Throwback Thursday – #tbt – My Storytelling Outfit?
I was looking back and realised that the shirt and pants I wore to tell stories to some kids in a summer reading program two years ago…
…are the same ones I wore this past summer.
(I have no photographic evidence of what I wore for the school visit in summer 2015 but I suspect it was likely the same combo that appears to be my “Go To” storytelling outfit!) 😉
Pissident Elect @realdonaldtrump
Lots of great humour about the reports that Donald Trump paid Russian prostitutes to urinate on him.
The absolute funniest part to me is that a guy who makes up shit, lies freely, changes his story regularly and was helped greatly by “fake news” is now being undermined by an unsubstantiated rumour.
Someone joked that this scandal is what the Internet was invented for. Here’s some of the *many* jokes and puns I’ve seen…
- Most people get pissed off, Trump gets pissed on.
- Because of this story, Trump is turning on the waterworks.
- Trump has golden toilets, why not golden showers?
- Will Russia “leak” the Trump sex tapes?
- Obama, you’re out. Trump, urine!
- Low turnout expected for Trump inauguration because there’s 90% chance of showers.
- Now we know why Trump liked WikiLeaks so much.
- “A house divided cannot stand.” -Abe Lincoln /// “The only thing to fear is fear itself.” -FDR /// “Pee on my face” -Donald Trump
- The GOP is so concerned with what bathroom people use. Shouldn’t they be happy that they’re using a bathroom?
- Trump mis-spelled his slogan. It was “Make America Urinate Again”!
- “What’s Donald Trump’s favourite restaurant?” The Golden Arches!
- President of the United States is POTUS. President-Elect is PEETOS.
- Obama was the first black President. Trump is the first blackmailed President.
- You know this story is fake because it says he had to pay people to piss on him. Most people would do that for free.
- Stephen Colbert probably wins the prize for best summary:
“I’m not going to validate that report by sharing the most salacious details from it, even the detail everyone’s talking about. You might call it the number one detail. I think this is just an unfortunate leak. That’s making a huge mess. And I know I’m being a wet blanket, but reporting on this is the worst kind of yellow journalism. Even though jokes about this story are a golden opportunity, I won’t do it. Not to say the story didn’t make a huge splash. It did. It flooded Twitter. We’ll keep you updated as facts trickle in. We have our best researcher working on it. She’s a real whizz. And one thing is for sure: The president-elect is a Goldwater Republican who believes in trickle-down. So no, no, I’m not going to make any jokes, not even a wee one. So, I’m cutting it off now. I am finished. Wait! A little more is coming out! It happens sometimes. But after eight years of listening to Trump make unsubstantiated claims about Obama’s birth certificate, I don’t think this matters if this is true or not, because the fact is, it’s out there, and that means, Mr. Trump, you’re in trouble.”
The Difference Between Obama and Trump In Two Top Twitter Trends
Obama gives a heartfelt, inspiring, intelligent farewell address.
Trump has it leaked that he may have paid Russian hookers to urinate on him. :-0
(The claim about Trump is unsubstantiated but it comes from a reliable source in the UK intelligence community, the US intelligence community apparently brought these allegations to the President which they don’t do lightly and isn’t it delightful that Mr. “Say Whatever Shit He Wants No Matter How Insane” is getting some of his own medicine either way?)
Music Monday – “Where are those happy days, they seem so hard to find/I tried to reach for you, but you have closed your mind”
Meryl Streep gave a great speech while accepting a Lifetime Achievement Award at the Golden Globes last night criticizing Donald Trump without once mentioning him by name.
He reacted like a big crybaby as usual. (Hint: There’s no way on earth that the most decorated actress of all-time is “over-rated” even though that’s the go-to word in your limited vocabulary.)
Anyhow, “S.O.S” seems appropriate today with the Presidential Inauguration less than two weeks away…
Saturday Snap – Sk8r Kidz
How did our nine year old become a teenager?
And of course his little sister idolizes him and if brother’s a skateboarder, she’s a “skateboarder friend”…
Friday Fun Link – What The Mall Looked Like in 1989
This post is half Throwback Thursday and half Friday Fun Link.
It features cassettes! Acid Wash Jeans! Big Hair! And somebody who looks like I looked in 1989 (okay, the pic is 1991) leaning against a brick wall.
It’s a pictoral history of the American Mall in 1989!
Throwback Thursday – #tbt – New Years Eve Countdown, Iberostar Varadero (December 31, 2015)
Hard to believe that just over a year ago, we were celebrating New Year’s Eve in Cuba!
Kansas Representative’s Son Dabs at Swearing In Ceremony
Saw this on /r/facepalm but personally I think this is pretty funny (of course, I’ve got a nine year old son so I know what dabbing is and I see it every time he accomplishes pretty much anything – “Did something cool in a video game” <dab>, “Flip a quarter-full water bottle so it lands on its top” <dab>, “Finished a glass of milk!” <dab>)
This kid wasn’t so lucky – apparently his dad grounded him for his misbehaviour while Paul Ryan did some good-natured damage control after initially thinking the kid was sick or about to sneeze.
