Can't make this (stuff) up

Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

"fat ladies", sure, but I don't see a tweaking methhead every time I'm in Walmart. ;)
So we're supposed to be impressed that you go to an up-scale Wal-Mart?
Don't be impressed that the Gulf Breeze Walmart always left me wondering where these so-called Walmart shoppers were hiding. Like everything, it's location, location, location.

Shoppers in all 4 of the superstores and neighborhood markets between GB and Navarre wear clothes, drive normal vehicles and the kids are mostly behaved.

Then about a month ago I went out of great necessity, to the Pensacola west side Walmart near the intersection of Fairfield and Mobile Highway and there they were, on every isle, at every register, carts filled and kids treating the jelly isle like a buffet.

They're ALL up-scale Walmarts compared to south Florida (and Pensacola west side). :P

Guinness to review criteria after scrubs-wearing nurse denied world record

Guinness World Records will review its criteria for the fastest marathon by a person dressed as a nurse (yes, that’s a real thing) after a London-based nurse complained that her time didn’t qualify because she wore scrubs instead of a dress.

Jessica Anderson was training for the London Marathon when she noticed that her time was close to the world record for a woman wearing a nurse’s uniform (3 hours, 8 minutes, 54 seconds, set by Sarah Didgeon in 2015). Anderson was told that in order to qualify for the record, she must be what she described to the BBC as "an old-fashioned, Carry On version of a nurse" — in a blue or white nurse dress, a white apron and a traditional nurse’s cap.

She said she was told those rules apply to both men and women attempting to set the record.
After writing back and asking the organization to reconsider its "outdated and frankly quite sexist" rule, Anderson went ahead and ran the April 28 race in scrubs. She finished in 3:08:22 — that’s 32 seconds faster than the current record....

Go go go new world nurses; when I was a kid, nurses wore white dresses, white shoes, white hats, and even had white pantyhose or whatever there was before pantyhose. None of them looked particularly fast to me, but I was just a kid. They always seemed to smell like alcohol, too.

An authentic race would mandate white orthopedic shoes, too.

Many years ago I picked healthy living not because I thought I might live longer, but because I knew I'd live better.

Alternative #5 ... Teach a man to fish and he'll buy a boat, a 2-4, and stay out of the house for days.

Best one is #1

I was hoping they'd name him Jughead. King Jughead has a nice ring to it.

So, I'm looking at an article about Mitt-Flop Romney being his usual namby-pamby self on the impeachment issue and noticed something. Turns out I'm not the first to have noticed.

Mitt Romney’s Secret: Is He Really Max Headroom?

Image

In what may be the most bizarre incident of the 2008 primary season, investigators for the John McCain campaign have discovered that Mitt Romney is an ingenious blend of state of the art robotics and artificial intelligence based on the popular 80’s television character Max Headroom.

“We were doing the vetting of possible running mates for Senator McCain when one of our staff noticed that Mitt Romney had an uncanny resemblance to Max Headroom,” said Rick Davis, McCain campaign manager. “We traced his origins from the Headroom television show, to the Disney Animatronics Division, on through AI researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. We were shocked. He looks amazingly life-like.”

“I always knew there was something weird about that guy.” commented Congressman Ron Paul. “No wonder he couldn’t connect with the public. Let’s see who has the last laugh on this one.”

The discovery triggered a hot debate among scientists and religionists over whether or not the Romneybot should be considered a sentient being.

“It walks and talks and responds to outer stimulii,” stated Richard Dawkins. evolutionary biologist and ardent atheist. “It does all the things humans do better than most. The Rommeybot is the next step in human evolution. There is no doubt that its’ jokes aren’t funny, and it seems a little stiff, but many humans have those same traits. I don’t know if its’ CPU is capable of programming itself. If it is, this is a sentient being.”

“White folks is crazy,” replied Reverend Jeremiah Wright, first Pastor to be thrown under the political bus in 2008. “That thing ain’t got no soul. I knew it the first time I ever saw it.”

“I’m just glad it’s not Jewish,” said Reverend John Hagee, second Pastor to be thrown under the political bus in 2008. “That’s all I have to say.”

Vice President Dick Cheney was unavailable for comment.

:lol: Gee, I had no idea I had compared Mitt with Max; at least I don't remember it. But if Mitt started to adopt the sort of digital stutter Max has, they'd be like twins except for the hair. Ni Ni Ni Nice to see you, Mitt.
