Girls who are sad should take a pill

The best part of my occasional medication-checkup visits to the psychiatrist’s office is the brochures. No, really. The drug companies produce these things, which don’t mention any specific drug but urge you to deal with your problem. I’ve posted some pictures of swag and brochures before. Today’s offering is “Balanced”, a look at one housewife’s indoctrination in to the proper way to handle her problems. It seriously looks like that comic strip “Baby Blues”. Also, note older male psychologist authority figure and emphasis on Women Problems.

Balanced!

The American Fuck Yeah Association

Driving down Westcliff Avenue last night I was obstructed by a big RV that was drifting in and out of lanes. The damned thing was so wide it could barely fit in one lane and was bumbling about dangerously. I passed the monster with a wide berth, tapping my horn and thinking “probably some drunk who lives in his RV.” Then I noticed it was painted all over with ads, logos, and signs. Racing team? Soft drink promotion? What the…

Yes, there is such a thing as the American Tailgate Association.

The American Tailgaters Association (ATA) was founded for several reasons. The “sport” of tailgating has become a national phenomenon as a recreational activity, yet there has never been a venue for tailgaters to come together in a single place.until now!

The ATA will allow tailgaters all across our great nation to meet in forums, discuss the best tailgating places, talk about their favorite teams or sports, find discount merchandise, post pictures, and generally be the one stop tailgaters “community”.

[…]

Our desire is to promote ATA membership and our corporate partners and we believe by offering an entertaining, interactive, cost-effective and ever-expanding experience, our membership will in turn promote organizational allegiance, brand loyalty and name recognition for our corporate partners and ourselves.

An outstanding characteristic of my country is our inability to have fun without creating an association with bylaws, getting corporate sponsors, copyrighting and trademarking it, having an annual competition, and finally and inevitably adopting a mission and vision statement. See: Little League, car stereo enthusiasts, etc.

I think I’ll call you “appetite”.

  1. Baristas, coffee obsessives and others may enjoy Ursi’s links to Latte Art today.
  2. I expect weird stuff to happen in Southern California, but not an official Catholic heresy trial in San Bernardino. (Bugmenot if you get registration honk)
  3. From these illustrations it would appear that 17th century eye doctors would put donuts on your eyes.
  4. Beware of fraudulent flu cures.
  5. I do not claim to understand why the World’s Fastest Clown would be an effective anti-drug program for kids. (obvious coulrophobia warning for miss_education and others)
  6. Here are some useful cover sheets for the TPS reports at your office (PDF). Those of you who work with actual secret information should probably not use them. Thanks, ‘Vark!!
  7. I wonder if spacemummy has done any Mexican wrestling movies?

Kicks just keep gettin’ harder to find

  1. If you think diesels aren’t fast enough, try taking on the new Audi R10 race car. The engine itself is something of a marvel.
  2. In Mexico there is a more…. relaxed attitude towards using people as circus freaks for humorous purpose. Hence, Mexican Midget Rodeo. Hence, one of the performers having a very, very bad day with a bull. At least he wasn’t also lit on fire.
  3. mendel points me to Regret The Errors 2005 roundup of corrections, including a magnificent Error of the Year. I’m reminded of the time our local rag broke the iron rule: do not repeat the error in the caption. One morning a correction said: “In Tuesday’s issue, there was an incorrect photo caption. The caption that should have read “Mrs. Buffy Buffington III and her daughter, Tiffany, at the Babes in Toyland Gala for Pediatric AIDS at the Marriott.” Instead, it read “CRACK BABIES.”
  4. Say hello to our new Berlin San Diego Wall, which will fuck the environment hard and not keep anyone out. As Ronald Reagan once said, Mr. President, tear down that wall.
