The Things We Lost in the Fire - By Charlie Spink





I’m sure that you have all been asked the question, “If your house was on fire, and you could only grab one thing, what would it be?”

  

There is no right or wrong answer here, but there is at least one very dumb one.  Once in my philosophy class our teacher asked a young lady what one thing she would grab in a fire and she said that she would grab her dead  grandmother’s ashes. 
  
Personally, I thought that was a pretty stupid response.  If the house is on fire then there will be no shortage on ashes anytime soon.  Give it an hour and the whole house is grandmas ashes. So when this young lady gave her answer I couldn’t help but laugh out loud. 

So she asked me, “Okay Charlie, what would be the first thing you’d grab if your house was on fire?”
  
I told her “That’s easy; the first thing that I would grab during a fire would be the FIRE EXTINGUISHER! That way I could save all of my stuff and not have to play favorites.”  That shut her up pretty quickly.

On a side-note: Whoever came up with the phrase “you’ve gotta fight fire, with fire” has gotta be the worst fire fighter ever.




Water, Ice, hoses, blankets, pissing Dalmatians, whatever the heck they put in fire-extinguishers: those things are what you should fight fire with.



If my house was burning down and some imbecile came in with a flame-thrower I would want his ass thrown off of the force immediately. 

At the end of the day objects are only as valuable as we make them and the magic of our best memories can never really be confined to our tangible treasures. And in all seriousness it would be tough to choose just one or two artifacts to save in case of an inextinguishable emergency.

So here's a hot tip: learn how to use a fire extinguisher.  That way when somebody asks you the question of "What's the first thing that you'd grab in a fire?" you be able to blow their minds with this simple solution. "The Fire Extinguisher."

From now on you won't be fighting "fire with fire", you'll be fighting "fire with knowledge" (or at least the knowledge of how to use a fire extinguisher).  Knowledge is fun, functional and far less flammable than fire.  

Hopefully this "sparks" up a conversation or two on how to properly use a fire extinguisher.  Because not knowing how to use one when you need it is not cool (on the contrary it's uncomfortably hot and can often lead to involuntary cremation). 

Homeowners, always keep a fire extinguisher close at hand, I'm sure that grandma's ashes will understand.

Hard Labor for Whites? That’s Just Not Right: A brief racial history of cheap labor - By Charlie Spink



             Adolph Hitler was not a dumb guy. For what he lacked in congeniality, open-mindedness, and an adequate number of testicles, he more than made up for in strategic brilliance.  Now I know very little about war, but if a petit, one-balled fellow was nearly able to take-over the world then he must have been doing something right.
            I don’t attend a school of thought that teaches anti-Semitism, on the contrary, I think that the Jews were responsible for building an empire that came within inches from achieving world dominance.  And this is why Hitler, despite his hatred of the Jewish race, used them as his cheap labor.  Adolph looked at the Jewish slave résumé and he was no doubt impressed.  Hebrew slaves were responsible for the building of the pyramids, which are undeniably one of the wonders of the world. 
With quality craftsmanship like that, who wouldn’t want enslaved Jews to handle their handiwork?  Jews were also responsible for constructing another great wonder that has stood erect for thousands of years; Christianity.  Jesus was a Jew, so was his father, and all of his apostles were also kosher card-carrying Jews.  Even the poor Jerusalemites who voted for Jesus’ death, (which was a necessary step in establishing the part-time carpenter/ full-time Christ as a deity) were all Jewish.  The world owes the Pyramids, Jesus Christ, and circumcision to the practice of Judaism.  With on-the-clock results like that, they deserve to take off all of the extra-holidays that they want.
Even a racist-bastard like the Hitler was able to see that he should put his prejudices aside and hire a group of people based on their history of strong results.  Many historians still think that Hitler would be running the show today if he wouldn’t have gone and killed off all of his Judean allies.  Without a strong Jewish support squad Germany was just a bunch of Aryan Blondes. Few know this but the “Pure German Race” was the ethnicity that launched a billion dumb blonde jokes, all of which were penned by Jewish comedians (whom would later be put to death for their work).   
            The theme of overcoming racism in order to build a brighter future is still quite relevant in today’s America.  With local red-necks bitching and complaining about the surge of migrant workers who are taking their jobs, I feel that it’s necessary to take a look at the ethnic résumés of each major race to see who really deserves our nation’s cheap labor. 
            Peoples of Latino and Hispanic origins seem to be the most venerable targets in this war of words so let’s start off with them.  Throughout history these bean-powered individuals have used the complex-carbohydrates in their diet to create some of the world’s most amazing architecture, eateries, and party accessories.  The Mayan and the Aztec cultures built their own pyramids and temples to the Gods that have stood for thousands of years.  Sure their pyramids may not be as famous as the pyramids that lay on the sands of Egypt, but the churros that are for sale at the Hispanic pyramids are far more delicious (and not as sandy as their Egyptian churro counterparts).  The constructing of long-lasting architecture like that takes some top-quality handy-work. 
It was the faith-driven peoples of Latin American heritage who were responsible for building the 125 foot statue of Jesus that looks over Rio de Janeiro.  Bible-thumpers here in the US can talk all they want about how these people are ruining the economy, yet they are the ones who are using their time and money to pay homage to your God, while you guys are blowing your collection plate offerings on Porches and Child Molestation Lawyers.   
What have Caucasians created? Whites are the main race complaining about the foreign work-force taking their jobs, but historically speaking the white man has the least impressive résumé.
The Chinese have built a Great Wall that can be seen from outer space. They have also built the railroads that patriotically connect our country “from sea to shining sea.”  Not to mention that their cookies are not only delicious but wise, they expand both our minds and our backsides.  In comparison whites built their own (not so) Great Wall, it was called the Berlin Wall and it fell.  The Great Wall can be seen from space and was able to withstand many a war, while the Berlin fell just because David Hastlehoft decided to perform the song “Freedom.” While other races are fully capable of creating “Great Walls” we can’t even put up great wall-paper without the assistance of our Mexican amigos down at the Home Depot.  And when it comes to railroads, whites can’t take credit for the coastal-globalization that trains have provided our nation, our only claim to railroad fame is that two out of every three homeless people that you see asleep on the subway are white. 
African-Americans have long-since been getting the crap jobs in this country, but looking into their ethnic repertoire they have been responsible for much greater wonders of the world than whites.  Blacks built America, the greatest country in the history of the world.  Our country was built on the backs of those who couldn’t possibly get a sun-burn, the only redness in those necks were the cuts and bruises left by the whips of their lazy bastard masters.  And since the human race technically began in Africa, black people are responsible for the initial building of the human being itself.  Whites can fool around with cloning all they’d like, but nothing compares to the real deal.   
Pushy pale people are the ones who are screaming and complaining about immigration and what it is doing to our economy.  But in a land that prides itself as being a place where “the best of the best” strive for greatness why would we entrust whites with simple yard-work let alone major construction. 
While the Jews built the Pyramids, Latinos constructed major temples, the Chinamen built the Great Wall, and Black folks built America.  What have whites contributed to the aesthetic beauty of the world?
There is Stonehenge, and all I have to say to that is, “Stonehenge? What the Hell?”  To this very day us whites are so confused over why we built Stonehenge that many of us still blame it on Aliens (the Green kind, not the kind that need a Green Card).  Personally, I think we were just drunk. 
The only feats of amazement that can be contributed to the white man have two things in common: they are all phallic shaped and useless.  Which ironically enough is what most of the women of the world consider a white man’s penis to be (Phallic shaped and useless).  The Washington monument and the Eiffel Tower are both impressive in the fact that they are massive testaments to what white men can do when they have nothing but time on their hands.  Neither one of them have a practical use other than trying to prove to the world that an enormous white phallus does in-fact exist.  Then there is The Leaning Tower of Pisa, which was not only another excuse to make a large penile-shaped object, but a deformed bent one at that. 
Why should America give cheap labor to whites (citizens or not) if all they are going to build with their time and money are monuments to compensate for their lack of god-given genital girth. 
Our great nation should learn from our own forefathers, and our formerly mono-sphered enemy and just let other “chosen people” do all of our hard labor for us. “The best man for the best job” isn’t that what the USA is all about?  If we start to give whites all of the cheap labor that we currently employ to brown people; lawns will go un-mowed, and our economy will no longer be given the freedom needed to grow.   Regardless of race, color, or creed, the best worker for each job is what we need.  Through cheap labor we want to build a useful and bright tomorrow, not another useless white dildo.

Hold The Phone - By Charlie Spink


                As time goes on our language continues to evolve and yesterday’s catchiest catch-phrases become today’s most tired clichés. Hell, William Shakespeare and Snoop Doggy Dogg technically both spoke English, but I can’t imagine the two of them being able to carry on a conversation with how different their dialects were. (That could lead to a very amusing character, Snoop the Shakespearian Pimp. He’d have quotes like “Bitches, bitches, where for art thou bitches?”)
                Sometimes a phrase or saying is so prominent or overused that it stays in our collective vocabulary long after it’s relevant.
                My favorite current example of one sort of phrasing is the term, “hold the phone”. Back in the day when telephones were used primarily for calling people, the phrase hold the phone was used to signify something that was shocking or surprising.
                The phase, “hold the phone” was almost more of an abbreviation for “Hey there sir or madam, don’t waste those very precious, very limited phone minutes with the news that you thought you had… hold the phone and I’ll give you the skinny on some new info that’ll blow your mind. After-all, these are the olden days and if you want to get any information then the only way to get it, is to wait until tomorrow’s morning edition of the newspaper comes out. So in conclusion, hold the phone!”
                That thought was so long that you can see why you’d want to abbreviate it. It’s more of a dissertation than a declaration.
                Back then, “hold the phone” was such a strange request because people spent so little time actually holding phones. Phones were used primarily for phone calls (local only, don’t ever think about dialing long-distance. Long before credit card debt and bad home loans gained traction here in America, TOO MANY LONG DISTANCE TELEPHONE CALLS was the number one reason for bankruptcy in America).
                But now-a-days you don’t have to ask people to, “hold the phone” because we spend our whole god-damn lives holding our phones. Between sending each other emails, voicemails, tweets, texts messages, Instagram, Pinterest, and dick pics WE ARE ALWAYS HOLDING OUR PHONES.
                Telling one of today’s tech-happy teens to, “hold the phone” is like telling them to breathe oxygen… at this point it’s damn near involuntary. So with that in mind, I’ve taken it upon myself to update the phrase, “hold the phone” for today’s generation. Here it goes… from now on when you want to give someone some shocking information just say, “Put down your f*%#^ing phone!”
                Which of course is really like an abbreviated version of, “Hey young people, put down your f*%#^ing phones! Life is beautiful and you’re missing out on it!”
                Hopefully this new spin on an old phrase can get at least a couple of today’s kids to look up from their smart phones and say, “Oh my goodness, he was right. I’ve read about some of this stuff but I’ve never seen it before. It’s beautiful, the sky, the trees, the birds, the bees, we’re all living  in natures glorious tapestry unaware that we’re being weaved into… you know, I should really Tweet about this!”
                Put down your F*%#^ing phone! Please! Thank you.
