Retraction

So. I have to take back what I said about the Mets being better than the Marlins. They’re equally mediocre. Although, the Mets have a four time larger payroll than the Fish, so someone’s not getting their bang for the buck.

Education fail

All the cool kids hang out in the Scohol Zone. (It was eventually corrected.)

IQ Test Fail

Here’s a shot of an ad for one of those random “IQ Tests”. This question is reasonably compelling, so I took a few minutes to figure it out.

Clicking on the ad, I landed on a page where you could take this test, for I was hoping the rest of the exam would be fairly interesting. At the bottom was a list of four answers to choose from, although there was the minor issue of the correct answer not being listed. (Click to see the choices.)

Dear random Lakers fan

keep talking rocket lovers we will see where your at after game 6

Seriously, what sort of taunt do you have lined up, “HAHA we beat a team with two All-Stars out for the season” ? (Well, except it would have worse grammar and spelling.)

Baseball

If a Major League team finds itself 9 1/2 games out of first place on Apr 20, that usually means it’s not a good baseball team.

It looks the Washington Nationals are starting to figure out a good bullpen is not optional. (And the Marlins would like to thank the Nats for padding their win total.)

And yes, almost every non-Yankee fan enjoyed hearing about that 22-4 debacle.

This week I’m in Miami, and forgot the Monday Fighter! files at home. Monday Fighter! will be back next week.

March Madness victory

Congratulations to Derek Slater of Reassembler for winning this year’s LEP March Madness bracket! Landing in the 56th percentile of all brackets nationally, he proved once again that mediocrity is usually good enough. He wins…the glory of this post.

In the meantime, we are working hard to blame the overall poor showing on bad luck and that we have higher priorities than analyzing college basketball (as opposed to sheer incompetence).

What happened to Jack T. Chick?

Jack T. Chick is a name I’ve not heard for some time. He’s famous for his tracts.

Probably the most famous one is “This is Your Life”, one of his older creations (the website says copyright 2002, but it’s far older than that). It contained a simple story contrasting how two men lived their lives, clearly presenting the basics of Christianity.

Then there’s “The Last Generation”. Even for someone familiar with the theology of the Rapture and Tribulation, it was bizarre, confusing and ridiculous. (If you do go read the whole thing, count the number of digs he takes at Catholicism.)

The story includes a boy wearing a neo-Nazi school uniform who learns how to sacrifice pets in class. Like I said, utterly bizarre.

You know he's evil, 'cause he's bald, dressed like one of the X-Men, and offering free drugs.

The most frightening dystopias have some connection to reality.  This aspect is not captured here.

(The boy vaguely resembles me when I was about 6, but in looks only. I wasn’t into cussing and animal sacrifice.)

Cool under fire

“I knew what this was, I, I just went to test it, that’s all.”

This show is addictive.

Logic Fail #2

There are 3 major “species” of humans. We don’t call them different species for political reasons, but they ARE different species….

I call them “species” based on the definition that different species won’t try to mate with each other. I find one “species” females…well let’s just stop it at “I wouldn’t touch them with a 10ft pole”. I consider one “races” women to not be “true” women. I find no sexual desire for them. Unless of course crossbred with a LOT of the other races first.

Because there are NO interracial couples in the world. This guy has to be a troll, right? (From same article linked to in prior post.)
