Mowgli among us, we zip through our days lobbying for affordable inhalers.

ON THE ONE HAND…

I love this story and these photos. On the other hand, I’m concerned about some of the tenses used in describing this so called real life Mowgli and the radio silence on who she is now. But I’m afraid to look it up because just because.

PUTTIN’ ON THE FITS: Recently I had the distinct unpleasantness of donning a rental tuxedo for a important social function. It was a fairly horrible experience. The pants were clownishly oversized, the shirt was voluminous, and the shoes were painful. It was as if the importance of measurements had vanished in the era of vanity sizing. It made me understand the importance and worth of a tailor. Also, one or two of these would have been handy.

SORT OF MAYBE KIND OF PROBABLY SOMEWHAT NSFW PUBLIC ART OF THE DAY: At the crossroads of oh that’s nasty and totally balls, this.

FIRST RESPONDERS REQUEST OF THE DAY: This is a thing? Because. The feck.

THOR 2: Christopher Eccleston shows his face.

What the hell kind of elf is this? Also, squeal!

VP THREADS: Well there you have it.

HOW CATS SEE THE WORLD: This is not a punchline. This makes me look at my puss in a new way.

WOULD YOU LIKE A SIDE OF SUBSIDIES WITH THAT? Because it looks like this is what we are doing here. 

THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING: 

It’s about damn time. Some Einstein invented a one handed magnetic zipper. BOOM!

IS IT JUST ME…or does this seem to take things to new levels of ick? Aside from the usual privacy issues, you’ve got to worry about some private contractor data mining your life while checking out your assets. I’m only thinking about the ladies here. Obviously. Don’t even misunderstand the choice of adjectives in that example.

YES PLEASE! Hey – it’s Fall. It’s all about comfort food, amiright? I’m totally right.

WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG? The things I worry about these days are far stranger than the things I worried about 20 years ago whenever I worried about anything geopolitical. Which, now that I think about it, was way more than I should be comfortable admitting (NERD). But still.

OLD TIMEY MODERN PSA’s OF THE DAY:

  

See the series, created by Sean Tejaratchi, over here.

YOUR OBITUARY OF THE WEEK: I will empty a 9 oz bag tonight in his honor. 

KURT WOULD BE SO PISSED: The Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame announced the nominations for the class of 2014. There are some surprises, and then there some bigger surprises. But whatever the case, you can be sure that Gene Simmons is going to talk @$%# about most of his fellow nominees.

HEART WRENCHING: This.

HEY ALANIS: Now this is ironic. Also, poetic.

LUNARCY:

Zach Dougherty has whipped up some pretty amusing out-of-context gifs.

REALLY? I don’t think I should admit to having done this for the past 9 minutes. I WAS DISTRACTED.

HEALTH CARE REFORM: It begins with common sense and by the looks of things, we don’t really have it. It’s bought and sold.

SPEAKING OF: I hold these folks responsible for much of what is wrong with our current system of governance. At least have the stones to stand up for what you do.

MUSEUM WORTHY: These are some real works of art.

PLEASE LOUISE, PULL ME OFF A MY KNEES:

INCOMING!
