Ma Lady Rides Again


Last Saturday was the last day of the season for our little ski hill. The lawnchair race is the highlight of day. Luckily Paul & Morgan documented the event, so I can share the shenanigans.

Autistic Purdue fan has perfect bracket

And it's completely unverifiable, but it's a story anyway.

Tournament Shiz

Not to step on Jonah's toes, but I might lose The Internets for a day and was afraid I wouldn't get my bracket in. And so, I recreated the usual ESPN group:

Pee Shivers

We currently have some friends visiting and one of them, and their daughter both experience "pee shivers". Having never heard of this we looked it up and there are claims that it is fairly common. Anyone else experience "pee shivers"?

A rabbit hole from HT comments

Baker's Junction

YO! I am Johnny F Baker a 100% disabled veteran I have been working to save &
sat up a Railroad Museum at Smithville Indiana since 1976. I have survived bone
cancer & over 30 operations! I lost my hip & leg bone & a few other parts, I have
had my right foot tore off & reattached. I have a wife & 3 girls & We have
survived a illegal 3 year Bloomington IU commie planing & zoning attack but it
wiped us out & forced me & my family in to bank
ruptcy.
I am crippled up a can barely walk but I keep working as much as I can & that’
s how I cut my finger
off.
I was using a saw over my head but I only have one good leg & it has a bad
knee & it gave out & I fell down & the saw jumped out & cut my finger
off.
I dumped out a coke & put my finger in the glass of ice & my friend James
drove me to the VA hospital 60 miles a way but the saw mangled my finger up to
bad to be put back on so I put it back into pocket & brought it
home.
I had my finger mummified & made in to a key chain on a stainless steal chain
set in clear
plastic.
I am selling it to pay for a new metal roof for the two train stations at Bakers
Junction Railroad Museum at Smithville Indiana & they need a new roof
badly.
We would not need any help if we had not lost over $100,000.00 fighting off
the Bloomington IU commie planing $ zoning pinheads and I still owe $70,000.00
at a high intrust & since I can not get a good loan at a fear intrust rate, I will be
paying for defending my legal right to live & work on my own land for the rest of
my
life.
My mummified finger key chain will be on display at the Haunted Train a fund
raiser for Bakers Junction Railroad Museum if you want to bid on the Key Chain
or make a donation to the Railroad Museum you can send it to us by mail - E-Mail
or Pay Pal. & take a look at our other things for sale too

The New Hipster RPG

Though some of y'all probably already saw this on FB or wherever, I thought I'd post it anyway - I wrote a funny post on my new gaming blog about a made-up hipster-centric RPG called "Mass Affect." 

It was pretty good times, so I sent it to some bloggers I know. A couple of steps up the email/twitter chain later, it was on BoingBoing, and then, in a turn of events that I'm still having trouble believing, it wound up getting syndicated on Gawker's gaming blog Kotaku, which is pretty much the biggest gaming blog in... like... the world.

Uh. WOAH.

It's still at the top of the site the site today (it's at 22,000 hits and counting), and, well, yeah, check it out!

The comments section is absolutely nuts, too, and way worth reading.
