The Scary Month

   October is considered horror-oriented because it is the home of Halloween. Fair enough, but Halloween is just the coup-de-grace of the month of terror.
   October is a prime month for hurricanes. Sometimes the late ones are the worst - just ask the people of South Carolina today.

   It's also a bad month for money. The stock market crash of 1929 was in October - as were smaller crashes in 1987, 1989, 1997, 2002, 2007 and the big scare of 2008. (Thank you Wiki!)

   Every even-numbered year, October is the month when political goblins fill our entertainment programming with political ads, and our voice mail with robo-calls.

   I mean even the trees are freaked about this month.

   Shudder. (That was meant to indicate that I was shuddering, and not to demand or imply that you should shudder - unless you're so inclined.)

   As a service of Just Plain Stupid, I would love to offer you reassurance and comfort as we dive into the second week of this most perilous of months.

   Really I’d love to...

   But I'm too freakin' scared.

   So instead, I offer these frightening images that my so-called friends on FB have posted in an effort to rob me of sleep and create inconvenient (and unpleasant to name,) digestive disorders.

   Misery (and terror) loves company.

   Sure we have to worry about aliens

   Monsters

   And the specter of death

   But even things that SEEM safe are dangerous.

   Like food

   Chewing gum

   Even your couch!

   Some dangers look cuddly

   Some are nostalgic

   Some even threaten Star Wars characters

   Maybe the best thing to do is breath deeply - maybe take a walk in the woods.

   Maybe not.

   Warning:  Those who went to Catholic school may find this video too intense.

Rotting Your Brain 3 Facebook Beasts.



The old Vaudeville saw is to never do an act with a baby or an animal.  Not only are they unpredictable, but they're bound to look funnier than you are.  As I scan FB, I marvel at the amount of time people must stand poised over their pets or other beasts with a camera in their hand.  And people worry about our Gross National Product!  Here's our GNP - pictures of animals posted on FB.  Surely, this must help our trade deficit somehow!

Sorry for calling you, Surely.





 Kittenhood is contagious

 I hope they don't talk to their distant cousins in the North Pole

 Too much time on Hubby's hands

 Been there

 Squirrel peace

 Yeah, that's about it

 Why I love the feel of Wash and Drys

 Who gets the remote?

 Not really an animal - or is he?

 Sorry, girls - too wise

 Like as in...?

Ummmm

 Why cats have mental health issues

 Good tip

 Cute warning

 And She Don't Care!

 I hope they didn't train him to do that

Eat - Sleep, so much to do.  Hard to keep it all straight

 

Here's a video that makes me feel better about the kind of person I am.

Rotting your brain 2 Facebook revenge

My photo file is filling up.  I have 2 choices.  I can allow my computer to crash and then panhandle for a new one - or I can share all this crap with you.  Why do people put pictures on FB?  Sorry, that's too deep for me.  Here's some stuff I got recently.
   These photos break down into 2 basic categories

1) Animals:

Uh... hi yerself?







Yeah - just showing me up - I could never stay on those things

I know people who don't check before opening the door

Mother Husky of Cluckutta

I'm sure I've worked for this guy

and 2) Deep thinking

 



Does the horse drive the boat?

Staying with the transportation vein

Disappointment

If Bob Ross finished the Sistine Chapel

Now we're talking!

Thanks Al

I decided to get Zen - or lazy in posting a video today.  I went to my FB page and chose the first vid I liked.  The winner was posted by D.T.  As I'm musically ignorant, I've never heard of this musician.  The good news is that I've found a new musician I like.  The bad news is that he just died.

Let Me Rot Your Brain With Facebook

May 6 2013



 Relationships are hard.  Are they worthwhile?  Some may say yes.  I say they're worthwhile as long as they're with people with soft couches, Pop Tarts, and an endless capacity to put up with my...

But saints are in short supply, and it looks bad if you have no friends at all.  That's why we have Facebook.  Facebook rots brains sufficiently to make us feel loved - or at least friended.

  One other benefit is that we get all kinds of stupid pictures.  Here's a few that made me ambitious enough to actually click my mouse a few times to save them.

A no-brainer
