I'm going insane. No bullshit. My mind is so fragmented, I can't focus on any one topic for any significant length of time and I'm finding myself frequently giggling for no reason whatsoever.

I don't know if anyone has ever posted this link, but I just found out about it yesterday.

http://www.tuckermax.com

The guy is a total asshole, and yet it's still some of the funniest shit I have EVER read.

Text only (no nudie pics or anything), but the stories are still totally NSFW.

This is very encouraging. Even it it's just this one guy, it's still pretty cool.

It's way, way beyond bullshit. Bullshit is inoffensive fertilizer compared to this bogus new-age spiritual ponzi scheme.

I'm stuck with a blue ball. Not too far off from reality, actually.

Also, there's a typo in the Title Bar for that page. It's showing "gam" instead of "game" unless at one point a leg on a string appears.

I cheated. I right-clicked and held it, moved the mouse cursor just under the ball; then release the right button and immediately click. After blue it's red, then grey. I only cheated cos I wanted to know what colors were next, lol. It's still fun. In it's own, ...fun way.

It's a sad, sad state of affairs when my friends turn to me for relationship advice. Jee-zus. "Yes, I'm Doctor Xolik Schlessinger, like Laura but without the bitter judgments and bad perm, how may I help you?"

       A cowboy named Ryan was overseeing his herd in a remote mountainous
pasture in  Taylorsville when suddenly a brand-new BMW advanced toward
him out of a cloud of dust.
       The driver, a young man in a Brioni suit, Gucci shoes, RayBan sunglasses
and YSL tie, leaned out the window and asked the cowboy, "If I tell you
exactly how many cows and calves you have in your herd, Will you give me
a calf?"
       Ryan looks at the man, obviously a yuppie, then looks at his peacefully
grazing herd and calmly answers, "Sure, Why not?"
       The yuppie parks his car, whips out his Dell notebook computer, connects
it to his Cingular RAZR V3 cell phone, and surfs to a NASA page on the Internet, where he calls up a GPS satellite to get an exact fix on his location which he then feeds to another NASA satellite that scans the area in an ultra-high-resolution photo. He then opens the digital photo in Adobe Photoshop and exports it to an image processing facility in Hamburg ,  Germany.
       Within seconds, he receives an email on his Palm Pilot that the image has been processed and the data stored. He then accesses an MS-SQL database through an ODBC connected Excel spreadsheet with email on his Blackberry and, after a few minutes, receives a response.
       Finally, he prints out a full-color, 150-page report on his hi-tech, miniaturized HP LaserJet printer, turns to the cowboy and says, "You have exactly 1,586 cows and calves."
       "That's right. Well, I guess you can take one of my calves," says Ryan.
       He watches the young man select one of the animals and looks on with
amusement as the young man stuffs it into the trunk of his car.
       Then Ryan says to the young man, "Hey, if I can tell you exactly what your business is, will you give me back my calf?"
       The young man thinks about it for a second and then says, "Okay, why
not?"
       "You're a Congressman for the U.S. Government", says Ryan.
       "Wow! That's correct," says the yuppie, "but how did you guess that?"
       "No guessing required." answered the cowboy. "You showed up here even
though nobody called you; you want to get paid for an answer I already knew, to a question I never asked. You used millions of dollars worth of equipment trying to show me how much smarter than me you are; and you don't know a thing about how working people make a living - or about cows, for that matter. This is a herd of sheep. Now give me back my dog."

       ..."You have exactly 1,586 cows and calves."
       "That's right....
... This is a herd of sheep. Now give me back my dog."
So actually, the congressman was wrong. There weren't 1586 cows and calves in his herd, there were 0. Why did he answer "That's right"?
