How I Learned To Love The Bomb

It's life, nobody will get out alive

2011-02-07T22:30:00.005-06:00

I am sitting here. The news just declared tonight to be "the coldest night of the year". AGAIN!

This is like the ninth time they have made this call. I don't know about you guys, but I'm having flashbacks to the story of crying wolf. We all here it & react. But after so many times if will not rate a reaction from anyone.

And I think this is a big factor in why lately so many people have gotten themselves into such deep shit when they go out. Just like wild animals that have been exposed to humanity, there is no longer any fear of what may kill them. Or, maybe it is too much fear.

I have seen way too many people complain about things that they have lived with all of their lives lately. Ranging from second hand smoke to germs on door handles, to possibly being taken in the middle of the night by a group of Alaskan ninja elk.

Some things are legitimate threats. Things like deforestation, random violence, loss of jobs, housing, family, and real life things that actually be preventable if people did more than sit on the couch & yell at the TV.

But concerning ones self with piddly stuff that we have no control over is dumb.

One of the prime tenets of every religious following or theology is to accept others for what they do. 'An ye harm none', 'do unto others', 'forgive them for they know not what they do', all of these phrases are not just words, they are a way of living with each other. If someone looks like they belong to some underground faction that promotes killing for killing. They might actually be a part of that group. But most likely they are just as normal as you, and the only difference is the way they dress, the way they talk, or how they deal with everyday life.

Just deal with it, and don't be an ass about things you have no control of. You cannot control others like you can a pet, or some programmed toy with a remote. It just doesn't happen that way, and never will. That is what makes live in the world so fun.

Blessed Be, and leave your troubles at the door

So, snow, go, blow,

2010-01-06T14:28:00.002-06:00

As the snow hits yet again, I decided to start writing. My mom suckered me into watching Tuesdays with Morrie, yup that is a sure pick me up for a depressing day. Oh well, there is not much I can do about the snow falling.

Or is there. . . . . . . .

As of late my social calender mostly consists of infrequent gatherings with a few friends, and people that I barely know. Mostly I have been either working, or staying in a self imposed isolation in my basement. I don't get out much anymore.

So, just like my writing, I am trying to get back into the pace of things in the outside world. And in this process I am gathering my notes & stuff & realizing how pathetic some of the things & the people around these days. Take for instance a guy I met a while back.

Monkey boy is this idiot that, at the ripe age of 19 has fried his brain to the point of no return. When I met him he was sketching out a new tattoo using gang symbols from both the bloods & the crips. When asked "why the hell are you doing that?", his reply was that by having both of the designs prominently displayed on his arms he would then be safe in the presence of either group. It had not occurred to him, and he just could not comprehend when we told him, that by having both tags he would never be safe anywhere around either gang, nor any other gang, and most likely would become someones bitch if he was remotely allowed to live.

And he has been allowed to breed. His girlfriend is a sweet & frighteningly ignorantly stupid girl. In other words his perfect match. I met her once and could hear the whoosh of the black-hole vacuum which was her head. She was due to unleash her spawn while monkey boy was in jail for possession with intent to be stoned. {He got busted & was so fucked up he didn't truly realize he was in jail for 2 days}. Well when it came time for the hatch-ling to spew out, the court called with a 24 hour furlough. When the guards notified him of this he argued with them that he did not have a furlough & the girl was not supposed to pop for another week. They told him again that they have a court signed 24 hour release for him to leave & be out. HE STILL ARGUED WITH THEM ! Then after other convicts all but physically slapped him silly trying to explain, 'YOU HAVE A 24 HOUR PASS TO GET OUT OF JAIL TO SEE YOUR WOMAN WHO IS HAVING THE BABY RIGHT NOW!'. He finally got what was going on. This was not a shock reaction to having a kid, this was plain old fashioned burned out brain playing at 1/8th speed.

So after going out, seeing 'his woman', his mutant offspring, and getting stoned to the be-jesus, monkey boy returned & just barely passed the breathalyzer at the front desk. He was still tweaking from the party pack of drugs he & his buddies consumed while visiting the hospital. Mind you the new mother also had a few tastes of the buffet of buzz since she had to be clean for nine months, so fun was had by all. Luckily for him, the great brain trust of "corrections" officers did not notice him bouncing off the walls until the next morning to piss test him, which by that time he had come down & it was out of his system.

That ends story time for today kids. Come back later for more tails of stupid people in jail, and the inmates they are supposed to be watching....

Blessed Be, and grab some warm socks.

On the eve of a certified used life

2009-12-04T00:13:00.003-06:00

O.K.

I know it has been a while. I know some may feel abandoned.

But I have been busy.

All I can say right now is that the chrysalis will shed in the next few hours. And along with that will be a lesser chance of repercussion for what is to come.

I have not been idol in the last twenty three months, far from that. I have decided to take up writing again. Although I have not written anything here, I have indeed been putting words into form to get several interesting, and embarrassing things out in the open. I have to still wait a bit longer for clearance to avoid more legal issues & backlash from some of my subjects & characters. But be patient. It should be worth the wait. And as an added bonus, there might be a sideshow spectacle tossed into the center ring of the local rumour mongering!

So, thank you for reading this. And be sure to come back later!

Blessed Be, and remember to take notes of everything that can save your ass.

Planes, Trains, & Automobiles - Part - 2

2009-04-18T19:26:00.002-05:00

Hi! Me again,
Well I finally made it to Chicago. After they herded everyone into the respective areas for seating on the plane they had us stand there for another minutes. I could have been sitting on my butt, wonking out all that time & finishing my previous entry!

Anyway I forgot to explain the reason for the previous title

"The curent threat level by homeland security is boring"

While I was walking with my mother through the concourse, the P.A. system ran a recording telling everyone about what the current color of the paranoid rainbow Homeland (in)security was declaring for the time being. B.T.W. I know the time being, and he is NOT amused by this, and wished Bush, Cheney, & Ashcroft hadn't started this bullshit. "It ruins my chi." he says. But back to the story..... When the disembodied voice made its announcement what I & my mother heard was that the level stated by DHS was 'boring'. It took us aback for a bit. Appropriate announcement & very accurate, but not what she said. Awhil;e later it came back up in rotation & we figured it out that the unholy minion of TSA was saying 'orange'.

Well I gotta go catch a train. Meanwhile if you are ever at Millennium Station in downtown Chicago. Goto Chi-Town-Pizza in the station. Great stromboli & free Wi-Fi.

Blessed Be, and put the steel to the wheels

"The curent threat level by homeland security is boring"

2009-04-18T14:50:00.002-05:00

So, here I am after spending 35 minutes going through the TSA {They Suck Ass}, screening in Omaha & my flight is delayed fifty-five minutes so I'm here for over two hours with nothing to do but hunt for an outlet for Zoe, my laptop & traveling companion.

I find it odd that they went ballistic over the 8 pennies, 2 nickles, 4 dimes & a quarter in my pocket, but didn't even flinch about the two bic lighters & my nail clipper. Also my coat took an extra five minutes due to NOT the camera, NOT my MP3 player, but the little box with two condoms in the inner pocket.

This is probably just the first of many problems that I will come upon during my "Planes, Trains, & Automobiles" journey to the Chicago area for my Grandmas funeral. In case you are wondering, I rode down to omaha with my mother, flying to Midway in Chicago, taking the "L" from the airport to the train depot by Millennium Park, then jumping on the SouthShore commuter line to Gary. Just to fill in the gaps I rode my scooter down the block before I left home. Now I am just short a boat/ship.

well I gotta go. I think they are sorting out passengers now.

Blessed Be, & keep your seat in the upright position.

Good Bye to a Great Grandma

2009-04-16T00:23:00.002-05:00

I got an email yesterday from my dad. I had to wait until later to call him back because he said that they would be at the hospital until ten last night.

The email said that around 1 a.m. my Grandma Barnes was taken to hospital by ambulance, then taken into surgery for a ruptured colon. They had her under the knife for over 2.5 hours. When I finally spoke with my dad, he stated that the doctors had to open her up & clean out her abdomen of all of the waste that had leaked from the rupture. She was in pretty rough shape & they gave her morphine for the pain & a ventilator to help her breathing.

He also said that all three of my aunts have gathered in Hammond & they & my father are taking shifts sitting with their mom, my grandmother.

Earlier today I spoke with my dad & thing were looking grey. She now was unresponsive & not looking like things were going to get any better. The family was discussing what steps would be taken next, and what options were, well, optional.

So after that I sort of became a zombie of sorts. I just had tore down a show in four hours that took more than three days to setup, finishing off an eighteen hour day. Found out my Grandma had been rushed to the ER. My longest span of sleep in the last three days clocks in at around four hours. And it really was a problem trying to figure what my emotional & physical demeanor was being caused by. I pretty much floated through the day attempting to do something but accomplishing nothing.

Then I decided to hop on my scooter. {Oh yeah, by the way I have a scooter now} and go for a ride into the city to clear my head. I was pulling on my helmet when my phone rang. I looked at the screen & it was my dads cell phone. I sort of hesitated answering knowing what information might be awaiting my push of the 'ok' button.

I answered it & said hi to my dad.

There was a pause before I heard a voice over the background noise. My father then spoke. He said that about five minutes ago, {approx. 3:30 p.m.}, my Grandmother had passed away. They disconnected the ventilator & other equipment once everyone, {my dad & my 3 aunts}, had gathered with the minister. A few moments had passed, then she was gone.

All I could do was stand there in the middle of the driveway & reply in one, two, or three syllable sentences. I don't remember much else of the conversation other telling each other I love you, & good bye.

I hung up the phone, turned around, and it started to rain.

So now I look at the clock after trying to write this & it is a new day. I made my reservations to fly out of Omaha on Saturday to Midway in Chicago. The viewing will be Sunday, the funeral on Monday, I fly back on Tuesday, then go back to work on Wednesday.

Right now however, I'm going to try to get some sleep

Blessed Be, and all that

NOW, I learned to love the bomb

2009-03-28T16:29:00.005-05:00

This is an interesting little Google Maps toy. It will show you what the damages will be from a detonation of the Hiroishima 'Little Boy' to a "planet killer" asteroid impact. It is amazing how much, or how little can be destroyed with a push of a button or the falling of a rock.
Case in point: If you set off either of the two bombs deployed to end WWII in downtown SFSD, both hospitals & the two major collages would be destroyed. But the pain-in-the-ass country clubs would be spared. It just is not fair.

Cat Shit One Movie Trailer -or- "Don't funny with my Bunny!"

2009-03-26T15:29:00.006-05:00

Now many of you may know my affinity for the lagomorphs in this world. And most people that have met either of my bunnies Roscolene, {grey Mini-Lop, Codename 'Packy'}, or Disney, {B&W Dutch, Codename 'Botasky'}, just saw the cute little furry long eared chick magnets that they were. But little did they know . . . . .
Click for Wikipedia entry

They were highly trained in urban assault & guerrilla warfare. They did not "die", they graduated boot camp. These "cute bunnies" were actually living with us while here covertly training to be vicious sociopathic killers when called to duty. They strike with surprise & stealth. And until now, until this movie, there has been scarce documentation of the hellfire wrath that they can deal out to those of whom oppose them.

Cue the Ewoks, Star Wars Hits the Stage

Josh Grossberg Josh Grossberg – Mon Dec 22, 3:05 pm ET

Los Angeles (E! Online) – A long time from now, in a galaxy far, far away...the Star Wars money machine will still be cranking.

Not content with seven feature films or myriad TV spinoffs ranging from the current Clone Wars cartoon series to the dreaded Star Wars Holiday Special, the Jedi masterminds are readying a stage show.

George Lucas has signed off on Star Wars: A Musical Journey, a two-hour live musical event featuring a Stormtrooper kick line and singing Wookiees John Williams' Oscar-winning score.

Premiering next year in London's O2 arena, the production will be performed by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra in synch with movie clips from the six live-action films. The show will play in chronological order, from The Phantom Menace to Return of the Jedi.

The production will blast off April 10 in the U.K. and then embark on a European tour, complete with an exhibition of rare Star Wars collectibles, including never-before-seen models, props, costumes and production artwork. No word when it will visit America.

Now if we could only get a musical version of the Star Wars Holiday Special...

Blessed Be, & may the force be with you to get good seats

{story from BBC Americas website}

Mice suspected in deadly cat fire

Mice or rats are thought to have chewed through electric wires

Mice may be responsible for a blaze that killed nearly 100 cats at an animal shelter near the Canadian city of Toronto, officials say.

The fire at the humane society shelter in Oshawa also killed three dogs and some rats that were up for adoption.

An initial report from the fire marshal says mice or rats chewing through electrical wires in the ceiling are likely to have sparked the blaze.

Offers of help have been pouring in from animal lovers across Canada.

"It's unfortunate and ironic that mice caused the fire that killed the cats," Toronto Humane Society spokesman Ian McConachie told the BBC News website.

"Unfortunately, the mice probably perished in the fire as well," he added.

The $250,000 (£137,000) fire is still under investigation by the Ontario Fire Marshal's office.

Mr McConachie said it would be some days before a final report would be released.

In all, only nine dogs, two cats and one rat were rescued in Wednesday's early morning blaze.

They are being housed in a nearby municipal shelter, while volunteers rebuild the burnt-down shelter for the Humane Society of Durham Region.

Yet another danger of smoking

2008-10-22T20:13:00.002-05:00

Hi all !
The doctor is back, and has an urgent warning about how dangerous cigarettes can be to your health. This comes from a dire and unfortunate incident that I personally experienced earlier today that causes me to be WAY more careful about my life in regards to my cigarette smoking.
It all started around 10:00 this morning. I had been working on catching up & sorting out the 2000+ e-mails backlogged in my various accounts during my journey to live with & observe numerous violent sub-mammalian subjects. I thought to take a break from things & go outside to have a smoke.
As it was raining, I made my way to the garden shed to get out of the wind and elements. I dug around for my lighter & a danger stick thinking that I didn't have anything to worry about. Little did I know....
As I took a long drag on the 100mm burning tube of tobacco while contemplating how to modify the handheld leaf vaccum to connect to a bin instead of a bag, I went to take the cigarette out of my mouth.

I then felt it.

It started off as a small twinge on the left side, not much to think about, and not much to associate to what caused it. I continued on with my smoking & redesigning of the B & D lawn muncher for a few whiles until I went to tap my ashes and the twinge became a sharp pain & had replicated itself to the center & the right side.
I looked down at my shaking hands, saw some blood, and said to myself "no... It can't be, this cannot be happening to me right here & right now. I am so f*&cked!".

Then I got my wits about me & realized,

The g-damned paper on the filter was bent up & gave me a paper cut on my lips.

So please take this story with you to warn your friends & others, so that they may not suffer unnecessarily like the great Doctor Strangelove has.

Blessed be, and make sure your butt is smooth

I mean how could you pass THAT up? And this lottery legitimate. They say it "was promoted and sponsored by eminent personalities like His Royal Highness, the Sultan of Brunei,"
{I wonder if he has a flag}.

Honestly, this is one of the worstest of the poorly written scam-mails I have ever gotten, and I just had to share you all with it. The 5th paragraph almost made my head explode while trying to decipher what it was attempting to say.

I really would like to meet the people that fall for this one because I got a great deal just for them in jack-a-lope breeding & meat produce sales.

"doctor" Robert Jarvick. SHAME ON YOU!

2008-01-16T07:48:00.000-06:00

I just got done watching a spot about "Dr." Jarvick's endorsement of a heart drug. On ABC morning news

I, like many others assume that since he created an artificial heart, that he he is an MD.

HE IS NOT!! Matter of fact, he is no more a medical doctor than I am. [Religious doctorate via the Universal Life Church, thank you very much.] I have several coupons to prove it, so don't yell at me.

Having a Ph.D. or two is nice. My dad has two, and he actually went to school to become an ordained minister, and then went on to get a Ph.D. in Sociology.

But playing to the masses for a "heart drug", {that is also UNGODLY EXPENSIVE COMPARED TO GENERICS}, making people think that you ARE A [I CAN MEDICALLY HELP YOU] doctor, when you are a Ph.D, [I can help you theoretically appraise the outcome of the philosophy of your situation]

I have not done this in a while, but.

I CALL A BULLSHIT. AND I CALL IT ON THIS GUY!!!

And I praise ABC News for taking the effort to drop "dr" Jarvick a few notches.

Last Note: As I was watching the interview on Good Morning America, I could not help but to think, "jarvick reminds me of Raul Duke... [Hunter S Thompson], or Uncle Duke for those that know Doonesbury ", because he was such a squirrelly SOB during the interview. And SO FULL of shit.

Right now I am too pissed to finish what I want to say. But.....

Blessed Be, I need my 'beauty sleep'

Bill Gates' Last Day. He actually has a sense of humor

2008-01-10T01:31:00.000-06:00

I found this video of Bill Gates at the 2008 CES giving his {possibly} last keynote address.
A video spoof shown during the CES 2008 keynote by Bill Gates about his last full day at Microsoft in July starring himself, Brian Williams, Steve Ballmer, Matthew McConaugheyr, Robbie Bach, Jay-Z, Bono, Steven Spielberg, George Clooney, Jon Stewart, Kevin Turner, Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, Al Gore, Ray Ozzie and Craig Mundie,

So, the golden god of MS actually has some sort of humanity after all.

Blessed Be, but this does not sway my opinion how how much VISTA SUCKS!

BUSH HAS PROVED HE HAS THE MENTAL CAPACITY OF HIS SURNAME

2007-12-20T09:46:00.000-06:00

I was sleeping. I was having a dream of GREAT times with my past life.

And then the phone rang............

"L", A friend of mine called me to let me know d'bya was having a press conference. And he was just pulling random shit out of his ass, stuttering, several times contradicting himself within less than finishing a paragraph of what he is saying.

So I woke up enough to turn the TV on, & we bid our good byes.

And after less than 30 seconds

I had to call my dad, & let him know.

Dbuya IS A FUCKING MORON!!!!!

Blessed Be, and for whatever your 'god' belief is, and I know it might be too late.

A Family X-mas

2007-11-30T01:16:00.000-06:00

I came across this short film by Warren Eig on Reel-Exchange, which is a site that various artisans of media can post a demo reel of work that they have done.

Reel-Exchange: A Family X-mas: "A Family X-mas", is a twisted view of the whole holiday "night before X-mas" story. But it redeems itself at the end. It is funny, twisted, and definitely N.S.F.W.

So before watching this, make damn sure the kids are not around. It may visually warp the whole holidays thing for the rest of their lives.

The summary of the film is:
A FAMILY X-MAS is about a mob boss, Johnny Guccianno, who accidentally wakes up one Christmas Eve to discover Santa Claus. Johnny doesn't believe in Santa Claus, but after some convincing he realizes he's captured the real Saint Nick. Unfortunately, Johnny's not a big fan of Christmas.

And for something special, watch the credits for the cast list. I giggled at the casting/character irony.

Mr. Eig, I solute you. Here is the YouTube embed.

Blessed Be, and as Jean Shepherd would write in his book & movie A Christmas Story

Speeding Ticket Taser - THIS PISSED ME OFF!!!!

2007-11-21T22:50:00.000-06:00

I found this video on Shoutwire. I clicked the link & was totally appalled by the conduct of the officer. And some people wonder why so many others are scared shitless by cops. From the time I watched the video, [approx 10:30 CST], to the time I went to comment, the view count went from 240,000 to over 250,000 in a span of just 20 Minutes!

I'm sorry but the actions of this officer need to be dealt with by his department by his immediate dismissal, with no compensation, retirement & benefits fully revoked.

And he should not EVER be allowed to work with people,
even as a restroom attendant.

The text from the YouTube description reads like this:

UHP (Utah Highway Patrol) tasers man in front of pregnant wife and baby over an alleged speeding ticket. Outraged? Call the Vernal, Utah UHP Office and let them know!

The contact stuff from the UHP site reads as such

Utah Highway Patrol - Vernal, Utah
Address: 152 East 100 North, Vernal, UT 84078
Office: (435) 789-3111

Contacts:

And, now for the video:

Blessed be, have a great Thanksgiving,

And try not to piss off the asshats that work for the Highway Patrol. This video proved that some are the bottom feeding mouth-breathers of law enforcement. But, at least now we know where all of the muscle-headed bullies from school go if they cannot get a job as strip club bouncers!

The next step in the squirrel war

2007-11-14T00:53:00.000-06:00

O.K. I promised certain others that I would not carry on the whole squirrel thing. But there are people out there that actually search for squirrel news.
{odd, but true}

So until I can get the squirrel news web/blog site set up, you will have to deal with it here.

Blessed Be, and bow down to your lord & master......... Foamy

Why I still support IATSE, just not here

2007-11-13T00:35:00.000-06:00

I found out about this, read several different stories, and . . . I am not happy.

This is the bullshit spewed from http://www.livebroadway.com/

And my comments on this will be in RED.

Local One, IATSE, the stagehands union, has shut down Broadway. They left the negotiating table and abruptly went on the picket line. They refused to budge on nearly every issue, protecting wasteful, costly and indefensible rules that are embedded like dead weights in contracts so obscure and old that no one truly remembers how, when or why they were introduced. The union wants you to believe they are the victims, the little guys.

We have the highest regard and respect for our stagehands. But, they are not, as the Union leadership characterizes them, the typical "little guys" as far as compensation is concerned. Their "average annual earnings," in salary and benefits, is more than $150,000, with many stagehands earning more than $200,000.

*They are professionals and should be well paid, and will remain the best paid in this industry in the world. We simply don't want to be compelled to hire more workers than needed and pay them when there is no work for them to do.

For example:

# It takes a few minutes to move a piano, but we are forced to pay stagehands for four hours of work. YOU AGREED TO IT, SO DEAL WITH IT! STANDARD SHOW UNION OR NOT HAS CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS TO THOSE THAT TAKE THE TIME TO DO THE WORK!

As a result, over the course of a year, many stagehands add another $50,000 dollars to their six figure salaries from moving pianos or mopping floors. I HAVE YET IN 37 YEARS OF WORKING IN THEATRE MET SOMEONE MAKING $50,k MOVING & MOPPING

# Head Electricians earn a six figure salary, but their contract only permits them to work a total of 80 minutes a week. THIS IS TOTAL BULLSHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!! I HAVE WORKED AS AN M.E. AND I HAVE NEVER COME ACROSS THIS STIPULATION.

# A flyman making $160,000 annually in salary and benefits is required for all productions, even when there is no fly cue in the production and no flyman is needed. AGAIN, YOU AGREED TO IT YEARS AGO, JUST FUCKING DEAL WITH IT YOU PANSIES!!

# We are required to keep the same number of workers loading in a show as hired on day one for the entire load-in process regardless of how many workers are subsequently needed. O.K. YOU GOT ME THERE

# We have offered a significant raise in wages, but the union says there will be a cut in wages. The only explanation is that this would be the result of fewer people being paid for not working. W.T.F.???? I WANT SOMETHING FROM YOUR STASH, CHARLOTTE!

These issues can only be resolved at the bargaining table, not on the picket line. We remain prepared to meet 24/7 until we reach an acceptable agreement.

I'm not sorry for being an ass about this, but these people are
sisters and brothers to me over the years. They need
the respect that is due to them, and not treated as just people
that push things, flip switches, make sure people look good,

And that they are seen & heard by the other people that paid over
$100 to see the show

I am REALLY pissed about this

Blessed Be,
as long as you are not a member of The League of American Theatres and Producers, Inc.

Batman, Adam West, and long time friend Wally Wingert

2007-11-06T23:03:00.000-06:00

When I was in school back in the 80's I made friends with a guy named Wally Wingert, who had this passion for dressing up as different characters, as well as impersonating them vocally. I used to shoot publicity photos for his portfolio, and back him up as a "cohort in grime", [read my "Aluma-Man & Leather Lad" post], while doing gigs.

Now he is one of the very rare people in the performing arts that actually makes a living off of his passion of entertaining. You may not know him by name. But if you have ever seen Family Guy, or watched PAX TV, [he is the voice on the network id's], you might know his voice. And he has done way more than that. His site is http://www.wallyontheweb.com/ Check it out.

But I wax poetic. This is a video that Wally did that a friend of mine sent me who also knew Wally from his radio days here in Sioux Falls.
Please be entertained knowing Adam West was not only one of Wallys idols, but is now also a friend of his.

Just to show that sometimes dreams do come true.

Blessed Be, and follow your feet to get where you want to go.

I found this article on TechRepublic & thought I would spread the word:

Workplace profanity boosts morale

Date: October 25th, 2007
Author: Toni Bowers
Category: Workplace, Coworkers, Company Culture
Tags: Workplace, Morale, Leadership, Management, Toni Bowers

Profanity can boost morale, according to a new British study, published in the current issue of the Leadership and Organization Development Journal, called “Swearing at work and permissive leadership culture: When anti-social becomes social and incivility is acceptable.”

Couple of points about this: A) Is that the longest title of a study you’ve ever heard of or what? and B) If they’re counting words muttered under the breath, I have the potential to be the happiest person on the face of the earth.

According to the study, “frequent swearing can reinforce solidarity among staff and enable them to express their feelings, such as frustration, and develop social relationships.” I guess until you turn to the person in the cubicle next to you and call her a $%$$#%. Then morale kind of plummets, at least for one person.

And I’m not extremely familiar with British law, but in the U.S. you can bleep your way to the highest realms of good morale…until one person finds it unacceptable and takes you and your potty mouth to court for creating a hostile work environment.

The press release on the study did quote a Professor Yehuda Baruch as saying that abusive and offensive swearing “should be eliminated where it generates greater levels of stress, rather than helping to relieve it.” How exactly you’re supposed to determine that I’m not sure.

Baruch admitted that finding that “happy medium” is a tough proposition for supervisors. “Managers need to understand how their staff feel about swearing. The challenge is to master the art of knowing when to turn a blind eye to communication that does not meet their own standards.”

Really and truly, I don’t think if I were the head of a company, I would trust anyone to successfully learn that “art.”

National Squirrel Awarness Week

2007-10-03T00:23:00.000-05:00

This is courtesy of www.scarysquirrel.org/
Click the link above to goto the original text, and working count-down counter.

Fall is harvest season, and October is the harvest month in the northern hemisphere. It's the time for harvest festivals, county fairs, Halloween, and that last plunge in the ol' swimmin' hole before winter sets in.

Well, Patriots, what was once a carefree time of year has been co-opted into a season of skwerlien debauchery. For, as many of you know, the second week in October was declared National Squirrel Awareness week in 2000 (England proceeded the States with its own National Red Squirrel Week in 1998).

We're not quite sure who to blame for this commemoration. Also note that the starting date varies from year-to-year, place-to-place. For example, there's seems to be disagreement as to when the second week in October starts. Some say it begins on the Sunday after the first full week. Others begin festivities on the first Sunday of the month (unless the first Sunday is the first day of the month...). It's confusing, but the week's timing and who's responsible for it isn't as important as what to do about it.

Sure, we could intiate a campaign to do away with this national embarrassment. Or, perhaps we should promote Skwerl Awareness Week as a time to drive the bushytails back into their forest hovels where they can gambol around with all their skwerlvert eco-terrorist friends. Then we could release an army of famished wolves into the forest and... well, you can see where we're going with this...HEY! THE NEXT NAT'L SQUIRREL AWARENESS WEEK BEGINS:

Blessed Be our furry little friends!
Dr. S

So, you wanna see something REALLY SCARY?!?!

2007-09-30T01:36:00.000-05:00

I saw this & thought back to when I was working for 'Disco On Wheels', when I got sent out to babysit the kelo dj's. But there was one night I had to drive & setup a gig for some dance at either Harrisburg or Canton, and the DJ, Wally Wingert, {who now does a butt-load of voice work, [i.e. Family Guy], & other stuff, and is still a good friend of mine}, and myself had both just seen the movie

"Twilight Zone"

[UPDATE 07.10.14: Thanks to 'The Mut', I corrected the movie from "Tales from the crypt"]
So, to top it off I had an aluminum splint on my wrist like a bad captain hook & Wally was dressed in all leather. For the whole night during the gig we referred to each other as "Aluma-Man & Leather Lad".

Mind you, Wally doesn't imbibe in anything, and I was totally dry. {yes, there was a time that I was responsible}

And as the night closed, & we bundled up all of the gear back into the truck, & we hit the highway to head home.

Imagine a full moon that you can drive & see EVERYTHING. It was a "I wear my sunglasses at night . . . . " moment.

We are still chatting back & forth about various things, and then it happened.

Headlights about two miles away.

I turned to Wally and asked "Do you want to see something really scary?'
He picked up on where I was going, and we both went into movie mode. Dialog & everything.

So here we are driving down a rural 2-lane highway, in a box-truck that has no equal for forward lights, {I forgot to mention that our boss rigged the panel van with a light package that would impress/blind people, why?, just because}, and there is someone coming at us.

So, I shut off the headlights, & there was mention of 'there might be nun's out there!!!', 'rocks must have taken out the headlights', etc.

As we got closer, I flipped the switches for the auxiliary lights, and turned them all on at about 3/4 of a mile. And by our guess, the car left close to a 150 yard skid track.

That made our night.

So anyway, now on with the show:

Do not watch this if you are tripping on anything, 'Cause it might warp your mind, curve your spine, and may help to lose the war for the allies'. {George Carlin}
But it is still cool.

Blessed be the artists that can have the forethought, patience, {thirteen hours}, to do things like this.

Notes from the veranda Pt 1

2007-09-18T02:04:00.000-05:00

So, as I sit out on the 'back porch" of my favorite pub, I am realizing it is actually a nice night to go camping. Unfortunately I have to be at work in about five hours to load the musical "Movin' Out" into my venue, babysit the show, shut our gear down,
drink, eat, sleep, baby sit show again, {read the label from any shampoo bottle and you will understand}

"Lather, rinse & repeat"

Anyway, I just felt it my duty to let you all in on a little secret. Promise to not tell anyone. Seriously, double pinky promise.

I killed a squirrel the other night.

I DID NOT MEAN TO DO IT! HE JUST RAN OUT & I SQUASHED HIM TO MUSH!

4400 lb vs 10oz [now ooze] what do think will win?

If you want to make contributions to the memorial fund for its family, send it to the Sioux Falls humane society;

And if you want to view the grave site, it is somewhere in the woods north of Rice, on Bahsen just shy of the bend to the east.
As an ordained pastor of the Universal Life Church, it was my calling to respectfully deal with the situation.

SO ANYWAY:

Physically or verbally, we all kill things, ideas, intentions, & love, without knowing that we have done so. And when we finnaly find out about it. It ends up too late to pick up the remnants & make good of the situation.

So, if you find yourself wondering in the trees & find a marker with foamy writen on it.

Please pay respect.

And if you find yourself wondering around going "WTF have I done? Where am I going?".

Take some time to enjoy what you have, & who you have in your life.
You may be surprised.

You asked for orignal material, you got it. Shit like this normally goes to my phantom site.

Blessed Be, & be respectful of others.

Why is it that the people that I know make some of the most stupid-assed decisions without asking someone else "Is this a stupid-assed thing to do?'.

It honestly scares me.

To those I see on a nightly basis. I'm sorry for being a total prick this last last week. Shit

This was longer. I cut out the crap that I had written after proofing it.

In all, yes I finally lost it after the pub closed. After reproofing, I realized I had left out the point of this post.
And thought I should tell you that a friend of mine committed suicide a few months ago. I only found about it last week.

Right now all I can say is be yourself, believe in what you do, and keep buggering on. And if you suspect someone not doing the same.

get them help

Blessed Be, and follow what The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy says on the cover.

Being alone, being lonely, and dealing with discrimination

2007-08-22T23:43:00.000-05:00

Ok, some of you get on me about posting stuff that is not of my creation. Well, tough-sh!t, my place, my editorial commentary, and my rules. And when I find something funny, cool, or that I feel that others would enjoy in expanding the intelligense of ones brain. I will post it. My sandbox, my toys, my opinion. At least I give credit when I can to whomever is the author.

That out of the way. I came across this article on Forbes that gives credence to what I as a single person have felt for many years. If someone married has a child or significant other that is sick, no-prob getting time off. However when the woman I lived with for over ten years calls up & I need to take her to the hospital, I get screwed out of PTO leave. If my pet, {that I considered my child}, got sick or died, I got buppkiss for sympathy from the corporate talking-heads that decide my monetary state.

But if I were married it is a whole different story. I would be allowed to come in late from dropping the kids off, leave early to pick E up from the clinic, and if the call came through that she had gone into labour, be ordered to leave the premises to attend my child's birth.

But I have seen too many of my friends lives ruined by jumping the gun early getting married before they realized how much they torque each other off when they are stuck together all the time. [what happened to me]

And remember kids:
Marriage is eight letters long.
And that makes it TWICE as bad as a four letter word.

If I get married, it will be to someone that I know I will be able to live with forever, die for, or die with.

Blessed Be, and . . . .

Best Cities For Singles
Stop Singlism!
Leslie Talbot 08.21.07, 6:00 PM ET

Listen up, singletons. If you've given up on the dating scene and resigned yourself to a lifetime of solitude culminating in a fatal fall in the shower and subsequent consumption by starving house pets, here's something else to fret about:

You're a member of the only minority subject to officially sanctioned discrimination--call it singlism.

As one of our nation's 90 million unmarried citizens, I've become inured to the social pressure to couple up--the backhanded insults and armchair psychoanalysis meted out by friends, co-workers, and well-meaning strangers at the bus stop whenever my marital status comes under scrutiny. And, believe me, I've heard it all. Selfish? Check. Immature? Check. Emotionally unstable? Check. Too picky for my own good? Check, check, and check.

But I've never bought into the prevailing notion that a perfectly fulfilling singular existence is little more than a karmic consolation prize. As far as I'm concerned, there's no more unfulfilling existence than one spent trapped with the wrong person. Take my word for it--a loveless marriage will sap your spirit and your sanity a lot more quickly than a lifetime of dateless Saturday nights. For me, then, and for many of the 41% of adults in this country who are single, singlehood is not merely the right choice. It is the responsible choice.

That's why I'm always so perplexed when confronted with evidence that the rest of the world believes otherwise.

From the workplace to the voting booth to your own backyard, the message to singles is clear, consistent, and omnipresent: Married:good! Single: bad! And, just to be sure you don't miss the point, there's no shortage of folks ready to pile on, just itching to remind you that, no matter how responsible and productive a member of society you think you are, without that "special someone" waiting for you at home, you are but a societal dilettante, unworthy of the rights, privileges and respect extended so enthusiastically to the coupled.

Single people make up a significant portion of the workforce, so you might think their employers would make at least a token effort to keep them happy. You'd be wrong. In their zeal to appear "family friendly," companies often overcompensate at the expense of singles, pressuring unmarried employees to travel more frequently, work more weekends and holidays, stay later during the week and refrain from taking time off during school vacation season, regardless of rank or seniority.

Not that all this extra work translates into a higher salary. A 2004 study by economists Kate Antonovics and Robert Town found that marriage increases men's wages by as much as 27%. All told, when pension, insurance and other benefits are factored in, married workers frequently end up out-earning their single counterparts by thousands of dollars a year.

Corporate America isn't any friendlier to singles on the consumer side of the equation, opting instead to shower their discounts on the wedded in the form of preferred insurance rates and "family" memberships at gyms and country clubs. And if you're considering a solo cruise or vacation to a posh resort or spa, make sure you've saved up enough to cover the "singles supplement" you'll be charged for daring to occupy an entire room by yourself. Happy trails!

Unfair, you cry? Don't look to the government for any redress, because they're in on it too. Anti-discrimination laws cover race, religion, gender and age--but singles go woefully unprotected at the federal level. In fact, when it comes to singlism, the government is one of the worst offenders, waving the tax code like a magical fairy wand of approval over married couples.

As a single homeowner, you can pay the same sale price, down payment, mortgage interest and property tax as that lovely couple in the identical house down the street--but should you choose to sell your home, you are entitled to only half the maximum capital gains exemption they will receive.

And, whatever you do, don't die--at least not if you have loved ones and want to leave stuff to them. A married couple can leave each other as much property, retirement savings and Social Security benefits as the surviving spouse can carry off, tax free. A single person's property, however, can be subject to all manner of taxes, or, in the case of Social Security payments, funneled back into the Federal trough in their entirety, regardless of total lifetime contributions.

For the record, I don't begrudge married people their due. And I will gladly pony up my share of the cost to keep the playgrounds open and public schools afloat. Contributing to the common good is the price we all pay for living in a civilized world, and if I can make someone else's life a little easier in the process, then, hey, more power to me. Besides, I'd rather have your children sitting in class perfecting their spitball skills than screaming in the restaurant booth beside me.

But I refuse to accept the idea that marriage alone should call for entitlements. After all, if single really is so bad, why are there so many of us? Why are we the fastest-growing demographic in the country today? And why, for every single deemed "unlucky in love," do I know a half-dozen more who deem themselves "lucky to have gotten out of that last nightmare relationship in one piece?"

The fact is, more and more Americans are deciding to marry when it's right and if it's right--not whether or not it's right. That's a state of affairs worth being thankful for. Now, if we could just get the singlists off our backs.

I found this blurp of a Jewish girl that pranked her {extreme} short fused parents via a morning radio show. The setup is that while at school she met an Italian & is dating him. What follows is what happened when she called her parents after her dad left a big rant on her voxmail triggered by one of the radio guys calling the home asking to speak with her.
Keep in mind mom & dad do not know the Jewish American Princess in their eyes, has a tap on her phone & the whole conversation is live, {though delayed thankfully}, and being broadcast as they spoke.

The 'Caerbannog Killer Rabbits' Await you all with great big nasti pointi teeth!

2007-08-10T23:05:00.000-05:00

So our fantasy football draft is August 27th. And once again I am signed up to help fill the roster, once in a while to get a "WTF did you do to win that one?", from the guys who know player stats like idiot savants. However, where I am on the level of stats & my picks, is mostly part random luck & name recognition.

And speaking of names, I had to come up with a name for my team that was better than the generic one that commissioner Led created. Then I got to thinking "why not a logo too?".

So, after much consideration and research, here are the top five teams I came up with:

The first was something related to the plight of the mis-understood deadly squirrel.

-SIOUX FALLS PSYCHO-SQUIRRELS-

Then refined the name because I like the photo

-SIOUX FALLS SUPER-SQUIRRELS-

Then I thought of yet another furry favorite animal of mine, and came up with this name.

-ANTIOCH GRENADIERS-

Then I went to Camelot and got a real silly idea for a name.

-CAERBANNOG KILLER BUNNIES-

Then realalizing how silly bunnies sounded I left Camelot. I mean, REALLY, bunnies are not threatening! What are they going to do, nibble your bum?

And so I finally settled on

-CAERBANNOG KILLER RABBITS-

And the finalist logo is. . .

So . . . .

Blessed Be, and beware of not only the nasti teeth, but rabbits bearing switchblades.

This is a flashback for me. I saw this when it first aired, and about fell off the couch laughing.
Thanks to Led, and the video he posted yesterday, I re-enjoyed some of the sketches from Carol Burnett. And remembered how damn funny Tim Conway was before the whole "Dorf" crap.

Enjoy. And for those of you old enough, look up the videos that made you laugh hard enough to almost laugh enough to make you snort, embarrass yourself, or projectile launch a contact lens across a room.

Then sit back & share with your friends what is truly funny.

What the hell is a panini anyway?

2007-07-09T22:29:00.000-05:00

Ok, some of you know my ravaging blood-lust against the politically correct bullshit that currently controls our lives.

Yet another thing that PISSES ME OFF to no extent is yuppie-bitch-marketing people, [not you Mr. Middlebrow], that make up a new fancy way to describe an old thing.

After careful & deep research I found out that Panini is just another way of saying......

A GRILLED SANDWICH!

Nothing more, nothing less. A couple chunks of bread, meat, cheese, and grill. THAT IS IT!

I did not know as a child, and continuing through the years of college, every time my mother, friend, or myself, made a grilled ham & cheese. We were making a 'gourmet delicacy'.

So cut the crap marketing people. Call a grilled sandwich, a fucking grilled sandwich!

And save us the cost of the bullshit ads that jack the goddamn price up of said sandwich.

Because I know many people that would rather pick up & eat a grilled cheese sandwich for $.50 than spend $5.00+ for the same damn thing that is called a name that nobody really understands.

Ohhh, wait, I finally see the ploy now. Not many people know what panini means, they just know it is trendy & that they gotta have it. Now it makes sense.

Blessed Be, And now I'm gonna go grill myself a panini on my George Forman waffle grille.
{note the 'e' on the end of grill? It makes it more trendy}

inmate No. 28301-016 - prison sentence gets commuted

2007-07-03T00:42:00.000-05:00

You may be asking "who the hell is "inmate No. 28301-016"?
ANSWER: Scooter Libby

After all of the Bullshit that has happened to try & sentence this mealy worm of a kiss ass to Dick Cheney, it was all negated by little King George. "I respect the jury's verdict," Bush said in a statement.

Yo Georgie, if you respected the verdict.
WHY THE FUCK GO AGAINST THEM?

The guy has been CONVICTED & SENTENCED! Again, like the Paris Hilton thing, those with money & connections get by with treatment that none of us in the vox-populi [sp?], could never dream of as a possible outcome of our wrong doings.

In the case of Scooter Libby, a.k.a. inmate No. 28301-016. [off topic, but anyone else remember the Libby's fruit jingle? I can't get it out of my head right now].

But he is getting no prison time for what he did. Where as you or I would probably be strapped down & executed like the Rosenburgs for treason & espionage.

This is yet another one of many of those "that shit don't fly with me" things that king George II has pulled. And Cheney is much worse from what little has slipped through the "I'm not responsible to anyone" net he has tried to construct around him. So click the link below to read the news story that set me off.

I HAVE FALLEN IN LOVE WITH MIKA BRZEZINSKI!!!

2007-06-28T00:38:00.000-05:00

Many of those out there know that I have an EXTREME lack of affectation for the snotty bimbo media WHORE otherwise known as paris hilton. [no caps on purpose].

I have yet to get a legit explanation of "who gives a f\/{k about this twunt, and why does she get so much press?"

If you or I pulled the kind of shit that she has, we would not see a day of freedom for many, many, WAY many years. This spoiled cwat, {I prefer twunt, and if you are lost by these terms ask someone that watches Dennis Leary's show 'Rescue Me'}. But I digress.

Yesterday on the msnbc morning news show 'Morning Joe', Mika Brzezinski refused to read the leading story about paris hit-on. Why you ask?

BECAUSE IT IS NOT FUCKING NEWS!!!! More or less a lead story!

I was happy when the thing many refer to as paris, got her pampered ass thrown back into jail. It meant a lot for me and millions of others that do not give a flaming rats ass about this senseless, mindless, self proclaimed spoiled bimbo leach media-whore twunt.

Then she got released this week, mind you STILL NOT SERVING HER FULL SENTENCE!

And the news equivalent of spam started yet again.

But Mika, who was one of the main on-site journalists on the scene during the 9/11 WTC incident, and brought us many more [true] news stories. Finally had enough.

She attempted to burn the story's script on air but was prevented from lighting it by a co-host. Later in the newscast, she subsequently tore and shredded copies of the story.

The video shows how asinine this crap has become, and how a very level headed true journalist gets pushed too far, and like in the movie Network, said "I'm mad as hell, and I will not take it anymore!"

That is why I have fallen in love.

That & I think she is a pretty intelligent, dignified, and smoking hot woman.
Too bad she is married, & her hubby is a cool dude.

Blessed Be, and don't stuff your dog in your purse.

It tends to really piss them off.

Evil Squirrel Attacks 3 Innocent People

Just when all seemed peaceful between man and beast, disaster arises in Germany as a sinister squirrel unleashes a furry frenzy on the defenseless populace.

Officials in Berlin reported an overly aggressive squirrel brutally savaging three people in a town before a 72-year-old man was able to bravely wield of its attacks with his wooden old-man cane.

The attacks began like so many others we have reported. An innocent 70-year-old lady sat quietly in her house, likely sewing or baking pie. Unbeknownst to her, a squirrel tenderly sneaked into her house, stalking her every move.

At the opportune moment, it sprung to life and before she could even react, it sank its teeth into her hand. Overwhelmed by the ferocity of the attack, the woman ran into the street, frantically trying to shake off the squirrel, according to police.

With the taste of human flesh fresh in its mouth, the squirrel continued its attacks. On a building site, a grizzled construction worker was simply tending to tasks in a building. With the blinding speed and raw power of an Olympian, reports indicate the squirrel leapt up onto the worker and attacked his harm. Shaken, and desperate, the construction worker lunged for a weapon -a measuring pole- and wielded it to try to ward the beast away from him.

Not phased after taking down two humans, the squirrel decided to go for the Hat Trick. He wanted a third victim.

Running on a 2-0 win streak versus humans, the squirrel spotted what he thought would be his next victim -a 72-year-old man- in a garden.

Not wasting a second, the squirrel lunged at the man and began its attack. A spokesman had this to say;

“…the squirrel went into the 72-year-old man’s garden and massively attacked him on the arms, hand and thigh.”

Somewhere, somehow, this man was able to overcome the initial injuries and reach for his cane, well, crutch and fight back against the squirrel. He reached deep and was able to deliver an ultimate dose of ownage in the name of mankind. The man managed to kill the squirrel with his crutch.

Make no mistake, however, that spring is just starting and with this squirrel now being a martyr, this is likely the first of a new string of animal attacks on humans.

Some of you know the hell I have gone through to get my shit back running on the new computer. One of the things aside from that was trying to get my template back after google/blogger kidnapped my template & dumbed down the interface that some idiot can edit the blog.

But not someone that has been using computers since 1978.

So I finally found out how to change things again, 'the old school way', and the sidebar links should open in separate windows like they used to, if you browse with internet exploder the warning should again prompt you to use Firefox. {you REALLY SHOULD! It is a lot safer for viruses, trojans, & other nasti things out there, and it is free!}.

AND IT NOW PLAYS NICE WITH THE E-VILE WIN-VISTA!

So, now I will be able to change shit around like I used to without the lame-assed interface that blogger forced down my throat.

Connect to TV - fun little squiggly lines.
Connect to external monitor - same crap as what is on the laptop screen

[actually, I do, but they will remain nameless. Unless they decide to leave the range of the ankle bracelet detector].

Another thing is even though I have my external mouse plugged in, if I just slightly brush against the POS touchpad, I end up opening a ton a crap while I am typing, which begets more windows, which begets even more windows, etc, etc, and so on.

But, even Microsoft admits Vista sucks ass, & we will all have to "upgrade" again in 6 years.

Sounds to me like another Win ME/screw the pooch/take it in the ass situation for the minions of gates.

But, I really cannot return this bastard child of acer. I don't want to have to deal with porting shit over for a while.

That is, unless I find the dumb-fuck that designed this laptop.

clouds

2007-05-22T23:14:00.000-05:00

I meant to do this earlier yesterday. But with the crap that came down on me, it just sort of killed my karma.

I was at work and went outside for a smoke & some fresh air, {yes, I know that is an oxymoron}, but I was in a thought pattern.

I actually was happy looking up & around.

It was not being happy, it was being peaceful.

As I sat & smoked my smoke, {marb lite 100}, I thought about the clouds above me. And it dawned on me that people REALLY TAKE LIFE TOO SERIOUSLY!

If you see a cloud the size of your car, it is most likely it is bigger than your neighborhood.

Clouds can look friendly with all of the white "fluffy" stuff. But the angry clouds are what you need to run away from.

And, it does not take long for a "happy" to become "extremely pissed off" cloud.

BUT THAT IS NOT THE CASE RIGHT NOW

I guess as the drunk shit-heads around me perverse what I what to say.

They can't do it

I love being able to see the clouds pass by.

Blessed Be, and don't take life too seriously
We all die in the end

So, maybe this is why I have been sick?

2007-04-29T21:37:00.000-05:00

Since I started at Century Theatres, I have constantly been sick. I thought it might be my diet, [changed that]. I thought it might have been dealing with the toxic chemicals, [no ventilation in my workroom]. And then I just passed it off as stress, [work hours varied, mostly overnight when no-one else is there, and being 24/7 on call].

But, I found this article that made me think. I have dealt with more than 300 compact fluorescent light bulbs in replacing them while at Century. Most of which were cheap lamps that had broken away from the base. The only way to remove/replace them was to use a pliers & yank it out of the socket while standing directly below the fixture.

CFL's are great on energy savings.

But up until now, I didn't realize how bad for the environment, and ourselves, they are.

I personally will stick with buying a lamp that, if it breaks, I might cut myself cleaning up. Rather than while cleaning up the mess, I not only cut myself, but poison myself.

Blessed Be, & if you have a bad CFL, the toxic waste station is @ the bottom of the north Cliff hill, just off of the Sioux River. [I think that is ironic]

Dr. S.

This is from canada.com. The piece is written by Steven Milloy

How much money does it take to screw in a compact fluorescent light bulb? About US$4.28 for the bulb and labour -- unless you break the bulb. Then you, like Brandy Bridges of Ellsworth, Maine, could be looking at a cost of about US$2,004.28, which doesn't include the costs of frayed nerves and risks to health.

Sound crazy? Perhaps no more than the stampede to ban the incandescent light bulb in favour of compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs).

According to an April 12 article in The Ellsworth American, Bridges had the misfortune of breaking a CFL during installation in her daughter's bedroom: It dropped and shattered on the carpeted floor.

Aware that CFLs contain potentially hazardous substances, Bridges called her local Home Depot for advice. The store told her that the CFL contained mercury and that she should call the Poison Control hotline, which in turn directed her to the Maine Department of Environmental Protection.

The DEP sent a specialist to Bridges' house to test for mercury contamination. The specialist found mercury levels in the bedroom in excess of six times the state's "safe" level for mercury contamination of 300 billionths of a gram per cubic meter. The DEP specialist recommended that Bridges call an environmental cleanup firm, which reportedly gave her a "low-ball" estimate of US$2,000 to clean up the room. The room then was sealed off with plastic and Bridges began "gathering finances" to pay for the US$2,000 cleaning. Reportedly, her insurance company wouldn't cover the cleanup costs because mercury is a pollutant.

Given that the replacement of incandescent bulbs with CFLs in the average U.S. household is touted as saving as much as US$180 annually in energy costs -- and assuming that Bridges doesn't break any more CFLs -- it will take her more than 11 years to recoup the cleanup costs in the form of energy savings.

The potentially hazardous CFL is being pushed by companies such as Wal-Mart, which wants to sell 100 million CFLs at five times the cost of incandescent bulbs during 2007, and, surprisingly, environmentalists.

It's quite odd that environmentalists have embraced the CFL, which cannot now and will not in the foreseeable future be made without mercury. Given that there are about five billion light bulb sockets in North American households, we're looking at the possibility of creating billions of hazardous waste sites such as the Bridges' bedroom.

Usually, environmentalists want hazardous materials out of, not in, our homes. These are the same people who go berserk at the thought of mercury being emitted from power plants and the presence of mercury in seafood. Environmentalists have whipped up so much fear of mercury among the public that many local governments have even launched mercury thermometer exchange programs.

As the activist group Environmental Defense urges us to buy CFLs, it defines mercury on a separate part of its Web site as a "highly toxic heavy metal that can cause brain damage and learning disabilities in fetuses and children" and as "one of the most poisonous forms of pollution."

Greenpeace also recommends CFLs while simultaneously bemoaning contamination caused by a mercury-thermometer factory in India. But where are mercury-containing CFLs made? Not in the United States, under strict environmental regulation. CFLs are made in India and China, where environmental standards are virtually non-existent.

And let's not forget about the regulatory nightmare in the U.S. known as the Superfund law, the EPA regulatory program best known for requiring expensive but often needless cleanup of toxic waste sites, along with endless litigation over such cleanups.

We'll eventually be disposing billions and billions of CFL mercury bombs. Much of the mercury from discarded and/or broken CFLs is bound to make its way into the environment and give rise to Superfund liability, which in the past has needlessly disrupted many lives, cost tens of billions of dollars and sent many businesses into bankruptcy.

As each CFL contains five milligrams of mercury, at the Maine "safety" standard of 300 nanograms per cubic meter, it would take 16,667 cubic meters of soil to "safely" contain all the mercury in a single CFL. While CFL vendors and environmentalists tout the energy cost savings of CFLs, they conveniently omit the personal and societal costs of CFL disposal.

Not only are CFLs much more expensive than incandescent bulbs and emit light that many regard as inferior to incandescent bulbs, they pose a nightmare if they break and require special disposal procedures. Yet governments (egged on by environmentalists and the Wal-Marts of the world) are imposing on us such higher costs, denial of lighting choice, disposal hassles and breakage risks in the name of saving a few dollars every year on the electric bill? - Steven Milloy publishes JunkScience.com and CSRWatch.com.

1972. The year that made my life

2007-04-26T22:47:00.000-05:00

There are some people that do not agree with me with the outcome of the election between McGovern & nixon. But, as I sat stuffing envelopes, during the 1972 election at the "National Headquarters". I knew this guy was one of the best men I would ever meet.

I remember the fun, but at the same time serious aura of working there.

And that is why I helped out the next time around.

But while riding my ten-speed home down 18th street, after volunteering for the next campaign. I hit a pot-hole, destroyed the whole front end of my bike. [handlebar broke & dropped into the spokes]. Fortunately there was an SFPD two cars back from the idiot that tried to pass me thus forcing me into the pothole.

He helped me up, took me home, and I will never forget the look on my mothers face when I got out of the police car. After explaining what had happened, and with my bike totally trashed.

DIRECTLY TO THE HOSPITAL!

{seriously, I meant this post to be short. But this cathartic.}

The next summer my grandmother noticed & thought the lump on my shoulder might be a cancer. So I go back into the hospital, {I can't name it, but it used to start with an 'S', and still does}, and I go through x-ray & a bunch of other crap only to find out that I had a compacted bone in my right shoulder.

SO, Now to the point....

I got an email from my father. He is responsible for my political, but he & my mother shaped me into the socially conscious person I am now.

BUT NOT POLITICALLY CORRECT AT TIMES!!

So, not to bore you anymore, and I know that you are wondering were the hell I am going with this.............

Dick Cheney made a comment about George McGovern. And for me, I hurt.

The text from the email my father received this info was:

At last, Senator McGovern answered the recent uncalled for swipe taken by Vice President Cheney. Cheney attempted to blackball opponents to continuing the invasion and occupation of Iraq by comparing them to George McGovern. Cheney, who avoided service in our nation’s military, felt that comparing war opponents to McGovern would stir national hatred against the Democrats in Congress. Frankly, comparing the Democratic members of Congress to a World War II hero who was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross serves as a compliment to them. Do you know any Republicans who’d feel honored being called a “Dick Cheney Republican?”

I have prattled on long enough. Here are the links to the L.A. Times story. Otherwise this post will now go on forever. However, I still cannot believe the VP of our nation would be as dumb as his boss for such a public flub.

George McGovern: Cheney is wrong about me, wrong about war

And the opinions of others:

Votes of support for McGovern

Blessed Be, and please, I ask you to not be an ass to those that give a crap about OUR nation

2007-04-21T18:27:00.000-05:00

A fellow named Led, had a song stuck in his head.
The song was Rocky Raccoon by the Beatles.
He tried to sing it to someone, just to have fun
And we were all on pins & needles.

But after the first, of many a verse
he forgot the rest of the words
But the doctor himself, with a network of wealth
but I can't find a rhyme except turds.

AHH SCREW IT! I couldn't think up good final line!

I found this so that he can annoy & perplex his coworkers even more:

Rocky raccoon

Now somewhere in the black mountain hills of Dakota
There lived a young boy named Rocky Raccoon
And one day his woman ran off with another guy
Hit young Rocky in the eye, Rocky didn't like that
He said I'm gonna get that boy
So one day he walked into town
Booked himself a room in the local saloon

Rocky Raccoon checked into his room
Only to find Gideon's bible
Rocky had come equipped with a gun
To shoot off the legs of his rival
His rival it seems had broken his dreams
By stealing the girl of his fancy
Her name was Magil and she called herself Lil
But everyone knew her as Nancy

Now she and her man who called himself Dan
Were in the next room at the hoe down
Rocky burst in and grinning a grin
He said Danny boy this is a showdown
But Daniel was hot - he drew first and shot
And Rocky collapsed in the corner

Now the doctor came in stinking of gin
And proceeded to lie on the table
He said Rocky you met your match
And Rocky said, doc it's only a scratch
And I'll be better, I'll be better doc as soon as I am able

Now Rocky Raccoon he fell back in his room
Only to find Gideon's bible
Gideon checked out and he left it no doubt
To help with good Rocky's revival

Goo goo ka choob,

We Protect Kids From Everything But Fear

With hand sanitizer and long-sleeved swimsuits, we're teaching our children a dangerous lesson.

By Paula Spencer

Newsweek

April 2, 2007 issue - Four 11- and 12-year-old girls stood in front of my open pantry, mouths gaping wide. "Look! Fruit Roll-Ups!" "Oh, my God! Chocolate-chip cookies!" "You have regular potato chips? We only get the soy kind!"

After 14 years and four kids, I thought I'd feel comfortable as a mother. Instead, I'm increasingly aware of a prickly new sensation: that I'm some kind of renegade. Who knew that buying potato chips would become a radical act? Or that letting my daughters walk home from school alone would require administration approval? How did I, a middle-of-the-road mom, become a social deviant?

Fear is the new fuel of the American mom. If it's not fear of her child becoming obese, it's the fear of falling behind, missing out on a sports scholarship or winding up with a thin college-rejection envelope.

Apparently I'm not nervous enough. Last summer while I was loafing in front of the TV with my kids, the most benign things morphed into menaces. For example, the sun: long-sleeved, UV-protective swimsuits were all the rage at my neighborhood pool, while I could barely remember to bring the year-old sunscreen. The water wasn't safe either: at the beach I saw tots dressed in flotation belts and water wings—for shelling along the shore. And goodbye, cotton candy and hot dogs! At a major-league game I saw moms and dads nix the stuff as if they'd never eaten the occasional ballpark treat. As if their children would balloon into juvenile-diabetes statistics if a single swig of sugary soda passed their lips.

Half my kids' friends—who already make A's and B's—had summer tutors in order to "keep it fresh." I thought vacation was for relaxing and recharging. What would our pioneer foremoms think? (You want something to worry about, let me show you frostbite, typhoid and bears!) Heck, what must our own mothers think? (Snap out of it! Go worry about something truly scary, like how you're going to pay for retirement!)

I thought that once the kids were back in school, things would calm down. Instead, a fresh seasonal crop of anxiety sprouted, this time over corruptive candy fund-raisers and insufficient use of hand sanitizer. I know one mom who wants to change her son's schedule because he doesn't know anyone in his classes; she's worried he'll be "socially traumatized" all year. Another is afraid of a learning disability she just read about, though her child seems bright and charming to me.

And then there's playground panic. I had to laugh when an Australian study recently found that playground injuries continue to rise despite safety improvements. One of the suspected reasons: the safe new play structures are so boring that kids are taking more risks in order to have fun.

The fears are as irrational as they are rampant. Recently my children's elementary school failed to meet adequate yearly progress goals for a particular minority's reading progress under the No Child Left Behind Act and was placed on a warning list. This meant parents might gain the right to transfer their children to another school in the district. Never mind that this very same school sent more kids to the district's gifted program than any other, or that this entire district has the highest SAT scores in the state. The day the news broke, six different moms (none in the affected minority) asked me if I was planning to transfer my kids. From neighborhood pride and joy to threat to child's future overnight.

It's not that I think parents shouldn't worry about anything. I'm personally petrified of SUV drivers on cell phones. I fret as much as the next mom about how to pay for college. I pray my kids won't wander onto MySpace and post something dumb.

But you can't go around afraid of everything. It's too exhausting! No matter how careful you are, bad stuff happens (diaper rash, stitches, all your friends assigned to another class). And it's seldom the end of the world.

Watching my daughter's friends ogle my pantry, I realized there's one big, legitimate fear that I haven't heard anybody mention: what's the effect of our collective paranoia on the kids? Yes, these very kids we want to be so self-sufficient, responsible, confident, happy and creative (not to mention not food-obsessed). They're growing up thinking these weirdly weenie views are healthy and normal.

Walking out my front door that day, each girl happily clutched a plastic baggie stuffed with the exotic kid snacks that my daughter had doled out in pity. I may be a rebel mom, but at least I'm not afraid of a chocolate-chip cookie.
