Heh. Glad there's a ride named after me.

TV is for Chicks
Cripes
Yeah, can't wait to stay at home to watch this tripe.
Are marketing executives aware of this entirely untapped marketing demographic called "men?"

Brilliant Wyoming Geniuses
This was at a bar no more than half a block from my old joint. Also a bar I frequented every day pretty much. ALSO a reason I carried more in Wyoming than any other place.
Good thing dar be dem minerilz in dat der ground like oil 'n kol. Odderwise youze Wyomin' folk be 'bout as rich as Haiti...wherez ma deezel pick up truck?
Heh, I doubt most people in Wyoming even know where Haiti is.

Divorcing the Sierra Club
Like an evil ex-wife that keeps coming back for more.
This is a lesson for all of you businesses (and husbands). If you're going to get divorced, make sure there are NO strings attached where the other party can come after you later.
Who would have agreed to such a stupid agreement is beyond me.

Why I'm Picking Christian Males Last for Kickball
About a decade ago me and some of my friends opted to go to a drive in. However, this drive in was special. They'd allow you to show up early, grill, play games, etc. etc. I always brought a kickball because there was always enough kids in the area to get a really good game going. Sure enough, this time it was no different. There was at least a score of young kids, you throw in my cadre of 20 somethings and we had 30 people willing to play kickball.
Of course, though, you have to pick teams. Which means you have to designate two captains.
Two of my friends volunteered and thus began the "picking of the teams" where the captains pick what they deem to be the strongest and most athletic people to be on their team.
Sure enough Chad and Tom were chosen, obviously the most physically fit and so I thought I'd be in the second or third round draft.
Mike was picked over me, which was kind of odd. He was fatter than me and he didn't run.
Hey, why is Bill get picked over me!? He can't even run!
Then they started picking our female friends over me and I realized what was happening. The two captains had conspired to pick me dead last as a loving jobke. Everybody was having a good guffaw at the ole Captain's expense as little 8 year olds were picked before me. 7 year old girls and boys were excited to stand next to me because they were getting picked over me. And finally it came down to two.
Me, a 5'9" full grown and in-shape adult male.
And a 4 year old girl who couldn't have been more than 3 feet tall.
Sure enough the little girl was picked over me, her face brimming, and everybody had a good ole laugh.
Now, of course this was done out of loving jest by my friends. And if it made the little kids feel better about themselves not getting chosen dead last for kickball, fine. But then I read this.
It has nothing to do with kickball, but a damn good reason why I'm picking Christian males who blame themselves for their wives' cheating dead last for kickball. Also why I'm picking them dead last as a foxhole partner if the SHTF and I need real men and real leaders to survive. You TAKING THE BLAME for your wife cheating on you???? Are you kidding me? That's the reason your wife cheated on you, because you're a freaking pansy! And an related aside, could you maybe advertise a little louder to our enemies in other countries and around the world just how cowardly and weak half the men in this country are? How you'll all just roll over for anyone and anything?
Even more unbelievable, the cheating wife (and uber beta husband) set up a website explaining the whole ordeal for all of us to see. Seriously, you just can't make this stuff up. (warning, the hypocrisy will make your stomach churn).
If the congregation will now turn their hymnals to page 323 where we will sing "Onward Christian Rationalization Hamster."

Lady's Night at the Cappy Cap Club
Sure, I know it's daytime here in the US, but the Cappy Cap Club is international. It's night time somewhere and our lady members always like to party.
Feminists will be dispatching their snipers to take out Susan because of this.
I love watching smart children manipulate their naive parents.
A superior culture does make for a superior country. Jamila continues her road towards being converted to the libertarian/consevative side of the force.
Hilarious, but language warning. And it's from a woman so take the complaints up with her. Also, "guzzle" vs. "earn" but don't tell Harvard professors that.
Oh, just wait for the collapse to happen. Then you're REALLY going to see some life expectancies dropping.
Tam has a somewhat similar shopping experience to mine at Trader Joe's, but this is at a book store. Guess which book the ladies wanted to buy!
Millions of years of biology of 50 years of feminist dogma - the choice is yours.
Video games, drinking and salsa dancing are all missing from her list. But she'll learn.
"I also apologize to your male peers, but there's a sad, sad irony here: those of your male peers who "get it" are pissed off, and rightfully so. But they actually have more options than you do. They can walk away, and they can handle the criticism they will face for it. They've been criticized their entire lives. They're used to it, and they haven't let it destroy them. The ugly truth is, they will do better without you than you will do without them." No, no, by all means ladies, please continue on. Men have adapted to this new environment, we're ready and waiting for Generation Spinsterhood. It will be awesome!
Dr. Helen has her book coming out soon. Hope she informs me when it's published!

People of Trader Joe's
Much as I would like to start a web site ala "People of Wal-Mart" but call it "People of Trader Joe's" I frankly don't have the time.
But with my most recent visit there, I shall debrief every one and give them a synopsis of my experience and observations there.
First, I like Trader Joe's. I don't know why more people don't shop there. The prices are GREAT, cheaper than most places and even though everything is "organic" it still is quality food at dirt cheap prices.
However, that is where the economist ends, and the normal, masculine, self-respecting male takes over. Because in order to avail yourself of said lower prices and quality food you must commit yourself to entering an environment that, frankly, makes you worried you'll get infected and walk out with a rat's nest beard and one less testicle.
First, and I'm being deadly serious, I could kick every guys' ass in the place. And I'm only 142 pounds at 5' 9". There is NO testosterone in the entire joint. Every guy is an emasculated putz. When we first walked in there was this one guy, at least 200 lbs, standing behind his multi-ethnic wife (of course). She was talking to one of the patrons about, who knows, the price of arugula. Spent the next 15 minutes grabbing what we needed, turned the corner, and STILL, there is the emasculated yutz, standing patiently behind his wife/partner, with the dopey look on his face, while she continues talking. He was bigger than me. Probably stronger than me. But you could see in his eyes he was weak, sad, pathetic. Wouldn't raise a finger and his glands could not secrete a hormone of defiance, self respect, or anger.
Second, NOT ONE WOMAN HAD MAKE UP. I started to notice this at first, and when I realized the sample survey I had taken of women had no make up, it became a vendetta to find one that did. NOT ONE. No, the women were all homely. They didn't care to look pretty, they didn't care to look feminine, it's almost as if they were purposely making a political statement that they didn't (I don't know) what, didn't care? Didn't want to conform? It's one thing if you're a 21 year old ditz majoring in sociology, but Jesus H Christ, these women were in their 50's and still carry on this crusade. It was also of meritable note than none of them had wedding rings either. Yeah, yeah, I know, I know, fish bicycle. Enjoy your cats.
Third, the ugliness factor. My girl and I were HANDS DOWN the hottest couple in the joint. And I don't fashion ourselves models or anything like that. It begat me to ponder a theory as to why that was. Why was a grocery store, of all places, a magnet for truly and genuinely ugly people? I have had theories about this before, that liberalism and leftism are the antithesis of competition, and since looks and breeding is nothing more than the more bane and basic form of competition, liberals always seek each other out in Uglyfests like yoga retreats and organic farmer's markets and art festivals to avoid such competition. But mercy, do you all have to converge at the same place I show up at a grocery store? And why the grocery store? I theorize it's because it's "all organic and green and politically 'cool.'" But that only further confirms my theory it's all about avoiding competition because going "green" is nothing more than the lazy/ugly man's way of proving his worth in society. It's like joining a club that requires nothing more than that you "care." "Oooh, look at me, I don't work out, I don't have a real job, I don't do anything, But I "CARE" Want to mate and make really ugly hairy armpit babies?"
Fourth, fashion. To my dear good Jewish friend who had his beanie on. Not only should you not let your kid run rampant over you while I have to endure the argument you have with him about whether or not he should get (organically crappy) candy. Do you have to wear WHITE SNEAKERS with a DARK RUNNING OUTFIT that is completely unnecessary because your gut and lack of sweat shows you obviously don't use them? Look, I'm "technically" Jewish through matriachical um..heritage Jewish thing. I have Jewish friends and relatives and loved ones. But as by all means a "non-Jew" observer, do you have to purposely wear crappy clothing? Are you purposely trying to feed the stereotype like my uncle? Put on some nice slacks. Or just some decent shoes. And THEN wear the beanie. I mean, my god, if I'm going to wear something that tells the world my particular religious affiliation, I'm going to at least make myself presentable to the public and not a disgrace in fashion.
Fifth, any thugs that want to rob a joint, dude, Trader Joe's is THE place to rob. No man, let alone, woman, at that joint is going to stop you. The men, like their clientele are pansified SWPL men. They'll cower, NONE carry guns, and again, if you're 140 pounds and have an ounce of testosterone you can kick their CUMULATIVE asses (and it won't be fair...to them I mean). They'll give you whatever you want. Also the women (and I am NOT being facetious here, I truly believe this) will actually politically support you robbing them. "Ohhh, the poor disadvantage person that has to resort to robbing a place to feed him and his coke addiction..err..."family." Hell, you'll probably score a number or two of frumpy hairy women intoxicated on the Helsinki Syndrome because you're the first real man they've seen in 4 months and are sick at looking at "Seth" with his limpy arms and goatee as her pursues his "Masters in Poetry." And you can get away scott-free. Nobody will call the "fuzz" because the fuzz is facist and besides, you displaying the first real sign of manliness just turned every girl on and they ain't going to narc on you.
Sixth, and finally, it's hypocritical. I saw all of you effeminate, emasculate putzes scoping out my girl. And, yes, I caught a couple of you "confirmed" feminists, scoping me out too. And I saw all you people in the parking lot envy my girl's car. Your human DNA and millions of years of genetic programming betray you. You REALLY don't like shopping there, at least for the prices anyway. You really don't like being ugly. You really don't like being who you are. YOu're just too damn lazy to change who you are and achieve your best. You find it easier to find solace in the company of other lazy people to rationalize your CHOICE to not try, not endure, not work hard, not sweat or toil. YOu find it easier to "race to the bottom" to rationalize your pathetic rank. And you all hide behind it like all other cowards who are afraid of life - behind political crusades.
You're all going "green."
You're all "caring about the environment."
You're all "caring about the poor."
BS.
You're all too lazy to go and kick ass and take names. And what's sad is you don't shop at Trader Joe's because of the prices. YOu shop there, first and foremost, because it's a loser's club. The economic rationale to shop there doesn't even occur to you.
I'll admit it's a harsh theory, but I'll rescind and retract this one when somebody comes up with a better one as to why such homely people shop at Trader Joe's. AND I don't want to hear any crap about how "insulting I am" because if I recall, many of you folk have no problem mocking the "People of Wal-Mart" when you don't realize you're just the opposite side of the same coin.

Who Wants to Hire Katie Underhay!
Not kidding. This is a recent comment on that post I made about that idiot who pursued a "Masters" in "Puppetry." She seemed hell-bent on getting her e-mail out there, so let's give her a warm Cappy Cap welcome.
Katie Underhay - email me at Katie.underhay@rwcmd.ac.uk for more information, if you are willing to be educated said...
I seriously think you need to worry about yourself before you worry about the careers and education of everyone else on Earth. Puppetry, like any other career (particularly the arts and theatre) is incredibly hard to get into. Having a masters degree in a subject is no doubt going to help employability and why shouldn't someone who is passionate about a subject which could bring joy to millions have to pass that up to become a neurobiologist? I am not "too stupid" to have a different career, but I like puppets. And if Jim Henson decided to become an accountant then I expect there would be thousands of children all over the world who would have found it a lot harder to earn to count, or about coping with death or accepting other cultures and ethnicities (all covered within Sesame Street).
I highly doubt you have seen War Horse, but Handspring (a British puppet company) developed beautiful and moving puppetry based on Michael Morpurgo's novel at the National Theatre Company and not only has this production moved from the national to another West End Theatre, it has also moved to Broadway and entertained and been a form of escapism for thousands of people. And if you think that something this spectacular on the West End and Broadway isn't worth educated people to be involved in it, PLEASE be my guest and insult Musical Theatre Degrees, Drama Degrees, Fine Art Degrees, Music Degrees, Stage Management, Theatre Design, Technical Theatre, because in your mind, these are all pointless, as is the theatre. I suppose if you think theatre is pointless, you agree that television is pointless? And that degrees in acting are pointless for the performers in your favourite TV shows?
I do not take insults to the arts lightly. They are often made by ignorant people who expect entertainment to come from nowhere. So unless you want to sit alone in a room being a banker (or whatever you do) with no artwork or posters on your wall, no music to ever listen to or even radio shows, no television, no theatre, no film, no literature, and no bedtime stories to read your children (which I doubt) then LIVE AND LET LIVE.
If you don't like the idea of a Masters Degree in Puppetry, don't take one! And stop worrying about those who do! Live is too short to worry abut people you think are idiots, therefore I shall stop thinking about you!
Seriously people, I'm not making this up. This IS a real comment.
Now, I have plenty of things to say, but instead, I'm going to take a different approach.
I'm going to let you guys eviscerate her.
Now keep in mind she is only a naive 20 something child who has no real world experience and relies on us real adults to work real jobs to pay the taxes so she can pursue a subsidized hobby whilst claiming (no doubt) to be an "independent woman" even though she is the veritable definition of a parasite.
So be extra special "affirmative action" sweet to her.
On a serious note. Cripes. Are people in this world really this stupid?

Ready the Vomit Bag
Mercy. Reminds me of a game I play. "Ugly or Unhappy." You play it by driving up on a Prius and you guess whether the driver is unhappy (usually frowning), ugly or both. You all make your bets and the driver passes the Prius, you peer into the Prius driver's window and confirm who was right.
Usually everybody, no matter what their bets, and no, I'm not making that up. I have 7 years experience in this game. You should try it yourself and see if I'm lying.

A Great Primer of Economics for Beginners and Experts
Howdy All,
I have been linking to a fair amount of Ludwig Von Mises and Austrian podcasts and I figured I'd just post the link to the veritable treasure trove of MP3's instead of piece mealing them out.
There is a TON of podcasts here, a lot of which are great for the beginner economist as well as some more advanced topics for the expert or advanced hobbyist economist.
Regardless, if you need something for your MP3 player while you're working out or taking a flight I STRONGLY recommending seeing what they have here. Should last you a couple weeks at least.

The Ultimate Retirement Solution - Moonshine
After the great economic minds of Cappy Cappites converged and discussed the retirement debate, I believe Ras Al Ghul had the "most appropriate" answer - make your own moonshine.
This is not to belittle or lessen the other answers/options because (as another reader pointed out) it WILL depend on the environment, you yourself and your personal preferences, and what precisely happens in the economy (complete rapid collapse or just a slow degradation).
However, I believe no matter where you go and where you are the ABILITY and SKILL to make booze will serve you well AND make sure the roving bands keep you alive instead of randomly kill you:
Please make a win-win-win decision.
Buy yourself the book so you can make booze and retire in comfort - WIN!
Buy yourself the book so I can make a commission - WIN!
Buy yourself the book so the author who had the wisdom to write this tome gets a royal check - WIN!

Proto-Crusaderism: Thomas DiLorenzo
An environmentalist is a totalitarian socialist whose real objective is to revive socialism and economic central planning under the subterfuge of "saving the planet" from capitalism. He is "green" on the outside, but red on the inside, and is hence appropriately labeled a "watermelon."
The speech is a must, but what irks me (and makes me proud at the same time) is how I spotted this crusaderism to be nothing but a ruse or a secret vehicle for delivering socialism long ago, but it was discovered and ID's so long ago by Thomas DiLorenzo.

Booze, Bullets, Currency or Metals
There has been some constructive debate here on Cappy Cap as to what to invest in given the poor economic outlook for the future. You don't invest in education because, well, who is going to hire you. You don't invest in fixed assets, because, well, they'll be taxed away or just outright confiscated. You certainly don't invest in a retirement plan, not just because stocks are historically overvalued, but there is also a significant chance the government will either rescind the tax benefits of those retirement plans OR just outright confiscate them ala Argentina and Bolivia.
So what do you do with a worthless piece of paper with Ben Franklin's face on it?
Well, there are so far four options:
Discuss and resolve which is the best.
On a side note, it was very economically and mentally rewarding converting a worthless piece of paper (with the additional dilution of Mr. Bernanke's recent actions) into a tangible good that can be used later. You almost feel guilty handing the paper over to some "sucker" willing to part with that tangible good for your piece of paper.
Oh well, enjoy the decline!

"Worthless" Now Available in the UK and EU
Apparently it was not before. But it is now.
Somebody buy the Greeks a couple million copies. Might actually solve their little financial crisis.

How to Snatch a Man
I know when men tender advice about "how to court guys" or "how to catch a man" or "what men like in women," the pre-programmed, visceral response from most modern day women is
"WHAT MAKES YOU THINK WE WANT A MAN OR NEED ONE??? I'M MY OWN WOMAN AND I HAVE A CAREER, AND YOU MUST BE SHALLOW AND LIKE SKINNY CHICKS, YOU PROBABLY DEGRADE WOMEN BY EXPECTING THEM TO DRESS UP IN LINGERIE, WELL, THAT'S NOT ME!!! I'M AN INDEPENDENT blah blah blah blah."
Of course, that night you're at home crying because you can't find a man.
Well, I've always had a very simple theory. So simple, it's complex. So simple it has evaded people because it's been hiding right there out in the public.
Why not just act like a woman?
Dispense, if you will, with the latest in feminist theory or ideology you've been fed and just think about it for a second.
Men and women are not only different, they are kind of designed purposely to be different to umm..."do things" together. They complement each other. Whether this was "intelligent" design or evolution, more powerful forces than you and an army of women's studies professors are at work here and, frankly, can't be overridden.
So the obvious solution would be to simply be feminine. Because, well, that's what men like.
No, no, I know, I know.
"Who cares what men like!? You don't need a man, and why is it all about what the man wants, and what gall do I have to suggest to you what to do and blabbity blah blah blah."
I'm sorry, my apologies for being so presumptive and misogynistic.
What time would you like me to drop off the Kleenexes later this evening when you're crying?

The Epitome of Psychotic
I'm being serious when I ask this question, and I ask a neurologist or a psychologist to answer it:
What is the part of the brain that malfunctions when you decide to deny reality?

Buy Silver Dollars, Not Booze
The Captain, as you know, likes to drink and is of course partial to the true nectar of the gods - Rumpleminze. And, if you are like me, you probably go to the local bar and buy two drinks per day. That, depending on tip and where you go, can easily add up to around $12-$14.
However, it dawned on me while running today that I really haven't acquired a significant "physical commodity portfolio." I put a couple calls into several coin dealers in town and the going price for a silver dollar is around $27.
Of course, I'm not one for discipline, but neither am I one for all out hedonism either. And every once in a while I like to put myself through a period of discipline to make sure I still have self control.
So I decree the next 30 days "Buy Silver Dollars, Not Booze" month were, essentially every other day you are allowed to go buy a silver dollar if you didn't buy booze at the bar the two days previous. In theory you will have acquired 15 silver pieces which (when the federal government fully monetizes the debt) will allow you to pay off your mortgage with one silver dollar.
Enjoy the decline!

The Political Science Department at the University of Georgia
From our young Agent in the Field:
I truly now understand why political science is such a worthless degree and how my sister is earning 10 dollars an hour at a job she got at a bank.
I checked out some of the PDFs for some of the classes and it's pretty much a huge joke. They list all the "books" you need in the syllabi which sound like the ones I can either buy cheap on Amazon or go to my local public library and check them out for free and read the same material at my own pace and learn it, or better yet, listen to talk radio. I've even Googled some of the authors of the books they recommend like John Stuart Mill. Shockingly enough, I discovered that a lot of the authors were either liberal or influenced by some Marxist writer or had ties to Marxism. Utter brainwashing. A lot of the authors suspiciously were Yale and Harvard graduates. In one of the courses, you can even read and learn about Karl Marx.
I like how his sister is making $10/hr. That's actually quite high for a BA in Poli (ahem ahem COUGH COUGH, WHEEZE WHEEZE) "Science."
Keep spreading the word young people. And as an insult or a "I Told You So" gift, you can always buy them "Worthless."

Male Equivalents of Unicorns
Har! Just found this piece funny. Will have to update the Manosphere directory to include.
Remember, people trying to deliver a dose of reality are just hating on you.
Stop the hate! Hunt the unicorns! Your own rich George Clooney is out there ladies! Keep searching!
