Your Eclipse Questions, ANSWERED

The eclipse is almost upon us, and there's a lot that people don't know, like "Who really killed JFK?" and "How many mice are living behind the oven?" You submitted questions, here are the answers:


Why does the solar eclipse happen?


A solar eclipse happens because God is angry with us.

Like pissed. Really pissed.

Humans have displeased God, so as punishment, the Moon will pass between the Earth and the Sun. This is a punishment, obviously, because big shadows are bad and scary.

 There's no way to know why exactly why God is mad, as biblical scholars are split. Most, however, believe he is pissed off because of either gay people or The Emoji Movie.

Should I look directly at the solar eclipse?


Do whatever you want, I'm not your dad.

Unless...

What if I am your dad? If I am, then you SHOULD look at the solar eclipse. I want you to go blind. I don't want you to have to look upon the face of the father that abandoned you, even if it was unintentional.

I know that's selfish of me, but the shame is just overbearing. I don't want you to be able to see me watching you from afar while you're playing in the park with your friends. If you don't see me then I won't have to approach you and apologize for not being there to teach you how to play catch or make crepes.

What can I do to see the eclipse if my employer won't let me leave work to see it?


If your employer won't let you see the eclipse, challenge them to a duel. If your job has a "no dueling" policy, tell them that your religion requires that you put on dumbass glasses and look up at the sky.

To do this, you'll have to make sure your religion seems legitimate. You'll need some sort of Bible, so get a blank notebook and write "Holy Book of Putting on Dumbass Glasses and Looking Up at the Sky." You'll also have to establish a website and/or Facebook page to make it look like your religion is actually established. Do this by creating events such as "Vacation Holy Book of Putting on Dumbass Glasses and Looking Up at the Sky School" and "Movie Night: Putting on Dumbass Glasses and Looking Up at the Sky's Not Dead." Lastly, create between one and one thousand deities that you can pretend to show devotion to. Some deity name ideas are Dumbassio Glassesion, Looking Up at the Sky Fella, and Phil. If you make it believable, your employer will be forced to allow you to put on dumbass glasses and look up at the sky.


Or you could just watch the eclipse through the window.

Who would win in a fight, the Sun or the Moon?


The Moon would win in a game of chess because the Sun doesn't have hands.

The Sun would win in a dance off, but only if they were able to pick the songs.

Neither would win in a sailboat race across the Pacific Ocean, because they would both end up working together and realizing that their friendship is what really matters, and not their silly grade-school rivalry.

How long can we expect the organizers of the eclipse to black out the Sun? Do the counter protesters have a permit?


The protest will last until the Earth gives Buzz Aldrin back to the Moon.

The counter protesters do have a permit, but they have been confined to a small section of the Earth called the Western Hemisphere.

Is this the liberal media trying to erase our memory?

The mainstream media don't want me to tell you this, but                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 because if you found out                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  with a spatula, or                                                                                     wearing a tutu

Summer Fun on a Budget

In case the several gallons of sweat drenching the inside of your astronaut costume hasn't told you yet, SUMMER IS HERE! For some that might mean several weeks of traveling, but for those of us who don't work for a pirate that pays us in treasure chests, we don't have a ton of time or gold coins to traverse the seas. If you fall in that category, like I do, this list will hopefully give you some valuable tips to enjoying your summer without breaking the bank. 1.) Discontinue the zero-tolerance illegal immigration policy. I don't know about you, but criminalizing people who try to get from one country to another is my least favorite thing about summer (or any season). Why not end this by getting rid of this discriminatory policy in the first place? Put on one of those old sundresses or some flip flops to look extra cute while doing it! 2.) Stop separating families at the border. Did you know that you can ride a roller coaster or go to a water park to hear scr...

My coming out post

This is difficult. I’m not usually vulnerable on here, but I need to talk about something. After being in the closet for so long, it’s time for me to speak my truth. As a writer, this blog is the best place for me to do that. And I really appreciate YOU for reading this. Being in the closet is in no way a fun experience. When you have no one to talk to it’s easy to shut down, to get lost in your thoughts. For that reason, I have a lot of pent-up emotions... soI’ll try to not write too much! I feel like I’ve been in the closet forever. But when it really comes down to it, I’m the same person I was when I was trapped in there. “Trapped” might seem like a strong word, but I assure you, I do not use it  lightly. When I was in the closet, I truly felt that I would never get out - and that often led to despair. Despite all this, I have no regrets - because coming out has only made me stronger. I cannot write this post without thanking my support system: my friends and family. Thes...

CULTURE MUSINGS: How is the new Aladdin different from the original?

This Memorial Day weekend, Disney released Aladdin, the live-action version of one of its most popular movies based on the life of U.S. President Warren G. Harding's youngest son. While the adaption mostly stays true to the original, some eagle-eyed fans might have noticed these changes in Guy Ritchie's remake. The events of the live action film do not end up causing the Hindenburg disaster. It is heavily implied in the 1992  Aladdin  film that the main character inadvertently creates a chain reaction through history that end up resulting in the 1937 explosion of the Hindenburg, starting with a chase scene at the beginning of the film. As Aladdin runs from palace guards, he bumps into a man who looks very similar to Ludwig Durr, the designer of the Hindenburg. John Musker and Ron Clements, the directors of the animated film, confirmed in several interviews that the man is indeed the airship designer's ancestor, and that Aladdin's collision with him has dire conse...

Emotion, Inc.

             Mel hung up the phone and stared straight ahead, replaying the conversation in his head. He knew he had to tell his boss what had happened, but how? There was a knock on his door and a tan face with a grin of shiny white teeth stepped into his office. “Ready for the meeting, Choly?” He laughed at an untold joke. “Yup,” said Mel, taking a deep breath. “I’m excited, we’ll get to hear how well we worked! And if not, boss always gives the best advice.” As Mel walked past him he gave him a forceful pat on the back. Mel just ignored him. “What’s wrong, friend?” “It’s nothing, Smiley.” The two walked down the hallway and towards the conference room. “Well whatever it is, I’m sure this meeting will cheer you up!” Mel suspected the exact opposite would happen, but he simply sighed. The two stepped into a room where a man and a woman sat at a long table. He and Smiley took seats next to each other, and as they sat dow...
