What to you get when you mix a group of trust funders with a bunch of uneducated know if all welfare sucking parasites? PDD. Just think how much of your money is going to pay for some of these individuals housing, heating assistance, food, and unfortunately, because of our messed up system, money for drinking, drugs, and computers to spread their hate and anger.

PDD, if this is Duluth's arts culture, the city is in big trouble. It's a bunch of delinquent kids who are trying to show their parents how smart they are and failing miserably, I might add. They should go back home to mommy and daddy and enroll back in the schools they dropped out of and attend some counseling sessions to get some help with the issues that many clearly possess.

I found this on DCB. I think they're wrong. I'm probably the youngest, by far, on this website, and not even I act like ther description of PDD. Feedback?

I noticed this on the "Blog" of "Unnecessary" Quotation Marks. I enjoy reading example after example of bad punctuation, and it's nice to see my hometown represented.

Lucie Amundson, frequent contributor to PDD, is featured on this week's In the Loop story slam about "Your Achilles' Heel" with her harrowing tale of trying to sell her home. It starts at about timecode 10:00 and runs just under 5 minutes. It's hilarious. Kudos to you, Lucie. I hope you sell your house soon so you can join us here in Duluth.

(I dug this up while reading January's Harper's Weekly magazine in the break room today at work.)

From responses by the 1st Battalion, 501st Parachute Infantry Regiment, in Fort Greely, Alaska to a recent survey on new MRE's (Meals Ready to Eat).



The vanilla pudding is so good I ripped it open, licked the inside, and rolled around on top of it like a dog.

Am I supposed to add water to the peanut butter dessert?

Shitcan the meat chunk and give out more granola.

I don't personally like the cheese, but I can trade with it.

Should add Copenhagen dip.

Why in God's name would you put a vegetable in a MRE?

It sounded like a flatulence symphony in my tent all night.

The way it turned my mouth blue flooded my mind with childhood memories, and for a moment I was at peace.

"Who would have guessed that when you remove Garfield from the Garfield comic strips, the result is an even better comic about schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and the empty desperation of modern life? Friends, meet Jon Arbuckle. Let’s laugh and learn with him on a journey deep into the tortured mind of an isolated young everyman as he fights a losing battle against loneliness in a quiet American suburb."

On This American Life last Saturday they had stories about tough rooms. My favorite piece was the Onions headline meeting. Basically the writers pitch 600 headlines and if they get at least two votes the headline makes it to the next round. Eventually they narrow it down to 15 headlines for the week. If you have ever read The Onion it is a fascinating glimpse behind the scenes.

So my challenge to you is to pitch some Onion style headlines. Leave them in the comments.

Here is my submission.

Only 10 minutes left in my shift, but I had time to skim through this useful site: GovernmentAttic.org.
Lots of government documents, including the often hillarious FCC complaints - check out this gem someone called in on the Simpsons.

I just returned from a trip to California. I visited this little town near the Ynez Valley called Solvang. It is modeled after a Dutch town and is surprisingly similar to Bayfield and Grand Marais with the small cafe's and the over crowded knick knack shoppes and all things Scandinavian. I thought some of you would find the name of this store a tad humorous....enjoy!

This is the link to what I think is the funniest Seinfeld moment ever. I am not quite sure how to get the actual video to appear on the site so bear with me It is the one with Mr. Bookman, the library cop grilling Jerry about a book and doing one of the finest acting jobs ever. I saw it the other night and spit the tea I was drinking out to keep it from coming out my nose. I welcome all challanges.

Mayday, you reminded me of this site that the Professor pointed out to me back in June. It randomly pairs a Family Circus panel with a quote from Friedrich Nietzsche. Of course, hilarity ensues.

Not all of the pairings are great. Some are just creepy. But you can always refresh the page to get a new comic.

Lots and lots and lots of jalapenós at The Anchor Bar

I went over across the bridge this weekend for a burger at The Anchor Bar. While there I encountered an individual eating a jalapenó burger with three patties on it. I called over to him saying, 'Hey, let me get your picture - I'm putting you on the Internet.' To which he turned, attempted to put his face around the behemoth burger and let me capture this image.

They say to write what you know, so for tonight's Out of the Hat my script features a blog off between DCB and PDD. I'm afraid I make merciless fun of both blogs. No offense, but let's face it, we are a silly lot.

You can come see the show tonight at 7pm and/or read the script on ironic1.com.

One day commitment!

Morning: Get script.
Afternoon: Practice, practice, practice.
Evening: Perform.
Night: Party, party, party.

What could be better?

Out of the Hat 10 could use a few more actors on Friday (Nov. 9) and the more the merrier on Saturday (Nov. 10). Again, it's only a one day commitment and it's a lot of fun. Contact Brian Matuszak for more information.

Oh, and when you perform on Saturday you have a roughly 1 out of 8 chance of performing a script written by our new mayor. You have the same odds of performing a script that I've written, but don't think about that right now.

So, my mom had me look up some Powerball numbers for her this morning. Pretty stupid, right?

After obsessing over my awesome fantasy football team for an hour or so I got down to business.

Turns out that matching two numbers doesn't win you shit, but I got really interested in why the odds of winning the $3 prize (only matching the Powerball) are 1:68.96 instead of 1:42 and clicked on the handy little FAQ link.

The answers I got, to questions I never had and probably never will, kept me laughing for about 15 minutes. Not that the Powerball site's FAQ is all that funny, but it's just WAY more flippant and sarcastic than I was expecting (like, I think someone who might actually be fun to hang out with came up with this) .

A sample:

WHICH HAS THE BETTER CHANCE OF WINNING: COMPUTER PICKS OR PLAYER PICKS?

About 70% to 80% of purchases are computer picks. About 70% to 80% of winners are computer picks. Perhaps just one of those weird coincidences?

No, actually, fuck that. The Powerball site's FAQ is funny.

Here's another FAQ heading:

HOW COME THE ONLY JACKPOT WINNERS ARE FROM THE [EAST - WEST - NORTH - SOUTH - CITIES - RURAL AREAS]?
HOW COME ONLY [WHITE, BLACK, TALL, SKINNY, YOUNG, OLD] PEOPLE WIN?

I imagine the person who put the FAQ together got really annoyed by all the emails complaining about all the damn coloreds that keep winnin' the powerballs an' why in the heyll is this? Some damned northern cunspeersy, probly.

Old folks too. They're always winning this frickin' thing!

Here's the link.
