This guy proposes installing chewing gum targets in urban areas to encourage people to stick their unwanted gum into a designated area.

I have an idea… tinkle-corners for subway stations. That way no one will pee on the turnstiles.

Johnny Applesandal is a sandal that contains seeds in its soles. As the soles wear away, they deposit seeds of phytoremdiating plants where you walk. And this person is walking on stone.

Let’s play spot the sexual euphemism at the Minnesota State Fair. It’s easy! Just look at any picture with food vendors, and go to it! Hah…”go to it..”

Dammit…the pic with the “Hawaiian Shave Ice” stand came out fuzzy…heh…”came out fuzzy”

From the AP article:

A group representing California religious schools has filed a lawsuit accusing the University of California system of discriminating against high schools that teach creationism and other conservative Christian viewpoints.

The Association of Christian Schools International, which represents more than 800 schools, filed a federal lawsuit Thursday claiming UC admissions officials have refused to certify high school science courses that use textbooks challenging Darwin’s theory of evolution. Other rejected courses include “Christianity’s Influence in American History.”

Here’s a Flickr gallery.

The images were shot by different photographers, and captioned by different photo wire services. The Associated Press caption accompanying the image with a black person says he’s just finished “looting” a grocery store. The AFP/Getty Images caption describes lighter skinned people “finding” bread and soda from a grocery store. No stores are open to sell these goods.

From law.com:

When FBI supervisors in Miami met with new interim U.S. Attorney Alex Acosta last month, they wondered what the top enforcement priority for Acosta and Attorney General Alberto Gonzales would be.

Would it be terrorism? Organized crime? Narcotics trafficking? Immigration? Or maybe public corruption?

The agents were stunned to learn that a top prosecutorial priority of Acosta and the Department of Justice was none of the above. Instead, Acosta told them, it’s obscenity. Not pornography involving children, but pornographic material featuring consenting adults.

Going back to the fair today. Gonna work the U of MN booth for a while .

I am REALLY looking forward to the candy bar on a stick. It was so good. I can’t believe it. I cry about it at night.

Right next to this meatball dinner on a stick booth is a booth selling Nitro Ice Cream. It tastes like sweet butter. I can’t believe they call it vanilla flavor, I would’ve just called it butter. I think they claim it is flash frozen, and that proffers the notion of it being Nitro. Try to figure that out – while you do, I’m going to get more of it today.

In case you can’t read it, the sign proclaims the live birth shows…pigs, lambs, and cows – plus hatchings of ducks and chicks. I like the exhibit because it has a little burro named “Burrito” that likes its head petted. Nobody pays attention to the ass, they’re too busy ogling the pigs trying to grab teats. Thank you MN State Fair, without this I would never have noted that baby animals don’t smell like human baby. They smell like farm shit.
