Tamra Eason and Linda Falls of Springfield Mo. are facing serious health risks, including the possibility of HIV/AIDS or hepatitis, after getting tattoo’s from a door-to-door salesman using a homemade gun. Linda Falls got so sick afterward she had to be hospitalized. Both women recognized the gun was homemade (and the man obviously not a licensed tattoo artist,) yet got the tattoo’s anyway.

“It was wrapped with black tape, had a pin underneath it, had fishing wire going through it, you could tell it was a homemade gun,” Eason said.

“Beware of deals in parachutes, brain surgery and tattoos,” said Miller Cotton, a tattoo parlor owner.

Truer words were never spoken.

“We just wanted tattoos, and now we’re paying for it,” Eason said.

Ok, those words are pretty true also. Tamra and Linda, we salute you. You’re now the front-runners for Moron(s) of the Year. Good luck!

McDonald’s Employee: “May I help you?”
Me: “Sure, I’ll have a Chicken Caesar Salad.”
McD’s: “Grilled or crispy?”
Me: “Grilled.”
McD’s: “Ok, what kind of dressing do you want?”
Me: (a little taken aback by the question) “…Caesar. It’s a Caesar Salad.”
McD’s: “Yeah, I got that. One Caesar Salad, grilled. But what kind of dressing?”
Me: “Ummmm…It’s called a Caesar Salad because it has Caesar dressing. The dressing is what makes it a Caesar.”
McD’s: (confused…turns to ask a manager) “What comes with teh Caesar Salad again?”
Manager: “The Caesar Salad comes with the salad, dressing, and croutons. Was there something else you wanted?”
Me: “No. That’s all. I just want to pay.”
McD’s: “Are you sure they don’t get a choice of dressing?”
Manager: “Yes, I’m sure. It’s a Caesar Salad.”

The entire event made me a bit sad. Anyway, I’d like to welcome the McDonald’s employee to my website. She earned it.

Rob is President and Principal Analyst of the Enderle Group, a forward looking emerging technology advisory firm, and one of the most recognized commentators on tech. Before founding the Enderle Group, Rob held leading positions with Forrester Research and the Giga Information Group.

That’s one of the funniest (in a bad way) bio’s I’ve read in a long time. “Forward looking?” Enderle has been more consistently wrong, by a wide margin, than any other tech commentator on the planet. What he’s “recognized” for is his utter lack of knowledge, inability to fact-check, and ridiculous statements that have earned him a lifetime “Jackass” award. John Gruber over at Daring Fireball (arbiter of the “Jackass of the Week” award) has been following Enderle’s misadventures for many years. You can read through his many articles taking Enderle to task. On to the latest and greatest from The Rob.

What’s next? Is the RIAA going to go after everyone who’s ever copied their vinyl LP’s onto cassette tape so they could play them in a walkman or in their car?

Now, Miss Upton was given a chance to defend herself on the TODAY Show with Matt Lauer. She said she was overwhelmed at being on TV, didn’t really hear the question, and just totally froze. It’s understandable. Miss Upton is, in fact, an honor student. So, while most of the posts on this site in the days and weeks to come will highlight the truly stupid and moronic, the inspiration for this site is not actually stupid, and we’re just making fun of the moment she froze on national television.

Besides, Upton is allowed a pass thanks to pics like these: Caitlin Upton Swimsuit Modeling Shot, Another Caitlin Upton Photo
