The World’s Most Dangerous Animal?
I recently saw the following statement in a meme:
The Most Dangerous Animal in the World…
Is a Smiling Woman Sitting in Silence.
Wrong!
It’s this freaking thing:
“Come in the water, it’s nice.”

Amanda the Lizard: Another Fable
Fable
It was a pleasant summer day and Ned the tree frog was hopping across the forest floor on his way to the creek.
What a perfect day to spend at the creek, he thought to himself, but I hope there’s no lizards at the creek; I don’t care for lizards.
He happened upon Tobias the toad.
“How are things today,” Ned the tree frog asked of Tobias the toad.
“Things are well on this pleasant summer day,” Tobias the toad replied. “I’m on my to creek for this is a perfect day to spend at the creek.”
“That is just what I was thinking,” Ned the tree frog agreed.
“I just hope there’s no lizards there,” Tobias the toad added, “I don’t care for lizards.”
“You and I think so much alike,” Ned the tree frog exclaimed.
“It’s probably because we’re both amphibians,” Tobias the toad said.
And so they hopped together toward the creek.
As they reached the creek, they were horrified to find Amanda the lizard, basking in the sun in the disgusting way that lizards do.
“Please don’t eat us,” Tobias the toad said to Amanda the lizard.
“Why would I do that,” Amanda the lizard responded quizzically.
“Lizards eat amphibians–that’s what lizards do,” Tobias the toad responded matter-of-factly.
“Don’t worry about that,” Amanda the Lizard told them, “I’ve had a change of lifestyle; I now self-identify as an amphibian…and besides, toads are disgusting.”
“What’s that supposed to mean,” Tobias the toad replied indignantly.
“Your skin is all leathery and covered with warts: it’s disgusting.”
“That’s a hurtful thing to say,” Tobias the toad said feeling very triggered.
“And you’re really sour–it’s quite off-putting.”
“It’s a defense mechanism,” Tobias the toad told her.
“Well, it works because I threw-up in my mouth a little bit just thinking about eating you,” Amanda the lizard continued.
“Okay we get it!” Tobias the toad yelled.
“Tree frogs on the other hand are tasty little morsels, but don’t worry I won’t eat you.” she assured Ned the tree frog.
Ned the tree frog, Tobias the toad tried to settle down to enjoy a pleasant summer day at the creek, but it was difficult.
Ned the tree frog was feeling uneasy about potentially being eaten and Tobias the toad was feeling insecure about his warty toad skin.
After a bit of time, Ron the tree frog came down from one of the trees. Ron the tree frog was widely known about the forest as a major ass-hat.
“Well, if it isn’t Ned the “supposed” tree frog,” Ron the tree frog said snidely.
“There’s nothing wrong with hanging out with toads,” Ned the tree frog said, “they’re amphibians too.”
“Yeah, there’s nothing wrong with it, if you want to get covered in warts and that weird toad smell.”
“It’s a defense mechanism!” Tobias the toad yelled.
“More like an offense mechanism because the smell is offensive,” Ron the tree frog said as he laughed.
“Why don’t you just leave us alone?” Ned the tree frog said dejectedly.
“Because I hate you,” Ron the tree frog said. “And another thing…”
With a lightning quick flick of her tongue and a few muted chomping sounds, Ron the tree frog had disappeared down Amanda the lizard’s throat.
“Holy crap!” Tobias the toad exclaimed to Amanda the lizard, “you just ate Ron the tree frog!”
“He was being an ass-hat,” Amanda the lizard said in defense.
So, the three of them settled down and enjoyed the rest of that pleasant summer day in peace, only interrupted once by Amanda the lizard regurgitating Ron the tree frogs undigested bones.
Moral
If you’re a tasty little morsel–don’t be an ass-hat.
“Don’t be an ass-hat.”
Ned the Tree Frog: A Fable
The Fable
Ned was a tree frog who lived in a bush.
All the other tree frogs lived in big trees in the forest, but Ned had a fear of heights.
One day Ned was hopping around the forest floor when he bumped into Patty the tree frog and her boyfriend, Dirk the tree frog.
Ned had long fancied Patty the tree frog; she had big bulbous orange eyes and her skin was especially slimy and green.
“We’re having a party up in our tree tonight,” Patty told Ned, “why don’t you come?”
“He won’t come to a party in the tree,” Dirk said snidely, “Ned doesn’t like to be in the trees and our tree is the tallest tree in the forest.”
“It’s called acrophobia,” Ned defended himself, “and it’s an officially recognized fear by American Psychiatric Association, Dirk.”
“You really need to grow a pair,” Patty told Ned.
“I’m a tree frog,” Ned told Patty, “that means my genitalia consists of two interior testicles and spermatic canal. I have a pair; you just can’t see them because they’re inside my body.”
“We all have a spermatic canal, Ned,” Dirk snarked.
You’re a spermatic canal, Ned thought but could bring himself to say.
“Ned would rather stay down here on the ground like a common toad.,” Dirk told Patty in the snide way a tree frog who was a spermatic canal might.
“Some of my best friends are toads,” Ned told them.
At that Dirk and Patty laughed at Ned and hopped away to have their party.
Suddenly Ned felt very sad and very alone.
That night Ned sat in his bush with some of his toad friends and listened to the laughter and frivolity happening in the tree above.
Then one of Ned’s toad friends suggested they some gasoline and burn that tree to the ground.
And that’s what they did.
The other tree frogs never made fun of Ned again.
Moral
Don’t be a spermatic canal or your tree might get burned to the ground.
Also, don’t mess with toads.
What happens when you’re a spermatic canal.
Village Faces Lawsuit Following Unfortunate Tumble
Artist rendition of the incident.
North East, Pa.–The township of North East, Pennsylvania is facing a slip and fall lawsuit following an accident that occurred on township property. It seems a local resident known as Jack suffered a head injury after falling down a hill.
“The village does an absolutely dreadful job of maintaining the path on that hill,” his sister Jill said disgustedly. “We had simply gone up the hill to fetch a pail of water when Jack lost his footing on some loose gravel and tumbled down. I tried to grab him, but then I went tumbling after.”
“You have to be careful when you’re on a hill,” an unsympathetic town official stated. “Besides, that kid is a walking disaster; just last year Jack set himself on fire trying to jump over a candlestick. He thinks he’s nimble. He thinks he’s quick. But he is decidedly neither.”
“He did set himself on fire once,” Jill admitted, “I had to go up the hill by myself to fetch a pail of water just to put him out…what kind of idiot puts a well on a hill anyway?”
“I fell and broke my crown,” was Jack’s only response before adding, “I could see my own brains.”

Frog Upset by Unwelcome Kiss
Princess and alleged frog groper.
Trouble is brewing in the Kingdom as allegations of unwanted advances have been leveled against the princess by a local frog.
“I was sitting here in the swamp next to husband when out of nowhere this giant blond tart grabs him and practically sticks her tongue down his throat,” the lady frog complained. “It was repulsive. And to make matters worse, after she gets done groping my husband, he turns into a prince. He used to be green, slimy, and lovely. Now he’s just huge, pink, and disgusting.”
“When the Wicked Witch turned me into a frog, it was the best thing that could have happened to me,” the Prince said, “People think being a prince is all wine and roses. Well, there are a lot of wine and roses, but there’s also a lot of headaches: the threat of assassination, diplomacy with other kingdoms is a nightmare, moat maintenance is a constant struggle, and there’s always the worry that at some point the peasants will realize how oppressed they are and revolt–when you’re a frog you don’t have to worry about angry mobs with pitchforks.” The Prince then leaned in and said in a hushed voice, “And that Princess is no picnic either.”
“Do you know how many frogs I had to kiss before I found the right one?” The Princess said in disgust. “Do you see this ugly sore on my upper lip, I’m pretty sure it’s some kind of frog herpes.”
“Look at this worthless ineffectual tongue,” the Prince continued, “how am I supposed to catch flies with this thing? What I wouldn’t give for one blood filled mosquito right now.”
“Excuse me while I go vomit,” the Princess said as she left in disgust.
When contacted to see if she could turn the Prince back into a frog, the Wicked Witch replied, “I’m not freaking Oprah–I don’t just give things away. I do things to make people miserable and unhappy; it’s in the job title.”
“I tried to go back to the swamp, but it’s not the same,” the Prince lamented. “I’d known my wife since she was a tadpole, but now she wants nothing to do with me. I guess I’m stuck with the Princess. Did you see that gross sore on her upper lip? Yuck!”
Green, slimy, and lovely.

A World Record by a Nose
In August of 1976, Tom Miller of the United States, spent 4 days, 23 hours, 47 minutes, and 3 seconds, pushing a peanut to the summit of Pike’s Peak, with his nose.
He set a new world record for pushing a peanut to the summit of Pike’s Peak with your nose and forever became known as a world record holder.
He also became known as, “that weirdo who pushed a peanut to the top of Pike’s Peak with his nose.”
The Guinness Book of World Records took notice and recorded his feat not once, but twice.
Once, for pushing a peanut to the top of Pike’s Peak with his nose.
A second time, for the biggest waste of 4 days, 23 hours, 47 minutes, and 3 seconds, in recorded history.
Tom Miller’s parents wept tears of joy…well, they wept a lot.
Tom Miller’s life would never be the same.
But few remember the other participant in this record-setting journey and how he was left forever broken.
“Tom Miller can bite me.”
King of New York
I’ve been working on a ballot initiative for the upcoming election.
Excitingly, if my ballot initiative passes, I will become king of the great state of New York.
I must admit, there have been varied reactions to the prospect of my becoming king of New York.
The reactions have ranged from mild laughter to hysterical laughter.
But I would be a kind and benevolent king.
Sure, I’d have some people put to death, but nobody that would be missed:
- Bureaucrats.
- More bureaucrats.
- Parents who allow their children to run around and scream like howler monkeys in The Home Depot. (You know who you are.)
- People who say lol out loud instead of actually laughing.
- This one guy named Ron who is a total dick.
- Even more bureaucrats.
Opponents of my initiative have put forth a myriad of reasons why they think I shouldn’t be king of New York.
They throw around phrases like wildly and maniacally unhinged or dangerously and horribly unbalanced.
(Also, people who overuse adverbs need to go.)
They offer the following proofs:
- We don’t have kings here in America–we’re not Canada.
- They say my plans for a castle with a moat violate all kinds of zoning laws.
- They say my plans for turrets on my castle to hold cannons, would also violate zoning laws.
- They say my plans to imprison every member of the zoning commission are unconstitutional.
- They oppose my plans to create a new constitution for the great state of New York that would allow me to imprison every member of the zoning commission and put cannons wherever the hell I want.
- They claim I really can’t be trusted with cannons. (This one is fair–I will lay waste to things.)
- They oppose my plans to declare war against Canada. (King Trudeau and I haven’t seen eye to eye for some time now.)
- They oppose my plans to make Bigfoot the state bird. (Not everything has to make sense.)
- They say my plans to seize the city of Erie from Pennsylvania and turn it into a maximum-security prison, while understandable, are unrealistic.
- They claim that I am a whack-job who simply can’t be trusted with power of any kind.
While some or most of these points are valid, who cares, I want to be king.
I’m feeling very optimistic.
Addendum: while my previous ballot initiative (slap-an-idiot-in-the-face-day) was a failure, I’m hopeful this initiative fairs better.
I still don’t understand why slap-an-idiot-in-the-face-day failed; it’s clearly needed.
Everybody who voted against it is an idiot who should be slapped in the face…and there should be a specific day for it.
I Would Wish That on My Worst Enemy
Imagine you’re listening to the following story:
So Ron was just standing there, and suddenly this llama bursts out of the brush, ran right past the whole group of us, and bit Ron on the testicles. It was like the llama singled him out. I mean, Ron is a giant prick, but how would the llama know that?
Now the llama is just shaking Ron by his crotch, and Ron is screeching in agony because that llama had some nasty jagged teeth. So then the llama lets go of Ron’s crotch, and it turns around really quickly, so we’re all thinking it’s over and the llama’s just going to run away, but instead, it kicks Ron in the face. Now Ron has nasty jagged teeth too.
At this point, Ron’s just lying there on the ground in a crumpled, whimpering mass, and the llama stands over him and pees on him. Then the llama just gallops away and back into the brush like it’s proud of itself.
Then someone exclaims, “holy shit, why is there even a llama running around Jamestown, New York?”
The person punctuates the story by saying, “I wouldn’t wish that on my worst enemy.”
But you’re thinking to yourself: I would definitely wish that on my worst enemy. I’m a little bit happy it happened to Ron.
You giggle a bit as you imagine it happening to your worst enemy.
Then you start to think: I wonder if I could find that same llama and make it happen to my worst enemy.
It can’t be that hard to find: a stray llama in Jamestown, New York.
Then you start wondering why the word llama is spelled with two l’s at the beginning, but you quickly refocus to planning a llama attack upon your worst enemy.
You could record it and put it on YouTube; that would be awesome! Now you’re starting to get a little excited at the prospect of your worst enemy being the victim of a vicious llama attack.
You realize there’s almost nothing you wouldn’t wish upon your worst enemy.
You’ve wished bad things on people who mildly annoy you. Like that time you got stuck on an elevator with that mime; no invisible wall will stop a kick to the face from a llama, you stupid mime.
You giggle a little, imagining it.
You start wondering if the whole llama thing with Ron wasn’t planned all along; Ron really is a prick.
Now you’re wondering if you’re a terrible person.
Then you stop wondering things because you’ve got a llama to find.

- A bottle of Elmer’s glue that has completely solidified.

It’s a bit cramped, but she’s in there.
The Future of Policing (Fingers Crossed)
I recently happened upon this story at metro.co.uk about a citizen in Los Angeles who witnessed a brawl that was breaking out and tried to report it to a robot police officer:
“Cogo Guebara rushed over to the motorized police officer and pushed its emergency alert button on seeing the brawl break out in Salt Lake Park, Los Angeles, last month.
But instead of offering assistance, the egg-shaped robot, whose official name is HP RoboCop, barked at Guebara to ‘Step out of the way’.
To add insult to injury, the high-tech device then rolled away while humming an ‘intergalactic tune’, pausing periodically to say ‘Please keep the park clean.’”
Isn’t that awesome?
The person who programmed the robot is either tragically incompetent or a genius.
I choose to believe that person is a genius.
I have no idea what ‘intergalactic tune’ the robot was humming. I can only hope it was the theme song from Cops: “bad boys, bad boys, whatcha gonna do?”
Commit their crimes around HP Robocop, that’s what bad boys are gonna do.
HP Robocop is going to ignore the crime being committed and tase the concerned citizen reporting the crime. I envision the concerned citizen lying on the ground in puddle of their own drool and urine as HP Robocop rolls away humming the tune to Shock the Monkey.
At least that’s my hope.
Do I actually hope an innocent person gets tased?
Yes. Yes I do.
I’m only assuming HP Robocop is armed with a taser, but I don’t want to live in a world where HP Robocop isn’t armed with a taser. I also hope he’s programmed to aim for the groin.
There have also been reports of a second HP Robocop running into a child and a third HP Robocop falling into a fountain.
It just keeps getting better!
We need armies of HP Robocops in every community.
After scouring the local news reports here in Jamestown, NY, I found exactly zero stories about a child being runover by a robot or about a robot falling into a fountain.
I didn’t find a single story involving a robot police officer tasing someone in the groin.
It’s like I’m living in a third world country.
I just watched the latest press conference with Governor Hochul: there wasn’t a single mention of HP Robocop, it was just a big wad of useless political gibberish.
The Governor is wasting all this time on gun control when she could be bringing us HP Robocop.
Priorities!
Sure, HP Robocop probably wouldn’t stop any crime and he might even exacerbate the crime, but that’s a chance I’m willing to take.
It’s time to get a ballot initiative going.
It’s time to bring HP Robocop to every community.
