Things That Amuse You

[rideit]

As with many things, YMMV. However, I highly suspect your kids go to a pretty good school. Perhaps that school generally has students with parents that maybe even care a bit. Sadly, much of our country's schools are in far worse shape. Particularly in lower income areas.

Yeah, good thing so many republicans in red states value education highly, and aggressively demand higher salaries for teachers, and sufficient school bonds and taxes.

Fun fact: Spending per student seems to matter little when it comes to the results. Wife's been spending an inordinate amount of time helping out some of the states with the highest spending per student yet somehow some of the worst scores in the country. No hard and fast rule to it though if you look at the stats.

The ONE factor that seems to determine outcome more than anything is home life. You can throw all the $$$ you'd ever want at the issue, but if the kid's parents don't care or are woefully uneducated themselves, then there's only so much you can do. Conversely I've witnessed schools that suuuuuuck but since they're in an affluent area, thus well educated parents who care, the kids do well in SPITE of their shitty education.

Parenting and home life. THAT'S what determines outcomes more than any other factor there is.

I was just going to send my friend the dick in a box video, but I mis-typed "divk in a box" and the suggestion was, "do you mean duck in a box?" [emoji23]

Justin is a good skier and I’ve ridden lifts with him. Casual guy who tries to stay under the radar. First time I met him was in my office.

Did he come by to pick up a box?

The gift that keeps on giving:

Holy smokes - that woman's got a concussion for sure. You had me all excited for the obvious slip and fall especially after their overconfident statements, but geez I feel bad for her. That was one hell of a whack to the head.

I enjoy running myself, but running in that snow is a stupid fucking idea. Just go for a walk FFS.

When "news" articles from formerly respectable outlets cite people in comment sections of relevant topics, but the Reddit or Twitter users have hilarious names.

Saw someone cite something like JizzyMcFarthole today. Some solid journalisming there, folks. I about spit my coffee out when I saw that I was laughing so hard

Slipped and fell on it while naked. Happens all the time.

PS. That takes trench warfare to another level.

PPS. Ouch, took it out via abdominal surgery

Anything can be a dildo if you're brave enough

Reminds me of a story a friend told us back when he was in med school, doing a stint in the ER. We'd always ask him what funny stuff he'd seen recently. One day he tells us about this 70-some year old man that came in to the ER the previous weekend. Guy was flamboyantly gay, and had gone to a party the night before and got blackout drunk. When he woke up he couldn't walk, too painful. They sent him for xrays which showed some sort of ball lodged in his rectum. They had to put him under to get it out with multiple people spreading legs/cheeks and pulling on clamps because the thing was suctioned in so hard. Turned out it was an 8-ball.

No shit. My wife could do better and she's 69. (She once had a scholarship to the San Francisco Ballet school. But we went to some C and W barn dance and won an award--for the most amusing couple. She stopped dancing after that.)

I saw a bumper sticker yesterday, “Condoms Prevent Minivans”.

While that’s kind of funny on its own, what really amused me was that the sticker was on a Toyota Sienna.

Not sure if I should be amused or annoyed but these guys were riding up and down Box Canyon rd this week. Curvy road with minimal shoulder, and heavy vehicle traffic that hauls ass. What could go wrong? Guessing they are on rentals with the hi viz vests.
