Tis the season.

I got one, my son got one, then the wife and daughter got one!  And we spread it out over 3-4 days. A great awesome case of the heave-till-your-nose-bleeds-and-you-see-the-angels. It must have something to do with all the people-to-people contact right around this time of year. So that is where I’ve been for the last [...]

Merry Catsmus.

Merry Christmas to all. I’ll flesh this story out a bit more tomorrow but suffice it to say I walked into the pet store looking for one cat and came away with two. They are Last Chance cats, meaning they’re destined for the Humane Society if they aren’t placed with a family. Meet Jack and [...]

Oh sure… NOW it’s “solar activity”.

Warm weather can’t possibly be caused by the sun, but freakishly cold and harsh winters can’t be handwaved away and blamed on AGW, so NOW we’ll call it a result of “solar activity”. Experts are still unsure why this is but suspect it may be related to the EL Nino weather system as well as [...]

In the interim…

Until tonight’s GrovelBlog, a link to Angry Harry’s site where, apparently, Harry is quite Angry. See, I was looking for the source of a quote I saw over this babe’s desk years ago (she was a femi-nazi):  A woman without a man is like a fish without a bicycle. Now.  Isn’t…  That…  Cute? Actually, no, [...]

Cruel Wife Digital Suffering

Update: The doc said that she has what is called mallet finger. It’s been a good thing that it isn’t hurting her all that much but it’s a bad thing that for four to six weeks she can’t bend that sucker or it’s going to undo any healing. This really screws up any chance of [...]

The Things that I Drink.

Cruel Wife just popped her finger.  It won’t straighten out.  Just the tip of her left ring finger. It’s not serious in a bad way but it’s serious enough that she can’t rub my feet, and that has me concerned. If she still can’t rub my feet in a week I’ll insist that she sees [...]

Mercifully free of the ravages of intelligence.

In Ashland, Oregon, they want to make sure that around CHRISTMAS TIME they show more secular symbols and less religious ones. According to the new guidelines, displays in public areas should “represent the diversity of the season, and should avoid symbols with patently religious meanings,” including the manger scene, menorahs, angels or the Star of [...]

A New Plug.

Update:  I’ve recently argued that if women ruled the world there would be a lot less high-risk stuff done (Panama Canal, Boulder Dam, rail guns, etc.) but I have to say there’d also be a lot less stuff like these… jet powered… well, everything. Totally ridonkulous, IMHO, because they didn’t include a tiny go-kart version [...]

Stormy stuff.

Took Cruel Wife 3 hours to drive home tonight.  I went to get the kids (took today off because I had more than enough hours worked last week) and it was cold and icy.  Really cold.  Really icy. So anyway, it sucked.  I won’t go into all the reasons why.  Just take my word for [...]

Topic Salad Sunday.

I was talking with my sister and asked her if they still have goats.  (We’ll call her “GlassCutter”) Me:  Still got your goats? GlassCutter:  Yes.  Disgusting animals. Me:  Can I ask why they are disgusting? GC:  Yeah.  We rented a billy to mate with our female goats. Me:  Rent-a-Billy.  Cool. GC:  Yeah, when they want [...]

Feel free to be stupid amongst yourselves…

Popular Science, something I enjoy reading when I’m looking for “Science Lite” – tastes ok, less taxing… Anyway, they put up this thing about the WikiLeaks moron. A sponge by the name of kjmiklautsch commented… People scream for equality, rally for human rights, protest for world peace, but are okay with the Governments and Powers [...]

Sometimes, they get it right.

It was a rough week but due to the meticulous assistance from a very smart friend, my butt was pulled out of the frying pan and fire.  Whew!  Cyberspace thanks go to The French Sloth.  Very very grateful on my end.  I said so, and was even sincere when I said it. Moving on – [...]
