evolution of backward

Kansas repealed the idea of intelligent design. What the state lacks is consistency ... pro-evolution, pro-intelligent design, pro-creation, then back again to the others in a circus of "I don't know". What a lonely bunch of buttmunches the school has for decision making, if that's what you call it.

Truly OZ, Kansas doesn't know what it's teaching. I suggest it be renamed SASNAK (backward) or ASSKAN (I think you get this one). Testing the students ought to be fun.

What is responsible for development of micro features consistent with different genus be present in only one species of each?

God, I don't know; science maybe?
Correct.

STOO PID

I was driving this morning and jammed my thumb. It was a stupid thing to do. This evening ... pulse, stiff. Crud! What a complete moron! My thumb is returning to normal with pulse and stiffness.

finalist

The above was posted for humor. I didn't probe into the job ... ha ha ha.

I got the following response from an application:
"We have narrowed it down and have made our selection. Unfortunately I must inform you that you were not a finalist."

Finalist? What kind of contest? It was a contest? Crud! I knew I should have bribed a judge.

Winter Whoas!

An hour after snowblowing, there was snow covering where I had been. Snow, wind ... these are not strangers to our land. It is, however, a great punch after many winter weeks of light, light winter.

What I want

is a snowblower/thrower that picks up winter by the collar and punches it, kicks it while it's down ... in a sense, a machine that drop kicks and beats the season within an inch of its life. I'd like to see snowbanks with a long stretch of goo dropping from its nose as it sits sorely recouperating from a haltingly fatal beating after starting a wicked fight.

Special Valentine News Report

After years of exhaustive research, there has been no conclusive proof whatsoever of fidelity and the purchase of jewelry. While the purchase of unbroken bands is tradition for relationships, marital vows are broken unlike the ring bands. "Bigger and more expensive is better", claimed by retailers may not be true. While the overspending, like vehicle prices or home improvement projects are well noted, many people receiving the jewelry can remark usually of who got the piece for them, but attach absolutely no meaning to the piece at all.

Jewelry, it appears, does not guarantee fidelity, respect, admiration, or physical contact. It appears to continue a business of buying and buying, usually more than the purchaser can afford, for "a week's paycheck and a peck on the cheek". + There are no statistics that relate positively, generally, that more yields more. In contrast, though sappy and dreary, many males have coupled their cards with voice-cards playing the song "More Than Words" by Extreme. Hint, hint ... I bought you this, I think you want what I plan (to do).

So those would-be lovers in pursuit ... make yourselves happy, live well, live together, and love. The buy, buy, buy, buy your way to my heart may not be the best course of action. If you think winning affection through debt happens when you court, what happens on each holiday? Christmas, Anniversary of first date (also other firsts), birthdays, Easter, Arbor Day are all "buy me something" days. If you haven't been married, then this was just an FYI.

If the woman you're "in to" behaves like "material girl", this does not disipate after marriage. If you have a job, get another one.

While the allure of over-buying is tempting, better is romance. The industry can't sell, "do something spontaneous, meaningful, catered to your lover's interests". Leave the world behind, extricate yourselves for a bit of time and do something for each other. A long walk, ending with a surprise ... an evening of chick flicks (yes, more than one) with a real fine dinner, candlelight and hugging/holding ... holding hands for 24 hours (yes, in a row) in public, making everyone aware you are a great and loving couple; these are a few ideas.

People -- demanding stuff builds resentment, please don't do it. Expecting a trip to Paris of a guy pulling in $40,000, is unrealistic. Hope high, aim low or "aim small; miss small" ++. A man with a vocation/occupation shouldn't say, I love you with a McDonald's dinner and two fries twisted together making a heart, but less financially stable people will do something a little less fairy tale-like and might do a cheesy, though thoughful (heartfelt) gesture.

Happy planning and have an enjoyable Valentine's day with your loved one! If you are really in love, not just lust, follow your heart, do soemthing special, make that person know you love them by example, not force.

Happy Valentine's day, several hours early!

So this town in bitter cold Switzerland doesn't get sun. They plan on putting up a giant mirror. 198 people in the town have that much money? Our scientists have great doubt of its success.

Aeon Flux

Well, Aeon Flux, an X-Rated comic was made into a PG-13 movie. I think you understand the leap of faith here.

I got more out of the movie than I thought I would. I think I understood something to be a plot. It is an interesting attempt to bring a comic to film. It was all eye candy, with some odd twists in the story.

[SPOILER]
It is a novel idea --- cloning, because the small fraction of humanity left is sterile.
I won't spoil anymore, but the question of living forever.

I got a chance to watch Charlize Theron. Now, this isn't a role where acting is important, so I don't know if she's a good actor. I was able to quickly answer questions.
Is she attractive? Does she look good in skin-tight clothing? Does she have a nice voice? Does she show some potential for being a clever, enjoyable person?

I answer yess to them all. I wonder what she's like out of character? I watched the movie and she's stuck a bit in my mind. Hmmm. Drat that movie!

Oh, the review, if it's on, go ahead and watch it. It wasn't a great movie, but had loads of effects and a confusing, but conclusive story. There are questions about character's motives. I think, because it was based on years of comic work, the story is sound and they didn't have to pull ideas out of their sleeves.

Weather oops

I was early in declaring the storm a miss.

Presently, shifting high winds and mild accumulation. The temperature is cold and most of the schools have been cancelled. Dude, I so called that wrong.

Missed me!

"There's a storm a comin'", they called. "Billions of tons of snow heading your way. You'll be up to your armpits in Marsians." All of this huffing and puffing and I see exactly diddly here. It was a bad call.

local market

The local market is going through, what environmentalists call desertification. Here, while I'm on the road, you can see in the distance where I might want to be. There is the arid wastes and scrubland between me and the distant hills. The concern is, what is over the hill and did I waste my time. In any respects, the area job market has gone dry.

I fit the profile

I was not in Spokane, Washington at this time. I am willing to take a polygraph test to prove that the fart was not mine. I have, in the past, let go of the foulest, nastiest, rip-roaringest, farts of mass destruction. This fumes incident was not me, I swear with my nostrils clenched and my hand raised (closing my nasal passages).

Sincerely yours,

Fair trial

Defense counsel for John Evander Couey remarked that he could not get a fair trial. This came after 14 of the jury members said they were fairly certain he was guilty. A known sex offender pleading not guilty, what are the chances of that? The defense requested another part of Florida because Florida did a great job in the election and in some criminal cases.

Couey has "deep passions" that rule his actions, but plainly denies ever raping the (lengthy, poetic, lustful description) victim. He also noted that had he been the perpetrator, he would have had more consentual sex with the child before burying her alive. He then thought about his statement and recanted, blaming "hunger" for his poor judgment and sought a snickers bar to fight the hunger. His counsel capitalized on this, noting that since Couey clearly showed gay tendencies wanting a snickers bar, that there wasn't sufficient evidence to continue the case.

The judge disagreed and ordered the counsel to "shut [censor blocking] up!"
........
Jokes aside, again make 2006 and thereafter the years of finding, capturing, convicting and executing sex offenders.

New York, New York

CaQuincy and family live in New York. When I write about snow, they know it and live it. I think that dealerships should factory install plow mounts on all vehicles so you can move in winter.

toupee

The folks were commenting on the baldness ... of my tires. I wonder if they make toupees for tires?

Weatherman calls for smiting on Tuesday

Chance of precipitation ... 90% with 4-6 inches of accumulation. Whereas that isn't nothing in contrast to New York, it will mean more work for me. New Yorkers are likely used to the piling or the Snow Angel taking a dump on them on a fairly regular basis. This spot here in Indiana is a bit from from the lake and doesn't get nearly as much dumping. Still, I predict piles high and accidents abundant.

Hell Froze Over

Dixie Chicks, "back"? Later, charges were brought against them for using bad music as a weapon and for unlawfully re-entering the US. As negotiators are standing by, Celine Dion will return to Canada as part of the exchange between these two countries with different, yet equal WMDs.

People who like music are suing the music awards for allowing deaf and blind people to make the decisions on music. The awards committee responded by saying to a chair, that "no person blind deaf here is". Other members were upset that such harsh criticism was made of a group that clearly shares the ten-percent-of-brain-use over a body of sixty people. The group claimed that despite political statements made, they are, in no way less talented than before or than those others awarded.

Notable awards were also given to Geico commercials, Snickers commercial, and the Superbowl half-time election committee. As of this writing, I understand that with little atttendance and no viewership, the awards will be posted on we_are_talent-MuzakAwards dot com next year with pre-recorded videos to be played for acceptance.

Wow! I'm glad I got that off my chest.

So, in one company it is all underground and the other I make sure people are doing their drugs. I think I'm reading them wrong.



Yeah, I'm reading them wrong, but they're funnier my way.
