Premise the 59th- Werewolves

Premise: 


Team Jacob Sucks.

More discerning werewolf fans are looking for something grittier... such as the werewolves portrayed in Wolf's Rise, Volume I of the LupoSapien Project, out December 20th on eBook, from very much gooder author Sevastian Winters, (Read the prologue here) and subsequent volumes, to come, Wolf's Cry, Wolfs' Falls, and Wolf's Retribution.

Plus, you should totally follow Buck Levins (a major character in the series) on Twitter

Premise the 58th- National Defense

Premise: The U.S. Armed Forces have nothing to do with national defense.

A nation interested in national defense has an enormous Coast Guard, an unparalleled Border Patrol, and an unprecedented National Guard, while maintaining a joke of an Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marine Corp.....NOT the other way around.

As such, we should change the names of some things.... such as "National Offense Budget" and "Secretary of Offense"...that or we could retreat to our pre-WWII stance on how we use our military. (Oh... and another defensive strategy for not getting hit... DON'T BE THE WORLD'S ASSHOLE!)

Premise the 57th- Self Promotion

Premise: There is, despite any rumor to the contrary, such a thing as going too far with self-promotion...such as, for example, when you hijack your own just-for-fun blog simply to promote your brand new book on writing, marketing, and business,

How I are Becomed 
a Very Much Gooder Author.

Premise the 56th- Toilet Seats

Premise: I think, that where possible, we should deliver more than we promise. 

For example, if you promise your wife that you will always remember to put the toilet seat down after you pee, you should go the extra step and put the lid down as well...

...That way, she has to do some fucking work too.

Premise the 55th- Butternut Squash

Premise: Naming a squash "butternut squash" is cruel, because its flavor can never live up to its namesake. Maybe if they'd called it ""Nut-shaped" squash, I could enjoy the flavor more (once I got past the sexual connotation), but as it is, I'm just disappointed, because butter and nuts (like peanuts, cashews, macadamia, almonds and such) taste AMAZING.... but this..... Well this just tastes like squash!

Premise the 54th- Lion Kibble

Premise: I get tired of religious people using their Bibles (specifically John 15:18-21) as vehicle for smugness when people speak out against them for their hypocrisy and moralistic vitriol.

Unless someone is making them wrestle hungry lions to the death, in the midst of a crowd of people pulling for the lions, they should really shut their faces about how they expect such "persecution" because the Bible says that when people find you to be an asshole in the name of your God, that you are somehow blessed. Sometimes, god or no god, an asshole is just an asshole.

Premise the 53rd- Angry Elves

Premise: Santa's slave labor force, the elves, are not always happy with their working conditions. In fact, between the demands, and the climate, and the silly work uniforms, not to mention that their slave driver sits around on his fat ass acting as nothing but a PR man for their "profitless" company, they are pretty frikken' fed up. In fact, there is talk of a north pole "#occupation" soon.

Premise the 52nd- Slow Kids

Premise: I'm all for taking extra special care of mentally challenged children. But I think we can do it without insulting them, such as in the road sign in this picture. 


Perhaps, instead, when driving we could just watch out for all kids...not just the slow ones. And don't tell me "they didn't mean it like that", because let's face it; the other way to take it (Nope... not accepting more than two possible meanings. Sorry) is a ludicrous statement, because in my experience, all kids are slower than cars. Don't believe me? Chase a few of them. You'll see.

Premise the 51st- Marilyn Monroe

Premise: Marilyn Monroe was okay looking, but truthfully the only thing special about her was that she decided to be glamorous in a time when women were still taught to be demure. Her rebellious nature, rather than her looks are what drove and still drives obsession with her.

Premise the 50th- Armpit Hair

Premise: Despite claims to the contrary, Asian chicks can't grow armpit hair, (and the thousands of Google pics that say otherwise are just falsified) but moustaches painted on fingernails are cute.

Premise the 49th- Stupid Phrase

Premise: The phrase, "I slept like a baby" is a stupid phrase, because people think it's a good thing. It's NOT a good thing to shit yourself in your sleep and/or to wake up six times in the night crying for want of a tit!

Premise the 48th- God

Premise: Sometimes, from what I see in this picture,  people are good, but apparently God's a real bastard! What kind of God loves you so much that he provides you with a new Infinity, but leaves 75% of the world to poverty and disease? Some societies must be REALLY special.

Premise the 47th- Puppy Blood

Premise: Puppy blood is tastier than kitten blood and without unwanted after taste. That's why 9 out of 10 Republicans that drink blood prefer puppy blood when choosing a frothy beverage. Plus, you can carbonate it.

Premise the 46th- Bad Popsicles Part 2

Premise: Wooden popsicle sticks taste nasty. Seriously! For crying out loud! Polio vaccines taste better!  Dear popsicle gods, STOP ruining a perfectly good treat by jamming a bitter piece of wood in the ass end. Do YOU like sucking on lumber after supper?

Premise the 45th- Nectarines vs. Peaches

Premise:Providing that you prefer them over bananas, a nectarine is way more enticing than a peach.

Premise the 44th- Internet ID

Premise: We could eliminate a lot of nuisance from the internet if we had to have a verified internet identification number in order to use the internet. Anonymous users are the scourge of the internet.

Premise the 43rd- Justifiable Homicide

Premise:If you can find the anonymous assholes that purposely start shit with you and attack you on the internet just because they know how, it should be legal to violently kill them. If your life is so shallow that you derive your entertainment or pleasure from personally attacking people online, you are a fucking piece of shit and the planet has no more use for you. Killing such people is nothing more than taking out the trash.

Premise the 42nd- Genderless Scouts

Premise: The Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts should be conglomerated and made simply "Scouts", without separating girls and boys. There is no value in society, other than teaching archaic gender role placement, in separating boys from girls. Boys don't become better men for learning "man things" and girls don't become better women by learning "woman things". We need to stop poisoning our kids with gender roles, and just let them be who they are.

Premise the 41st- Corporate Greed

Premise: The term "Corporate Greed" is an oxymoron. Corporations exist for the sole purpose of making money for shareholders. Only methodology differs. Blaming corporations for doing everything they possibly can to make a buck, within the confines of the laws, is like blaming a dog for pissing on your carpet if no one ever trained him not to.

Premise the 40th- Michael Moore

Premise: Michael Moore's claim to be one of the 99% makes as much sense as Michele Bachmann coming out as a proud black woman. Hey, Mike! Dressing like a slob doesn't make you poor.
