Move along, nothing to see here, Part 65,537

Watching CSPAN in the background, some guy from thinkprogress.org is talking about how egregious bad bad men are suppressing the vote because they are succeeding in getting Voter ID laws passed.

He is just all over how stupid this is, how much it makes no sense and it's wrong to require ID to vote.

His name is Legume.

A peanut is a legume.  Does this mean that he is nuts?

From Wikipedia:
A legume /ˈlɛɡʲuːm/ in botanical writing is a plant in the family Fabaceae (or Leguminosae), or a fruit of these specific plants. A legume fruit is a simple dry fruit that develops from a simple carpel and usually dehisces (opens along a seam) on two sides. A common name for this type of fruit is a pod, although the term "pod" is also applied to a few other fruit types, such as vanilla and radish. Well-known legumes include alfalfa, clover, peas, beans, lentils, lupins, mesquite, carob, soy, and peanuts.

Face it... you need therapy

Not long ago, I had the occasion to visit the facebork.

A "friend" decided to post something regarding nothing being as uplifting as a good Led Zeppelin tune.  Something good had happened in their life and I was really fond of this person.  So commenting of the frivolous nature occurred.

I equated "gas" with another uplifting idea.
This lead to another Zeppelin related post.
I digressed to the most famous Zeppelin, in a humorous way the only way possible being the meme of Huge Manatee. 

If you're not familiar with the Huge Manatee meme, as is my former friend on facebork, no doubt:

"OH THE HUGE MANATEE! is based off of a comment by Herbert Morrison during the crash of the Hindenburg, which became an idiom ‘used in a satirical way to ridicule, diminish and trivialize emotional displays the speaker deems overly sentimental.’ Much later, after the internets was invented, an image of the crash was digitized, and later photoshopped to replace the blimp of doom with an aquatic mammal, the manatee, and provided a humorous caption. Thus, the huge manatee was born, and placed on t-shirts everywhere. It’s even spawned it’s own game."

A notable aspect of this meme is that it is of of the few that are nicely photoshopped.
‘Oh, the Humanity!’ -- Oops, Wrong Disaster – The New York Times

Well, this person proceeded to unfriend me.  Complete with some parting thoughts about what a horrible person I am and how I shouldn't be thinking about stalking them.

Whaaaa?

Someone needs a therapist methinks.  I'd be lying if I said that it didn't bother me to be turned on like this (in a public forum no less) when I was just merrily being funny (so I thought).

See, sometimes people (that posses a sense of humor) will use what is known as "reductio ad absurdum" to inject humor.  You see, use of something ridiculous, like "I'm a monkey's uncle" will strike some people (that also posses a sense of humor) as humorous.  It's well documented.  If you're not a stupid redneck.* 

But I guess some folks look at everything with a jaundiced eye, seeing peril or attack in innocent things.  There's a description for that I think.  Oh yeah, paranoia!

Good luck to you, former Facebork friend.  Even though you don't understand, I wish you only the best, happy life you can have.

Rest in Peace Jack Kerr

Found out today my father in law passed away. He was a great man. Although my ex and I haven't exactly had a pleasant divorce, I hope that the pain of his loss turns to fond memories soon. I really wish he knew how much I admired him.

Quantum field locking results in levitating cold thingy

Flux pinning is the phenomenon that magnetic flux lines do not move (become trapped, or "pinned") in spite of the Lorentz force acting on them inside a current-carrying Type II superconductor. The phenomenon cannot occur in Type I superconductors, since these cannot be penetrated by magnetic fields (Meissner–Ochsenfeld effect). Flux pinning is only possible when there are defects in the crystalline structure of the superconductor (usually resulting from grain boundaries or impurities). The natural magnetic waves that bend around and pin the superconductor in mid space also break into millions of ultra-thin lines and each one carries a flux quantum caused from the superconductor being so sensitive to magnetic waves.

This is what happens when you mess with Marriage between One Man and One Woman

This is a completely serious post.  Do not take it lightly.

Perhaps you've seen the music video "Call me maybe" by Carly Rae Jepson.  If not, it's below.  Catchy tune.  Watch until the end for the surprise and humorous twist.






Well, here's what happens when you take meddling with nature to the logical conclusion.  I'm not sure that there is anything that can be done to undo the damage.

Rest In Peace Bob Welch

Bob was a Fleetwood Mac guitarist and had a few hits of his own.  Great musician, beautiful music.  He committed suicide at his home in Nashville.  This is so very sad.



You are here and warm 
But I could look away and you'd be gone  
'Cause we live in a time  
When meaning falls in splinters from our lives  
And that's why I've traveled far 
'Cause I come so together where you are
 
And all of the things that I said that I wanted  
Come rushing by in my head when I'm with you  
14 joys and a will to be merry  
And all of the things that they say are very
Sentimental gentle wind  
Blowing through my life again 
Sentimental lady Gentle one
 
Now you are here today  
But easily you might just go away  
'Cause we live in a time  
When paintings have no color, words don't rhyme  
And that's why I've traveled far  
'Cause I come so together where you are
 
And all of the things that I said that I wanted  
Come rushing by in my head when I'm with you  
14 joys and a will to be merry  
All of the things that we say are very   
Sentimental gentle wind  
Blowing through my life again  
Sentimental lady Gentle one

Yes and all of the things that I said that I wanted

All of the things that they say are very
