And a happy end to the week-end

I hope I won't shock anyone with this NSFW pumpkin



It's not like it's a completely full page nekkid pumpkin, or anything like that.



It's just that some people just can't see the humor in anthrophomorphic pumpkin behaviour.



Clickum for pumpkin pr()n.



IF you really want to...



He IS a *happy* pumpkin flasher.

That certainly was eye catching...

I dropped off Thing-1 at work in Castroville and headed out to Hondo for the weekly grorcery shopping.
On the way I passed an oversize load and his escort on the opposit side of the HWY. I saw the amber and White flashing lights far enough ahead, but what caught my eye was the escorts color scheme- or rather lack of color. It would have caught any drivers eye even if they didn't have their lights on.

Funny how a black and white F-150 and his buddy the black and white Crown Vic will do that.

Git OFF my lawn!

The more I use VISTA the less I like it

Aside from having the Liberal nannyism EVERY TIME I try to open, close or download frigging anything---ask "Do you really want to do that"....Dave?

Yes HAL, I *really* want to download the updates the Microsquish is offering me!

NOW, all you IT and AIT, and computer geeks techsperts tell me why:

• I just started getting an error message that saysTHIS PROGRAM CANNOT DISPLAY THE WEBPAGE.....when I never went to a site that I couldn't get to
  

• HOW do I get rid of it without comletely shutting the computer down...only to have it majically reappear! It won't even tell me WHERE it tried to go.
• WHY it refuses to restore to Thursday (when I first noticed it)
• Does anyone want to buy an almost brand new HP Compaq for $350 (used about two weeks) or trade for a Mac?

I finally forund the sekrit to getting the hard-drive out of the old HP, so I can go back to XP and A LOT LESS nannyism and the way Bill Gates decided that I was too idiotic to use some of the basic functions that are INACESSABLE IN VISTA....because we don't really NEED to know any more than *they* want us to.

They won't even let me uninstall IE7 and reinstall IE6.


UPDATE --
Am I remebering things wrong, or did Win XP go from ,,,like $90 for the home edition to almost $200 when that abortion VISTA came out? I *know* they want more for XP now than they did before everyone got served with it wether they wanted it-or not.

It's not news, it's CNN

Yeah, I stole that from Fark.

Because Halloween is near and I'm all about helping, here's a piece on what to do if your house is haunted.

Which gives me a good lead in to these two vids on the Haunted Lesbian sorority.


And the girls find a Ouiji board:


UPDATE - 11PM
Karen walked away in disgust...You decide what that means.
But I'm a guy, so I think differently.

the Anti-Dixi Chicks?

Except they're not girls.

But after reading about Big and Rich, I'll even think of buying some of their CDs.

You *know* them...


But that's not all they are, try this tribute to our guys in 'Nam:


.....And I learned from this vid, that *all* rap isn't intolerable.

Thanks to Cowboy Troy.
(Who I think was the Drum Major on their first video)

UPDATE-
Not worth another post, but here's some girls and machinegun pr()n.

I have to admit that I'm surprised

Not that these bridge survivors are trying to gin up sympathy (and lots of money) for themselves.
I'm more surprised that that 9-11 payout hasn't been used as a precident more often.

Like anytime more than two people die at the same time, or that they died and the MSM covered it incessantly.

Sure it was bad, not as bad as 9-11 and I'm sure there are lots of people to sue in the bridge failure. It's not like their insurance became null and void as soon as some islamic nutjobs took control of three jets.


I was against the 9-11 payout because I saw it being used as a precident for all kinds of 'free' money to make the survivors feel better.
I was also against it for just the sake of basic fairness to everyone else who died or was sevierly injured on 9-11 that didn't get jack because they weren't in a certain location.

Ok next pumpkin

Anyone who reads SCI-FI knows about the "Bug-eyed-Monster".

It's sometimes shortened to B.E.M.
Now we have the B.E.P.


For some reason, I think he got into the photon juice befor the picture was taken....

I just want to let my Sen. Kay bailey-Hutchinson know that I am pissed off

She decided to vote FOR the latest Amnesty bill floating it's way throught the government system.

I already let her know that I'll no longer be willing to pay her salery. No matter where she decides to try for next. Yeah Kay, we don't want an amnesty supporter for Governer either!

Any of my Texas readers can let her know how you feel by sending her an e-mail.

And in all those bot-letters I got back from her telling me she'd *never* vote to reward lawbreaking. I wonder who offered her what for that vote?

Sometimes you're the windshield

Other times you're the bug.

It seems like this entire week I've been the bug........on the Interstate.
I re-tore that (ligament? Tendon?) problem the MRI couldn't find on my shoulder, and everything they gave me so far has taken longer and been more FUBARed than it should have been for the job.
I was thinking of working Sat. but I'll blow it off this week.


------------------------------------------------------------------

Now guys, I know you'll probably have some Halloween week-end parties to go to, so out of the goodness of my heart I'll give you a quick costume idea.





....AND you can show how much you care about womens issues (yeah, ok, but play along)




With this costume you can also advancwe their preventive health by reminding them about screenings.








Or you could just be your perverted self...

I'd like some Chianti and Fava beans, please

And that's it's real color, some kind of resseive gene in Atlantic Giant pumpkins.

It's U.N. Day today kiddies

Sorry, I just noticed it on the calander.
I didn't notice if Yahoo or Google had any special GIFs to commemorate it.
What would it be?
People with bloated bellies falling over with flies buzzing aropund?
People kneeling in front of mass gaves whil the big, shiny UN SUVs are at the motel?

Better yet, to reinforce how we could spend money better.....





You notice how it matches the UN helmets so well?





I looked for that color.

How about this take on the Cali fires

I've read enough comparisons between this FIRE (which didn't give a weeks notice) and N'awlins (where the leadership was partying in Baton Rouge instead of evacuating)- and the color difference.
And the fact that they're 'rich'.

Both disasters were either brought on or made worse by Democrat/Liberal/Greenie politics.

The big difference is that those rich people who lost their property know LAWYERS.

Home today

I've felt like chit for the last two days, and now I'll either go in late or not at all.

Everyone else is gone, so I can have some 'me' time and see about doing things around the house.
Finding out what's wrong with the heater would be a good start. Hopefully it's just a bad thermostat.

Too bad I'll either have to eat today's pay or make it up on Sat.

UPDATE, STICKY POST-

I guess I'll just add to this one as I find things to babble about.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm really surprised at how low the hit count was for this search.
I thought that there would be that many just in the D.U. alone. (warning for those who've never been there, be sure to have something ready to scrub out your hard drive when you leave)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ohhh, look who'se back in the states!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
10:20AM

Gawd, what an expensive day. $120 to the Vet for doggie related anti-flea armaments and $25 to the hardware store for a thermostat and weatherstripping.

I got the heat working and as a bonus, our smoke alarm is pretty sensetive.
We'd always had trouble with our programmable thermostat (on the heat side) and just as I was ready to pull it off the wall, I noticed some of the contacts the face pins were supposed to hit were low. So we now have a spare thermostat, and a blower that works at 100% (because I fixed a loose connection) and you can tell the difference, too.

I'll be stay home today and be around $250 short (because of payloss and buying cr@p)
because it wouldn't be worth the hour drive to try making it up.

I reaaly have to admit that when I saw this headline...

Katrina missteps still haunting Bush

That my first thought was: "It didn't do much good for Blanco, either."

And naturally, the AP writer Jennifer Loven makes sure you know what to think while reading her hit piece article about Federal emergency response.

he White House reacted with what has become a familiar pattern: Bush dropped a few lines of sympathy and promised assistance into an already scheduled speech. Across the administration, aides volunteered as many facts and figures as possible about the federal contribution to the disaster response, a federal emergency to speed relief funding was declared in the middle of the night, and a presidential visit to the affected area was quickly arranged.

The White House's handling of Katrina in the days before it hit the U.S. Gulf Coast in late August 2005 seemed set to follow this model. Bush and his aides issued repeated warnings to worried locals, conferred with officials in the region and promised Washington would do all it could to help.

But once the massive storm blew ashore, smashing Mississippi's coastal communities to sticks and submerging New Orleans in water, the federal response turned dismal.

Locals were left wanting for urgently needed supplies. Bush seemed disengaged from the crisis and then stumbled through initial appearances in the disaster zone aimed at correcting the impression. And some locals feel the White House's level of engagement in the Gulf Coast's continuing misery hasn't improved much in two years.

Katrina was a departure from Bush's handling of previous disasters.

No lady, FEMA handled Katrina like all the other previous disasters. There problem was that they relied on corrupt political hacks to do what competent leaders did in all the other states.

Ok, it's not a pumpkin

But I bet it would look pretty good on your front sidewalk next Wednesday.




UPDATE-- (NSFW pics)
In related ...ummmm...'big' news....
No wonder Ashton Kutcher is hanging with someone 20 years his senior.

man, lookat those num-nums.

A farmer named Clyde

A farmer named Clyde had a car accident. In court, the trucking
company's fancy lawyer was questioning Clyde. Didn't you say, at the
scene of the accident, 'I'm fine,' asked the lawyer? Clyde responded,
"Well, I'll tell you what happened. I had just loaded my favorite mule,
Bessie, into the..." "I didn't ask for any details," the lawyer
interrupted. "Just answer the question. Did you not say, at the scene of
the accident, 'I'm fine!"? Clyde said, "Well, I had just got Bessie into
the trailer and I was driving down the road...." The lawyer interrupted
again and said, "Judge, I am trying to establish the fact that, at the
scene of the accident, this man told the Highway Patrolman on the scene
that he was just fine. Now several weeks after the accident he is trying
to sue my client. I believe he is a fraud. Please tell him to simply
answer the question, yes or no.

" By this time, the Judge was fairly
interested in Clyde's answer and said to the lawyer, "I'd like to hear
what he has to say about his favorite mule, Bessie." Clyde thanked the
Judge and proceeded, "Well like I was saying, I had just loaded Bessie,
my favorite mule, into the trailer and was driving her down the highway
when this huge semi-truck and trailer ran the stop sign and smacked my
truck right in the side. I was thrown into one ditch and Bessie was
thrown into the other." "I was hurting, real bad and didn't want to
move. However, I could hear ole Bessie moaning and groaning. I knew she
was in terrible shape just by her moans." "Shortly after the accident a
Highway Patrolman came on the scene. He could hear Bessie moaning and
groaning so he went over to her. After he looked at her, he took out his
gun and shot her between the eyes. Then the Patrolman came across the
road, gun in hand, looked at me, and said "How are you feeling?" "Now
what the hell would you say?"

And all along, I thought they were Brits...

But they come from the OZ.

Your daily Halloween lead-up

I don't *need* to say anything more, do I?
Oh....that reminds me- Saxet Gun show this week-end at the Colosseum (on E. Houston).

I work by myself

I don't mind, but it gives time to think when I'm not driving.

I was out cutting a 300' trench for some cable and started thinking about the 'Fiddler on the roof' vid I put up yesterday, and how my favorite New Yawk Jooo liked it.

Well my mind kinda wanderd onto Jody calls, and then I wondered about the IDF.

Do they call their cadences Jooody calls?

This extereme pumpkin is *REALLY* scary

Yep.

It's the JACKO- lantern!

Another reason for Libs the little people to vote for Hillary

In light of the 'Dumping Sox' story, I'm reminded of something else that happend around that time.

Hillary for President!...she needs to restock her dinnerware!

For your religious entertainment

UPDATE---
I don't know it I ougtta let a certain Brooklyn Joooooess know that while I was watching that movie, I was slow roasting some country style BBQ pork ribs,,,should I?
Might ruin the whole Kumbia thing, ya know,,,,

Oooops, sorry

I forgot your daily extreme pumpkin last night.
So to make up for it, I'll give you a cosume idea.

A Bender costume.

And "A Christmas story" with a Halloween theme...

"You'll shoot your eye out, kid."

Surprisingly enough

This didn't happen in Bhaahaastin.

FLORENCE -- When she dropped the package off yesterday morning at Florence Township High School, the woman explained to school officials that her son needed the white pellets it contained for his science project.

All was fine until she mentioned that her son had urged her to be careful because the pellets could explode if dropped. Police said that prompted school officials to immediately lock down the school and call out township police, area hazardous materials teams, and the state police's bomb squad.

While the pellets were eventually determined to be harmless, the woman's son -- a 16-year-old whose name authorities are withholding because he is a juvenile -- was arrested and charged with causing false public alarm, disorderly conduct, and causing or risking widespread injury or damage, police said.

Gawd, nobody can take a joke anymore.

Know what this is?

It's my DRIVING WHEEL.
Go ahead, you know you want to.
Click it,,,and be sure your speakers are up.

or would you want to take a slow ride on this?


Yeah, I got my speakers working, why do you ask?

Doncha just hate it when

You start an omlett and the oil isn't hot enough, and the eggs soak up the oil?

Ham and cheese.
Lots of ham.


My weekly egg quota.


...And the eggs are soggy even though you turned up the heat?


Hmmmmmm....


.


.


Ok, it's not bad enough to call in the puppies.



UPDATE

I still haven't got a new pic of me to send to the tribe, so...
Should I send in this one of me loading Karens .22:


or wait until I can get one with the 30-06?

And actually see what I look like now?

Something special for Halloween

Brought to you from Alan.

So, can anyone tell me WHY anyone is wasting any thing worthwhile in Somalia?

Now, the Government is attacking UN food distribution efforts.
Because the wrong people are getting fed.

I know I shouldn't judge all people by the actions of everyone I hear about the vast majority a few bad apples, but nothing I hear has anything positive in it.
We went in to try to make sure food got to where it was supposed to go...the poor and the children. We were attacked incessantly untill Clinton pulled us out.
Their Islamic refugees are trying to enforce their cult on everyone they can here in America with theier cabbies refusing rides and their checkout clerks refusing service.

I bet you can't come up with ONE thing any Somali has done to enhance anything in a positive way. I wouldn't mind kicking every one I meet right in the nards...except I'd get thrown in jail for it.

So, we've got a mini-blogmeet in Lockhart

Kreuz meatmarket, to be exact.
I was going to go with the usual blogmeet type puking pumpkin for todays extreme pumpkin, BUT this is seriosly good eats.

So the puking pumpkin will have to wait while you marvell at the newest extreme pumpkin....
the radioactive pumpkin.
