Explaining Global Warming to Children, 1

No, son. That’s not snow covering our back patio this morning.  God just spilled a little of his blow, is all.

    Happy Easter, y’all.  I’m going to do some shopping, lift weights, watch some golf/baseball, then head over to our neighbors’ house for Easter dinner.

    Sadly, I was over there last night and got a bit drunk.  So I should probably go pick up some flowers or something by way of apologizing for gettiing confused and urinating in the dishwasher.

    Posted this very late in a similar thread the other day . Scroll up for the photo-shop , read the article , then check out yoops 11:52 comment for a laugh . Happy Easter all .

  3. So I should probably go pick up some flowers or something by way of apologizing for gettiing confused and urinating in the dishwasher.

    I believe etiquette only requires an apology if the dishes were clean.

  4. Just Passing Through says:

    Better than washing dishes in the urinal.

    You are a bad ifluence, Jeff. Your kid will likely turn out to be a social conservative if you keep this up. Just saying……

  6. jon says:

    Peeing in the dishwasher isn’t necessarily a good thing, but pooping in the detergent dispenser requires a delivery truck from Sears to make amends.

    Be careful out there, Goldstein.  They’re keeping an eye on you.

    Talk about TMI!

    I was all ready to make a post about how I learn so much useful stuff at PW.  Like not peeing in the dishwasher.  I was going to say “I bet if you google “peeing in the dishwasher” you would get nothing, proving Jeff is ahead of his time again”.  But, just to make sure I was on solid ground, I googled “peeing in dishwasher”.  Wish I hadn’t.  Never, never realized just what a big problem this is!  Mostly with pets.  But drunk friends/boyfriends/etc./etc.  seem to do it pretty regularly.  And not just drunks.  Sleepwalkers seem to really like to do it too!

    So what did I learn today?  Put a padlock on my dishwasher before inviting anyone I’m not totally sure of into my house!

    Global warming sucks.

    Right now it’s causing me to dress warmly and watch my azalea blossoms die. Not a single bikini in sight either.

  9. Robert says:

    What do you want?

    Global Warming

    When do you want it?

    NOW!

  10. Brian says:

    Yeah, it’s been below freezing every night here, and it’s forecast to continue that way for at least another week.  In other words, we’re 10-20 degrees below average.

  11. Darleen says:

    No no, Brian, you’re not listening to al-Gore, His Exaultedness, correctly

    Unseasonably hot? Global Warming, the models predicted it

    Unseasonably cold? Global Warming, the models predicted it

    Rainfall above normal? Global Warming, the models predicted it

    Rainfall below normal? Global Warming, the models predicted it

    Tornados? Hurricanes? Bunions? Teenage deliquency?

    Global Warming, the models predicted it

    And, oh, btw…if you disagree then you must be shutup at all costs.

    What other religion does this sound like, hmmm?

    Just explain you were trying to rinse the soap powder off the chihuahua you threw in there by mistake; they’ll understand.  They are, after all, your neighbors.

  13. Dan Collins says:

    Jeff, it’s not your fault.  When people use those tablets in their dishwashers, they look just like urinal cakes.

  14. serr8d says:

    Nashville broke a record, this morning, for Easter Coldness. I heard Al Gore stayed in bed, as an offset for his embarassment…

  15. God’s blow?  Don’t say that within my kids’ hearing!  I’ve been telling them it’s Gaia’s dandruff.

  16. Jeff Goldstein says:

    I should think God would be able to cure his/her/its own dandruff, SI.

    Not to mention get his hands on primo Coke.

    My kid would have seen right through me had I tried to pass off that flaky scalp thing…

  17. bains says:

    Raining here in Steamboat… too bad cuz it makes it harder to avoid talking heads performing verbal fellatio on the worlds greatest golfer.

  18. TonyGuitar says:

    The clarity of global warming AlGoreWarm avoids talking about.

    Involves Chevron, [Cobasys google], GM and government.

    Only 4 paragraphs, but it will change you.

    If Yahweh’s Galactic Bindle isn’t the name of a rock band, it should be.

  20. Dan Collins says:

    Speaking of rock bands, and as much as I like Mark Steyn, Scott at Power Line gets it wrong attributing the “coinage” “Britannia, Waive the Rules” to him: the Buzzcocks had a 1982 EP entitled “Britannia Waives the Rules.”

  21. gahrie says:

    You guys need to cut God some slack…because if there was one day a year he was entitled to get a little blasted…today would be it….

  22. bains says:

    What?  A Christinist won the Masters?  On Easter?  I’d hate to be Sully’s lover tonight.

  23. CraigC says:

    After Tiger put that shot in the trap and said, “What the hell happened?”, I said to the wife, “Oh, Christ, there’s the tagline for every hack sportswriter in the country tomorrow.” Google it.

  24. Sean M. says:

    I guess running the heater all day causes global warming.

    You’re doing a terrible job. How do you explain evolution? “teach the controversy”?

  26. OHNOES says:

    Not to undercut God here(I’m already on thin ice with the Man Upstairs as it is.), but no chemical created by man or beast has yet been able to cure my dandruff… so I’m just saying… anything is possible.

    He does work in mysterious ways after all…

  27. klrfz1 says:

    “urinating in the dishwasher”? No wonder its a job Americans just won’t do.

  28. Jeff Goldstein says:

    You think marc is serious?

    Guess I need to answer him, then.

  29. I should think God would be able to cure his/her/its own dandruff, SI.

    Well, there’s something else to blame on global warming, then: Itchy, flaky Godheads.

  30. marc, if it’ll help restore your faith in humanity, some of us are Christian conservatives, and yet not creationists.

  31. marc says:

    “marc, if it’ll help restore your faith in humanity, some of us are Christian conservatives, and yet not creationists.”

    My point was kind of counting on the fact that you lot weren’t so dumb as to be the “teach the controversy jury is still out” types on evolution.

  32. Slartibartfast says:

    Nice of you to be so charitable, marc.  But please do take a bit of time to explain what your point was, actually, for the less quick of us.

  33. DanG says:

    ”…Buzzcocks had a 1982 EP entitled “Britannia Waives the Rules.”

    Actually, I recall that line being in “A Hard Day’s Night” as well. That would take it back to 1964. Still, it’s hard to think of a more appropriate use for it than Steyn’s.

    The following could improve your life and lungs, clear cities of smog, and defeat Acmahdinejad.

    Three facts – The EV wave has started

    [1] General Motors were shocked that their trial electric car of 1993, the EV1, was a wild and addictive public success. Indicating the death of the ICE engine. So much so, that they gathered every last EV1 and crushed them in a secure GM compound. [Rent the video, *Who Killed the Electric Car*.]

    [2] Chevron / absorbed Texaco and gained control of patents for the large format NiMH battery. The ideal BATTERY FOR AUTO-MOTION. For nay, they have no wish to keep us dependent upon products of their 8 to 12 Billion$ refineries and their giant distribution networks.

    [3] Suspect ye not the governments, who, [at the moment], have no idea how to bring in tractor trailer loads of money on the 8 to 16 cents of charge required by EVs that can plug in anywhere anytime.

    The Electric Vehicle wave has started and is well under way.  The range of the GM *93 EV-1 was 130 miles.  Today, a range between charges of 250 miles is reasonable, however smaller NEVs [neighbourhood electric vehicles], of a 40 mile range are popular and sell for only 12 to 14k.

    Freedom from the grip of volatile gas, [remember the *70s empty gas pumps?], makes the EV a life-saver that pays for itself.  A solar panel roof can provide an extended range. = TG

    PS:  God would approve.
