Pho-king Awesome
There are two things to which Her Pinkness is addicted: bad puns and Pho (pronounced “fuh”). Oh, and possibly kittens, so maybe 3 things, but for the purposes of laziness and inaccuracy let’s call it two. When it comes to horrible puns and Pho, I will most always go out of my way, and [...]
Insufficient training?
Damien Whatley of Atlanta was recently suspended for three days by his employers after being caught texting on the job. Whatley’s employers learned of his texting after another man, Matthew Jones, complained then took a photo of Whatley texting and posted it it to Twitter.
Matthew Jones is probably sounding like a bit of [...]
And so do dogs
Usually when it’s a slow news day you get “Dog Bites Man” type stories, but one Knoxville news source seems to be confused about the placement of that “s.” In what one can only hope was the result of an attempt at running the most inane story ever to have existed, or [...]
A rainbow banner day
The Maine State House of Representatives voted in favor of legislation allowing for same-sex marriages today, while DC’s city council voted to recognize same sex marriages that have taken place in other jurisdictions. This is a huge day for civil rights, but these battles aren’t completely won.
The legislation passed by Maine’s House [...]
And also, “the business end”
What do you do when your pregnant wife starts feeling a little uncomfortable close to her due date? Google “how to deliver a baby,” and watch Youtube videos, of course! Marc Stephens, an engineer (dork, of course!) from Cornwall, did just that–and guess what? It came in handy! Whilst Mr. Stephens [...]
They got on like a House on fire
It seems to be a growing trend among our Bales to scream at crew members, but this time it was Hugh Laurie doing the yelling, and an assistant director with whom he was nearly done, professionally. While the Original Bale’s argument was over a lighting gaff, Hugh chose [...]
Commit yourself to the process
Based around the notion that pooping is a shared human experience, i.e., everybody poops, the fine folks at poopreport.com have declared April 17th Poop for Peace Day and want you to join them in laying logs of liberty. In their words:
Today, humanity stands on the brink. Iraq, Afghanistan, Darfur, Congo, Somalia, [...]
She’s a uniter, not a divider
Last week Republican Texas State Representative Betty Brown (The name Betty White was taken) caused a shit storm during House testimony on a voter ID bill. When asked to address issues concerning the potential challenges faced by Chinese-Americans under the proposed bill, Brown replied:
“Rather than everyone here having to learn [...]
Learn to spell, Mormon
This is why relying on a spellchecker’s auto-correct function is a bad idea. 18,500 copies of The Daily Universe, the student newspaper for Brigham Young University, a Mormon university, had to be recalled Monday after it went to print with a potentially embarrassing error. It seems a student journalist mistyped the word [...]
Arise, Sir Loin of Beef
Gordon Brown, the fat wonk-eyed Scot that took over for Tony Blair–you know, the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom? Yeah, that one. It seems he decided that Teddy Kennedy needed a knighthood. The Queen agreed. What? Exactly.
The honor was bestowed upon Kennedy on Tuesday night and was announced to a [...]
Happy St. David’s Day! (for those who don’t understand Welsh)
What the hell am I talking about, you ask? It’s simple, really. St. David’s day is the Welsh equivalent of St. Patrick’s Day. The difference being that the festivities don’t take place in Boston, Chicago or Ireland; they take place in Wales. For those of you [...]
Is Chris the New Bobby?
That may be a question best answered in the Thunderdome, but it does look as though he and the former (Current? Who knows? Who cares?) Mr. Houston have at least one thing in common. Rihanna and Chris Brown were both no-shows at the Grammy Awards last night due to what Rihanna’s [...]
Take That, Tony Danza!
A mere 24 hours after Bruce Springsteen sexually molested America by thrusting his crotch into the camera during his Super Bowl performance, New Jersey experienced an Earthquake. While we at ThunderSquee! aren’t scientists, we hypothesize that 4 million Jersey women simultaneously hitting the ground, throwing their legs over their head and bracing [...]
Here’s hoping his brother Rico doesn’t ruin his chances.
President Barack Obama is allegedly considering Republican Senator Judd Gregg of New Hampshire as Commerce Secretary, a Democratic source said on Thursday.
Were Gregg to leave the Senate, it could have interesting ramifications. The state’s governor, Democrat John Lynch, would have to name his replacement, and if he [...]
Why little Peter Tugman will probably end up an arsonist
Now there is scientific evidence to back up my advice on the naming of children. I sleep better knowing the world of science is working hard to keep up with my assertions.
