Breaking News: College Students Have Sex!

Years of research have gone into the making of this "Family Minute" news-face fronted by Mark Merrell. According to him, sex is "The Latest College Activity."

Nothing of the sort happened when I was in College. That guy must've gone to BYU.

Slight Rework Of Blog

I've been getting about five hundred hits each day on this blog and after some complaints about my archiving schedule, I decided to change my archives a bit. I reworked them to monthlys instead of weeklys. I don't know why I had it weekly, anyway. It is a pain in the butt for me to find old stuff, too.

No More Hassles, thanks to you!

Onward Insane Christain Soldiers

I did some posts about the KKK a little bit back and I've finally found something more disturbing. This is "an eye for an eye and an arm and a leg" built on some version of the Bible that I've never read. Spooky and Insane, these guys are trying to do to more harm in the name of God than Jim Jones or David Koresh.

What A Tough Evening!

Earlier, Robilee asked me to put a pot of boiling water on the stove. She intended on doing something with about fifteen pounds of marrow bones that the dogs have been chewing on. Not one to ask too many questions, and considering that I was a touch frightened about the presence of so many bones in the house, I filled a large pot up with water and looked at the stove.

I carried the pot of water to the nearest house, put it on his stove and tried to get back to my house before the water stopped boiling. It didn't work too well. I even tried driving the boiling water between houses. No joy.

I built a fire in the fireplace, and the water is slowly heating up. Hopefully, this will work.

She's asleep right now, but I'll wake her up when I get that pot of boiling water on the stove.

Seven-Ereven In Japan

For years, I have been curoius about the history of the "Seven-Ereven" stores in Japan. Here stateside, we call them 7-11's, of course. I finally ran across the corperate website, and all of my hopes and dreams were fulfilled.

Here's one thing that I noticed: 7-11 Japan employees 4,665folks. There are 10,303 stores in Japan. That works out to 2.2085744908896034297963558413719 employees per store, give or take. This includes all desk-monkeys and jargon-talkers.

No time to talk on the phone and do your nails behind the counter in that convenience store- You've got a board meeting in twenty minutes!

"Aww.. That's Too Much, Howard" Gets Idiot In the Running For Own Talk Show

Howard Stern's Groovy sidekick and New York peon, Robin Quivers, is trying to land her own talk show deal. Years of quiet laughter and mundane quips are, it seems, just the tip of the iceberg in this media moron's vast talent closet. She can pretend to listen, feign concern and give hugs to needy children. What a great personality. She's like a blind date.

Fat, too.

If this deal goes through, it will be proof positive that everyone with an IQ lower than the temperature of my soda-pop will have a talk show by the year 2010.

Quantum Astronomy: The Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle

I always like to do a little light reading right after a Beer and Beef Bar-B-Q snack just before hitting the pillow for a little shut-eye. This was tonight's little bedtime story.

Chris Hobgood, RIP

Mourn, you bastards, mourn.


UPDATE
Brian Sent me this:
Here's the low down from Knox News:

Police charge man with murder in fatal shooting
Police charged a man with felony murder in connection with the fatal shooting of a driver found slumped across the front seat of his car in Northwest Knoxville.

Eric O'Neal Alston, 33, was being held in jail in lieu of $200,000 bond in connection with the 2 a.m. Wednesday slaying, records show. Police said Alston had been arrested about 3:30 p.m. Thursday at an apartment on Magnolia Avenue. After being questioned by investigators, Alston was charged about 9 p.m. with felony murder.

Alston is accused of shooting Christopher Todd Hobgood, 36, of Knoxville, as Hobgood fled from his assailant, according to records. The men had been standing outside an apartment in Western Heights when Alston "demanded money from the victim," court records show.

Hobgood ran from Alston and escaped to his car, according to records, but Alston fired at least two shots at the fleeing vehicle. One round smashed through the driver's window and struck Hobgood in the torso.

Hobgood's Hyundai Sonata then slammed into a vacant house in the 1600 block of Reed Street, where police found the victim.


I Never Get Invited To The Good Parties!

It seems that shortly after leaving Palm Springs, CA, that a teenage chimp escaped for a night on the town. Why didn't the little guy get out while I was there?

Pee-Wee: On The Road To Somewhere

Tee-Vee's Paul Reubens(aka Pee Wee Herman) is bracing himself for two new movies and the release of Playhouse on DVD.

I've always thought that the guy was a maniac with his ducks pretty much in a row. Sure, he got into a little trouble here and there, but he's always come out on top. Let's hope that the new movies do well.

What a Day!

I was standing outside my Job Site today, having a chat with my helper, when I noticed a plane coming in for a landing. My helper noticed that the landing gear wasn't down. He then told me that there was no landing strip nearby. The plane crashed about a hundred yards from me.

Not something you see every day.
UPDATE
I added the crappy picture of the crash. From my vantage after the crash, I could see very little. This is what I could see when scumbag me went to get my camera.



It seems that the little craft ran out of fuel(huh?) and not a soul was injured.

Visiting Vegas? Don't Stay Here!

PooPanties In Repose

I'm a pretty easygoing guy. I've shacked up in third-world countries in shacks. Hell-- I've even spent the night in OHIO! As a traveler, I've endured my share of hardships. This place takes the cake. Larger than most Asian hovels and cleaner than most Savannah toilets, Las Vegas' Wellesey Inns and Suites is batting 1000 for bad news. Start with the screaming kids, add a topping of noisey plumbing with a touch of screechy air conditioning.. Flambe that with some mouse in the room and add a dash of "housekeeping didn't notice the spent pooped boxers" hidden behind my chair.

I told the front desk hours ago. They told me that somebody would come by to take care of it. Too much time passed, so I wrestled the offense into a towel and placed it lovingly outside my door. It is nearly ten pm. Poo Panties are still sitting outside my door and nobody has bothered to come by.

If they are there in the morning, I might vomit.
Desperately, I will need to speak with them about the state of plumbing noises, mice and poop.

CRITICAL UPDATE111



This is the only thing for young people to do for fun while in Palm Springs, California. Unless you know how to steal and drive a forklift, don't even bother.
I tried to talk *name withheld* into lifting an Escalade, but he chickened out because it wasn't a rental.
I hope the rental folks don't check for forklift scars on the undercarriage.

Russian Roulette For Asian Kids

Not a word of a lie... If the gun doesn't go off, the kid earns points. Creepy little fuckers.... Creepy little fuckers.

At least the packaging is cute- `Specially if you remember Pearl Harbour.
