My Statement

"Let me emphatically say that I am not anti-Facebook (Fleecebook), anti-smart phone, anti-Microsoft, anti-Apple, anti-Google or anti-Internet. I do believe, though, that the consumer is being ripped off of his privacy, identity and purchase history. We are being herded into a Facebook corner where what we "Like" and where we go physically and on the net will be scrutinized and sold numerous times to actually corrode and erode our culture while tempting us only with convenience, high tech and flashing video screens. The unsuspecting consumers need to be aware..." - Gary Lapman

Mournbook ?


Newsflash: The Hong Kong government now offers the next (logical ?) step in cemeteries: a virtual cemetery. This is also the next step (if there is one) in social networking. The website enables users to pay tribute to dead relatives and friends by creating an online memorial page with pictures and messages. You can send virtual flowers and offerings to comfort the dead in their afterlife, such as virtual chickens, fruit, roast suckling pig and paper money.

The website, memorial.gov.hk, has been set up to help people pay tribute to their loved ones “anytime and anywhere online in a warm, personalized yet solemn manner.” and, of course, this gets shared by anyone that visits the site. It will only allow memorials for Hong Kong residents on record of having been cremated at public crematoriums or buried at public cemeteries to guard against pranksters creating bogus pages. A government spokesman said the free service had been created to meet the needs of modern society and to promote sustainable forms of mourning and burial.

Used to be that what you felt and expressed at a grave site was private. Now it would get shared. It becomes a social networking website. I would bet that bad feelings and even fights could be generated by family members that wanted to express how they REALLY felt about the deceased.

So you visit a dead relative's website memorial and catch a virus on your computer. Do you assume that the virus is an embodiment of your dead relative's spirit and to remove it, if you desire, do you need more than a virus remover, say a virtual priest to perform an exorcism ??

Song time
HEY DO YOU REMEMBER THAT OLD SONG BY ...JONNY HORTON...THE BATTLE OF NEW ORLEANS?...


Well in 2010 we took a lil trip
down to Arizona cause the Illegals were talking lip.

We grabbed All our guns... and put our Huntin packs on
and we met the damn Illegals in the town of ol Tucson.

We fired our guns but the Illegals kept a commin ,,,,,there wasn’t as many as there was a while ago
We fired once more and they began to running ,Down the Santa Cruz to that shit hole Mexico
Well they ran through the cactus and they ran through the stickers ....they ran through places a coyote couldn't go
they ran so fast Immigration couldn’t catch um...Down the Santa Cruz to that shit hole Mexico.

WE looked towards the South and watched Illegals come... there must of been a thousand of um throwing all there scum
They stomped all the trails ... and they left their trash behind
now it looks like a shit hole... when it used to be sublime.

WE fired our guns and the Illegals kept a coming,... there wasn’t as many as there was awhile ago
we fired once more and they begin to running,... cross the Rio Grande to that shit hole Mexico.

They crawl in at night and they sleep on the ground,,,then thay leave in the morning and they burn the mountain down
Id like to catch um once and kick some fucking ass... we dont want um, and thay can keep their grass.

Well we fired our guns and the Illegals kept a coming,,, there wasn’t as many as there was awhile ago.
we fired once more and they begin to running ... down the Santa Cruz to the shit hole Mexico.

We ran um ALL off now our streets are safe and sound,,, we can even let our kids back on the play ground
we built up a wall so to not let um back,, NOW come back again and you’ll be leaving in a sack.

We all want to thank the town of Tucson,, now were all doing just great cause the Illegals are gone.
We don’t see low riders or any brown clowns,, cause all the circus music has been run out of town.

WE fired our guns and the Illegals kept a coming,, there wasn’t as many as there was a while ago
we fired once more and they begin to running,, down the Santa Cruz back to their shit hole Mexico.

NEWSFLASHES...

NEWSFLASH:  AT&T is not making enough money!   Having to cough up much investment in infrastructure to support their monopolistic control over the iPhone (largest of the data hogs), now they have decided to back the subscribers into a corner by restructuring the charges for data usage into a tiered system.  It is as though they want to encourage you not to use the iPhone as much as you may have already.  So when current contracts run out or when new ones (as for the new iPhone 4), subscribers will pay though the nose for data usage habits that they've become accustomed to when data charges were still high, but for unlimited usage.  Still another reason to dump AT&T and choose another carrier.  It is really too bad that Apple did not open up the iPhone to all carriers.

NEWSFLASH2: Obama says that white people don't like angry black men, so he's looking for an "ass to kick" over the Gulf crisis.  The REAL culprit here is congress, the previous administration (which was certainly in bed with big oil), the Bureau of Mineral Management (more graft here), and finally the oil companies (particularly BP).  So what is it that I REALLY don't understand ?  Why has BP upwards of 300 times as many safety violations as the other oil companies, AND we still let them do business in our economic sphere ?  Who was REALLY asleep during this one ?  What certainly hurts, though, is rolling a few heads won't fix the damage that has been done- not even the damage that we know about!



Guys are helpful-
I was in Lowe's the other day pushing my cart around when I collided with a young guy pushing his cart.

 I said to the young guy, "Sorry about that. I'm looking for my girl friend and I guess I wasn't paying attention to where I was going."

 The young guy says, "That's OK. It's a coincidence. I'm looking for my wife. I can't find her and I'm getting a little desperate."

 I said, "Well, maybe we can help each other. What does your wife look like?"

 The young guy says, "Well, she is 24 years old, tall, with blond hair, big blue eyes, long legs, big boobs, and she's wearing tight white shorts, a halter top and no bra. What does your girl look like?"

 I said, "Doesn't matter --- let's look for yours."

 Most of us old guys are helpful like that.
   




Two women go out one weekend without their husbands. As they came
back, right before dawn, both of them drunk, they felt the urge
to pee. They noticed the only place to stop was a cemetery.
Scared and drunk, they stopped and decided to go there anyway.

The first one did not have anything to clean herself with, so she
took off her panties and used them to clean herself and discarded
them.

The second not finding anything either, thought "I'm not getting
rid of my panties..." so she used the ribbon of a flower wreath
to clean herself.

The morning after, the two husbands were talking to each other on
the phone, and one says to the other:

"We have to be on the look-out, it seems that these two were up
to no good last night, my wife came home without her panties..."

The other one responded: "You're lucky, mine came home with a
card stuck to her ass that read, "We will never forget you."

Bubba Pump....

These are funny, but the reason that caused them to be created is WAY not:









All I can think of to say that this is part of a side of our culture that I'm not really fond of.  Are these considered political cartoons or commentary ?  Are these created by the same people that rush to disasters just to sell t-shirts with local picture on them ?

Monday Blues...

I didn't want to get up this morning, and by later on, I was almost sorry I did.
 
FLASH: I just heard that Joran van der Sloot's father recently passed away from a heart attack.  Not that I feel sorry for Joren in any fashion whatsoever, but now he has absolutely nobody in his corner.  


An unusual day today, as it is very slow going.  Requirements are not ready or adequate to keep working in the direction we have been.  It will be tough to keep busy today, and possibly until Wednesday....

FLASH 2: A funeral home in South Carolina has been shut down after admitting that they cut the legs off of a 6' 7" man so that he would fit into his casket. The funeral home said, "In our defense, we tried it first with holes cut for the feet to stick out, but that just looked ridiculous".

FLASH 3: According to Peru's Environment Ministry, over 12 million cubic meters of raw sewage are dumped into Lake Titicaca every year. When asked about it, America's junior high school students all agreed that they when they first heard of this place, they had always hoped that the lake was full of titties... 

FLASH 4: Something in the economy has to break loose (besides the gusher in the Gulf).  I just heard today that because we haven't been building new homes, and many of the foreclosed ones have been torn down, we very-well could be facing a housing shortage in the near future.  What that means (thank goodness) is that existing homes should go up in value!

Hoo ray...



Abe, an old Jewish man, was dying.
On his deathbed, he looked up and said,
"Is my wife here?"
His wife replies: "Yes, dear, I'm here, next to you.."
So Abe asks, "Are my children here?"
"Yes, daddy, we're all here," say the children.
Abe inquires, "Are my other relatives also here?"
And they say, "Yes, we are all here..."
So Abe sits up and yells,
"THEN WHY IS THE LIGHT ON IN THE KITCHEN?!?"


A wife says to her husband one weekend morning, "We've got such a clever dog. He brings in the daily newspapers every morning." Her husband replies, "Well, lots of dogs can do that." The wife responded, "But we've never subscribed to any!"

As an elderly lady sat on her front porch reflecting on her long life, a Fairy Godmother suddenly appeared and offered to fulfill three wishes for her.

"Well," said the woman, "I guess I'd like to be rich."
POOF: The Fairy Godmother turned her rocking chair into solid gold.

"And I wouldn't mind being a young and beautiful princess."
POOF: The Fairy Godmother turned the old woman into an exquisite young princess, with a priceless crown of jewels.

"Your third wish?" asked the Fairy Godmother. "Could you possibly turn my wonderful dog into a handsome prince?"
POOF: There, in front stood the most handsome young man anyone had ever seen. She stared at him in awe, completely smitten.

As he came toward her, her knees weakened. He bent down, brushing his lips across her ear as he whispered, "I bet you are sorry you had me neutered."

A guy was looking at the classified ads in Florida and saw an ad that says “Talking Dog $20.” So he goes to the house listed in the ad and asks the owner what the deal was with the talking dog.  The owner said he was in the back bedroom.   Sitting on a bed with a tv remote in hand, the dog looks up and says, “Hey, how you doing?”
The guy is flabbergasted, “You’re really a talking dog! What heck are you doing here in Florida?”
“Well,” the dog says, “let me tell you.”
“I was at Ground Zero on 9/11 and helped save people who were buried in the debris. Then I was in the Gulf War for a while bringing medicine to injured soldiers. Then I helped sniff for terrorist bombs at the JFK. Then I was on Broadway in Riverdance. Then I helped patrol the border and sniff out drug runners before my partner got shot. It all just got to be too much.  So I retired down here.”
The guy goes out into the other room and says, “This is amazing. How can you sell a dog like that for only twenty dollars?”
The owner replies loud enough for the dog in the other room to hear, “Cause he’s a BIG LIAR!”

Palin Rings True...

"There's nothing clean and green about your misguided, nonsensical radicalism, and Americans are on to you as we question your true motives."
Sarah Palin, writing on her Facebook page, saying environmentalists are responsible for the oil spill because they keep oil drilling away from safer places to drill.

There is a joke if I ever heard one. Do you ever remember looking at an expensive piece of modern art and saying "I could do that, easily, and make a lot of money." ?  After all it is just spattering paint on a canvas and has no real rhyme or reason or resemblance to anything short of what you can conjure up in your mind's eye. Somehow I feel that Sarah Palin is that same category. How ridiculous can you get, and still run for vice president and author a book and convince people, many people, to pay to hear you speak.  Come on now, all we have here is an Alaskan box-of-hair.  I REALLY expected her to just disappear from the media after that barely-an-election.  If this was the best that the Republicans can drum up, they are REALLY in trouble.  Meanwhile, it still appears as though she is their BEST (?) hope (I don't know what for though).  I suppose her quote could be likened to Global Warming being the result of protecting the Spotted Owl.  The location of where oil exists really has absolutely nothing to do with the safety at which we attempt to extract it.  Granted, if the well was on shore, it would be easier to deal with, but all the more reason to build more safety mechanisms and oversight into the difficult ones.
    

"The government will be requiring new food labels that are more
specific. Products will now be labeled 'no fat,' low fat,
'reduced fat,' and 'fat, but great personality'"
 - Michael Feldman




A guy was in New York on a business trip and decided to head to a
local bar for a drink. Standing outside the bar was a nun
holding a tin cup.

As the man threw a few bucks into her cup the nun launched into a
long tirade about the evils of alcohol. She went on and on about
how alcohol was tearing apart the fabric of society and how it
was the root of all the city's problems.

Slightly pissed off at having to listen to this, the guy said,
"Listen sister, I work hard for my money and sometimes at the end
of a long day I like a drink or two. That doesn't make me a bad
person. I have a wife I idolize and two wonderful kids at home. I
provide for my family, I volunteer my time to several local
service clubs and I contribute regularly to various charities.
Yet you stand here and condemn me just because I drink the
occasional glass of scotch!"

The nun was slightly taken aback and replied, "I see your point
my son and I apologize if I offended you but the alcohol is such
a powerful demon that all who consume it are doomed..."

"Look there you go again," said the man, "How can you make such a
sweeping statement. Have you ever even TRIED alcohol?"

"Of course not!" gasped the nun, "The evil alcohol has never
touched my lips."

"Do you really think that one glass of booze can change you from
a devout nun to some kind of evil degenerate?"

"Well, I really don't know ...."

"I'll tell you what, come into the bar with me and I'll buy you a
drink. One drink. I'll prove to you that "evil" is not inside the
glass, it's inside the person."

"Oh I could never be seen going into such a den of inequity, it's
out of the question. However, your comment about evil residing in
the person rather than the glass is quite intriguing. I must
admit you've aroused a curiosity in me."

"Well let's go inside and settle this"

"No my son, I could never enter such a place... but how about
this. Take my tin cup with you and fill it with this "scotch" you
mentioned. Bring it out to me and I'll try it."

"You're on!" said the guy.

The nun removed all the change and handed him the tin cup. He
went into the bar and said to the bartender, "Two scotch on the
rocks, and could you put one of them in this tin cup please"

The bartender sighed and said,

"Is that damned nun out there again!"

Understanding Engineers - Take One

Two engineering students were walking
across the campus when one said, 'Where did you get such a great bike?'
The second engineer replied, 'Well, I
was walking along yesterday minding my own business when a beautiful woman rode
up on this bike. She threw the bike to the ground, took off all her clothes and
said, 'Take what you want.'
The second engineer nodded approvingly, 'Good
choice; the clothes probably wouldn't have fit.'

Understanding Engineers - Take Two
To the optimist, the glass is half full.
To the pessimist, the glass is half empty.
To the engineer, the glass is twice as
big as it needs to be.

Understanding Engineers - Take Three

A priest, a doctor and an engineer were
waiting one morning for a particularly slow group of golfers. The engineer fumed,
'What's with these people? We've been waiting for 15 minutes!'
The doctor chimed in, 'I don't know, but
I've never seen such ineptitude!'
The priest said, 'Hey, here comes the
green keeper. Let's have a word with him.'
'Hi George, what's the matter that group
ahead of us? They're rather slow, aren't they?'
The green keeper replied, 'Oh, yes, that's
a group of blind fire-fighters. They lost their sight saving our clubhouse from
a fire last year, so we always let them play for free anytime.'
The group was silent for a moment. Then
the priest said, 'That's so sad. I think I will say a special prayer for them tonight.'
The doctor said, 'Good idea. And I'm going
to contact my ophthalmologist friend and see if there is anything he can do for
them.'
The engineer said, 'Why can't they play
at night?'
 
Understanding Engineers - Take Four
A man in a hot air balloon realized he
was lost. He reduced altitude and spotted a woman below. He descended a bit more
and shouted, 'Hey, can you help me? I promised a friend I would meet him an hour
ago, but I don't know where I am.'
The woman below replied, 'You are in a
hot air balloon hovering approximately 30 feet above the ground. You are between
40 and 41 degrees north latitude and between 59 and 60 degrees west longitude.'
'You must be an engineer,' said the balloonist.
'I am,' replied the woman, 'How did you
know?'
'Well,' answered the balloonist,' everything
you told me is, technically correct, but I have no idea what to make of your information,
and the fact is I am still lost. Frankly, you've not been much help so far.'
The woman below responded, 'You must be
a Democrat.'
'I am,' replied the balloonist, 'but how
did you know?'
'Well,' said the woman, 'you don't know
where you are or where you are going. You have risen to where you are due to a large
quantity of hot air. You made a promise, which you have no idea how to keep, and
you expect people beneath you to solve your problems. The fact is you are in the
same position you were in before we met, but now, somehow, it's my fault.'

Understanding Engineers - Take Five
What is the difference between Mechanical
Engineers and Civil Engineers?

Understanding Engineers - Take Seven
One day, an engineer was crossing a road
when a frog called out to him and said, 'If you kiss me, I'll turn into a beautiful
princess'.
He bent over, picked up the frog and put
it in his pocket. The frog spoke up again and said, 'If you kiss me and turn me
back into a beautiful princess, I will stay with you for one week.'
 The engineer took the frog out of his
pocket, smiled at it and returned it to the pocket. The frog then cried out, 'If
you kiss me and turn me back into a princess, I'll stay with you and do ANYTHING
you want.'
Again the engineer took the frog out,
smiled at it and put it back into his pocket. Finally, the frog asked, 'What is
the matter? I've told you I'm a beautiful princess; I'll stay with you for a week
and do anything you want. Why won't you kiss me?'
The engineer said, 'Look. I'm an engineer.
I don't have time for a girlfriend, but a talking frog, now that's cool.

Facebook downfall....

I just heard that someone has a class-action suit against Facebook for privacy issues.  It seems that if anyone clicks on an ad while logged into their account, Facebook sends them a header with enough information to get back to your page AND login.  At that point, ALL the information on your page is available to them, no matter what your privacy issues are set to. 

What I don't understand is why would people put things on their page that their privacy settings would keep people from seeing ?  What good is it ?  Do I need another time sink not that broadcast TV is so bad that I won't just watch whatever is on ???


I look at is a much different way: I think Facebook is an affront to my private time.  Everyone wants to be my friend- even people I don't know.  DO I really want to commit that much time to broadcasting every detail of my existence to umpteen people that have nothing better to do ?  Gimme a break, I mean, GIMME a break.  I got an account so I can see my daughter's page and protect her from revealing too much.  Any more time that they want me to devote to my "friends" is just way over the top as far as I'm concerned.

How many more incidents of privacy lapses or identity theft will it take before we figure out that keeping something private means NOT telling anyone? 




Last night we watched "Alice in Wonderland".  We were pleasantly surprised that it was better than expected.  Unfortunately, it was "quite" obvious as to what was missing or wrong with the movie.  It really could have been SO much better with so little change.



An Arab was walking through the Sahara desert, desperate for
water, when he saw something far off in the distance. Hoping to
find water, he walked towards the image, only to find a little
old Jewish man sitting at a card table with a bunch of neckties
laid out on it.

The Arab asked "Please, I'm dying of thirst, can I have some
water?"

The man replied, "I don't have any water, but why don't you buy a
tie? Here's one that goes nicely with your robes."

The Arab shouted, "I don't want a tie, you idiot, I need water!"

"OK, don't buy a tie. But to show you what a nice guy I am, I'll
tell you that over that hill there, about 4 miles, is a nice
restaurant owned by my brother. Walk that way, he'll give you all
the water you want."

The Arab thanked him and walked away towards the hill and
eventually disappeared.

Three hours later the Arab came crawling back to where the man
was sitting behind his card table. He said "I told you, about 4
miles over that hill. Couldn't you find it?"


The Arab rasped "I found it alright. He wouldn't let me in
without a tie."




Paddy & Murphy worked together
and both were laid off, so they went to the unemployment office. Asked his occupation, Paddy said, "Panty Stitcher. I sew the elastic onto ladies cotton panties."

The clerk looked up panty stitcher and found it classified as unskilled labor, so she gave him seventy-five pounds a week employment pay.

Murphy was asked his occupation. "Diesel fitter" he replied. Since diesel fitter was a skilled job, the clerk gave Murphy one hundred and fifty pounds a week.

When Paddy found out, he was furious. He stormed back into the office to find out why his friend and co-worker was collecting double his pay. The clerk explained, "Panty stichers are unskilled and diesel fitters are skilled labour."

"What skill?" yelled Paddy. "I sew the elastic on the panties, Murphy puts them over his head and says, 'yah, diesel fitter.'"






Things to Remember

We cannot see the future. We cannot change the past. We can only
live in the now with an eye towards gaining enough power in the
future to wreak revenge on everyone who ever screwed us in the
past.

Dreaming frees the soul, energizes the spirit and allows you to
do things that would get your ass thrown in jail if you really
tried them.

Love means never having to say, "Does that twenty include the
spanking?"

To truly love another, you must first love yourself. And it
wouldn't kill you to wash your hands in between either.

A little bit of love goes a long way in our lives. It can provide
us with higher highs and lower lows. But, if it comes with a
persistent burning sensation, see your physician.

When it becomes a crime to love, you should probably consider
dating outside the family.

If Life hands you lemons today, smile and give thanks. Then when
Life isn't looking, give him a quick knee to the groin. That'll
learn him.

They say a smile is a gift which is free to the giver and
precious to the recipient. But giving the finger is free, too,
and I find it more personal and sincere.


TEN THINGS YOU SHOULD NOT PUT ON YOUR JOB RESUME.
1. Your high school class voted you "Most Likely to be Found on a Tower with a Rifle."
2. You have a degree as a dietitian from the Hannible Lecter School of Medicine.
3. ANY details about your job experience in continuity assurance and quality control at a hog breeding facility.
4. Any student organizations you belonged to that have the words Satan, Armageddon, or beastiality in their titles.
5. You were fired from your last job for committing an unnatural act with the entire sales department.
6. You were fired from your last job for making obscene telephone calls to Barney from a company phone.
7. You were fired from your last job for attempting a hostile takeover involving the 81st. Airborne.
8. You filed a discrimination suit against your last employer because of their policy against employees wearing crotchless business suits, and won.
9. You quit your last job after your boss rejected your suggestion for staging public floggings of late employees.
10. Your hobbies include taking massive quantities of hallucinogens and then working on your chainsaw collection.

It is really good that it's Friday, because I'm really ready....

I am really disturbed today: 1) I spoke to my barber who lives in Carpinteria and he said that he voted (absentee, of course) to allow oil drilling on the bluffs.  He said that the city and the schools need the money.  He also said that most Carpinterians feel the same way. 2) I heard on the radio this morning that BP had successfully began pumping oil up to a ship.  What is their goal, saving the oil or saving the environment ?  I have the distinct impression that saving the oil is more important to them.  3) Apparently, van der Sloot was captured, and Aruba is doing nothing.  Someone in the US contacted him to pay $250,000 for the location of Natalee Holloway's body.  A down payment of $15k was made to a bank in the Netherlands.  Why did we wait so long to try this ?  Why isn't Aruba doing anything ?  The GOOD thing here is that he will never get out of Peru's prisons.  He has no rights in Peru and there are no extradition agreements with the Netherlands.







The sign reads:

       WE WOULD RATHER DO BUSINESS
       WITH 1000 ARAB TERRORISTS
         THAN WITH A SINGLE JEW.

This sign was prominently displayed in the window of a business
in Philadelphia. Most would be outraged at the thought of such an
inflammatory statement...

One would think that anti-hate groups from all across the country
would be marching on this business and that the National Guard
might have to be called to keep the angry crowds back...

But, perhaps in these stressful times one might be tempted to let
the proprietors simply make their statement. We are a society who
hold Freedom of Speech as perhaps our greatest liberty and after
all it is just a sign...

You may be asking what business would dare post such a sign?

"The BP president said yesterday that the company would survive. That's like someone running over your dog and saying, 'Don't worry, my car is fine.'" —Jimmy Fallon




"BP wants Twitter to shut down a fake BP account that is mocking the oil company. In response, Twitter wants BP to shut down the oil leak that's ruining the ocean." —Jimmy Fallon

"A new poll found that 43 percent of Americans think President Obama is doing a good job at handling the BP oil spill. Of course, the same poll found that 43 percent of Americans hate pelicans." –Jimmy Fallon

"And today at a press conference, Obama said that the government does not have better technology than BP. That's a nice thing to announce to the world, that our government has fewer resources than a company that tried to plug a hole with a 'top hat.'" –Jimmy Fallon

"Well, folks, here's the latest update. I guess this is good news. BP officials say the 'top kill' plan is working. The bad news — BP officials are a bunch of lying weasels." –Jay Leno  





"Scientists say they have developed a car that can run on water. The only catch is, the water has to come from the Gulf of Mexico." -Jay Leno

"I love this. On the news today, the CEO of British Petroleum says he believes the overall environmental impact of this oil spill will be very, very modest. Yeah. If you live in England!" –Jay Leno

"BP has inserted a siphon tube into the well to suck up all the oil from the spill. And they've had a lot of experience in this area, by the way. This is the same tube they've been using to suck the money out of our wallets for the past 50 years." –Jay Leno

"What they're going to do is they're going to suck all of that oil that's leaking into the gulf and pump it up into a tanker. Now the bad news is the tanker is the Exxon Valdez." –David Letterman

"In Louisiana, BP claims that it's making progress with the leaking oil in the Gulf. They're working on a plan to heat the Gulf up to 600 degrees and use it to fry chicken." –Jimmy Kimmel



"Have you been following the big oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico? Or as we call it now, the Dead Sea." –David Letterman

"There is so much oil now in the Gulf of Mexico, and you can thank the folks of British Petroleum for this, so much oil in the Gulf, you can now park on it." –David Letterman

"And tar is washing up onto the beaches — big globs of tar. And people are saying, 'Is that going to ruin our summer at the beach?' No, of course not. You take the big blobs of tar and you use them to hold down your blanket." –David Letterman

"This oil spill in the Gulf is affecting everybody. In fact, when I went to lunch this weekend and ordered the sea bass, they asked if I wanted it regular or unleaded." —David Letterman

"British Petroleum said today that if this spill gets worse, they may soon have to start drilling for water." —Jay Leno

"Dick Cheney's pals at Halliburton ... say they're going to do the underwater cement job to plug the hole. I thought, wait a minute, this is a mistake. Underwater cement? You call the mafia. Am I right?" —David Letterman

"The oil company said it was the rig company's fault. The rig company said it was Halliburton. And somehow, each time they passed the blame, Goldman Sachs made a hundred million dollars." —Bill Maher

"We're still dropping things on it. This is like if your toilet overflowed and you tried to fix it by smashing it with a brick. Their next idea is to get the old lady from Titanic and she's going to throw her jewelry at it." —Bill Maher, on the oil spill in the Gulf

"You folks been following the big British Petroleum oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico? I'm telling you, British Petroleum has put more birds in oil than Colonel Sanders." —David Letterman

"They say the oil spill has the potential to kill more wildlife than a Sarah Palin hunting trip." —David Letterman

"This is the worst thing to happen to beaches since the Speedo." —Bill Maher, on the oil spill on the Gulf of Mexico

"The plan is to contain the oil slick with fire-retardant beams, and then set fire to the oil that pools on the surface. They say if it works there in the Gulf, they're going to try it on the cast of Jersey Shore." —Bill Maher

"By the way, Sarah Palin, if you're watching, how is that offshore drilling working out for ya?" —David Letterman

"Bad news, it's going to be a huge environmental disaster, the oil rig down there in the Gulf of Mexico. The good news is they think now that the oil spill will be diluted by the melting ice caps." —David Letterman

La Lengua Disturba

Today I made a phone call to a local utility and after the greeting, I as forced to press 1 for English.  How would I know that if I couldn't understand English.  Why don't I press 1 for NON-English.  That pisses me off almost as much as the State of California printing Driver's Handbooks in umpteen languages.  Don't they have to read street signs or parking tickets...  Why should I pay taxes so that non-English speakers can legally drive ? 


Sorry, the low horse wasn't available tonight, so I'm using the high one.  I guess this whole "pimple" in AZ is getting to me.  I understand that a pregnant illegal having a baby in the US provides citizenship for the baby and it is forever entitled to those benefits.  Does this occur anywhere else in the world ?  Why should it here ?


I heard on the radio that many. many illegal immigrants have been streaming to Catalina, AND Mexico is providing them with fake green cards.  Where is ICE ??  Don't they see the boats on radar or satellite ?  Are we so busy watching the AZ border that we are ignoring the rest of it ?

Right now, I am a registered Republican (not that I'm proud of it), but I am not going to vote in the primary for Governor because of the whole immigration issue.

Comin' 'Round After Goin' 'Round!

IN THE NEWS:  Looks like van der Sloot has been busy again, this time in Peru.  The claim is irrefutable evidence that puts him at a 21-year old girl's murder.  I would still bet that he is responsible for Natalie Holloway's murder as well.

Isn't it interesting that Obama hasn't blown his top yet about any of the disaster's he's had to deal with.  I certainly would be making BP very uncomfortable right about now.  If they don't succeed at plugging the leak this time, I would ask that any and all other oil companies come to their/our aid, while I systematically shut down all other BP operations that we can.  True to form, we want it all. We want a leader who can feel our pain while rising above it. We say we don't trust government, but we look to it for answers and cleanups. And we elected Barack Obama. Now we want to change him.

Here is the latest in the ridiculousness:  I was just in the local 7-11 and they are selling an anodized aluminum Slurpee straw!  Someone will eye out, or use it as a pea shooter at school and do the same.  Why would I want to have one, pay for one, use one ?





To my friends who enjoy a glass of wine . . . and those who don't. As Ben Franklin said: "In wine there is wisdom, in beer there is freedom, in water there is bacteria". In a number of carefully controlled trials, scientists have demonstrated that if we drink 1 liter of water each day, at the end of the year we would have absorbed more than 1 kilo of Escherichia coli, (E. coli) - bacteria found in feces. In other words, we are consuming 1 kilo of poop. (that's over 2 pounds). However, we do NOT run that risk when drinking wine & beer (or tequila, rum, whiskey or other liquor) because alcohol has to go through a purification process of boiling, filtering and/or fermenting.
Remember: Water = Poop, Wine = Health
Therefore, it's better to drink wine and talk stupid, than to drink water and be full of shit.
There is no need to thank me for this valuable information: I'm doing it as a public service.

DETERIORATA (The following poem was not found in an old Baltimore church):
Introduction
You are a fluke
Of the universe.
You have no right to be here.....
Deteriorata! Deteriorata!

Go placidly
Amid the noise and waste.
And remember what comfort there may be
In owning a piece thereof.

Avoid quiet and passive persons
Unless you are in need of sleep.

Ro-tate your tires.
Speak glowingly of those greater than yourself
And heed well their advice,
Even though they be turkeys.

Know what to kiss.....and when!
Consider that two wrongs never make a right
But that THREE.........do.

Wherever possible, put people on hold.

Be comforted that in the face of all aridity and disillusionment
And despite the changing fortunes of time,
There is always a big future in computer main-te-nance.

Chorus
You are a fluke
Of the universe.
You have no right to be here.
And whether you can hear it or not
The universe is laughing behind your back.

Remember the Pueblo.

Strive at all times to bend, fold, spindle and mu-ti-late.

Know yourself.
If you need help, call the FBI.

Exercise caution in your daily affairs,
Especially with those persons closest to you.
That lemon on your left, for instance.

Be assured that a walk through the ocean of most souls
Would scarcely get your feet wet.

Fall not in love therefore;
It will stick to your face.

Gracefully surrender the things of youth:
The birds, clean air, tuna, Taiwan
And let not the sands of time
Get in your lunch.

Hire people with hooks.

For a good time call 606-4311;
Ask for "Ken."

Take heart amid the deepening gloom
That your dog is finally getting enough cheese.

And reflect that whatever misfortune may be your lot
It could only be worse in Milwaukee.

Chorus
You are a fluke
Of the universe.
You have no right to be here.
And whether you can hear it or not
The universe is laughing behind your back.

Therefore, make peace with your god
Whatever you conceive him to be---
Hairy thunderer, or cosmic muffin.

With all its hopes, dreams, promises and urban renewal
The world continues to deteriorate.

GIVE UP!
Reprise
You are a fluke
Of the universe.
You have no right to be here.
And whether you can hear it or not
The universe is laughing behind your back.



Deteriorata (Yet another version)
Go placidly amid the noise and waste,
And remember what comfort there may be in owning a piece thereof.
Avoid quiet and passive persons unless you are in need of sleep.
Rotate your tires.
Speak glowingly of those greater than yourself,
And heed well their advice, even though they be turkeys.
Know what to kiss and when.
Consider that two wrongs never make a right,
But that three lefts do.
Wherever possible put people on "HOLD".
Be comforted that in the face of all aridity and disillusionment,
And despite the changing fortunes of time,
There is always a big future in computer maintenance.
Remember the Pueblo.
Strive at all times to bend, fold, spindle and mutilate.
Know yourself.  If you need help, call the FBI.
Exercise caution in your daily affairs,
Especially with those persons closest to you;
That lemon on your left for instance.
Be assured that a walk through the ocean of most souls,
Would scarcely get your feet wet.
Fall not in love therefore; it will stick to your face.
Carefully surrender the things of youth: birds, clean air, tuna, Taiwan,
And let not the sands of time get in your lunch.
For a good time, call 606-4311.
Take heart amid the deepening gloom that your dog
Is finally getting enough cheese;
And reflect that whatever fortunes may be your lot,
It could only be worse in Sioux City.
You are a fluke of the Universe.
You have no right to be here, and whether you can hear it or not,
The Universe is laughing behind your back.
Therefore make peace with your God whatever you conceive him to be,
Hairy Thunderer or Cosmic Muffin.
With all its hopes, dreams, promises, and urban renewal,
The world continues to deteriorate.
Give up.
                        --From the National Lampoon Radio Dinner album.



DESIDERATA (The original):
Go placidly amid the noise and haste and remember what peace there may be in silence.
As far as possible without surrender be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even the dull and ignorant; they too have their story.
Avoid loud and aggressive persons, they are vexations to the spirit.
If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain or bitter; for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.
Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs; for the world in full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is: many persons strive for high ideals; and everywhere life is full of heroism.
Be yourself. Especially, do not feign affection.
Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is perennial as the grass.
Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself.
You are a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be, and whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul.
With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.


Often attributed as "Found in Old Saint Paul's Church, Baltimore: Dated 1692."
Actually, Desiderata was written in 1927 by an obscure Indiana lawyer and poet named Max Ehrmann.

Coulda been a better day...

I watched the live feed from BP's antics at the wellhead this morning (DeepWater).  It has certainly convinced me how difficult a task this effort is.  The unfortunate fact, though, is that oil companies are NOT required to accommodate these kind of reparations before the drilling even starts.  They should have many types of emergency measure moth-balled and waiting for when they are needed.

The Europeans are upset because the government want to raise the retirement age (Wait to Retire).  Since they have so many benefits already, including long vacations; wouldn't it seem that their workers should last longer than ours ?  Unless something drastic happens, I can't imagine being totally retired, ever...

W went down to the Mission after work and viewed the I Modonnari chalk drawing on the pavement.  It was pretty impressive!  Here is an example:  Doesn't it look just like a photograph ?

Amazing!



Deathbed
A Jew was on his deathbed, and his family was gathered round him. He calls for his wife. “I’m here, honey.” He then called for his daughters. Both of them replied: “ Here, Papa.” Then he called for his sons. : We’re here, Dad.”
So he shouts: “ Then who the H___ is minding the store?” and dies.





A soldier ran up to a nun.
Out of breath he asked, 'Please, may I hide under your skirt.. I'll explain
later.' The nun agreed. A moment later two Military Police ran up and asked,
Sister, have you seen a soldier?' The nun replied, 'He went that way..'

After the MPs ran off, the soldier crawled out from under her skirt and
said, 'I can't thank you enough Sister. You see, I don't want to go to Iraq
.' The nun said, 'I understand completely.'

The soldier added, 'I hope I'm not rude, but you have a great pair of legs!'

The nun replied, 'If you had looked a little higher, you would have seen a
great pair of balls.....I don't want to go to Iraq either.





When I was younger.....

I hated going to weddings ... it seemed that all of my aunts and the grandmotherly types used to come up to me, poking me in the ribs and cackling, telling me, YOUR NEXT.

They stopped that shit after I started doing the same thing to them at funerals. 






The hired help:
An old man and women owned a farm. The old man died and the woman couldn't handle the farm by herself so she was going to hire someone to help her. The only job applicants were the town drunk and a new guy in town, who was gay. So she chose the gay guy; they worked together for a week or so and got the farm back together.

The old woman was pleased with the work and worn out, so she decided to give herself and her hired hand the night off. Both went out to dinner, she with her friends and he with his. But when the old woman got home, he wasn't there. When he finally came in, she told him, “I'm your boss so you have to do what I tell you.”

The gay guy said, “Okay.”

So she said, “Take my shoes off,” so he did.

She said, “Take my stockings off,” so he did.

Then she said, “Take my dress off,” and he did.

She said, “Take my bra off,” so he did.

Then she said, “Take my panties off,” so he did.

Finally, she said, “You leave this house wearing my clothes one more time and you're fired.”
