Happy Holidays


Damn contemporary bullshit architecture!


Of course they are fake! I saw her at the snow cone stand yesterday.


I feel like nobody really likes me.
Fruitcake!


But this bastard shot my aunty!


I told you cigars were bad for you.


My feet are just freezing.
Buddy, you think you have problems?


Holiday tip #37
Never catch snowflakes with your tongue until all the birds have gone south for the winter.


Job evaluation day at Santa's office.
Mounted reindeer heads labeled: Slow, Lazy, Bad attitude.


Err...we'll pop back later.




I heard the stockings were hung.


Oh, great! A flat.


Nice one, Harry! How are you going to explain this to the kids?




Dear Santa, If you leave a new bike under the tree, I will give you the antidote to the poison I put in the milk. - Timmy


Would you look at that? They are making a baby right in the frontyard!
It's disgraceful!


It's not worth it, Roy! Let's just give him our noses and let him go.

Dubai - Another World


Dubai: The city with the highest growth rate in the world.


Burj Al Arab: The only 7 Star Hotel in the World. Built in a mere 18 months. Opened its doors in 2003.


A tour of the hotel costs €60


Luxury suites like this cost between €7500 and €15000 a night


Luxury suites like this cost between €7500 and €15000 a night


Luxury suites like this cost between €7500 and €15000 a night


This panoramic suite goes for €8250 a night


Dining at this restaurant will cost extra, of course


Don't forget to go for a swim at one of the numerous pools


Or indulge yourself in a more intimate bath


And then have a drink at one of the numeorus bars


Finish off a meeting at one of the conference rooms


And head to the top for a game of tennis


At the "Indoor Winter Season", you can ski any time of the year while the outside temperature is 85F


The ski slopes from outside. For perspective, compare to the palm trees for size

"The World". A sanctuary in this group of islands clustered to imitate the world map costs a cool $7 millions. To get to your private island, you need to have a helicopter or a boat.


Also under development is Dubailand


Dubailand will be the world's largest theme park.


15% of the tall towers being built in the world are in Dubai. Imagine operating a crane in this environment.


A virtual model of the Burj tower, slated to be be completed in 2008.


Once completed, the Burj tower will be the Tallest in the World.


Finally, take a look at this rotating skyscraper.


250 meters, 59 floors mounted in a concrete core that will serve as a rotating shaft. The floors will be pre-assembled and then attached to the core of the building. Each floor will rotate separate from the others.

The tower will have solar and aeolian electric system generators to be self-sufficient.

The project is Italian and has not begun yet.

It is predicted that its construction will last two and a half years. The projected cost will be around $500 million.

Wardrobe Tips from J.C.Penny 1977 Catalog

Last weekend I put an exhaust fan in the ceiling for my wife's grandfather. While my wife's brother and I were fitting the fan in between the joists, we found something under the insulation. What we found was this:


A JC Penney catalog from 1977. It's not often blog fodder just falls in my lap, but holy hell this was two solid inches of it, right there for the taking.

I thumbed through it quickly and found my next dining room set, which is apparently made by adding upholstery to old barrels:


Also, I am totally getting this for my bathroom:


There's plenty more home furnishings where those came from, however I'm not going to bore you with that. Instead, I'm going to bore you with something else. The clothes.

The clothes are fantastic.

Here's how to get your ass kicked in elementary school:

Just look at that belt. It's like a boob-job for your pants. He probably needed help just to lift it into place. The belt loops have to be three inches long. And way to pull them up to your armpits, grandpa.

Here's how to get your ass kicked in high school:

This kid looks like he's pretending to be David Soul, who is pretending to be a cop who is pretending to be a pimp that everyone knows is really an undercover cop. Who is pretending to be 15.

Here's how to get your ass kicked on the golf course:

This "all purpose jumpsuit" is, according to the description, equally appropriate for playing golf or simply relaxing around the house. Personally, I can't see wearing this unless you happen to be relaxing around your cell in D-block. Even then, the only reason you should put this thing on is because the warden made you, and as a one-piece, it's slightly more effective as a deterrent against ass-rapery.

Here's how to get your ass kicked pretty much anywhere:

If you look at that picture quickly, it looks like Mr. Bob "No-pants" Saget has his hand in the other guy's pocket. In this case, he doesn't, although you can tell just by looking at them that it's happened - or if it hasn't happened it will. Oh yes. It will. As soon as he puts down his matching coffee cup.

Here's how to get your ass kicked at the beach:

He looks like he's reaching for a gun, but you know it's probably just a bottle of suntan lotion in a holster.

How to get your ass kicked in a meeting:

If you wear this suit and don't sell used cars for a living, I believe you can be fined and face serious repercussions, up to and including termination. Or imprisonment, in which case you'd be forced to wear that orange jumpsuit.

How to get your ass kicked on every day up to and including St. Patrick's Day:

Dear god in heaven, I don't believe that color exists in nature. There is NO excuse for wearing either of these ensembles unless you're working as a body guard for the Lucky Charms leprechaun.

In this next one, Your Search For VALUE Ends at Penneys.

As does your search for chest hair.

And this -- Seriously. No words.

Oh wait, it turns out that there are words after all. Those words are What. The. F*** . I'm guessing the snap front gives you quick access to the chest hair. The little tie must be the pull tab.

Also, judging by the sheer amount of matching his/hers outfits, I'm guessing that in 1977 it was considered pretty stylish for couples to dress alike. These couples look happy, don't they?




I am especially fond of this one, which I have entitled "Cowboy Chachi Loves You Best."



And nothing showcases your everlasting love more than the commitment of matching bathing suits. That, and a blonde girl with a look on her face that says "I love the way your junk fights against that fabric."


Then, after the lovin', you can relax in your one-piece matching terry cloth jumpsuits:


I could go on, but I'm tired, and my eyes hurt from this trip back in time. I think it's the colors. That said, I will leave you with these tasteful little numbers:

Man, that's sexy.
