90% of "Occupy London" Tents are Empty at Night

Oh, snap!

Passport, the blog by editors of the venerable publication Foreign Policy, includes the following report:

Despite having served for years as a distinguished Pakistani diplomat, Akbar Zeb reportedly cannot receive accreditation as Pakistan's ambassador to Saudi Arabia. The reason, apparently, has nothing to do with his credentials, and everything to do with his name -- which, in Arabic, translates to "biggest dick"[.]

[snip - oww!]

According to this Arabic-language article in the Arab Times, Pakistan had previously floated Zeb's name as ambassador to the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain, only to have him rejected for the same reason. One can only assume that submitting Zeb's name to a number of Arabic-speaking countries is some unique form of punishment designed by the Pakistani Foreign Ministry -- or the result of a particularly egregious cockup.

Anyone laughing will be sent to gladiatorial school.

p.s. Yes, I know the title is slightly wrong.

Earlier today someone hit G&S having used the term "Drunk Women" to search the "images" section of Google in German. Backtracking, we determined that we weren't even on the first page of his results, so he must have checked out quite a few images before arriving here.

"Now I'm Going to Suck Your Feet."

From The Smoking Gun:

SEPTEMBER 11--Meet Carlton Davis. The Minnesota man, 26, is facing felony charges for allegedly stealing a cell phone and purse from a woman he mugged on a St. Paul street early Saturday morning. According to police, after the woman turned over her belongings, Davis announced, "Now I'm going to suck your feet." Which he did, after the 24-year-old victim removed her shoes. Davis, who fled when passerby approached, was apprehended by cops a few blocks from the crime scene.

I guess I'm just old-fashioned. You mean there are bars now where all you have to do to get laid is drop a quarter in a slot? Damn. You've pretty much got your March of Western Civilization summed up right there.

Al Gore Our Inspiration

We were frankly skeptical on the subject of "carbon offsets." That's the practice of reducing or eliminating one's "carbon footprint" by paying someone else to do something that sounds environmentally friendly. Partly our thinking was informed by the fact that Al Gore promoted such things, thus leading to the presumption that it was some kind of scam. Partly our lack of enthusiasm resulted from certain disturbing historical parallels that, shall we say, didn't work out very well.

But that's all changed. What was lost now is found!

And that's not all! You can get your very own carbon offsets at Free Carbon Offsets.

Coming Soon to a Theater Near You

True or False? This is a real movie:

A Gainesville Florida auto upholsterer attempts to transcend his mundane life by taming a wild, red-tailed hawk. He chases his passion while caring for his autistic nephew, and becoming caught up in an abstract and uneasy relationship with a young psychology student.

Time's up, and the answer is:



Hat tip to the girls, who (inevitably) have their very own take on this.

Same Old Same Old

You know those eight eco-friendly rich guys (and one rich girl) who had that meeting in South Carolina last night? You know, the meeting that all of the networks did free advertising for? You know, THIS meeting:



Well, guess how all these Nanny State true believers, each of whom has a long list of commands for you to follow in order to fight Global Warming (peace be upon it) got to last night's debate? Yup. You guessed it. You'd a thunk at least one of these buffoons would have bicycled in just as a stunt. But their contempt for the average American apparently prevents even gestures.
