WTF Wednesday: Sump Pump for Your Stomach


The FDA has just approved this device. 

http://www.koaa.com/story/32220969/fda-approves-stomach-draining-obesity-treatment?utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook_KOAA_5


It sucks the food out of your stomach and dumps it in the toilet before the calories stick to your butt.
The AspireAssist system consists of a thin tube implanted in the stomach, connecting to an outside port on the skin of the belly. About 20 minutes after finishing a meal, users connect the port to an external device, which drains some of the recently-consumed food into the toilet.

WTF Wednesday: Raggedy Family, Bernie Sanders Year One Photos


Hey Wednesday! Hey WTF!

Hello Raggedy family in Oklahoma! (thanks, kid D!)


https://www.instagram.com/p/BFT3TJZQK7EYCwldXt09DT4OYM_rzrndTYh-N00/

Moving on to something equally WTF in a less creepy way - feast your eyes on Bernie Sanders' past year in photos - The Political Revolution: Year One

Starting out May 2015 in Burlington, Vermont,


Through last summer in Texas,


 August in Los Angeles,


Stunning display of compassion,


After stunning display of compassion,


He has done some incredible things,


And inspired an incredible number of people,


Like a goddamn Beatles concert,


With his family by his side,


 All day,


Every day,


For more than a year.


How he has the energy for event after event, week after week, I will never know, though it must feel great to be saying the same things you've been saying to empty rooms, only now to overflow stadiums full of cheering people. 

Dozens more photos here: The Political Revolution: Year One.

Last but not least, here is Pouncey, who at 4 years old, still sucks on pillows if he goes 2 days without a hike. Here he's made a bosom from his dog bed and sucked on it for a half hour.

WTF Wednesday: Body Rubs, Swallowed Magnets


Hello Wednesday! Hello WTF!

I had no idea swallowed magnets could be so destructive. Warning: keep this kids' toy away from kids.

Moving on to 1995, the sculpture. 

1995 baby


Oriental sauna spa body rubs.

Reminds me of the Willie O poem "Can I Have a Body Rub? Gladly!"

A long day, a hot and sore body,
you're tired after a long drive,
Can I have a body rub?

Playing with the kids, working in the yard,
you've just completed that five mile run.
Can I have a body rub?

Sitting at that desk for six of seven hours,
the stress and all the tension is trying to make you sour, 
Can I have a body rub?

We had a great time at the picnic, softball, sack races and a
whole lot more, now I am in a little bit of pain.
Can I have a body rub?

Coaching Little League and playing in the city league, as you
get older you play the price for these.
Can I have a body rub?

Our days have ups and downs, we do so many things to get
ourselves off track, or make life a funny thing, but to let off
a little steam and help yourself relax.
GO AHEAD AND GET A BODY RUB
YOUR LOVER WILL CHARGE NO TAX!

CAN I HAVE A BODY RUB?
GLADLY,
NOW JUST KICK BACK!

Last but not least, minimum wage rock n roll from the Bus Boys.
