Jonathan Winters was a comedy god when I was a kid. Everybody who does improv today should burn their B-material in his honor.

Made me laugh as a kid in Mork and Mindy but when I got older I learned how funny he really was. R.I.P. Jonathan Winters. One of the greats.

When he was on 'The Jack Paar Show,' #JonathanWinters would make Dad & me laugh so hard that we cried. Winters was brilliant.

This Guy’s Wife Rudely Left Him. What He Did With Her Wedding Dress Is EPIC.

Whenever a marriage ends, there is bound to be some negative fallout. Kevin Cotter knows that when your wife of 12 years leaves you, there is bound to be some (hilarious) revenge. His wife moved her possessions out of their home in Tucson, AZ, and left only one thing: her wedding dress, preserved in his closet. When he asked her what he should do with the keepsake worth nearly $1,000, she had only one response.

“Whatever the $%^@# you want.”

He obliged. What you see below are real uses of the wedding dress he posted to his blog.

That comment did the trick. The next month, when his brother asked him to go hunting, Kevin took the dress along. And that was just the beginning.

Perfect.

Anybody up for some sumo?

Yarr, it was the Curse of the Black-hearted Wife.

It’s a bride! It’s a pain!… oh no, it’s just a newly single and awesome guy.

He also turned it into a work of art.

Oddly enough, no one in the restaurant noticed or cared.

Then, he protected the interior of his car.

He also tried washing cars, but it turns out that wedding dresses don’t hold water very well.

You see, it’s helpful because the bustle holds up the end of the dress and keeps it from dragging the floor.

Kevin is now the world record holder for wedding dress jumps (that’s 37, by the way).

The only downside to using it as a parachute is that a wedding dress is all heavy and made from expensive materials.

Which makes it great at blocking sunlight.

People suggested using it as a slip ‘n slide. Little did they know, it was actually not great sliding material. At least he tried.

The dress wasn’t stiff enough to stand up well in the desert sand, but it was better than nothing.

The dress worked surprisingly well as a tow rope (helping him tow an SUV for over a mile).

Need to carry a baby or a dog? Easy.

This was Kevin’s first attempt at yoga. He couldn’t exactly place why standing on his ex’s wedding dress was so satisfying.

Tucson, AZ, hosts a Day of the Dead celebration every year. His costume was a smash hit.

He didn’t think the dress-hammock would support his weight, but voila: one of the best uses for the dress yet.

As it turns out, there are a lot of ways you can use your ex-wife’s wedding dress. Kevin goes into even more detail in his awesome book, 101 Uses for My Ex-Wife’s Wedding Dress. Kevin does teach us a lot about just how strong wedding dresses are (but they still aren’t worth $10,000), but he also teaches us just how strong people can be after a break-up. Especially if you can get creative.

Share Kevin’s interesting way to deal with a breakup. It’s pretty awesome.

David Limbaugh spots ‘good omen'; See how Dana Loesch is part of it [pic]

Buzzkill!

Author David Limbaugh spotted what he thinks is a good omen for his book launch:

http://twitter.com/#!/DavidLimbaugh/status/508971613124308992

Ha! No good omen needed: There is already much praise for Limbaugh’s latest book, “Jesus on Trial: A Lawyer Affirms the Truth of the Gospel.”

http://twitter.com/#!/michellemalkin/status/508983870377959424

Awesome.

Dana Loesch is readying for her own launch:

Yes!

‘Second look at child rape’ writer plays victim, says Romney insulted women

http://twitter.com/#!/CAwkward/status/373692222232752129

On Friday, the Washington Post published a morally bankrupt, stomach-turning puddle of click-bait calling for an end to the “fantasy that a high school student can’t consent to sex” with her teacher. See, writer Betsy Karasik was once a 14-year-old girl who knew other teens having “sexual relations with teachers.” And while “some feelings probably got bruised, no one I knew was horribly damaged and certainly no one died,” she insisted.

Anyway, you know who the real victim is here? Betsy Karasik, natch.

http://twitter.com/#!/PaintsNature/status/373654746730463233

http://twitter.com/#!/PaintsNature/status/373660920817262592

http://twitter.com/#!/PaintsNature/status/373706406781652992

Isn’t she brave for wading into the “shit storm,” faux victimhood on full display?

http://twitter.com/#!/PaintsNature/status/373641903985532928

Oh, we read the whole revolting thing. Should we have picked up on more nuance in an op-ed lobbying for decriminalization of child rape? Was the takeaway supposed to be something other than the normalization of sexual abuse?

Karasik will, of course, say that we’re distorting her words. Reminder: Those words appeared in a piece titled “Sex between students and teachers should not be a crime.” She now claims that title “skews the piece” — a piece that argues “consensual sexual activity between teachers and students should not be criminalized.”

http://twitter.com/#!/PaintsNature/status/373824289905995776

Really? It’s not, say, her broken moral compass that “skews the piece”? Karasik cites the example of a 54-year-old male convicted of “sexual intercourse without consent” with a female student. She was 14 years old at the time of the rape and later took her own life.

But hey, let’s let Betsy unskew:

http://twitter.com/#!/PaintsNature/status/373825307645448192

Oh, sure. Asking if there’s a better way to deal with predators than punishing them for child-rape is a much less vile approach.

WaPo has since changed the title to “The unintended consequences of laws addressing sex between teachers and students.” Presumably that’s a Betsy-approved headline.

More hole-digging clarification from Karasik:

http://twitter.com/#!/PaintsNature/status/373655750104457216

http://twitter.com/#!/PaintsNature/status/373656005835382784

She’s against “rape,” just, y’know, not if you go by the definition shared by everyone with a smidgen of decency.

http://twitter.com/#!/PaintsNature/status/373677485319135232

She also retweeted this:

http://twitter.com/#!/chicagostyle/status/373662998801297408

A 14-year-old girl can “consent” to sex with a man more than three times her age? The pedophile/sex offender lobby thanks you for your service, Betsy.

Her playing of the victim card isn’t surprising considering where she sits politically.

http://twitter.com/#!/PaintsNature/status/39095934784770048

Oh. Hell. No.

http://twitter.com/#!/PaintsNature/status/248200049685852160

Forgive us if we don’t give this gutter-dwelling lefty rape apologist the time of day when she wants to screech about a War on Women waged by Mitt Romney and the GOP. Feminists, she’s all yours.
