I'm just now starting to understand the internet. Bear with me.
The Most Famous Gym Teacher in Rock & Roll
Noted high school gym teacher, basketball coach, realtor, bar owner and disliker of boys with long hair, Leonard Skinner.
Here he is holding a copy of Nuthin’ Fancy, the third LP from the band that borrowed and tweaked his name for theirs (its gatefold also contains a photo of a Leonard Skinner Realty sign). While Skinner seemed to warm to his legend status, when asked in 2009 (a year before his death) if he’d learned to like Lynyrd Skynyrd as well he offered this candidly cantankerous response: “No. I don’t. I don’t like rock ‘n’ roll music.”
Apparently Lynard Skynard was named after this high school gym coach, Leonard Skinner

Google Dolly Parton quotes, you’ll be happy you did.
“The only way I’d be caught without makeup is if my radio fell in the bathtub while I was taking a bath and electrocuted me and I was in between makeup at home. I hope my husband would slap a little lipstick on me before he took me to the morgue.”
“It’s a good thing I was born a girl, otherwise I’d be a drag queen”
“I was the first woman to burn my bra - it took the fire department four days to put it out.”
“My weaknesses have always been food and men - in that order.”

Glenn Beck got weepy at an NRA thing because he knows the truth, that the “freedom of all mankind is at stake” if Americans are forced to wait two days for a background check before legally owning a gun. He made the totally rational argument that if we allow the legal ownership of ONLY handguns, shotguns and rifles but ban extended clips and AR-15s, the 2nd amendment will pretty much be useless and Americans will become defenseless to a “new kind of enemy”.
He told the audience that “the hour is near” for the stakes of the world because they’re going after the “core of America”… the 2nd amendment! And if the 2nd sort of gets limited, then the 1st will clearly be abolished followed by the 4th, the 9th, 3rd… 5th? I’m hazy on the exact order but it all leads to more income taxes. Who wants to take those amendments and burn them? A ”new kind of enemy.” The very government we democratically elected is now “run by radical revolutionaries” who will stop at nothing to leave us defenseless to rapists and murderers.
He then made a rallying call for us to follow in the footsteps of Jesus, Ghandi and Martin Luther King. These great leaders fought for gun rights just like the NRA is today. I know it’s difficult, but when you’re being crucified, on a hunger strike or being sprayed down with fire hoses at the next peaceful NRA march think of those leaders. Because gun owners are not like those “absolute dopes” and “dirty hippies” that use name calling and fear to win. We use the principals of our founding fathers to guide us, just not the stuff about slavery, woman not being able to vote, or native american genocide.
The founders knew how important guns were, that’s why they used them to settle arguments. Sadly, progressives managed to outlaw dueling. Don’t let the same thing happen to your right to give a 5 year old a rifle or store your extra guns in their closet.
Seems like a logical way to solve problems

“The Cool Thing To Do” when you’re a camp counselor and you’re on your day off with the other camp counselors is to go to the beach and go skinny dipping. The only problems are that it’s co-ed, and that I am a fat teenager with major body issues who doesn’t even like taking his baggy sweatshirt off because the tee shirt underneath doesn’t really fit right. As the sun goes down, we build a bonfire and everyone else gets naked and runs into the surf. The peer pressure to “relax and just zen out, man” is incredible. It’s really stressing me out.
Tank (the other counselors call him that because he’s built like one and because the other counselors are terrible coming up with creative nicknames) is not in the surf, however. No. Everyone tried - with no success - to get me to take off my clothes and go in the water, and Tank is the last person still trying to convince me that “dude, just do it, it’s awesome”. Undercutting the awesomeness of being naked is his penis, which is about 8 inches from my eyes. It’s looking into my face; into my soul. I can’t help but think that police interrogators could learn a thing or two from Tank. Good Cop, Bad Penis.
I look past his non-tank-size dick to the surf beyond, squinting to try to better see Claire - this summer’s unbearable crush - who is in the water. Naked. I curse the brackish Michigan water and the falling dusk for not letting me see her more naked. At 19, I am great at getting boners from pretty much anything about Claire - the line of her blue skirt across the tanned skin of her thigh; the soft curve of her neck down into her ratty grey “DARTMOUTH” sweatshirt; the way the morning sun gently caresses the side of her face as she purposefully chews her oatmeal - but it is impossible for me to get a boner from just the back of her head floating on the water next to Tank’s penis. I sigh and look up, past an enormous amount of tangled pubic hair, to his face. Okay, half his face.
Is it weird to reblog other people’s farts?
Last week Erika let me have one of her temporary tattoos, so I snatched up the “Your Mom” banner and attached it immediately to the top of my left tit. It was white trash, stupid, and washable. I was so in love with it.
It went over well with folks at the production company I work for during…
I love you Dani Rosenberg
