Stuff that makes me laugh
I followed a link from Insty to Amazon (“Top Books In Military History”) and found this:
Priceless.
That said, given the Smithsonian’s increasing descent into woke-based illiteracy, it wouldn’t surprise me at all if the cover was printed incorrectly, the book is about WWI, and nobody in the layers and layers of fact-checkers picked it up.
Or else it’s the Ockham principle, which would simply say that Amazon done fucked up.
Wherein we drag ourselves out of bed to face the horror of another week… wait a minute, it’s Martin Luther King Day!!! (a.k.a the holiday celebrated by many, while others go “Who?”)
Now on to the serious funnies [sic]…
And to celebrate MLK Day properly, what better than a quickie with some vintage Pam Grier?
Would. And so would anyone. Now get off that lounger and celebrate the day.
Okay, that does it: I am officially jealous of the younger generation, if this kind of thing is going to become commonplace:
An Oklahoma high school teacher was arrested for allegedly having a threesome with a student and another woman inside her home.
Joyce Churchwell, who worked as a volleyball coach at Berryhill High School in Tulsa, first connected with the student over Snapchat and began seeing him at her home last year, News on 6 reported.
The student “admitted that this encounter had taken place at the teacher’s home along with another adult female — a former teacher at the district.”
I mean, a high school kid bonking a nubile young teacher is one thing — but a threesome with another older woman?
Just… damn.

This is the French estate of Vaux-le-Vicomte (right-click to embiggen in another tab):
While impressive, the picture doesn’t do it justice: past the top of the pic is a series of man-made waterfalls which sends something like half a million gallons of water a day down the hill, where it ends up in the ponds and eventually in the moat which surrounds the main house. The water is then filtered and pumped back up to the reservoir at the top of the hill, to start its trip back down all over again*.
Anyway, I showed this pic to a friend, who said, “Wow, I’d hate to have to do all the gardening there!”
To which I made the age-old response: “Nah… give me a dozen Mexicans and I’d do it myself.”
I did warn you in the title…
*If you want to know how it all works, Monty Don explains it in his Netflix show, French Gardens.
Okay, it’s Monday ergo time to get back to work and solve all those problems you postponed last week:
So to distract you from help you with your calculations, a few chuckles:
And seeing as the schools will all have started this week:
Followed by some wisdom from our elders:
And for those winter coughs and sniffles:
And speaking of being mentally fucked up:
So let’s wrap this up with something to erase that last picture from your brains, i.e. a little bit of Marina Sirtis:
Now get out of that chair and get to work.
