Alyson’s next car

She just doesn’t know it yet.

Current owner is some guy up in Cumming, GA.   It’s an old camaro and the guy keeps doing more work on it.   He says it’s a “Street Fighter” theme.   I bet my Impala is faster but who cares how fast it goes.

I like Yoko Ono more every year

I miss Rob Hartley, the psychiatrist

That guy was a talk-it-out psychiatrist.   Not like today’s psychopharmacologists.





This article explains why you don’t find Robert Hartleys any more.
Main reason: psychopharmacologists (today’s psychiatrists) can see 3 patients an hour while Hartley could only see one.    Talk sessions last an hour.   Pill prescription sessions only last 20 minutes.

Read the whole article before you ever take any medicine for depression, anxiety, restless legs, binge eating, or any of the other disorders the drug industry shoehorned their brain drugs into.    (My link goes to the 2nd page of the 2nd part of the article.   here’s the link to Page 1 of Part 1: LINK)

So, who do you think is behind this ad?    Could it be a pill-selling psychiatrist?   Or the pharmaceutical industry?

OK.  So I looked up the 1800 number.  NARSAD appears to not be just a tool of the pharmaceutical industry.  LINK 

Fine.   But Bob Hartley would never blame it all on chemistry.

what is it about the truth that pisses people off?

“The truth will set you free, but first it will piss you off.”
― Gloria Steinem

Study why the truth pisses people off.   Most of the time it’s because they are trying to enforce lies and silence.

Chocolate fudge recipe

I might need this in a couple of days
http://www.eaglebrand.com/recipes/details/?RecipeId=3968&category=-1

It’ll be good with a layer of candied bacon sandwiched between layers of the fudge.    Candy the bacon by cooking it with brown sugar drizzled on it.

followup:
the candied bacon was awesome.    The fudge wasn’t so good.   Next time, just the bacon.

Simpsons scripts and quotes

Simpsons scripts

I don’t need to watch the Simpsons, the scripts are enough to make me laugh out loud.
Here’s some of my favorite Homer Simpson quotes

• Bart, with $10,000, we’d be millionaires! We could buy all kinds of useful things like…love!
  
• Just because I don’t care doesn’t mean I don’t understand.
  
• I’m normally not a praying man, but if you’re up there, please save me Superman.
  
• Son, if you really want something in this life, you have to work for it. Now quiet! They’re about to announce the lottery numbers.
  
• Well, it’s 1 a.m. Better go home and spend some quality time with the kids.
  
• You know, boys, a nuclear reactor is a lot like a woman. You just have to read the manual and press the right buttons.
  
• Lisa, if you don’t like your job you don’t strike. You just go in every day and do it really half-assed. That’s the American way.
  
• What do we need a psychiatrist for? We know our kid is nuts.
  
• Marriage is like a coffin and each kid is another nail.
  
• Kids, you tried your best and you failed miserably. The lesson is, never try.
• Getting out of jury duty is easy. The trick is to say you’re prejudiced against all races.
  
• Kill my boss? Do I dare live out the American dream?
  
• All my life I’ve had one dream, to achieve my many goals.
  
• But Marge, what if we chose the wrong religion? Each week we just make God madder and madder.
  
• That’s it! You people have stood in my way long enough. I’m going to clown college!
  [ooo—- FSU reference?  ]
  
• If something’s hard to do, then it’s not worth doing

Drone poster gets street artist arrested

from NY Daily News:

Marcus Santos for New York Daily News

Street artist Essam Attia planted dozens of these phony NYPD drones posters around the city.

A street artist whose mock public service ads around the city claimed the NYPD used spy drones to monitor citizens was busted after outing himself in a website interview, authorities and sources said.

Essam Attia, 29, was hit with 56 counts of criminal possession of a forged instrument, grand larceny possession of stolen property and weapons possession after allegedly having an unloaded .22-caliber revolver under his bed at his Manhattan apartment when he was arrested early Wednesday.

I’m thinking NICE WORK by NYPD, doing the hard detective work after he signed his posters “Essam”.   It took 2 months to find him?   Bad move by the artist, using the NYPD logo on the posters, though.

Andrew Donnelly, funniest guy on TV right now

Love the way he brushes his teeth.  

However, his Tumblr is about as creepy as it gets.   That picture is perfect for a sex offenders registry.    Plus his only Tumblr post to be about watching kids at a playground?   Yeah, he’s funny.

Check out his twitter feed.
