders of National Lampoon created him in a test tube, a sort of different take on the Nation of Islam creation myth.

The MSM is making me miserable but I find myself unable to tune them out. The weather people are the worst with their storm stories and entire “what if” programs of doom. “What if” the sky falls? Well if it does and it doesn’t fall directly on me I’ll just do the best I can with what I have left. If it does fall on me, then I guess I don’t have to worry about it.
Last week there was an entire program on what would happen on earth if man was to completely disappear. We already know what would happen without maintenance men and yard men, they don’t have to completely disappear to know that. The yard would grow up and cover the house and in time, the house would fall down.
It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure that out but the had a number of scientists explaining it to us like we were 1st graders. I got so disgusted I threw a hissy fit and left the room.
