where are they now?

Most of yinz - if you're like me - think of Houston, Texas primarily as the home of the space program.  I've got a healthy respect for the rocket scientists and astronauts in its employ.  I love me some "Apollo 13" and fairly recently watched "The Right Stuff," and I have warm feelings every time see them.  They help me to forget, however briefly, that Houston is in Texas.

You see, Texas - at least as far as I can tell (or care to tell) - is filled with people like my good pal Eric Floyd.  Longtime readers will recall Eric as that inquisitive soul who "challenged" my extremely controversial idea that it really sucked that my Grandma had Parkinson's.  A comment by Vanna over on Jodi's blog made me think of him.  Checking in on him felt just like old times.  I'm pleased to see Mr. Floyd has been occupying his time with the most highly intellectual of pursuits.

Oh god. I couldn't make it past "fart box." Unfortunately, I don't think Texas has the market cornered on douchebags.

This is coming from a grown man?
hotrod
I actually haven't made it all the way through this video, either
Jodi
Because you aren't 8. My nephew Max would think this was the highest of good humor.

This is why eight year olds aren't supposed to vote. I'd bet anything there are certain current Presidents who are convinced this is the height of comedy.
Jodi
Who are from Texas, oddly enough.
hotrod
Ah yes, true enough. Sort of. I mean, they'd be from Texas if they weren't actually from Connecticut. But I bet they like stupid fart jokes, just the same. "Comedy" knows no bounds.

It really warms the heart to know that parents like Eric care enough about their kids to spend their heard-earned, very likely overly-taxed paychecks to take their children to Museums of Natural History. So that they can spend the entire time they are there engaged in a pathetic, rude ruse. And that they can then reflect upon their lessons at the museum, go home, and spend more quality time together editing a producing a video for public consumption of their ignorance. Family values in action!

It just occurred to me that it would be sweet if Eric or his wife developed Parkinson's - or any other incurable ailment. I'm not above wishing that on someone.
Vanna
Suhweet. I've refrained from this sort of out and out calling out of fellow Voxers simply out of some kind of blog community etiquette, but I've longed for it to happen. I suppose however Eric was asking for it, given he spewed his worthless gall onto hotrod.vox.com.
hotrod
I might have given it a second thought if he had offered the same courtesy. Which he didn't. Whatever. I know he ain't winnin no spellin bees.

Dude, this has nothing to do with Texas. I'm sure there are plenty of people in OHIO that would find this high art and are just sad they didn't think of it themselves. In fact, I'd go on to say that this is basically badly executed Letterman/Conan/Leno humor. I could totally see this go down on one of those shows.

This doesn't mean that Eric doesn't suck ass, b/c he does. But obviously this isn't his worst offense.


hotrod
He lives in Texas. And Texas is at least a million times worse than Ohio.

Think again after you've watched the video of Ann Coulter bashing Elizabeth Edwards. I wish Ebola or Hanta virus upon dear ol' Ann.
