Jeremy Bentham’s Head Fell Off

October 16, 2007July 2, 2008 / Anita Marie / 15 Comments

Jeremy Bentham was an interesting guy who advocated for things like equal rights for women and the abolition of slavery.

Jeremy Bentham also had written into his Will that his body be preserved, stored in a cabinet and brought out for special board meetings.

Then one day his head, which was not preserved well…fell off. So they made a wax one and stuck his real head between his feet ( see picture above) .

Jeremy Bentham’s Head

I’m sorry to say I couldn’t have made this stuff up.

God, I wish I had.

Jeremy Bentham (26 February [O.S. 15 February 15] 1748) – June 6, 1832) was an English jurist, philosopher, and legal and social reformer. He was a political radical and a leading theorist in Anglo-American philosophy of law. He is best known as an early advocate of utilitarianism and fair treatment of animals who influenced the development of liberalism.

Hi God,

Something Strange and Mysterious has happened

and I’m

chalking it up to your

Godly Powers.

Either that or you’re drinking again….

but we’ll get to that later.

Anyway, here’s the skinny:

Over the last few weeks Irregular Bones has gone from an

on-line

journal

where I write about my cats and my friends and family and head hunters and civil rights and

homeless people and what my bus rides to and from work are like

and my hero worship of Rod Serling and Bruce Campbell

NEWS SOURCE.

I kid you not.

So being that I’m trying to get on your good side

( well, at least on Sundays )

I’m prepared to answer your Call:

I have a half a pound of Pez on hand at all times

an endless supply of Jolt cola

a weird sense of humor

and Google at my finger tips.

I am SO going to have fun with this.

Thanks for the Call God,

it’s a good one.

Oh and between me and you

I don’t care what anyone says

YOU ARE FUNNY.

See Ya Next Sunday….

ahhhhmennnnn.

Direct Flights from Strange and Unusual To Mainstream…

October 12, 2007October 12, 2007 / Anita Marie / 5 Comments

I hate it when stuff goes mainstream-

Today I went to a ” weird news stories ” site and they have this column where weird stories are happening so often that they’re no longer considered strange OR unusual…

so another one bites the dust-

DARN!

The category of stories of people keeping deceased relatives’ bodies around, based either on fear of losing the relationships or a psychotic belief that the deceased will regenerate (or sometimes, to conceal the death so that government checks keep coming), has been retired.

A funeral parlor in London told The Times in September that it was finally time to bury Annie Lamas, who died 10 years ago but whose body has been kept in the parlor’s cold storage unit by her two adult daughters, who visit almost weekly to chat with her and touch her up. Elder daughter Josephine, 59, was said to make sure Mom’s lipstick is fresh (on a body that has wasted to the point of leathery skin stretched over bones) and place fresh padding on Mom’s stomach cavity.

Guess What This Is?

October 11, 2007 / Anita Marie / 5 Comments

WRONG!

It’s a CAKE!

It’s Kitty Litter Cake and I got the Recipe and Picture from

Spooky Times

So give it a try….it’s YUMMY.

Ingredients:

1 German chocolate cake mix
1 white cake mix
1 large pkg vanilla instant pudding mix
1 pkg vanilla sandwich cookies
Green food coloring
12 small Tootsie Rolls
1 NEW kitty litter pan
1 NEW plastic kitty litter pan liner
1 NEW Pooper Scooper

Directions:

Prepare cake mixes and bake according to directions (any size pans). Prepare pudding mix and chill until ready to assemble. Crumble white sandwich cookies in small batches in food processor, scraping often. Set aside all but about 1/4 cup. To the 1/4 cup cookie crumbs, add a few drops green food coloring and mix using 5. When cakes are cooled to room temperature, crumble into a large bowl. Toss with half the remaining white cookie crumbs and the chilled pudding. (Mix in just enough of the pudding to moisten it. You don’t want it soggy. Combine gently).

Line new, clean kitty litter box. Put mixture into litter box. Put three unwrapped Tootsie rolls in a microwave safe dish and heat until soft and pliable. Shape ends so they are no longer blunt, curving slightly. Repeat with 3 more Tootsie rolls and bury in mixture. Sprinkle the other half of cookie crumbs over top.

Scatter the green cookie crumbs lightly over the top. (This is supposed to look like the chlorophyll in kitty litter.) Heat 3 Tootsie Rolls in the microwave until almost melted. Scrape them on top of the cake; sprinkle with cookie crumbs. Spread remaining Tootsie Rolls over the top; take one and heat until pliable, hang it over the side of the kitty litter box, sprinkling it lightly with cookie crumbs. Place the box on a newspaper and sprinkle a few of the cookie crumbs around.

Boo God!

Where have I been?

Funny One God.

Let’s Get to it, shall we?

So God, I was surfing the net for Halloween stuff and I kept running across these stories about Christians wanting to ” take Halloween back ” or asking if they should celebrate it at all.”

Here’s the short answer.

No.

Okay God?

Just in case that’s not clear enough here’s the long answer:

No! No! No!

I don’t go into church and make everybody in there read Stephen King and I don’t make the Congregation dress up like zombies or ghouls for Sunday Services and I happen to think that some of those Church songs are nice so I would never make them sing those ” Haunted Favorites ” with the sound effects in the background ( let’s face it though, I bet more people would go if ….never mind ) Okay…so tell them alright? I mean, don’t they have to listen to you? Isn’t that in the ~~rule book~~ Bible somewhere?

Yeah…I thought so.

Now the second thing I want to chat about are these Wonker Heads that sent me hate mail just because I believe in Human Rights.

I know they’re your children God and you love them- probably in the same way I loved that Cyclops Kitten. It was so deformed and helpless and must have been so afraid that you just couldn’t not care about it.

But Christ, could you make sure they use spell check? Like if one of these er, individuals, take the time to write me a letter and threaten me the very least you could make them do is run spell check so that the fake name those Chuckle-Heads use is spelled right.

Yeah, okay it is funny but still.

And forgive me God because in the spirit of Halloween I told someone an Urban Legend was a true story even though I knew it wasn’t.

Which one?

It was the one about the woman who goes to Mexico and after she gets back this boil on her face pops open and hundreds of baby spiders crawl out.

Hey, don’t get all Godly on me, the person I messed lost her last brain cell to bleach about 30 years ago and she always calls me ” Sen-your-eada “

She knows I don’t like her, so why she asked me about this one is weird. I’m guessing it’s because ” Sen-your-eada Ahneeeedah ” ( as she likes to call me) looks like one of them ” Mexican People ” and she probably thinks I’d know all about Mexican Infestations “

Hear My Prayer Lord….please have her ask me another….please?

And see you here next Sunday…got that…here…

Oh almost forgot….

aaaaahhhhmennn.

The 2007 SUX Award Goes To….

October 4, 2007January 3, 2010 / Anita Marie / 2 Comments

The producers of ‘Desperate Housewives’ and ABC Studios

Come on down you little racists you and accept your award on behalf of members of the Hitler Youth everywhere.

The I.B Award Winning episode showed actress Teri Hatcher, who plays Susan Mayer, asking during a medical consultation to check “those diplomas because I want to make sure that they’re not from some med school in the Philippines.”

By taking a stand and declaring that Medical Workers from the Philippines are inferior, – your voice- which resonates in homes all across the United States, will insure that Americans will be safe from the hands of individuals who come to our country and provide important services to our

sick

our poor

our tired

and our huddled masses.

Good Job

and we know you probably have a rally to attend in a field somewhere so grab your white hoods at the door and keep up the SUX work that you do so well

It’s A Pacific Northwest Thing

Food and Politics

It’s “safe” to talk about those two things together…

It might make you fat

but your Soul won’t be

threatened

Cool.

my friend Al sent this to me…

“Over here in the blue states… it’s chicken…

not good old fashioned tasty fried chicken… oh heck no… we’re talking about some free range granola eating no artificial anything chickens…

thing of it is, we’re only allowed to eat skinless chicken breasts out here in the PNW.

Don’t know what they do with the rest of the chicken, but I’ve never seen it make it’s way to a dinner plate. But good news is it’s only on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday… Friday is Fish…”

and that my friends is another story…
