The conventional wisdom was that the Shirlington High's 2-14 record was due to their unorthodox choice of uniforms. But really, it was just bad free throw shooting and sloppy defense.

Random Flickr Blogging #2550

For those unfamiliar with the concept of Random Flickr Blogging, here it is: Tom or Steve from If I Ran the Zoo calls the random number. We trained chimps search for that number on Flickr and post the results. Comical captions are optional.

Rangelife's past attempts are here.

This week is brought to you by the number 2550. And it will be told from the point of view of an Iowa Republican Caucus-Goer.

Some of my fellow Giulianians like to refer to Jimmy Carter as "history's greatest monster." I think that kind of rhetoric poisons the national debate, so I just refer to him as "the President who shat all over freedom."

My son Steve is at Grinnell. I'm so proud of him. He's the first in his family to attend college, and I just know he's making the most of the opportunity.

Greta, I can only imagine what they're eating at the Bettendorf Democrat caucus, but I bet they're not enjoying it as much I'm enjoying your fried Velveeta casserole

Random Flickr Blogging #6754

Hoo boy. It's been like 17 years since I joined the Random Flickr Blogging fray. For those unfamiliar with the concept, each week Tom from If I Ran the Zoo pulls a four-digit number, and we lemmings respond by captioning Flickr pics that their owners were too lazy to title.

This week's lucky number: 6754.

When I tell people that my relatives live in the Swiss Alps, they're like, "Whoa, must be nice to visit." And I'm like, "Sure, if by 'nice' you mean 'so creepy I want to cry and good God I want to go back to New Jersey.'"

Most Constitutional scholars were surprised when the Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that conjoined 18-year-olds were eligible to be President of the United States. Then again, most Democrats were surprised they even made it past the Republican primaries.

The San Diego Queerleaders weren't sure why so few people turned out for their big show, but they suspected that holding it adjacent to Skinhead Metal Fest might have contributed.

It was understandable that the Sioux Falls Say-No-to-Drugs All-Stars would eventually get sick of singing to fourth graders, but perhaps they could have chosen a more natural career transition than turning out South Dakota's hoes.

Shannon and Mona spent the better part of six years seeking the perfect dude for their first three-way, a strategic deferral that seemed especially prescient the day they met Vlad the Three-Armed Slav.

Random Flickr-Blogging #2816

Is there anything more satisfying than a fresh blog meme? I mean, besides hiking, breathing fresh air, doing the sex, chowing on prime rib, drinking a lukewarm Guinness, or punching Sean Hannity in the face?

Here's a fine, fine meme: Random Flickr-Blogging, brought to you courtesy of If I Ran the Zoo. The gyst: New random number every week. Go to Flickr, and search for pics that the users were too lazy to title, so they still have that camera-assigned picture number. Caption snarkily. Enjoy.
