Earth Day

Happy Earth Day everyone.

We must do our part as mother nature does hers:

Everyone nuke a gay whale for Jeebus!

As AlGore Winks

Stockholm's bunnies burned to keep Swedes warm

The bodies of thousands of rabbits culled every year from the parks in Stockholm’s Kungsholmen neighbourhood are being used to fuel a heating plant in central Sweden.
[...]

Well, where do I begin.

Dead bunnies used for fuel. Now that's something I would never have contemplated. But I guess when you're being resourceful, you use what you have available.

But bunnies? I didn't think they had enough fat content to burn worth a shit.

Social Security makes it official: No COLA in 2010

WASHINGTON - There will be no cost of living increase for more than 50 million Social Security recipients next year, the first year without a raise since automatic adjustments were adopted in 1975, the government announced Thursday.
[...]

Welcome to the club. I haven't received a COLA or raise in about 3 years.

Slick Willy

U.S. reporters freed from North Korea return home
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) – Two American journalists freed by North Korea after months of detention returned home to a tearful family reunion on Wednesday accompanied by former President Bill Clinton, who secured their release in a meeting with the reclusive state's leader Kim Jong-il.
[...]

So Slick Willy is back in the news. Finished his mission to North Korea to get the reporters out of the clutches of Lil Kim. Makes me wonder what exactly it was he promised the crazy fucker in order to get them freed. Maybe sat down and had a couple beers like they do at the White House when you're dealing with friends, cops and racial tensions?


You know a psychotic asshole like that ain't doing nothing so visible to the world without some sort of concession. And merely meeting with a former U.S. president ain't enough.

Good gawd. Willy's wife should have been the one doing this shit if it was to be done. But Lil Kim didn't want nothing to do with that bitch Hitlary. Can't say as I blame him though.

Kids' lower IQ scores linked to prenatal pollution

CHICAGO - Researchers for the first time have linked air pollution exposure before birth with lower IQ scores in childhood, bolstering evidence that smog may harm the developing brain.

Drinking, smoking, pollution, ... I expect "Global Warming™" to be the next culprit.

Shocker: 'Global warming' simply no longer happening

Temperatures dropping, fewer hurricanes, arctic ice growing, polar bear population up

[...]
For at least the last five years, global temperatures have been falling, according to tracking performed by Roy Spencer, the climatologist formerly of NASA.

"Global warming" was going to bring more and more horrific hurricanes, climate change scientists and the politicians who subscribed to their theories said. But since 2005, only one major hurricane has struck North America.

Well, that's going to fuck up AlGore's career big time.

Another Worthless Study

Finger length may predict financial success

Mon Jan 12, 6:05 PM ETSent 210 times

WASHINGTON - The length of a man's ring finger may predict his success as a financial trader. Researchers at the University of Cambridge in England report that men with longer ring fingers, compared to their index fingers, tended to be more successful in the frantic high-frequency trading in the London financial district.
[...]

Yeah. Right. And the middle finger is an indicator of how long your dick is too. Blah blah blah.

That must mean the execs from the closed up or bailed out banks with the golden parachutes have longer ring fingers than the poor saps working for them or investing with them.

Study these folks and give me an indicator of how successful they are:

No Good Deed Goes Unpunished

Motorists' habits spur call for tax increases
1 hour, 24 minutes agoSent 427 times

l WASHINGTON - Motorists are driving less and buying less gasoline, which means fuel taxes aren't raising enough money to keep pace with the cost of road, bridge and transit programs.
[...]

So let me get this straight - gas prices go sky high causing people to drive less. On the one hand, greenies and Algore love it because we're burning less fossil fuels. On the other hand, governments lose tax revenue for building more and better roads. And on the other hand, there are fewer vehicles to make roads for. But on the other hand, mass transit systems get more business, but their rates will go up because of higher taxes.

What's going to happen when we start using so-called "alternative fuels"? That shit is going to be taxed so bad to compensate for the lack of gas taxes, it will be unaffordable.


Fuck me.

Snow Day

Yup, we got dumped on yesterday. Damn that Global Warming™.

People going home from work early, schools closed today, flights canceled, some roads out of town closed, a fair mess.
Yes, roads are closed. We don't have snow plows here any more than you northerners have swimming pool maintenance trucks.

The National Weather Service - which is located fairly low in the valley - recorded an official snow fall of 3.6 inches. We had about 5 altogether, and some parts of the valley about 5 miles from me had about 8 inches.
We set a record for snowfall for the month of December. The last time we had anywhere near this much was back in 1979.

Pics? You want pics? Here ya' go.

My truck after I got home last night:


The front yard:


The plum tree drooping with the wet, sloppy snow:


The rose bushes aren't liking it much either:


The street view.
What's unique about this picture, is I took it at around 6:30 with no flash. The sky should have been way dark, but because of all the cloud cover, it was way bright outside:

Well, Shit.

Sorry sweet lady.

This is supposed to be the time of year for family and friends, wassail, cookies, giving and sharing, joy and kindness. But thanks to a bunch of greedy mutherfukkers, there seems to be nothing this year but sadness, worry, anticipation and wonder.

Best wishes for you, and good luck. I hope the new endeavor eventually serves you.

New porn channel lets Canadians strut their stuff
Reuters - Mon Aug 18, 8:57 AM ET

TORONTO (Reuters) - Canadians who may have become tired of being passed over as porn stars will have a new, home-grown outlet to showcase their erotic talents.

How fuckin' cool is that!?!? I think us Americans need that channel.

Of course, there could be drawbacks. For instance, just how much are they going to charge, and there is a good possibility that since they are 'average' citizens, we may not want to see them nekkid.

And So It Begins...

Colorado Town Wants To Ban Red And Green Lights*

The town of Fort Collins, Colorado, and its Holiday Display Task Force are in the process of making their Christmas decorations more politically correct.

The task force plans to recommend that the city displays only include white lights, winter symbols that aren't linked with any particular holiday and other non-secular items.

Additionally, Christmas trees will no longer be permitted to be put up outside of public buildings or on public property. The city plans on voting on the recommendations on November 20th.

Well, fuck all of you lefty fucking 'please everyone all the time' fucking P.C. fucks.

First it was nativity scenes, and now they must be as ambiguous as possible. In other words, include every religious symbol you can think of, but make sure there is nothing that could possibly be construed as a Christian symbol.

Fucking assholes. FUCK! [kack] [spit] This is getting too fucking fucked up.
Show me a gawddamn hippie. I want to fucking kick something.

Ask The Curmudgeon

Say Cheese . . . But Keep Your Clothes On

Thu Nov 8, 2:00 AM ET

DEAR CURMUDGEON: I recently broke up with my boyfriend of four years. We parted on good terms and remain friends. Once, when we were intimate, we captured ourselves on film, with the understanding that the pictures would be promptly deleted. He assured me he had done this. Occasionally, when he goes away on business trips, I'll check on his house and cat for him. I've done this for years . . . checked his mail, fed the cat. Recently, I don't know what compelled me, but I began to search specifically for those photos. I found them, along with others (not me). I was hurt, shocked, mad -- everything at once.

I have not told him I know about them, and I actually left them as I found them. I'm torn between taking them and destroying them, or leaving them and pretending I didn't see them. I don't want him to feel I violated his privacy, yet I definitely want them gone and I'd like to tell him where they went. I'm afraid to have them around, and the agreement was that they would be destroyed.

What's the right thing to do?

--- CHAGRINED AND DISAPPOINTED

Well now, Ms C and D. The biggest issue I see here is the cat. By virtue of him having a cat, he is a moron. And you are a moron for taking care of it. You shouldn't be going over there in the first place. Take a dog with you next time and have it chase the cat off. That way, he won't even need you to go check on his house, and you won't have to look at the pictures of him with other wimmin.

Now since we've already established you're a moron, you should have known that A) he wouldn't delete the pictures. What guy in their right mind would after all? And B) there would be pictures of other wimmin on his computer. I mean, he is a guy, right?

Now the best thing you could do with those pictures is send them to me. You can then delete them if you really want to, but that's only optional. If he has any sense at all, he has already backed them up or uploaded them some place, so deleting them would probably be a waste of time anyway. You can even tell him you sent them to me if you want, no matter. Anyway, I'll be sure and see to it they're properly posted on the internet taken care of though.

Another option is to just make yourself a blog and post them. It always makes people feel better when they post nude pictures of themselves.

Anyway, there is plenty of whack off material free for the taking out there, your pictures included. He can find plenty of other pictures on Gore's innernet with which he can make himself squirt all over his chest, so go ahead and send those to me whether you delete them or not. I'll look after them for you.

Movies Suck

The latest in film publicity? A barf bag

Reuters - Mon Aug 27, 8:43 AM ET

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Here's one way to appeal to one segment of the youthful male market so beloved by film producers -- package your DVD with its own "barf bag."
[...]

It's about fucking time. Most movies coming out now warrant a barf bag anyway.

I won't waste money at a theater any more. The movies usually suck, the price of a ticket and snacks could feed a family in Ethiopia for a month, and the other attendees are usually a truckload of teens dropped off by their parents, brimming with raging hormones, wanting to fuck or get fucked in the worst way but don't know how to go about it, so instead they run around squealing like - well, a bunch of teens brimming with raging hormones, wanting to fuck or get fucked in the worst way but don't know how to go about it.

So I get DVDS. At least if the movie sucks, I can shut it off and watch another one.





~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Back In The Saddle.

Yes, I'm back to the normal routine. Thanks again for all the well wishes and comments. I have around 500-600 pictures to sift through before I post any though, so I hope y'all can hold out for a day or so. That's the trouble with digital cameras. It's a good thing to be able take way too many pictures, where you can keep the good ones and and delete the bad ones rather than get them all printed and just throw the bad ones away, but there seems to be a lot more to go through.

Anyway, I'll get them all sorted out soon and throw them up on the intarweb so they can be seen by all. And I'll pop in and visit you folks' blogs when I get a bit caught up.

Fuck ESPN

And any other media source involved in reporting 'sports'.

The gawdd-amn headlines are all full of shit like "steroids", "shooting", "drugs", "arrest", "pitbulls"...

Of course, we all know of Michael Vic's dumb-assery, then there's 'Pac-man' Jones and his involvement in a shooting, Steroids at the Tour de France, and so on.
It seems that every time some high priced, overpaid athlete makes it in the big time, they turn stupid. I mean, how can you make that much money and not just enjoy it? How can one do such stupid shit like these big names do? Beyond me.

But when one does something noteworthy, they of course are accused of cheating. Tested for drugs, blah-blah-blah. Bunch of fucked up sore losers I think.

First, look at Lance Armstrong. He kicked ass, and the sorry-ass french accused him of doping. Barry Bonds is fixing to break Hank Aaron's record and people are getting all pissy.
Look, he was never convicted of steroid use. Let him make his record and let's move the hell on. Records are made to be broken. Someday, someone is going to com along and break his record too.

Anyway, fuck sportscasters. I don't watch them anyway.

It's bad enough the government pays subsidies to farmers to not grow some crops. But to keep paying them after they're dead too?

Sweet.
