Millions of Ghost Chicks

Subnormality delivers once again.

See how an egg
barn works here.

…Eggs only come from female chickens, right? Millions of ‘em, stuck in those factory farm cages laying eggs year-round. And they have to be replaced every two years, so that means new hens are constantly being bred to keep egg production going. But what about all the male chickens that are inevitably being hatched too? No use to the egg industry, right? Well, all those millions of male chicks — tiny, day-old chicks — are gathered up and slaughtered in a high-speed grinder! Millions every year! A level of death unprecedented in nature — just think about that.

And then think about this: If a ghost is the restless spirit of a creature that has died violently, then just think of all the ghost chicks that are roaming the streets under your feet. Billions of fuzzy little babies wandering confusedly around looking for their mothers and never finding them, sheltering from the rain under discarded newspapers, pecking in futility at crumbs of food — unable to understand their own intangibility. Billions of tiny little souls, gliding among the blades of grass in a city park, running from dogs that can’t even see them, never growing up, spending eternity in confused anguish because no-one can help them. Millions more joining their numbers each year…

I love the image of millions of forever lost ghost chicks wandering for eternity. I imagine the cubicle next to mine is probably full of ‘em — more sneaking in each time the front door opens.

Yesterday’s Pearls before Swine seems a little too relevant…

I enjoy many webcomics, but this is my new favorite. Surreal, disturbing, and brilliant. Right in my vein. :) Consider:

Diversity in the Workplace

goobermaster — Tue, 27 Nov 2007 09:50:26 -0600

I don’t know who came up with this (thanks stumble), but it cracks me up each time. So very very wrong and so very funny…

In today’s fast paced work environment, diversity among co-workers is one of the most exciting — and challenging — aspects of the office dynamic.	Understanding is key, and this brochure, presented as an educational “comic strip,” will educate you, the worker, about diversity and understanding.	This is an example of a BLACK MAN. They are very much like you or I, except they steal cars.
In a multicultural office, there is much room for misunderstanding. So it is best to listen carefully, as different people and cultures have different styles of speaking.		It’s also best to take extra time when explaining complicated ideas to women, as they are dumb and can’t do anything right.
During meetings, it is essential that you make absolute sure that each of your co-workers understands what you are saying. As such, you must ask that they wait until after the presentation before they ask such questions as “Hey boss, I wants some watermelon!” or “Ay caramba! Let us eat the tacos!” Discourage such outbursts by reminding them that you have the number of their parole officer.

Under the stairs, Leaky!

“Right, into the Red Lodge with you—can’t have you blighting the crops with your feminine taint!”
“Don’t be stupid—I’m not due for another two weeks. And this isn’t the Red Lodge, it’s the cupboard under your stairs!”
“Quiet, Leaky. I’ll be back with some rags.”

More stumbled booty. I thought this was mighty clever.

I mean, seriously folks, is there really a debate here yet? Go back to Kansas and wait for a tornado to work its Darwinian magic otherwise.

I’ve been having fun re-creating this comic for friends on napkins all week — here’s the original:

I think so too!

She'd have to come down some time

The girls had succeeded in trapping the evolutionist up a tree.
“What’s the matter, Darwin-lover? Why don’t you just evolve some wings and fly away?”
She’d have to come down some time, and when she did, they’d show her God’s love. By beating the fuck out of her, obviously.

I simply cannot express the delight I get from this cartoon. Absolutely brilliant!
