I just don’t have time to watch a lot of animation since my kids grew up. I did get a lot of laughs out of The Tick back in the day.

Most Sinful Cities in America (2025)
As always, I’m interested in the flip side. We all know that there is mischief in Vegas, the Big Easy, NY, LA and Miami, but where is the LEAST sinful place in America?
It turns out that I’m almost living there. My guess was that it had to be in Utah, and there was a place called West Valley City, UT near the top, or bottom as the case may be. But imagine my surprise when the least sinful was Madison, Wisconsin among cities with a quarter-million people or more. I know we’re boring in the Midwest, but I had no idea that we are more boring than Utah.
I’m suspicious of that ranking. Madison is a college town with a gigantic university population (50,000 students plus staff) dominating a relatively small city (250,000, more or less). I don’t spend much time there, and I wouldn’t have an inside view since I’m boring to begin with, but I’m thinking there must be plenty of sin if you look for it. I think it is probably more sinful than West Valley City, UT.

President Denies Writing 36-Volume Comic Titled ‘Don And Jeff: Time Pedophiles’
In a nationwide poll conducted by Pew Research Center, 84% of respondents called the comic unpresidential and said they were disturbed by the Time Pedophiles traveling back to ancient Egypt in the “Groom Like An Egyptian” storyline and getting two breastlike pyramids constructed in their honor for molesting 14-year-old Cleopatra. In addition, 77% were appalled by the Time Pedophiles rescuing Joan of Arc from being burnt at the stake only to heave her back into the blaze upon learning she was 19.
Child sex offenders Don and Jeff flee a T-Rex, remodel the Great Sphinx of Giza in Jeff’s image, fight samurai, and briefly rescue Joan of Arc.

10 Famous People Who Claim to Have Seen Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena
The highlights of the list:
- Alicia Keys revealed that she has not only seen a UFO, she’s ‘met some aliens’ in her life.
- Ariana Grande told Complex magazine that although she’s never actually seen a UFO, she’s seen a ghost and a demon.
Who can decipher the ways of those aliens? They bypass all of Earth’s leaders to speak directly to Alicia Keys. Those alien dudes must really love their jazz-infused R&B. I wonder if they got her autograph.
Although the aliens’ vast intelligence and sophisticated musical tastes are clearly far beyond our ken, Earth music is surprisingly popular throughout the universe. Not many people realize it, but the most popular musical group in the entire galaxy is actually Earth’s own Dino, Desi and Billy. In some remote corners of the Milky Way there are entire religions that worship Sam the Sham and the Pharaohs.
I would mention that aliens also like Celine Dion, but that’s not surprising because she is obviously one of them. You would know that if you had those Roddy Piper glasses.
Or eyes.
Matilda De Angelis see-thru

Christoph Waltz sure is creepy for a good-looking guy. He’s like Jeremy Irons with a weird accent. I think it’s the voice that makes those two creepy. So, there’s a topic for discussion. Which actor has the creepiest voice. Is it one of those two? Is it Til Schweiger? Willem Dafoe? Vincent Price? Peter Lorre? Or another player to be named later?
If Bobby Kennedy Jr. became an actor, in addition to a roadkill fancier and brainworm host, he’d get my vote.
“Mr. President, our estimate based on the company numbers … is Americans will lose 135 billion pounds by the midterms.”
That’s what Dr. Oz told the President.
You all better get started on your share. That means the average American needs to lose 400 pounds.
“20 Photos Teenagers Today Won’t Get At All”
I always love lists like this one because they demonstrate how fast things come and go. We live in a disposable world where landfills are filled with old technology, and immense fields are filled with old tires.
Questions: How does one operate that TV without a remote? I’ve never seen one like that. Do you use those sliders to change the channel? If not, how do you change the channel, and what are the sliders for?
One more question: Are cigarette machines really gone completely? What happened to them? Are they scrap metal, or are they in the third world somewhere?
Answer from the comments:
I’ve seen where they’ve repurposed cigarette machines as Art-O-Mat machines as a way to distribute art.
Kid Rock says he was a “retard” for Halloween
He drew an immediate rebuke from the Special Olympics.
Michael Che explains that they made a mistake:
Irina Shayk as Cicciolina for Halloween
She looks just like her, but does anyone remember the porn star turned politician?
I like the concept. I think I’m also going to dress as a person nobody remembers. I can’t choose between Horst Wessel, a Cliquot Club Eskimo, Ish Kabibble and Joe Biden.
I can’t actually go as Ish for Halloween because I can’t commit to the haircut. If you don’t remember Ish, you’ve probably seen his doppelganger. Jim Carrey used his exact look (and a lot of his schtick) to play Lloyd Christmas in Dumb and Dumber.
I think I can go as Biden. He and I have the same dance moves. It’s an American tradition for the Presidents. The founding fathers wanted poor dancing to be a requirement for the American Presidency, but Ben Franklin got them all drunk and they forgot to add it into the Constitution, so George Washington slipped through the cracks. (He was reputed to be an excellent dancer.) Then, in honor of Washington’s unique stature in American history, they didn’t want any future Presidents to duplicate his unanimous victory in the electoral college or his good dancing, so many states specified that voting rights belonged only to property-holding white men. They weren’t racist or sexist, as most people believe, they simply couldn’t allow even the remotest possibility that a good dancer would be elected.
NOTE: The part about Washington being a good dancer was true.
One commenter suggested that if I really wanted to go for the “forgotten” vibe, I could dig in my closet for a v-neck sweater and go as Howard Dean. Demonstrating how on-point that was, I had to use Wikipedia to see whether Dean was still alive. He is, and is younger than Trump! (As are Bush and Clinton.)
While on Wikipedia, I found this nugget:
Although raised as an Episcopalian, Dean joined a Congregational church in 1982 after a dispute with the local Episcopal diocese over a bike trail.
Theologians have believed since time immemorial that the basis for all spiritual belief should be the proper use of old railroad right-of-ways.
Yes, the ancient prophets foresaw a future with railroads. Hey, they were prophets. Foreseein’ shit was their job.
Anyway, that’s the same thing that made me a Zoroastrian for a brief time in the hippie era.
Hey, I got better.
I finally came to my senses when I came down from that trip and realized that Zoroastrians didn’t worship Zorro.
Which is something of a shame.
The one I really wanted to worship was Zorro’s dad, Burro. Maybe you remember his song:
Burro,
The ass so cunning and free
Burro –
He makes the sign of the B.
Unfortunately, Burro’s vigilantism came to an untimely end. One of his typical, daring, last-minute escapes failed because it took him too long to form a B with his sword. Upon seeing that, his son changed his name from Burro Jr. to Zorro, and the rest is history.
