A new take on transplants

One person's stuff is another person's sh*t. But when you've got a bug up your ass, another person's sh*t becoming your sh*t is the trick.

Them crazy Canucks!

In the market

I'm in the market for a new bed at chez Cheek. But this one for almost fitty grand USD? I'm holding out at least until there's a catheter option. And self reliance appliances. And massage. And nutella on toast with bacon every morning.


What are your must haves?

Remember your holiday song, boys and girls

News from the midwest reports folks are dickering over "appropriate" holiday displays. Did we learn nothing from Southpark? Can't we all get along and simply sing "Kyle's Mom is a B*tch in D Minor?"

(The original vid was stripped off YouTube, but the one with other language translations is schweet too.)

Inside Out

I put my pants on one leg at a time. I take them off two legs at a time. In the laundry bin, one pants leg is inside out. Always.

An investigation has been launched into this years-long phenomenon previously reported by the Swede. Other witnesses are asked to contact 1.800.DORKSRUS.

Think Twice Before Liberating Those Office Supplies

150,000 watch North Korean factory boss executed for 'making international calls'. Guess all y'all fantasy footballers and YouPorn watchers at work wouldn't stand an effing chance in North Korea. That is, if they didn't block those sites already.

You're Not Real (but Scott Adams is)

A peep forwarded me a fark.com noted piece from from the NY Times, "Our Lives, Controlled From Some Guy's Couch."

How timely. I finally finished God's Debris by Scott Adams this week. The NY Times piece echoed many of the suppositions made in Adams' work and his blog.

I forwarded a link to the article on to Scott via e-mail, and dang if he didn't reply back:

Holy shit. This topic is literally on the top of my "to do" list to blog about, and I never saw the article until now.

Scott

Cool.

Shit Saves, People

From Hugh MacLeod's Gaping Void

Shit saves. At least, in Statesboro, Georgia it does. Fa real. Word!

From the full article available here:

It was a violent, fiery crash, and minutes after it happened, people immediately stopped to see how they could help the men trapped inside. James Burdett, John Hagan Plumbing & electrical: "It was horrible. It was horrible."

It was too late for the driver. Jerry Littleton was killed when his pickup caught fire after overturning and hitting a tree. The passenger, his cousin, 18-year-old Mitchell Hendrix, was still alive, but fire was racing through the vehicle.

James Burdette, and two other workers, were heading in for the day after making a service call. The septic company workers saw the wreck and turned around to help.

Burdett: "We heard the man in there screaming, so we waited for the police to get there, and police showed up. We asked permission to put the fire out, with the pump truck, and they said 'Go ahead, and do that' so we backed the pump truck over there, and put the fire out."

As unconventional as it was, the men doused the fire with 1500 gallons of raw sewage for about ten minutes. It's illegal to release sewage on the ground, but the men say there was no other way to save him.

Let's just hope those shitty heroes don't get sued. That would be, well, a really shitty thing to do to two gents who thought on their feet and saved a life. I'm just sayin'. Bless their dear hearts.
