Jim Flanigan Looks at the World
Turning the Mundane into Fundane Since 2015
Just what is it about guns that make people so addicted to owning them? After a months long undercover investigation, the Jim Flanigan Looks at the World Investigative Team has that answer. Continue reading “Addicted to Gun Love”
Now that the Olympics are over, I am thrilled to be back to watching real sports like Skateboard Pole Vaulting …
My wife sang an original song lyric that immediately stuck in my head. It wasn’t anything earth-shaking, but it sure was a catchy melody. I started singing it, over and over, looking for the next line to come to me. I’m always writing songs, most of which I never finish, but I do like to explore new song lyrics to see where they go.
My daughter and I were on the move and we hopped into the car. I continued singing. I don’t sing well, and I was struggling with finding the next line. I thought it would be cool to get my daughter involved. I asked my daughter what she thought the second line should be. She had the perfect answer.
Donald Trump has invited me for dinner. That’s right. I just got this email invitation …

We have decided to purchase a treadmill so I can get nowhere in my battle to lose weight not only figuratively, but also literally. I looked at a few in stores and online.

I ran across a meme similar to this one on social media …
No, I don’t agree, so I didn’t share. The logic used is riddled with holes like Swiss cheese. Gee, what a surprise, another example of failed logic embraced by NRA lovers. In previous posts, we have already explored the Fallacy of the Alternative Disjunct in a post on Syrian refugees. What’s that? You don’t recall the Fallacy of the Alternative Disjunct? I warned you that there may be a test later. I suppose we can review …
I really wish NBC would cover the Olympics better for the USA. Sure, we get plenty of opportunities to watch sports in which Americans compete for medals like Snowboard and Figure Skating. But I also want to see some of the other sports that are not as popular in the USA. For example, the Swiss dominate the Doubles Pallet Jack, and it’s kind of fun to watch their dominance.

It was foretold that I would win … and I did.
Her hair was long, dark and wild, sensually cascading over her shoulders like gravy down a mountain of mashed potatoes on Thanksgiving.
