Woman Who Complain About Long Lines at the Bathroom Have No one to Blame But Themselves

The Star - Last week we were in Venice, at St. Mark’s Square, visiting the famous Doge’s Palace. After appreciating the many elaborate rooms and masterpieces of art, it was time to experience one of its more practical attractions, the bathroom. It was an open unisex area, with common sinks for handwashing, and two stalls for men and two for women. While men breezed in and out of their half, at least 10 women stood waiting in line....For as long as there have been specific places designated as the right place to go, and that too as the right place for women to go, there has been a line of anxious women. Now, lineups outside women’s bathrooms in public places are common the world over, from Calgary’s Stampede grounds and Toronto’s Roy Thomson Hall to New Delhi’s Habitat Centre. This phenomenon is matched only by men hanging about outside the women’s bathroom, waiting for their female companions. “Women use the bathroom more than men. They spend more time in them, too. These must be little-understood truths; otherwise, there would be twice as many ladies’ bathrooms as men’s.”Several places have already recognized the need for potty parity. States such as New York, Virginia, Texas and California have passed a bathroom equity bill, demanding a 2 to 1 ratio of women’s toilets in public places. Hong Kong and Singapore also have such laws.

Umm, or you could quit whining, chatting, and doing whatever the hell else you guys are doing in there and get the hell out...You know why guys are quick in the bathroom? Because in general, public bathrooms are disgusting...we're not trying to make friends in their while jiggling our johnsons for a few extra shakes while getting your back story, not happening. We're certainly not killing time on the stall after some bro before us just dropped a heater while we were on-deck.

By the same right, I've seen fathers walk their kids into the the bathroom, kid takes a piss and they're gone...mother takes their kid into the bathroom and I'd swear there's a freaking maze behind that door. 

You want shorter lines? Start ostracizing girls that go to the bathroom in packs bigger than 2. Any more than that and you know at least 1 or 2 of them probably doesn't even have to go. Just occupying a stall or whatever goes on in there while the other friends go. It's insane...if a table of guys just got up and headed to the pisser together I'm pretty sure someone would, at a minimum, point out how ridiculous it looks, and at worst they'd essentially be forced to leave.  Call us sane, but we just figure the bathroom is a quick private detour, not the main attraction of the night.

Crazy Horse Lady Freaks Out after Handsome Carriage Horse Collapses in Central Park

Christ Lady! Imagine if something bad actually happened, can't imagine what this broad's reaction would be...Holy shit. That husband should have taken her advice and ran...away from her. There's a 1000% chance this horse fake pulled this stunt just to get away from this annoying shrew, I can't imagine anything worse than being stuck with this thing latched to your back for an hour, it'd be enough for me to fake feint as well.

Paralyzed Man Crashes ATV after Driving Using PVC Pipes

BAY COUNTY — A 30-year-old paralyzed man has charges pending against him after he was involved in a wreck that injured two young children. Shannon R. Majors of Panama City was driving a 2010 Carbide 150cc ATV along the clearing beneath a series of power lines. Majors is paralyzed so he used a PVC pipe to operate the gas and brake pedals of the vehicle. At some point, according to a Florida Highway Patrol press release, the vehicle overturned and rolled onto the left side. Majors suffered serious injuries and was taken to Gulf Coast Hospital. The two boys sustained minor injuries.

I think blaming this on his paraplegism is a bit premature, I mean this is an ATV we're talking about. How many functional legged people roll over their ATV's a week 30? 40? It just goes with the territory,  no? Can't see how it has anything to do with the PVC pipe driving mechanism this guy rigged up....

Personally I've always been confused as to why we drive with our feet anyway, call me crazy but I just think I'm more coordinated with hands than my feet. I don't know who the first person was that decided we'd control these death traps with our feet, but I'd imagine he wasn't exactly the brightest person on earth.  

This guy was just making his best efforts to rectify a long outdated situation with a creative new solution. You can't hate on that.

PS: Very curious what "serious injuries" constitute for a previously paralyzed guy...It'd be hilarious if the Doc attending to him didn't know about the pre-existing condition and broke the news all over again to him that he'd never walk, someone needs to get that on candid camera.

Police on the Hunt for "Serial Butt Slasher" in Virginia

Daily Mail - Police desperate to catch a serial buttock slasher have released a new video of the suspect. Police in Fairfax County have appealed for witnesses after a string of brazen attacks on young women out shopping. And in a separate development, a sixth A sixth victim has come forward after what she thought was a cut from a clothes hangar turned out to be a slash from a box cutter...The suspect, described as a heavy-set Hispanic man in his late 20s, distracts women before slashing them across the bottom with a box-cutter or razor. In the most recent attack, an 18-year-old woman was slashed through a pair of denim shorts as she browsed for clothes at a Forever 21 outlet in Fair Oaks Mall on Monday evening. She told police she noticed several clothes falling from a rack behind her, saw a man bend to pick them up, then felt a 'sharp pain' in her rear. The victim believed it was just a coat hanger that hit hear behind, until she realised her denim shorts had been sliced and her bottom was cut and bleeding.

The fuck is this guys problem?  I think we've come a long way as a tolerant society, to the point where groping in certain situations such as on the subway or in a large crowd, are for the most part tolerated, if not openly accepted as normal circumstances...that said people are not going to be cool with getting their rumpus carved up like a turkey dinner. Cannot have that going on in society.

When did being your average run of the mill perv start being not enough? Other diddlers and gropers have to be pissed about this too, right? Everyone in their city on high alert for would be creep shows, not knowing which one could be the notorious "serial butt slasher." Probably the worst thing to happen to the Grope game in a long time. 

PS: How is it this guy doesn't get caught slashing bums? It's not like he's in a crowd or anything, you'd think after someone just cut your butt you'd alert store staff and security.  Guy must not be victimizing any black women because you can be damn sure they'd raise hell if anyone ever stabbed their tush. Just mouthing off at him at the top of her lungs until he either stabs them or the police come over to see what the ruckus is all about.

New York City Freegan's: Garbage Diving for Food

Daily Mail - These are New York's 'Freegans', who enjoy the world's cheapest barbecues, having scavenged their food solely from dustbins. Freeganism, which began in the mid-1990s, is an anti-consumerist lifestyle where people employ alternative living strategies - and these New Yorkers showed how to have a free summer feast...The Big Apple members - many of whom have high-earning jobs by day - spend their evenings bin-diving to collect fresh produce discarded by cafes and supermarkets. The group, who organise monthly 'trash tours' so that people can seek the best places for free food, sourced potatoes, peppers, packaged salads, yogurts, pasta, bread rolls and hummus and made their own burgers and barbecue food from the ingredients.

Guessing you won't find these "Freegan trash tours" in Zagats guide or in the NY Tourism books...

Actually, this seems pretty reasonable, I mean the supermarkets and restaurants would have sold it to me if I'd showed up 20 minutes earlier before they closed....Is what I'd be saying if I was jobless and homeless...you people have jobs, buy some proper fucken food and go cook dinner! Christ.

I'm all about being frugal, and I'd love to tryout this extreme couponing schtick (still waiting for an extreme couponer to take me up on my offer and teach me for a weekend), but I 100% draw the line at eating carrot sticks and humus and shit that I just picked out of street garbage...to each their own I guess, but you should know I find that fucking gross.

Yea, I get it that it was just in the store on the shelves 30 minutes ago, but call me crazy, soon as that food hits the black plastic liner of a trash bag, its garbage to me...Maybe I'm just picky, or maybe these people aren't working with a full deck of cards, I don't know.

Just do me a favor and don't invite me to your next BBQ, I think I'll sit that one out.

Teacher Fired For Calling Kids Names, Telling it Like it is.

KETTERING — The Kettering school board on Tuesday night approved the suspension of Fairmont High School English teacher Michael Togliatti without pay, pending the termination of his contract. Togliatti, a 10-year veteran of the school with no prior disciplinary record, is accused of engaging in unprofessional and disrespectful conduct toward students...“You demeaned and embarrassed certain students,” Justice wrote, by allegedly calling them “idiots,” “airheads,” and “freaking morons;” telling students to “shut up” and “repeatedly” using profanity directed at students. “You told a student that nothing smart could ever come out of her mouth, and that nobody likes her anyway,” the letter stated. “You had a picture of the superintendent next to your desk, and periodically ridiculed him to your students.”

First of all, Michael Togliatti didn't get fired for telling it to these kids how it is, straight real talk. Nope, he got fired for being a hero, that and a complete idiot himself, the only mistake he made here was forgetting the number one lesson we all learned from Saving Private Ryan; There is a griping chain of command:

Capt. Miller: I don't gripe to you, Reiben. I'm a Captain. We have a chain of command. Gripes go up, not down. Always up. You gripe to me, I gripe to my superior officer, and so on and so on and so on. I don't gripe to you. I don't gripe in front of you. You should know that, as a Ranger.

I mean, nothing this guy said is that outlandish, and if he did it in the office of his Principal or with a co-worker in the teachers lounge we wouldn't even be discussing this. In fact it doesn't even sound like he crossed the line, sounds more like constructive criticism if you ask me. It's not like he called anyone a 'tard or called out a pregnant girl for being a slut, but that's the problem with kids these days, they're all entitled pricks. No one's ever once told them that their lives may not turn out gumdrops and sugar plums later on.

But this is exactly what happens when you flaunt the griping chain of command, the whole system breaks down, all the power goes to the underlings. Works across all walks of life too, I don't care if you work in a school, in the army, or are a middle manager for a gigantic corporate company...it always flows up.  I'm not out there griping to my direct reports about all the shit I think sucks about the job. That's strictly a behind doors conversation with my manager, who presumably goes to his manager to gripe about how I'm always griping, which then in turn gets run up the flagpole higher, and so on and so on.  

PS: Personally ridiculing a picture of your boss you keep on your desk is a hack job, its like something you'd see Jay Leno doing on the night show..."Hey guys check out this picture of my exec producer, isn't he funny looking! Hehehe, comeon guys look how funny looking he is."  No Jay you're not fucking funny, not even a little bit.

Just a Dude and His Converted Chevy Cavalier-Pickup Truck

Sweet ride bro.

You know what's confusing as hell here? I'm guessing this guy's not poor. Like my initial reaction was "look at this shit hole, guy probably lives in the cab at night." But then I got to thinking, it cannot be cheap to convert a Chevy Cavalier into a pickup truck. Like that's not your average chopshop or Pep Boys job.

Dude straight up had to have gotten this done at West Coast Customs, his boy Xzhibit showing up as a surprise with a camera crew to pimp his ride. Must've been the best day of his life.

PS: This thing street legal? Looks like a steady head wind would flip this thing over backwards in a second.

Democrat Lawmakers Considering Taxing Purchase Made Online

Fox News - While the nation was captivated by the debt crisis – and whether tax increases would be part of any deal to reduce federal deficits – a group of Democratic senators and congressmen have rolled out legislation that would raise new revenues by targeting online sales from retailers like Wal-Mart and Best Buy. These lawmakers say that states are losing billions in uncollected state and local sales tax on Internet sales and are touting the support of online retailers like Amazon who say they’re fine with an across-the-board system that would make tax collections simple. “Consumers shouldn’t have to face the burden of reporting all of their online purchases. Main Street retailers collect sales taxes on behalf of consumers, why shouldn’t online retailers do the same,” Durbin said in a statement Friday.

 You guys all hear that? Better get on over to The Alt-Tab Shoppe quick before the burden is on you to pay the sales tax on quality items such as the classic Alt-Tab baseball shirt, the Alt-Tab Oval sticker, and the best Selling Alt-Tab Coffee mug...Sure they're overpriced now, but it'll be even worse once the tax burden is on you, the consumer.

Love this lawmaker who assumes consumer are at home worrying about setting aside money to pay state retail taxes on items they buy online, what a nerd...Yea buddy, I got a huge tally going, don't worry you'll get your check this January...You kidding me bro? Paying taxes for shit you buy online is for suckers.
