Sheep Protest

THIS "Hooters Girl Hula Hooper - Unbelievable" is why I LUVS my internets!

OK, I admit it. I love snark. I love a well-crafted one, and I love to try my hand at it. Perhaps too often, I will concede. You definitely don't want to be considered "too snarky". But I can't help it. It's just too much fun. When I see a headline that is just screaming out for snark, I jump on the thread, and all too often see that another Freeper has beaten me to my snark. Did you know that the plural of snark is snark. As in "I posted 5 snark today". Honestly. While I play at snark,...

I know this sounds hysterical to post about a seemingly tin foil conspiracy development but I am prepared to risk some credibility and get it out there so that we can say we weren't completely surprised. First, 120 embassies have been shut down. The rationale is presumably because AQ is planning an attack. Fine, go with that but that's not the real reason I am hearing from credible sources. I'll say in my own defense that I was told by another source last October, a substantial source who nevertheless did not have 100% of my trust, that Israel would attack...

Norwegian photographer Arvid Strømnes learned a lesson earlier this week about why you shouldn’t get too close to wild animals while trying to capture them on camera.

A fight between a brother and sister sends one of them to the hospital late Tuesday night. Police said the man, in his late 20s, got into an argument with his 17-year-old sister inside a southwest Tulsa home. Their mother told police that her son started the disagreement, but it's unclear what the two were fighting over. The shouting escalated until the man put his sister in a head-lock, police said. Seconds later, the sister went on the offensive. She grabbed an electric can opener and smashed it into the side of her brother's head. He left the house and...

M E M O To: All Employees From: Management Subject: Revised layoff policy As a result of the reduction of money budgeted for departmental areas, we are forced to cut down on our number of personnel. Under the plan, planners will be asked to go on early retirement, thus permitting the retention of younger people who are willing to code 80 hours a week for the company. Therefore, a program to phase out all planners by the end of the current fiscal year, via layoff, will be placed into effect immediately. The program will be known as RAPE (Retire All...

Last night was the 2013 MLB All-Star game. Ah, America’s pastime! Who doesn’t love a good baseball game? And what better way to open up America’s game then with a heartfelt rendition of ‘God Bless America’? And…wait, a minute. Who is this guy coming out to sing God Bless AMERICA?

In case you wanted some inspiring ideas for all that disposable income you’ve got just sitting around.

Just seeing if it works.

Last summer "Gangnam Style" became a viral sensation. This summer that sensation might have been a "Monkey Style" burger -- if only it existed. An Internet hoax targeting devotees of In-N-Out Burger fooled more than a few customers and even mainstream news outlets this week, despite the restaurant's insistence that there is no such thing as "Monkey Style" -- a burger jammed with grilled onions and french fries. The hoax, which first appeared on Foodbeast, got mentioned on some blogs, on a newspaper website and even garnered a tweet and photograph from an ESPN and ABC News reporter who declared...

In an unusual move conservative chat site Free Republic announced today that it has banned all parody postings. According to a representative of Free Republic, "We had to do something. An informal survey showed us fully 75% of all postings were amateur attempts at parody." He went on "And it is a stretch to call these things parody. Parody isn't just making up crazy stuff and putting it into the mouths of people you don't like." A frequent poster on the web site, DManA approves of the move. "Everyone loves to be tricked, fooled, and made a fool of. That's...

Monday, June 10. 8:17 p.m. A St. Maries man reported he had been watching a moose near his house for a few days. He said now though it looks like the moose is dead. He said it could be lying down, but he believes it is dead. The man called back later and said he got overexcited and that the moose was still alive.

Great news for all those ”Sex and The City” loving fans: Sarah Jessica Parker’s new shoe line, SJP, is set to launch exclusively at Nordstrom stores and Nordstrom.com in January.

A truck carrying fireworks hit a moose near Wawa, Ontario, early Friday morning, shutting down the Trans Canada Highway for five-and-a-half hours and creating an impressive fireworks display as the truck burned.

Woman Injured by Moose Near Grand Lake Prompts Warnings

It can get lonely on the windswept plains of northern Colorado and finding love can be tricky. But as this lovestruck moose so athletically demonstrates, romance can be found anywhere if you really concentrate... especially if you put your partner on a pedestal. The unidentified moose has shaken townsfolk in Grand Lake, Colorado, to their bones after he was caught having sex with a statue of a moose.

I was going through some old files on my hard drive, when I discovered a series of threads I preserved from the 1999-2000 timeframe. I started reading through them and I was amazed at the number of people who had been on here, who I lost track of, or no longer see on the forum. I know, some of them are dead, some of them banned, some of them moved on... some of them even changed name! But I would love if any or all of you checked in, informing me of your status. I'm especially interested in hearing from...

I just received the following letter from a young woman who is also a Republican. I told her I would post it. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Dear Mr Limbaugh I just read what was said about you to people at Harvey Weinstein's house. The article is in the Atlantic. This is a little of what it said: President Obama told donors like Jessica Biel, Justin Timberlake (who was wearing hipster glasses), and Tommy Hilfiger that Washington gridlock is pretty much Rush Limbaugh's fault on Monday evening at a fundraiser at Harvey Weinstein's house in New York's Greenwich Village. Obama admitted that his theory...
