Poll result

The last poll's results are in, and well.. here's what I think about it:

According to the poll, most of you like cheese the most. I don't know for sure, but it's probably because its on the top and the most easy to click. Otherwise, I can't figure out why the hell you would prefer cheese over eggs or milk.

The fact that yogurt is way down there, that's something that I can relate to. Because yogurt it only edible when you mix something like sugar in there. Otherwise it just tastes like milk drawn from a dead cow.

So, now the interesting part. Eggs and milk. Eggs are liked the third best and milk the second best. Is that because you people drink milk with your baked eggs, or boiled eggs and you can't really decide which you like better?

This actually gave me an awesome idea. Just bake the fucking eggs, throw some cheese on there and have a glass of milk. And for the ones that really like the yogurt.. well, if you really want to you can eat that after you've finished your baked eggs with cheese and milk.

happy now?

Whoopi Goldberg (aka Caryn Elaine Johnson)

Yeah, I know. But I just have to share this one with you guys. Cuz she's Whoopi friggin Goldberg. And no, she's not dead yet.

It's like this. For years I've been seeing her on TV. Like as the nun in Sister-act (yeah both of of the movies), as the mysterious bartender named Guinan in Star trek, where she was divorced 23 times. And in, well, she pretty much did everything back in the 90's.

Adding to this, she really has a face to remember. Because when I say 'Whoopi Goldberg' you can paint an image in your thoughts on how she looks. I'm not saying that she's hot. But well, you know.. the image of her kinda sticks into your mind.

So, what's so important about her that I needed to dedicate a blogpost on her? Well, it's because of something I just realized the other day. And I bet most of you guys will go like 'wtf' when I reveal this fact about Whoopi Goldberg.

The fact that I discovered is that she doesn't have fucking eyebrows! Yes, you can scroll up if you don't believe this. Hell, you can even hunt her down on Google and see if you can find an image of her with eyebrows. I dare you!

You have just been amazed

Update on Operation Epic mail

First, here's the earlier post about this operation=>click

And here's the update that I could find:

The operation was a great succes. The party wasn't crashed by hundreds of people. As far as I know, there was only one person from 4chan, 4 persons from reddit and 4 girls from 'the internet'. And that is actually enough for a birthday like that. But, William J Lashua got lots and lots of birthdaycards and other stuff from around the world. And that's what makes it so awesome, in my opinion!

First news that I found was:
"I called the Legion.
His grandson got on the phone
50 Bouqets of Flowers
20 Cakes
Countless cards.
He said 5 UPS have pulled up today with stuff for him.
They also said the local Postal Mail had 2 trucks full of cards.
I almost cried!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He told me to pass along to Anonymous a
"Thank You""

I've been following the updates on how the party was going, and this is what I've got on quotes and pictures from the guest from 4chan, who stayed there the whole day:

"As for the reports that he has no family, I can say firsthand that they are ENTIRELY false. Not only did he have his 3 sons and 3 daughters with him, he had several grandkids and even 2 great-granddaughters there as well, and dozens of cousins, nephews, and family friends there.
This picture has 3 of his daughters, 2 of his sons, and one of his great-grandkids looking at cards with him."




Here is a picture of the 4 girls that stated they were from 'the internet', also accompanied with a quote from the anon from 4chan: "When I asked which one was his favorite, he said "All of them."
Did I mention this guy FUCKING RULES?"








Oh yeah, the girls actually gave him a nice lollipop:












Another quote from the anon: "There was a lady from the town paper there, she was totally clueless. The lady who manages the legion hall (after yelling at me to apologize for the 300 calls she got last night) told me she had been contacted by 2 papers from New York, one in NYC and one in Syracuse about the story. One of the many fine gift baskets they had out.
 

After this, someone wanted to know more about the yelling part, so anon replied:

Not in an angry way, just jokingly. The mood was always one of joking whenever they mentioned the internet stuff, they were definitely not annoyed in any way (except for one of his grandkids who I think was some kind of aspie and was taking the death threat stuff seriously). They especially liked how we all thought William was this sad lonely geezer. Right before they cut the cake someone made a short speech and mentioned that the turnout was "pretty all right for one lonely friendless old man" and everyone laughed. Also the cocktails were cheap, so that may have helped the mood. I had a couple drinks myself."

The cake (not from the internets)

 
And anon kind of ended his report with the following conclusion: "And let me say once again how absolutely wonderful William himself was. I'll go on the record as saying he was the greatest old person I've ever met. At 90 they told me that he lives on his own, still chops his own wood, and he was joking with me the whole night. He was busting balls with all the young kids and even flipped off the camera with a smile on his gummy face in a few photos. The man is my hero just for being awesome."



Oh, and did I mention William J Lashua got lots and lots of birthdaycards? The following picture is just a tip of the iceberg, cuz there was still more on hold at the post-office and probably there's still some more mail on the way.

Well, this is about all i've got about this operation so far. I don't expect any more big surprises about this event. Let's just say that William and his family had a birthday they'll probably never forget!







*Edit: Oh yeah.. I forgot about the Reddit guys. So, well.. here they are:

This one is only posted cuz of the girl in there

*more pictures can be downloaded =>here and more info about all this can be found => here

Update on the update:

William J. Lashua's grandson posted a thank-you message on reddit for all the attention:

There are so many replies, I can't begin to respond to them all. I love the fact that the internet has rallied behind this as a cause, and my family is overwhelmed with what we've seen and read. I've made this my soapbox to talk to "internets" and I feel it's a good place to do so. The outpouring of love, respect, and generosity has been amazing to say the least, but really... please... there are so many others less fortunate than my Grandfather that deserve this as well. This Labor Day weekend, go to your local VA hospital, sit, and visit with the men and women there. Stop off at a nursing home and visit there. Donate to a vetrans charity. Do some good for those who fought for you, and really do have no one to call family or friend. Still do all the nice things you wanted to do for my grandfather, please do. Use that positive energy and make someone super happy. They'll appreciate it more than you'll ever know.
For those of you still thinking of sending cards, please use the following address: William J Lashua c/o American Legion 132 Williams Road Ashburnham, MA 01430 Thank you.

Operation Epic Mail (update somewhere on the 4th of september)

So, today I stumbled into a huge on-line operation called 'Epic Mail'.

It's about the birthday of a 90 year old WW2 veteran called William J. Lashua. This guy lives in a retirement home and has no family and few friends. The home sent out a request for people to join his birthday and celebrate it, because he deserves it.
Now this operation is being supported by a couple of websites, including the website called Reddit and 4chan. 4chan is notorious for being rude/insensitive and obscene.. but every now and then 4chan accomplishes some great things.
Currently people are ordering birthday presents and sending out postcards to William J. Lashua.
Unfortunatly there are also some people who like to fuck up the nice things and see this as an oppertunity to troll the shit out of it by sending obscene mail to this guy. However, the good hearted people left on 4chan have forseen this fact and are taking repercusions against this. An anonymous posted the following on the boards:

Guys, there's an official facebook page for this, and myself and several other (about 5) anons have already confirmed with the secretary at the american legion that it is indeed his birthday, we are going for the party (i have baked him a cake) and we are sorting through the mail the both the night before and on the day and disregarding any trolls, goatse ect, we have asked the secretary to be aware of people trying to fuck shit up and she has agreed with colleagues to screen all his mail for the next month.

fuck you guys trying to ruin this shit, we want to give this guy a fucking epic birthday and you're all trying to ruin it.

Also, we thought about getting a stripper but thought it wouldn't be appropiate.

we plan to:
screen mail from 6pm=12pm on the 3rd and from 6am-9am on the 4th

settle down with him to give him presents (i got him a bottle of jack daniels and a new bridge set (apparently he plays bridge)

have some fucking cake with him and let him tell us about his life

have a celebratory drink with him and his friends, a bit of a dance with music from the 1930's/40's/50's

helping him read through the mail and also show him some screencaps (printed off) from 4chan to show how much people really do appreciate him.

go home and fucking sleep easy knowing this guy had a fucking awesome birthday

I think that this is going to hit the news, because this birthday is going to be epic. Worldwide thank-you mail and lots of guests to celebrate his birthday.

But then, a message appeared on Reddit. It's stated that this message is posted by a family member of him:

Kind folks of reddit, My family and I appreciate the outpouring of love and generosity. There has been a large misunderstanding. The poster which I'm told was found at the Gardner Stop & Shop was more a local notice for people that know him. It was in no way to indicate that he is alone. He has 7 children, many grandchildren, and even great grandchildren. In his younger years he was a foster parent to dozens of foster children. He is well liked in the community, and will be fully supported on his 90th birthday. I ask that if you don't know him, to not attend the party, as it is for his friends and family. The venue for the party is a very small hall, and will be full to capacity with people he knows and loves.

By all means, send cards and well wishes, but please refrain from sending gifts/strippers/cakes/candies/etc. and instead please make a donation in his name to a local vetrans charity.

Thank you again for all the love and well wishes, we certainly never expected this. You are awesome reddit, now please help me spread the word to other outlets and make sure this is a smaller, enjoyable party for him.
 










I still hope that this is going to be epic.. and above all, that William J Lashua is going to have a great birthday, without any disturbances and I really want to see how this operation is going to end up!

These are the facts about farts. Everyone knows them, hear them and smell them. However, only men fart and women say they don't. That's probably true, since they can't build enough pressure because their mouth is always open.
