Charlize Theron Old Lady Titty Dress of the Day

Sometimes it is better to look a a celebrity bitch from South Africa with a natural instinct to kill her husband like her mother who murdered her father and a high risk of being HIV positive…in her playboy pics from 1997…which might as well be 1887 cuz it’s so fucking history…. So no matter how hot she may be or how elegant the aging process has been for her….she was better before this picture was taken at some bullshit event…. If you know what I mean.

RIP Motherfucker – Patrice O’Neal Tribute Post of the Day

I generally don’t laugh at much. I don’t find anything “LOL” funny. I am either a comedy snob or just a bitter motherfucker who resents more successful people than me…If anything I find comedy annoying scripted shit, always the same joke over and over for idiots to laugh at cuz they feel they have to…. But, I have seen Patrice O’Neal live at the Just For Laughs event in Montreal. He is some funny shit, and now he is no more….His fatness that gave him diabetes, gave him a stroke that he didn’t recover from…and now he is dead…and that’s some sad shit…. Like so many comedians before him, living the grind, he chose burger and fries as his drug of choices, and slowly killed himself….I can relate. He was a talent that I noticed he was a little flimsy at the Sheen Roast…but we’ve got tons of videos to remember him by….RIP Motherfucker. The Patrice O’Neal Edition…
