The picture is hilarious! "Yeah mon. *giggle* I feel fuuunny. We just ate and I like got the munchies. Want a donut?" "You look gay." "No man. You look gay." "You look kinda cute in that uniform." Whoa! Took that one too far.

Now this is pure genius!

Posted by Doug McCaughan in : Daily Life, Philosophy, PoetryMy Joy cannot beat Misery
Our Stress weighs too heavy
Stealing away the Happy.
Our Days are filled with constant pleasures
Like firecrackers, numerous, small, quick.
The Suck is like a Nuke
And evaporates all positive energy.
It is all Wrong.
Losing my Fight.
Night Hike at Alum Cave Bluffs September 30, 2006 10:24 am
Posted by Doug McCaughan in : Daily Life, History, PhilosophyYears ago one January I drove to the Smokies with a female companion and we embarked upon a night hike of the Alum Cave Bluffs trail. Our only source of light was the moon and two cheapo AA battery $1 flashlights the first of which died on the hike up just as we emerged from the tree line.
• Alum Cave Bluffs Trail (11 miles round trip) starts off easy but become difficult. An initial one-and-a-half-mile trail takes you through Arch Rock’s erosion-created tunnel. the next 0.8 mile is steeper and leads to Alum Cave Bluffs which is a 100-foot high cliff. This last half of the trail is steep and, at times, hikers must grip trailside cables to traverse cliffs. The trail begins at the Alum Cave Bluffs parking area at Newfound Gap Road between Newfound Gap and Chimney Tops on the Tennessee side of the Smoky Mountains. Elevation gain is 2,800 feet. [Source
We conserved the batteries on the other light and chose to walk the rest of the way up by moonlight. It wasn’t long before we came to a thick, solid sheet of ice covering the trail. To our left, a steep ravine. To our right, a towering ice and snow covered cliff face.
I was pushing the boundary of my comfort zone. This was dangerous, we were ill equiped for such endeavors, and no one knew we were on the trail. I would have been more comfortable alone.
I am a strong believer that we grow by pushing our boudaries. We find the edge of our comfort zone and step just beyond it. That night we made it carefully up the slippery slope and, on the way down, we rode the trail like a surfer rides a wave. It was blast! Right after the ice the second flash light died and we had to hike the rest of the way in the forest blackness.
There is a fine line between pushing the envelop and stupidity. We can step outside of our comfort zones and still be safe. Personal growth comes through experimentation. By definition, nothing happens in stasis. Walk a different path to class. Drive a backroad to work. Wake up earlier than normal. Look at the tree outside your office building and study it. Create change in your life. Seek entropy. And try something that makes you uncomfortable. Live!

Posted by Doug McCaughan in : Humor, PhilosophyWhat would we do without Google Maps?! This bug was last seen in Germany making a toxic spill in a farmer’s crop.
So, can I assume by this image that:
- Space bugs are invading
- Roaches live in space
- The high imaging satellite was infested
- We don’t really have satellites in space. Google maps are done with studio trickery just like the moon landing and this bug walked across an artist rendering just as the picture was made. Btw, the Earth is flat.

Posted by Doug McCaughan in : Humor, PhilosophyNow that the Jeff Goldblum is watching you poop website is gone (yes, that link is intentionally broken) we have to look to other sites to remember why Jeff Goldblum is watching you poop. Of course, the Wayback Machine has the site. Looks like med school took presidence.
So, onto replacement sites! Now we have the Ceiling Cat watching you masterbate. I thought everytime you masterbated a kitten died? What if the Ceiling Cat was that kitten?
