Children like their mothers because they're comforting.

Adults like their mothers because they appreciate how honest they can be:

Don't worry Osama,

It didn't work out very well for MC Hammer either.

The only April Fool's Day jokes I'm interested in

NEVER EVER GETS LESS FUNNY.

Also, why is no one in this video at all fazed by this amazing feat of nature? They just amble along in their crocs, not at all worried about the consequences this unlikely friendship may have. You would think they hadn't seen The Fox and the Hound. Speaking of that movie, I am still unsure whether that owl was male or female.

New Rule:

I'll only post videos of comedians making fun of famous people when they die. Sentimental about death ain't my thing, y'all. RIP Elizabeth. Have fun being weird as shit in Heaven with Michael Jackson.

That's right I said it: Michael Jackson is in Heaven.

Shut up; I don't even believe in Heaven.

But MJ definitely made the cut. He's in Heaven. Hangin' out with dead kids.

from "East of Eden"...

Our species is the only creative species, and it has only one creative instrument, the individual mind and spirit of a man. Nothing was ever created by two men. There are no good collaborations, whether in music, in art, in poetry, in mathematics, in philosophy. Once the miracle of creation has taken place, the group can build and extend it, but the group never invents anything. The preciousness lies in the lonely mind of a man.

And now the forces marshaled around the concept of the group have declared a war of extermination on that preciousness, the mind of man. By disparagement, by starvation, by repressions, forced direction, and the stunning hammerblows of conditioning, the free, roving mind is being pursued, roped, blunted, drugged. It is a sad suicidal course our species seems to have taken.

And this I believe: that the free, exploring mind of the individual human is the most valuable thing in the world. And this I would fight for: the freedom of the mind to take any direction it wishes, undirected. And this I must fight against: any idea, religion, or government which limits or destroys the individual. This is what I am and what I am about. I can understand why a system built on a pattern must try to destroy the free mind, for that is one thing which can by inspection destroy such a system. Surely I can understand this, and I hate it and I will fight against it to preserve the one thing that separates us from the uncreative beasts. If the glory can be killed, we are lost.
