  • I'd like to read that.

    About ten years ago, I created an alter ego, a gay man named Jack Mackerel that hosted a talk show. Jack interviewed lots of people, including Shrub, Jesus, and many made up guests with weird products to sell, including a man who built a time machine that was fueled by peanut butter. He interviewed Moses once. He even interviewed me, against my will. That one is hilarious.

    Jack even did an almost interview of Hitler. Hitler of course, panicked and committed suicide in the green room. I might have to dig those things up again.

    Wow, those sound much better than mine. Oh I should have explained more but when we went down to the river for our teenage debauchery, it seemed like nature was against either in that the tree roots or branches always tripped us or the ground was so loose that we would start sinking.

  • I don't know if this qualifies as a catastrophe, but there was a big movement to boycott Starbucks because they "refused" to sell or give (depending on the source of the rumor) coffee to the troops because Starbucks is "anti-war".

    My brother-in-law fell for that one.  He also still believes Caribou Coffee (you don't have those by you; it's a chain similar to Starbucks) finances al Qaeda because they were bought by a company that, as a rule, will not sell pork products, alcohol, or pornography (they do a lot of business in Muslim regions [the parent company, not Caribou]).

    The embarassing photos list isn't really that bad, BTW.

  • @ithiliya - 

    Yeah those photos are just funny but the lady in the cow suit...that may be something she won't be proud of in a few months but judging from what they said she was doing when she got arrested she is probably oblivious to everything.

    Oh, I'm familiar with Caribou. I went to college in Minnesota for 5 years and then lived there for another 4. There were Caribous almost every where I went up there. I hadn't heard that about the supposed links to al Qaeda. That is funny. That makes me Muslim or Jewish because I do not eat pork...that often. But alcohol and porn...I guess I will stay Christian so I can indulge.

    I have heard a lot of people are boycotting Starbucks for other reasons. That one is new to me. I know that people didn't send their children to the private high school where I taught because the school didn't post any signs that said "Support Our Troops" because that meant we supported terrorism. Well we did, we supported the U.S. government.

  • @godfatherofgreenbay - That was a LADY?  Dude, I thought that was a dude :)

    There were other schools that did the same thing.  Personally, while I definately support the troops (duh, my dad's leaving for his second tour in Iraq this October) I HATE those "Support The Troops" sign... simply because people are using the phrase as code for "Support the War" or "Support Bush".   As they say, the only Bush I support is my own!

  • @ithiliya - 

    Yes it was a lady. I read about it when it first happened and basically everyone in the neighborhood always referred to her as the crazy lady. I can't remember the specifics and I need to read that site again but I remember somewhat that she had those utters working but they weren't sure what the liquid was.

    I hate the people that slap the Support the Troops signs on their cars. Well...it does seem fitting seeing half of that war at times seems like it is over oil. The Bush administration and his cabinet profited off the war. Half of them were former CEOs of oil companies including Bush himself. I was reading somewhere that Dick Cheney's stock options in Haliburton have increased 3000% since the war began. The best sticker I ever saw was one of those ribbons and it said "Mindless Expression" or something like that, I'll have to dig up the photo. Did you know that when America first started taking out the terrorist they referred to it as The War Against Terror but then they tried to merchandise it and realized that The War Against Terror might be offensive...T.W.A.T.

  • @ithiliya - 

    I can't find that pic now but I did find this over at whitehouse.org http://www.cafepress.com/thewhitehouse.60536755

  • I haven't been getting my Xanga Daily Subscriptions so I've missed some of yours - like this one.  I'm glad I made the effort to come here specifically to see your site.  And no, I didn't make the most embarassing photos.  (But I'd like to lunch on that lunch lady #4.)

  • @curiousdwk - 

    Oh yes she would have brightened my days when I was teaching but the lunch ladies we had were all moms of students in my class or those that I coached.

  • @godfatherofgreenbay - That's classic.

    My favorite bumper magnet I've seen is "Some Asshole Stole My Support Magnet"... that and "Support Sex Drugs and Rock and Roll" :)

  • @godfatherofgreenbay - *LOL* Very funny, but I don't think many people would get it, outside of the context. 

    Whitehouse.org rocks!  Thanks for giving me that link...

  • @ithiliya - 

    I actually stunbled upon it when I was in college and found out that porn sites liken their addresses to actual addresses. I fell in love and in a way that site is so much better than porn.
