The Red Badge of Courage

No excuse; just a funny.

Somebody hired a pretty brilliant ad agency.

Walt Disney's "Those Wacky Glands!"

Back in 1970 this is likely to have been what the girls got to watch when we had to go to the gym and watch the filmstrip about how beating off would make us go blind and retarded.

But if memory serves me the whacking-off filmstrip was at least more watchable than this. I honestly couldn't figure out how to make the whole business of fertility seem both boring and sqwicky. But this little treasure manages. Nice, Walt, nice.

Squeeee!

No real reason other than I came across a picture I loved and wanted to repost it.

Here's a couple of little future jammers getting all squeeee! over one of their heroines skating for our Rose City Rollers:

And here's another bunch of Portland kiddos, this time getting some love from Carli Lloyd of the USWNT:

Dunno why I love these little kids, especially the girls, all worked up about their sports heroines other than I think it's cool that they HAVE these strong women to get all squeeee! about and I'm kinda squeeee! about them, myself.

You kick ass, gals.

I hear the pole gymnastics team is good, though...

So my friend Janelle forwarded this photo on Facebook:
and I have to give one of her pals (whose name - since I want to give him credit but not compromise his privacy - will call "Will") huge credit for what I thought was the top comment:

"Sure, you can get a degree from Girls Gone Wild University, but then you just end up with massive amounts of student loan debt, a job market still trying to bounce back and probably an STD. Start off with Girls Gone Wild Community College. It's just the smarter play."

And just think how much further your G.I. Bill would go there. Pay for a lot of Natty Light and see-through community college logo tank tops. Though I hear the GGWU "drunken limbo" team is offering a full ride. So, your call.

Personally, I hope my daughter finds a good trade school...

Money for Nothing and your Chicks for Free

I KNEW there was a reason I was a paratrooper.Works the same in the Ukraine, I see. That beret and the sailor shirt...they draw the girls like catnip, the little dears.
