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

Yessir, we have no lemons for sale!

You can thank Apple for causing the biggest cell crunch that we've ever seen.  The iPhone and its derivatives (Android) have filled all the spectrum of the airwaves that is dedicated to cell communication.  We have become a society dependent on our smart phones. Meanwhile, the cell phone network companies are reeling in the bucks at unheard of rates.  Soon the smart phone will not be the smart option.  Restricting its use to conserve and distribute bandwidth to all the users will force them to put up with bad or slow services, thereby not utilizing all the capabilities of their smart phones.  Now is the time for a paradigm shift to a newer better technology that can handle the number of users and their datahogs with years of future expansion.  I don't know what that technology is, but it had better hurry up.


If any one of you have read that there are no longer any lemon cars being sold: don't forget about the Toyota's that won't stop, the Volts that catch fire, the cars that degrade their mileage by 50%, et cetera.  Cars ARE better but they are 1000% more complicated, and therefore have much more opportunity for failure.


Have you ever noticed how strange news stories appear when there is a "quiet" day without much to say?  Some of them are pretty arbitrary, such as the one that states that lemon cars are no longer sold.  I think that I would appreciate a day where the newspaper or news website just states, "We don't have any news today, sorry.".  Wouldn't that be just absolutely amazing?


At last a blonde male joke.
A Sheriff in a small town in Texas walks out in the street and sees a blonde haired cowboy coming toward him with nothing on but his cowboy hat, his gun and his boots. He arrests him for indecent exposure.

As he is locking him up, he asks "Why in the world are you walking around like this?"

The cowboy says, "Well it's like this Sheriff .....

I was in this bar down the road and this pretty little red head asks me to go out to her motor home with her. So I did.
We go inside and she pulls off her top and asks me to pull off my shirt... So I did.
Then she pulls off her skirt and asks me to pull off my pants... So I did.
Then she pulls off her panties and asks me to pull off my shorts...so I did.
Then she gets on the bed and looks at me kind of sexy and says, 'Now go to town cowboy.'
And here I am."

Son of a Gun. Blonde Men do exist!

Bob is unemployed and applies for a job as a janitor at Microsoft. A manager at Human Resources interviews him in detail then asks him to wipe a few floors as a test.

"OK," says the interviewer, "you're hired. Just give me your e-mail address and I'll send you the necessary documents."

Bob says that he doesn't have a computer, so obviously has no e-mail address. The Microsoft interviewer tells him that without an e-mail address he virtually doesn't exist, so the company is unable to hire him.

Disappointed and frustrated, Bob leaves the building with only 10 dollars in his pocket. He decides to go to the nearest supermarket and buy 10 pounds of tomatoes. He sells the tomatoes door-to-door and within two hours has doubled his capital. He repeats the process three times and ends up with 160 dollars.

  Realizingthat he can make a living this way, Bob works hard from early morning to late at night. Every day, he doubles or even triples his capital. After a short time, he buys a small van, then a truck, and soon he has an entire fleet for his deliveries.

Within 5 years, Bob has established one of the largest food retail chains in the USA. He decides to think about his future and wants to get a financial plan drawn up for himself and his family. He contacts a financial consultant and they compile a pension plan. At the end of the discussion, the consultant asks Bob for his e-mail address in order to send him the corresponding documents, only to hear that Bob still does not own a computer and has no e-mail address.

"That's weird," says the consultant. "You have built up a massive retail empire and you don't even have an e-mail address. Just imagine what you would have achieved if you'd had a computer."

Bob thinks for a minute, then says: "I'd be a janitor at Microsoft." 




A retired man went into the Job Center in Downtown Denver , Colorado , and saw a card advertising for a Gynecologist's Assistant. Interested, he went in and asked the clerk for details.

The clerk pulled up the file and read, "The job entails getting the ladies ready for the gynecologist. You have to help the women out of their underwear, lay them down, and carefully wash their private regions, then
apply shaving foam and gently shave off the hair, then rub in soothing oils so they're ready for the gynecologist's examination. The annual salary is $65,000, and you'll have to go to Billings, Montana ."

"Good grief, is that where the job is?"

"No sir -- that's where the end of the line is right now!"

What is generation Y?
- People born before 1946 were called The Silent generation.

- The Baby Boomers, are people born between 1946 and 1959.

- Generation X, people born between 1960 and 1979.

- Generation Y, are the people born between 1980 and 2011

Why do we call the last group Generation Y?

Recently a cartoonist explained it very eloquently below...

And I always thought it was because they say...

Y should I get a job?
Y should I leave home and find my own place?
Y should I get a car when I can borrow yours?
Y should I clean my room?
Y should I wash and iron my own clothes?
Y should I buy any food?




Wal-Mart announced today that they'll soon be offering customers yet another new discount item, their own brand of wine. The world's largest retail chain is teaming up with E&J Gallo Winery of California to produce their spirits at an affordable price.

Wine connoisseurs may not be inclined to throw a bottle of Wal-Mart brand into their shopping carts, but "there is strong market demand for cheap wine", said Jane Weldon, professor of Wal-Mart's marketing division. "However," she added "Choosing the right names are important for building brand-ability and loyalty."

Customer surveys were conducted to determine the most attractive names for the Wal-Mart house brand wines. The top surveyed names in, order of popularity, include:

•Chateau Traileur Parc
•White Trashfindel
•Peanut Noir
•I Can't Believe It's Not Vinegar!
•Grape Expectations
•Nasti Spumante
•Big Red Gulp
•World Championship Riesling
•NASCARbernet
•Chef Boyardeaux

Pricing is expected to be in the $3-5 range and will be offered in the box and bottle. If production goes smoothly, expect to find Wal-Mart's self-branded wine on the shelves sometime next year.

Rolls Royce of Sprinkler Controllers

We all know they are there and we know that finding isn't the REAL problem.  There is a new app for a smart phone that detects potholes and reports them to the gubmint.  The REAL problem is getting them to fix them (and getting someone to pay for that).    It is nice to know, though, that ruining your car's suspension and tires is not enough to alert you to the presence of a pothole.  One must invest in a smart phone to determine their presence!


Saturday I took my sprinkler controller to the local dealer to see if they could help me get it to work again.  Everything I tried had failed.  As usual, the first thing the dealer tried had worked, and it appeared as though I was saved from the $325 replacement cost or the $125 repair cost.  By the time I got home and hooked it up, it was in failure mode once again.  I gave up and decided that I was going to replace it- but not for $325, if I could.  I went down to the local Home Depot and perused the offerings.  I decided to take my chances with a $57 replacement to see if it worked. I was very careful removing it from the carton and installing it, in case I had to repackage it for return.  It worked first time out of the box.  Why would anyone want to buy the $325 brand, when the $57 brand works just as well?  It is not like it is a stereo system or a computer.  How much better could the expensive brand have watered my lawn than the cheaper one ??  Who are they trying to kid, anyway?


The city is complaining about the size of a new Starbucks sign and they want the company to replace it with a smaller one.  Of course, the sign was approved when the company got a permit to put it up.  Why should they change it?  They shouldn't.  When a "Grande" was permitted, they shouldn't have to put up a "Demi"!

From a show on Canadian TV, there was a black comedian who said he misses Bill Clinton.

"Yep, that's right - I miss Bill Clinton! He was the closest thing we ever got to having a real black man as President.

Number 1 - He played the sax.
Number 2 - He smoked weed.
Number 3 - He had his way with ugly white women.

Even now? Look at him ... his wife works, and he doesn't! And, he gets a check from the government every month. Manufacturers announced today that they will be stocking America 's shelves this week with " Clinton
Soup," in honor of one of the nations' distinguished men. It consists primarily of a weenie in hot water.

Chrysler Corporation is adding a new car to its line to honor Bill Clinton. The Dodge Drafter will be built in Canada .

When asked what he thought about foreign affairs, Clinton replied, "I don't know, I never had one."

The Clinton revised judicial oath: "I solemnly swear to tell the truth as I know it, the whole truth as I believe it to be, and nothing but what I think you need to know."

Clinton will be recorded in history as the only President to do Hanky Panky between the Bushes."

... ya gotta love it!

Are we disgusted enough yet ?

Today my son Everett found a gift in his mailbox at the radio station where he is an intern.  They gave him his own (expensive) pair of headphones with his name engraved on them.  This means, of course, that he will soon have his own timeslot on the air!!  Heaven help us.


On another parent financed junket, Tori is off to Florence for the weekend.  I remember it well, the duomo and David- the big D's.  Wish I was there...

Are we disgusted enough yet? How much are we going to let Congress get away with? The first step here is to replace them all.  Do not vote for an incumbant- ever again!

Forrest Gump died and went to heaven. When he got to the Pearly Gates, Saint Peter told him that new rules were in effect due to the advances in education on earth. In order to gain admittance, a prospective Heavenly Soul must answer three questions:
1. Name two days of the week that begin with "T."
2. How many seconds are in a year? .
3. What is God's first name?

Forrest thought for a few minutes and answered .....
"1. The two days of the week that begin with "T" are Today and Tomorrow."
"2. There are 12 seconds in a year."
"3. God's name is Andy

Saint Peter said, "OK, I'll buy Today and Tomorrow, even though it's not the answer I expected, so your answer is correct. But how did you get 12 seconds in a year and why did you think that God's first name was Andy?"
Forrest responded, "Well, January 2nd, February 2nd, March 2nd, etc." "OK, I give you that one also," said Saint Peter, "but what about God's first name?"
Forrest said, "Well, from the song ... Andy walks with me, Andy talks with me.
Saint Peter let him in without another word.

Just Another Day

So here we are on Valentine's Day.  According to Wikipedia, Saint Valentine's Day, often simply Valentine's Day is a holiday observed on February 14 honoring one or more early Christian martyrs named Valentinus.  So, you ask, what has this to do with Cupid or greeting cards? The day first became associated with romantic love in the circle of Chaucer in the Middle Ages, when the tradition of courtly love flourished. By the 15th century, it had evolved into an occasion in which lovers expressed their love for each other by presenting flowers, offering candy, and sending greeting cards (known as "valentines"). So what has this to do with modern romance- actually nothing.  The greeting card, flower, and candy consortium (?) has convinced us that we NEED a holiday in February (heretofore uncelebrated in any way except shortness).  The holiday should push a topic close to the hearts of men, and tug at their wallets. Also, the stores did not want to take down Christmas decorations and immediately put up St. Patrick's Day decorations.  This way, the space in the stores did not go empty for a month.  
This is contrived holiday which promotes good feelings between you and your significant other, but isn't that what anniversary celebrations are for ??

So does this day have any political connections?  Probably not, but the cartoon below really says it all....  I think they all have a bit out of them by now...



Police Officer O'Leary is cruising around in his patrol car one night. He is on the lookout for trouble. He sees two little old ladies in the front seat of a Chevrolet convertible, parked in "Honest John's" used car lot.

The car lot is closed, so O'Leary drives up alongside the Chevy and asks, "Are you two ladies trying to steal this car?"

"Certainly not," says one of the ladies, "we purchased the car this afternoon."

"Well," says the cop, "why don't you start it up and drive out of here?"

"We don't drive," replies the other little old lady. "And besides we are waiting. We were told that if we bought a car here, we would get screwed."


Bumper stickers we'd like to see....

Voters

Why would anyone with half a brain care what Sarah Palin has to say or believe that she could sway an election by what she says? The commotion in the primaries for the formerly(G)OP candidate is such a mess that frontrunners come and go with each primary.  Sometimes I think that the best support that a candidate could get is if Obama would say that he didn't think he could win against that person.  Of course he wouldn't say that, because there isn't (and won't be) a viable competitor. 
I think that the real answer here is that many people that vote are uninformed.  They vote on a whim or arbitrarily because they like the candidate's hair, or don't like the other candidates wife...or some other non-applicable reason.  Unfortunately, their vote counts just the same.

Her mother had found the PERFECT dress to wear, and would be the best-dressed mother-of-the-bride ever! A week later, Jennifer was horrified to learn that her father's new, young wife had bought the exact same dress as her mother! Jennifer asked her father's new young wife to exchange it, but she refused. "Absolutely not! I look like a million bucks in this dress, and I'm wearing it," she replied. Jennifer told her mother who graciously said, "Never mind sweetheart. I'll get another dress. After all, it's your special day." A few days later, they went shopping, and did find another gorgeous dress for her mother. When they stopped for lunch, Jennifer asked her mother, "Aren't you going to return the other dress? You really don't have another occasion where you could wear it."
Her mother just smiled and replied, "Of course I do, dear.....I'm wearing it to the rehearsal dinner the night BEFORE the wedding."
