For me, ##### Off Dance Off is good news for the future, other than the lady I saw was too skinny for my taste.

jodi sweetin was the host of that show for a hot minute.

That completely distracted me from watching football for 5min.

I was unable to link to the Canadian version, which was far less entertaining, and more... uncoordinated, arrogant people dancing. Admittedly the American version is less a sign of end times.

Those are so weird they are cool. If I could wear one more than once or twice a decade I would buy one.
Wait! I am planning that trip up to Minnesota in Feb. Maybe I need it for then? Nah, I it would be a crime to cover this beautiful face.

I can't imagine you'd ever need one with that magnificent 'stache.

You could totally make holes for the Stache. That would increase the WTF factor dramatically.
That one on the right was a little Klanny for my tastes.

wikiHow: Host a Dog Wedding. (http://www.wikihow.com/Host-a-Dog-Wedding)
Decide on the formality of the occasion. Is it serious, or just a casual affair to have fun at?
No matter how "serious" you consider the occasion to be, the dogs probably don't feel the same way about it.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UP73cK3GXdo - Asst. Tres Sec Kashkari didn't know or care how or where the $700,000,000,000 TARP funds went. We still don't know to this day. Theres hundreds of criminal trials going on to figure it out.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d1PEdYYv0ig - Theres no exit strategy.
Financial Armageddon and the resulting overnight government expenditure of nearly a trillion dollars - and the unaccountability for where that money went. That is a sign of the end times to me. To live in a time where that kind of shenanigans goes down - that kind of society isn't constructing a solid base for the future. And here we are.

I totally believe you, but what do we do? Do I keep writing a book that's not supposed to come out till next fall and believe that there will still be publishing companies and bookstores in a year, or do I start hoarding canned goods? I really do wonder sometimes.

Yes ma'am this is a daily discussion I have within my own investment group and the people I work for. The fundamentals are in place for now, but the way at which we've arrived at those fundamentals is questionable. How does one have long term growth if you borrow trillions of dollars from the future????
[edit: I can make a metric shit ton of money either way]
-
I had a moment of jealousy there but then I thought, is the metric shit ton of money going to do you any good when we're wandering the post-apocalyptic landscape scavenging for hoards of canned goods and a can opener? Thank goodness so many cans are made with pop-tops now, at least.
-
The metric shit ton of money will pay for the guns and ammo.
Really though, it could be used to fund the programs that ultimately arrive at a stable system.

A musical about Green Day was on the Macy's Day Parade. If that ain't a sign of the end times, I dunno what is.
Oh, wait, I do know.
Sarah Palin's reality show.

Unfortunately canned goods expire.

Unfortunately many of the people who are capable of making metric shit tons of money choose to use it to purchase a political system that will allow them to avoid funding those programs and instead spend an ever increasing proportion of our economic resources on hookers 'n' blow.

I'm not saying this is necessarily a bad thing, but something about this product disturbs me on a deep level: http://www.batterblaster.com/ (http://www.batterblaster.com/) I'm compelled and repelled at the same time. This product is sold in the health food sections of my grocery store, yet something about them seems so un-health-food- ike that it's hard for me to get my head around. Michael Polan's theory that one should only eat food that our great-grandmothers and great-great grandmother would recognize as food comes to mind. It's a fascinating juxtaposition really.

You mean you're going to share? I never thought you had it in you.

Nah, not really.
Question: I have some canned tuna in my pantry. The “best by” date was several months ago. Is it still safe to eat?
Answer: Yes, the tuna should be fine — provided you’ve been storing it properly and the unopened can isn’t damaged.
As the U.S. Department of Agriculture points out, “Best By,” “Best if Used By,” and “Use By” dates on commercially packaged foods sold in the United States are not food safety dates. Provided voluntarily by manufacturers, they are an indication of how long products are likely to remain at peak quality.
After the “best by” date has passed, the canned tuna’s texture, color and flavor will gradually deteriorate. So from a sheer quality standpoint, the sooner you eat the tuna, the better.
But from a safety perspective, you can consume it well beyond the “best by” date — in fact, unopened shelf-stable commercially canned foods will keep safe indefinitely (assuming they remain properly stored and undamaged), according to the USDA.
Just be sure to store your tuna and other shelf-stable canned goods in a cool, dry area and check to see that unopened cans are not leaking, rusting, bulging or severely dented. You should always throw out damaged cans, without tasting the food first.

But if you don't want yours after the apocalypse, I'll take it.

Investing in programs and innovations that result in a stable economic system benefits us all, myself among them. I'm not talking about being philanthropic, I'm talking about avoiding financial annihilation of everyone's capital base. In other words, I can't take money from people that don't have any to take.

Aww, that's sweet.

Horrible sign of end times: bunny crushing (http://beta.ca.news.yahoo.com/bunny-crushing-videos-stir-chinese-online-anger.html). People really run out of things to get off on to the point where this is a thing? Really?

You know there is/was this rapist in the N. Virginia area who would find women at bus stops on their way to work and knock them over the head with a brick. When I looked into this I realized the shithead was getting up at like 4AM to pull this off.
THESE THINGS DON'T HAPPEN WHEN PEOPLE HAVE SHIT TO DO. There is no way some working man is getting up at 4AM to commit a crime and then go home, get showered and dressed, and then go to work. Crushing a bunny, dressing up in furry costumes, raping women at bus stops, can all be avoided if people have better stuff to do.

A-Cap is right. Now he just needs to figure out how to repair the entire economy so we can solve this problem.

Nah, not really.

By which I meant that they all eventually get bulgy and fucked up. Yeah, if they aren't bulging, it doesn't matter if they are past the expiration date. However, canning is not a foolproof preservation system.

"I whip my hair back and fourth" was used for 111 seconds of this song. Which is 47% of the song....
Migmob27 does the math.

I won't deny that parts of that song are annoying as fuck, and of course auto-tune just pisses me off. However, the worst thing about that song to me is the certain knowledge that the young woman in the video had virtually nothing to do with producing that song, from start to finish.
This is why they call it a "pop confection." It's the sort of thing created by men with saggy parts who know how to make a dime, and have shriveled souls that contain no concern for artistic pursuit.

What is it about that interface that the ads play just fine and as soon as the content starts it's all fucked up with the buffering and the re-starting and the bloo bloo bloo?
