The right way to hang toilet paper

Over, of course!

There’s even a canvas print of the patent.

Holy shit, somehow I have remained unaware of what is apparently a raging, long-running debate about toilet paper orientation. Had a friend send this to me and, incredibly, *endorse the "under" position*. You think you know someone.

Charles Addams

Before the Addams Family TV show from the 1960s and the Addams Family films from the 1990s, there were the cartoons by Charles Addams. They primarily appeared in the New Yorker.

Most of the characters from the TV show appear in the cartoons. Thing and Cousin It were not in the cartoons as far as I know but every other major character was in the cartoons. Addams also drew other cartoons that featured his sinister sense of humor. Books and prints are available. This is the link to the Tee and Charles Addams Foundation.

Laurel Hill Cemetery

I was watching Creed II and saw Adrian Balboa’s grave marker. I wondered if it was really in a cemetery. It is! It’s in the really odd Laurel Hill Cemetery in Philadelphia which I visited on September 2, 2011. It’s got General Meade (Northern general who won Gettysburg) and Confederate soldiers. It has a store which sells stuff like Death Mints. It has Phillies broadcaster Harry Kalas’ grave and a museum-style collection of his memorabilia. You have to see the grave. It has Veterans Stadium seats (which you can still get from Archer Seating) and a giant microphone.

Here are my pictures and clips I found on YouTube.

Monday holidays

This one’s a satire:

I don’t think it’s right that we celebrate birthday holidays like Washington’s birthday (which is the actual holiday) or King’s birthday on Mondays. How would you like it if I said to you ” Your birthday is on Thursday but I’m going to celebrate it on Monday because that’s more convenient for me.”

I figured out how we can move July 4th to a Monday. Rename it “Independence Day.”
