Promethean Times 
“Healthcare providers first look for an athlete lying on the field in a fetal position…and screaming.”—That’s also how we detect someone hiding from their annual rectal exam…
Summer break or not, I had to stop by for a PT Headlines post. So glad I did. Lots of great laughs (that make me feel terrible for laughing) in this one!
Glad you enjoyed it, Carrie–and thanks for stopping by; it’s always delightful to see you. I hope your summer is treating you well.
I loved “Spooky Road” although I wish you’d given a general vicinity (I don’t mean like GPS coordinates–I’m no stalker, but something I can look at on a map ((e.g., NE Vermont))). I once saw a road in Maine similar to that. It wasn’t as cool or secluded, but it was called ‘Wit’s End,’ which made it kinda neat.
It’s a street in Keene, New Hampshire. It’s so eerie on a snowy night–probably the worst conditions to get out of my car and snap a picture…
Cool, thanks! The closest I’ve been to there is Austerlitz, New York, which is a bit to the south, and the NH coast. I do see that Keene is not terribly far from Nashua (nothing in that part of the country is very far from anything else), home of former congressman Dick Sweatt. Actually, I don’t know that he was from Nashua, but my friend whom he represented was.
You’re right. Everything is in close proximity, yet far enough apart to be annoying when you don’t want to drive 40 minutes to go see a movie in a decent theater…
It takes me about a half-hour (with parking) to get to the closest theater with more than one screen. I don’t watch many movies, though.
That’s the beauty of living in a A Place Between Cleveland and Akron (said tongue-in-cheek)–I can get to most anywhere I want in any direction within 5-10 minutes.
Do you have drive-ins? I think it would be fun to see a drive-in by the light of a burning river.
Aw, that’s sweet. Maybe they could show ‘Carrie.’
Lots of stories about babies, pregnancies and boobs in this one. Smak, is there something you’re not telling us that we should know?
Dear God, I hope not! Maintaining my sprawling brood of Teutonic troublemakers is already a tremendous expense to the American taxpayer.
We don’t mind, especially if it keeps you people from starting yet another war!
We don’t mind, if it keeps you Hun bastards from starting yet another war.
Cheers,
Bill
“Well, in a very real way you’ve been knocked-up by Yoo-Hoo and Jelly doughnuts.” Ha. Rarely do I laugh out loud, but this got me. Which sucks because I’m in a confessional.
Well, if I were a priest, I think I’d laugh during confession, too. I’m glad I made you laugh, Mike. Thanks!
I should always keep to the Headlines and your funny commentary and NOT read the articles! But I just think No, No, that’s bullshit….stop me!!! (what sicko would rape a duck)
(what sicko would rape a duck)
Tell me about it, that’s just crazy. Now lady geese? They’re hot!
If you knew earlier that it was a food baby,you could have saved that Peace Corp trip.
But we’ve rented your room til you get back, so I guess it’s a win!
As long as I can spend the next eighteen months successfully dodging headhunters and deadly serpents!
Isn’t Blond Monkey a band? Or wait, maybe it’s a craft beer. If it’s a real monkey in Congo, it’s probably going to be bush meat before it can take over anything.
The lesser primates underestimate the Uber-Monkey at their peril.
My favorite caption here: “Where’s Your Theory Of Relatives Now, Eisenstein?”
Well, bless you for not just thinking I was a moron (in this instance, anyway). Being a pedantic nerd myself, I’m tickled by the notion that even in this moment of extreme terror, Arvind is struggling to contain the urge to remind his assailant, “Actually, it’s the theory of relativity, and the man who first propounded it…” because he knows it will only start the beating afresh.
“(SOB!) Someday…someday I’ll start a company and I’ll hire you to work at it. Then, when you least expect it, I’LL DOWNSIZE, motherfucker! You’ll see!”
Damn, that’s an awful lot of Jimmy Carter hate. Let it go….
We were willing to forgive him when he started building houses. But he didn’t have to bring weed into this. That was out of line, and he knows it.
I, for one, welcome our new goose-stepping blond monkey overlords.
A wise choice, and one that will undoubtedly help steer you through the myriad horrors of Sheissegeflingennacht (the night of thrown feces).
And also, were you riffing on Kent Brockman’s line about ants? If so, that was way cool. If not, it was a cool coincidence.
I wasn’t, although I remember that line. I’ve heard the line adapted for a variety of different overlords, so I thought it would be only fitting here.
I am SO HAPPY you put a picture of Howard the Duck in there. I hadn’t seen the picture yet, and instantly thought of it when I read that headline. I hate missed opportunities for jokes.
Thank goodness editor’s just a name that doesn’t have real meaning at all–hilarious stuff, as always! I was just scared with the last pic for a while, I thought that person lost his/her nipples.
