Takei – Definition

Seems actor George Takei isn’t just famous for his stellar acting on Star Trek. He has parlayed his celebrity into appearances on the Howard Stern show and is something of a Social Media icon – especially on Facebook. And several times from an unmentioned cartoonist friend of ours. As you all know I am a big proponent of those who share other’s work to provide credit where you found it. It isn’t too hard even if you found the picture/cartoon on google because many artists, including yours truly, puts their URL on the image.

George, or whomever is posting for him, doesn’t seem to always have the time for that so he just takes it and posts it as is. Interesting that someone who is in the intellectual property business seems to miss that courtesy.

Any other celebrities that I should spoof their social media habits into a future definition?

NOTE: For those who were here yesterday I didn’t like my caricature of George Takei so I updated it.

Overwhelmed Underwhelmed
Today’s cartoon is based on an actual conversation my wife and I had today. As I was saying it I realized underwhelmed is NOT the opposite of overwhelmed even though “over” and “under” are.

overwhelmed
- Bury or drown beneath a huge mass.
- Defeat completely.
underwhelmed
- Fail to impress or make a positive impact on (someone); disappoint
You would think they wouldn’t BOTH be bad. Anyone else think of two words that should mean opposite things but really aren’t?

Oral Sex Banned from School…Dictionaries

Thanks to the Friggin Loon for the heads up on this story. It seems a California School has decided to yank the dictionaries out of a K-8 school because they found out that the definition of the word “oral sex” was contained within. Oh my!!!!

Actually I remember as a kid skimming through the dictionary with my friends to find the most offensive words we could. And good or bad, these days kids are far less naive than we were. Parents don’t control what their kids watch or see on the internet. And trust me, even if 99% of them did, a kid will befriend the one kid in town whose parents don’t.

And before you ask…no I didn’t do internet porn research. I don’t even know if BigBoobieGirls.com is a real website. Someone whose other half isn’t staring intently over their shoulder as they post this particular cartoon might want to check and report back.

Speaking of being naive…I can remember in 7th grade a girl in my class coming up and asking me “are you a virgin?”. To which I replied…”NO! I am a Cancer!!!”
