Wordless Wednesday! Street Art
This is an incredible new mural painted recently in my city by Australian artist Vexta. She gets a super hero name and travels the world painting stuff like this. How cool is that? Photo by Jason Wilder. I could have taken my own picture with my cell phone, but honestly, I’m terrible at taking good pictures. Have a great Wednesday! ~Phil

Top Ten Tuesday! Ten Funny Tweets
These aren’t the ten funniest tweets I’ve ever read, but they are the ten funniest recent tweets I’m willing to put on my blog. Also, when I’m elected President, or Sexiest Man Alive, I’m going to pass a law that if you choose a Twitter name you have to keep it as your legal name forever.
10. @droidbears: flight attendant:Sir, are you raising your hand?
me: How do i access the wifi?
FA: I’m doing safety announcements
me: Is that lowercase...

Are You A Vapist?
mrlongdrag.com
Yaaa! Vaping’s going to save all the smokers! No more lung cancer! Vaping isn’t addictive! You know what? Some of those beliefs are true and some are not, and some are as cloudy as the exhale of an e-cig smoker.If “smoking” an e-cigarette, or rather an e-cig/mod type device is referred to as vaping, then a person who does it must be vapist, right? For all future discussion on the subject, that’s what we’ll call them. What they exhale is less toxic than regular lit on fire cigar...

TBT! It’s a Bieber World After All
(Originaly posted 7/26/14) Wow. That is one pretty girl next to wheelchair-bound Justin Bieber! Turns out it is a Bieber world after all and we’re just living in it. If you just got a panicked feeling and shouted “What? Justin’s in a wheelchair?” then you must be a Belieber. And why wouldn’t you be?
The Biebs again proved how awesome he is by using Disneyland’s policy of allowing those in wheelchairs to go to the front of the line of rides and attractions. He claims he “tweaked” his knee pla...

Top Ten Tuesday! Ten Reasons I Won’t Date Taylor Swift
I won’t. I won’t do it. No matter how much she begs or how many songs she writes, I won’t date Taylor Swift. Here’s why:
10.If Taylor Swift married me and took my name, her name would be Taylor Taylor and that’s just ridiculous. But, if she took my first name as her married surname, her name would be Taylor Phil. I might consider letting her do that. It would be great fun at party introductions. “Hi, I’m Phil Taylor and this is my wife Taylor Phil.”
9.If she and I broke up with each other sh...

Music Monday! Sharknado!
This song, originally written by Friend of The Phil Factor (FOTPF), Robbie Rist, and remixed by Mike Relm, is your reminder that Sharknado 3: Oh Hell No is on this Wednesday night at 9 pm EST on the SyFy network. It’s a movie so bad it’s good, and it’s as American as apple pie!
Unfortunately I won’t be able to watch Sharknado 3 live because I’ll be at the Alternative Press Music Awards in Cleveland where I’ll be Periscoping live.What’s Periscope? It’s an app that let’s you stream live video...

Worshiping at the Church of The World Wide Web
cnn.com
My mother was Irish-Catholic. She went to a Catholic school run by nuns and got her knuckles rapped with a ruler by the Sisters on a regular basis. Every day before classes started there was a full mass. She literally attended church seven days a week. As a kid, until I went away to college she took me to church every weekend.
Fast forward to today. Instead of church every morning, kids go to their phones every morning to see what happened in ‘their world’ overnight. My mother could q...

Throwback Thursday! When I Get That Feeling I Want Textual Healing
This is the post that started all the trouble. After this post last July I started getting visits to my blog from people in India and Pakistan who found me using the term “real sexting conversations to read in Hindi.” It got to the point where 20-30 people a month found #ThePhilFactor using that term. Then I decided to see what would happen if I wrote a post about it. In February I wrote Real Sexting Conversations to Read in Hindi. Since then I get 20-30 visits a day from horny Hindi people....
