CNN finally has a winner
Is this a major no brainer or what? It's almost not a question...
PETA's comparison of the Nazi Holocaust to the slaughter of animals for food is:
• An effective argument for animal rights
• An unfair and outrageous comparison
It could be rephrased like this: "Are you a fucked up tree huggin animal lover who doesn't understand the food chain and has no sympathy for the Holocaust atrocities?" Also equivalent would be the question "are you a member of peta?" its all the same...
I have sharp teeth and eyes in the front. If it moves I decide weather or not I want to kill it and eat it... its what I do... ok I pay someone else to do the killin, but in fact I would do it myself. I think the slaughter houses should have "amateur night" where you can buy a cow and "do it yourself", but then again, I'm a crazy mutherfucker...

Speaking of books...
I was digging through and cleaning out my outlook notes. They used to sync into my rex so i always had them with me. I had a book list of books to read. I went down the list and I have read every single book on the list.
BOO YA...

Books?
So i'm in compusa. And I know we crack on best buy, but this guy took the cup from Best Buy. I'm talking to him about some product and he's having to just check the web. He seems like he has a bit of brain. Maybe just a few brain cells to rub together. But overall he's ok to say 'i don't know' which is a good thing. I think someone is really smart if they look me in the eye and say "i don't know". You get big points... but sometimes i'm wrong (see the entire blog space for examples of me being wrong)
So i says to him "Do you know where a book store is around here?"... He looks at me and says "I don't do books."... WTF?
I don't do books? I hear "i can't read" WTF?
OK so now when we talk about the stupid, i think we need it to be compusa. Please update your records accordingly... thanks

What is the best thing that can run through your mind during a threesome? "Who's hand is that?"

a spoon full of m&m's
You ever have a thing sneak up on you and show you that you shouldn't be afraid of it?
I dreaded taking pills as a kid. I begged for liquid medicine right up til I was 15. I had an ear infection and the Dr. found out I couldn't take pills, he gave me pills anyways. I hated him for that. I did learn it. I'm glad I learned it.
I was dreading that day with Max. He hates chewables. He doesn't really care for liquid medicine (who does?). So it just so happened tonight that I was talking to him about swallowing pills. I got silly with it. I put my finger on my tongue and was giving a whole lecture on the art of pill swallowing. He never got the idea it was hard. I kept repeating "If you go fast, it won't be icky. You go slow it will be icky" (To get the true sense of how that went. Take you index finger and press it to the tip of your tongue and read that quote aloud about 6 times)
So he wanted to try it and we had some mini m&m's around. He has a stuffy nose and we wanted him to take some benedryl, but i didn't have any hopes of him taking the caplet, but rather the liquid. He chose milk to drink and mini m&m's. Since messing around and being silly was working, i Kept it up. I kept taking the m&m away from him because it was the wrong color to start on. Then he tried and it didn't work. I forgot to tell him the step where you shake it loose from your tongue. Once I got that across (again with my finger in my mouth because he listened) he swallowed the m&m. I was shocked. Then he did it again. and again. Each time I was amazed.
Then the real deal came... the caplet. I stressed "fast no icky, slow... ICKY" he went fast. Little bastard got it on the first shot. I freaked out (as I promised him I would) and I jumped around the kitchen yelling 'boo... YA'... good times were had by all...
I was more worried about learning to take pills than about telling him about sex. That talk should be nothing now... right?

Outside the shopping cart
Shopping just sucks. Tammy and I needed one thing. One very specific thing. We also thought we might pick up a game someone recommended for the kids. So we started at circuit city looking for a PCMCIA to CF card adapter. (Thanks to Gary for pointing out that PCMCIA actually stands for: People Can't Memorize Computer Industry Acronyms). They don't have it. So we think of going to Best Buy. But then we think well we can get upwards at target and if they don't have it we can see the good guys. This keeps us out of Best Buy and that's a good thing.
So we go to Target. We debate getting a cart and finally we decide that we always go in there for a $12 item and walk out with a hundred bucks worth of shit. The sad part is, by the end we know we need all that c note's worth of shit. So I grab a cart.
Fucking thing has a square wheel. I shit you not. Ka-Thunk Ka-Thunk really bad. I've had some real nasty carts at Safeway but this one get the award. Ka-Thunk... So I reject it. I put it off to the side so someone will think: Hey maybe that cart has a square fucking wheel thats going to go ka-thunk ka-thunk and will avoid it as I did not. So without much thought I get another cart.
When I get the cart off the mat they keep all the carts on you got it... Ka-Thunk so fuck it I'll just keep it. There is some freak in the parking lot filing down the wheels so they do this. KaThunk KaThunk... this is cheesin me off. I'm getting pissed. I'm also gonna lose a filling or worse my crown any second and still there isn't anything in my cart. I'm in serious danger here.
So i don't want another cart. But I want to keep all of my teeth. So I decide the problem is in one of the front wheels. So what do i do? a wheeley (spelling?) Yup I take my kids way out on this one. I put a food on the bottom of the cart and push down on the handle thus creating a leverage or torque (I just like using words with q in the middle) on the cart with the rear wheels as a fulcrum (that's a pretty good word too) and the front wheels elevate and no mo kathunk. boo ya. I was right theory proved... front wheels bad. Back wheels good.
So we go to look for Upwards. I'm still on two wheels. i find its really easy to turn the fucking cart around and I consider always shopping this way. However the items in the upper portion of the cart do want to fall out on my feet, so maybe this theory needs work.
So you know me. I'm happy. I'm groovin to the wheely and yes I'm getting some looks. Tammy is avoiding me, no surprise there, when i'm acting a fool she steps away. Its been her way for years. It's effective.
So i got to get D batteries. You got to have D batteries, right? So there are two ladies with their backs to me standing right next to the target toy and game battery center. Do you see where I'm going with this?
I decided to land by the batteries. Did you know that when a kathunking cart puts it front wheels back down... its kinda... loud? LOUD loud LOUD in a word. BAM
I scared the shit out of those ladies. I scared the shit out of me. Tammy was no where to be seen... (she smart like that). I haven't had to apologize like that in a long time. Well to someone I don't know. I mean it was a crash and these women jumped and I jumped and I felt bad. I explained about the square wheel. I demonstrated. They nodded. They said it was all right and kinda just got away from me as if I were wearing a Reynolds aluminum foil cap to protect me from cosmic rays.
I got my D cells, headed out... Ka thunk... KaThunk... I did it again. I popped it up. But when I landed that time it was next to Tammy and I knew better than to land hard again. I put my foot back on the cart and brought it down very slowly. Tammy shot me a look. I explained about the battery center... I tried to demonstrate...
She just took the cart.....

CNN strikes again
It's been a while since I've even looked at the CNN quick vote. Dig this one:
Is the shuttle program the best way for NASA to continue manned space flight?
Yes
No
WTF? Talk about asking a set of people something they are wholly unqualified to answer. God Damn it. I mean that's like asking the US senate if the shuttle's hydraulic pressure should be dropped 7 millibars before reentry from now on.
Say it with me. Its just fucking stupid... its just fucking stupid... We pay the NASA people to do this. Shut the fuck up about it.
And while I'm at it. This is dangerous. People talking about stopping. They grounded the fucking program for 2 1/2 years after the Challenger tragedy. It is sad. I ask what would the late crew say about that? Something they believed in so deeply that they risked and lost their lives for, just end it? No way. Fix the problem and move on. We got people up there now.
Where is Feynman when we need him?

Driver's renewal
ya so my birthday is coming up and its time to stand in line, right? Not only are you older, heavier and can't see as well you got to stand in line and pay $25 for the privildge. So why am I so fucking happy? I just am? No...
I was number fucking two, 2, II. duo... boo ya I've never been 2 in that line. I'm even so special I know 1. She even sat next to me. Ya it was Tammy
I took the eye test sans glasses and I passed. So no glasses restriction on the licence.
When she said twenty five dollars i almost shit myself. I didn't know it was gonna be that much. So I asked about credit... HA... So I'm ok right Tammy is right there, I'm cool, she can write me a check. But I start to dig. $23... fuck... coins? no... wait other pocket... BOO YA $10 I was able to pay with exact change. (Note to self need to stop for cash)
I was the first to get my picture taken. Not #2 but first. Tammy's agent was a little slower than mine so I got my pic first. Then we were out the door.
So the bad news is my fucking picture. I looked at the fucking tweety. I tried to fucking smile. I look awful. Dork. Dork Dork. Dork cubed. No retakes. No digital previews (although the shot is digital) put your toes on the green line and smile if you want to. FLASH... sit down. If you haven't got the licence in 30 days call the # on the back of the temp... but you'll look like a dork in that one too.... sorry...
I'm singing the DOT blues... but I can look on the bright side I didn't have to hear "Now serving #1234"...
dork... thats me...

Recipe for the ultimate grilled sanwich
I made this for lunch today. It rocked. Just picture me on a cooking show when you read this...
2 slices of orrowheat potato bread
2 slices of healthy choice roast beef from safeway. Safeway. Not albertsons. Don't get me started on those pricks.
3 slices of American cheese. Yes American. What are you looking at with that cheddar shit? American cheese. You can't have a grilled sandwich without American cheese. Christ on a cracker... cheddar...
one small tomato sliced in 4 slices. You can eat the ends as they don't go well on the sandwich. I like to dab a little kosher salt on there before eating the tomato while I'm cooking, but you can season it anyway you like..
Some sort of cholesterol free butter sub. I know I know. Look at all those grams of fatty acids above and here I am using country crock. With that line up 4 lbs of real butter from Marie shouldn't make a difference. Triglicerides out the ass.... WTF? I dunno maybe I like it? It spreads easy? no clue.
Butter the bread on one side. Ok country fuckin' crock the bread on one side. We've been over this. Each slice of the bread will be butter side down. The sandwich is still just two pieces of buttered bread on a griddle. It won't be a sandwich until the final assembly stage much later.
Put the American cheese (for those of you in Canada of which I believe my readership is a big fat 0 its processed cheese. see above with your havarti crap). One slice on one side and two on the other. do not divide the cheese. Also be sure to take the cheese out of its wrapper. (I don't like being sued either) The griddle should be on a medium heat. Put the roast been down on the bare metal. Do not burn yourself here trying to turn the beef with your fingers... Marie... Yes I'm talking to you. Use a kitchen implement to flip it. Get it good and hot. Test this by listening for something called a sizzle. Do not touch it to see if it's hot. No burns. Put it on the side with one slice of cheese. This is key.
Next put the slices of tomato on the griddle. Don't burn yourself (see above). They will sizzle right quick. (that is a valid unit of measure in the south, so don't fuck with me. If you want to know how long "right quick" is then put some fucking tomato slices on a hot griddle and see how fast they sizzle). When they are sizzlen good. Put them on the other piece of bread without the beef.
Now check the bread and watch the tomatoes adhere to the cheese. This is key cause you are gonna flip them onto the beef and you want them good and stuck. Just trust me on this one. As the bread finishes grilling flip the tomato side over as per instructions above. Finish the grilling if needed on either side.
Cut the sandwich diagonally. Garnish with napkins. (It is messy). Beverage? What else a real can of CocaCola Classic (tm)
Enjoy.

Renaissance Man II
Went shopping today. I found I'm not a very good Renaissance man.
I left the list at home and had to drive to the store twice. (Of course the driving back could be seen as a point in my favor as I didn't try to wing it...)
The list wasn't done. I saw the list and I ran with it. Sorry Tammy
I left my cell phone in the car and so I felt a little naked. After all where is the RMF without his trusty cell phone and planner?
Feeling naked in the store I kinda rushed. I rushed and made mistakes. Go backs. Go backs are bad.
I walked out of there without buying a 20oz coke... What in the fuck was I thinking??
To redeem myself I reorganized one of our cabinets.... I don't think it makes up for the slackin at the store, but its a start. How long can you keep almonds at the back of the cabinet? The answer doesn't matter because I have no idea when they went in. I tossed them. I did recover 3 chip clips that weren't doing anybody any good....

Shoot Shooting Shot..
I'm going to take some photos on Saturday. Its a 3 pronged shoot. First off i'm shooting Tom doing some street work. This is a shoot about with some other people. I'm bringing a friend who is into photography and she's gonna help me with the Tom shoot. The concept of a shoot about is to get a bunch of photographers and turn them loose on an area then later they meet up and talk about the shoot and what they did etc. It should be great fun.
I think we'll also be shooting in his store especially the back room. Magicians only... oooooo.... if they show. We might have to stage some laymen to be our magicians, that'll be funny. Look sir... Hold the cards just like this... put your finger here and your other hand like this. yes yes... no no... we don't want the biddle grip we're looking for a deep mechanic's grip. Great don't move... Ma'am if you would look surprised I'd really appreciate it... one two BOOOOO click... hey! whatever works!
Fun with lighting... I'm gonna bring the whole damn shooting match. Egg and all. Should be a blast. Lots of "cups" shots....
I'm so looking forward to this shoot i'm already starting to get ready for it... I need to color balance the hot lamp with the digital camera. So much to do, so much to see....

I'm bringing a friend who is into photography and she's gonna help me with the Tom shoot. The concept of a shoot about is to get a bunch of photographers and turn them loose on an area then later they meet up and talk about the shoot and what they did etc. It should be great fun.
I think we'll also be shooting in his store especially the back room. Magicians only... oooooo.... if they show. We might have to stage some laymen to be our magicians, that'll be funny. Look sir... Hold the cards just like this... put your finger here and your other hand like this. yes yes... no no... we don't want the biddle grip we're looking for a deep mechanic's grip. Great don't move... Ma'am if you would look surprised I'd really appreciate it... one two BOOOOO click... hey! whatever works!
Fun with lighting... I'm gonna bring the whole damn shooting match. Egg and all. Should be a blast. Lots of "cups" shots....

It's really a simple game
You hit the ball, you throw the ball, you catch the ball... Some days you win, some days you lose, and some days it rains... think about it... --Ebby Calvin Nuke LaLoosh in Bull Durham.
Lets talk rain for a sec... I mean I live right where it rains the most. I like the rain, I enjoy it. The rain i'm thinking of is a metaphorical rain. Not literal water falling from the sky. When a baseball game rains out, it means nobody gets to even bat. I say it rains when something happens and I don't even get a shot. It's not really a depressing thought. Although I am going to make a WSP_MF CD (Thats Wallowing In Self Pity MOFO CD) but thats not what this is about.
If you lose, great, it sucks, lick your damn wounds and learn some shit from what went down. If it rains there is very little data to learn from, but at the same time you can choose not to see it as a loss. If it rains hey you didn't lose. So the cup is 1/2 full. Certainly 1/2 full of water... if you leave it outside around here... for any length of time.
