Most Eyebrow-Raising Headline of the Week

Try again



 "From Duds to Suds: Lululemon going into beer business" - Toronto Star


The Vancouver-based business announced it’s going to make something called “Curiosity Lager” ... The enterprise appears to take aim at the men’s yoga apparel market ... It seems that when it comes to reaching men, companies will try just about anything.

The curiosity will be "why would anyone drink this?".

James: I have to agree. It isn't like we lack beer options. It's all micro this and craft that in every city in the U.S. and Canada. "Pairs great with yoga pants" should get your Man Card cancelled with extreme prejudice.

James: TSB; 3 days of yoga cleared up my sore shoulder but I did it in my white underwear on the bedroom floor and told everyone it was egoscue.
gwb (The hardest part was finding my glasses when I got done. The next day when I was sure it was gone I had a Pale Lager.)

TSB: In Virginia they are thinking of issuing Lululemmon outfits to grade schoolers. The colors will indicate their V-STACK rating. gwb





Our government want us to believe that EVERY student is a potential threat and we need threat to stop them.



[…]



Every student is given a “THREAT ASSESSMENT” by police and school administrators!



Schools and police are using V-STAG to assess a ‘threat level:gwb



“The Virginia Student Threat Assessment Guidelines (V-STAG) is a school-based manualized process designed to help school administrators, mental health staff, and law enforcement officers assess and respond to threat incidents involving students in kindergarten through 12th grade and prevent student violence.”

The war on terror is out of control! Watch out that kindergarten kid could be a threat! (The beer is not included without parental approval.)

Student threat assessments from K to 12? Somebody needs a couple of beers and a quiet place to chill out. And I don't mean the students.

Skep Anon,
Once I had world class vices, now I'm reduced to Blue Bell Ice cream and pecan pie, oh how the mighty have fallen. Though I will say this, no man walks this earth who's tough enough (or woman sexy enough) to get me to wear "yoga pants".
As far as V-STAG goes with me, I wouldn't try it. Anyway the fools don't realize all they're doing is cementing those in kids heads that they are the "Man" representing everything that is uncool. A title they will never shake with those kids.

James: Good point about the unintended education that the security state delivers to kids. Step out of line, the Man come and take you away.

TSB: http://www.yementimes.com/ Looks like the Saudi 'Humanitarian bombing campaign' is finally paying off! First humanitarian supplies to land at Saana airport in 4 months! Hillary Clinton was asked about it at a book signing but wasn't able to hear the question. The questioner was quickly 'spirited' away. She was later heard to say: "We have to something about that hearing... I mean these ears!" gwb

James: You don't need world class devices! What you need is at least 3 wedges in your bag at all times! I heard it from the winner of that big tournament in Scotland! gwb

TSB: Chinese Stocks Suffer Second Biggest Crash In History, 1,500 Companies Halted Limit Down. Time to buy Greek Islands or move to Taiwan!! gwb

We should all know by now that there is no point asking Hillary a question at a public event. If you have a question about anything, go to a Trump event. He actually *solicits* questions.

Skep,

It's the LAW TSB! The Brits have leap-frogged ahead of the USA in jailing these little terrorist bastards. Virginia is just trying to catch-up. Of course, public education has been a 'reeducation program' since I was a kid which is why I turned out so ignorant and mediocre. But JAIL??? gwb

Way to go James! They will be playing that in the grocery stores after the millenials take over.
