A man in Canada has only used radio controlled toys to “excavate” his basement for the past seven years.
Read the story here.
You’ll discover that the crazy dude lives in a crudhole called Saskatchewan, where presumably, there’s nothing better to do.
The basement toys.
Those evil Commie bastards in North Korea constantly slam America, yet like every other country in the world, they secretly wish they were Americans.
What passes for a hamburger in North Korea.
Here’s a blog post on North Korean hamburgers.
The next time you drive by a McDonald’s, a Wendy’s, or a Checkers, salute and be thankful you live in the land of the free.
This is a SIF.
The SIF is quite adept at hiding his or her fat on the Internet. Usually a LiveJournal or MySpace user, they use Photoshop, high-constrast photos, and strategic camera angles to appear thinner.

Here’s a site that’s one page long and only has photographs of–wait, I’ll let you click through here.
Need I explain? It’s fat children–running without shirts.
Enjoy!
From YouTube comes this video of a Chinese father forcing his four-year-old son to run in the snow, so as to “toughen him up.” The kid is being cheered-on by his mother, who can be heard in the background.
They should’ve gotten a Siberian Husky…
I’m happy that I don’t live in New Yorkistan any longer, and this story is one of my reasons:
Return this Jedi’s lightsaber!
The force is no longer with him.
Jedi Master Flynn Michael is searching the galaxy far and wide for his stolen lightsaber — and you, Brooklyn Paper readers, may be his only hope.
“Who steals somebody’s lightsaber? It’s like stealing someone’s toy out of the sandbox,” said Michael, the founder of New York Jedi, a stage combat performance group. “I finally got my uber custom saber, and then some jerk walks out with it.
The swordless Jedi.“I guess that’s the joke — some Jedi I turned out to be,” he said.
On Sept. 22, Brooklyn’s own Obi-Wan met some padawans at Project Parlor and set his saber beneath the bar. A few hours later, at about 2:13 am, a bearded dark lord grabbed it and fled, according to Michael.
Then, in December, Michael stood face-to-face with the dark side when the suspected Sith returned to the bar.
But, alas, the scruffy-looking nerf-herder denied taking the blade.
Fellow Jedi were stunned by the gravity of the crime.
“Who the f–k steals a lightsaber?” said Tyler Welsek. “And from the bar Flynn goes to all the time? He’s known there.”
In “Star Wars” lore, a Jedi builds his own laser sword so it is as unique as its owner. Michael crafted his brand for the character of a Tibetan Jedi, using an orange laser and a hilt with drawings of two Tibetan foo dogs and a lotus.
“It was perfect,” he said. “It really reflected my performance style.”
Michael — a self-proclaimed “Star Wars” dork — founded New York Jedi seven years ago with a few fellow saber-masters. There’s no formal Jedi training school, but most members have backgrounds in acting, Kung-Fu, Jiu-Jitsu and ballet.
Every Thursday night, a different Jedi Master leads a class at DANY Studios on 38th Street and Eighth Avenue in Manhattan, but the classes focus on stage combat rather than self-defense — so don’t expect Michael to use (physical) force.
Instead, Michael hopes the thief will decide to return the lightsaber, but until he does the Jedi will be “Hands Solo,” borrowing sabers from pals and using a cobbled-together blade that doesn’t even light up.
“I’m waiting on his conscience to get to him,” said the Jedi Master, who is offering a $100 reward for the lightsaber. “We’re teaching people how to be heroes, and I need it back.”
This is not my FF...just a generic photo.
U can play into someone else’s game, but in the end, u may lose your own integrity… stand your ground, yet be understanding that others may be suffering, and stay on higher ground… that’s what I call “A WIN/WIN”.. xoxoxox
I would only ever wish to be with someone who would stand by his mother… even if at first, it was against me… in the end, I would want my son to stand by me… the only difference is, I do not wish to stand in his way of true love and happiness.. we may not see eye to eye… but I will respect that I raised him to be a strong, independent man, who trusts his own instincts, at the core… without me fogging up his lenses… I think one day I will give birth to a beautiful son.. I just have this feeling. Wild!
I learned something today…. there are always 3 sides to a story… and the story does not even matter….. The question is… How do you want someone to feel while in your presence and after they have left? Let’s take this opportunity to just care, share, and love… sometimes we may experience bad days or tough times and it is important to have the ones we care about to feel close to us and vice versa…
shpealkehs! UGH… without my five hour walks in NYC, life just doesn’t feel the same… ( no matter how much yoga and swimming I do..) lol..
I believe that there is a fine line between respecting someone’s wishes and fighting for what you know is right in your heart…. the only way to ever really know is by trying out all the possible scenarios…. afterall, you never know until you know…
Life and the people in it.. (your life) can often be so much more than you believe them to be…. open your mind and you may see others in a broader light too….. “Limitless Possibilities” is the concept of the day!
Every man is waiting for that special woman to “put him in his place”….( perhaps not “outwardly”….. but deep inside…. where it all starts and where it all counts…. ! strong on the outside, soft on the inside.. perfect combination.. perfect mirror image…. just gotta break through the shell or wait for it to open on its own…. (the former is probably a better option… if i said that correctly: lol
Sometimes we have the prize, and then we drop the ball…..
I am like water… I can live in any situation.. My birth sign is Cancer. I have a warm heart. I am a mush. Do not mess with me though, bc I can use my heart and mind to turn yours into stone… Play nicely and I can support you in conquering the world…. as long as you are operating from a place of peace and kindness, I hope to share what you have created in a loving way, I will be there by your side and help show you a brighter day:)
For the love of money and the POWER of LOVE!… We can have it ALL!
Go find what makes U happy, bc u have a good heart!
My friend is selling some furniture very inexpensively…. if anyone is interested….lmk
When I finally get my MIND, BODY, SOUL, and SPIRIT to work in unison…… I will be__________?
Synagogue was intense tonight… as well as entertaining… I am so sorry for the loss of Rabbi Agler’s daughter… I am sure she was a lovely person who brought joy to many…. In her honor, Cantor Shore, Rabbi Bloch, and Rabbi Silvers ,along with their talented crew, put on a good show as a tribute to Talia…. Blessings to all tonight… LOVE the PEOPLE U LOVE MORE…. Shower them with it and stop wasting time… Life is simply too precious to waste hating and ignoring the ones who care for you and for whom you care for deeply…
There are many things you can buy in this world…. Real Love definitely is NOT one of them…. Have a blessed Friday Evening and Good Shabbos to those who observe… Let the weekend begin for ALL OF US…. Jewish, Catholic, Purple, and /or otherwise:) xo….
I am starting to see that it is time for me to keep my natural state of “happiness” to myself… this does not mean that i do not have moments of sadness, anger, or frustration… it just means I do not blame others for my moods…
OMG, it’s time to GROW up, for the BIG SHOW, now…. oh boy…. who grows down so they can regrow up anyway? oh wait… Only me!!! lol
Met with a friend today who told me that people were challenging him and reporting him for things that he did not do…. Just remember this….. Those who are jealous and ignorant will MOSTLY look to blame, shame, and guilt others for their own shortcomings….or misunderstandings…. They may even “HATE ON”… those they do not understand….including their family members and supposed friends… …
I am so proud of some of ” The Biggest Dudes in the WORLD ” …I see u guys….. Now u see yourselves…. clearly…… Nice work gentlemen… Nice work… it will pay off big time……
We reside in the place where we stand….. and we love others only as much as we can successfully and completely LOVe OURSELVES:) SO LOVE YOURSELF COMPLETELY and then you can do the same for me:) and that CREATES THE HAPPY! (for Tam V…..) can’t tag her or she’ll kick my tushie…)hehe
We stand tall, we stand proud… and a brand new “banging” place is about to open up where just an open space used to exist.. Creation is the root of greatness,,,,, to ME!
Now let’s close our eyes and jump!…. Trust that we are both protected by a higher power, and all will be beyond magnificent.. The best life ever will unfold and together we will create a few images of perfection…. or darn close…:) hehe…
Suddenly I am beginning to understand my gf Robin so much more… We are from Philly, but we prefer the “diversity” of NYC so much more…. There is not 1 type of cool in NYC, whereas in Philly, people seem far more similar… no comparison , I guess… New Year’s Resolution take one…..Each and every experience is just its own…. Y compare anything to anything else? Really, once we compare, we have a tendency to diminish either ones’ value… y not just let them be who they are?
Thank goodness I finally just came to terms with the fact that i am FREAKIN awesome and exceptional and different from most of the people out there.. I am beyond ok with ME now and I am just learning when to hold em, when to fold em, when to walk away, and when to run… now….took a while…. but well worth the time invested into myself to try on different kinds of lifestyles, personalities, friendships, and hairstyles:) What next for the great and powerful [me]?…. Stay tuned and see…
Investing in rough diamonds can be tricky… As long as you employ the proper team members and craftsmen, anything is possible… You can take a material that looks really rough to the outside world, and shape, mold, and cut it carefully into a D, VSI… or better… One never knows, but a skilled and crafty speculator KNOWS..It’s in the TELLs…… There are the standard kinds and the ELITE….. Find your gem and carry a polishing device with you at all times…. Be prepared to spend some time and patience… this creation takes some time… but I betcha that it’ll pay off in SPADES:) xo…
Ladies…. Men are asking for US to set our boundaries and to ALLOW them to ABIDE by them!!! Let us get to ACTION!!!!! They are asking and we must show up for them!!!
xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxxoxo… as tough and gifted as I appear and am, I still had a LOT of underlying FEARS from childhood that I have been clearing over this past year….. wow.. it feels great to allow myself to be freed from the old stuff that does not serve me or my dreams for my life!
I love the flow and joy and ease….. but too easy…. is that much fun? Palease….
Bc you asked for nothing, I wanted to give to U “the world”….BC you asked for no thing, most around you felt somewhat fooled……Bc you asked for no thing, the only thing anyone could see, was a person “full” (filled) with everything, the only thing that was missing IS ob-vi-ous-ly, ME….Bc you deserve everything, asking for what you need is not a lie. It most certainly could make you seem to …
Perhaps the most important aspect in maintaining one’s weight is to limit portion control. After all, it makes sense: limit the amount of food on your plate and you’ll eat less.
However, RickNews readers usually like to go “one better” in all areas of life, so I suggest limiting your limited portions by cutting your food into “hors d’oeuvres size.” For example, instead of eating two pizza slices and a soft drink for lunch, have one slice and cut it up into bite-size morsels.
I like to take the experience up a notch so I bring my own toothpicks with me wherever I go. Try it—your one lonely slice of the Neopolitan delicacy suddenly is transformed into about 30 toothpick-topped hors d’oeuvres!
Not only is this easier on your waistline, but you can pretend that you’re at a cocktail party, three times a day. Who wouldn’t want to make each meal a healthier and more festive occasion?
Here’s a tip for the gentlemen out there: No more pocket change!
Remember, those clinking, clacking coins are bad for your trouser pockets and lead to premature aging of your jodhpurs. Besides, there’s nothing more annoying than a man playing with his coins: bystanders are left to “using their imagination” with regard to what’s really going on when metal hits metal near a man’s thigh.
They need your change!
My advice is to jettison the change into the hands of a needy bum or hobo. They need it more than any RickNews reader does and you can stuff your pockets with things that were meant to nestle next to your schlong: an iPhone, keys, Toblerone…
