Ron Paul needs to quit predicting stuff, cuz it's always bad and always comes true.

Genital removery surgery. You don't even wish that on your worst enemy.

  Well . . . if his name is Scot Tenorman you may even train a pony to bite off his pecker.
  
  How awesome is it all I had to do to get the spelling of his last name is put 'cartman' and 'scot' in the google ap bar?

I made it about 5 seconds into the genitals story and had to turn it off before I puked. BE WARNED.

  I forwarded it until they started talking about something else.

  If you want to see pics of the cooked giblets on a plate they are at Huffington Post

  So, apparently it only costs $250 to eat a bowl of dick.

Not gonna watch someone cooking their 'stuff'.
Hint, Lucy. Want an audience? Bad lede.

  That's up there but Trayvoning gets buried? The first I've heard of this new meme. I googled it to see if there were any variations that might be more interesting, artistic and/or despicable than the three they showed, but the first few pages were from the easily outraged. The search did lead me to this, so not totally in vein:

      When you think about it, "vein" may work. It was the 70's.
      1. Bruce Majors 13 years ago
        
        It would work on the Japanese cooking segment

    Is that Thin White Duke era? He seems young.

      Spot on. I did the TWD look in high school for about a month. Got me voted weirdest dressed.
      1. Sevo 13 years ago
        
        And you're bragging?
        
        Killazontherun 13 years ago
        
        High school not so glam for you?

        You should have seen my wardrobe back then. My aunt was in the business of buying out estates when the owners croaked and my reward for helping her store the stuff was to pick through the suits.
        
        Broseph of Invention 13 years ago
        
        I love the fit of classic suits; I imagine you were set for life. Dressing like a dandy is fun and bold, and would be cooler if Mad Men hadn't ruined it. If you aren't getting called "faggot" on the way to the office by guys in Pontiacs, you aren't doing it right.

      The date is March 25, 1976.

        The coolness of this mug shot is somewhat undermined by Bowie's having been arrested in Rochester. What did he do -- dodge the check for his garbage plate at Nick Tahoe's?
        
        Then again, this is an excellent illustration of John Waters's maxim: "Everybody looks better under arrest."

        Felony pot arrest (along with Iggy Pop) according to TSG: http://www.thesmokinggun.com/d.....hot-oddity

For that ball busting show I wonder how much would it cost Balko to advertise on it? Or maybe have the striker changed to look like his bald head.

Also I'm getting the feeling that Luck really likes things that are Green or in the green range.

  It's totally not a bad choice considering her hair color.

Please retweet. I am offering my male genitals (full penis, testes, scrotum) as a meal for 100,000 yen?. I will prepare and cook as the buyer requests, at his chosen location.

Apparently he considers himself asexual and had an elective surgery to remove his bits pieces.

  You spelled awesome individualism wrong.
Anonymous Coward 13 years ago

Is it wrong that I could immediately tell who was who based solely on the screen-cap? (BTW, Lucy's socks are cute)

RFID chips in student IDs. Just getting the kids ready to accept that boot that will stamping down on their faces. Forever.

  Lucy is the sexy redhead.

Good Bob, but that Usero woman is annoying. Let Lucy speak, goddammit!

That 22-year-old Japanese dude is going to regret barbecuing his wang one day. That's my prediction.

  Caribbean food is much more satisfying, some say.
2. Hell's Librarian 13 years ago
  
  I gotta tell ya, my gag reflex is pretty high, but that story and pics triggered it for real.
  
  That's my prediction.
  Yep.
