		<description><![CDATA[I just saw part of a show called “Best Funerals Ever”.  In this episode, the family of the deceased hired a funeral planner to put together a Christmas-themed event complete with elves, a Gingerbread man, reindeer, barnyard animals (living goats and sheep), three wise men and, of course, Santa and his sleigh carrying the casket into the church.  I didn’t see Mary or Joseph but come on, it’s a funeral; there had to be some dignity. Initially, my reaction to this over-the-top affair was the same I have had for some of the over-the-top weddings I have watched on TV – it’s only one day and what’s important is what comes after that day.  But let’s face it, that philosophy doesn’t work for the funeral guest of honor.   This is the dead person’s last hurrah; there are no tomorrows, so maybe he or she should be able to go out with a bang. Despite my desire to be non-judgmental, I do have some problems concerning  the “Funerals to Die For”, and in case my family sees this show and thinks “Wow, this is the way we are going to send her off”, I want to set some ground rules .

		<description><![CDATA[There is a commercial (Geico Insurance) that shows a very happy Paul Revere playing charades with friends. The reason why Revere is so happy?  He has a cell phone which means he can call to warn Boston the British are coming instead of making that arduous and dangerous ride on horseback. Imagine if this was true and Revere and other historical figures had cell phone technology?  Imagine if we had the ability to text throughout history?   Here are some of my top contenders for “History Made Better with Texting.” &#160; Eve to Adam: I found this great tree. The fruit looks yummy! Adam to Eve:   DO NOT EAT THE APPLE! NO APPLE! Eve: Don’t Yell at me! I get it! No apple! BTW, I’m tired of you. I want a divorce. Jesus: Mom, I’m got lost in the temple, but doing a freebie talk to these rabbis.  Can you and Dad pick me up. I’m hungry.  What’s for dinner? Brutus to Caesar: Some of the guys are really concerned about  you and are planning an intervention.  I am going to pretend to be in on it, but I’m really with you.  Oh, by the way,  Beware the Ides of March.

		<description><![CDATA[&#160; Some people have fetishes; I get it.  I don’t want to be a part of their fetish world, but I watch enough cable TV to know that lots of kinky stuff exists out there.  I thought nothing would shock me until I came across a video about  eyeball licking. Yes, this is not a typo.  Apparently the old-time fetishes just don’t work anymore, and the new fad of eyeball licking has replaced the boring sex stuff.  So that you have a true idea of this activity, here is a picture: Okay, this picture is a lie, but I wanted to spare you the really gross photos. If you are that curious what eyeball licking entails, ( and you should be ashamed if you are) you can go to You Tube and look it up. I did &#8212; for research purposes only, of course.   After studying this ocular activity, I have a few concerns: 1. Germs.  I cannot imagine how many germs are planted into the eyeball with this activity.  I would think someone could get Pink Eye whatever contagious diseases exist or maybe  swallow a contact lens. On a positive note: the makers of Visine have hit the [...]]]></description>

With a webseries in the works, this mystery, suspense, paranormal thriller will keep readers glued to their seats.

		<description><![CDATA[According to the Pew Research Center for People and the Press, the majority of  Americans don’t care about the NSA scandal and believe that electronic surveillance for the use of finding terrorists is acceptable. So, for future whistleblowers, here are a set of guidelines to follow before stepping into the spotlight with a new scandal that turns into a dud: Scandals should include taking down other governments that we don’t like: Very few scandals have the lasting power of Watergate, and honestly in today’s world if Watergate happened, Deep Throat would still be standing in a dark garage, flailing his arms, trying to flag down Woodward and Bernstein. Not only do we maintain a lower morality threshold for our modern-day politicians, but most of us don’t need a secret source to find out about campaign strategies. We can find out everything we need to know on the internet because political campaigns leak their own stuff all the time.  So, if you want a scandal to thrive, make it about a dictator we don’t like and about our under-the-radar support of people trying to overthrow him.  Nothing fans the scandal flames like a guerilla uprising.  This plot might be old, but [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Are you hoping to find that magic cream, pill or lotion that will give you flawless, youthful skin? Well, actress Heather Locklear has the answer, and it’s a remedy you probably won’t find on a Sunday morning infomercial:  Human sperm.  Yes, Locklear rubs the little swimmers on her face to ward off wrinkles. &#160; Locklear doesn’t say where she procures her supply, but I would assume she has little trouble finding willing donors.  So, is this just another Hollywood fad?  Well, no.  In fact, not only does sperm have anti-aging elements but are you ready? It is as nutritious as a high-protein shake. &#160; According to researchers at Columbia Health, semen contains fructose sugar, water, Vitamin C, Zinc, protein, and other good nutritional stuff.  So, the health benefits of semen are not underestimated. The problem is that if women use sperm as a topical anti-aging cream and as a nutritional supplement, less sperm will be available for the reproduction process especially if one follows the one-mate-only rule. So, what’s a woman to do? &#160; Some experts suggest that women maintain a two-party sperm system.  A woman can assign a man she finds attractive to reproduction efforts in hopes his sperm [...]]]></description>

We have done something similar like this before with Halloween when we hosted  our “Horror Meets Humor” Series which proved to be a great success and allowed us to give shout outs to talented horror writers.  So, this summer, on specific days, we will post three to four posts from genres other than Humor.  We cannot post every submission, so the editing team will select which submissions will be published.  Those writers who are selected will enjoy the same amount of extensive promotion that HO writers receive.  It is a great way to get your work and name out! &#160; The rules are simple: &#160; Register as a subscriber to HumorOutcasts.com.  ( Please follow this up with a quick email to bestsy@humoroutcasts.com or donna@humoroutcasts.com as sometimes WordPress&#8217; automatic confirmation does NOT work)   Make sure to fill in a bio so if your work is selected, we can post easily and readers will be able to read about you and your work.

		<description><![CDATA[&#160; I just saw a commercial for Amazing Arms (https://www.getamazingarms.com/),  magic sleeves that women slip on to hide flab in the upper arm region.  So, now when we wave goodbye or dance in public, our arm fat stays in place.  Amazing Arms joins the array of products that women use to deceive the world that they possess no body fat whatsoever.  Let’s see: We have Spanx to suck in our tummies and if we buy the leg Spanx, our thighs look smooth and firm; we can get the Genie bra to lift our boobs so we always look 20 instead of 45; we have the booty padding underwear which gives our derriere a lift.  Who needs plastic surgery with all these accessories?  If they came up with a face cheek thinner, I would be ultra thin everywhere. I have to wonder though what happens if a woman wears all this stuff and then has to face the prospect of an intimate moment with someone else.  My mind goes to the movies where sexy jazz music plays as the cameras pan on clothing and lingerie strewn across the floor which alerts the viewer that the “Dance with no Pants” has taken [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I just saw a Hoveround commercial that shows two elderly people sitting in their scooters which are perched  dangerously close to the edge of what looks like the Grand Canyon. While their mouths are gleefully saying, “We have so much freedom with our Hoverounds”, their eyes have a desperate look that scream, “Help, the kids made us sign a new will.” Donna CavanaghDonna Cavanagh, the Founder of HumorOutcasts.com and the newly launched HumorOutcasts Press/Shorehouse Books, is a veteran journalist whose detour into humor writing has landed her on the pages and blogs of national newspapers and magazines including MORE and FIRST.

		<description><![CDATA[Lately, I have seen a lot of authors using guilt to sell books. I am all for promotion as anyone who knows me can tell you. I will do anything to help my authors or writers. However, having grown up in the Italian-catholic world where guilt was the first weapon of choice, I try to avoid using it as a tool to sell anything.  As it turns out, that is sort of a stupid stance on my part, and I realized this when I read some of the guilt-filled posts from various authors: 1. If I don’t sell enough books, I won’t have enough for my mother’s operation.  (It turns out that this was true, but the life-saving surgery was liposuction. Apparently, her thighs look amazing,  and her mom is a much more content person so I don&#8217;t think I can be  too judgmental.) 2. If I don’t sell enough books, I won’t have enough food to feed my children.  (Not totally false. The children turned out to be the future children she is hoping to create with her future husband who she will meet on her book tour.) 3. If I don’t sell enough books, I won’t get another book [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I went to the post office to mail a package. I was expecting to wait in line, and I knew going into that building that the inevitable 20-minute wait would feel like four hours.  In my experience, the post office was like purgatory. Everyone hung around sighing and swearing under their breath, hoping that their stint in the pseudo hell line would end shortly and they could go to a better place. Part of the problem with the post office was that it offered no distraction. The walls were painted white, and the only entertainment was the “Most Wanted” List that was stapled to a bulletin board that was secured behind a glass display case.  I will admit that I did enjoy perusing that list to make sure no one I knew had cracked that prestigious top 10, but alas, my family and friends either led honest lives or flew silently under the FBI radar.  I don’t know for sure what I would do if I recognized someone, but my guess is that if there was a reward, I would be singing like a canary to the Feds. &#160; However, this post office trip was different. As I walked into [...]]]></description>

I am neither a diplomat nor an economist, but it’s going to hit the fan in Venezuela soon and we have a chance to be the hero. I think an oil for TP trade seems like a logical move.

		<description><![CDATA[&#160; Some people say they are sick of this world, and they want to get away from it all.  While many of these malcontents long to leave “civilized society” and settle in rural wooded areas or survivalist camps in Idaho where they can shoot people for no reason, others anticipate an escape of a grander nature.  These ambitious Earth dwellers truly want to go “where no man has gone before”.  And fortunately for them, there is someone willing to help them out. Mars One, a Dutch non-profit organization is hoping to send a crew to Mars by 2022.  Already 78,000 applicants have signed on to be a part of this colonization effort that if successful will prove to be the most audacious pioneering expedition since Magellan circumnavigated the globe.  So, what does this colonization mission entail? The pioneers will have to perform a lot of construction work day in and day out. They will have to build greenhouses, shelters and life support systems that will be necessary if the colonists are to survive.  Although scientists are a big part of this effort,  Mars One is not in search of Geeks or nerds. They are looking for settlers who are committed [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I love that HumorOutcasts.com can help out charitable organizations on occasion. This week I did an interview with TV producer Kara Vallow (Family Guy, American Dad, The Cleveland Show) who is also part of the HumrOutcasts.com family. Kara, who is an equestrian, works with Compton Jr. Posse (CJP) in Los Angeles. Founded by Mayisha Akbar, CJP provides inner-city youth with year round after school programs using equestrian activities which help develop responsibility, disciple and self-esteem. Students learn to set and achieve both academic and career goals which is a powerful alternative to the equally powerful lure of gang and drug lifestyles. CJP’s award-winning program has given inner city kids a framework for success by teaming them with horses and highly skilled instructors, including Olympic Gold Medalist Will Simpson and Olympian &#38; International Dressage Judge Charlotte Bredahl-Baker. &#160; On May 18th, 2013 the 6th Annual Compton Jr. Posse  Gala will be held and Television stars Patricia Heaton and Portia de Rossi will be honored for their work and vision. CJP is in need of some help from the community and beyond.  If you cannot buy tickets to attend the gala, contact information is below for donating to this worthwhile cause.   [...]]]></description>

And it is only because of my deep respect for him that I want to share it with all of you.  I think I look a little scary which I sort of like because I look tough, but I think he went a little crazy with the pen when it came to my hair!

		<description><![CDATA[I have angst—serious angst. It seems in a few days a major brood of bugs will be descending upon the East Coast.  When I first heard about this, I needed to find out more information so I went where one always goes to get the most accurate data: Twitter.  Then I went to the next most accurate source Wikipedia, and this is what I found out: The bug experts call these creatures Cicadas and apparently, they have been bunkered down for 17 years waiting for their triumphant return. Well, they are waiting to have sex—lots  and lots of sex and then after they have sex, the females lay eggs and the adults eventually die off and in the midst of all this romance and procreation there are loud, loud noises which emanate through the night. I know if it wasn’t for the fact that we were talking about bugs, some people might find this description titillating but we are talking bugs—big bugs.  The scientists call Cicadas fascinating. They try to quell fears by telling the non-bug loving population that these critters are harmless. Then, they show us pictures of said critters: &#160; Do they look harmless? They look like something [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I know my roots. I am second generation American. My grandparents were among the hoards of immigrants who came to the US in the early 1900s from Europe. They settled in Little Italy New York at the corner of Mott and Grand streets right next door to the infamous Ferrara’s restaurant and not far from various landmarks where mobsters were “dealt with” in a very bloody way. I am sure we still have relatives back in Italy both in the Naples area and most likely northern Italy since I have blonde hair and blue eyes.  Is it important that I know who might be part of my family tree in other parts of the world? No, even if I have relatives elsewhere, they are far removed from me, so I will embrace the mystery that is my family.  However, it is nice to know that if I did not want to embrace the mystery, Ancestry.com can do a DNA test on me for $99 and give me solid details about those who went before me, and those who I am related to now and don’t know about. Yes, for small fee, I can send them a sample of spit and [...]]]></description>
