Daily WTF? (closed to submissions)
Maybe you've tried your hand at blogging. I have. It was fun while it lasted, but it still seemed kind of solitary. Who cares about one person's view out the porthole?
I want to move beyond the scope of simple blogging and make it more interactive. Simply put, the concept behind "Daily WTF?" is a blog supported - or refuted - by stories, poems, and other wry commentary, all contributed by my friends here at WEbook.
Come on in, the water's fine!

Today I saw a bumpersticker that said something like "cops and kids make a powerful team." Nazi youth anyone?

Once upon a time, I traveled in a car with a portable boom box on my lap, new duracel batteries inserted in for the long drive south. Would as it may be, while driving on I-80 through Wyoming, I happened to feel my leg begin to itch. Reaching down to scratch it, I felt a wet, slick substance covering my right leg. Curious, I lifted up the boom box to see what it could be and saw battery acid pouring out of the bottom of the player.
In yelling about said battery acid, my mother, driving the car, crossed two lanes of traffic in one swing of her arm and pulled over to the side of the road. She then proceeded to tell me to get out and take my pants off.
Without a moment's hesitation, I jumped out of the car and stripped off my battery-acid covered jeans, thus leaving me on the side of the interstate with no pants on.
Now, isn't that an interesting thing to have happen on the first day of a long car trip?

A short Indian story:
The Creator told the assembled animals: "I have a gift for mankind; his own creativity built in my own true image. But I do not want them to find it until they are developed enough to use it. Where can I hide it?"
The Eagle said "I will fly it to the moon." The Creator said "No, someday they will go there & find it."
The buffaloe said "I will bury it on the high plains" The Creator said, "No, someday they will dig there & find it."
Finally the mole, with his squinty eyes said "Bury it within themselves."
The Creator said "Good. It is done."
Cute story, hey? The doorway to All is the Self, Serving. The mind being but another organ in the band.

Fathers come home from war dehumanized, with their morals all afloat or galvanized to justify the mighty big holes that have been blown in their souls.
They spread this dis-ease to their families while trying to do good and counteract the damage done.
Every American generation has a War to go to. The pockets of the rich are lo0aded with the bits & pieces of soul gleaned from American human Beans.

Thanks.

Ok that opening sentence was just subpar. Sorry. I just don't type as fast as I think.
I guess I should come up with a WTF as well. My knee jerk WTF would be the whole Fed bailout but that's only because I'm in finance. The jokes I'd make would be too obscure I'm sure.
Got one. You see a state trooper OUT OF HIS/HER CAR with someone ALREADY pulled over and yet you still slow down? They don't care about your speed. They aren't even monitoring their radar gun. They can't even SEE their gun. What do you think? They are going to guess your speed and run you down on foot? Shoot your tire out?
Just keep driving. I mean WTF.

OMFG I'm home!!! Captain Irreverent as you service.
Gee what to rag on first. So many headlines, so little time. Hmm maybe I'll just read some first and get inspired.
Remember my Webook ID 'cause I'll be the one having a ball pushing buttons and spouting and ranting (with the best possible grammar of course). Oh and there is a better avatar for this out there. I seed it. I saved the image for random doses of guaranteed laughter. I'll try to post it if I can.

Here is my WTF. Why so many people (that are already ugly) are are styling dreadlocks, to make themselves to look even uglier and threatening
9/24/2008 2:18 PM PDT
Okay, like WTF? And I said it like the "Whhhhaaaa th' Faaaack." Cuz, (which I believe by now should be a word in Websters) I'm originally from New York and I like the way that sounds. Here in Texas they "Whud da fuh?" I'm addicted to Stumble Upon, it's how I got here. Ironic.

No person shall tell fortunes or practice phrenology, palmistry or clairvoyancy in the city.
