  • My psychiatrist told me I was crazy and I said I want a second opinion. He said okay, you’re ugly too.

    Boy am I ugly. I’m so ugly that when I was born the doctor slapped my mother.

    My mother, she wouldn’t breastfeed me, she said she liked me as a friend.

    My mother had morning sickness after I was born.

    Then later as I was growing up, when I played in the sandbox the cat kept covering me up.

    On Halloween, the parents sent their kids out looking like me.

    Boy I was an ugly kid. I had plenty of pimples, one day I fell asleep in the library. When I woke up, a blind man was reading my face.

    I met the surgeon general, he gave me a cigarette.

    Then I told my dentist my teeth are going yellow. he told me to wear a brown tie.

    I told my doctor I want to get a vasectomy. He told me that with a face like mine, I don’t need one.

    I told my doctor, “Every day I wake up, I look in the mirror, I want to throw up. What’s wrong with me?” He said, “I don’t know, but your eyesight is perfect.

    I tell ya, I know I’m ugly. My proctologist stuck his finger in my mouth.

    The onion should do a satire version of this article…

    #1) BizzBop: a can of soda

    #2) shaplopped: sitting down in your chair too hard

    #3) smooly-D: having difficulty keeping aim at the urinal.

    #4) snorkeling: to have such abundance that you are euphemistically ‘swimming’ in something.

    Last night I shaplopped, was snorkeling in bizzbop so hard that my smooly-D was straight killing it.

    What else y’all got?




  • I feel like I am talking with a bot who is programmed to annoy the scientifically literate.

    Let us all bask in the absurdity of your thought process:

    You first say ‘the CIA says that they can perform telepathy’, and then you say ‘the CIA says that they cannot perform telepathy’, then you say ‘I don’t trust what the CIA says’, and therefore: ‘the CIA can do telepathy’

    Despite this horribly flawed methodology, the concept of telepathy is widely known to be pseudoscience. The claims of telepathy do not hold up to scrutiny. Your theories are easily debunked.

    Radin’s ideas and work have been criticized by scientists and philosophers skeptical of paranormal claims. The review of Radin’s first book, The Conscious Universe, that appeared in Nature charged that Radin ignored the known hoaxes in the field, made statistical errors and ignored plausible non-paranormal explanations for parapsychological data.

    You cite a quack who has a Wikipedia article that is 75% explaining how he is not a trustworthy source.

    Lastly, if telepathy were a real actual thing that people can do, do realize how many other aspects of reality must also be of a conspiratorial nature? Its borderline paranoid schizophrenia to think something like telepathy is real and the CIA is covering it up.

    Hopefully you can raise your standard of what constitutes evidence and apply a little more skeptical thinking when you come across wild claims that demand extraordinary evidence.








  • I was 11, and the movie was the sixth sense. The girl vomiting scared me, and also when the mom leaves the kitchen and returns a few seconds later and all the cupboard doors and drawers are open…

    I was watching this with my family at home and during the movie my older brother used his cell phone to call our home phone which was located on the other side of the house in the kitchen. I hadn’t realized it was him calling the home phone and I jumped at the opportunity to leave the scary move to go answer the phone. All the lights were off as I entered the kitchen. I flipped the lights on and boom… all of the doors and drawers are wide open. My brother lured me into the kitchen with that phone call just to scare me.

    It’s not that scary of a movie but to this day I refuse to watch it. Also, I stopped speaking with my brother years ago.


  • So yea, I hear you. I pretty much exclusively listen to NPR for news, and they are pretty balanced if not potentially a little left leaning from time to time, which I actually find refreshing.

    But when a measurable percentage of the country thinks fox is fair and balanced, or that FB is a news source, the ability for our free press to safeguard democracy is severely threatened.

    What good is free press when there are no longer facts and everything is opinion based?

    Paraphrasing Asimov, ‘There is a cult of ignorance which operates under the false notion that democracy means that my ignorance is as good as your knowledge.’

    When trump took a play straight out of the dictators handbook and started shouting fake news, I began to fear that this was the beginning of the end. The real beginning however was probably a few decades back when news went from dry and factual to sensationalist infotainment.
