Sad But True…Comedy?

As I’ve said before, the people should be given a test before they’re allowed to vote. Maybe this is one big joke, maybe not.

I’m talking “lost in space”. Unbelievable.

A shot of BBBC to my friend Jimbo.

Fair?

This is worth the short read.

First And Last

Yabu — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 14:01:15 +0000

The first and last professional football game I watched this year:

I don’t follow professional football any more. I don’t give a shit about watching a bunch of overly paid, ~~mostly~~ almost illiterate and definitely arrogant, people who think they are so important bashing into each other. When does Money make you smart? Does (the most) money make your opinions true? I think not. Football and politics are all about perceived power. I don’t give a shit about someone who makes millions a year and believes he or she has answers. They believe they know everything. They believe they are entitled, they believe money makes them right. I call bullshit.

Having said that…I did watch the game last night. I didn’t have a dog in the hunt, and could care less which team won…I just wanted to see a good game…and a good game it was. I watched it from start to finish, and it was a great contest. I was on the edge of my seat many times.

Does more money make you right?

Hell if I know, I guess we should defer to the actors in Hollywood and elsewhere to explain exactly why that is. Athletes as well.

Great game though, I enjoyed it. I guess I’m a hypocrite.

WHOA!

I’ve had some recent communications in the last few days from some people around here. Their idea, not mine. They want to back me, and want me to get into local politics. They want to vote for me if I do. They really want me to do it, and they are serious. They want me to explain my views to the public. They want me to tell it like it is from my perspective to others. They want me to run for some local office. They believe they can get me elected. I take that as a compliment, and I can pass a background check, but I told ‘em I say “fuck” too much and have been known to talk about the good thing on occasion. They told me that wasn’t a problem, they could fix it. Fix it how? What needs to be fixed? Damn weird is all I can say. I have been known to be a tad bit opinionated on occasion, but these fuckers are serious. So, just for the sake of curiosity, I will meet with them. This will be a good one.

This offer came out of the blue, but I will investigate it further. It is a 99% no go, but I will listen to what they have to say, and why they think I can help them. Weird stuff happens.

Very fucking interesting, if I don’t say so myself.

The Juju Woman says it best, “those people are fucking crazy, but maybe not”. I love that woman.

Two Questions

Yabu — Sun, 29 Jan 2012 16:21:31 +0000

Please respond in the comments. I’m curious.

1. What has had the greatest impact on you life, Broadband Internet, or the Cell Phone?

2. If the Internet, or Cell Phone communications went down for a week, a month, or a year, or longer…what do you think would happen? Think big and small.

The Surprise Slide

Yabu — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 15:52:59 +0000

Recently, in my small town, we’ve had several home break-ins, home invasions, whatever you want to call ‘em. People are desperate. The bad guys and girls are kicking down doors, breaking and climbing in windows, while people are at home! Most, in broad fucking daylight. They don’t care. The don’t knock, they just crash in. This is happening in nice neighborhoods…the dirt-bags believe they’ll get more for the risk. Their Modus Operandi is to taser everyone inside, steal all their stuff, and make a clean getaway. Well, I guess the odds are better you could survive being tasered, as opposed to being shot, but still. What is this world coming to? I need to get in the habit of locking my doors and my cars, not that that would make a difference. Alarms and security companies don’t work…neither do signs. These people don’t care, they’re in and out way before the police arrive. If you depend on the police to protect you, you’re not very smart. Hell if I know, but I do know it is unlikely anyone could escape after a blast of 3 in. double ought buck. If that shit will go through doors and walls, it will go through you. I will blast anyone who breaks into my house. Of course, Stretch will give me enough warning to rack the surprise slide.

I know many anti-gun people, and I just don’t get it. I’ve said this before, and I’ll say it again…“better to have one and not need it, than to need one and not have it”. You never know what will happen, but when it happens, it happens fast. Just remember, you will not have enough time to unlock a gun safe and load a weapon. You’ll be dead by then. Just something to keep in mind.

Why are some people so anti-gun? I would really like to know. It makes no common sense to me. It’s like drinking water out of your cupped hands, when there is a glass at your elbow.

A Mirror

Yabu — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 18:58:01 +0000

Sometimes people should take a good look at themselves in a mirror. Ask themselves, WTF am I thinking, or am I thinking. Things are bad for many people these days, and don’t seem to be getting any better. I know many people who just don’t pay attention to current affairs or events. They ignore things, because they don’t want to believe ‘em. They believe if they don’t think about ‘em, they’ll go away. It’s like when shit is happening in their front yard, they only look at the back yard. I don’t understand that. We are fast approaching a fork in the road; you can either go right or left, so to say, but you must decide in which direction you will go. What will be best for you and yours? Hell if I can answer that, but I do know if you stand at the turns and do nothing, you’re done. Just a thought.

Anyway, here’s a pimped out mirror the Juju Woman made. The dog in the reflection is Stretch’s buddy Lionel, a Wheaten Terrier. Good dog he is. You ought to see ‘em when they get together. Just plain damn too funny.

The Juju Woman doesn’t pimp everything out…no she doesn’t, but I told her she should add some fur to some of ‘em. She threatened to cut me.

Pizza…Too Much Dough

Yabu — Thu, 19 Jan 2012 15:08:36 +0000

Yesterday, I was so pissed about the bills in the House and Senate that challenge, in my opinion, the basic premise of Freedom of Speech. The government wants to control the people like the Borg. Eventually, they want to assimilate you. They’re taking baby steps now, but wait and see what happens if they’re successful. I’ve been aware of these bills for a while, but when major web sites go “dark” in protest…well, all I can say is to pay attention to what that government intends to be the end result. Think ahead. They’re testing the waters, so to say.

So, last night I created a new pizza with a different dough recipe. I call it the Too Much Government Pizza. I had to name it something, and it felt like a good idea at the time. I still think it was a good idea, and it was good…especially for new dough. I like new dough. If you don’t know, dough is a bitch to get right, especially on the first time. Three cheeses, bacon, onion, artichokes, poblano peppers, some herbs out of our garden, and some tomato sauce I put up last summer, and fresh garlic. The Juju Woman gave it an eight…not bad for a first shot, and she doesn’t like too much dough. Also, had a nice bottle of red table wine to take the edge off.

BEFORE

AFTER

The dinosaurs signify mother and daughter, or mother and son, or father and daughter, or father and son. It it is what it is.

Damn good pizza is all I can say.

Ineptocracy

Yabu — Sun, 15 Jan 2012 18:39:35 +0000

From the mail bag…I love this word.

Ineptocracy (in-ep-toc’-ra-cy) – a system of government where the least capable to lead are elected by the least capable of producing, and where the members of society least likely to sustain themselves or succeed, are rewarded with goods and services paid for by the confiscated wealth of a diminishing number of producers.

That just about nails it.

Early To Rise

Yabu — Sat, 14 Jan 2012 14:48:05 +0000

Today is the six month anniversary “of when” the Juju Woman started to swim and run every morning at 5:30 am. Things have changed. I’m up everyday, and I do mean everyday, at 5:00 am. Stretch is up at 5:00 am. His cycle has adjusted. He is “barking-ass hungry” at five. I should rename him to “Slinker”. He now expects to be fed at that time. He is relentless. If you don’t get up…he will give you the Atomic Head Slam…no way anyone could sleep through that. He has perfected the “wake up call”. No alarm clocks needed around here. I’m thinking of getting him a job at a hotel.

As a result of the Juju Women’s new project…she is toned..I see the dawn and the sunrise every day. I go to bed earlier. The dog goes to bed earlier. This “spring ahead fall back” shit doesn’t matter. Stretch operates on a 24 hour clock regardless of the time zone biannual adjustments. He was born in DST…I think that has something to do with it…just a guess. I am losing sleep over it, yes I am. If I wanted to sleep in, I’d have to board his ass.

Here he is giving me another “look”. He has many. I call this the “bar-code look” , because you could scan the hair on the top of his head. That inquisitive look.

Anyway, I’ve seen every dawn for the last six months, which is not a bad thing…I guess.
