marriage counselor

I was walking with Charlie, Keith, Echo, Cheyenne when I saw this on a lawn. Marriage counseling a block away, how convenient. More convenient than your local drugstore, settling the bitching arguments right after a good, long, hard-earned fight.
Example: Boy was I pissed! I was walking down the street grumbling to myself, making scars in the sidewalk while I carried "my life" in my suitcase when I saw the sign. That's it! I dropped the case and ran back to my woman and after getting some bruises from dragging her there, I found that I was the problem and that I should, uh ... after the thirteth **ck you, I kinda forgot it, but anyway, I was then able to go back and get more of my stuff while the counselor and my woman had a great conversation about what a rotten SOB I am. Gosh, thanks! I never would have gotten some of this back from her.

example 2: There we were, shouting in the street at each other -- no one to blame, then she saw the sign -- counseling. That's what we need, so we went in and imagine my surprise when we were bitching so long that we didn't see that she wasn't home, nor that she and the couple she was seeing jumped in the car and fled as if bomb-strapped terrorists had wandered onto her porch. We didn't pay a dime.

Hey, guys, just FYI: we're gonna start nuki'

or "Nuke 'em"; get them before they get you.

I actually understand exactly why Israel is attacking, as they are surrounded by groups hostile to them for a long time. If Hezboula is expunged, there is Hamas, then anything group. Iran paying for them is hardly surprising.

Israel named after battling God. Israel also meaning chosen by God after battling the angel. I think the Lebanon be might better named Samson, forever warring, weakened by seduction, allowed strength to fight one last time, killing all, he perishing too.

Do you remember when you kicked me out of my office on Christmas Eve? Ever since then, my wife left me, took my kids, I lost my car, and I have been BLIND STINKING DRUNK!

I don't like not working. I remember two years ago, I enjoyed sitting around in summer, reading book after book, but not this year. I'd like money and responsibility and income, and mind-stimulating activities.

What can I say, Lori does great work! I got this with a "hi". Well, then, "Hi Lori". Pick a cake (your cake) I'm glad that she's holding here, as I would have clownishly plowed it into my face or on the floor -- comically not intentional. I wonder to whom this goes?

Since she does this at work and at home ... I see from background it's home. Summer fun -- cousin birthday or perhaps a whenever cake.

A&E documentary sours

I turned to an A&E documentary on a boy who had "anger control problems".  He threatened death to a teacher -- therefore, expelled from junior high school (8th grade).  So, he is at home, stewing.  During the interview the mother came across as, well ... non-too bright.  Hey!  He's got anger control problems and he proudly shows his marks of attack on walls and items.  What else does a angry youth need?  Yep, you guessed it ... guns.  He has a rifle on a mantle and his own shotgun.  That sure makes dealing with anger easy -- kill it.

 

Why did they air this?  Either it was all for show or he on the way to institutionation, aided by his mother.  Why not just have him arrested when he assaults her... nope, that would be smart and safe for society.  It makes for bad watching -- too happy of an ending.

Pee Wee Fishburn

Pee Wee, do you know what the playhouse is? It's the chair "Chairy", it's the lights.
Morpheus (Cowbois): unfortunately no one can be told what the playhouse is, you have to be shown

I know what you're thinking, why didn't I stay on the other channel.

tandem bike

Wow! I haven't seen that in ... oh, my, decades. Thankfully I saw a woman and man, not man-man tandem. You know why they're gay ...

If you haven't ridden a tandem bike, you should know that you go no faster than a regular bike and overall exertion from mistiming and not being in rhythm makes you about 89% as efficient as a solo bike. It's a nice concept ... all the wagons going in the same direction, but poor in application.

I'll buy that for a dollar

Firefox 2 with anti-phishing ... I'll have to get it. Sorry Bill Dance, you've been cashed out!

Give us money, please

I got a notice from the ASUS (Animal Santucary of the United States/WAO (Wild Animal Orphanage).

The notice was, surprise, surprise, was asking for money. Now, it started with "now caring for 350 hurrican Katrina animal orphans". That's nice, probably true. Supposedly they have over 800 animals in their care. They procalimed that the organization meets BBB (Better Business Bureau) standards and that they care for even exotic animals (listing many you might find in zoos as they are not indiginous to the US). All of that isn't a problem. I can even understand the donation request, but ...

if you have homeless domestic animals generally regarded as pets like, dogs, cats, birds, etc. ... it is unreasonable to ask also to take one into your house? They mentioned nothing of adopting the poor critters. They only wanted money. That is why I said, "nay nay"*.

I'm not sure, but I think there's cheating

My girlfriend keeps requesting our songs, Creep by TLC, and Follow Me by Uncle Kracker. I'm not sure, but she might be cheating. I suppose it makes sense that she likes to wear men's boxers -- too wide for her waist. I guess it makes sense that there's that third toothbrush that she exclaims, "don't use that one!"

looking out for friends

"I'm tellin' you, these things sell themselves. A customer comes in looking at an H2 and you don't need to try to sell it; the customer just jumps right in and buys it." -- six months ago.

"That sumbeach has sat there gettin' dusty ever since the [gas] prices went up! Now let me tell you, that thar is a damn fine auto, if you ask me." -- present day

Thanks for the ad MR, but I think that car dealing, unless it's not a gas guzzler, is rough right now. Gas prices coaster makes any car, well, a maybe. Thanks for the thought!

BTW: "these cars sell themselves" is a very obscure quote. An award to someone who figures out the quote. Hints: not from Used Cars

2 jokes care of Jim

Due to a power outage, only one paramedic responded to the call. The house was very dark so the paramedic asked Kathleen, a 3-yr old girl to hold a flashlight high over her mommy so he could see while he helped deliver the baby. Very diligently, Kathleen did as she was asked. Heidi pushed and pushed and after a little while, Connor was born. The paramedic lifted him by his little feet and spanked him on his bottom. Connor began to cry. The paramedic then thanked Kathleen for her help and asked the wide-eyed 3-yr old what she thought about what she had just witnessed. Kathleen quickly responded, "He shouldn't have crawled in there in the first place......smack his butt again!"

The reason that we can't have the Ten Commandments in a courthouse is that you cannot post "Thou Shalt Not Steal", "Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery", and "Thou Shalt Not Lie" in a building full of lawyers, judges and politicians. It creates a hostile work environment.

Bitch about Mitch

The Governor has mailings.  I unsubscribed to no avail.  He spams me, or rather his supporters do.  I eventually blocked his address.  Since I saw nothing from the dweeb in a while, I thought -- freedom, but no.  The moment I turned off the block -- the masseages came in like mosquitos.  I fianlly "updated" my account and entered a random aol address.  This seems cruel, but it isn't.  AOL always gives warnings about new addresses, foreign mail, etc.  Whoever got it is likely to have AOL kill it daily.  If you can't win, give it another target.

 

As far as governor ... I think, like many others -- flunky!  Did you skip ehtics, do C work in Economics and excel inspeech class with project:  talk about anything for ten mintues -- tangents allowed?  I know its a tough job, but what I see is a lingering, sleeping-perhaps, state economy, job sources, and chest pounding.

 

I must lease the highway.  That's okay, if people then stop using it, then Indiana gets the money from the foreign company ($4 billion, I think upfront) and they maintain an unused road because nobody wants to pay higher rates and send the money out of the country.  The state government passes crud, sometimes co-authored by the governor, naming places, finalizing the daylight savings time -- welcome to the 48 other states Indiana -- ancient weaspons and a hokey religion

 

There are people in the state govenment who take surveys to learn of constuents' concerns and perspectives.  Mike Ripley, David Long do that.  Thanks for your interest and I do vote for you, because ... you do care.

 

To the mayor of my city and to the current governor, "Why don't you just quit!"+

What's that count down?

10 .. 9 ... 8 ...

Why would you poke at a line with a straw? Islamic terrorists attack Israel, but that isn't news. Israel's resolve was, well, more dramatic. Okay, that's it. I've had my fill of 'pester pester pester'. When you hurt my people, you hurt my emotions.

I think that Israel is done playing. Do the locals undersnd the consequences? As an outsider, I would wonder why the Palestinians never made houses after 20 years, let alone 50 + years. Now, with the treaty, more former-Israeli territory is Palestinian, but that isn't enough. If the Islamic world didn't understand, attacking Israel, an ally in the area, well trained, armed; the US is certainly going to back them. Islamic terrorists have been responsible for most of the hijackings, bombings, murder plots. Iran has a long-standing tradition of hating America, the great satan, still including "death to America" in prayers.

Now that's an oxymoron! Praying to God that others die, murdered, and suffer. Somehow I missed that part religion, that hate preceeds love. I always understood God to be love and hate not-of-God. Hmmm, enough about that.

Israel, surrounded by people who hate them, have hated them, and blame them for much of their woes, despite backing the wrong horse with Arafat. Way to go ... a militant televangelist (or telesatanist) took all your money and did squat for you. Then, Sharon conquers what he feels needs "sedating". With new people, there's still "sins of the father", and no one can shelf it. Sadly, war in Israel has been and might always be.

Three main religions, all believing in the same God, sharing many of the same prinicples and texts, slaughter each other based on hate. The US, keeping Israel alive for many years makes us the target of aggression. I could understand if they hated the US for strongarm tactics or sinister business, but for keeping Israel alive? That premise is like cutting off some one's arm for his bumping you once 35 years ago in a busy market.

Any religion or sect or demonination that says, "God is love, but hate this group" is duplicitous and lying. It isn't a good religion. There are some Western religions that embrace this love everyone ... except [insert group(s) here]. That isn't love!

photo afficiando

Monkeyjack and Dave have a tendency or preference for taking someone else's camera and leaving butt shots on their roll/card.  Monkeyjack openly asked to have a cellphone camera shot of (a known person)'s "humps".  Supposedly -- shot from below, "scary".  (a known person)'s response, "I don't want to get bigger".

 

I was out of the loop on that, and I didn't want in on it either.

"Hey.  Do you mind if I photograph your 'significant other's*' body parts?"

"No.  Sure.  Go right ahead."

 

It's a strange world.  I believe they were trying to get a new picture to send like a plague (virus can be treatable) on cellphones -- a bad chain message, "pass it on and spread the pain"

 

There were some women unknown to me down there that I would have loved to photograph ... starting with their faces--the cheeks people see more commonly

 

* significant other being girl/boyfried, spouse, fiance--or some other relation

end of the festival

Although I got hosed on parking, I was offered free water and most of the travel was quiet, some happy faces.  The superwet kids returning from the fountain were wet, tired and likely going to fall asleep before the fireworks -- regardless the noise.

Movies and a new analogy: fecal or fan

As I watched CG-heavy King Kong and was repulsed by its ugliness rather than "beauty" of animation.  That movie was bad.  I think I've come up with a new anaalogy:

some movies are the proverbial fan of "Well, the sh*t really hit the fan today!"; other movies are the fecal matter; still others go above and beyond and take both roles.

 

I'm guessing that Rocky VI (or 6-pack of ideas, in that after one 6-pack in an hour, the ideas were flowing like uric acid) is both fan and fecal, whereas King Kong was fecal

If you want really bad 50's-esque monster horror movies, you'll need cable to see Sci-Fi original pictures with CG, but 50's writing.

 

Sound of one hand clapping

A while ago, I used a phrase I thought common enough, but it like spilt water.

 

There's, "don't cry over spilt milk", but water generates even less of a reaction.  After my comment "disappeared like a fart in the wind"*1, I saw that people areound were looking "as if I had lobsters crawling out of my ears."*2.  I suppose that I should just use English or "just use the keyboard".

 

No one understands you when you speak a confusing 'tongue', while the speaker expects you know.  I guess it's like people approaching you about a band or group assuming that you know all about it or them.  Nope, no idea, no clue.  This would be like Black-Eyed Peas, which was 'regrouped' from Easy-E++.  I don't see the connection, but that's wikipedia.  Easy-E, of course, I could use around friends as a phrase for one-upping 2-Live Crew and surpassing all in early Gangster Rap.  When your "song" is about grabbing a prostitute off the street, raping her in the car, killing her, then dropping the body on the street, you'd think that it couldn't get worse.  I was wrong.

 

I'm kinda wonderin', since I didn't want to hear anything after that, was how could you get a woman to get into the group and "sing".  That baffles me.  Somehow, I think there's missing data.

 

*1 Shawshank Redeptions

*2 Christmas Story

 

++ according to one addition to wikipedia, Easy-E died from his AIDS condition.  How ironic that a man proclaiming evil, condoning evil, died from recklessness -- a slow, agonizing death for most.  My one hand clapping is for the irony here ... dead from evil

Fireworks (pictures later)

The end of the festival and I saw the firework. I tried to take photos, but often people were walking right in front of me. Nice, thanks! The fireworks were merely 20 minutes long. I stupidly parked a long way away from the park, thinking that the nearer spots were taken. I could have parked 3 blocks away for $3, but instead parked 12 blocks away for $4. That just stinks. The walk wasn't bad.

An interesting side note: Lori, Monkeyjack's wife, said that where she works had a serious incident. A husband, wife and two kids were there and an unknown man came up to the kids and began slamming their heads together. This was unprovoked, so it was unclear what was going on. Shortly into that, two men came up to rescue the kids. Why the parents didn't pounce on the guy, I don't know. I would have slain him. It would only occur to me later that the kids shouldn't see "daddy" butcher a man like cattle.

One rescuer began choking the assailant to the floor, while another swept his feet. The cops took the bloke away. I hope that he fell up and down stairs at the jail.

Back the fireworks. The end of the festival fireworks in town tend to be better than July 4th, but gracious ... it was not spectacular this year. Also, where we were, there were bright flood lights beaming continuously, making the display less special. This city needs a brain implant, I believe.

It was fun to see friends down there, but overall, the fireworks weren't worth $3 or $4, like I paid. A second side note. Charlie has to use the greenies to pee before we left. Oh, puke -- were they nasty. I think they had not been emptied for a week. Despite the disinfectant spray that hung like fog over the area, these 10 greenies (smaller section) exuded a foul colorless gas, I will call assinine (iocane) poison. I don't think you'd go there to do much other than pee, unless you were drunk or a naturally unchoosy person.

Thanks Indiana for not having jobs

I am so glad that Indiana has billions of sales jobs and millions of nurses jobs, but 2 possible advertising jobs. Nice! If only I were a nurse or loved to pester people into buying stuff they don't need.
