"What I Found In My Email" Mondays. Vol.2 - Issue 28

Welcome to another, and long over due, edition of "What I found in my email Monday's." I know what your thinking - it's Tuesday. I know, I know but I really meant to post this yesterday.

I once heard a gender based driving assessment from an insurance agent. He said there are distinct differences in the types of claims between men and women. It seems that when men get into a wreck, they really GET INTO A WRECK. Meaning that men will destroy their car in one single catastrophic event. Women on the other hand will destroy their car one little piece at a time. A ding here, a dent there, knocking off a mirror, dragging along the side of the garage whilst backing out.

However the gentleman that perpetrated the caper featured below, falls into a completely different category. What category you ask? I don't know yet, but I am formulating it as we continue.

Here's the story:

An elementary school teacher ran over a mattress that had flipped out of a truck. Thankful that he didn't get into a wreck, he decided to keep going. Little was he aware that he had picked up a hitch hiker. As it turns out the coils from the mattress got tangled up and wrapped themselves around the drive shaft. The ensuing jumble finally whipped around enough to put a tear in the gas tank, the subsequent lack of fuel is what finally brought this vehicle to its knees.

He still managed to drive 30 more miles decently with a 60lb tangle wrapped around the drive shaft.

This genius complained that the vehicle had a "shimmy" when driving at high speeds.

This is what the dealership found

And you didn't notice anything?

Seriously - 30 miles and you didn't sense something was wrong?

The identities of the individuals involved have been altered to protect the innocent

Have a great Christmas and a happy New Year everyone!

"What I Found In My Email" Mondays. Vol.2 - Issue 27

How many of you felt persecuted as a kid. Everyone was out to get you, the man was keeping you down and parents just didn't understand.

Well, here's a youngster that shares your sentiments exactly.

The meanest mom in the world.  I say good for her!

AND here's a mom that needs to be applauded. This ad from the DesMoines Register is almost as good as the ad I once saw in a local swap sheet wanting a "flux capacitor" for a 1981 DeLorean. Seriously, it was in there but I never saved it and I am kicking myself.

Welcome to the week Big Bald Bloggers.

As it turns out you DO need to be able to read your wife's mind.

"What I Found In My Email" Mondays. Vol.2 - Issue 25

Normally when farmers are hauling livestock you typically see a tractor-trailer semi truck or something. Not in Kansas.

Their preferred cattle hauler is the durable and appropriately designed Pontiac Grand Am.

Haulin a lot of bull

Haulin a lot of bull 2

Haulin a lot of bull 3

Haulin a lot of bull 4

Haulin a lot of bull 5

Haulin a lot of bull 6

Haulin a lot of bull 6

That's a lot of bull if you ask me. You might want to think twice before taking a right turn too fast.

"What I Found In My Email" Mondays. Vol.2 - Issue 24

For those of you just joining the fun, for a while now I have been doing this series of posts on Monday's. Mainly because I am usually buried on Monday's and secondly I am lazy and they are quick to put up. The rule is that I look in my inbox for something special or funny and put it up.

I do have to confess, this email was sent to me a couple of Mondays ago but it was so good that I decided to save it for today.

Because the Olympics were in China this year, they have gone to great lengths to accommodate all the English speaking tourists.

Don't touch yourself
What exactly do you want me to do?

What the heck are we eating?
See I told you!

Do I really want some of this coffee?
What every you do, don't order the Chocolate Star Latte.

Not sure I want to shop there.
They have the record on security cameras and mirrors.

I knew vegetables felt pain. So much for PETA.
I was told that being a vegetarian was better. Darn you PETA.

Is someone robbing something?
A very hip robber?

Whatever you do, you can NOT die here.
I'm sorry sir, you are going to have to die somewhere else.

So that's where the Ho's have to go in?
Ahhhh, so that's where they go in.

WOW, bottled water - in a can
Wow! Bottle water - Now in a can.

You might want to wash your hands after this
Uhhh, OK. I feel like I need to wash my hands now.

You gotta love the differences between English and Chinese. As you can see from the tags on the pictures, these images come from engrish.com. There are many more pictures where these came from.

Welcome to the week!

Hello my friends and welcome to another week. In this edition of "what I found in my email" we have a few pictures that came with the title: "Seconds before the pain sets in."

Look out for the Bull

Loosing control on your bike

Obviously a major malfunction

Mess with the bull, you get the horn.  Right?

Jason, thought you might like this one.
Jaw crushing

Hang on, this is going to hurt

On that note, I wish you happy week.

I really don't know what to say.

This one was called "tanktop." Look close.

The best tank top. Ever.

Now I ask you... Who sits and looks at a pair of men's briefs and says hmmmm...I can make a nice summer top from these!! On the other hand...$6 for a three pack is a good price!!

With that I wish you a happy Monday

So you think you're an equipment operator. I beg to differ. This guy has one up on most heavy equipment operators that I know.

Tractor on top

begin the process of getting down

careful

very careful

almost there

stay on target

Ladies and gentlemen can we get a round of applause

Even though I'm sure there is an OSHA violation in there somewhere, you have to admit it is pretty impressive.

Happy Monday

"What I Found In My Email" Mondays. Vol.2 - Issue 20

Happy Monday! I know I missed a couple of these but I am back on track now that the flood waters have receded. Remember, the WIFIMEM posts are not verified or confirmed in anyway. I just post 'em as I get 'em.

Here's the story as I received it.

It happened in Shishmaref, AK. Shishmaref is in the Nome-region of Alaska, up north, on the west coast.

A photographer was attempting to take some pictures of a polar bear when a game of "Alaskan Tag" ensued. I guarantee you don't want to be it! If you ever feel like you're getting the run-a-round, just remember this guy.

Polar bear chasing a guy around the truck

I don't know why the guy didn't just get in the truck! Maybe he didn't have time. Obviously he ran to another vehicle. If you will notice the truck in the first 2 pictures is different than the last 4. The first truck and the photographers tripod are to the left of the 2nd vehicle.

I'll have to admit, the 4th picture is my favorite. I think the bear was playing with the guy but that doesn't explain why the person taking the pictures didn't help out. He just kept snapping pictures. Thanks a lot buddy!

Even though this wasn't a very big bear, I can honestly say that I never want to be in this situation with a polar bear. Polar bears are VERY dangerous critters.

Have a great week everyone!

"What I Found In My Email" Mondays. Vol.2 - Issue 19

Welcome to another Monday and the next installment of the continuing saga that is... "what I found in my email" Mondays.

In the past a few have heckled me about the accuracy of the WIFIMEM posts. Remember I do not investigate for accuracy Nor claim that these posts are true. I simply get 'em and I post 'em.

And here we are with today's little gem.

The story is titled "Men's Restroom Mural" and goes like this:

"Edge Designs is an all-women run company
That designs interior office space. They had a
Recent opportunity to do an office project in
NYC.

The client allowed the women of this
Company a free hand in all design aspects.
The client was a company that was also
Run by all women execs.

The result.........well.....We all know that
Men never talk, never look at each other....
And never laugh much in the restroom....
The men's room is a serious and quiet place...
But now...with the addition of one mural
On the wall......lets just say the men's
Restroom is a place of laughter and smiles."

Men's Restroom Mural - Women in front of the urinals

Simply brilliant! That's all I have to say about it.

Have a great week everyone!

I know this one has been around for along time. Actually it has been making the internet rounds since 2004.

Granted it's an oldie but definitely a goodie. In fact, the scan of the picture garnered so much attention that, Roanoke Times columnist Joe Kenedy, wrote an article about it. Now for your viewing pleasure, I give you Mellisa Williamson.



The moral of the story? If you are going to complain about the jackhammers and the effect they will have on your unborn baby, you better do it without smoking a cigarette.

Have a good week everyone.

I know it's a little late but here are the goods for this edition of "what I found in my email" Monday.

This picture came in my email today with the subject - "Siamese Twin Northern Pike." Now I don't know if this has been "photoshopped" or not but my money is on the fact that is HAS been altered.



Has anyone see this before or know the story about it? If this is for real, someone needs to check the plutonium levels in the lake this fish was caught in.

Have a great week everyone!

"What I Found In My Email" Mondays. Vol.2 - Issue 16

Yep, it's that time again. Time for another edition of "What I found in my email" Monday.

I got this email earlier today and you could probably call it "Why Women Live Longer - Part 2."

A while back I posted some pictures that I received about men doing stupid things. Both in today's post and in this one, we can probably add the topic of on-the-job safety to the conversation. Today I got a whole new batch of images from my sister-in-law pertaining to these very topics. In the email, she said that she could see her husband (my brother-in-law) in every one of these.


I don't even know what to say.


Simply AWESOME! A hay bale scaffolding, complete with stabilizing boards.


How did he get up there?


Must not have had that far to go.


What's safer? Rocks or posts?


"I'll be fine, I can see through the little holes."


"You'll be fine Jimmy. Them there are treated logs."


All anyone ever needs is a little help from your friends.


What's with the buckets?


YES, Stack 2 ladders! Great Idea.

So there you have it. More great moments in man history, captured on film to be remembered in perpetuity. Have a great week everyone!

"What I Found In My Email" Mondays. Vol.2 - Issue 15

Better late than never right? Quite a few of you were wondering what was going on. Nothing tragic I assure you, I've just been swamped. Thanks for your notes of concern and comments of care, especially you Brenda!

I know it is a day late and this is the second week in a row that the "What I found in my email" Monday post is getting put up on Tuesday. I think I'm back on track now.

Without further delay, I give you "BAD LOGOS."

Now, most of these I have see before and have been around the net a LOT. However since one of my most popular posts of all time is an article that I wrote about bad logos, this will fit right in.
Some of these may be intentional (like these designers) but in my "happy place" I like to think that the artists were completely clueless when it comes to the examples shown below.











Here's a question for you. Could it be possible that there is nothing wrong with any of these? Is it our dirty minds? I saw a picture once where it looked like bunch of people having sex. But once you read the text, it said that it was a picture of dolphins according to any child that looks at it. Evidently, the children are uncorrupted and can not see the sexual images. For the life of me, I couldn't find the picture anywhere.

I guess it is a question of perspective.

Thanks again for being a part of The Big Bald Blog! Have a great week everyone!

"What I Found In My Email" Mondays. Vol.2 - Issue 14

Yep, it's another edition of "what I found in my email" Monday... uhhh on Tuesday. Hey, I was trapped in a special pre-tax day blizzard so gimme a break!

In keeping with tradition, I really did receive this on Monday and here's the story.

In an email entitled, "Computer Problems", we read about a person who is having a tiny issue with her PC.

"Technical support, how can I help you'?

LADY: "Last night my computer started making a lot of hissing noises at me so I shut it down.This morning when I turned it on the computer started hissing and cracking, then started smoking and a bad smell, then nothing."

SUPPORT: "I will have a technician come over first thing this morning, and leave the computer just like it is, so they can find the problem and fix it, or change it out with another computer. Give me your address; phone number and the technician will be there just as soon as he can."

When the technician got there, the lady showed the technician where the computer was and asked what happened to it. This is what the technician found wrong.











The technician told her: "It must have been after the mouse!" The woman didn't think it was very funny at all!

Have a good rest of the week!

Yawn! Yep, it's another Monday. The good thing is that it's time for another edition of, "What I Found in my Email" Monday.

This one comes to me from a family member who got back from Iraq not too long ago.

The email was entitled "What to wear when your wife has chores for you."

Camouflage soldier on couch

It may not work real well in the desert but it appears to blend perfectly on the couch. Just put some camo on the remote and I should be good to go.

Welcome to the week!

"What I Found In My Email" Mondays. Vol.2 - Issue 12

Here we are with another Monday and yet another edition of "what I found in my email" Monday. Why? Because you keep sending them. You send 'em and I put 'em up. That's how it works.

Being an outdoorsman, I have been a part of a lot of some really awesome hunting, camping and fishing expeditions. I have also seen a lot of amazing hunting and fishing pictures but the pictures shown below fall into the "holy freakin' crap" category.

Here's the story that came along with the email:

"This is the new record in Canada. He caught it on Rainy Lake. Check this thing out.. The last picture is unbelievable! This guy (in the photos below), was fishing and caught a 36" Pike.
As he was reeling it in, a 56" Pike tried to eat it!!!!! He brought them both in on the same net.
Awesome catch on a river in Canada - 55lbs - 56 inches."

Without further adieu - I give you "The Beast."







I don't even know what to say. My only comment is that I don't know how to tell the difference between a Northern and an Muskie. Can anyone confirm that this is indeed a Northern Pike?

Have a great week everyone!

"What I Found In My Email" Mondays. Vol.2 - Issue 11

We're back and we're bigger and better than ever. Welcome to the latest edition of "what I found in my email" Mondays.

In this exciting episode we find a Missouri commuter getting the surprise of his life.

The story: A guy in St. Louis was driving to work on Hwy 144 when he heard a 'pop'! He thought it sounded like a flat tire, though his ride wasn't affected. After pulling over, checking the tires and finding them intact , he opened the hood to look at the motor. Before the hood was even all the way open he jumped back in shock and knocked his head on the partially opened hood, unable to believe what his eyes were seeing!











This has to be right up there at the top of the list of unusual but verified 'Reasons why I was late for work'!

You always seem to find the strangest things under your car's hood. Have a great week everyone!

"What I Found In My Email" Mondays. Vol.2 - Issue 10

Happy Monday everyone. Just got back from the wonderful state of Wisconsin. I know, I know, I didn't post anything for 3 days straight. But I'm back and in full swing.

So, without further delay here is the next edition of "what I found in my email" Mondays.

I actually got this last Monday and decided to hang on to it, so technically it counts as a Monday find. I am glad I did, because no one sent me anything interesting today.



As it turns out this is a real bike and is owned by Smoky McGill. This info is a little dated coming from a 2004 article, BUT the Anaconda has it's own website. Evidently the front motor is just for show, the back motor is the one that is doing all the work. The most impressive thing to me is the engineering. There's not a lot of width there to support that long of a span. 10 people can get pretty heavy, even if they aren't Big Pappa type peeps.

So if you and 9 of your friends want to go for a motorcycle limo ride, this is exactly what you need.

Have a great week everyone!

And here is the happy trailer trash family!

"What I Found In My Email" Mondays. Vol.2 - Issue 8

Sometimes woman simply asks why? A man's response; "I don't know" or "just because." Either way it's a problem with genetics. I can categorically guarantee that that a woman would NEVER put chrome wheels on a lawn tractor, attempt to determine the distance that WD-40 will shoot while on fire or perpetrate the sort of caper enacted by the brain trust gathered in the following picture.

I don't know how to caption this picture. All I know is that this is THE most ridiculous thing that I have seen in a long time. But hey, we are men and we know stuff about tanks. Our actions need no explanation.



The circuit breaker on the power strip should protect them right?

The following pictures were NOT found in my email. They are some of my favorites from around the web and I am sure you have seen them before but I thought that they were applicable to the topic at hand.

The first 3 pictures deal with the proper use of ladders.








Don't have a ladder? Lift a forklift with another forklift. I think the guy in the brown shirt is an OSHA consultant.




This is my favorite one.

"What I Found In My Email" Mondays. Vol.2 - Issue 6

Ever since I started this section section on the blog, I have had a massive influx of funny/interesting things come across my desk. More than I normally get anyway. That brings us to the task at hand. The reporting of "what I found in my email" on Monday.

This week I have a couple of things, one is a joke about Dear Abby and the other has the pretty pictures that you all like. You know you do.

-------------------------------------------

Dear Abby,

My husband is a liar and a cheat. He has cheated on me from the beginning,
and, when I confront him, he denies everything. What's worse, everyone
knows that he cheats on me. It is so humiliating.

Also, since he lost his job eight years ago, he hasn't even looked for a new one. All he does all day is smoke cigars, cruise around and B.S. with his buddies while I have to work to pay the bills. Since our daughter went away to college he doesn't even pretend to like me and hints that I may be a lesbian. What should I do?

Signed: Clueless

------------------------------------------------

Dear Clueless,

Grow up and dump him. Good grief, woman - you don't need him anymore!
You're a United States Senator from New York running for President of the
United States. Act like one.


This next exhibit is a is a set of pictures that I got from an OSHA compliance person that I know. Evidently this is why we can get things done cheaper in China. They don't need the frivolous things like expensive safety equipment. After all, WE did it for years during the early 1900's without having the meddling government dictate what is safe and what is not safe :)

The Chinese construction hardhat.


The Chinese dust and particle free breathing apparatus.


The OSHA approved scaffolding (3Menandaplank Brand)


The Chinese lightweight welders mask.


With all the censorship and human rights issues going on over in China, this make me even more thankful that I live in the country that I do. Speaking of a great country, Brian G. Dennard, the man himself graced us with his presence and commented on the Berkley post. Go check it out.

Have a great week everyone!

"What I Found In My Email" Mondays. Vol.2 - Issue 5

Here we are again after a long week and weekend of battling snow and ice. But there is hope. Hope that many find in the comforts of "what I found in my email" Monday's.

Several years ago, I lost my family event "cake getting" duties. You see, when I was charged with the duty (yes I said duty) of getting a cake for some family function or get together, I would go to the local bakery or grocery store and just pick up the first thing I would see. I wouldn't even read it. Sometimes I would grab a Batman cake for my Dad's 60th birthday party. Or a bar mitzvah cake for an anniversary. HOWEVER, I have never perpetrated a caper quite like the one shown on cake shown below.



I don't blame the recipient for this, rather the non-enrish speaking employee of the bakery is probably at fault.

Here is how I think this went down:

Walmart Employee: Hello 'dis Walmarts, how can I hepp you?'

Customer: 'I would like to order a cake for a going away party this week.'

Walmart Employee: 'What you wan on cak?'

Customer: 'Best Wishes Suzanne' and underneath that 'We will miss you'.

Happy Monday everyone.

"What I Found In My Email" Mondays. Vol.2 - Issue 4

Here we are in our post Super Bowl haze - woops, I almost forgot you can't use that. You have to say "Big Game". I am probably going to get sued now. Anyway, what did everyone think of the commercials. Thumbs down for me. This year, I thought that the game was better than the commercials. Normally, it's the other way around. Actually, the game was one of the biggest upsets since the 70's I believe. As far as commercials go, I still haven't seen anything that will top the Terry Tate Office Linebacker commercials from several years back.

But here we are, trudging ahead trying to make sense of the world around us. But wait! All hope is not lost. It's MONDAY, and you know what that means. That's right, it's time for another edition of "what I found in my email" Mondays.

After having watched this, I almost want to say the famous line from Caddyshack..."cannonbaaallll, cannon ball comin..."

For those of you who have grown up with the "sprinkling" type baptisms this may not be as funny. And for those of you who do the dunk, this is really funny.

"What I Found In My Email" Mondays. Vol.2 - Issue 4

Well here we are again. Another sublime experience that we are calling "what I found in my email" Mondays.

Here is a series of pictures that are simply incredible. Apparently, the Chinese don't have many beaches. Either that or there is just a LOT of people that are going to this one beach. Regardless of the situation, I don't think any of us can complain about the beach being crowded again.





















And here's the capper! Look at all those people. Literally as far as the eye can see. I am pretty sure this isn't Photoshopped.



So there you have it. The next time someone sits too close to you on the beach, be thankful that you are not in China. First it was Chinese censorship and now, crowded beaches. Aren't you glad you live in the good ol' US of A?

Have a great week everyone.

"What I Found In My Email" Mondays. Vol.2 - Issue 3

Welcome to another edition of "what I found in my email"Monday. Today we are celebrating the art of being a man. A complex process which takes years of frivolous spending and unnecessary modification to seemingly ordinary products converting them into something extraordinary.

Take a look at the first picture below. See that little temperature guage? Know what its for? It's not what you think it is for.







Pictured below is the result of time well spent. Some may ask why? Others will respond with, "AWESOME!" Either way this is an innovative and stupendous exhibit of why we call ourselves man. The glory of this device will render future generations speechless and contribute to an overwhelming sense of awe by those who witness it's glory.






Yes ladies and gentlemen it's a grill. But no ordinary grill. A grill by which all others are judged.

Now the only thing you need is an insert for your trailer hitch so you can take it to the races and tailgate.

Kudos to the fabricator on a job well done.

What say you?

On a side note feel free to shoot me an email with non-copyrighted and interesting images that you would like to see featured in "What I found in my email" Mondays. I would prefer pictures that you took yourself, not something that has been recycled on the internet a hundred times. Send the good stuff to The Big Bald Blog at ImpactMT dot com.

" What I Found In My Email" Mondays. Vol.2 - Issue 2

It's back and it's better than ever. An exciting thrill ride that will assault your senses. A journey into the amazing... Ok fine it's not that great but it IS another edition of "what I found in my email" Mondays!

So here's the setup:

Look at the picture and you can see where this guy broke through the guardrail on the right side where the people are standing on the road (pointing). The pick-up was traveling from right to left when it crashed through the guardrail! It fipped end-over-end, across the culvert outlet, and landed right side up on the left side of the culvert, facing the opposite direction from which he was travelilng.





Now look at the 2nd picture below...




Now I don't know if this is photoshopped, but there is a pretty good possibility that is was. However, it's a pretty lucky landing nonetheless.

Ok back the the grind. Happy Monday everyone!

" What I Found In My Email" Mondays. Vol.2 - Issue 1

Welcome to the new year. I guess we are back in the swing of tings now. Here is the first issue of the 2008 edition of, "What I found in my email" Mondays.

This video was sent to me by a friend who does a lot of fishing. I am actually surprised that the fish, give it's size, didn't sink the boat.

Can anyone tell what kind of fish that is?

" What I Found In My Email" Mondays. Vol.1 - Issue 11

Ok fine. So I am going to post one more time in 2007. Here is the last edition of "what I found in my email" Mondays for 2007.

Those of you living in areas where it snows quite a bit, you can understand having a snow blower with "a little bit more power." But as you will soon see, more power has a new meaning.

I got this from a guy who does a LOT of snow blowing and can appreciate this level of commitment. With a unit like this, I just might be able to join Al's "Brotherhood of the Snowblower."

The email said that this is a 454, V8 snow blower. I think that Tim Allen would be proud of this accomplishment.

454 V8 snowblower

454 v8 snowblower

v8 454 snowblower

I guess this is just one of those things that he had to see if he could do it. Not practical at all but that's obviously not the point. At least it gives us snow bound individuals something to drool over.

Have a safe and happy New Years Eve!

See you in 2008!

" What I Found In My Email" Mondays. Vol.1 - Issue 10

In the interest in keeping with tradition and the fact that these seem to be the most read posts from stumblers, here is the latest edition of, "What I found in my email" Mondays.

I received this today from my Dad. The email was entitled, "Engineering Question.
The question was posed about how much a house weighs. The answer; evidently more than a rural, 2 lane bridge can hold. Here are the pictures.


house breaks the bridge

It's my guess that someone is going to owe someone else a new house. I wonder if they dishes are OK?

Well, that's it for this Monday. OH, and make sure you enter the contest for the iPod. The post says we are celebrating 15,000 unique visitors for the month, but so far we have surpassed 20,000 as of today and it's all because of you.

With the sincerest heart, I would like to thank all of you for stopping by The Big Bald Blog. Merry Christmas to you and yours and may this holiday season be filled with warmth and laughter, the things memories are made with.

With warmest regards,

Andy

What I Found In My Email" Mondays. Vol.1 - Issue 9

And here we are! Another edition of "What I found In my email" Mondays.

In this episode we find our hero courageously defending his in-box against the evil villain, Spamious Maximus... OK fine here's the pictures.

Here is what I found in an email entitled, "Priceless Pictures."


Pay attention kids. This is why spelling in school is important when it's time to get a job.



Flame broiled? No, that's Burger King.


And the road isn't even icy or wet.


I know gas is expensive but this is just plain ridiculous. You mean to tell me that this person didn't know they ripped the hose from the pump.


Must have been a long stakeout.


I don't think that I can hold it that long.


Someone is in trouble.


Awwwwww, poor kitty.


I saved the cutest for last!

Have a great week everyone!

"What I Found In My Email" Mondays

For those of you who weren't here last Monday, I started something new. What ever I find in my email on Monday morning that qualifies as slightly amusing or mildly interesting I will toss it up to the pages of The Big Bald Blog.

Here are some pretty amazing pictures that someone emailed me. I see that the one has a copyright on it. I am not sure whether or not I am supposed to publish that one. I want to make sure that the photographer gets full credit for that and if I am told to take it down, I will.

















That's is for "What I Found In My Email" Mondays! Check back next Monday to see what pops up in my inbox.
