Just a random sampling of things to wonder about.
In today’s head lines:
“Briton hurt after lighting firecracker in buttocks”
That hurts? Who knew?
After Tuesday’s election, I’ve decided the marriage amendment we really needed was one that will take Britney Spears and Kevin Federline permanently out of the marriage pool. If the government wants to protect us from ourselves, why don’t they put effort where it will do the most good?
Finally, after watching “The Punisher” on FX, #2 son would like to know why It was OK to show a guy being hit in the head with the blade from a paper cutter, but they had to bleep the F-Bomb.
I got nothing.
I’m totally with #2 son on this.
I’d like to go farther with Brittney and K-Fed. I’d like to fix them both. Seriously, the two of them do not need to keep adding to the gene pool…
On the firecracker… I got nuthin’ Other than trying to come up with a Bevis and Butthead type joke about it being a fire cracker. Nevermind. I’ll leave the humor to you. You’re better at it.

I read about the firework at the BBC website, here: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/wear/6132140.stm
‘A spokesman for the Firework Association described the bizarre prank as “beyond belief”.’
It does seem like a very, very, very stupid thing to do.
I really enjoy the irony of someone coming back from Iraq and celebrating the portions of his anatomy that did not get blown off, by doing it himself.
I showed this article to #1 son, and he gave me a tired look and said,
“You really don’t know much about the internet, do you. There are videos all over it of people sticking exploding things up their ass. It was only a matter of time before someone got hurt.”
Only a matter of time??????
I responded that it was nice to see that, at least the person who did it wasn’t an American. For once, we are not cornering the market on doing really dumb stuff that the world can laugh at (hands across the water and a happy belated Guy Fawkes Day!).
#1 son shook his head. It’s not that other countries are dumber than us for a change. He figures, when this happens in Britain, it’s an oddity that makes the news.
When this happens in the US? The emergency room doctors say, ‘Oh, damn. Not another one.’ Patch the person up and send him home.
