"Davis survived a horrific chimpanzee attack at a California wildlife rescue center in March 2005 - but not before his nose and mouth were ripped off, an eye was gouged out, his left foot was mangled and most of his fingers and buttocks were devoured."

I believe the chimps also ate his junk, but the author appears to have neglected that detail. OTOH (heh), you're probably not going to get much action with no face, hands, or ass, so it might not really matter whether your junk is intact.

The moral of this story: never take a birthday cake to a chimpanzee sanctuary.
You are perhaps the only person in the civilized world who would remember that story. Impressive memory for weird shit, but still impressive.

How do you forget that story once heard?

JFC. Talk about "just kill me and be done with it".

I wish I could selectively delete stuff, but it doesn’t work that way.

I am forever stuck with the ability to remember awful things like the intro song for “Family Ties.”

Sha la la la.





This morning, I woke up at 2:22 AM - because I wake up nearly every morning at 2:22 AM - with “Mechanical Boy” from H.R. Pufnstuf on endless mental repeat. I saw that show maybe 3 times during the 80’s…. fml.



Understeer: You will hit the wall with the front end.
Oversteer: You will hit the wall with the rear end.
Horsepower: How hard you will hit the wall.
Torque: How far you will move the wall.

Gone hunting with Alec Baldwin and Dick Cheney. Back soon.

JEEBUS! They make prescription medications that will make all of that go away. As a last resort there is always a full frontal lobotomy...

This is because the world is a simulation. I think you're supposed to do something to break the cycle man. Like answer the phone.

I know the Porsche "purist" would flip the F out, but you are right except for the lack of noise you wouldn't even know.
