Deep metaphysical question here: would a dog wear pants on all four legs (since you wear pants on your legs) or would Fido just wear pants on his back legs since pants should cover the booty?

Or, should dogs simply not wear pants?

I'd love to see your responses in the comment section below.

Things That Make You Go "Hmm..."

Head-scratcher ad of the day: Duluth Trading Company

Hard to figure out who is getting insulted in this web ad for Duluth Trading Company...?

Is Duluth saying women are "pansies" for carrying a purse?

Or are men "pansies" for carrying a tote bag that's not an "oil cloth tote?"

Things that make you go "hmm..."

UPDATE: The Duluth Trading Company responded to blogger Joe Jervis of JoeMyGod on Twitter. See below:

Powdered alcohol coming this Fall

What could possibly go wrong?

From Newsy:

The U.S. Treasury's Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau has just approved — wait for it — powdered alcohol.

A Bevlaw blogger first spotted the application, which approves seven different varieties of powdered alcohol. The blogger writes, "I am not astonished that this is a real product — but I am absolutely astonished that this is approved. ... The person that pushed this through must be very patient or lucky." (Via Lehrman Beverage Law)

The alcohol powder that will be coming to the States includes vodka and rum powders, along with powdered cocktails like Lemon Drop, Cosmopolitan, Mojito and Margarita. They're all going to be marketed under the brand ... *deep sigh* ... "Palcohol."

In what appears to be one of its rare moments of maturity, the Internet has greeted Palcohol with skepticism. Gawker calls Palcohol "a product that, in the wrong hands, could make the darkest days of the Four Loko era look tame."

And The Braiser rants, "An alcoholic product that could easily be confused for a Crystal Lite package CLEARLY WON’T CAUSE ANY TROUBLE, RIGHT GUYS? *facepalm*"

Meanwhile, under the lede "Well, this sure is a terrible idea," Refinery29 notes most Palcohol products are advertised as containing about 55 percent to 65 percent alcohol by volume. "We can practically hear the chorus of stomach pumps now."

This cached version of the Palcohol website — pre-federal approval, of course — features a list of "possibilities" for the product. The list includes dodging expensive booze prices at clubs and concert, smuggling alcohol into the big game, and mixing powdered vodka into your next omelet.

And then there's this paragraph, reprinted in full. "Let's talk about the elephant in the room ... snorting Palcohol. Yes, you can snort it. And you'll get drunk almost instantly because the alcohol will be absorbed so quickly in your nose. Good idea? No. It will mess you up. Use Palcohol responsibly." Thanks for the tip, Palcohol.

Palcohol is expected to hit the shelves this fall. As with all alcohol products, use Palcohol responsibly and safely. And please don't snort and drive.

Pastor Phil Kidd on the Baptist Church circuit

Mississippi televangelist Pastor Phil Kidd is touring Baptist churches all over the nation for the rest of the year:

Drs. Phil and Leslie Kidd have given their lives to cross this great nation allowing Dr. Kidd to reach many souls for the cause of Christ.

His ministry has extended into tent revivals, camp meetings, church revivals, and youth camps all across The United States and other countries.

Dr. Kidd is well known for his uncompromising stand against sin as well as his great love to reach the lost world with The Gospel.

Buildings everywhere overflow with crowds that drive long distances to hear this man of God thunder God's Word.

His labor has not been without persecution and misunderstandings. Yet after all of these years he still presses on with a desire to be faithful to his Wonderful Saviour.

Take a listen below for a sample of Pastor Phil.

I'm not sure why he's so out of breath at the beginning of the clip.

And I'm not sure that making fun of how Muslims smell or calling a TSA agent a "pedophile faggot" is all that "Christian."

And since when do you strip down to your "panties" to go through security at an airport?

But apparently this sells on the Baptist circuit...?

Man has a total stranger's Facebook pic tattooed on his butt

Joey Jordan came across an ongoing art project called Selfless Portraits.

The project encourages strangers around the world to draw each other's Facebook profile pics.

In a moment of inspiration, Jordan decided to contribute to the project. However, he decided to up his stakes in the project.

Jordan decided to have a tattoo artist permanently draw a stranger's Facebook profile pic on his butt.

"Not only did I want to be a part of this movement that's happening, but I wanted to be an important part," Jordan inexplicably explains in a short NSFW video documenting the process of getting a completely random person's face etched forever on his ass-skin.

"Feeling connected, not only to your friends and your community, but to people on the other side of the world is something that is so important," he continues. "Once in a while I can catch a glimpse of my ass in the mirror, I'm gonna remember 'hey, there's Amarildo! Here's this thing I did."

Clearly, Joey has a "world-connectedness" thing going on here. BUT - doesn't it seem a little permanent to tattoo a stranger's face on your buttocks?

Thoughts?

Proper toilet posture - Things that make you go hmm...

Ok, this is a video about research done that shows squatting instead of sitting on a toilet is far better for doing our bathroom deeds.

Don't worry - the video isn't gross or icky. But gives you something to think about. I know many eastern cultures still utilize the "squat" method.

Take a look and see what you think.

From the YouTube description: Educational video about the effects of improper toilet posture and how it can affect your health. See more information about this subject at http://www.squattypotty.com

Sir Richard Branson's guide to getting lucky

So, after about :30 seconds of reminding you how fabulously wealthy and fabulously fabulous he is, Sir Richard Branson explains how - if you were as rich as he is - you can whoo that "special someone" you might meet on your travels.

Minus the fabulous funds, he explains the newly implemented "Seat-To-Seat Delivery" service on his airline Virgin America. You can order a drink via the control panel at your seat and send it to your "intended one."

Because hitting on people in an enclosed space where nobody can possibly leave if they're made to feel uncomfortable for several hours is obviously a really good idea...?

Commercial: Old Spice Watermelon

Ok, kind of an odd commercial for soap here. Goes one way, then it's not a soap commercial, then it is...

And does anyone really want a watermelon scented soap?

It does make me laugh in a "head scratching" kind of way.

Thoughts?

Nick Nolte on the red carpet for his new movie "Gangster Squad"

From The Hollywood Reporter: Nick Nolte showed up for the premiere of his new movie, Gangster Squad, having made the decision to attend wearing this odd choice of a yellow bath robe...?

Great actor, but for the premiere of his new movie, don't you think this just a bit "laid-back?"

Teaching yoga in public schools becomes a political issue

Wow. SRSLY? Yoga is somehow "teaching Hinduism?"

Perfect Beautiful Muscle Alpha Male

A friend posted this on Facebook and I found it fascinating in a weird way.

The guy in the video - who shot it and posted it on YouTube entitled "Perfect Beautiful Muscle Alpha Male" - has posted lots of short videos in praise of himself. He has titled some of the other selections "Gorgeous Muscle Stud Cam," "Extra Large Gorgeous Muscle" and "Muscle God Eats Steak."

He's a good looking guy. I just find it interesting that he makes these videos worshiping himself.
