I saw a photo where a neighbor put up a handmade sign on their property pointing to next door with "Child Molester", clearly printed on the sign. That's great! Keep up the good work!

Nice dog

It will be a while before I will forget Sampson entering the van and relegating me to the far back seat. This german shepherd sat in a second row seat as comfortable as he could. Silly boy!

Where some are

These only show those that are registered. I think the law should read that any non-registered may be shot on sight -- no questions asked. If I were on the jury in the case of a person slaying a known and convicted child molester, I might heavily scrutinize the facts in his/her favor. Okay, okay ... I'd vote not guilty. I cannot condone vigilantism, but would offer lesser punishment for those convicted.

Taxes

MR is historically earlier than I am in filing his taxes. I got a form Saturday and have begun filing. Man, oh, man! I hope to beat in this year. It's my own little race.

Only if you're mad!

One movie that really struck me was Robocop. Yes ... undoubtedly a stupid, yet enjoyable film. The director later went on to make similar-imagry movies like Starship Troopers, Total Recall, and Basic Instict (?). Anyway ... I just thought this morning of a scene from Robocop when he is beating the _____ out of Clarence Boddicker (Kurtwood Smith of That 70s Show -- more funny as a cop-killing drug dealer turns dad). As he's being thrown through 6' tall windows in office spaces he blurts out to Robocop that he works for Dick Jones. I quickly replaced some of the dialogue in my head.

[crash] [slump] [Robocop picks up Clarence by the throat] "I work for Dick Chaney. Dick Chaney! Dick Chaney works for Bush. Bush runs the country!"

[shocked look over Clarence's face as he's being killed]
[Rococop stops choking him]

If you haven't seen this brutal movie, which apparently was edited to get it to "R", it's quotable. The director apparently had the concept of making it so violent that it was comical. I'd like to see the original!

quotes:

"It's a sophisticated bang bang."
"I'd buy that for a dollar!"
"Can you fly, Bobby?"
"I want a really fast car that gets really ____y gas mileage!"
"Nuke 'em! The family game."
"Do you have any advice to kids?" "Stay out of trouble"
"Don't _____ with Jones man! He'll make sushi out of ya."
"I'm sure it's just a glitch." (after ED 209 pumped 100 rounds of 50 calibur bullets into an executive) "A glitch?"
"Somebody call an ambulance!" (same scene, where a rag of a torso lies over a model of "New" Detroit)
"Look at my face DICK!"
"Looks like we'll be partners afterall, Richard."
"You want a cigarette?" "No. Ya know? Those things will kill ya." (shotgun-armed bank robber)

(requires the visual)
"We don't have a safe." "There's your safe!" (kicking down a tower of cans)
(desk sergent talks to officer as she kicks and beats suspect into submission) "When you're done ______ with your suspect, I have something for you."
(strip mall building explodes after being shot with "sophisticated bang bang") Paul McCrane of ER states excitedly, "I like it!"
"You burned the money! You burned the _________ money!" (incinerated bills from bank heist)

VD XP, thankfully not for me!

Mum and I were discussing he-who-shall-not-be-named and his known V.D. With his wonderful choice of "partners", he apparently is collecting them. I know only, through the folks and his mother which one he already had. The new ones are unknown to me. One way to stop getting them would be to say:
use protection or better still
choose different person and use protection
Will he-who-shall-not-be-named do either?

[Eight ball shaking]

My sources say no.

On the lighter side, perhaps they will terminate him faster than the time-traveling terminator I ordered. I got a notice oddly post-dated ... on back order
