Greetings, Laff Lovers!!!

Last semester my son, Chris, took a high school art class. He asked me if he could paint my portrait for a class assignment. I agreed, and he painted and submitted the portrait, only to receive a C minus.

He approached the teacher to ask why the grade was so poor. The teacher told him that the proportions in the painting were incorrect. "The head is too big," the teacher explained. "The shoulders are too wide, and the legs are too short."

The next day, Chris brought me with him to see the teacher. She took one look at me and said, "Okay, A minus."

Have a very LARGE day, Folliers!

Artistically,

me

The operators of a rope tow in a popular ski area were having trouble with non-ticket purchasers sneaking onto the ski lift. Finally, one of the operators stayed at his post operating the tow, while the other, wearing a discarded pair of skis, elbowed his way to the head of the line. The tow operator promptly called him back, "Hey, where's your lift ticket?"

"I don't need a ticket to ride this tow."

At this, the tow operator produced an ax and, with two blows, deftly chopped off the fronts of his partner's skis, just ahead of his toes. With the crowd of skiers staring in amazement, the operator lowered his ax and turned to the crowd, "Anyone else out there who doesn't have a lift ticket?"

Scientists to Move Doomsday Clock Forward

WASHINGTON - The keepers of the "Doomsday Clock" plan to move its hands forward next Wednesday to reflect what they call worsening nuclear and climate threats to the world.

Doomsday ClockThe symbolic clock, maintained by the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists, currently is set at seven minutes to midnight, with midnight marking global catastrophe.

The group did not say in which direction the hands would move. But in a news release previewing an event next Wednesday, they said the change was based on "worsening nuclear, climate threats" to the world.

"The major new step reflects growing concerns about a 'Second Nuclear Age' marked by grave threats, including: nuclear ambitions in Iran and North Korea, unsecured nuclear materials in Russia and elsewhere, the continuing 'launch-ready' status of 2,000 of the 25,000 nuclear weapons held by the U.S. and Russia, escalating terrorism, and new pressure from climate change for expanded civilian nuclear power that could increase proliferation risks," the release reads.

The clock was last pushed forward by two minutes to seven minutes to midnight in 2002 amid concerns about the proliferation of nuclear, biological and other weapons and the threat of terrorism.

When it was created by the magazine's staff in 1947, it was initially set at seven minutes to midnight and has moved 17 times since then.

It was as close as two minutes to midnight in 1953 following U.S. and Soviet hydrogen bomb tests, and as far away as 17 minutes to midnight in 1991 after the superpowers reached agreement on a nuclear arms reductions.

[I figured this would've happened the moment the shiat hit the fan on 9/11/01.]

Four men were bragging about how smart their cats are. The first man was an engineer, the second man was an accountant, the third man was a chemist, the fourth was a government employee.

To show off, the engineer called to his cat, "Tsquare, do your stuff."

Tsquare pranced over to a desk, took out some paper and a pen and promptly drew a circle, a square, and a triangle. Everyone agreed that was pretty smart.

But the accountant said his cat could do better. He called his cat and said, "Spreadsheet, do your stuff."

Spreadsheet went out into the kitchen and returned with a dozen cookies. He divided them into 4 equal piles of 3 cookies each.

Everyone agreed that was good, but the chemist said his cat could do better. He called his cat and said, "Measure, do your stuff."

Measure got up, walked over to the fridge, took out a quart of milk, got a 10 ounce glass from the cupboard and poured exactly 8 ounces without spilling a drop.

Everyone agreed that was good.

Then the three men turned to the government employee and said, "What can your cat do?"

The government worker called to his cat and said, "Coffee Break, do your stuff."

Coffee Break jumped to his feet, ate the cookies, drank the milk, crapped on the paper, had sex with the other three cats, claimed he injured his back while doing so, filed a grievance report for unsafe working conditions, put in for workers compensation and went home for the rest of the day on sick leave.

Dining out one evening I noticed some teenagers celebrating at a nearby table. When one girl pulled out a camera, I offered to take a picture of the group. After one photo I suggested taking another just in case the first one didn't come out.

"That's ok," she said as she took her camera back. "I always get double prints."

The Top 20 Bad Suspense Novel Metaphors or Similes

20> Worn down at the edges like a Times Square hooker, the caretaker's last tooth lay on the floor like a yellow Chiclet.

19> When she stepped out of her dress, she had the body of a 90-year-old nun, if the nun looked as young, attractive, and sexy as the dame standing in front of me.

18> The situation had become topsy-turvy -- like Christmas in the summer, if you're in Australia.

17> The information imbedded on the stolen computer chip was like an explosive so explosive it could explode, creating a massive explosion.

16> As I watched through the slatted shades, her bosom bounced like her suspicious husband's first check.

15> The killer was a misplaced comma in the jaunty, happy sentence that made up the party crowd.

14> His face looked like an ice sculpture. Not one of those pretty ones in the middle of a cruise ship buffet, but the kind they do in a contest with a chainsaw -- and it had been out in the heat too long.

13> Like any family, this house had its secrets, secrets it grimly refused to reveal, and would continue to refuse to reveal even if it could speak, which unlike a family, or at least most members of most families, it couldn't.

12> The air of danger perversely made Nina's heart harden, like that Magic Shell stuff on a bowl of ice cream.

11> From his vantage point in the balcony, the would-be assassin looked down on the debating candidates like a webhead looking down on an AOL user.

10> The sudden darkness made the Countess tense, like Bobby Jerome that time with the bicycle in 7th grade, remember?

  9> There was something funny about the kidnapping crime scene that Special Agent Frievald couldn't quite place, and the thought stuck with him throughout the rest of the day, like those tiny little bits of the circumferent skin from the bologna slices on a foot-long Subway Cold Cut Trio that get stuck in between the last two molars on the upper left, on the tongue side where you can't possibly reach them with a toothpick, your fingernails, or even a systematically straightened paper clip, they just sit there and make every thing you eat at your next meal taste vaguely like vinegar and mayonnaise, and then somehow -- quietly but miraculously -- they disappear by themselves in the middle of the night while you're asleep, just like the visiting Countess appeared to have done.

  8> Her parting words lingered heavily inside me like last night's Taco Bell.

  7> The bullet burned Gilmore's gut like the first piss after a long night in a Singapore brothel.

  6> A single drop of sweat slowly inched down Chad's brow -- a tiny, glistening Times Square New Year's Eve Ball of desperation.

  5> His .38 barked fire, like John Goodman's butt after a chili cookoff.

  4> Her blazing eyes danced like Astaire and Rogers, but since they were crossed, it was an ocular tango, and my eyes had to foxtrot just to maintain eye contact.

  3> She had a voice so husky it could have pulled a dogsled, and the gun she was holding gave me a bad case of barrel envy.

  2> The neon sign reflected off his gun, like the moonlight reflects off my brother-in-law's bald head after a night of beer drinking and cow-tipping.

and Topfive.com's Number 1 Bad Suspense Novel Metaphor or Simile...

  1> Unable to contain his rage, he burst like a pimple of emotion, the pus of his fury streaking the mirror of calm in the bathroom of his life.

 Folly Fallout

To send an email to Fogie and try to attain your very own 15kb of fame in the Fallout, click here.

Regarding "Dallas School Sued Over Racism Accusations"...

From the article: "The defendants have crossed the line in this case with their attempts to segregate white children into separate classes, with their attempts to attract white students and ultimately with their attempts to halt white flight in violation of the law," David Hinojosa, a lawyer with the Mexican American Legal Defense and Education Fund, said in opening arguments before a federal judge.

From this it's obvious these racists want whites out of the picture. They want "white flight" so the school/neighborhood will be theirs. They passionately hate white people. It's called "tolerance" and "diversity". Ask any silly liberal. This is perfectly acceptable as long as the ones being hated and excluded are white. If whitie happens to be Christian -- whoa -- feeding frenzy. Jackpot.

Question: Mexican American Legal Defense and Education Fund... Is there an Anglo American Legal Defense and Education Fund??? -Jimbo, Minneapolis, MN
[Yes, but it is more commonly known as the "Republican National Committee".]

I'm a little confused over why a public elementary school is advertising in the first place. If it's supported by taxes, why exactly does it bother them if the "rich white kids" go off to private school? -Sam
[If your kids don't go to the school because you've got them in a private alternative, how seriously are you going to consider voting for levies to support the school system? How hard are you going to lobby your representative to support the school system? How many $6 candy bars are you gonna buy to support the PTA?]

When the kids go to another school the funding for those kids go with them. That is what this is really about. The school board should work on making the school a better place and than the kids will come back. -Steven C.
[Yeah, 'cause most public schools are a shangri-freakin'-la.]

As for whether "diversity" means "blackness" -- well, of course that's what it means in PC-land! -MasterChief
[It might be nice to have a NAACP for me though, (National Association for the Advancement of Caucasian People).]

Oh come on - we all know there's only ONE minority that matters. -Grant, Ridgecrest, CA
[The one comprised of ultra witty ezine publishers?]

The truth is, people with no stake in the public schools really don't often care about them. This is a matter of trying to get the affluent community NOT to abandon the schools. -Stan, Louisville, KY
[And maintain contacts so that when they grow up and open their lawn service businesses they have a ready employment pool.]

Regarding "Mannequin Fetishist Could Get Life"...

The article mentioned a "stiff sentence" I certainly hope so. Anyone who has sex with a dummy is truly an idiot. -Zebra Bob, Düsseldorf, NRW
[And yet we allow your wife to run free.]

Dotson was arrested after police say he smashed a window at a cleaning-supply company to get at a "female mannequin dressed in a black and white French maid's uniform." If you dress them so provocatively, what do you expect? -Pam, Tampa/St Pete, FL
["Well, your honor, she had that come-hither look in her eyes; I swear she WANTED it and I DID buy dinner."]

Stealing mannequins dressed in french maid's uniforms and lingerie sounds like a purely sexual thing. This is what happens when you think it's normal for your little boy to play with dolls. He probably gets off on the feeling of fiberglass splinters on his privates. If he has not raped anybody yet, I expect he would eventually. Very impulsive to smash the glass and just take what you want. -Venture
[Every man needs a hobby.]

as for the mannequin article, since the b & e was done to satisfy a sexual fetish, will this man have to register as a sex offender when he gets out of prison? i know the article says he faces life, but that doesn't generally mean life in human years. -Cranky Bitch
[No, he'll be sent to a kennel to serve what equates to 1/7th of that.]

Although he's from Detroit, for some reason I'm amazed to learn that he's black. -Janie
[Yeah, I had stereotyped the whites and Asians as having cornered the market on weird perversity.]

I think he needs professional help, happy and healthy people dont have sex with mannequins. End of story. -Aussie Chick
[Happy and healthy people don't have sex with Aussie's either.]

seems harsh, there must be a more appropriate punishment. -Donnie
[I say a more appropriate punishment is to make him watch "Mannequin", that horrible Andrew McCarthy movie, on an endless loop.]

Mannequin fetishist...say that with a mouth full of crackers. -Kentucky Bob
[Mahsdhjnm fjsbhdssdbt.]

...get at a female mannequin dressed in a black and white French maid's uniform.
...get at a mannequin in a pink dress with bobbed hair.
...finding him in an alley behind a woman's store with three lingerie-clad mannequins.
Man... here I am wasting my time with real women. -Chaz, Space
[Yeah, his parties are a lot more fun than yours.]

My mom's hometown... that town has gone to hell in the last 8 years or so. When I read the headline, I was hoping "Please don't be my dad... this would not be a good way to find out something like this." -Infamous G
[Exactly what would be a good way to find out something like this?]

this guy needs psychological help. sending him back to jail isn't going to help anyone. freakin' judicial system. -Mookie
[Jail is not meant to help... it is meant to punish. Unlike me, the government is not here to save you from yourself.]

Regarding "Fogie Resigns"...

Quitter! -Tom, Knoxville, TN
[If only your parents had.]

Does this mean there won't be any more Follies? -Stacy
[That's exactly what it means, Stacy... you are dreaming this entire issue.]

Hey! I thought I was Time's person of the year!!! -Brad
[Updating that resume, are we?]

Like we haven't heard before that we're going to get more! -Angela, NJ
[Yet you continue to believe all those chatroom guys.]

So now you work for the guy that works for you????? -Lynne, Chattaroy (Spokane), WA
[Shhhhh... he might hear you.]

Why would anyone working for themselves hire someone to be their boss? Decide you couldn't handle your job and finally brought someone more intelligent in to do it for you? -Aaron, Chicago
[Now, if only G. Dubya will follow my example...]

Glad to hear that someone else is in charge now! Now maybe we can actually get some new columns... and funny ones at that! -Andrea
[They've always been funny... I simply don't write down to your level.]

What kind of respectible website could Knox possibly come up with? Pleeeeaaase! -Tammy in CT
[Although I have no idea what he is planning yet, if you're expecting respectability from him, then you will surely be disappointed. But knowing you, Tammy, I'd say his anticipated porn and perversity will be tops on your must-read list.]

Mr. Fogie: I have had the pleasure of doing business with Mr. Slade. I find it difficult to believe that someone of his stature and prestige in the internet design and publishing industry would leave the outstanding firm he is currently with to be part of an organization the caliber of yours. He does not strike me as a gentleman that would want to be associated in any way with a gang of foul-mouthed, irresponsible, radically left-wing porn pushers such as yourself and your cohorts. If what you wrote is, in fact, accurate, then I can only assume that his first priority will be to eradicate your publication, rid the payroll of you and the other "editors", and attempt to steer the company ship in a more respectable direction. -J. Carver, Nashville, TN
[DYAMN!!! Well, rest assured that Byron Slade (B.S.) is indeed joining our firm. And I can only assume that all that ego stroking you're doing is repayment for some prior sexual favor he gave you while you guys were doing your, er, "business" together.]

General comments...

Fogie: Whats up with the Follies? No new issues in several weeks. I'm bored and getting way too much work done. -Kim
[How are you gonna pay for your drinking habit without overtime?]

I see Bush continues to replace his advisors that disagree with him. He now has new officers more sympathetic to his "surge" plan. -Matt
[This will be the second time his "surge" plan gets rejected... Laura rejected his first "surge" plan when he attempted one during their honeymoon.]

blah blah blah blah blah... What is this crap? I don't wanna read about your kid growin' up or some new suit at work. What the hell? You suck! -Rosa
[I'm sorry, Rosa, I would write about something you're interested in but I don't know much about escaping the sexual inadequacy traumas caused by drunken co-dependent parents.]

you say the things i only think about saying... i'm so glad i found you... please keep on dishing it out. -Beth, Canada
[Loser.]

When will you have something interesting to say? Love, -Laura
[When I tell you you can put your clothes back on and leave.]

Hey Fogie... I been reading your stuff for years, so I noticed a change in your writing. I think you would make a better story teller and book person. Don't slam me or my mother... I just wanted to send you a word of encouragement. Sincerly, -Cindy
[I bet you were one of those ugly, pimply chicks who always smelled like Cheetos and hung out with the schmucks who played Dungeons and Dragons until one night one of them scored some PBR from the old man's fridge and now you're an ugly, pimply, single mother who lives in her parents' basement with her ugly, pimply baby. Not that I'm slamming you... or your ugly, pimply mother.]

Fogie, I just saw an interesting comment from US officials regarding Hussein's hanging: "We would have handled the execution differently." They did not elaborate but it got me wondering how we would have done it. Any ideas? -Leslie, Allentown, PA
[Yeah, our version would have included a waterboard, genital jumper cables, sheets with eye holes, a nude pyramid, a ravenous German Shepard and a hillbilly woman dressed as a soldier.]
