477 – The Lizard King: 04

by Kevin Pettway on April 30, 2009

In Ohio a federal court has ruled that you do not have the right to know if the milk you buy was taken from cattle pumped full of synthetic hormones (rBST and rBGH) designed to increase the output of milk and force the cows to lactate year-round. Also known as “crack for cows,” the hormones [...]

Woman Sits on Chair Princess Inca, of Peru, (real name Claudia Pacheco) in Lima Square, sat on a chair for several minutes in front of a crowd of stunned onlookers.

KFC has started a service-oriented ad campaign to fill potholes in cities around the country, in exchange for being allowed to spray their logo on the filled in hole in chalk. While I’ll certainly admit to the comedic value of watching an old white guy dressed like a plantation owner working along the side of [...]

  The BBC reports that the residents of the Layton Burroughs Residents’ Association in Nottinghamshire have installed pink florescent lights in three different locations on the housing development in an effort to discourage teens from congregating. While the pink lights are very pretty and are supposed to have a calming influence, they also make pale skin look lighter, [...]

Our mailman’s name is Doug. He’s a personable, helpful, and knowledgeable sort of guy. I like him. So a few days ago when he told me not to walk across the street if I want to escape injury, I naturally became concerned. He told me that right across the road from where I stood in my doorway, [...]

471 – Hero Soup: 08

by Kevin Pettway on April 22, 2009

Proving once again that the old proverb “booze, power tools, and vaginas don’t mix,” a 27 year old woman from Lexington Maryland was rushed to the hospital last month when her partner placed a dildo over the blade of a saber saw and “used” the tool on her. The couple had failed to foresee the [...]

Young doctors at an Alberta, Canada hospital have been performing a run of incorrectly handled intubations, according to the National Post. (That’s when the one dude can’t breathe for some weird reason, like he’s allergic to the watermelon sauce covering his filet mignon, and this other dude yells, “Get me a bottle of brandy and [...]

Jinzhu, the 11 year old male panda of the Wolong Nature Reserve  in China’s Southwest Sichuan province, gave birth to twin cubs in August of 2007. The two cubs, probably female, have done just fine since their surprise arrival. Li Desheng, an expert on pandas, claimed that the apparent mistake in properly sexing Jinzhu was because pandas [...]

The New Jersey Cosmetology and Hairstyling Board felt that women’s genitals had long enough escaped their inspection, and created a proposition to ban the “Brazilian,” the waxing technique made popular in both Sex in the City, and porn the world over. (For both the guys out there who still don’t know what I’m talking about, it means removing all of a [...]

There is a company called Walker’s Snack Foods that makes a potato chip based on a type of Brunswick stew popular in British restaurants and some more… woodsy… U.S. states that contains the meat of gray squirrels. The chips are known as Cajun Squirrel and apparently are meant to taste like… well… squirrels. (I swear [...]

NASA Murders Bat A free tail bat hanging on to the side of the shuttle Discovery’s external fuel tank was murdered as NASA engineers gave the go-ahead for launch on mission STS-119. It is unclear how long NASA had been waiting for a bat to land on the fuel tank before they sprang their trap. [...]

Lena makes me watch America’s Next Top Model on Girl Day every week. I always try to find some reason to be entertained since the alternative is stuffing firecrackers under my eyelids and destroying my ability to be harmed by the show. Mostly. But ANTM does provide some amusement even for one coming at it [...]

Bonus movie week! This video was sent to me from Carl T, a reader of HOLE and a frequent commenter. All bow before his ingenuity and firepower.

While there was much stewing and outrage towards Obama for gifting British Prime Minister Gordon Brown and his family with such lousy gifts, (even I’ll admit that the Browns way outdid the Obamas with the presents… the Brown kids both got toy helicopters that just happen to sell in the White House gift shop) this most recent [...]

by Kevin Pettway on April 8, 2009

  The British Local Government Association has passed a resolution banning the use of “impenetrable jargon” it feels hides the public sector from the… um… public. Many of the terms they have banned (there’s a list) are both funny and nonsensical, for instance “Coterminous Stakeholder Engagement,” which is used instead of “talk,” and “Predictors of Beaconicity” [...]

by Kevin Pettway on April 7, 2009

Okay, this video isn’t just unsafe for work, it’s downright offensive. That said, it’s also funny as hell. What I like most is that this is more or less what I hear any time there’s a rap song playing. (I freely admit my ignorance of the form and my inability to appreciate what is a [...]

  This is George Bartusek, of Cape Coral, Florida. He brought a couple of friends with him to Publix in early February, (according to him) in order to buy them some clothes in a nearby Target store. George really liked his friends, and unfortunately for him his ardor grew out of control as the trio [...]
