Ever watch Dirty Jobs?

There’s an episode Mike spends mostly inside a dairy, and one of the things he does is run a carousel milker.
In order to keep dirt and shit from sticking to a cow’s udders, the big dairy farms use a blowtorch to very quickly burn all the hair off a cow’s udders.

That got me to thinking.

usually, that’s a bad idea.

This time, I had no idea how bad until I actually tried it.

Manscaping with a Bic is the blue fairy godmother of all bad ideas.

It’s not even the way the hair burns down and seems to want to flame out right at the hair follicle, nor the sharp and unexpected pain it causes, but those things in combination with the smell of burning nut hair, combine to make this something you should just Not Do.

The Mediocratization of America

I’m sure, if you have a half of a brain, you’re freaked out by the bullshit going down all over the place, and the utter lack of action on the part of President Pixiedust.

You may be pissed about all of this, but you might just be about to get more pissed.

See, we’ve been, as a nation, Exceptional. We’ve done some dumb shit, but even the dumb shit has, in is own way, been exceptional.

And President pixiedust hates that.

The way he’s treated our friends, the way he’s treated our enemies, the way he’s handled domestic affairs and foreign ones, is not because he is incompetent, for he is not. It is not because he’s inept-he may well be, but his handlers are not.

No, this is all because he, and his handlers, want to show the rest of the planet that we can be mediocre too. “We’re bad friends! We’re stupid enemies! We fuck up the environment! We really are just like you!

Pascal has a piece in which he talks about having our nose rubbed in our mediocrity. You should read it. he almost nevber crapblogs so it’s probably safe over there.

OK, you can get it here.

Couldn’t use the tools they had there too well. Hope the slightly modified design works for any of you who want it.
