Make Asmodeus Great Again

I was reminded of this meme after following a link from a Facebook friend who’s one of my “south-pointing compasses” to a National Review article titled Understanding Why Religious Conservatives Would Vote for Trump.

Read the article, then toss it aside and watch this more accurate assessment by the YouTuber known as “Renegade Cut”:

In case you don’t get the “Asmodeus” reference, here’s his entry from the 1980s edition of the Monster Manual for that era’s edition of Dungeons and Dragons…

Math skills today, explained

I’ve met a disturbingly large number of people from all age groups who say, without any hint of shame, that they’re “not a numbers person”. It’s as if they time-traveled to 2018 for math lessons.

I initially read this as “GWAR GWAR”…

…and why not? GWAR is the greatest crack-powered alien band based in Antarctica of all time!

Somebody please tell me what I’m looking at here

Looking at this photo, it’s clear to me that I’m not up-to-date on something — but I’m not sure if it’s sports medicine or kink.

Florida men caught with bag full of drugs very clearly marked as “Bag full of drugs”

Tap the photo to see it at full size.

When the Florida Highway Patrol pulled over a car going 25 miles per hour (40 kilometers per hour) above the speed limit, one of the officers saw a bag with the text “BAG FULL OF DRUGS” printed on it. It turned out to actually be the case — they found 75 grams of meth, 1.36 kilograms of “raver roofies” (GHB), 15 ecstasy pills, 3.6 grams of fentanyl, and a gram of cocaine.

It was probably a salesmanship trick on the dealers’ part: when making the sale, they’d pull out the BAG FULL OF DRUGS, which would probably get a laugh from the customer and make the transaction a little smoother.

I get the feeling that this bag is going to get a boost in sales from this story. If you’d like to purchase one — presumably for ironic comedy purposes — you can get it online from “Human” for US$18.99:

…and if you’d like to throw off suspicious cops, perhaps the “Definitely not a bag full of drugs” tote bag might be what you’re looking for (US$32.99 at Human):

Florida of the day: “I want my foreskin back!”

The Bloodstained Men, an anti-circumcision activist group with the perfect name, also have the best signs. They were recently in Bradenton, and are expected to be see protesting in Orlando tomorrow, and here in Tampa on what I’m calling “Foreskin Friday”.

My favorite sign of theirs is “Nobody wants less penis.” If there’s a fridge magnet with this slogan, I will buy it immediately!

From my “Drafts” folder: Photos for my eventual Latin pop album (or: At “Les tam-tams” in Montreal in 2003)

Tap the photo to see it at full size.

These photos have been sitting in my “Drafts” folder since late 2003. They’re from Les tam-tams, a drum circle event that takes place on non-rainy Sundays in the summer in Montreal’s Mont Royal park. I figured that after 17 years, it was time to finally post this article (remember, the Accordion Guy blog’s been around since November 2001).

With photos like these, I may just have to release a Latin pop album. Is Shakira looking for an accordionist? I’m up to play some cumbias on the squeezebox…
