"We are doing as much as we can."
Commander Gates does not share your optomistica appraisal of the situation.
I need more men.
Perhaps you can tell that to Gates when he arrives.
Gates, is coming here? We shall double our efforts.

Chimp has surprise for keepers

Yes, despite vascectomies, a female still got pregnanat. Worker Joel Horneytoad specualted that "so cute Teresa" the chimp obviously enticed and teased the male chimps and so much so that the vas deferons reunited. The curator instructed the staff to take samples. She didn't see Joel sweating bullets during her statement. He relaxed when she qualified that the sampels were to come from male chimpanzees. Joel volunteered to take the samples and to label them himself to root out the incompletely neutered male.

In an unrelated event, Joel checked himself into the hospital for a "routine mole removal" and was to be off work for the rest of the week.

Young Franken-tician

But weren't you one of those who voted yes on the war on Iraq? The same war that you are protesting now? The war were we (legislative branch) are arguing over the re-animation of our army?

Yes! Yes! Yes! We all know what I did! I'd rather be remembered for my small and dynamic bitching than my accidental relationship to a famous cuckoo idea.

"... switching from plus to minus and minus to plus . Nay, I alone could be capable of bestowing life" upon this hulk of an Iraqi democracy. "It has rotten brain I tell you." "Ixnay on the ottenray"

So, you put an abnormal brain in a 27 million tall, fundamentalist high, highly aggressive and armed gorilla?
Yeah, that's about it.

Bushwackers

So, Bush declines in the polls some more. The Democrats now have to prove they are positively different than the Republicans. So they whip up a proposal and Bush says, "It stinks!"+ and follows that with, "I'll veto it". The democrats are in the same boat as before, package manure, but don't call it manure. I don't know, call it "bio-recylced organic growth stimulator"

The old game of pin the tail on the donkey won't be played for a while, as the Republicans aren't in a position to do a successful blame game. I see the war in Iraq a good way for the democrats, as though they were different than republicans (only on paper) to be so-called heroes. Bush, Iraq being his albatross, can only hope that his policies turn and churn out in the end. There weren't dominoes set up, but he's hoping it tips one thing, then another.

The sad news for America is that the new house, the new senate isn't likely to be the New Deal of the new millenium. I see strife, hiccups, burps, and stalls. I see a car that doesn't move. If things remain unchanged, I'm afraid my dreams of change will die. Some flighty whinees in whitey tighties pushing a gay marriage propsoal (ha ha) through, won't make for good government either.

Let's see. America needs to be free of its independance on foreign oil, foreign manufacturing, and safeguarding its borders. It doesn't need any chewing dolls or federal laws on gay marriage. I doubt the house and senate will pull through and do something rational like, say ... make America the number one exporter of every blnakity-blank-blank blank there is! I'll also rather have America do something noble and serious about health and crime. Now there would be a government!

Bush has taken this war and made it his own. For his fellow Repbulicans, he has but two terms to serve to his country. He alone will take responsiblity for the war, either his epitaph or accolade. The social security, health and gay marriage issues -- now that's pin the tail on the donkey! Aw-hee-haw!

+ "The Critic"

Steamboat Wile E. Coyote (redone)

From "Talkies" to "flunkies" to "Genius, sheer genius", cartoons have shaped the minds of the dimwitted and dull to the creative. I think few people my age have not watched, enjoyed and been enriched (like uranium) with their being.

Of course I jumped carrying an umbrella hoping to float down gently. Of course I walked off a ladder trying to both walk forward defying gravity and also tried to walk normally while falling. Of course I dreamt of explosive devices that I could put on wings. I also drew, imitated sound effects, vocal folley artistry, and found humor in what was supposed to be funny, lampooning and not-to-be attempted at home.

Those cartoons, like many childhood memories both stick out and are hidden. They are part of my life. I never had to see cartoons in the theater, save for a Disney full-length feature, but it was great to see Wonderful World of Disney on Sundays and Cartoon Saturdays with 90 mintues of Warner Brothers. "Better give me a whole lotta [cartoons], eei-eeeeee-eeeee-eeee-eee-eee, hee!"+

I watch today with karate, as though everyone and his/her neighbor had a sensai for twelve years with a mastery of Shaolin monks of thirty generations, packing training into a compact and successful 8 years. I also see Fairly Odd 'parents, where an unrepentant fool is rewarded handsomely. Honestly, I can't think that ten or twenty years down the road kids will want to revisit these genius works.

I can expect Poke'mon, for 100-200 episodes can't be wrong, and a few others.

I think I liked the underdogs in "my generation" of rerun cartoons (WB especially), favoring Daffy over Bugs, Goofy over Mickey, and Donald over Mickey. I liked Yosemite Sam, his Darren McGavin talent for near-swearing and the vaudville slapstick (displaced in the 70s/80s) of the Three Bears with Bugs Bunny.

Wile E. was a stand alone, the Roadrunner, his Moby Dick, bringing peril to himself despite his opportunties for other food.

Central booking

"This books need color", Charlie regarding Peter Pan's black and white illustrations. While he didn't choose this long story for nighttime, he did choose one of three that I brought.

"Christmas Wihtout a Tree" by Elizabeth Rodger seemed to be a mild hit, especially since one of the main characters is named Charlie. Charlie is not a reader, but his all time favorite, to my knowledge, was the children's bible stories.

Peter Pan that I leave for them is not a fast paced early starter book, but is interesting enough for a person (listener and reader) who has an imagination -- actually pretty much a recurring theme in this book.

Wii had fun

What you saw most with Charlie

Victory!

Monkeyjack & his family got a Wii last night. We played it too long, but it felt good to move and work while you played a game. I rediscovered I have a right shoulder (lactic acid buildup). Charlie did well in Tony Hawk's skateboarding. I couldn't get the hang of it, didn't like the striking of people. Charlie did very well in tennis.

Not unlike real life, I stank at tennis. I did well in boxing, though it doesn't teach you how to properly punch, but rather with front jabs. I had a very difficult time doing uppercuts and real side jabs. The game always cheated on me in that the competitor was always using the ropes. That's just unfair. My best KO was in 22 seconds.

Monkeyjack and I did bowling until early today (2:30 am) and he beat me one game, then I came back to beat him twice. I don't like bowling, but this version has many advantages: no hand tearing from holes, no smoking, no long waiting for ball return and neighboring lanes. The player, of course, is not holding a 16 pound ball, which is the exercise portion of the game.

The highlight comment, "Hold me tighter, Daddy", said Charlie as he and Monkeyjack were playing Tony Hawk. Lori did bowling but had pains from twisting and from her bruised bum from when she tumbled down the steps, courtesy of the dogs.

Apparently all is forgiven, for you see here Echo lying peacefully and happily on Lori's lap.

Hollies, Long Tall Woman in a Black Dress

Saturday night I was downtown
Working for the FBI
Sitting in a nest of bad men
Whisky bottles piling high

Bootlegging boozer on the west side,
Full of people who are doing wrong
Just about to call up the DA man
When I heard this woman singing a song

A pair of 45's made me open my eyes
My temperature started to rise
She was a long cool woman in a black dress,
Just a 5-9 beautiful tall
With just one look I was a bad mess
'Cos that long cool woman had it all

I saw her headed towards the table,
Like a tall walking big black cat
When Charlie said I hope that you're able boy
Well I'm telling you she knows where it's at

Then suddenly we heard the sirens,
And everybody started to run
A-jumping out of doors and tables
When I heard somebody shooting a gun

Well the DA was pumping my left hand
And she was a-holding my right
Well I told her don't get scared
'Cos you're gonna be spared

Well I've gotta be forgiven
If I wanna spend my living
With a long cool woman in a black dress,
Just a 5-9 beautiful tall
With just one look I was a bad mess
'Cos that long cool woman had it all.
Had it all ...
Had it all ...
Had it all ...
Had it all ...

Way to go

These folks go to the folks' church. The husband used to teach where I subbed often. His wife nobly found funding for a local boy who needed a kidney transplant. I can only hope that Their compassion and generosity are returned to them many fold.

Dave's chips

Monkeyjack mentioned to me that while up at the lake cottage, they were making nacho chips. "Dave's" as they were later called were finalized with 'Ranch' dressing. Monkeyjack got the munchies so made some. I do not (Sam from "Green Eggs and Ham" statements on ranch anything) like it in a bowl, to avoid it elsewise, that's my goal.

Monkeyjack and others really like the "Dave's" chips, while I'll take the shredded cheese on warmed chips, with the sides of guacamole and salsa. I sometimes like sour cream, but they are just fine without it. It's not as if the salsa and chips don't have enough salt already and the cheese enough oils and fats. Guacamole is made with avacado, which has fat. Imagine a fatty fruit, well there you have it.

MR sent me something

He, in turn, got it from someone else.

Rockin' Out with the Band

She's a rocker
She's a roller
She's a right out of controller
She's a wheeler
She's a dealer
She's a wicked soft heart stealer
She's a bruiser
She's a cruiser
She's a rock 'n'' roll woman

Got slicked back hair
Skin tight jeans
Cadillac car
And a teenage dream

...
Well, she's working on it

bit hard to swallow

Water intoxification? I have a very difficult time believing that a person died of too much water, which in my ignorant point of view, would be increasing your blood pressure to fatal levels. Now, how does a person consume too much water over a one day period. This to me smacks of radio BS that made it to media some how.

I have heard of ruptured organs that cause health problems and fatalities, but the report here says only that she died of water toxification. Had she died of internal hemorraging, blood clot, renal failure burst or ruptured organs, that I would believe. If she did die this way, she was able to overcome her body's many ways of equalizing pressure, liquid volumes, and hormones, which would have made her an interesting medical case study when alive.
