California Governor Gavin Newsom's office tweets that when eating in public, the public should put their masks back in place between bites of food and presumably sips of their beverages.

https://www.10news.com/news/local-ne...-between-bites

This is colossally silly. Don't hold your breath for me to report having seen anyone eating this way. Democratic Governor, into the bargain.

SEAL BEACH, Calif. - An 86-year-old woman was found dead of a gunshot wound to the head in her bed at a Southern California nursing home yesterday, and her 88-year-old husband of nearly seven decades was found sitting next to her and arrested on suspicion of murder, police said.

What do you do?

Public notice: If I cannot tell you the names of my family members, kill me. I don't want to live like that (not that I would be aware), and I don't want my family burdened.

Somewhat related:

I (think) I know a guy that has the now-internet-famous tattoo a few inches under his left nipple that says "Do Not Resuscitate".

Sarah Palin: 'We Gotta Stand With Our North Korean Allies'

Quote:
Palin's gaffe immediately caught fire on the blogosphere.
Liberals jumped to show her response as evidence of Palin's lack of foreign policy expertise.
Conservatives came to her defense, pointing to her response immediately before the gaffe where she discusses sanctions.
Here is the interview with Beck

Remember when you agreed to take the mod job you said you wouldn't be able to be on that much, mostly on weekends?
Of course technology marches on, then comes the growing creep of time consumed, and the feeling of obligation to check just to make sure.

You're doing a good job, thank you.

Hey. No big deal. It's not much work. I'm just offended that they would sully the cellar.

Your Oddly Entertaining Weird News Item Of The Day

So...

The gay, female-identifying, 24-year old male stripper accuses his 67-year old partner (yep, sexual relationship) of being a cannibal. 67-year old Honey-Bunch pulls a gun, it goes off. Of course it hits no one. The stripper then stabs Honey-Bunch in both eyes with a pen. Not satisfied that Honey-Bunch knows he's crossed a line, Boy Toy then grabs a piece of wood, jams it down Honey-Bunch's throat, and then, just to drive his point home...stomps the piece of wood even further down the man's throat.

Boy Toy then grabbed a backpack, stole some money and escaped out a window. Naked.

The bright side to all this?

It's the first time in six years Honey-Bunch got wood without taking a little blue pill.

Having spent ninety Great British minutes on a phone call to a financial institution this afternoon, and in need of a short respite from such things, I thought I'd have a look around a news website or two.
One story which caught my eye was an incident where West Midlands Fire Service had to release an 'internet prankster' who had cemented his head in a microwave oven. Yes, we've all done it, haven't we?

WMFS were understandably not amused by this demand on their time...

West Midlands Fire Twitter


Man 'cements microwave to head' in Wolverhampton

On YouTube the video requires you to sign in but it's available here at Huffington Press

FWIW the 'cement' involved wasn't of the bricklaying type, it was Polyfilla, a plaster based material used to close up cracks in internal walls and ceilings.

The well of human stupidity will never run dry.

YouTube isn't doing the world any favors by hosting that video and rewarding the guy.

But they help kill off the really stupid ones and reward the buddy with the half a beer he's holding.
