Under a Gibbous Moon

Why indeed?

Now I’ll be the first to admit that I don’t watch a lot of TV as I don’t have cable or even a TV antenna. Because of this, I was only tangentially aware of the recent Old Spice (which is apparently cool to wear again) ad campaign. And by tangentially, I mean I’ve never actually seen one of the ads, but I’m pretty sure that this is funnier.

The saying that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure is especially true when it includes a pound of buckshot. With that in mind, I present this helpful poster. Print it out and hang it on your wall so if the time comes, you’ll know when and how to administer the cure.

I just saw a commercial for a product from Bayer. They have now made a wake up aspirin product for the mornings. It includes aspirin and the alertness aid caffeine. Congratulations boys! You have now combined a blood thinner and a vasoconstrictor. You can get the one step forward that you know and trust now with one step back! Next you can light your money on fire and cheer as it burns!

I am, like most people, not particularly fond of spiders. Damn things are always crawling around where you don’t want them and leaving their webs right at head height across every sidewalk they can find.

A man in England took his dislike of spiders to the extreme when, in an attempt to get rid of it, managed to blow himself up. Flammable gases and open flame just do not mix. The man received burns to his arms, legs, and face, the remains of the spider were not recovered.

Warning signs will now be placed on all old Bill Murray comedies lest someone destroy the universe trying to cross the streams.
