Anyway, we need more politicians to think this way:
Red Skelton's "Pledge of Allegiance" was first introduced on the Red Skelton Show on January 14, 1969. It has since been twice read into the congressional record of The United States and has received numerous awards.

BWAH! [snort]



For some ungawdly reason, Deb gave me a schmoozer award.
If "schmooze" means to bitch about every little thing that comes your way, or maybe to talk about useless shit and make inane comments, then hey! I guess I am definitely a schmoozer!

Another definition is "chatting idly". Well now, chatting idly is what I do best around here, so maybe she has me pegged.


Well anyway, the idea of this thing is to spread the award like so much syphilis,and choose 5 other blogs which I consider to have the power of the schmooze.

So let's see now. The first that comes to mind would be Jean. She likes to put you in a different dimension every now and then, and then before you know it, like the crisp snap of a wishbone, you're right back to reality.

Next on the list is Greg. Although he'll probably tell me to go fistfuck myself, I enjoy the hell out of his very entertaining writing, and I have a hunch that there ain't many more people who would more of a hoot to prop up an elbow and shoot some shit with.


Third on the list is The Princess. Woman cracks me the hell up sometimes. Another one who I think would be a hoot to bend an elbow with.

Another one who will probably tell me to take this award and poke it up the cornhole sideways, but yet never ceases to give me a good chuckle, Squid. If you can get past that gawd-awful wallpaper, you will be entertained with the posts. Sorry Squid, that shit gives me a headache.

And last but definitely not least, Pooke. Her and her hubby both post on their blog, but she seems to do more than he. Sometimes there is a dry spell over there, but when they get back into the groove, it is worth a read.
And how can I not tag someone else who also has me pegged so well?:
"...[Curmudgeon] I believe may have been me had I been graced with a dick, a shotgun, and Jack Daniels in my Snoopy Thermos."
BWAH!!! That still cracks me the hell up!

Okay folks, there you go. Sorry if you're agin' passing these along. No biggy. Do what you will.

Updated: I stumbled upon this little funny here:

Three nurses went to heaven, and were awaiting their turn with St. Peter to plead their case to enter the pearly gates.

The first nurse said, "I worked in an emergency room. We tried our best to help patients, even though occasionally we did lose one. I think I deserve to go to heaven." St. Peter looks at her file and admits her to heaven.

The second nurse says, "I worked in an operating room. It's a very high stress environment and we do our best. Sometimes the patients are too sick and we lose them, but overall we try very hard." St. Peter looks at her file and admits her to heaven.

The third nurse says, "I was a case manager for an HMO."

St. Peter looks at her file. He pulls out a calculator and starts punching away at it furiously, constantly going back to the nurse's file. After a few minutes St. Peter looks up, smiles, and says, "Congratulations! You've been admitted to heaven ... for five days!"

Stephen Wright is my hero. I've always like his sort of twisted humor.
A while back, someone sent me a few of his quotes. Read, chuckle, scoff, enjoy, whatever you wish.

THE MYSTERIOUS MIND OF STEPHEN WRIGHT:

  • I planted some bird seed. A bird came up. Now I don't know what to feed it.

  • I had amnesia once -- maybe twice.

  • I went to San Francisco. I found someone's heart.

  • Photons have mass? I didn't even know they were Catholic.

  • All I ask is a chance to prove money can't make me happy.

  • I'd give my right arm to be ambidextrous.

  • If the world was a logical place, men would ride horses sidesaddle.

  • What is a "free" gift? Aren't all gifts free?

  • They told me I was gullible.... and I believed them..

  • Teach a child to be polite and courteous in the home and, when he grows up, he'll never be able to edge his car onto a freeway.

  • Two can live as cheaply as one, for half as long.

  • Experience is the thing you have left when everything else is gone.

  • What if there were no hypothetical questions?

  • One nice thing about egotists... they don't talk about other people.

  • When the only tool you own is a hammer, every problem begins to look a nail.

  • A flashlight is a case for holding dead batteries.

  • What was the greatest thing before sliced bread?

  • My weight is perfect for my height.... which varies.

  • I used to be indecisive. Now I'm not sure.

  • The high cost of living hasn't affected its popularity.

  • How can there be self-help "groups"?

  • Is there another word for synonym?

  • The speed of time is one second per second.

  • Is it possible to be totally partial?

  • What's another word for thesaurus?

  • Is Marx's tomb a communist plot?

  • If swimming is so good for your figure, how do you explain whales?

  • Show me a man with both feet firmly on the ground, and I'll show you a man who can't get his pants off.

  • It's not an optical illusion. It just looks like one.

  • Is it my imagination, or do buffalo wings taste like chicken?

Oh, and here's a cartoon:

TSA to lift ban on flying with cigarette lighters

Authorities found that banning most devices did little to make flying safer



Updated: 2 hours, 59 minutes ago

NEW YORK - Airline passengers will be able to bring many types of cigarette lighters on board again starting next month after authorities found that a ban on the devices did little to make flying safer, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) said Friday.

The agency also announced that it was changing its policy on breast milk, and will allow mothers with or without children to carry more than three ounces onto planes.
Uh, no shit. Have you ever tried to light breat milk with a lighter? It's a pain in the ass.
Starting Aug. 4, air travelers will be allowed to carry disposable butane lighters, such as Bics, and refillable lighters, including Zippos, the TSA said. A prohibition will continue on torch-style lighters, which have hotter flames.
The agency said it costs close to $4 million to dispose of the more than 22,000 lighters it seizes every day.
[...]
Aha! There's the real crux of the situation. It isn't really because they're afraid someone is going to light the plane on fire, it costs them too much money to dispose of the lighters!

Again I say, if a well trained psycho really wanted to cause trouble on a plane, it wouldn't take any sort of weapon. There are any number of holds, blows, kicks and so on that can be used in place of say, a nail file or eyeglass repair screwdriver, to kill someone.

The days of the Fred Flintstone ("WIIILLLMA! WHAT'S FOR DINNER!?!?!") or Archie Bunker ("EDITH! GET ME A BEER!!!") mentality are pretty much a thing of the past. However, men who actually think for themselves are still around.

Sure, there are definitely some pussies out there, but any significant marriage, or even a serious relationship, is a 'partnership'. But you bow down to your spouse, that's your shortcoming. Pussy.

Pot - Meet Kettle

BRRRRAAAAAAAPPPPP!!!!!




So I saw a cartoon yesterday that just cracked me the fuck up:


Yes, the fat bastard is at it again with one of his bogus 'documentaries', this time as I understand, on the 'ills' (BWAH! pun!) of the American health care system.
Yes, he is the poster child for healthy living fer sher.

Well, you really wanna fix the health care system? Get rid of lawyers.

I know, I've said it before. And I don't mean all lawyers. Not all lawyers are greedy bastards like ambulance chasers are. Sometimes the services of a good lawyer are required. Sometimes just like a good mechanic, you need someone who knows their shit. But ambulance chasers? That's a whole 'nuther critter. Like flies on shit they are. All over the place. It seems like most of the commercials on teevee are cars, pills and lawyers.
Everyone is sue happy these days. The system has been abused too long, and it's jumping up and biting everyone on the ass.

Find a worm in your candy bar? Sue the manufacturer. That's okay. If you can afford candy bars in the first place, you can afford to pay more for them.

Drive yourself home drunk and kill someone? Sue the bartender for pouring booze down your throat, and the auto manufacturer for not making foam rubber bumpers so when you ram someone they get crumpled instead of you just bouncing off their car.

Have a quack doctor operate on you and remove your left nut instead of the cataract from your right eye? Well, that doctor needs to be shot, but having a windfall come your way at the insurance company's expense ain't going to bring your left nut back. Getting his license the fuck taken away may help the next person though.

Hmmm. Here's a thought: Let's take a close look at the peer review process. Doctors have to answer to their peers - other doctors. It is a buddy system.

Yes, they have malpractice insurance to cover the law suits, but stop and think about it:
Q- How often do you hear of a doctor losing their license?
A- Not very.

They have to seriously fuck up on a regular basis before they'll be held accountable. And it almost has to be proven that it was intentional before it's considered serious.

Now I know no one is perfect, and I know medicine is not an exact science. But besides the cost of malpractice insurance, the hoops medical people have to jump through because of the threat of law suits is the biggest reason costs are outrageous. All to cover their asses. Waivers to sign, support personnel to assist, precautionary tests to be taken, all that shit adds up - and fast.

Just think about it the next time you hear yourself thinking something like "I'm gonna sue that bastard for everything he's got!" A litigious society is what we've become, and look where it got us.
As an example, let's compare the medical industry to the average, every day shit.
It ended up costing us more for products, and services, while adding all sorts of pads, nets, stickers, hoods, cowlings, guards, safety bars, warning lights and cumbersome attachments just so we are unable to accidentally hurt ourselves. Sure, we may not be able to so easily stick our foot in the lawnmower, but that lawnmower costs twice as much as it should, simply because now Toro has to crash test one out of every 100 or so lawnmowers to make sure the side impact grass collector can take a punch without little Jimmy getting his finger cut off.
So there's the R&D expense, the added safety equipment cost, the lawsuit insurance cost, and who knows what else they're adding on over in China to meet our so-called 'safety' standards, when really, all that is required is to not be stupid when you're mowing the lawn.

Good gawd. I really got off on a tangent there. I guess to sum it all up, let me say this. Again. Until people start to take some responsibility for your their own fucking actions, own their mistakes, it ain't going to get any better. Sometimes it just ain't no one's fault but your own, and blaming everyone else may save face for yourself, but someone is going to pay. And it will probably be your damn self in other ways.

In the meantime, try to ignore all that fucking loud, obnoxious "4TH OF JULY BLOWOUT", "HOT DEALS ON COOL WHEELS", "INDEPENDENCE DAY SELL-ABRATION" bullshit which nowadays is seemingly the basis of the holiday.

Instead, try to remember why exactly the hell we have the day off:

















It wasn't an easy task, but I sure as hell appreciate it.


"Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect everyone who approaches that jewel. Unfortunately, nothing will preserve it but downright force. Whenever you give up that force, you are inevitably ruined."

Oh Really?

One-third of Americans abuse alcohol: survey

2 hours, 47 minutes ago

CHICAGO (Reuters) - Nearly one in three Americans abuse or become dependent on alcohol over the course of their lives, and most never seek treatment, according to a study published on Monday.
[...]
No surprise there. Count me in.

Anyway, speaking of alcohol abuse - all you greenies, thanks:
[...]
Der Spiegel Online reports that a 2006 barley shortage will raise the wholesale price of German beer this May. Many brewing industry lobbyists attribute the price rise to farmers forgoing barley for corn in order to satisfy the global demand for biofuels, especially from the United States. In the past year, the price of barley has doubled on the German market, from €200 to €400 per ton.
[...]
Yup. Since farmers are growing more corn instead of barley here in the U.S. too, beer prices are going to be going up all over.

Just what we need. And it isn't just the cost of barley. Not only are fucking tweekers are stealing kegs and turning them in to recyclers, some people would rather just recycle them and skip their deposit:
Beer makers losing money on missing kegs

[...]
The theft problem is twofold, he said. Some average keg-buying customers opt to forgo their deposits, which can sometimes range from $10 to $30, because they can cover that expense, and then some, if they sell to scrap dealers.

He could not say how much kegs go for, because prices change locally. But given prices metal trading prices in the past year, a keg could fetch from $15 to $55 or more at scrap yards.
[...]
Once again, pass the cost on to us beer drinkers.

And on top of that, check this shit:
Everyone shows ID for beer in Tenn.

AP - Sat Jun 30, 11:36 PM ET Sent 597 times

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Comer Wilson hasn't had to show his ID to buy beer in a while. Maybe it's the 66-year-old man's long white beard. Starting Sunday, gray hair won't be good enough. Wilson and everyone else will be required to show identification before buying beer in Tennessee stores — no matter how old the buyer appears.
[...]
How fucking stupid.

I don't don't have a problem with cashiers I.D.-ing someone who looks say, 30 or less. But come one now. If you're too stupid to be able to tell if someone who is obviously legal age - like 60, you shouldn't be working there.

Fucking nannies.
