Where the fun(ny) never stops
Former Richmond aide admits to bilking city - San Jose Mercury News
Once upon a mayoral campaign, I distinctly remember then-candidate -- later Mayor -- Gayle McLaughlin (pictured, somewhere on the campaign trail in 2006) remarking on how things would change in city hall if she were elected...
[Parin] Shah was an aide to Mayor Gayle McLaughlin before he was fired in 2008.
Nope, looks the same from here. Gotta love that "Pride & Purpose"...

Lunchtime Granola for 3/13/9
Chugworth Academy
I don't follow the webcomic closely -- and Dave Cheung seems to have shifted gears to his Boss Noodle project -- but I became aware of it via Deviantart, and he has other interesting stuff there as well.

Help control the pet population...
...pass the blue Kool-aid.
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. – Ten children at a day care center drank windshield wiper fluid after a staffer served it from a container mistaken for Kool-Aid and placed in a refrigerator, authorities said Friday.
Um, wow. You're not just dumb, you're ARKANSAS DUMB!

NKorea schedules rocket launch between April 4-8: Yonhap
The fun part is that North Korea filed a flight advisory with the International Civil Aviation Organization, which you can see here. It even includes a map identifying "danger areas." Although the advisory doesn't specify what's so dangerous about the "danger areas," a test of rocketry could mean a few things: 1) they're places where booster stages might be falling, 2) "ditch" areas in case there's an accident and they need to drop it somewhere, and/or 3) along the same lines, "target" areas where they intend the rocket to come down.
Keeping in mind that the launch site -- Musudan-ri -- is located by the top-left corner of "F" in "FIR PYONGANG ZKKP" -- is there anything we can discern by looking at these images?

Closeup of "Danger Area 1"

Wideview, with both "Danger Areas."
It's bad enough that North Korea is shooting this rocket over Japan -- just north of the Kanto area, the most heavily populated -- but if you draw a line on those zones, you're headed for...

Pearl Harbor.
Dear Leader, THIS is why you're so "ronery."

Dawn of The Dead Meets Nickelodeon
I just like this image. It's pretty creepy at first. But it captures the whole kids adventure novel cover thing really well. Props to the artist Jason Chan.
He's got a lot of other cool images on his site. Check it out.

A life unfulfilled is...
...this?
If Jeff's arms were this short, I'm pretty sure he'd use that cleaver to behead himself for lack of being able to, err..."behead himself."
Hilarity found at random on the sidebar of Cracked.
Is it stop motion animation or real?
Mardi Gras from Keith Loutit on Vimeo.
A nice posting from Neatorama featuring a weird photography technique that makes real images look like stop motion.
Photographer Keith Loutit has mastered the art of tilt-shift photography– that is, a technique requiring a special camera lens to impart the illusion that what you’re looking at are miniatures, not life-sized human beings. When he locks the camera down and shoots hundreds of successive pics, it becomes a movie. He recently took his camera down to Sydney’s Mardi Gras celebration to capture the doll-sized fun.

Granola ALERT: 3/12/9
Fellow Mining Drone 'Young Ted Danson' wants to know: "Jeff, were you in Texas over the weekend?" A: Signs point to yes.
“The sad thing about it all is these dogs have had raw, red and bloody rear ends,” the volunteer said. “I just don’t want to think what they are doing to them.”
Neither do I. Neither...do...I...

Fashion: That's a good look for you. Clown-tranny is in right now.
Woman in the iron mask and Cruella de catwalk star in Alexander McQueen's surrealist Paris show | Mail Online
So many of McQueen's staple looks - thigh boots, corset dresses, bondage straps, goat hair coats - have seeped into the collections of others, albeit in a watered-down way, that it was wonderful to see their originator reclaim them as his own again.
A tall pyre of crushed car parts, wrecked chairs and tin cans served as a centrepoint to the show, round which the models walked in stacked heels that were the highest seen in Paris so far. That's saying something.
Tuck those tits back in, sweetie!

Every State with a Shitty 10 year GDP, Please just Leave the Union

Some states push back against stem cell research
Can't we just please let them leave the union and form their own "Jesus-o-stan" in the fucking center of this country. These people are just dragging our shit down...
A showdown is shaping up in some of the nation's most conservative states over embryonic stem cell research, as opponents draw language and tactics from the battle over abortion to counter President Barack Obama's plan to ease research restrictions.
Can't we just please let them leave the union and form their own "Jesus-o-stan" in the fucking center of this country. These people are just dragging our shit down...

What's honeydew you ask? Aphid shit. That's right, it's a fancy word for aphid shit. It must be really tasty to ants, since they will stop pretending to be mindless machines just to get some ass-juice.

Jeff can beat that. How about Ambien, Rockstar, various crazy meds and Dust Remover
She was a pre-med student on her way to becoming a surgeon, but the trauma of being molested as a child and her parents’ brutal divorce haunted Allison. She started to inhale computer dust remover, which is potentially fatal with each breath. Her erratic behavior and absence from classes got Allison dropped from the pre-med program. Allison is currently inhaling up to ten cans of dust remover a day. Can interventionist Jeff help Allison and her family?
