Troopers with Lazers
No, I didn't get my but kicked on Halo (which I haven't been able to re-install since I defragged last week because I can't find the product key). Coming back from the farm on Thursday, in my usual zoned-after-all-that-work state, I got tagged with a laser at1300 feet going 72 mph. I even had a conversation about it with the trooper, who was really cheerful, and explained that they had them for a long time, but...
I found out!
Sprinfield in the Simpsons(TM) is in NEW YORK! They showed the episode today where Lisa tours the country for an essay/speech contest. They pan from state to state across the MidWest, then show NYC and Long Island, and then right there on the map just upstate (White Plains? Poughkipsee?) is a three-eyed fish icon and the word "SRINGFIELD". The only nucler power plant in that area is Indian Point in Buchanan, NY,...
You keep send me email, but all I read is blah-blah-blah.
That's right, I'm talking to you. This is a note to apologize for not "passing on" or "sending back" your lovely animated, huge-lettered poems with midi music, or free offers for computers and trips to Disney or a cure for some non-existent little girl's illness if your email gets sent to millions of other people, who also apparently do not realize there's no such thing as an "email tracking system". If you don't...
Public entry equivalent …
I just made a "friends only" journal entry about a big Christmas surprise. I am SO happy about this. We're going to keep it a secret from Chrissy (oops, almost spelled it Chrissie again), but I have to arrange having her a few extra hours. I know her mom and I can work something out. She will know how important it will be for Christina, and in the end she has Chrissy's best interest at heart like I do. Well, off I...
Guess who’s coming to Wigilia?
(For those of the non-Polish persuasion, Wigilia is Christmas Eve Supper) I just found out ----- my Aunt / Godmother and my cousing Binki ("Dr. Frank Pasquale III") are coming for Christmas! But this entry is private because we're keeping it a surprise for my daughter. I can't wait to see her face. I'm actuall crying. This will be the first time we've ever had Wigilia together as far as I can remember. I love...
I Told You So # 82,189
I always tell people that gas prices are around where they should be compared to when I started driving in 1987 and we've been spoiled with low prices for so long. People looked at the numbers on the pump and thought I was crazy. Of course, they were wrong. And I was EXACTLY RIGHT, but I never could get people to do more than patronize me when I tried explaining the inclusion of inflation into the equation. Here's...
Indoor Weather Report …
It dropped under 65 degrees (F) in here this morning. And I did the unthinkable. Instead of just putting on a sweater and scarf (which I have on now), I turned the thermostat ON, setting it to a toasty 66 degrees! I'm sure my wife wouldn't approve, and will likely openm a window or something when she gets home.
International Marketing Gone Wrong, Lost in the Translation
Exerpt: For a split second before the porn image showed up in the preview pane in my browser, I caught glimpse of the (heavily-copryighted-I-think-not) "Joke of the Day" message. After copying the text (below), I of coure deleted the ad, which was poor marketing at best. Pictures of bare-chested women with a huge title reading "monster c*cks" or somthing similar just didn't appeal to me. :^}
Online Idiot Status Report
Here's a copy of an email I sent to someone who keeps sending me bullsh*t editorials and links to false news sources about Bush's "hubristic imperialism ... a.k.a. HIGH CRIMES & MISDEMEANORS" (his capitalization), "Mass murderer", blah blah blah ... I have yet to see an actual reliable news source or any sane logic of any kind from this man and he keeps polluting the Internet. *** I apologize in advance for...
