Too Stupid for Words category archive

Would you prefer an olive or a twist?

Funny how people believe any old stuff they read on the internet, I guess because electrons can’t lie or liars can’t electron. Or something.

I stopped listening to that show a long time ago. It’s too inside Washington baseball for me. Diane Rehm is usually a good interviewer and will ask tough questions–she’s not a craven tool like Chuck Todd–but this was really too stupid for words.

Oh, my. Geeky toy wielded by narcissistic nobody derails search during a flood.

Shoal Creek spilled out to the road on Memorial Day, leaving Lamar Boulevard and nearby streets suddenly flooded. As rescue crews assisted many who were stranded in rushing water, STAR Flight planned to fly over the area.

STAR Flight called off a search operation after a safety officer with the Austin Fire Department on the ground reported a drone near the aircraft, officials said.

Speaking of obnoxious, intrusive instruments of self-gratification wielded by narcissistic nobodies , , , ,

A pickup truck driver in North Dakota was taking a selfie with his cellphone when he fatally stuck a triathlete from behind as she trained on her bicycle in eastern North Dakota and he then deleted photos from his phone, according to charges.

This was at least the third suspected instance in an 11-week-span of people dying in collisions in that part of North Dakota while drivers were using their phones.

(Emphasis added.)

Forensic data analysis can be a wonderful thing.

We are a society of stupid (and there is yet more stupid at the link).

Jesus.

In addition to raining robotic death from the sky, drones–the little ones, at least–are becoming the new selfies: obnoxious, intrusive instruments of self-gratification wielded by narcissistic nobodies.

Police questioned the operator of a drone spotted flying briefly above the third-base gate at Sunday’s Phillies game at Citizens Bank Park. No charges were filed.

Drone sightings have become increasingly common and worrisome over stadiums, especially during college and NFL games.

Is it just me, or is the silly season starting early this year?

Elizabeth Ann Harrison, 54, of Spring View Court was charged with third-degree assault and battery. She was placed in the Rock Hill city jail and released Thursday on a personal recognizance bond.

Harrison and another woman on Wednesday got into an argument at Restore Our Community over an upcoming fashion show the clients were preparing for, according to a police report. An employee told police she saw the two women arguing about “who was going to wear a particular dress in the show.”

Too many cameras at too many events in the hands of too many narcissistic prima donnas leads to no good.

A physical altercation between adults disrupted a promotion ceremony for hundreds of T.R. Smedberg Middle School eighth-graders at the Sheldon High School stadium Friday morning, triggering calls to the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Department, authorities said. . . .

Officers responding to the episode reported that the fight started when words were exchanged over one of the men blocking others by taking a photograph.

“Physical altercation,” indeed.

Afterthought:

Graduation ceremonies from middle school are silly and stupid.

Second Son had a graduation ceremony from pre-school to kindergarten. That was also silly and stupid.

Watch out for that tree!

Via Atrios.

Fantastically racist twits.

Aside:

Complaining that a movie is not “true to the comic”; bet they didn’t complain about Noah, which was not true to anything.

These folks need to stop trying to make Big Bang Theory reruns come alive and get a life.

From the stuff you can’t make up department: In Florida, some lawyers have got their briefs all in a twist.

You can’t make this stuff up twits.

As the Emperor Augustine is reputed to have said when presented with something too stupid for words, “Words fail me. Nothing I can say can express the depths of my feelings on this matter.”

As Frank Zappa said, “Plastic People, you’re such a drag.”

Status Update: Nabbed.

My ex was a nurse. Whenever she was a patient and had to wear a hospital gown, she would always grab two and wear one frontwards, the other backwards.

This summer, Methodist Hospital in St. Louis Park will join a select group of medical centers that are trying to close the dreaded gluteal gap patients get with most hospital gowns.

Beyond complaints about flimsy materials and faded colors, patients in focus groups have told the hospital they feel exposed with current gowns — in ways that promote an unnecessarily hierarchical relationship with caregivers.

For some fool reason (as my mother would have said), they need a study to confirm that persons don’t like walking around with their rear ends hanging out on public display.
