Pictured: The Cave of Crystals discovered 1,000ft below a Mexican desert

By Victoria Moore

Created 10:15 PM on 27th October 2008

Until you notice the orange-suited men clambering around, it's hard to grasp the extraordinary scale of this underground crystal forest.

Nearly 1,000ft below the Chihuahua Desert in Mexico, this cave was discovered by two brothers drilling in the Naica lead and silver mine. It is an eerie sight.

Up to 170 giant, luminous obelisks - the biggest is 37.4ft long and the equivalent height of six men - jut across the grotto like tangled pillars of light; and the damp rock of their walls is covered with yet more flawless clusters of blade-sharp crystal.

Go read the rest. It's neat-o.

Tricky Treat!

So as I was leaving the dentist's office Wednesday after getting my head drilled, his parting words were "Be sure and buy lots of candy for the trick or treaters, keep me in business."
Gave me a chuckle it did.

So with that, I went to get the goodies for the little bastards last night, and after the cashier scanned the sixth 3 pound bag of goodies, she pointed to the 'Oh wait, I need one of those' piles they have at the register - you know, the little things they try to upsell and add to your purchase when they're all done scanning your cart full. She points and says "Are you sure you don't need one more?"
Hah friggin' hah. The bitch doesn't know it, but I get so many of the little shits coming by that I may still run out.

See, I don't want to be out scrubbing eggs off the house and cars, nor do I want to remove toilet paper from the trees or shrubs. So I do like every other homeowner in a decent yet ungated neighborhood and stock up on the cavity inducing insurance policy for the neighborhood kids, as well as the carloads of mexican kids who come from neighborhoods where parents don't dare walk at night, let alone allow their kids to walk. This way, I don't have to do anything the next day but gather up the decorations I myself have put out without worrying about getting 'tricked'.

So there you have it. I have the treats bought, I will pick up my adult 'treats' on the way home, and Mrs Curmudgeon and I will park our asses on the lawn chairs in the driveway and give away 'free' shit to all the little kiddies (many of which are teenagers) who grace us with their presence.

BOSTON – A prosecutor said Tuesday he is investigating whether criminal charges should be filed after an 8-year-old boy accidentally killed himself while firing an Uzi submachine gun at a gun fair in western Massachusetts.

I agree. There should be criminal charges filed.
Not against the expo, not against the sportsman's club, not against the gun owner, but against the father. He should have had better judgment than to let his inexperienced kid shoot a gun when he wasn't big enough to handle it. If nothing else, he should have helped the kid hold it. It's his own stupid fucking fault.

I won't tell you who I voted for, but I will tell you I voted against closet muslims, socialism, higher taxes and ... and ... I believe that now I'll be considered a RELIGION CLINGING, GUN TOTIN' RACIST!!!

I also studied up on the ballot questions and voted against: "Eliminate the requirement that a person must reside in Nevada for 6 months prior to an election in order to be eligible to vote in that election." People should live here and know what the hell is going on before they are allowed to vote for something. Six months may still not be long enough.

I voted for making it harder for local government to take people's homes or property using eminent domain.
I voted against anything that had to do with raising taxes, or making it easier for our so-called 'leaders' to reallocate money without public opinion first.
See, I think they should use the money they already get for taxes more wisely rather than try and get more for their dumb-ass special projects.

Anyway, the rest of you get to the polls. Early voting is way cool. No long lines, in and out in minutes.

Restaurant closed after dead deer found in kitchen

Mon Oct 27, 9:04 pm ET

HAMBURG, N.Y. – Health officials shut down a suburban Buffalo restaurant after an inspector found employees butchering a dead deer inside the business. Erie County Health Department officials said they got a tip Friday about a dead deer in the China King restaurant in the town of Hamburg, just south of Buffalo.

An inspector soon arrived and saw the deer being butchered in the kitchen.

State health laws prohibit butchering an animal inside a restaurant.

Officials don't know whether the deer had been killed by a hunter or a vehicle. They said there was no indication the deer meat was served to any customers.

The message on the restaurant's answering machine Monday says it was closed because of "family emergencies."

Big deal. A little deer meat in some chinese food? Sounds good to me.
Bambi Bok Choy? Sweet and sour Stag? Egg fu fawn?
Mmmmmm. My mouth waters.

I'm guessing that if you eat chinese on a regular basis, you have probably had a taste of practically every living creature on this planet at some time anyway. What's one more critter added to the mix?

Some Chuckles

Stolen from here. Yes, some are old, but they're still funny:

One Liners

1) I saw a fat woman wearing a sweatshirt with 'Guess' on it. I said 'Thyroid problem?'

2) When I was a kid I used to pray every night for a new bike. Then I realised that The Lord doesn't work that way, so I stole one and asked him to forgive me.

3) I've often wanted to drown my troubles, but I can't get my wife to go swimming.

4) I was doing some decorating, so I got out my step-ladder. I don't get on with my real ladder.

5) I went to a restaurant that serves 'breakfast at any time'. So I ordered French Toast during the Renaissance.

6) A cement mixer collided with a prison van on the Kingston Bypass. Motorists are asked to be on the lookout for 16 hardened criminals.

7) Well I was bullied at school, called all kinds of different names. But one day I turned to my bullies and said 'Sticks and stones may break my bones but names will never hurt me', and it worked! >From there on it was sticks and stones all the way.

8) My Dad used to say 'always fight fire with fire', which is probably why he got thrown out of the fire brigade.

9) S*x is like playing bridge: If you don't have a good partner, you better have a good hand.

10) I saw six men kicking and punching the mother-in-law. My neighbour said 'Are you going to help?'
I said 'No, six should be enough.'

11) If we aren't supposed to eat animals, then why are they made out of meat?

12) I think animal testing is a terrible idea; they get all nervous and give the wrong answers.

13) You know that look women get when they want s*x? No, me neither

14) Politicians are wonderful people as long as they stay away from things they don't understand, such as working for a living.

15) I was the kid next door's imaginary friend.

16) Right now I'm having amnesia and deja vu at the same time. I think I've forgotten this before

The Big Game

So do any of you watch baseball on a regular basis?

I sometimes get roped into watching a game, usually because there ain't nothing better on the teevee, which - believe it or not - is most of the time. But then, I think to myself "Is this the best you can do?".
Well, I just don't get all thrilled about baseball any more. I used to not mind it, but the more I actually analyze it, the stupider it gets.

First of all, you have a bunch of primadonna, money grubbing assholes out there basically playing catch. Unless of course, it starts to sprinkle. Oh no. Can't be getting wet now. Might muss up the dirt. Or my hair.

It's lopsided: There is no team vs team in baseball. You have one batter facing a pitcher, who if he happens to fuck up, has eight other teammates standing around just waiting to cover his ass. If he fucks up bad enough, the batter's team gets a point. If the batter fucks up, he gets to go sit down a rest until he has to bat again, or cover his pitchers' ass.

Errors: Who the hell came up with that shit? You're responsible for covering the pitcher's ass if he fucks up, and if YOU then fuck up, you get charged with - wait for it - an 'Error'. You get a boo-boo marked on your report card. "Number XX dropped the ball. He gets charged with the 'Error'".
It doesn't give his team any points, doesn't take away any points from the other team, it just ensures that the rest of the world knows that YOU really fucked up. It's all YOUR fault if your team don't win.

Designated hitter/runner: Biggest farce in the whole gawddamn game.
Look. If you can't play your position in it's entirety, then get someone on the team who can!
"Hey! You go hit the ball for me, and I'll do the running!"
"Okay! That sounds like a good idea!"

Now if a quarterback can make a hand-off but can't pass, are the coaches of the NFL going to put the 'passing' quarterback in on that play? I really don't think so.

Naw, I don't really give a shit who wins the world series. Wake me up when it's over.

Fuck It

What to do, what to do...

I sorta somewhat decided that I was tired of bitching all the time about politics and politicians.

I mean, this isn't one of those blogs that is read by brazillions of people on a daily basis, so it's not like my opinion is going to reach the far corners of the earth. My loyal readers for the most part, already know my opinion, and many are along the same line of thinking.

On top of that, Mrs Curmudgeon tells me a few days ago, "Jeebus, Dave! You're like a reformed smoker when it comes to the politics any more!" And she's right I reckon. I read some idiots' editorial and there I am, yelling at the newspaper, the teevee, the computer, whatever the hell media I happen to be immersed in. Up goes the temper, the blood pressure, the dogs.

Yes, even the dogs take off into the kitchen and hide under the table thinking they must surely be in trouble for something. Maybe shit on the floor and don't remember? Maybe chewed up a shoe? Something is wrong, 'Master' is yelling!

I've already made up my mind who's getting my vote for prez, and I'm looking into the rest of the shit on the ballot for the local government and propositions. I figger I'll try and get down to the early polling place sometime this week, and if not, well I'll just go on the big day.

But whatever. The point of this post is that I'm just sick of politics. I've never liked it and all of a sudden, I got myself all worked up and wrapped around it this year, and fuck it. I fucking HATE politics. Always have. I'll leave politics to the people who like the shit.

Sure, I'll do my research when it comes time for voting in the future, but any political bullshit posts will be few and far between any more on this here blog. There are plenty of other sources out there, many of whom are far more eloquent that I at relaying information and opinion.

Besides. Ain't there enough other bullshit things happening in this world that I can bitch about with pointing out how big of a fucking idiot Obamm-bamm is? Ain't there enough blogs already beating this shit into the ground? Yes.

So from here on out, that's what you'll get. Less - if any - mention of Obambi, Hitlary, McLame-brain, Saracuda, ...
What will you get? More entertainment, more me, more stupid shit from around this great big ole' world of ours.

Hawaii ending universal child health care

By MARK NIESSE – Fri Oct 17, 3:29 am ET

HONOLULU – Hawaii is dropping the only state universal child health care program in the country just seven months after it launched.

Gov. Linda Lingle's administration cited budget shortfalls and other available health care options for eliminating funding for the program. A state official said families were dropping private coverage so their children would be eligible for the subsidized plan.

"People who were already able to afford health care began to stop paying for it so they could get it for free," said Dr. Kenny Fink, the administrator for Med-QUEST at the Department of Human Services. "I don't believe that was the intent of the program."

If you oppose Barack Obama, because his philosophy is that the government should provide everything for everyone from cradle to grave, go right ahead. You are not a racist.

If you oppose Barack Obama because, given his past associations, you don’t want to turn the American arsenal over to a person who wouldn’t be able to get a security clearance that would allow him to mop the floors at CIA headquarters, go right ahead. You are not a racist.

If you oppose Barack Obama’s plan to rescue the American economy by increasing taxes on “Big Corporations” and increasing capital gains taxes, go right ahead. You are not a racist.

If you oppose Barack Obama, because his only real accomplishments are the ability to run an effective campaign and to read well from a teleprompter, go right ahead. You are not a racist.

If you oppose Barack Obama, because his income redistribution plan is something that would make Karl Marx proud, go right ahead. You are not a racist.

If you oppose Barack Obama, because his plans for Iraq would have resulted in the surrender by American forces, go right ahead. You are not a racist.

Why the bailout isn't working

[...]
Just a couple of weeks ago, Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson and Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke asked Congress to approve a $700 billion rescue of the banking industry. Without this sudden, massive infusion of federal cash, we were told, economic disaster loomed. Prompt approval, on the other hand, would assure the solvency of the financial sector, thaw frozen credit flows, and give investors a badly needed dose of confidence.

In the end, Congress approved the package—seeing as how the alternative was rising unemployment, a plunging stock market, and corporations unable to borrow to cover their short-term obligations. Now, with the bailout proceeding according to plan, Americans are confronted with...rising unemployment, a plunging stock market, and corporations unable to borrow to cover their short-term obligations.
[...]

So then, other than getting some pork barrel items approved which were tacked onto it, tell me again what this bill accomplished?

The American Thinker has gone and detailed things here:

[...]
This emergency was brought about by government interference and influence and manipulated for political ends by the lawless opportunists that inhabit congress. It will accomplish four things:

(1) Distract the voter from the reality of a Democrat-controlled congress so bumbling and corrupt its approval ratings are in the single digits.

(2) Save failing Democrat-run mortgage companies Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae and avert, for a time, their disastrous influence on the economy and Democrat party image.

(3) Confuse the electorate into blaming the Republicans, who have called for oversight for decades, only to have it blocked by Democrats.

(4) Set up Obama to play the reformer, which he is decidedly not, as he is neck-deep in Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac money and complicit in moving federal money to leftist "philanthropic" front groups in Illinois such as the failed Annenberg Challenge.

Mrs. Curmudgeon informed me last night that a co-worker and friend of ours stated that she could outdo anyone when it comes to scarfing down crab legs. Mrs. Curmudgeon - with that "My daddy can whoop your daddy" air about her, said "You don't know my husband when he's eating crab legs. He's a machine."

So with me none the wiser, the challenge was cast forth and accepted, and there I was, smack dab in the middle of the foray.

No prob. After being informed of the events which transpired, with me of course being the sport I am and not wanting to let the Mrs. down, I accepted the challenge.
And to "T" I say, "BAH! Bring it on!" Surely, I can eat more crab legs than a girl!

So I will report back tomorrow on which of us ends up the victor, and reigns atop the mountain of crab carcasses.
