The World is Insane

My Dog, Snickers, just turned 14 years old. This is not major news although not many dogs reach that age. No the issue here is what I received from his veterinarian. Let me state that the Vet we go to are saints. They are truly nice people who obviously care vastly about animals – apparently a [...]

We have been out Snarked!

Apparently the people over at Newsweek.com, a publication we refer to quite a bit here on Blinkinblogs.com, posted an article recently on the who’s who of the interweb snarky bloggers world – and we failed to make the list. No surprise here really as we aren’t nearly as popular as most of the blowhards on [...]

Wooly Mammoth Brainstorm

We are all but recent leaves on the same old tree of life and if this life has adapted itself to new functions and conditions, it uses the same old basic principles over and over again. There is no real difference between the grass and the man who mows it. ~Albert Szent-Györgyi

Sucker Punch – Geek Porn

Every so often a Director is given the opportunity to take his teen age boy fantasies and turn them into a film. Well it turns out that Zack Snyder was given this opportunity given his track record for other Geek films that bordered on mental masturbation. Realize I am not complaining and I will see [...]

Grammar Nazi’s

One of my favorite author’s – Michael Sullivan had a great post on his amazon.com blog – no idea how to easily link it to just this old post so I’ll just quote it from :
“Children everywhere are raised to believe in absolutes. There are right ways and wrong ways of doing everything. This is [...]

What’s Up My Ninja?!

Pure awesomeness. Any time someone can make fun of the “N-word” or “N-Bomb” in a way that is both intelligent and funny I must applaud. We here at Blinkinblogs love to make fun of stereotypes, not those that the stereotypes are directed at, but the stereotypes themselves, and these guys do a great job. Well [...]

The Princess said “NO!”

And the Prince lived happily ever after and rode motorcycles
and went fishing and hunting
and dated women half his age and drank beer and whiskey
and had tons of money in the bank and [...]

More Lohan BS

So get this shiz: Lohan is going to jail, but will spend her entire stay in solitary. What a crock of shiznit. This is just more favoritism shown to famous people who screw up. Let us reverse positions for a moment.
Scenario: James, the inner city African American Male, skipped out on his probation. He goes to court [...]

What We Really Mean.

There are many terms that people say that sound good in principle but once you break them down you will quickly notice that they are not very good or kind at all. I have made mention to some of these in the past, and am now bringing them up in greater detail.

I often have these conversations with one of our content folks here at BB over IM. He thought it might be clever to convert those IM conversations to cartoon format – this is the first attempt. The engine he is using does text to speech thus the amusing way in which they speak. You may [...]
