Ask The Curmudgeon
The Doctor Is In -- and Hot!Well, Jennifer, this is simple really. How much does your husband make? More than a doctor?
DEAR CURMUDGEON: I work in a male-dominated field and am therefore around lots of men every day. Not until I went to see this physician did I feel what I guess people call chemistry. My husband is an absolutely wonderful man and father. He is supportive, funny, successful and loving. However, I am wildly attracted to this other man.
I made up two reasons to have sham appointments. For the last one I dressed as sexy as I could on a workday, and flirted as best I could without seeming too forward. He was friendly but did not initiate anything.
Then, I saw the physician in the grocery store, and he made it a point to smile at me but not speak. My husband and child were with me.
At any rate, I have a follow-up appointment in about one month. Should I be forward with him? (And if so, how?) I do not want to lose my husband, but I am interested in this other man.
--- JENNIFER
I'm guessing probably not. Can he give you the lifestyle you've always dreamed of? Nice expensive cars, jewelry, a mansion? Again, probably not.
You should be chasing Mr. Dr. every chance you get. Be secretive about it though, just in case he ends up being an impossible catch. You don't want your husband kicking you out in the street until you find another doctor to catch. After you nail his ass, then you can dump the old man. He can take care of the kids and you won't have to worry about their sorry asses any more. After all, it is all about you, right?
Stupid fucking slut.

I don't believe that many people on a regular basis fall for the shit. However, if the number is that high, then these people are a bunch of fucking idiots.

A Charcoal Review
I consider myself a grilling expert. Maybe it's just because I'm a guy, whatever. The truth is, I fire up a mean grill. Therefore, I am well qualified to discuss the virtues of grilling with the best of them.
And I don't mean char-broiling on a gas grill. As convenient as those are, gas grilling is akin to baking a frozen pizza. Convenient, quick, easy, and so on. Sure, in a pinch or in a hurry, fire up the gas, throw on a slab of meat and chow down. But for serious charring of dead animal flesh, you just can't beat charcoal.
And the worst thing, is people using gas grills CLEAN THEM! You go and use a gas grill for a month and it gets to the point that it's well seasoned, and people think it's dirty. So they go and scrub all the hell out of it. Remove the ambiance, the character, the subtle flavorings of a well used grill.
Anyway, I experimented with a new batch of charcoal over the weekend. I usually use Kingsford, which for reliability, consistency and ease of use, you are hard pressed to do better than "The Kingsford Edge". I've tried other types, like some shit that was on sale once at a big box store. Fail. Big time.
I also used "Match Light" once when I was in a hurry and the quickie mart didn't have Kingsford. Bad mistake. I'll go without or cut up a piece of furniture before I ever use that shit again. It gave the meat that wonderful "Ford-Falcon-exhaust-pipe-with-bad-set-of-plugs" flavor. Never buy the shit.
So what was the new batch of charcoal you ask? I see "Cowboy Charcoal" at the store and thought I would give it a go. It's basically kiln baked hardwood scraps (chunks of wood flooring, cabinets, whatever), bagged up and sold. It's not compressed squares like Kingsford, just random pieces of charred wood.
It worked well. Good stuff. The thing about it though, is that it burns hot and fast. If you're going to grill some steaks or chops and need blistering heat for a short time, this stuff is the shit. With the help of charcoal lighter fluid, it was ready to use in about 10 minutes. But it only lasted about 15 minutes after that and it was done. Perfect for steaks.
But for the jerky meat I was smoking - which takes several hours, it was gone too quick. No biggie, Kingsford works great for the long, slow cooking and dehydration process required for roasting or smoking. But I won't hesitate to use the Cowboy Charcoal again fer sher.
Update: In the comments, Susan Her Damn Self asked a question:
Gee whiz. What an oversight.
So to continue, the answer is most definitely, yes. I use wood chunks or chips almost every time I grill something. Sometimes chunks are preferable, and sometimes it's the chips.
The difference you ask? Chunks are bigger and bulkier than chips, and therefore burn slower and longer. So for smoking a larger cut of meat like a pork loin, leg o' lamb or brisket, or even a bunch of smaller pieces like jerky or several chicken breasts, you need the wood to sit there and smolder for quite a spell. You need to plan for several hours. Usually allow around 1 hour per pound of meat.
You want the smoke to get good permeation on the meat in order to really have a smoky flavor. This makes for some damn fine bee bee que.
On the other hand, using big wood chunks for steaks or chops, or even small chicken pieces is a waste. You only need to toss a handful or so of ships on the coals to get a decent outdoorsy flavor.
You can get a couple different 'flavors' at places like the grocery store in the picnic section, or the hardware store in the seasonal section. But to be really adventurous, go to BBQ's Galore and try one of their flavors. They have around 30 different 'flavors' of wood chunks including fruitwoods, nutwoods and plain old hardwoods.
Of course by fuitwood, I mean chunks of cherry wood, apple wood, pear wood and so on. So as to not mislead the novice, these aren't just pieces of wood with some sort of flavoring added. These are pieces of the trees chopped up into bagable pieces.
The nutwoods usually include flavors such as pecan or walnut, and a few others I can't think of right off hand, as I haven't tried them.
As for plain old hardwoods, mesquite and hickory seem to be the most common and easiest to come by.
Now I prefer cherry wood over any of the others. I think it imparts the mildest, yet most flavorful taste to the meat, and can be used successfully with every type of meat I've tried. It also adds a touch of 'sweet' to the product which is a desirable characteristic of stronger meats like lamb and wild game. I haven't tried it on fish yet though, so no comment there.
Apple wood and pecan are a close second to cherry wood. I have had good luck with those on every type of meat I have tried them on. Again, no fish, but very good on other types of meat.
Hickory is right up there in third place. It will add that outdoorsy flavor to meat without adding a carbon taste to it. As long as you don't overdo it. It's a good all-purpose wood for cooking.
I rarely use mesquite, and then only for chicken. It doesn't take much mesquite before you've used too much and ruined the meal. If you get a hankerin' to use mesquite, be sure and use it sparingly until you have the ratio perfected.
HTH,
Curmudgeon.

Hero
I would like to shake this guy's hand:
[...]Here's the story:
A Reno television station broadcast a story on Monday of a U.S. veteran, Jim Broussard, cutting down the U.S. flag flying above the bar and taking it away in protest of what the station reported was an illegal display of the flag.
"I took this flag down in honor of my country with a knife from the U.S. Army," Broussard told KRNV-TV.
"I'm not going to see this happen to my country," he said. "I want to see someone fight me for this flag."
[...]
Flag of Mexico Flown Over U.S. Flag at Reno BusinessViewer Posted Comments... courtesy of www.krnv.com
Greg Knight, News 4
On Monday afternoon we received a call from a KRNV News 4 viewer who said a business near downtown Reno was flying a Mexican flag above an American flag... which is in fact illegal.
To read the relevant Federal law, please click here.
This, after photos and comments about the flag were posted on Craigslist this morning. When we were able to have a photographer go and check everything out we found the story to be true.
It also didn't take long before the situation provoked a strong reaction. If you click on the video link in this story we will show you , unedited, what happened.
Click on the video to see what our photographer caught live to tape.
I am disappointed at the reactions reflected here in these comments. I'm confident Jesus would have acted with more civility by asking the owner to correct the situation without a confrontation.Yeah, fuck you , you fucking dumbass. Just who the fuck do you think you are with your holier than thou name dropping bullshit. What the fuck makes you think you can read jeebus' mind?
Many of the comments that I see here reflect a vengeful display of ignorance and intolerance exasperated by group-think, with all the restraint of compassion and forgiveness thrown out the door, then having the audacity to claim God is on their side.
God is not American.
From a www.krnv.com viewer, Ashburn, VA
Judgemental fuck.
Regarding "Flag of Mexico Flown Illegally Over Reno Business", things like this are starting to happen here in New York state.I'm with you there bro.
Governor Spitzer wants illegal aliens to be able to get driving licenses without regard to their legal/illegal status.
HELP! Those of us who have to put up with all of the government bureaucracies for all of these years to keep us legal will not pertain to illegal aliens?
This is discrimination against US citizens and giving preferencial treatment to outsiders who are not supposed to be here (unless obtaining legal status).
Also, the strain will be on "legal", overburdened taxpayers to cover those who are illegal. Where will this all end? The disadvantages outweigh the advantages here.
Al Kresock, Johnson City, NY
The man who tore down the flag is a disgrace to this country.Candy-assed libtard. Kneel before your oppressors and lick their fucking hand, pussy.
How dare you people call him a hero. This type of pull-your-military-knife-out-and-challenge-obvious-pacifists-to-a-fight is the same attitude that has us in the terrible state of world affairs we are in.
Would it have been too much trouble to talk to these Hispanic gentlemen before violently slashing the flag down and leaving the Mexican flag on the ground? All intimidation.
I am a white American male and had no idea that it is illegal to fly a flag from another country above ours. I applaud the store owner for keeping his cool and not resorting to the same barbaric tactics. By supporting this veteran you are supporting an intolerant criminal.
Travis Widner, Portland, OR
Oh, and fuck the store owner. He can go back to Mexico if he's not happy having OUR flag above his.
I believe the actions the American citizen did, was wrong in taking the Flag the way he did. I don't believe that it is necessary to be hostel when defending the Flag. If a law is broken it is the responsibility of the citizen to report it and let Law enforcement handle the situation.Hmmm. Note the name. Stupid fucking spic. Yes. Let us all rely on law enforcement to take care of all of our problems.
In my mind this man was just looking for attention.
Congratulations to the owner for not acting in the same manner as the veteran did. I hope he presses charges on this man for also braking the law. Remember the law is the law.
Patricia Hernandez, Reno
This is the same law enforcement that releases rapists, murderers and druggies back on the street because our jails are too overcrowded.
I saw the news this morning and I congratulate you on showing a video of a vet tearing down the Mexican flag as it hung over the U.S. flag at a local business.Why can't they accept it? Because they don't don't want the to share the same responsibilities we have. They want to come here and make money but don't want to obey the laws and pay the same taxes. They prefer free medical and housing.
The law is the law. We all have to abide by it. It's about time someone took a stand.
Maybe we should picket at the courthouse and voice our displeasure over the ways things are going. We have to be politically correct and not offend anyone and yet we are stepped on and expected to do nothing.
I would love to shake that man's hand and thank him for standing up for America. Regardless of where we come from, we are all Americans. I accept it, why can't they? God Bless America.
James Smith, Reno viewer
The gentlemen who took down the mexican flag should be honored for his patriotism and protecting our flag which was being used illegally. The owner of the bar who claims to be a citizen prefers mexico to America by his actions.With you too there Eddie.
Maybe he needs to have his status checked and if here illegally, deported. Then your followup story had to do with more mexicans protesting.
To hell with them, close the border and finally build the fence that GW promised and has funded.
Eddie Lowenstein, Chatsworth, CA
I think this man is a hero!! I wish more people would step up and act instead sitting down and doing nothing.Amen.
Thank you to all of our veterans and enlisted forces.
Krissy Jonas, Sparks, NV
While I originally applauded the citizen and veteran of our military for correcting the flag issue in Reno yesterday, I am concerned about the impression of vigilante-ism the act will have on our society in general.The place should still be boycotted. No excuse for not knowing which flag went where. Hell, I learned that shit when I was eight years old. Don't try and tell me that fucking moron didn't know he was doing something wrong. I just don't buy it.
While a law was broken and needed to be corrected, I believe a less forceful means may have helped to build a bridge of understanding rather than the forceful act of destruction of private property that was exacted.
Perhaps a boycott and picketing of the establishment would have impacted this business owners operation, or a verbal discussion of the fact that he had broken the law would have been better.
Regardless of the owners intention, if individual citizens start taking law enforcement into their own hands, the brave men and women we expect to be the thin blue line between us and anarchy could be caught in the middle of an eventual firestorm.
Daniel Scinto, Reno, NV
I support the veteran who removed the American flag with his knife.Fuck 'em. Let them try and take it.
They don't deserve to get it back after illegally placing the Mexican flag above ours. If charges are brought against the veteran for theft, I anticipate a firestorm of protest.
This is disgraceful!
Ralph Weir, Carson City
I was so happy that someone finally decided to stand up for Americans. The way the hispanic community disgraces our flag is horrible.I think there is quite a line of people who would love to shake his hand.
Next time they decide to march at the federal building make sure immigation is there, because it's only the illegals that demonstrate.
I would love to meet that guy and shake his hand. God Bless Him.

Assholes
Over the weekend, there was a big wreck on what we locals call the beltway:
Turns out, the person the stupid bitch slammed into was a high school teacher who had only moved here a few months ago.
It seems like there's one of these idiots every six months or so. Someone driving the wrong way on a one way highway. And it seems they're always driving like a bat out of hell too. And though you would think that it would turn out to be an obvious DUI, it seems that isn't usually the case. Usually, they find no chemicals or booze on or in the person.
I just don't understand it. You see a bunch of cars coming toward you, wouldn't you think there was something up? I guess we'll never know. We can't ask them. They dumb fucks always seem to end up dead.
On the other hand, we have dumbassery like this:
But wait! There's more:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Two Killed After High-Speed CollisionThis is a 3 lane freeway, with a physical barrier between north and south lanes. So obviously, the car didn't wander into incoming traffic. The fucking moron had to actually go 'up' the off-ramp, then drive the wrong way down the freeway.
Driver Traveling Wrong Way On The Beltway
LAS VEGAS -- Two people are dead after a wrong-way driver slammed head-on into an oncoming car on the Las Vegas Beltway.
Officials from the Highway Patrol said a trooper saw the Nissan speed past at more than 80 mph on the wrong side of the road -- but lost sight of the vehicle while he was turning around.
Moments later, the car slammed into a Lincoln near Decatur Boulevard.
A woman driving the Nissan and a man driving the Lincoln were killed.

Nevada trooper sentenced in freeway crash that killed fourWhat a fucking dickhead.
By KEN RITTER
ASSOCIATED PRESS
LAS VEGAS (AP) - A former Nevada state trooper was sentenced Tuesday to two to 12 years in state prison for an on-duty crash that killed four people and badly injured a pregnant teen.
Joshua Corcran, 28, who pleaded guilty in June to five counts of felony reckless driving, apologized to the sole surviving victim and her family moments before he was handcuffed and taken into custody.
His wife, Jennifer, sobbed loudly.
"From the bottom of my heart, I'm truly sorry your family members were taken from you," Corcran said, choking back tears. "I'm even more sorry that I was the cause of that."
[...]
Authorities said Corcran was speeding home for dinner at 113 mph and not on an emergency call when his Nevada Highway Patrol cruiser slammed into the back of a slow-moving Cadillac on Interstate 15 just south of Las Vegas.

But wait! There's more:
Police officer exceeded 100 mph in fatal SR 347 crash"Protect and Serve". Yup.
On the morning of Aug. 11, 2007, at about 7:17 a.m. Phoenix Police Officer Jonathan L. Stuart, 24, was driving his Pontiac sedan southbound on SR 347, when he lost control of the vehicle. His vehicle crossed the median, near milepost 178, and landed on top of a Jeep SUV going northbound. Mark J. Ream, 51, drove the Jeep. Stuart and Ream were both Maricopa residents.
Both men perished in the collision.
In a report recently released by the Gila River Police Department, it is estimated Stuart was driving in excess of 100 miles per hour. Witness accounts had indicated speeds from 90-100 mph, but calculations from evidence at the scene indicate a speed at collision of 110.74 mph.
The report also states that an officer had stopped Stuart the previous week for speeding.
Officer Stuart, who joined the PPD in November 2003, worked at the Squaw Peak station near 24th Street and Lincoln Drive in northwest Phoenix.

Fuck The NFL
As a football team, I don't give a flying fuck one way or the other about the New Orleans Saints. They suck, they've pretty much always sucked, and they will probably continue to suck well into the future.
But that's neither here nor there.
The point of this post is the stupidity and marketing of the NFL regarding the New Orleans Saints.
During - or at least in the beginning of every gawd-damn game held at the Superdome, the sportscasters are continually amazed at the resilience of New Orleans and the Saints, and how they were able to recover from the awful tragedies that befell the state of Louisiana which went by the names of Katrina and Rita. They harp about how the city was able to pick themselves up, get back on their feet and rebuild the city and the Superdome. Give me a fucking break. The greedy bastards of the NFL wanted to keep making their money from the football games, and the only way to do that was to get the stadium rebuilt. They don't give a fuck about the rest of the city as long as they can get people in the doors of the stadium.
I'm guessing the people from that area still living in trailers, motels, cars, tents, whatever, and the people who were forced to abandon their lives and move out of state either sit there and cringe at the yammering idiocy of those people, or they turn the teevee off before they're tempted to kick the living shit out of the set.
As for me, I will be avoiding any future Saints games. At least until I know I won't have to be subjected to their bullshit, phony 'praise' for the 'wonderful' people of that 'wonderful' city.

I know, we've already been inundated with the "Global Warming™" propaganda a-plenty lately. It seems us humans are responsible for raising the temperature of the earth, causing the ice caps on the poles to melt, destroying the habitat of polar bears and civilization in general. Especially, us Americans.
But I have a question: What are we doing about all the brush and forest fires that seem to happen every year? Me driving my so-called gas guzzler to work every day puts out a microscopic amount of carbons compared to say, 30 seconds of forest fire.
The way I see it, humans grilling steaks and driving cars can't even hold a candle to the amount of emissions from natural sources.
Go ahead. Prove me wrong.
In the meantime, our esteemed senate majority leader, Harry Fucking Reid, doesn't want us to build coal fired power plants using some of the cleanest equipment and technology in the world. Other countries who of course, don't have to answer to the E.P.A. can build all they want. American businesses who would use better and cleaner technology are fined, regulated and taxed to the point that it becomes economically impossible to build them.
Which makes me wonder, what exactly is Harry Reid for? Of course, he is against anything Bush or any other republican proposes. So tell me, besides "getting them out now", what is he trying to accomplish in his position?

Alaska Grizzly Bear Notice
In light of the increasing frequency of human/grizzly bear encounters, the Alaska Department of Wildlife is encouraging tourists, fishermen and hikers to take extra precautions and keep alert while traveling Alaska this summer.
We advise people to wear some sort of noisemaker on their clothing such as a bell, so as to not startle any bear which may be near. We also advise everyone to carry pepper spray in case of an accidental encounter with a bear.
It is also a good idea to be alert for recent bear activity. Outdoorsmen should learn to recognize the difference between black bear and grizzly bear dung. Black bear dung is smaller, and will contain such food items as berries, and small animal fur. Grizzly bear dung is larger, and will contain little bells and smell like pepper spray.

25 Skills Every Man Should Know
Popular Mechanics has a short list of 25 things a man should know how to do:
My dad showed me how to do for myself the entire time he was a live. I appreciate the hell out of that education. I now have no fear of tearing something apart, fixing it and putting it back together again. Be it a car, a toaster, the bathroom, or whatever.
Things like CPR, paddling a canoe, there are a few things which some people just haven't ever done. Paddle a canoe? Retouch digital photos? Extend a wireless network? Some will never use that sort of 'skill'. No reason to. But CPR or changing a flat tire, you never know. It can't hurt to learn.
On the other hand, some people can't even change a light bulb without calling an electrician fer hell's sake.
A few things I think should also be on the list though, are:
26. Fix a leak/trap in a sink - You should only have to call a plumber some serious shit. Not replacing a drain pipe.
27. Change spark plugs - Being able to properly gap and replace can save hundreds of dollars.
28. Build a dog house or tree house - Pets or kids will appreciate this. And it can be done with less than $100 worth of tools if you really want to.
29. 'Jump' a dead car battery - Even if you have to borrow the cables. It could suck to be stranded for hours waiting for AAA to show up when a 5 minute process can get you on your way.
30. Patch a hole in the wall - Houses built in the last oh, 50 years are all drywall. That shit is easy to knock a hole in just by having something fall against it.
31. Cook a decent meal or three - And I don't mean bachelor food. No frozen pizza, no "Hungry Man" dinners. I mean cook a chicken, steak, roast, some pasta, whatever. And know how to make some fixings to go along with it.
32. Shop for groceries - Again, something besides frozen pizza and teevee dinners. Everyone should know that in order to make a roast, you need more than a can opener.
33. Change a tire - Bike flat? You need to know how to put the spare tire on your car. It ain't that hard.
34. Kill and properly dress an animal for food
35. Grow vegetables - In case you can't buy your own food.
36. General first aid, not just CPR
Oh there are more, but I need to do some stuff. I'll have to add to the list later.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The List: How to...Most of these are a piece of cake. Any guy who works with his hands at all can do most of these things. In fact, any guy who works with his hands at al does a few of these on a regular basis. Things like bleeding brakes, changing the oil in the car, using a wrench, sharpening a knife, cleaning a gun, those should be something you grow up with.
1. Patch a radiator hose
2. Protect your computer
3. Rescue a boater who as capsized
4. Frame a wall
5. Retouch digital photos
6. Back up a trailer
7. Build a campfire
8. Fix a dead outlet
9. Navigate with a map and compass
10. Use a torque wrench
11. Sharpen a knife
12. Perform CPR
13. Fillet a fish
14. Maneuver a car out of a skid
15. Get a car unstuck
16. Back up data
17. Paint a room
18. Mix concrete
19. Clean a bolt-action rifle
20. Change oil and filter
21. Hook up an HDTV
22. Bleed brakes
23. Paddle a canoe
24. Fix a bike flat
25. Extend your wireless network
My dad showed me how to do for myself the entire time he was a live. I appreciate the hell out of that education. I now have no fear of tearing something apart, fixing it and putting it back together again. Be it a car, a toaster, the bathroom, or whatever.
Things like CPR, paddling a canoe, there are a few things which some people just haven't ever done. Paddle a canoe? Retouch digital photos? Extend a wireless network? Some will never use that sort of 'skill'. No reason to. But CPR or changing a flat tire, you never know. It can't hurt to learn.
On the other hand, some people can't even change a light bulb without calling an electrician fer hell's sake.
A few things I think should also be on the list though, are:
26. Fix a leak/trap in a sink - You should only have to call a plumber some serious shit. Not replacing a drain pipe.
27. Change spark plugs - Being able to properly gap and replace can save hundreds of dollars.
28. Build a dog house or tree house - Pets or kids will appreciate this. And it can be done with less than $100 worth of tools if you really want to.
29. 'Jump' a dead car battery - Even if you have to borrow the cables. It could suck to be stranded for hours waiting for AAA to show up when a 5 minute process can get you on your way.
30. Patch a hole in the wall - Houses built in the last oh, 50 years are all drywall. That shit is easy to knock a hole in just by having something fall against it.

This Shit Makes Me Sick
Jury can hear part of Flight 93 tapeLook people, I know you're upset, mortified even at the loss of loved ones. I don't blame you for wanting some sort of closure or restitution. But eeking it out of airlines, airplane manufacturers or security personnel ain't the correct source.
By LARRY NEUMEISTER, Associated Press Writer Wed Sep 12, 3:48 PM ET
NEW YORK - The dramatic final moments of United Airlines Flight 93 that were captured on a cockpit voice recorder can be played for a jury at the first trial stemming from lawsuits filed after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, a judge ruled Wednesday.
[...]
It was a bunch of crazed camel fuckers who caused this. A gang of purveyors of the "Religion Of Peace™" who caused the deaths of thousands of people and the loss of billions of dollars to people, the economy, the travel and airline industry, and bullshit security precautions we are all still forced to endure.
But I think you folks conniving for a settlement are chasing the dog instead of the quail. Yeah, you go after your settlement, make your lawyers happy with their new landfall, pay off their homes and Jaguars. It won't bring your loved ones back.
In the meantime, Allah and his followers are laughing in your fucking face at your greed.

That's Entertainment
So, did anyone watch the Sorry Excuse For An Awards Show Video Music Awards? Neither did I.
Nor will I ever. Home don't do that. Homey don't watch award shows. Any of them. Ever. VMA's, Oscars, Tonys, Miss America, you name it, if someone is getting an award, I refuse to be in the same room as the teevee tuned to the show.
Why? Well, I shouldn't have to esplain misself, but they suck. They're bogus, they're phoney, they're plastic, they're all Hollywood types strutting around with the pomp and the circumstance and the glitter and the glitz and the flashbulbs and the fake tits and the well rehearsed smiles and the expensive rented jewelry and the gawdy bullshit, until you forget why the hell they're even there other than to show shit off. But, they have a host, so the host reminds you they are in the running for an award.
Annnnnyway, eM Tee Vee hasn't had any decent programming on it for centuries it seems. Back in the day, when they actually - get ready for it - played music (I know! Can you believe that? They used to play music on "Music Television!") - they were ths shit. I used to spend way too much time watching them years ago. Can't stomach the shit any more though.
So, I didn't watch the awards Sunday night, but I heard the stories. I heard the one about the blond bimbo who likes to seems to emulate Liz Taylor and marry as many people as she possibly can (Good gawd woman. Have you never heard of shacking the fuck up?), calf out a kid or so, then start all over again.
Too bad she didn't spend more time rehearsing.
I hear she can't even do a sing-along without fucking that up.
Then there's the story about how a brotha can't get a break. Yes, seems Kanye West (I gave him an award back here) was all upset when he didn't get a grammy for some of his shit. Shit being the operative word here. Seems he had to go and throw down the race card fo shizzle:
Oh, and of course, there was the "Clash of the Hepatites". I.e., the battle betwixt Tommy Lee and KidCrock er, Rock. Sorrrreeeee. What were they fighting over? Don't know. Don't care. That pumped up blond bitch they both had a turn at sure as fuck ain't worth skinning your knuckles over. But nevertheless, fight they did.
Yup. It's all about musical talent, innit?

A Short Course In Creative Writing
Judy, a professional genealogical researcher, discovered that Hillary Clinton's great-great uncle, Remus Rodham, a fellow lacking in character, was hanged for horse stealing and train robbery in Montana in 1889.
The only known photograph of Remus shows him standing on the gallows. On the back of the picture is this inscription: "Remus Rodham; horse thief, sent to Montana Territorial Prison 1885, escaped 1887, robbed the Montana Flyer six times. Caught by Pinkerton detectives, convicted and hanged in 1889."
Judy e-mailed Hillary Clinton for comments. Hillary's staff of professional image adjusters cropped Remus's picture, scanned it, enlarged the image, and edited it with image processing software so all that's seen is a head shot.
The accompanying biographical sketch is as follows: "Remus Rodham was a famous cowboy in the Montana Territory. His business empire grew to include acquisition of valuable equestrian assets and intimate dealings with the Montana railroad. Beginning in 1883, he devoted several years of his life to service at a government facility, finally taking leave to resume his dealings with the railroad. In 1887, he was a key player in a vital investigation run by the renowned Pinkerton Detective Agency. In 1889, Remus passed away during an important civic function held in his honor when the platform upon which he was standing collapsed."
And THAT is how it's done folks!

Man takes pry bar to self-check tillAll I can say is, glad to hear it.
Machine whacked after speaking to him in Spanish
By BRAD WONG
P-I REPORTER
Well, let's look at it this way: At least, this guy wasn't buying a blowtorch.
But that age-old adage that patience is a virtue somehow slipped the mind of a man shopping at The Home Depot on Utah Avenue South in Seattle on Thursday.
Around 9 p.m., the man was in line at a self-service checkout stand, ready to buy a pry bar and a hacksaw, according to a Seattle police report.
But, as a manager told an officer, the man accidentally hit the button on the computer screen for Spanish.
That was the tipping point for this consumer.
He became "frustrated that the machine was speaking Spanish," the police report says.
So, instead of asking for help, he let loose a blow with the pry bar and shattered the computer. He ran from the store and made a beeline to some railroad tracks, the report said.
A Seattle police officer searched for the man, but didn't find him.
The manager believes he caused about $10,000 in damage. He left the pry bar in his shopping cart.
This is America. You wanna live here, learn to speak American.
