A guide to cutting stencils - by Banksy →
banksystreetart:
First off, stencil anything. If you wait for the perfect idea you will be waiting for ever. Cleverness is never as entertaining as blatant stupidity, failure and public humiliation.
Obtain a fucking sharp knife. Blunt knives result in fluffy pictures and make the whole process long and boring. Snap off blades of British steel are best.

Stop, or the Grammar Police will shoot!
I’m sorry to be the asshole bearer of grammatical fact, but please heed:
Lose—a verb. Used in sentences when something of yours goes missing. Like this, “I’m trying to lose weight,” or “I’m about to lose my fucking mind”.
Loose—an adjective. Used in sentences when something is bigger than the thing it’s trying to fit. Like this,...

Have I told the one where a client badgered me...
I feel compelled to tell an embarrassing but true story, thanks to an entire blog entry a friend dedicated to me yesterday about pissing her pants. So here goes.
In a former life, I was a construction project manager who had the ridiculous task of going to kitchen remodels and inspecting the end product. Often times, I was called out when a remodel wasn’t even complete because something...

What the hell is that smell?
To anyone coming in direct contact with me today: I apologize for the way I smell. I made a batch of teriyaki chicken last night (it was fucking delicious, thank you for asking) and I live in a relatively small home. Unfortunately, the teriyaki odor has penetrated all of my clothes and my hair. And I hate washing my hair, so you’ll just have to deal with the stink. And no, you may not taste...
On moronism...or wait--MORMONISM...
Yesterday afternoon, my house was visited by a group of Mormon folks who wanted to spread the good word of their faith to the people in the neighborhood. I answered the door, saw their white shirts and black ties and backpacks, and as soon as they asked how I was doing I responded with a “Agnostic, thanks. Not interested in a chat about your god today, okay? Sorry,” and I shut the door...
Confidential to the Fiddler...
Now, you realize you’re required to follow through with this story of a stony evening in downtown Chicago.
I demand it.
Bless your heart.

This here's a list of things I love...
I love the following items/people/places/feelings. And in an effort to keep my head above the murky waters of depression that this current political nonsense keeps wanting to pull me down under, I am stating all the things I love (or at least a random smattering of them) here.
1. My husband, my sister, my nephew, my parents, my friends. Obviously. Now that the duhs are out of the way…

My father will go to great lengths to make me...
Dad: Did Joan Jett finally come out?
Me: Not sure. Maybe?
Dad: The part I saw of the movie sure made it look like she and another of The Runaways were trading fur.
Me: "Trading fur"? Oh my god, Dad.
Dad: Well, it did.
Me: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Priest accused of molesting 200 deaf boys, Pope... →
forwhenifeellikesharing:
The New York Times showed that Murphy was spared a defrocking in the mid-1990s because he was protected by the Vatican office led by Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, now the pope.
I love the AP’s snarky use of the the word “defrocking.”
Also, I hate to sound cynical, but I’m not surprised. The Pope’s apology to Ireland was heavy on the anti-secularism and displacing of...

A quarter of republicans believe that Obama may be... →
The obvious correlation to make here is that at least a quarter of all Republicans are goddamned morons.
Sharp and pointy...
It’s goddamned cold in this office and I’m smuggling a couple of diamond-cutters in my brassiere.

The most well-written and comprehensive blog post... →
Russell King’s TPM post about what the conservative party needs to do to make their party valid again. The list is long, and boy, I just don’t think they can pull their shit together enough to do even half of it.
The party is slowly imploding, folks, and it’s an ugly sight to see.
