Benny loves taking a bath, see?

I Love NY!

Posted in General Interest on December 4, 2012 by RickNews

That paradigm of integrity, the New York Post newspaper, is in hot water again–and this time the seas are deadly.  Make that subways.

Seems the Post published a photo on its cover, of a man about to be killed by a moving train. Check out the story here.

Tasteless? No. In Madhattanstan, they’re all “rats in a cage…suicide a go-go.”

Posted in General Interest on November 18, 2012 by RickNews

Forget using this stylish wristwatch case for timepieces. I’m keeping my Hostess Twinkies in it, instead! They’re like gold these days.

Here’s how I carry those golden cakes worth their weight in gold.

Gen. Petraeus Cheated On THIS?!

Posted in General Interest on November 15, 2012 by RickNews

Former Central Intelligence Agency Director Gen. David Petraeus cheated on this hottie?! Guess that goes to show that not all soldiers in uniform are “heroes.”

This sex kitten was two-timed by her General hubby?!

This Dummy Bought A Fake iPad…That Was Really Just A Mirror

Posted in General Interest on November 14, 2012 by RickNews

A woman from Texas, named Jalonta (of course), bought an iPad from a stranger at a gas station for just $200. Instead of an $800 techno-marvel, her purchase turned out to be a…glass mirror with an Apple logo on it.

Here’s a tip for ol’ Jalonta: if you want an iPad, click here.

A Homoerotic Superman Comic Book Cover In Honor of Veteran’s Day

Posted in General Interest on November 8, 2012 by RickNews

From the days of World War 2 comes an extremely buff “Man of Steel” astride a glistening red, um, rocket.

That’s Ol’ Superman for ya: dropping loads on the “Japanazis” while holding on to the front of his, um, rocket.

 

Clark Kent shouldn’t have used a phone booth–he should’ve employed a closet for privacy.

Mango, the Welsh Corgi in this video, is cuter than your child.

Big-Screen TV in 1978 Meant “Monstrosity”

Posted in General Interest on October 26, 2012 by RickNews

Believe it or not, the thing depicted in the image below is a television/videocassette recorder combination. I’ll let that sink in as you contemplate how much this monstrosity must have weighed…

Yet, in 1978, we didn’t have two-inch thick flat-panel displays or solid-state RAM to record our favorite shows. Instead, we relied on the good ol’ cathode ray tube–and that’s what this thing was at its core. The General Electric Widescreen 1000 employed a CRT monitor that was laid on its back and then had its magnified image projected onto a larger screen.

I’m guessing the image quality is similar to smearing Vasoline on one of today’s HD televisions, yet the most impressive thing about this monster is its “solid veneered wood” cabinet. At least that can be used for stoking a fire…

Rich Dad Files For Bankruptcy

Posted in General Interest on October 22, 2012 by RickNews

Many of us believe that we can learn financial “secrets” from psuedo-self-help books. One such book, Rich Dad, Poor Dad, became a sensation in the late-1990s and made its author, Robert Kiyosaki, an instant “expert” in wealth building/management.

For richer or poorer.

 

Now comes word that Bobby K.’s company  had to file for bankruptcy. That’s one “success” story that should be filed under “fiction.”
