Freedoms Tavern, Texas

Freedom2_bright.jpg

If you are in Texas and are a Christian Republican (I know, I know, that is redundant), you may want to eat at the Freedoms Tavern.

Freedoms Tavern is more than just a bar restaurant, it is a cause. The philosophy behind the cause is one of promoting capitalism and freedom through organization and information. Our primary focus, besides growing our business, is to win elections for POLITICIANS who promote our philosophy. We want as many people as possible in political power who share the same philosophy as we do. Keeping all of these different viewpoints in one party is not easy in a two party system. Thank goodness the democrats suck as much as they do. Even though they suck they still got 51 million people to vote for them in the last presidential election

If you search for it you may be able to find their menu on the site.

(Found on Metafilter where you should definitely check out some of the comments that were pretty funny.)

112 Gripes About The French

Published in Paris in 1945 by the ‘Information & Education Division’ of the US Occupation Forces. Here is a sample:

62. “They kiss right in the open – in the streets.”

This always startles Americans – at first.

Kissing on both cheeks is the traditional French greeting between old friends.

For their love-making, the French prefer privacy, if available – just as we do.

Savages!

The More Things Change,

The more they stay the same:

U.S. Encouraged by Vietnam Vote
Officials Cite 83% Turnout Despite Vietcong Terror


by Peter Grose, Special to the New York Times

WASHINGTON, Sept. 3– United States officials were surprised and heartened today at the size of turnout in South Vietnam’s presidential election despite a Vietcong terrorist campaign to disrupt the voting.

According to reports from Saigon, 83 per cent of the 5.85 million registered voters cast their ballots yesterday. Many of them risked reprisals threatened by the Vietcong.

Ref Ejects Himself From Game

I would love to see an umpire do this someday. Not gonna happen though:

A football referee was forced to abandon a game after showing himself the red card.

Andy Wain decided he had to go following a run-in with a goalkeeper in the Sunday League match.

The incident happened during a contest between Peterborough North End and Royal Mail AYL.

North End keeper Richard McGaffin was unhappy with a goal that put the opposition 2-1 up, inisting a player had been fouled.

But instead of giving McGaffin a ticking off, Wain lost his temper.

The ref hurled down his whistle, untucked his shirt and marched up to eyeball the player, before realising the error of his ways.

Venn Diagram of Things That Are Bad

Such as:

People who say “nucular”

People who drive corvettes

White guys who say “kick ass” and “Yo, [first initial]” to all their friends.

Celebrity Heads

JACKNICHOLSONLIST.jpg

Our hand painted, hand made, oversized one of a kind, wearable heads are an exact likeness to the Celebrity they were created to image. People do a double take when our “CELEBRITY HEADS” walk by. The likeness to the Celebrity they were created to image is almost unbelievable. The excitement begins as soon as the people recognize the Celebrity.

Yes, it is their “likeness” that makes people do a double take.

Gallery of Ouija Boards

Welcome to the heart and soul of the Museum of Talking Boards: our picture gallery of talking boards. Presented in no particular order are eighty-four talking boards and an assortment of planchettes produced during the years 1860 to 1999. Some of these boards were on the market for a fairly long time, a decade or more in some instances. Others survived for a brief period, sometimes a single production run. In any event, they have for the most part disappeared from the American scene, a few showing up on the antique market from time to time.
