“All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.” – Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-1860)

Advertising Age has a great list of products and services made popular in Japan, that may be imported into the US. My personal favorite, the ramen noodle spa.
Mental Floss has discovered the stupidest invention ever…or at least the stupidest invention ever, for today.
How could anything top the stupidity of the previous marvel, the Hula Chair, you ask? With this modern feat of science, you are able to slam 24 ounces of beer down your throat at an all-time high speed. The website’s page is loaded with pleasant disclaimers they do not want to be responsible for, although it seems they forgot, “Bierstick is not responsible for stupid frat boys who own one of our products and rape women while under the influence of our product.”
Seriously, if you want one of these, why not just start shooting up heroin and stop wasting the time and money on killing your body and mind with something like beer?
Cute Overload has the cutest little deer with an equally sweet story attached. A couple found this little baby deer on the side of the road where its mommy was just ran over. The couple took it upon themselves to nurse the baby back to health.
It hangs out with kitties, takes walks and tries to nurse on a Great Dane. How much more adorable can you get?
On the discussion side of things, what will happen to little Jet grows up? Surely they can’t have a full grown deer in their house and I don’t think you can just let a little guy like that back into the wild. I’m not saying what they did isn’t sweet and wonderful, but what do you think they will need to do in the future?

For My Father
I have a hard time writing about my dad. For one thing, I love and respect him more than anyone else I’ve ever met. For another, I know that he really loved his daughters more than anything else in this whole world. I’m not very good with organizing my thoughts and putting them down on paper when it comes to things I’m so passionate and biased about.
Pussy and the Little Mouse, How Cute!!!!
The Daily Mail has a story about a regular house cat who has become best friends with bear at a zoo in Berlin. It’s seriously f-ing adorable. They had to put the bear, Maeuschen -or “little mouse,” away while they renovated his living space and his buddy, Muschi -German for “pussy,” wailed outside of his cage without him. Keepers put the kitty back in the bear cage and they cuddled and were happy again. I’m going to go cry and vomit while filled with this cuteness. Excuse me.

Ema Enema: A Short Story
Here’s a silly story I wrote a long time ago with some very adult themes. It has a bit of a fairy tale edge to it, so it reads pleasantly. Let me know if you like it, many people will be weirded out by it.
