Here Comes the Bride

(Special thanks to S.G. for "sending in this video)

All Wie Are (is) Saying...

Loyal readers of this blog will remember that the Doctor was having a mild panic attack last weekend because he lost his live streaming of the Solheim Cup. Well, thanks to friend Andrew's assistance, he found a stream and stayed glued to the action. Sunday nearly all the USA players had temporary tatoos on their cheeks in patriotic...red, white and blue.

Young super star, Michelle Wie's tatoo drew the Dr.'s attention. Pictured above, it was the "Peace Symbol" He wonders if Michelle was making a political statement. Is she anti-war? Does she believe in Peace? Does she even know (or care) that her country is at war in two countries? Or rather, as the Doctor suspects (fears) the symbol for Peace has become just another "fashion statement". If this is true...it would be sad and completely ridiculous!

Nora Plays: "Simply Ridiculous"

Nora (the piano playing cat) is quite possibly the most famous cat in the World. This video has been viewed on YouTube almost 15 million times. In this clip she is playing one of the Doctor's favorite tunes..."Simply Ridiculous" Never heard of it, you say...have a click and you too will soon be tapping your toe to its' catchy beat

King of Bares

This is the second and last entry on a very short series on "women's breasts". The Doctor has included this photo here because these ladies have gone "well above the call of duty" to draw attention to themselves and to the fact they really really love to drink beer.

(Would this be considered "soft-porn?)

National Day of Exposure

This story was sent to us by a loyal reader...

A rally was held recently in Central Park for women's right to fully expose their breasts in public. One of our "crack" technicians was at this rally recording readings on his Ridiculometer. He noticed (when he wasn't ogling the protesters) that the needle on the Ridiculometer only moved to "sublime". The Doctor himself finds nothing ridiculous in topless women. Just as Noah was heard to say as he loaded the ark..."Bring em on...in PAIRS!"

Where are the "subjects" of this story? Ridiculous use of the cropping tool by the photo editor! As our technician quipped as he filed his report..."I guess you would of had to been there" (I guess so)

Less Taste(ful)

This young man's "future is soooo bright" he has to wear weird glasses. He wanted to purchase a Ridiculometer, but we refused sale (check our conditions for sale in fine print) because if he touched one of our finely tuned Ridiculometers it might explode and we would be liable.

Ridiculous Fear (aren't they all?)

The Sears Tower (Chicago) might be a cure for the Doctor's Acrophobia. He might "write a prescription" to step out on this glass ledge to remove his unnatural and ridiculous fear of heights.

No Stream

So, as the Doctor has no cable and thus no access to the Golf Channel, he was happily watching the action of the 2009 Solheim Cup on the Golf Channel web site (live streaming). Suddenly the feed ended (as the television coverage begins.) This seems completely ridiculous...as why should it matter to the Golf Channel if the Dr. watching it over the internet or cable. Give him the same commercials...he would not mind.

The Doctor Revealed (sort of)

The TRUE identity of Doctor Ridiculous is a well guarded secret (not even known by himself!) He is no Super Hero...that's for sure! However, because of his overwhelming popularity, keeping his identity secret surely allows him to move freely among the general public gathering data for this blog and Ridiculometer research.
Aren't all toddlers pretty ridiculous? We (adults) encourage this nature. This early shot of the Dr. shows he was no exception. His "ridiculous" grin is him relishing in his ridiculous outfit (especially the hat)

Bear(s) Down

Smokey might be saying: "Only you (humans) kill the ones who love you"

WEST GLACIER, Mont. (AP) -- A disturbingly friendly grizzly bear that had boldly wandered through campgrounds and sniffed food and around the edges of tents has been killed after Glacier National Park officials determined the animal had become too much of a threat to humans.

One of her two yearling cubs died after being tranquilized. The other will be moved to the Bronx Zoo.

Park rangers shot the 17-year-old grizzly Monday about 300 yards from the Oldman Lake Campground, which was occupied. An hour later, the yearling cubs were hit with tranquilizer darts, but one died. Rangers had attempted to resuscitate the yearling by performing mouth-to-nose breathing.

"The unintended death of this yearling grizzly is a very unfortunate outcome of a very difficult operation," Glacier Superintendent Chas Cartwright said Tuesday. "The National Park Service will conduct a thorough review of the cause of death of the yearling, but we are also relieved to have captured the other yearling."

The adult female had a long history of interaction with people, and had never been too aggressive.

"Instead of avoiding people, it's almost like she's attracted to them," said Jack Potter, Glacier's chief of science and natural resources.

The bear used park trails and shadowed hikers. She could not be dissuaded from entering a campground by people yelling and waving their arms.

Potter said the decision to kill the bear was difficult, but park officials couldn't afford to wait until something really bad happened.

"Some people seem to want us to wait until there's a body before we act," he told the Missoulian. "We'll we don't work that way."

Over the years, bear managers have tried numerous ways to get the bear to stay away from people. But pepper spray, rubber bullets, specially trained dogs and other hazing efforts mostly failed. The bear did lay low in 2007 and 2008, but returned this summer and started following people around, Potter said.

This year, three separate incidents had been documented that could be classified as "repeatedly and purposefully approaching humans in a non-defensive situation," the park said.

The bear was demonstrating the same behavior Monday when she was shot and killed while approaching Oldman Lake campground, park officials said.

"Given the possibility that her offspring had learned this type of overly-familiar behavior and the diminished chance of their survival, we simply could not leave the yearlings in the wild," Cartwright said.

What If ???

The Ridiculous is (always) Also Sublime

The Doctor has spent the summer watching past episodes of "Lost" on the (streaming) computer. He missed or rather ignored them as they were aired on ABC the last five years.
He is nearing Season 5 finale and will be caught up and ready to watch the final season during its' regular time slot this winter.
The story that has unfolded is at the same time absolutely ridiculous and a fine piece of video art.
The story is fascinating, the acting is superb, and it is in total: extremely well crafted. However, the numerous twists and turns are so ridiculous that the Doctor advises removing your Ridiculometers from the vicinity of your televisions, as the registrations will surely bend its' needle and thus make it inoperable. (Remember: Bent needles are not covered under the extensive warrenty.)

Fight Over Health Care

Listen to the sound of it..."Fight over health care" Seems like a ridiculous thing to argue over. Reminds the Doctor of the classic bumper sticker: "Wage Peace" Is "Universal Health Care" too complex for us to "grok"? The Doctor has just returned from Glacier National Park. Due to global warming, all the glaciers in the park will be gone in 15 years (better get over there) Remember when there was a debate in Congress over climate change...now the politicians debate man's role in it, as we continue to have one of the worst health care systems in the world.

Vacation for the Doctor

Dr. and Mrs. Ridiculous will be 'incommunicado" for one week due to a much anticipated camping trip to Montana. Loyal followers of this blog will miss the Doctor's daily musings but he advises using your own Ridiculometers to search out ridiculocity for yourselves!
His personal ridiculometer is stowed right next to the bug spray, and he promises to return with many stories and pix of ridiculous-ness on the road. (This makes his trip tax deductible)

Please Stay Tuned!

What is Ridiculous???

Two things ridiculous here...
Not the UK co-ed...she looks good. The most obvious is that The University of Kentucky is playing hockey. The Wildcats struggle in football and basketball...sports that are played with passion by high schools throughout the state. Dr. Ridiculous has never seen a high school hockey game in Kentucky (Are there any?). But when he held his Riculometer near this poster it almost pegged the needle.

The model, Ms. Alison List does NOT look ridiculous in the UK hockey sweater. (Remember the Dr. loves her) What seems ridiculous is that the entire sport of hockey refers to their JERSEYS as sweaters . They are made of wool...but come on...it's a sport...it's a JERSEY!

Ridiculous Rat Tail

Political Endorsment

What is Ridiculous?

The Ridiculometer measures quantity of "ridiculous-ness" but doesn't identify its' source. In the previous post, the man (whose name is Charlie) seems to be upset at the ridiculous nature of the computer tent. His girlfriend (Sue) is using it to shade the sun from her computer screen. We might ask: "Why would anyone be using a computer on such a lovely day...by a fantasic swimming pool...with an awesome diving board?"

The observant among us (such as Dr Ridiculous) will notice that Charlie is holding the carrying case for Sue's computer tent. If he thought that the tent WAS ridiculous...he probably would have thrown the case into the pool. When we zoom in...we find what set him off (and the ridiculometer if he had it with him) was not the tent or even the computer (as ridiculous as they BOTH seem).

This Is Ridiculous

Computer Tent Poolside

The Gas Ain't Ridiculous

The gas Tiger Woods on the 18th fairway passed at the recent Buick is natural. The public reaction to this "event" registers well on the Ridiculometer. "A Fart Heard Round the World (wide web)
Following such a momentous eruption, Tiger might have had to change his BVD's in the clubhouse...but as we prove above, Tiger always wears a thong!
