Just got back from seeing The Avengers.
Yes, Joss Whedon is my master now. I think he just wrote and directed the biggest movie of 2012. What a blast! If you like superhero movies at all, you’ll love this one. I’ll pay to see it again.

A repost, but a good one!
Today’s User Friendly cartoon – a recycled one, as a matter of fact, but still funny and (unfortunately) accurate:
Robb’s got a great meme going on the Republican bumpersticker format, but I’m not as creative or talented as he is. What I am good at is recycling other people’s ideas. Here’s one from the depths of 2009, done by Bubba of What Bubba Knows that pretty much says what Robb’s stickers say without using a single word:

Dr. Sarah “Stickwick Stapers” sent me a link to this video. I think it’s quite appropriate here the day before the Left “celebrates” Victims of Communism Day. Watch it all the way to the end for the payoff:

You know, as a blogger, you’re just not sure if you’re reaching anyone unless you get some negative feedback from time to time.
I received an email this afternoon from one “Chris Carlsen” – no subject line, just two sentences of missive and a sigline:
Your(sic), sir, are a fucking idiot. Good day.
I replied:
Good to know you care! Don’t be a stranger. Keep in touch.

I have no idea just what offended him enough to fire off, but hey, I must be doing something right!
Jim of the blog Smoke on the Water (where he doesn’t post much these days) has re-written the lyrics to that classic ditty How Much is That Doggie in the Window? and has allowed me to premier it here first at TSM:

Don’t blame me, I’m just the messenger!
Propofol, which nickname is “Milk of Amnesia.” Michael Jackson was taking Propofol to sleep, which is like doing chemotherapy because you’re tired of shaving your head.
I woke up from my heart surgery after propofol – I had the surgery in Cleveland – after propofol I woke up from the surgery and said “Where am I?” and they went “Cleveland!” and I went, WHY?
Seen here.
