The EPIC Turkey Day.. ZOMG & THE EPIC XMAS D.T BOOM ROASTED!

The rum of all rums.

 

I tried to go Christmas shopping today....and came home with a bunch of stuff for myself. Including two bottles of wine and a bottle of Makers Mark. And a bottle of champagne to "bring home to the family."

YAY HOLIDAYS!

 

Then I'll make sure to drink twice as much of it, half for me and half for you!

 

From Wiki regarding the timeline of the whole evolution in school thing here is Kansas. Looks like we are now back on the whole "science" train, but it is just a damn shame that it was ever even a question.

"On August 11, 1999, by a 6–4 vote the Kansas State Board of Education changed their science education standards to remove any mention of "biological macroevolution, the age of the Earth, or the origin and early development of the Universe", so that evolutionary theory no longer appeared in state-wide standardized tests and "it was left to the 305 local school districts in Kansas whether or not to teach it."[24] This decision was hailed by creationists, and sparked a statewide and nationwide controversy with scientists condemning the change.[25] Challengers in the state's Republican primary who made opposition to the anti-evolution standards their focus were voted in on August 1, 2000, so on February 14, 2001, the Board voted 7–3 to reinstate the teaching of biological evolution and the origin of the earth into the state's science education standards.[24]
In 2004 Kansas Board of Education elections gave religious conservatives a majority and, influenced by the Discovery Institute, they arranged the Kansas evolution hearings. On August 9, 2005, the Kansas State Board of Education drafted new "science standards that require critical analysis of evolution – including scientific evidence refuting the theory,"[26] which opponents analyzed as effectively stating that intelligent design should be taught.[27] The new standards also provide a definition of science that does not preclude supernatural explanations, and were approved by a 6–4 vote on November 8, 2005—incidentally the day of the Dover school board election which failed to re-elect incumbent creationists (see #Pennsylvania).
In Kansas' state Republican primary elections on August 1, 2006, moderate Republicans took control away from the anti-evolution conservatives,[28] leading to an expectation that science standards which effectively embraced intelligent design and cast doubt on Darwinian evolution would now be changed.[29]
On February 13, 2007, the Kansas State Board of Education approved a new curriculum which removed any reference to Intelligent Design as part of science. In the words of Dr Bill Wagnon, the board chairman, "Today the Kansas Board of Education returned its curriculum standards to mainstream science". The new curriculum, as well as a document outlining the differences with the previous curriculum, has been posted on the Kansas State Department of Education's website.[30]

 

I decided I'm jealous of gay people. One of my lesbian cousins who's biological clock is soon to expire is about to buy a house with her partner of about nine years. Guess how many times she's been asked these questions:

When are you getting married?
When are you having kids?

Zero. No ring, no over the top party, no one up in their shit about their next artificial life step. Just two people happy to live their lives together and no one putting pressure on them to do what "you're suppose" to do.

I'm just going to gloss over that whole "oppression" thing they apparently face, it seems superficial anyway.

 

Where I grew up in NH, the next town over had one of these controversies. The school board wanted to put disclaimer stickers (along the lines of "Evolution is just a theory, and only one of many explanations available. It has not been scientifically proven.") in the front of the biology textbooks. The loonies were promptly thrown out in the next election cycle and never really heard from again.

And they know how to party, too. No fair.

 

Just thought I'd throw this out there. See if it uhh... sticks. You know, for science.

The answer to those questions is simple:

"When shall I burn off you face with a flaming log?"

God, I love sheep. You HAVE to buy a superduper-fucking expensive engagement ring that will attract muggers. You HAVE to get married. You HAVE to have a steady, education-obtained career. You HAVE to have 2.5 kids. You HAVE to homeschool them too, because schools are evil. You have to BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH jump on broken glass and iodine, bitch.

In other words, they are an adult are you are not. They "know the world" and you don't. And they can make your decisions for you.

I am going to go smoke The Lift. Don't worry be happy.

 

Is it just me, or does that first woman look intensely bored?

 

Things I have accidentally run out of more frequently than I allow my home to run out of Maker's Mark:

Coffee. Toilet paper. Toothpaste. Soap. Clean socks and/or underwear. Excuses.

 

Fuck that I want entertainment. Somebody get Apollo to ring the bell.



It's not often we get two heavyweight staring daggers at each other. We usually have to settle for jrussellhipsterglasses.

 

Pretty please with sugar on top explain that to me.

 

She's a racist.

Patriots Broncos game is giving me heart palpitations. Go BRADY!

 

I've been saying for weeks that sure, Tebow is having some decent success, but if he ever had to try to match point for point with one of the upper echelon teams, he'd be fucked.

Glad the Pats are spankin' that ass.

 

Wait, other people are HAPPY during Christmas season? Weird. Y'all must actually like your families or something.
