1234

Sweet. I've always wanted to be known as a terrorist. Thanks Iran! Yup, even Hiroshima and Nagasaki were part of the US terror plan. You caught us! Good job!
I don't know what to say... Of the condemnation, Paul Gimigliano, a CIA spokesman, said, "There are some things that don't even deserve comment. This is one." But correct me if I'm wrong, this was a comment.

It just doesn't sound very threatening now does it? I mean, unless it's that time of the month.

More PETA news. But pigeon poop is a big problem for the NFL? Let'em carry guns to shoot the birds. It'd be fun! You know, as long as Dick Cheney doesn't show up.

PDA. A huge deal. Whew, I just want to be invited to one of those pajamas parties!!!

Kids have constitutional rights? Oh, so in Columbine those kids were just exercising their 2nd amendment rights. Gotcha! When did high school have such complex clubs? I was a geek, so I know of the Japanese club, math league, and chess club.

When bans on backpacks get gay. I mean are those questions necessary? Or was that exemption really well thought out? And the protesting? Some good, some bad. Purses made out of tampon boxes good, running naked down the hall? Bad. Very bad. + paper bag on head? Yeah, that can only end badly.

Praise Scientology!

Alternative signs. Getting gay with the signs.

Suspcious activity? Like, uh, someone walking out of the bathroom with six rolls of TP? Of course with my criminal justice classes I've really got to wonder if TP theft on the rise or is it just garnering more new coverage?

in the morning of the magicians

Talk about a busy guy. I mean, work, work, work, work, work and work. Whew, when does he just sit back and have some fun? I'd love to see if *all* of those kids are his. Not that I'm contesting his claim but you've got to wonder...

He must use Garnier.

Talk about the worse way to go. And people are bitching about the death penalty? Hell, I say let them swim in Lake Havasu. Take a chance, get a brain eating amoeba. Geez...

High School Nudical, indeed. However, I'm more interested in Biel possibly being named as Wonder Woman in the upcoming Justice League of America movie. That'd be cool. Of course I'm still a huge Linda Carter fan but for appeal to the comicbook world, you could do a lot worse than Jessica Biel. *sigh* She's going to have a whole new set of stalkers...

You may want to use some contacts (see: damnedcat). At first I thought "What?" And then I gave it some thought and said, "Oh..." And I'm not bashing gays, but I got confused for a second when I read: "In addition to anal sex, other risk factors include having multiple sex partners, frequent anal redness or soreness and smoking." Which I took as frequent anal redness, frequent anal soreness, and frequent anal smoking.

And a C-section is implied in the story. 17lbs, that's like 7.72kg. That's a big baby! Developing normally? Uh, I don't think so. The most startling thing though? Not the biggest baby in history.

To die for. And if that's her picture, she didn't look that bad. What they're concerned about is surgeons that aren't plastic surgeons doing these procedures? Lipo is almost always an elective procedure, meaning that there is no medical problem but the patient wants it done. Shouldn't we be concerned the source of the problem and not the symptom? I say her family sues Cosmo and the cosmetics industry for implying that she wasn't beautiful. What can I say? I love frivolous lawsuits when I instigate them.

Hehe. I guess I just look for the funny in the headlines. I was thinking that this was the 9th child birthed in a car, not that the 9th kid was birthed in a car. I mean, by the 9th kid don't you think you should drive faster or something?

Eh, I'm sure the librarian had hear this excuse before. Besides, libraries are becoming a thing of the past (sadly).

Talk about being petty. It'd be cooler if he cut it down the middle (vertically), but I guess I expect too much from a 66yo.

Local News -
Who does the autopsy? And this is one of the platforms he's running on? Things sure have changed in my time. Used to be big issues like budgets, taxes, abortion, and national security. Now it's "I'll stay in office the entire time." Well, I guess the people of Idaho wished this was one of the issues Larry Craig would've promised.

57 minutes

Bringing the crazy to the table is Uncle Eric. How exactly does the butcher knife exorcise the kid? Well, I suppose if you follow the logic of finding witches then we're on the right track. Why, oh why does this happen?

Super dorky, but super hott. That's right. 'Hot' with two t's.

It took 40 years to fix this? Wow. As far as symbolism and all that crap... screw it. I think it's funny. The designer must've really hated the Navy. I mean he (I'm assuming the designer is a guy) must've known what it looked like and went with the idea, thinking that the Navy would never know until it was too late.

Where is this commercial? Grr. Yes, people are visiting the website but that's not the point of PETA (I think) is it? Well, it could be now but I don't think that it was point of the whole thing when they started it. And vegan? What the hell? Are we all just going to be sprout farmers? That's a lot of wetlands.

Well this just makes exorcism via a butcher knife look like a common sense solution. Quick! Hide Xenu is coming! Just for a few years. Boy are we all screwed if this is the truth...

oh the insanity!

It's not a laughing matter, but I'd guess they jump out to scare the crap out of people. I know that it'd scare the crap out of me.

It sounds like a Revenge of the Nerds plot to me. Oh well. I wish them to best of luck. Nerds need love too.

Yeah but it was funny.

And this is different than those guys that claim to be able to talk to your love ones from beyond the grave. ooOOoo.

GOMER!!! "Well golly Sarge!"

More sensitivity than I can handle.

His name is Finger? Try to get a license plate with that name.

I guess this was just a case of really bad laundered money. Against, you can't fool a stripper. Stop trying! Just give up the cash!

city

This sounds bad. Can't sterilize humans... Germs get all bad-ass in space, what the hell is going to happen to the space program?

Aw, that's so sweet. And complex. I was discussing my track record with crosswords and I probably wouldn't have gotten the message. That's cool though. Unique is a better word. Not to say that my Heinz proposal isn't a good idea. Here's the video.

So people are against it? Ugh. I understand that there can be some apprehension to the law because it takes away from the identity of your place. All of sudden you live at a different address? Not a huge deal. Call the newspaper and magazines you've got subscriptions to and change it. Of course I think the state should help out with the potential costs of this change but other than that why be mad? And somehow we've got a higher than average score.

Weird. This news story takes place in London, but the information wasn't given on the metric system.

Dink? What? I've never heard of it as a derogatory slur. I've got to use it. Huh, #6. So I want to try to get a license plate that says "Charlie" since it too can be a derogatory term for someone of Vietnamese decent. I mean "Charlie" seems like a worse word than dink. And for crying outloud! It's the guy's name! It's not like he changed his name to that, like if I were to change my last name to "gaybasher" for example. That'd be bad. That'd be really bad.

Huh. Nobody wants desert? I can't imagine why. I mean, it's only $14,500 for it. And what's the reviews on it? I mean I've had some good desert in my time and I've shelled out maybe $10, so it's not that much of a stretch for my budget.

words to live by

Procrastinator's Creed

1. I believe that if anything is worth doing, it would have been done already

2. I shall never move quickly, except to avoid more work or find excuses.

3. I will never rush into a job without a lifetime of consideration.

4. I shall meet all of my deadlines directly in proportion to the amount of bodily injury I could expect to receive from missing them.

5. I firmly believe that tomorrow holds the possibility for ne technologies, astounding discoveries, and a reprieve from my obligations.

6. I truly believe that all deadlines are unreasonable regardless of the amount of time given.

7. I shall never forget that the probability of a miracle, though infinitesmally small, is not exactly zero.

8. If at first I don't succeed, there is always next year.

9. I shall always decide not to decide, unless of course I decide to change my mind.

10. I shall always begin, start, inititate, take the first step, and/or write the first word, when I get around to it.

11. I obey the law inverse excuses which demands that the greater the task be done, the more insignificant the work that must be done prior to beginning the greater task.

12. I know that the work cycle is not plan/start/finish, but is wait/plan/plan.

13. I will never put off until tomorrow, what I can forget about forever.

14. I will become a member of the ancient Order of Two-Headed Turtles (the Procrastinator's Society) if they ever get it organized.

to eternity!

Not to bag on her but maybe if it was like seven years ago this would've been a good move. Since then... uh, not so much. I feel sorry for Matthew Perry though. Getting thrown from project to project now. And it's just going to continue.

Wow! It's not quite the story about a lovely lady. Although being a guy I will admit that it grabbed my attention and I might be tempted to purchase that book.

We used to call it hazing, but OK. Everyone is getting all squishy, sure it's a good way to make a few bucks but is it worth being considered a wuss? He'd be the type of guy to trip on a crack and sue the city. Get over it dude!

I'm a cheeseburger. Yup. Me. Crazy. Up next, typing causes carpal tunnel syndrome. Then, a new study reveals that seeing all sorts of f*** up sh*t makes you a little crazy. Poop, it's the waste your body expels from what you eat!

I'd hate to be around him for the next week or so.

Just like Arkham Asylum (from Batman).

Well I'm sure the lawmakers couldn't conceive this possibility. *sigh* There's a reason they have those "oversized" routes that you're supposed to take. And those helpful little signs that say - 13'6 - on the overpasses aren't just suggestions.

Ah, this is why I live in Indiana. No assault charges, just the robbery charge.

seven more

CRAZY!

from here

Just to say it, SEVEN DAYS! Whee!

There's no crying in the Army.

The color of money.

I never realized that there was such a high demand that there is a possible shortage. Weird. Things you learn.

You mean the fact that being healthy isn't the primary motivation for people to lose weight? I swear, if I see another one of these breakthrough scientific experiments about something human behavior I'll go insane. Well, more insane than usual. Oh, and hear it is. Here comes the crazy!

Maybe I should, you know, since I'm crazy and all.

So it begs the question, "who's stupider? The guy or the guy that followed him?" I thought that it was crazy to file a lawsuit against God, but I was wrong. I apologize.

There's got to be more than drugs involved. Seriously. A bottle of detergent, piece of wood, a rubber glove, and a vacuum cleaner? What the hell kind of party is that? And what? I'm not even sure I understand it.

Thursday, September 20, 2007

:-)

:-) is 25 years old? Gosh, I don't feel that old now. I remember when people used to end sentences with a smiley face =) like it was a punctuation. Ah, the good ol' days.

Yes, it's bad. When I was a kid I used to want to be a grown-up. Now that I am one, I almost wish I was a kid. Yes, I wanted to make my own decisions and I thought I knew it all (I still do) but my parents were rather strict on this subject. Now I have to face the consequences of my decisions and I don't have anyone to blame except myself. Enjoy being a kid, there'll be plenty of time to be a grown-up for the rest of your life.

Well, there's something to be said about this guy. Nothing good, but it must be one of those weirder stories a law enforcement officer can be involved in. Man, calls police to ask them to put out a press release saying they had seized drugs in order to cover his own ass with his "organization?" OK, sure, but we need you to come in for a full statement.

Crikey! This guy is a moron. I guess he'd be the type of guy to call the police about missing drugs. I'm disappointed that medical officials saved his life. C'mon people. A guy that puts a snake in his mouth doesn't deserve to live.

Bored? Well that would certainly break up boredom. I've got to wonder if he even used a weapon. Probably not, nowhere to hide it. He probably could've made some money from people if he just had a sign that read "Will put on clothes for money."

amelia

Ding, ding, ding went the trolley. To be specific the South Lake Union Trolley.

I guess there's more than one way to get a cat out of a tree.

That's learn him to start a fight with an armless guy. Ha. I mean seriously, the guy really lost against a guy WITH NO ARMS! That's like when Carol Channing beat Mike Tyson.

And the sky is blue.

Monday, September 17, 2007

sky clad

Boy would I hate to be the guy that had to serve this order. I've got to say though, this certainly got my attention.

Ah, the Internet takes another victim. Good for him, that's the best way to go. Doing something you like.

Allegedly? Well who else doused the kids in gasoline? Her lawyers will tell her to plead insanity, I mean with gas prices as high as they are you'd have to be crazy to use that much for such a thing. Really!

Trading in for a younger model is good for the species. Oh yeah! There's hope in the later years of my life.

Well, as far as anti-theft devices go, I'd have to say that landmines would be the most effective. Guy runs off with your TV, steps on an anti-personnel mine, boom, and loses leg, you get your TV back. Sure you've got to wipe off the blood, but it sure beats dealing with the insurance company.

See? TV is educational. If only it translated into degrees, I would have at least a PhD.

Saturday, September 15, 2007

over 50 cent?

I'd support this guy. That's just wrong, not taking tokens. I mean that's the point of them right?

Oh, so blame the fat guy. That's why ticket prices are "up." They spend more on fuel to shuttle the fats around. Yeah, a referred to fat people as "fats" so what? Deal with it. Lose some weight if it offends you.

Indiana, where some of the more interesting stories come from. Spiking the applesauce, that's good stuff. You can't make up stories like these.

Hand-powered? That's an interesting concept. A computer that is hand-powered. Back in the day we used to call them typewriters. The price on those (nowadays) are more than $200, and for a wireless one? Good grief! I guess the hand-power device is based off the animal association toy we're all familiar with... "the cow goes, moo."

I guess it isn't against the law to transport a live chicken in your trunk. Good, that's one law I don't need to see in the books. Still, I like this crackhead's excuse. You got it at a fast-food restaurant? I'd say if that's true the crackhead should sue the restaurant because that chicken was severely undercooked.

But what about for guys like me? Ouch, that's going to be a painful surgery...

There's nothing funny about this article. Hahaha. Can you imagine being pulled over by a guy named Santa? I can see it now, new public awareness ads with the tagline "Santa says..."

My question is, "can Americans fit in it?"

And what's wrong with that? I mean she was just visiting her boyfriend when her husband jumped onto the hood of her car. Geez.

Like Bill Engvall's story. And more quotes.

it's only saturday?

Is it bad when it's Saturday but I think it's not? That can't be good. Must be because of that damnedcat.blogpsot.com. Not to be confused with damnedcatblogspot.com. A promise to Zeb, I started to peruse through the site. I've got to say. I love it. Seriously. I mean, it's like one of those pictures that you have to be cross-eyed to see. I mean the liking of the warnings in the Bible to a "Bridge Out Ahead" sign? Oh! That just speaks to my heart! Can't you see the similarities? With the "Bridge Out Ahead" sign there are obvious markers that indicate that there is construction going on, and there's always the possibility to turn around. If the Bible is a "Bridge Out Ahead" warning, that's like having the sign in Washington (the state) for the collapsed bridge in Minnesota. That's just great right?
And if it's a truly prophetic, then let it be specific. "A nation to the east will emerge." Oh, wow! Look I'm a prophet! When something that says "Joe Smith, of 134 Main St. Pasedena, California will be killed crossing 34th and Madison in downtown Los Angeles, California on September 9, 2010." Then I'll be impressed when it happens. Otherwise, vagueness doesn't count as prophecy.

last request

OK. I've got to get this off my chest. School. Now I've got nothing against it. Good place. Place to learn, to make friends, and all that good stuff. Today was my first day back, had two weeks off, I enjoyed it. Now there's a sign on the library door that says that I can't bring in food or drinks. I understand the policy behind it, I just don't happen to agree with it. I mean, personally, I've led men into combat, gathered intelligence crucial to the war, been shot at, and blown up. All of which I've done successfully (if you're wondering) and yet I can't be trusted with a water in a twist-top container around a computer? Just because some moron with a sub-zero IQ can't handle something as difficult as water doesn't mean other people should suffer too. People, take the training wheels off, it's time to ride or fall down. Can't spend your entire life with floaties on your arms in case of emergency, either you can or you can't. If you can't, good, then you won't be able to pass on your defective genetic material to the next generation.
Secondly, since this was my first day back I needed to get the books for my classes this quarter. I showed up early because I needed to turn in some financial aid stuff. I had my class schedule but I needed a stamp from the financial aid office in order to pick up my books. OK, well, how hard is that? The bookstore was open, the financial aid people had enough time to fall off chairs, so I asked. I was told no. When I inquired why I was told, "because it wouldn't be fair to the other students." I stopped right there because if I continued that argument would only end with a gunshot. WHAT? What the hell does getting my books now instead a little bit later have to do with fair? Oh, I'm sorry, am I not contributing to the massive traffic jam later? My bad. I thought that I would alleviate some of the traffic by doing my "fair" share now. And no, there wasn't any shortage of books for my particular classes, oh, so someone that wasn't doing anything would have to cross my name off a list? I'm sorry, I thought that was part of your job. Hey, if you want I can do it for you. People some times. Think about the Big Picture. "It is the policy of the school." Isn't a good answer either.

Just look at this. I mean I'd get fired for violating that policy any day. There are things that are just plain stupid and don't need to be followed. Yes, I'm all for abiding by the laws. Most of them are in place to protect the people, the rest are just made up by a bunch of morons that I elect not to listen to. Don't call 911? For any reason? What the hell is that all about? Uh, guess what, I'm breaking that policy when I feel it is necessary.

Not what I was expecting but maybe that's just because my mind was in the gutter. Interesting. First students, now the babysitter? At least the kid was honest.

I love it when governments don't give details. No military nomenclature? No test date? No additional information about the explosives? Look, in my mind I tested this new bomb that was 4x as big as the MOAB that used this new explosive, but I haven't named it nor have I even bothered to do it in real life. C'mon, what's the point of having this bad-ass bomb if no one believes you?

Agreed. This guy got what he deserved. Dude, that's like walking around New York City earlier today wearing a white t-shirt with "Terrorist" printed on it. Who'd blame anyone for beating the crap out of them?

To answer this young woman's question. No, flowers in the background aren't props, it's "background" that's why it is the description. Yes, the tree is a prop. Good eye. For someone that's interested in acting, you sure can't discern between the two can you? That's OK, as long as you're pretty no one cares about the gray matter between your ears.

not so glorious

I supposed one could call it admirable. Like commending a serial rapist for his diligent efforts of stalking and hunting down his victims, his dedication to his hobby... Right? I mean, that takes a lot of work. Probably more than us "law-abiding" types would ever know about.

In a bit of randomness, on my part, I declared "what happened to Salt-N-Pepa?" I was knee deep in a discussion with friends that I didn't want to be in, so I changed the subject (correction: I attempted to change the subject) with one of my random questions. Of course a week later I get my answer.

OK, I'm making fun of the disease because I can. A 67 year-old has been battling RLS for 50 years? First, either both of them are just lame or second, it's not that serious. What if someone had been misdiagnosed with diabetes? You think they'd survive battling it for 50 years? Nope, drop dead within the first few years. Or maybe a malignant brain tumor? 50 years with a brain tumor. Listen people, RLS is the least of your worries.

Talk about mis-managing resources. A crime lab is involved? Someone jailed? Really? You know what, this just goes to show that bad things happen to nice people. She wouldn't have been charged with anything had she elected to "remain silent" but instead she did the right thing and told the truth. Now she'll have to go to court. I hope it gets tossed out. To go through all of that when you did the right thing? I guess morality and legality aren't the same in this case.

Old people are just cracking me up today. Especially because they took on a 20 year-old would-be burglar. This kid, trying to be cool worn baggy pants to the robbery. And what happens? Loses his shirt, followed by pants and underwear, and shoes before leaving the scene. Will be known in prison as the Naked Robber.

Either she is one HOTT 65 year-old or the clerk is a complete moron. Could be both, but how do you card a 65yo? See, those undercover stings makes things harder for these 65yo's.

wash it out

Well, two weeks ago I set upon two "major" projects. I can say with some measure of certainty that I completed one task, and I completely failed the other. I installed computer cooling fans into my entertainment center. Designed to keep all of my electronics nice and cool during the day. Got that done, easy-peasy. The failed project? Re-wiring my accessories directly into the car battery. Sounds easy doesn't it? I thought it was. Turns out it really isn't that easy. I kept blowing fuses and ended up spending like $60 on this project. With school starting up again I figure I'll have less time to work on it, but next time I'm going to wire the accessories through the car's fusebox. Hopefully that'll work. Worse case scenario? I blow all the fuses.

Thursday, September 06, 2007

military intelligence

MISTAKE? No, a mistake is leaving the lights on when you leave for the weekend. A mistake is when you wash a red shirt with a bunch of whites. A mistake is leaving accidentally wiring your car accessories wrong. This was not a mistake! It was a royal f**k-up. Heads are going to roll. The public will demand it, if nothing else draws their attention.

Huh. Now they can't even use the word.

Up next, prenatal ADHD.

Ah, the beauty of the couter-suit. Where a robber can sue the convienence store he robs because he slipped on a wet floor not properly marked. Don't you love this justice system of ours?

Why, oh why was there a need for petroleum jelly while driving? You know what? I retract the question.

They say it's never too late to go to college, but I don't know, there's always an upper limit. Hehehe. She's majoring in history. Probably because she actually lived most of it. "I remember..." Nah, I give props to grandma.

police squad! in color

Wow. It took a scientist to figure that out? Guys want hot chicks... No! Next you'll tell me that the sky is blue! "...above a certain level of attractiveness." Says it all people. Let's try to focus our research in more productive things shall we?

Well yeah, he's a good father. I mean, what kind of parent would he be to take a two year-old into a brothel? Oh, the kind that leaves them in the car. Right. Well, in that case not going to the brothel wouldn't be an option right?

Testament as to why you should never piss off truck drivers. Which is why I have a CB in my car. So I can figure these things out. Also why I worry when I do get boxed in by three big trucks.

Yo, Joe! And remember kids, knowing is half the battle...

good riddance

Like RLS or any other sleep aid I wonder about the US. Are we becoming that lazy? Yes, I believe that there's a small percentage of people out there that need the medication to help them go to sleep, but for the rest of them they are too lazy and want a quick fix which doctors are only too happy to accomodate.
"I can't get to sleep!" Oh really? Go for a run (a few miles, 10 or so) and come back then tell me you're not tired. Sweaty too, but you'll be tired and then BANG! like a sleeping pill you're fast asleep.
Ambien CR is one of the "sleep aids" people can take. Non-naroctic, but still filled with its own set of problems. One of the adverse side-effects of a sleep aid is sleepiness? Oh heavens! That's like saying a side-effect of cough medicine is the sudden disappearance of coughing! Not all side-effects are this severe though. This side-effect was also observed after the subject took the medication. MEMORY LOSS! Sweet Jesus! No! They're asleep and can't remember? Run for the hills!!!
In the fine print at the bottom of the page it says that sleepwalking, eating, or driving while not fully awake, with amnesia for the event, have been reported. I don't sleepwalk, but if I did I'm sure I wouldn't remember and I wouldn't attribute amnesia to the cause of that. I wonder if there was one case where the guy sleptwalked to the car, got in, drove to McDonald's, came back, ate it, and then woke up in bed with half an Egg McMuffin next to him and just didn't know how the hell that happened.
And the great thing too is that the withdrawl symptoms of Ambien CR are just like crack or any other illegal drug out there. Vomiting, nausea, cramps, and the shakes. Unpleasant feelings? What the hell does that mean? I guess that's better than describing it as "something."

standard options

Weekend recap: Helped my friend Joe move on Saturday. He didn't move very far, just to the other side of his apartment complex. Still had fun, and worked for food. I need to go back and fix his surround sound. Keeps cutting out for no reason.
Most of Sunday was spent with family in Ohio. Had my cousin's local wedding reception. Lots of family. Lots and lots. Met some of the new family too. Then got to see some of my newest cousins. Good fun, a little tired from running around with the kids.


Represent! 5.17lbs of wings! Geez! On a good day I could eat maybe 20. There's no way I could eat 173. In fact, I don't think I've had 173 in the last few years.

I'm worried about when the media focuses so intently on a particular subject. Not to say that it is a subject that doesn't merit concern, but to put it one after another? The psychology of it (to me) just screams that there's a rampant problem. Like they all got together at the annual convention and decided, sure let's all do it at the same time! Conspiracy?

Is it PC to call them terminally-ill? How about life-challenged or health-impaired? That's cool, but do you really think they want a camp? Wouldn't that money be better spent on... oh, say A CURE?

Steal a bridge? That seems like a cheesy plot from a James Bond-type movie. Maybe Austin Powers?
