I first heard this about 15 years ago, and it’s still so funny.

Completely and utterly tasteless, but it worked.

Mnemonic Device for Memorizing the U.S. Presidents

I first came up with one several years ago, but only from Martin Van Buren to Ulysses S. Grant (since that’s who we were studying in American History class at the time). Once we got past that unit, my grade was so good I could just coast for the remainder of the class (which I did).

Recently, I stumbled across a “name all the presidents” quiz at Mental Floss, and I was embarrassed that I kept missing 5-6 presidents. So, I made a mnemonic for the whole batch.

Here’s the quiz: http://mentalfloss.com/node/13224/take

A. Will anyone just make muffins and jam?
1. George Washington

The money is in the first 30 seconds. Keep watching if you really feel like it, but it’s a lot of talking, not much action.

Consolidated – “Butyric Acid”

I’m posting this music video because it’s really catchy, and you can dance to it. It’s a political song that I don’t ‘entirely’ agree with, but I love political/protest songs in any variety, especially when I don’t agree with it on one or all points. Being challenged in my beliefs is good medicine. Unlike your love. Which is bad medicine. So sayeth Jon Bon Jovi.

As an aside, if I still played D&D (which I don’t, but wouldn’t mind picking up someday, if my attention span holds out), I would get “Satan is My Dungeon Master” tattood on me somewhere, because that’s uber kewl.

Two Sides of the Gun Rights Issue

I’m posting both of these because I chuckled at both. I don’t know entirely how I feel about this. I believe that there plenty of gun laws already on the books that aren’t being properly enforced, and that adding more laws won’t necessary stem the trend of illegal gun violence. However, I also think it’s silly for a typical Joe Schmo on the street to own an AK-47 for home defense. I can understand having recreational guns, because (speaking from experience) firing an AR-15 is really awesome. I mean, I’m a terrible shot, especially in an enclosed firing range where the natural dust and debre that results from weapons being fired messes with my sensitive eyes, and I can barely hit the broadside of a barn. But I love shooting guns. However, I don’t know how I feel about having guns for home defense. More often than not, those guns seem to end up shooting an innocent bystander instead of a home invader. Tied in with the fact that I am a HORRIBLE shot (I barely passed the minimum requirements to get into the US Air Force…but I got a low-score of 98% on the 4 ASFAB written tests, however), I just don’t know for sure what the correct answer is, for me. And I REALLY don’t know what the correct answer is for You. Like I said, I can see clear points on both sides of the issue.

I’m 37 years old. When I was 17, I thought I would have had more of this shit figured out by now.
