Movie Day

Thursday, June 14th, 2007

      declared yesterday to be Movie Day. There were a couple of movies out that I wanted to see in the theater, that Art wasn’t particularly interested in. So, since he had to work yesterday, and I didn’t, I decided I’d hit the local movie theater and play catch-up.
     I went to see Shrek the Third [...]

Wednesday Riddles

Wednesday, June 13th, 2007

     ey, we found some WMD! — The good news is we’ve found plenty of WMD. The bad news is the weapons are ours and we found them dumped in the sea.
     Pharyngula writes about quackery in our university-run hospitals. Look, people. I’m already jaded, cynical, and hate the human race because of our abject stupidity and [...]

Tall Tale Tuesday: Truth, Justice, and the American Way

Tuesday, June 12th, 2007

     ne of the things about America is that it comes with a lot of mythology. We have our cultural emblems — Mom, Chevy, and apple pie — Old Glory, cowboys, the Old West . . . these are the things that our Tall Tale heroes are built out of, and part of the reason why [...]

Punday Night: A Trip to the Dentist

Monday, June 11th, 2007

     hil woke up one morning with a toothache, so he had his wife make an appointment for him at the dentist’s office. She told him, “I’ve made the appointment for you at 11am, but remember to get ready early, so you can get your teeth brushed and flossed, and be there to fill out paperwork [...]

A Toast (8)

Saturday, June 9th, 2007

     t’s been a slow week for the toast. Although, I would like to send out a special toast to those idjits at the Restaurant on Wednesday who don’t know what a condom looks like.

To Paris Hilton, for continuing to clog up my news page. The last time I checked, we were at war, [...]

Outrages

Friday, June 8th, 2007

     while back, there was a court case involving a substitute teacher. She was showing her class room something on the room’s computer, and the screen was suddenly filled with porn pop-ups. We’re all pretty familiar with that phenomenon. Hell, I have my computer locked down tighter than Fort Knox, and I don’t visit porno sites, [...]

Friday YouTubes

Friday, June 8th, 2007

     ne of the coolest things to be coughed out of the Internet in the last couple of years is, in my opinion, YouTube. Granted, you have to wade through a whole lotta crap to find the good stuff, but there is a sizable amount of good stuff. (Here thar be YouTube Videos! For you LJ [...]

Graduation Night

Thursday, June 7th, 2007

     ast night, I was working at the Restaurant, and it so happens that the two local high schools were graduating. This is a big deal for us, as they’re both large schools, and they have a joint graduation. When graduation lets out, the Restaurant (and every other restaurant in town) is flooded with families seeking [...]

Late Night Hodge-Podge

Tuesday, June 5th, 2007

     s if we don’t have enough on our plates, Bush goes and fires up another Cold War for us. Well — I don’t know if all the blame can be laid at Bush’s feet for this one. Putin seems just a bit on the dickish side himself, so I’m sure he’s not helping any. Be [...]

Punday Night: Two Kingdoms

Monday, June 4th, 2007

      while back, there were two kingdoms situated close by each other. One kingdom had a powerful king, and the other had a relatively weak king. The difference (or so everybody said) was that the powerful king had a magic throne, which had the property of making people powerful.
     Well, the weak king wanted this throne, [...]
