Professor Music's Weird Link o' the Day
The basic elements of a classic Professor Music weird link: (1) somebody had to conceive an idea like this, but people think of odd things all the time, so (2) that person has to be committed to bringing the idea to full fruition, but some committed people nonetheless remained daunted by the work ahead, so (3) that person has to expend the enormous energy to launch it in public and cause most who see it to admiringly feel, WTF? I give you an artist much too dedicated to the possibilities of tampons and their tubes. www.tamponcrafts.com

I've got some deer hunting friends who swear that hanging used tampons (yes, I said USED)around their deerstands will attract bucks. My reply is always the same, "You're f#$king disgusting!!!!

lawsuit against God - That's a unique idea. Too God was too scared to show up. I would have liked to hear his arguements.

Oops! That should have been Too bad God was too scared to show up. I'm not using my God-given intelligence.

When I was a kid I had to do one of those stupid school projects where you make the castle for history class. Mine had tampon canons. Now I wish I'd made the whole thing out of tampons. I wonder what my husband would do if I made some of those things and used them as decoration around the house?

Ernie Chambers: That's great, you'll never be able to convince these nut jobs to see reason so say something he can't refute...Sir, please prove He was served? Can't? Oh, too bad so sad.

dancer's shoe came off - Talk about getting a face full.
Mario Paz - Don't police usually have to pull these guys into an interrogation room and shine a light on them. This butthole just had to be told about a light to spill his beans.

Didi - A friend's girlfriend did that for us a couple of times. I had a pocket size NIV New Testament Bible with the Psalms that I used. Bible paper is pretty good for rolling. I think I still have it somewhere. It's missing a bunch of the Psalms because, well, they went up in flames. PTL!!

Sometimes I think I'm already there. In my defense, I didn't use the pages that had red text. And I only rolled when my bong was in need of repair.
