Eyes are closed, I wonder who each of them is REALLY thinking about.
Happy Friggday!! d;^)
That squirrel could be me.
Sorry I am late...I was out shoveling SNOW! UGH!
Reggie and Huma.
IN!!
A young man with his pants hanging half off his ass, two gold front teeth & a half inch thick gold chain around his neck, walked into the local welfare office to pick up his check.
He marched up to the counter and said, “Hi. you know, I just HATE drawing welfare. I’d really rather have a job. I don’t like taking advantage of the system, getting something for nothing.”
The social worker behind the counter said “Your timing is excellent. We just got a job opening from a very wealthy old man who wants a chauffeur and bodyguard for his beautiful daughter.
You’ll have to drive around in his 2016 Mercedes-Benz CL & he will supply all of your clothes.”
“Because of the long hours, meals will be provided. You’ll also be expected to escort the daughter on her overseas holiday trips. This is rather awkward but you will also have to satisfy her sexual urges as the Daughter is in her 20’s and has a strong sex drive.
The guy, wide-eyed, said, “You’re bullshittin’ me?
The social worker said, “Yeah, well . . . you started it.”
3. An academic article claimed that ski slopes are sexist. An assistant professor at Memorial University of Newfoundland wrote a real, actual academic article about how ski slopes are masculinized spaces. Yes, ski slopes, as in the hills with snow on them.
4. The War on Harambe More than one college banned references to the Late Great Harambe in 2016. Resident assistants at the University of Massachusetts warned students that any negative remarks regarding Harambe were direct attack[s] to our campuss African American community and that certain Harambe jokes were sexual assault incidences. Clemson University banned any reference to Harambe from dorm spaces over concerns of racism and rape culture. A poster at Florida State University warned students that Harambe Halloween costumes were cultural appropriation. Note: Harambe is not a culture; he was a gorilla at the Cincinnati Zoo.
5. The best and the brightest: A Harvard kid declared benches to be a racial issue. No, benches is not a code word here. I am literally talking about actual benches, as in the things people sit on in parks.
6. Privilege-checking became problematic. You know how social-justice warriors are always telling you to check your privilege to see how problematic you are? Well, according to an op-ed by a student at the University of CaliforniaBerkeley, privilege-checking is also problematic, because it just makes privileged people feel lucky. (What the hell we are supposed to do to please these people is not clear.)
7. Students at a university considered removing a Martin Luther King Jr. quote from a wall because it wasnt inclusive enough. A group of student leaders at the University of Oregon debated removing the famous I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character. I have a dream . . . quote from a wall in its student center because it talks only about racial discrimination and not discrimination based on things like gender identity . . . and thats just not inclusive enough.
8. A professor worried that her schools hawk mascot was so scary-looking that it might be making students incredibly emotionally distressed. Resmiye Oral, a professor at the University of Iowa, wrote an e-mail to the schools athletic department explaining that she was concerned that the schools mascot bird, a hawk named Herky, may have been traumatizing students and contributing to a culture of violence, depression, and suicide because he never appeared with a smiley facial expression.
9. Materials distributed by the University of Missouri declared that it is a microaggression to call a disabled person inspiring. Compliments are mean.
10. A student was hit with a safe space complaint for raising her hand. A student at Edinburgh University in Scotland said she was hit with a safe space complaint for raising her hand to disagree during a student-council meeting. The schools Safe Space Policy strictly forbade hand gestures which denote disagreement because apparently they are just too scary for adult students to handle.
11. Campus crime alerts have trigger warnings now. The University of Iowa put a trigger warning on a campus crime alert about a Peeping Tom on the loose, because apparently maintaining a metaphorical safe space is more important than making sure students know about a threat to their actual safety.
12. A football coach at Cornell University apologized for posting a photo of some of his players wearing sombreros. A member of the schools student assembly called the picture of two fully clothed people wearing fun hats an extremely offensive image.
13. A school canceled a performance of The Vagina Monologues because a white lady wrote it. The cancellation happened at Southwestern University in Texas. American University canceled their performance of the show, too, but for a different reason: It was not inclusive enough of women without vaginas.
14. A college outdoors club canceled an event over concerns that it was not inclusive enough to people who do not like to go outdoors. An outdoors club at the Claremont Colleges canceled its annual bikini hike because it implied bro-iness (as if thats a bad thing!) and just wasnt for everyone. Apparently, those kids dont realize that the entire purpose of clubs is to allow members to participate in interest-specific activities that are not for everyone. More P.C. Culture The Right Has Learned to Love Trolling Dear Feminists, Male Vulnerability Isnt a Virtue A New Years Request for the Left
15. A professor was accused of sexual harassment for saying that effort would count for 10 percent of the grade in his class. A professor at Brooklyn College of City University of New York had to change his syllabus because a part of it that said effort was 10 percent of the grade was deemed sexual harassment. What kind of sick person would think he meant effort performing sexual favors?
16. Oxford told its law students that they did not have to learn about rape or violence law if they found it too triggering. It is not clear whether or not these students are aware that they would not be allowed to leave a courtroom during a trial if they found it too triggering.

EXACTLY. Or the cat hangs around, wanders, complains, demands brushing, makes us walk back and forth from food bowl to back door to garage to food bowl to front door, etc. for 2 hours before bedtime. At bedtime, I always bring him upstairs from his nest on the couch in the family room. 9 times out of 10, he goes back downstairs within 5 minutes.
Either he's cuddling her or copping a feel. Can't be sure.
Looks like a from-the-front Heimlich maneuver.
IN! Top 9,000...
