Wyatt just came in second in the 400. And the kid who came in first looked, like, 12-years-old. Just sayin’.

I thought we eradicated that.

Special needs student told he can't wear varsity letter jacket

Special needs student told he can't wear varsity letter jacket:

Officials at Wichita East (Kan.) HS are under fire after a special needs student was told he could not wear a varsity letter jacket because he was not competing at a varsity level.

The parent who complained that this kid should not wear a letter jacket can GO FUCK THEMSELVES!

So, a mom of a special needs student, who played on an extracurricular basketball team, bought her son a letter jacket. And another parent of a varsity athlete student said the special needs kid shouldn’t wear it because they’re a total fucking shit-stain.

How much of a fucking waste of humanity do you have to be to deprive a special needs student of this small bit of goddamn joy?

Oh, and bravo to the school staff who agreed with the motherfucking parent and forced the kid to remove the jacket. They deserve all the hate being thrown at them for being perfect examples of walking-and-talking assholes.

We just might do one soon, so you can see the chaos as it unfolds.

I knew we had fully morphed from hedonistic individuals into full-blown parents the other day when my wife responded to my mention of having changed our son's diaper with "Was there a lot of corn? There has been a lot of corn lately..." By the way, I lov

Thanks! I’m glad you dig the book. But, why so anonymous, anon?

I remember when I was first getting into social media and there was that famous (and later revealed to be fake) Tina Fey twitter account. Whoever was running it totally had her voice down, though. Anyway, the first tweet I read on that account was just this: “I don’t know why I even bother chewing corn anymore.”

I contacted a representative from Colemom, makers of the controversial 1.5 person breastfeeding tent, to see what in all the hecks and dangs this was all about! To investigate why nursing moms needed to enrobe themselves in personal camping gear to hide a part of Nature itself from humanity, uh…themselves!

HAH! The audacity! Threatening to call the police because of a simple inquiry or two or 18! We all know what all that really meant in corporate bulldook-ese! They’re basically proclaiming that people are revolted at being human and will go to any lengths (or at least pay $39.99) to block it out until we can become robots and rise up against the poor remaining few!!!

The foolishness! The madness!! The inhumanity!!!

There’s an old expression, in many languages, “don’t shhh…uh, don’t go poopsies where you eat.” Wise words! But, the reverse is too remember-to-breath obvious that it didn’t get a colorfully-worded saying. Think about it, though. How would you like to eat food where you sh…on the toilet? Or in a hot car, fitting room, back alley or abandoned cargo container!

I guess maybe breastfeeding women will be in the market for wearable breastfeeding tents as long humanity is dead set on becoming robots.
