New Year 2014

Every man should be born again on the first day of January. Start with a fresh page. Take up one hole more in the buckle if necessary, or let down one, according to circumstances; but on the first of January let every man gird himself once more, with his face to the front, and take no interest in the things that were and are past. 

- Henry Ward Beecher

Life Tip: Getting passed on a roadway.

So today I'm going to share with you all a very important life tip.

- The next time someone passes you on a roadway, keep following them until they stop. Proceed to get out of your vehicle with a baseball bat & smash out one of their headlights (or their windows if you're feeling adventurous) If the person notices you & starts cursing & making threats as to why you smashed their car, proceed to bash their face in with your baseball bat until they're out cold in a bloody mess. Thak a refreshing sip of their blood as a sign of victory. Get back into your vehicle & drive away. If that doesn't suite you whip out your handgun & start shooting at them until their vehicle crashes in a ditch.

Confession: I suck at driving.

High. So you know what's annoying? - Driving. Yes driving. Now I'm not the best driver around, but when it comes to others there's just no competition. Seriously driving takes a ton of practice to be some what professional; you're not going to be a pro when you get your plastic license so what's new? Oh you got your drivers license so you're a professional driver now? BULL SHIT. A piece of plastic guarantees nothing! Honestly people enough...moving on.. Yes I'm not a good driver, I admit to making a few driving errors (some to consider rage induced "you're a Fucking moron, just going to get yelled at until the person turns purple in the face) mentality, the point is I'm not a good driver! Today being the exception. So while I was driving to my parents home after running around doing after Boxing day deals/errands (as I am going to call it) I approached a Stop sign not thinking about anything else I casually rode through the stop sign & out of nowhere Another vehicle honks their horn at me. Side note: Now being honked at is extremely offensive to me. Do I look like a fucking prostitute? Do I look like I want to have a good time? Hell no. If I make an error dumb enough to to get honked at I think *g-d this person is a fucking moron does not know how to drive, must be a woman* Seriously getting honked at is like being called a racial epithet or being called stupid right in your face, it's downright offensive tome. Think what you what, I don't care still I hate getting honked for making such errors. Anyway I hear the other goys car yelling at because I went to soon after a Stop sign. So what do I do acknowledge the the other goy & continue driving through the intersection rather quickly unharmed. A few feet later I noticed the vehicle stopped for a second thinking maybe it's going to turn around or something, but somehow I think just pissed off that driver for not looking. If there is anything I'm good at it's pissing people off. Even if it's unintentional still I manage to piss people off. Even if it's a silly driving error I never hear the end of it. I'm just "fuck this, I don't give a flying pig what you think" so I'm just going to yawn it off. If you are a person who takes this sort of thing seriously I feel sorry for you. It's unhealthy to hold grudges, but hey who am I to judge? Right? So that's the third time I got honked at for making a silly driving error. Want to fight about it?! The next time I get honked at so help me Satan I will Slam on my breaks, get out of my vehicle, approach the yelling vehicle & whip out a hand gun, proceed to then smash the window while cursing at the driver, mercilessly beat the driver until bloody submission bust out a head light, then get into my car & drive away with a sense of accomplishment *like a boss*

Anyway that's all for my crazy rant. Did you make it this far? If so, give this post a "Like" by hitting the "Thumbs Up" it really helps a lot. HAHA just kidding! I don't think you can do that... Yea so if you made it through the post give yourself a pat on the back or on the knee, or whatever you yen. If you did like it give me a comment on your worst driving mistake, Until next post, I will see soon.

World's Jews Celebrate Christmas With Ceremonial Re-Murdering Of Christ

Via TheOnion
JERUSALEM—As Christians everywhere celebrate the birth of Christ this holiday season, the world's approximately 14 million Jews are also commemorating the special holiday, as they do each year, by ceremonially re-murdering the Baby Jesus. Details of the time-honored Jewish tradition include the baking of a baby-shaped potato pancake, which is filled with beet juice and then beheaded by a demon-horned rabbi using a specially blessed "baby-killing" knife. "I love devouring Christians' young almost as much as corrupting maidens," said Benjamin Levy, 89. "It's a magical time for all." The re-murdering is among the most important celebrations of the Jewish calendar, second only to the springtime "Poisoning of the Easter Wells" festival.

6 Not-So-Jolly Christmas Carols

Via mentalfloss

- You can always tell when Christmas is just around the corner. The radio starts playing cheery holiday favorites like Nat King Cole's "Christmas Song" and Eartha Kitt's version of "Santa Baby." Bands of merry carolers wander the streets harmonizing Christmas classics like "Silent Night" and "Jingle Bells." But there are some Christmas songs that don't get a lot of attention because they're dark, even by non-holiday song standards.

12 Terrible Pieces of Advice for Pregnant Women

Via Mentalfloss:

- When you’re pregnant, your body is in one very literal sense no longer completely your own. But in another, more uncomfortable sense, it’s become a public entity—because complete strangers think it’s absolutely fine to comment on what you’re eating, how you’re exercising (or not, in my case), even how you’re walking. We’ve compiled some of the best worst pregnancy advice through the ages. Please don't tell any pregnant women they shouldn't look at monkeys

5 Surprising Things We Feed Cows

motherjones -

In addition to the old standbys of corn, soy, hay (and, uh, drugs), "there's a lot of stuff which the general public might not think of as feeds which are actually quite common," says Cory Parsons, a livestock nutrition expert at Oregon State University. For example:

Sawdust: Decades ago, when Bob Batey, an eastern Iowa entrepreneur, observed cows gobbling up sawdust hosed down from his paper mill, he had an idea: Why not make the stuff into a commercial cattle feed? Sawdust is made largely of cellulose, a carbohydrate, but it's bound together with a compound called lignin, which makes it hard to digest. To strip the lignin, Batey soaked some of the stuff in nitric acid, and voilà! The cows were ready to chow down. "They like it," he says. "It's good for them. It's economical. And it's green."

But it was only after a 2012 drought laid waste to local hay and grass that Batey put his idea into action. He teamed up with local feed producers to devise a mix of sawdust, corn, vitamins, and minerals. While ranchers have not yet widely adopted the sawdust feed, Byron Leu, a regional beef specialist at Iowa State University, said with corn prices high, the stuff could catch on "pretty fast." The Iowa City Gazette noted that in tests, the cows ate the stuff "like candy." Speaking of which…

Candy, wrapper and all: Ranchers report feeding their beef steers and dairy cows a variety of bulk candy, including gummy worms, marshmallows, hard candy, sprinkles, chocolate, candy corn, and hot chocolate mix. Candy provides sugar that cows would usually get from corn, giving them more energy and making them fatter. When corn prices skyrocketed, the practice became popular: In fall 2012, one candy supplier who sells farmers and ranchers "salvage" chocolate—that's imperfect and broken chocolates—said the price of the stuff had recently doubled.

In some cases, ranchers found, the candy feed comes wrapped. Asked if he was concerned about his cattle eating plastic, one animal nutrition expert in Tennessee said he was not worried. "I think it would pass through just like excess fiber would."

Chicken shit: What's not to love about the fecal waste of America's 36-million-plus broiler chickens? It's plentiful and cheap. But according to a recent OnEarth story by Brad Jacobson, the problem may be less the poop itself than the smorgasbord of other substances it frequently comes with, including feathers, heavy metals, bacteria, antibiotics, and bits of rodents. Jacobson also notes that the practice could promote the spread of mad cow disease.

Ground limestone: Strange as feeding rocks to cows may sound, limestone can be found in cattle troughs all over the United States. The stuff is a cheap source of calcium, and it also seems to promote growth. As one study put it, cows that ate limestone late in life "tended to have more desirable carcasses" than cows that didn't.

Crab guts: For ranchers and feedlots near the coast, the guts and other undesirable parts of fish, crabs, shrimp, and crawfish can be an abundant source of cheap protein. Ground up into a tasty meal, seafood byproducts can be mixed into other feeds. Fish-meal cattle feed isn't a new idea; Marco Polo observed in his diary that cows ate it "without any sign of dislike."

The Ten Worst Flags in the World

(Based on design)

The flag of a nation, usually you want it to be a strong symbol for your country, a beautiful and powerful image that your country can rally behind. Maybe the flag symbolizes important aspects of the country, like the rising sun of the Japanese flag, or the 50 stars of the American flag.
Some counties though, well, let's just say they put the bar a little lower.
So, without further distraction, check out the 10 worst flag ideas in the world!

10. Bangladesh
Now this flag could have been a good idea, after all, it is the beautiful Japanese flag, only with one minor adjustment. Unfortunately, adjusting the background color to a very unsightly green didn't do much to elevate this design. And anyways, just ripping off another design and changing the colors a bit? That works in web design, but when you're creating a flag for a country, it would be nice to see a little more effort than a copy and paste.

9. Nepal
We've all done it, we've sat around with our friends, having a few beers, just shooting the breeze and coming up with these excellent ideas that would just be totally craaaaazy! Like, we should pave the streets with money, that way no one would be poor, and other ideas that are great while drunk, but mercifully forgotten the next day. True, some times you will find that some less fortunate ideas and experiments might have broken one of your limbs, or worse got put on youtube, but in a couple of weeks, that stuff just fades away and no one will think of it again.

That's what happened with the Nepal flag, some guys were sitting around, smoking some opium, and started talking about their flag. "Wouldn't it be AWESOME if the flag was a triangle instead of a square!" (giggles) "No, no, wait, what if it was a triangle on top of a triangle!!!". That's what happened, but for some reason this crazy idea actually became reality, against all good judgment. To this day, the Nepali flag serves as a slap in the face, of those poor folks who came up with this idea, never really meant to survive into sober reality. Not to mention the hate that Nepal gets from flag makers world wide.

8. Libya
Yeah, I get it, I get what you tried to do here. Green is the colour of Islam, and the flag represent that there is nothing above Islam and the flag is a representation of a clean tribute to your religion. But COME ON! You guys have the chance to do anything you want with the flag, get creative, put some soul and effort into the design, and of all the possibilities, the best your country's designers can come up with is this? A blank green canvas? I truly and honestly feel, that if a flag like this is the very best you can come up with, you don't deserve to have your own country. Give the country to someone else, someone who will at least try.

7. Swaziland
In a way, I kind of like this flag, if it wasn't a flag, but maybe some interesting wall art at the World Market, I might quite like it. The colours go well together and the design is interesting. Unfortunately, this is not a kitchen towel, but a national flag, and as a national flag, this is just no good. While I am sure the shield and spears are traditional and part of Swaziland culture, it just sends the wrong message having weapons in your flag, not to mention the poor school children in Swaziland, trying to make an accurate drawing of this flag for independence must be a nightmare.

6. Christmas Islands
Actually, The Christmas Islands deserve recognition for avoiding some of the most obvious lichee's that must have been tempting for the designers if the flag, there's no Santa Claus or Christmas trees in the flag, and for that I applaud you, Christmas Islands. However, after avoiding some embarrassingly obvious pitfalls, the wheels quickly fell of the wagon for the designer on this one. First of all, the color combination blue green is challenging to begin with, and in this particular effort, they clash with great vigor. To make matters worse, there's a weird blob in the middle of the flag. Presumably a map of the island which is a horrible idea to begin with, but to make matters worse, the shape looks like a snail on a twig to anyone not intimately familiar with Christmas Island geography. Simply awful, and I haven't even mentioned the big yellow bird thing.

5. Belize
This flag could have been okay, not great, but okay. If they had left it at the blue with the two red stripes, no one would ever think twice about this flag. It would meddle with the many other unspectacular but good enough flags out there. Well, Belize just had to slap a big weird coat of arms in the middle of their flag and propel it right to the bottom of flag designs. Apparently lumber jacking is a big deal in Belize, fair enough,but did you really need to put a picture of a lumberjack right there on the flag? And what is the baseball player doing next to him? The flag goes from weird to downright creepy when you translate the motto though: 'I flourish in the shadow'... Two guys with an ax and a bat that flourish in the shadow? That sounds like they are looking to mug someone. Creepy.

4. Kazakhstan
The more colours you try to put in a flag design, the more likely you are to fail, keeping it simple will often be a good idea. So, Kazakhstan has that going for them, a limited color palette. If you decide to make your palette yellow and blue however, you are rolling the dice of good taste. These colors are harder to match than many others, only a handful countries have tried, and even fewer have succeeded. Kazakhstan on the other hand, has come up with the worst of all the yellow and blue designs, they have possibly picked the two shades of blue and yellow that are the least compatible, and topped it off with some horrible designs. Now, if they had just put the sun in the center of the flag, and left it at that, this flag would be nowhere this list, but for some unknown reason, it felt imperative to put in a badly drawn eagle soaring right into the sun. At this point, it seems like the flag designers gave up, realized failure and just added some traditional pattern to also unbalance the flag and make it horribly complicated.

3. Turkmenistan
In a way, I feel sympathy for the people who set out to create the flag for this new nation. Obviously, they felt compelled to underline the country's Islamic roots and so the green flag with the white crescent and stars becomes a confining starting template, when you also need to add an orange oriental carpet design to your flag, it's very difficult to create something that is not horribly ghastly. To difficult for whomever created this flag apparently, as the flag is horribly ghastly.

2. Central African Republic (Central Africa)
Many flags have been made incredibly busy by adding elaborate drawings and colorful complex patterns, the Central African Republic on the other hand, has managed to make an incredibly busy flag with just five straight lines, and one lonely star. While this flag looks horrible enough as it is, if it is seen waving in the wind, it actually induces seizures.

1. Guam
Guam might feel that the rank is unfair, and they have a point. This is the only of the US territories that have made it to this list, but that is just to spread the shame a little, the US territories generally have flags so awful that they could probably lay claim to the entire list. Well, only one was picked, and the one picked Guam. This flag is horrible, it looks like they just bought a t-shirt from the nearest souvenir shop and put it on a flag pole. Even if this is the case, I have a hard time believing that they couldn't find a better looking t-shirt.

The 7 Worst Gifts People Seem to Give Every Christmas

Cracked:

Now, to be fair, we can forgive the "useless" part of that description. Novelties are by definition often pretty useless. However, that doesn't mean they need to be worthless pieces of shit.

Remember Big Mouth Billy Bass? The people who make it are convinced that more of those were sold than Tickle Me Elmos, which sold in the millions. That means potentially tens of millions of Big Mouth Billy Basses are littered across the globe, their gaping maws collecting dust after the one and only time someone allowed it to sing "Don't Worry, Be Happy" before it was thrown in a rage in a corner to be forgotten forever by everyone.

Clearly Big Mouth Billy Bass was one of the most popular novelty gifts of all time. It's a singing fish. If Big Mouth Billy Bass were a person, it would be a mime who can only do the "stuck in a box" routine and occasionally moans or grunts during the act. Why would you dream of inflicting that on anyone?

A novelty gift is basically the last defense against giving someone a $5 bill for Christmas. It's your subconscious' way of saying "Fuccccccccccccck" and just rolling over to have a dissatisfied, fitful nap.

What is Chai?

Chai (pronounced as a single syllable and rhymes with 'pie') is the word for tea in many parts of the world. It is a centuries-old beverage which has played an important role in many cultures.

Chai from India is a spiced milk tea that has become increasingly popular throughout the world. It is generally made up of:

• rich black tea
• heavy milk
• a combination of various spices
• a sweetener

The spices used vary from region to region and among households in India. The most common are cardamom, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and pepper. Indian chai produces a warming, soothing effect, acts as a natural digestive aid and gives one a wonderful sense of well being. It's difficult to resist a second cup.
Drinking chai is part of life in India and most Indian's are amazed at all the current fuss in the West. Many who have traveled in India come away with fond chai drinking experiences. We have included many of these in our Chai Experiences section.

 In the past three years we've seen a phenomenal growth in the popularity and interest in chai. Chai has become very common at over-the-counter specialty beverage shops and there is a growing line of prepackaged consumer products. Many industry analysts are predicting that chai will eventually become as popular and common as coffee lattes and cappuccinos.

Great chai can often be found in Indian restaurants along with great food, but making your own chai provides immense satisfaction (and makes the house smell yummy!). Recipes and tastes for chai vary widely and a multitude of chai recipes are used around the world

Indian grocers carry various chai masala mixes which you can use to make your own chai. Commercially produced concentrates can be found at many health food grocers and coffee shops. Ingredients for making your own chai are available just about everywhere. See our Recipes Section for a wide variety of chai recipes.

Of course the modern world has elevated chai to new planes of experience--chai ices, milkshakes, chocolate chai, non-fat, low-cal sweeteners, decaf, and so on. We have included a section on New Chai Serving Ideas.

We prefer traditional freshly made chai: hot, creamy, fragrant with black tea, fresh cardamom, cinnamon, ginger, peppercorns and enough sugar to bring out the spice flavor. While we personally drink regular tea without sugar, chai must have sweetness or the spices seem to lose their full robustness.

How To Use a Douche

(Excerpt) Using a douche can be scary & potentially dangerous, so it's important that you know how to use one correctly before you attempt to insert it into your egg hole. A douche is a device used to introduce a stream of water into the body for medical or hygienic reasons. Doctors highly recommended that you use a douche no more than once a month, as it can potentially unbalance your egg hole & cause your yolk to taste like an egg salad sandwich. Goodluck.

10 Most Disturbing Pokemon

'If it ain't broke, don't fix it'; a sentiment that no video game franchise embodies as succinctly as Pokemon. That shouldn't be taken as an insult, since even the people developing the series maintain that like any lasting sport or game, Pokemon doesn't need to change to stay relevant.

Instead, the developers at Game Freak simply iterate upon each element of gameplay, introduce new creatures for players to collect, and let marketing take care of the rest.

As the franchise closes in on twenty years - and prepares to add yet another Nintendo console to its resume - we thought we'd look back; not on the games or creatures that we most treasure, but the ones that keep us up at night.

Here are the 10 Most Disturbing Pokemon Facts.
 
Gothita Sees Dead People

Name: Gothita
Type: Psychic

It's disturbing enough that Gothita, this Pokemon's starting form resembles a baby that "stares at something only it can see," but once it evolves into Gothorita at Level 32, its creep factor gets sent sky high. With hypnosis mastered, the creature "steals people away at night." Whether it steals people away as offerings to the thing "only it can see" is impossible to know.

Once the evolution to Gothitelle is achieved at Level 41, this creature uses its psychic abilities to see the future, specifically the death of their trainer. While useful in combat, having this Pokemon in one's arsenal is just too creepy. You can always look on the bright side: if Gothitelle isn't hypno-kidnapping its trainer, it's probably only because it knows death is imminent.
 

Can't. Stop. Hopping.

Name: Spoink
Type: Psychic

If you're looking for a precocious and spunky critter to keep by your side, then Spoink fits the bill. Sure, it's a little weird that the pig-headed Pokemon uses a giant pink pearl on its head to amplify its psychic abilities, but the way it hops around on the spring it possesses in place of a body? Adorable!

Until you learn that the springing isn't a sign of Spoink's rambunctious attitude, but required to live. That's right; if Spoink stops springing, he stops breathing. Stops doing pretty much anything, really. Try to imagine what kind of paranoia results when death is just a misstep away, and it suddenly becomes easier to understand why Spoink is also a kleptomaniac, ever pursuing a bigger and better pearl.

Cry For Me, Child
Name: Duskull
Type: Ghost

Sure, ghosts are always spooky, and it's no mystery why this Pokemon - styled after the Grim Reaper - puts us on edge. But the single glowing eye sliding back and forth between eye sockets is just the tip of the iceberg where additional eeriness is concerned. Duskull is a nocturnal Pokemon, mostly inhabiting dense forests (obviously), but isn't interested in woodland creatures, only children.

This floating Pokemon is rumored to pursue kids who don't follow the rules. Why? Because it enjoys the sound of them crying. But hey, it's not all creepy; once Duskull evolves into Dusclops, it is capable of swallowing anything into its body cavity, never to be seen again. We'll let you use your imagination.

Delicious Nightmares

Name: Drowzee

Type: Psychic

We don't know if there's something about Psychic type Pokemon that brings out the most troubling in the developers, but Drowzee is yet another hypnotizing critter that makes our skin crawl. The aptly-named Pokemon puts its enemies to sleep, so that it may more easily feast on its dreams. While that certainly places Drowzee under the 'odd' column among the series' more fun-loving Pokemon, it's actually based on the Japanese "baku"; spirits that fed on people's nightmares.

But what it loves most is the dreams of children. We don't know why, and don't want to either. In case Drowzee's powers weren't enough of an invasion of privacy, it also remembers every dream it's consumed, and shares them with those sleeping near them. How many pets can do that?!


Grimer a.k.a. Walking Death

 Name: Grimer

Type: Poison

It's disgusting enough that Grimer spends its time in polluted water, feasting on pollution and sewage to survive, but get this Pokemon moving through the world and it will never be the same. Literally; any time Grimer passes over the grond, its toxic slime (grime?) renders the earth incapable of ever again supporting life. If that wasn't hellish enough, the slime also sprouts new Grimers to continue the catastrophe.

It's not all bad, though. Once Grimer evolves into Muk, it gets bigger, and more poisonous; capable of rendering an entire lake toxic with a single drop, and infecting any human being if it desires. Why was a Pokemon this dangerous and unattractive created in the first place? Who knows. Maybe the developers thought Mother Nature should be as terrorized as actual people.

Parasite Evil
Name: Paras
Type: Bug/Grass

While Paras' symbiotic relationship with the mushrooms on its back isn't exactly normal, it is beneficial for both; Paras feeds the mushrooms with its body, and the fungus provides additional means of defense. Exactly how much control the mushrooms can exert over the Pokemon isn't clear, but odd goes to disturbing when Paras evolves into Parasect.

It's hard to say exactly what change takes place at Level 24, but for some reason, the mushrooms take their chance and merge into a single organism, taking over the Paras in the process. With heightened aggression and a pair of zombified milky eyes, anything cute or endearing about Paras is replaced by a demonic drone known as Parasect.


Murder Balloon
Name: Drifloon
Type: Ghost/Flying

How scary can a Pokemon based on a floating balloon be? Sure, it's got a pair of tiny hands, but what devious use could such a lighthearted creature have for them? According to the Pokedex, they're used to "steal children away," with the Japanese version clarifying that Drifloon is taking children to "the world of the dead." Were the developers given a bonus every time they created a Pokemon that would make parents uncomfortable?

The good news is that Drifloon doesn't remain a purple, harmless-looking balloon with an interest in kidnapping children; at level 28 Drifloon evolves into Drifblim, trading its spindly arms for... four stronger ones. And its eyes turn red. Sleep tight, kiddies.
  
There Will Be Tears

Name: Yamask
Type: Ghost

As proof that not every Pokemon has a complicated or inspired name, we give you Yamask. It's a ghost, holding a mask. We don't mean that this Pokemon is a Ghost type, it is an actual ghost of a human being who has died; the mask it carries is a representation of the one it used to have while living. That bit of character history creeps us out for obvious reasons, but the developers went into even greater depth.

Besides occasionally staring at the mask and breaking into tears, Yamask has an even more sinister side. Since the mask itself carries traces of the Yamask's human identity, someone wearing it will allow the Pokemon to possess them. To what end? Who knows. If trends hold though, we'd put our money on kidnapping children. Once it evolves into Cofagrigus, this Pokemon uses its sarcophagus body to lure in humans and Pokemon, and turn them into zombified mummies.

Geppetto's Nightmare

Name: Banette
Type: Ghost

There's no need to explain why Banette gives us the willies, since the most apt description of this creature is "a doll-like Pokemon that is possessed with pure hatred." You see, Banette wasn't always a Pokemon, but a doll that was driven into being by the hatred felt toward the child that abandoned it. That's already the stuff of nightmares, but the creators went farther, making Banette poke itself with needles to generate energy for its attacks, and even sporting a zipper in place of a mouth.

What makes Banette even more disturbing is that it evolves from Shuppet - a fairly adorable little ball of grey that is drawn to peoples' feelings of envy. We guess it's poetic that evolving lets Shuppet turn that envy into action, but.... a zipper mouth? Do they know kids play these games?

Mommy Issues

Name: Cubone
Type: Ground

From first glance, Cubone is about as cool as a pet could possibly be. Essentially a dinosaur, Cubone walks on its hind legs, swings a bone club, and wears a skull over its face, peeking out from under it like a little kid trying to appear tough for his friends. But in the vast expanse of Pokemon, Cubone might just be the most disturbed of them all. You see, that skull isn't just part of a Halloween costume, or a trinket Cubone discovered while navigating a Looney Tunes desert. It belongs to its mother.

Apparently it wasn't enough for Cubone to simply cry in the night for his lost mother, and a more literal connection was needed. We're not going to ask how Cubone actually acquired the skull of his mother, but things get creepier when it evolves into Marowak. No longer simple ornamentation, the skulls fuses itself to the Pokemon upon evolution, meaning this creature is permanently attached to his mother in a way Norman Bates would envy.
