Hey Erica, I need a little help in the kitchen...

You know, making the sauce.

Xtreme!

The 630-yard par 3.



Story here.

Yes, I know those guys are pros, but the fact that they even came close to the green is ridiculous. At that distance, the miss per degree off-line is 33 feet. Throw in some wind, and those shots are unbelievable.

What's wrong with these women?

I want you to take that question seriously. Before you get to the bottom of this post, I want you to figure out what these 6 women have in common, according to some bullshit article I saw about the latest fashion trend. I fucking DARE you to figure this out.

OK, one at a time:

Were you thinking that the newest trend is "bushy" eyebrows?




I didn't think so. I hate people.

That's some magical lubricant!

You know, I was going to buy a Nissan GT-R. I figure I've got $75,000 burning a hole in my pocket, why not? Good thing I did the research, though. Turns out the 18K service costs $2,000, and that's if you shop around for your own supplies.

The primary culprit? Ten quarts of tranny fluid. Retailing at $115 per quart, but the guys at Edmunds found it for $85.

I really want to know what's in $115 tranny fluid. It had better involve the blood of aborted fetuses, the tears of the baby jeebus (maybe with a dash of Glenn Beck), and baby seal blubber.

Mmmmm, cider

One (hundred) beeellion dollars...

Zimbabwe's troubled central bank introduced $100 billion banknotes Saturday in a desperate bid to ease the recurrent cash shortages plaguing the inflation-ravaged economy.

The bills officially come into circulation Monday, although they were on the foreign currency dealers market Saturday.

As high as they are, though, the bills still aren't enough to buy a loaf of bread. They can buy only four oranges.

The new note is equal to just one U.S. dollar.

As Atrios says, Wheeeeeeeee!

Doubleyoo Tee Eff

I'm dumbfounded by how completely misleading this headline is.



Wow. Really? She must have really been a super-mega-bitch on the set right? Throwing tantrums, demanding big trailers, making crazy catering requests, etc? Fuck, we hate her...





Oh. Um... never mind then.

Hey, whatever gets you clicks, right?

I'm good at math and all...

...but this just blows my mind:

The impact on consumers of the inflation juggernaut is now such that prices of basic goods like bread, when available, go up by 30-40 percent per day.

For example, the price of a loaf of bread on Monday which stood at 60 billion Zimbabwe dollars -- one US dollar at the then black market rate but 400 according to the official exchange -- had risen to 100 billion little more than 24 hours later.

A three-star hotel in the capital has been hiking its room rates by around 300 percent every three days and in the latest round of increases, rates shot up from around four trillion dollars to 10 trillion.



That's not inflation. That's not even money!

Happy 4th, everyone

Making eye-babies

I can't tell if this is funny or scary.

Even couples who are not talking or touching can be reprimanded. Sabrina Poirier, a student at Pensacola who withdrew in 1997, was disciplined for what is known on the campus as "optical intercourse" — staring too intently into the eyes of a member of the opposite sex. This is also referred to as "making eye babies." While the rule does not appear in written form, most students interviewed for this article were familiar with the concept.


There's a whole lot more. And these people are running the government....

America!

Harvey now works part time for $8 an hour, and she draws Social Security to help make ends meet. But she still cannot afford an apartment, and so every night she pulls into a gated parking lot to sleep in her car, along with other women who find themselves in a similar predicament.

There are 12 parking lots across Santa Barbara that have been set up to accommodate the growing middle-class homelessness. These lots are believed to be part of the first program of its kind in the United States, according to organizers.

Jeez, I suppose pinko commie liberal DFH-types think there should be ways to help these people. But what we really need are more tax cuts, so the riches trickle down.

This is bad, but it will not prove to be the "ultimate"

IrvineHousingBlog has another ridiculous house-as-ATM scenario, the largest one he's found yet.

Take out 1 million dollars in 5 years, and just mail in the keys.
