Gangnam Style, Shackled
If you can tell me, without prior knowledge, who said: I like this new song Gangnam Style. I want to do the dance for you but cannot because of my shackles, you are a man among men, a woman among women.
Winter in Caracas
I always forget the reason I don’t winter in Caracas.
Could it be the swimming pools look dirty to me?
A worker is seen partially submerged under water as he tries to repair a broken pipe in Caracas, Venezuela.
I may be like Donald Trump, in that I have an aversion to germs. I really should get over it.
Gray Santa Baby
Note to all Santa(s) visiting the Sveedish town of Vallsta (180 miles north of Stockholm): do not wear gray. Some folks can get a teensy bit testy over it.
Guess Which SEAL Team. . .
It is Monday, which means: time to play our favorite game – guess which SEAL Team!?!
Look at the below picture verrrrry carefully before guessing. Is it SEAL Team 2? Or maybe, quite possibly, the shadowy operators from SEAL Team 6? Could be, could be:
Which SEAL Team?
Go here for the answer. Hope you’ve polished your Polish, you’re gonna need it!
Afghans Are Angry?
I don’t know the Guardian’s political bent, but when I see the headline: Afghans angry at US soldiers who drove away in the night leaving rent unpaid, I think, is it too much to ask Afghans to do something for their sandlot? How much more blood should we squeeze for their wee acre of heaven?
Rack Time
Love Navy Times, but I am guessing this picture is miscaptioned:
Preggers Terrorist, Morgan Gliedman
This is Morgan Gliedman: she’s dating a Harvard grad and is a daughter to prominent New Yorkers:
Morgan Gliedman
And she was just arrested (along with her baby daddy Aaron Greene) with: a plastic container with seven grams of a white chemical powder called HMTD, which is so powerful, cops evacuated several nearby buildings. Police also found a flare launcher, which is a commercial replica of a grenade launcher; a modified 12 gauge Mossberg 500 shotgun; ammo; and nine high-capacity rifle magazines, the sources said. Cops also allegedly uncovered papers about creating homemade booby traps, improvised submachine guns, and various handwritten notebooks containing chemical formulas.
Nod with me on this one, if you guessed Occupy Wall Street, you would be right. Now I am no gynecologist, but Morgan is nine months preggers. Which means in a couple of days, weeks max (provided Morgan is human and not an elephant) a wittle 99&er is going to come squirting out. Glad the coppers found all that explodey stuff. Could be dangerous with the little guy around and all. . .
Unhappy Duck Call
We are raising a whole city of unhappy ducks. The town is Hollywood and the ducks are “our” actresses. Case number 25727521a: Miss Rose McGowan. Plastic surgery is literally changing her species. The good news for her boyfriend, Davey Detail, is that it’s duck season. The bad news: he better watch out for hunters. Birdshot stings. Oooof!
Demand A Plan, Demand Celebrities
Demand a Plan, Demand Celebrities
You probably need to watch this anti-hypocrisy YouTube video, Demand A Plan – Demand Celebrities Go F*** Themselves, right now.
It features all the serious actors and actresses from the original post-Newtown video demanding that we do something about gun control. Except it shows clips of their violent movies. In frame after frame.
Whoever came up with it was a genius. Screw copyright laws. Let them – the celebrities, the production companies or the movie studios – sue. It will only get it more publicity.
US Combat Vet Needs Help
Sean Halpin, a Combat Medic in the U.S. Army, is in need of some emergency assistance. He is legit, one of the biggest civilian supporters of the troops in the blogosphere has worked with him in the past. Do go visit. . .
Sheena Monnin Is Shocked (I Tell Ya)
Sheena Monnin
Tonight, we are struggling which of the stories on Sheena Monnin to post. I’ll let you choose. You can read: Pa. beauty queen says she’s shocked by $5M ruling.
Or perhaps, you prefer the national flavor of this one: US beauty queen says she’s ‘shocked’ by ruling that she owes Miss USA pageant $5 million. Yahoo, you gotta make up your mind and then let your editors know.
Per the Miss USA website, Miss Pennsylvania Sheena Monnin believes her strongest talent is being an attentive and heartfelt listener. Sheena describes herself as persistent, focused and compassionate. Not trying to be snarky, but you could probably add talkative to Sheena’s strengths/weaknesses.
Al-Qaida and Groupon, a Match Made in Paradise?
Al-Qaida’s branch in Yemen has a media arm called the al-Malahem Foundation. And these generous souls are offering 5 million Yemeni riyals ($23,000) to any jihadi who kills an American soldier inside Yemen. They are passing out coupons and the fine-print reads that the offer is valid for only six months.
Groupon initially was interested in working with the jihadi entrepreneurs over at al-Malahem, but not with the chintzy, six month caveat. It violates their corporate charter.
Fishing with Van Hughes and Sarah
Sarah fishing with Van Hughes
I’ve been fishing four times over the last year. And I must confess, the only fish I’ve hooked have been mental. As in, in my mind.
I had a monstrous 14 inch rainbow trout swim right by my Powerbait. And I imagined it taking a bite of my hook. But nnnnnnooooo.
To salve my fishing nerves, I watched this video by Van Hughes and his friend Sarah. It was filmed in Cherry Grove in Myrtle Beach. And in it, Sarah loses a 5lb red drum to a bull shark. You read that right, a bull shark. Caution, standby for some explosive f-bombs. Sarah lets lose on a stream of them. I don’t blame her. As far as I can tell, it was not photoshopped. The team rehooks the shark here. . .
Gotta Get Some Blueberries
The Navy Working Uniform (NWU) is commonly called aquaflage or blueberries. And I gotta buy two more sets for my next job. The uniform offers dubious camouflagery. Although, in terms of camo, I don’t think the designers had this in mind when they came up with ‘em.
Scotty’s On Lexington in New York City
New York is a city of postcards. Each neighborhood, a collection of photographs. Sometimes, I see a street corner and know I’ve been there. But I can’t place it. Recently, there was an underground steam-pipe explosion on Lexington Avenue. And in the background, I recognized a diner called Scotty’s:

Click here to order food online from Scotty’s. Of course, you have to be in New York City. As for me, I would get the Gyro Sandwich for $10.25. Deeelish.
