I Really Like This Song

Turn it up!!!

Song lyrics | I'm A Believer lyrics

Hoppy Esther

Yeah, I spelled it like I wanted to spell it.

Anyway, I hope you all had a good Easter weekend and all that shit.

Easter - you know, the 'other' big religious to-do Christians have every year. Along with "Black Friday", we also have a "Black Sunday". This isn't as big of spending day for merchants, other than extra beer, hams and BBQ grills, but it does help put the church coffers in the black for the year.
Standing room only at the churches by the people who call themselves Christians yet only go to church twice a year - Easter Sunday and Christmas eve. But it makes for a decent haul by the preachers. Probably gets them a new roof or organ for the church and a new Cadillac in the driveway.

Halle-friffin'-lujah. Show how much you love Jeebus by filling up the collection plate!

So anyway, it was a good weekend around the house. We had the family over and made ham, ribs and tater salad. Hot food, beautiful weather, and cold beer.

Ahhh. I love Easter.

NEW YORK - Dan Fogelberg, the singer and songwriter whose hits "Leader of the Band" and "Same Old Lang Syne" helped define the soft-rock era, died Sunday at his home in Maine after battling prostate cancer. He was 56.

I really like his music, although he hasn't put out anything noteworthy for a spell.

He was a good storyteller.

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.

Thought You Should Know

One of the vacation days last week (yes - the one I have yet to post pictures of) was spent driving south from northern California through the famed 'wine country' to get to where we had a room reserved for the night, many, many miles down the road.

Around 2 or 3 p.m., after being in the car for at least 6+ hours, wanting to stretch, ready for some lunch, and generally a little punchy, we were driving through a small town which sported a small tavern on main street named "Copa Cabana". I know, I hear the collective Good Gawd!

That itself wasn't a good thing, but wait. It gets worse.

So there I am, tired, thirsty, hungry, punchy, and well, brain dead or something. I don't know. But out it slipped. The inside of the car soon reverberated with - yes - you guessed it, "♫♪♫ At the Copa, Copa Cabana. ♫♫♪ The hottest spot north of Havana... ♫♪♪"

Mrs. Curmudgeon: Uh, Dave...

Curmudgeon: Yeeees?

Mrs. Curmudgeon: Uh, those of us in this generation... first, don't even admit we know the lyrics to that song, and second... don't sing it out loud.

Curmudgeon: Very true. All done.

Baby monitor picks up video from NASA

Finger Length Predicts SAT Performance

LiveScience.com - Wed May 23, 1:25 AM ET

A quick look at the lengths of children's index and ring fingers can be used to predict how well students will perform on SATs, new research claims. Kids with longer ring fingers compared to index fingers are likely to have higher math scores than literacy or verbal scores on the college entrance exam, while children with the reverse finger-length ratio are likely to have higher reading and writing, or verbal, scores versus math scores. ...

Here we go with another useless study.

Fucking morons. Look. The only advantage finger length has for high school students is pleasuring Sally in the back seat of the Accord.

Making a difference on how well you take tests? Coincidence - maybe. Science fact - not so much.

Von's

I'm impressed.

I went to Von's grocery store after work yesterday to pick up a few things.
Now usually, when you go to the store you hear some sort of 'Muzak' in the air - which, most times at least makes you yawn, if it doesn't put you to sleep in the aisles.

But no, Von's was playing some good shit. I was gathering up a cartload when "Tom Sawyer" by Rush came on the speakers.

Now that is some good shit to shop to.

Radio jock Imus suspended for two weeks

By Arthur Spiegelman 1 hour, 12 minutes ago

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Shock jock Don Imus, who has made a career out of outrageous comments, was suspended on Monday for making racist remarks by both the radio and television networks that carry his program.

CBS Radio and MSNBC, which broadcasts the radio show on television, suspended Imus for two weeks for saying the mostly black Rutgers University women's basketball team looked like a bunch of "nappy-headed hos."
[...]

The two main arguments I've heard are:

1. "CSB/MSNBC hired him knowing what he is like, so they shouldn't be penalizing him for doing what he does."
2. "He said a racist thing and should be fired immediately."

The way I see it, is if those words were part of on of the many rap "songs" on the market, he would have a hit record on his hands. Especially if he was black.
Fucking shit.

Lyrics in rap songs are more derogatory than anything to ever the radio and teevee airwaves, but yet those are not only totally acceptable, but they're worth a fucking fortune.

You don't see Al Sharpton clouding up and raining all over rappers asses.
