I had to laugh at this report. A Florida man has been arrested after he was accused of stealing a pickup truck and driving to a Space Force base to warn the government about extraterrestrial and mythical creatures. Corey Johnson, 29, was arrested Friday at Patrick Space Force Base by local deputies after he… Continue reading Whackadoodle, much? Florida Man strikes again!

Saturday Snippet: Early artistic tribulations
Former doctor Donald Stewart studied all the way to graduation as an M.D., then fled the medical field to become an artist. He wrote about his journey in an amusing and interesting account titled “Past Medical History“. I’ve chosen an early chapter from the book, wherein the author describes early, faltering attempts at art in… Continue reading Saturday Snippet: Early artistic tribulations
Own goal
This must be embarrassing for the Russian armed forces . . . if not career-ending for some of them. Russia took delivery on a handful of advanced Su-34M fighter bombers late last month, and one has already been shot down over Ukraine. It wasn’t Ukrainian forces who managed to down the twin-seat jet, however…… Continue reading Own goal
An acute failure of the victim selection process
It seems that over the past weekend, a number of Antifa cells/chapters/whatever decided to demonstrate against the Honky Tonk Bar in Salem, OR because they heard it was going to host “an anti-open-borders event”. It seems the Honky Tonk Bar is sometimes patronized by large groups of (equally large) bikers, whose philosophy of life… Continue reading An acute failure of the victim selection process
Doofus Of The Day #1,094
Today’s award goes to the Russian military commander(s) in Ukraine who decided to test anti-air-raid smokescreens defending the bridge over the Kerch Strait to Crimea . . . without, it seems, thinking of possible consequences. The War Zone reports: Russia has deployed a number of countermeasures to the Kerch Strait Bridge connecting Russia and… Continue reading Doofus Of The Day #1,094
This one’s for Alma Boykin
Alma’s a writer and blogger, and also a singer and a perpetrator of puns. I think she’ll get several belly-laughs out of this list of musical terms, which appeared on MeWe yesterday. I can see her choir director doing a facepalm as Alma trots these out at the next rehearsal . . . Peter
Doofus Of The Day #1,093
Today’s award goes to a (very) distracted driver in (where else?) Florida. A Florida driver nearly had his penis bitten off by a woman giving him oral sex after he ‘lost control’ of his car in a head-on collision. Fort Lauderdale Fire Rescue responded to an accident on North Ocean Boulevard and 19th Street… Continue reading Doofus Of The Day #1,093
All right, what’s the backstory here?
I couldn’t help giggling at this tweet yesterday from the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation. I can’t help wondering what happened to prompt that tweet. Can any of our readers in Oklahoma enlighten us? If so, please leave a comment. The possibilities appear endless! Peter
A Doofus follow-up
Last week I posted “Doofus Of The Day #1,092“, about a municipality in Japan that mistakenly transferred a large sum of money to a recipient who – mirabile dictu! – “could not” return it. Well, now we know why he couldn’t. The blunder happened when … 463 low-income households were meant to receive 100,000… Continue reading A Doofus follow-up
Doofus Of The Day #1,092
Today’s award goes to the municipal officials of Abu, a town in Yamaguchi Prefecture in Japan. A tip o’ the hat to Francis Turner, who posted the link on MeWe. Last month, the town … sent 100,000 yen [about US $768] each to 463 low-income households affected by the pandemic. But in the process,… Continue reading Doofus Of The Day #1,092
