A slow day at the Daily Mail

Meet the British version of Jonny Rambo.



For someone who was such a fan of Johnny, you'd think he'd at least have something in his resume about doing time in the military, wouldn't you?

But to his cred, he did spend time in the wilds of the U.K. ummmmmm...........moors learning the skillz that will help him survive if he's ever called to duty in S.E. Asia. AND he is some kind of civilian air warden- so he knows how to improvise all kinds of weapons from aircraft parts.






I wonder if he still lives at home....

Early voting

I need to go to town and get the truck inspected.
I may as well do my early voting thing.

Except that the RNC doesn't give me a choice except McCain or not McCain.

I can cross party lines and vote Dem ( I guess I'd be crossing party lines by voting (Rep, too).

Maybe I'll vote for the Hildabeast just to keep it interesting over there?

Guess what inspired this?

I'll update as I slog through my civic obligation.

(UPDATE #1)
After squeezing as many work miles and tool costs, I went from a $21,000 profit fro a six month stint at Mega-cable company to $14,000 and a $1978 tax bill.

(UPDATE #2)
Anybody have an idea at what I'd be looking at for penalties on $1600 of ummm..... unpaid tax estimates? Are we looking at like 10% or closer to, like a 50% penalty on what I already owe?

Stating the obvious

I've seen this on several blogs today:


Of COURSE the momentum continues to build.

When only half of the states decide who the nominee is going to be for the rest of the country that's all it really can be expected to do.

Thanks RNC for making me one of those disenfranchised voters the Dems like to talk about.
Because you took away any choice I- and the other 24 states had in this election.

A house fire is always a tragedy

It's even worse when it's an apartment buiilding with four families living there.

It's even worse when some basic common sense was ignored.

I know how cold it gets up next to the canadian border.
I also know that you don't use a propane torch to unfreeze water lines.
Yes, plunbers use them, BUT they know what they're doing, and it's only long enough to melt a dab of solder...not to turn ice into water.

What I'm wondering though, is the fact that it got cold enough in that heated appartment to freeze the pipes in the first place.
Is he so poor that he has to shut off his heat when he's not there?
is it an uninsulated spot by the eave? If he could get to it with a torch, why not shove insul;ation in there?

Water freezes at 32 degrees, more less if it's moving.

What I'm wondering (in my anal way) is why it froze in the first place. I'd have to do smething about it,,, just because it could happen.

Yeah, the familt loves the way I think sometimes and the girls will be getting a new shower assy' because the hot water drips (and Thing 2 'can't' turn it off all the way) and I can't get the handle off to change the washer.

Race-baitng hate mongers brought to justice

You know the kind who automatically, and publicly make statements condming people on their race and social standing.

Yeah, well they're getting sued by the Duke La Crosse players for their actions.

The school.
The teachers that couldn't wait to let the ink dry on their condemnation.
The cops


If it were me, I'd try going after the press and Al Sharpton, too.

Couln't happen to a more Liberal and 'caring' bunch of haters.

EEEHHHhhhhgggghhhhhhhhh

You may know the we had the dubious honor of having the democrat side of the presidential race here yesterday.
This morning WOAI pulled their noses out of Hils @ss had a Hillaty info update this morning on TV.
After racing to hit hte mute button I noticed that either of my daughters could have made her up better.
And they're both teens, not highly paid camoflage artists.



ztrust me, it lookrd MUCH worse on TV.

I am interested in John McCain's new tax policy

His newest one, where he pledges 'no new taxes' to those who actually think they can do anything about the fact that 50% of America decided who the rest will have to live with.
Ohh,,,sorry!

Let start over....
John McCain, who is in a fight for his political life, due to the fact that 24 states didn't already decide who will be the Republican nominee- has pledged that he'll be a conservative and pledge that he'll support a 'No new taxes" adgenda if he makes it to the whitethouse.
Ok, I'd like top believe that....
Now about that pesky McCain/Lieberman bill that wanted to tax every American fifty cents per gallon of fuel for pie-in-the-sky ideas.
Are we sure that's dead?
What about his pledge to never allow us to use our own resources to produce our own energy,,, because of GLOBAL WARMING?
You know, keeping us tie to Baby Huey and the Islamofacsiest who have us over a(n oil) barrel?

It's a frigging stop SIGN

It's not going to turn green no matter HOW long you make me wait on your dumb @ss.

Here are some clues for you.

1. If you get there first, YOU have the right of way
2. If you're on the drivers right YOU have the right of way.
3. Like I said, it's a stop sign- it WON"T turn green on you.
4. If you (and I behind you) are the only ones near the intersection, a rolling stop will work-even in Selma. You REALLY don't have to come to a full and complete stop until someone gets near the intersection.

Thet's what you get for letting clueless parents gundeck the home Drivers Ed course.
Clueless driver with absolutely no idea about what to do at a four way stop.

Enough said

Eritrea

Eritrea was formerly the northernmost province of Ethiopia and is about the size of Indiana. Much of the country is mountainous.

Total area: 46,842 sq mi (121,320 sq km)

Population (2007 est.): 4,906,585 (growth rate: 2.5%); birth rate: 34.0/1000; infant mortality rate: 45.2/1000; life expectancy: 59.6; density per sq mi: 105

Literacy rate: 59% (2003 est.)

Economic summary: GDP/PPP (2005 est.): $4.471 billion; per capita $1,000.

Ok. Now that you know what kind of world dominating powerhouse it is, I'll be sending you to this ongoing story about their relations with the U.N. Peacekeepers there.

The same U.N. that Barack Obama wants to send $845 Billion string free tax dollars to.

Welcome back to the 3rd Nose Art week-end of Feb.

Where we start off with another Nose art video tribute to the B-17.


And more B-17's:

Turn here, Dave

Sorry Hal, but that bridge is too low.

TURN Dave!

I can't get under the bridge Hal.

Dave, if you don't turn this truck- I will.


Ok, I don't really know if it happened that way or not, but I'm reading of more and more stories like this one, where people follow a comuterised voice with no forethought.
Ok, to give the driver some slack, I didn't see a height warning on the bridge pictured. But the stories about people turning into rivers and onto railroad tracks is growing.

You'd think that some of these SatNav companies would send people out to survey their directions once in a while, just to try to protect themselves from lawsuits.
I mean GOOGLE, that basion of Liberalism can go against the Goracle to aimlessly waste precious fuel wander around major cities and take pictures for their enhanced mapping system- you'd think that SatNav companies could get their own drones to see if their directions are right.

Just to fend off potential lawsuits from municipalities for damages caused.

But, then again, I guess the rest of the world doesn't have as many trial lawyers wanting a huge piece of the pie and actuaslly holds individuals responsible for their actions.

Ask and you shall receive- Rhianna

Ok, we all know what kind of President we'll have next year

We can't do anything about it.

What we CAN do is work to get consrevative replacements voted in to replace the ones (mostly Reps) that are bailing for various reasons. The most common unmentioned one being their ducking the results of their actions.

The only way to not stop, but even just hold what we have is to get non-libs,,,conservatives of either party elected to both houses.

I wish some big time bloggers or radio hosts would start talking this up and regulate these lightweight presidential pretenders to the back burner, where they belong; in order to jack up interest in Congress.....CHANGE in Congress.

Nothing good ever happens at 3 AM

I've tried telling the 19-yr old that, but her vast experience tells her how wrong I am.
When that bad thing happens, I hope it won't be real bad, like a rape, or mugging, getting drugged...carjacked,,,, whatever those paragons of virtue she hangs out with when the productive people are home in bed. She'll get very little sympathy from me. I know I'll have some kind of "I told you so" moment.
AND since all El Presidente Boosh's people are coming here from states that actually DISCOURAGE illegals(OK and AZ), there'll be even more chance that something bad will happen.

OR maybe it'll be something she does, like watching an illegal drag race at 3:40AM and standing in the middle of an active highway.
My guess is that alcohal was involved- at least, and not by the driver that ran into the fools -in the highway- at 3:40 AM.

I don't care who you are

Thart is sexy!



A healthy young woman in love with life, and it shows.



Not to mention that she knows how to drive very, very fast.

House Dems- showing their support for security

The latest extention of the FISA bill expires tomorrow.

Sanfran Nan and her Libs have decided that they're safe playing politics with Americas safety because any attacks will be Bush's fault- even though they're the ones who refused to vote on a terrorist tracking upgrade.

They want the Bush administration to jump through hoops to try tracking a quick phone call by known terrorists because they're 'concerned' about privacy protections.

Right, if they really were "concerned" about breaches of privacy- maybe they ought to do something about GOOGLE'S automatic keyword scan of EVERYTHING that they touch.
But that's ok, it's not the evil BusHitler throwing everyone that dares breath wrong into their sekit gulags.....somewhere. The only sekrit that the Bush administration has been able to keep.

It took 24 hours but

I finally got enough actually *done* to have put in a good day.

See if there's a hiccough in the normal chain of events in this company, logic and reason go out the window and changes are made in *the Plan* without all the main players being clued in.

Like me, my current job foreman, and the parts guy who was supposed to have gotten word to clean some box vans (that I was supposed to move Tues). In the process of driving from one side of San Antonio to the other, the *plan* got changed from:
Kurt will drop the goose neck so Robert can load it with the exess conduit- while Kurt is moving the dry vans to the J.C. Pennies jobsite and bring the gooseneck back to the office.

to:
Kurt gets to Brandies (at 9 AM)and drops the gooseneck and finds three flats on one side of the trailer that "almost" ready to go (except that it still needs to be emptied out), and Robert is busy with his main supply job for the ,,,jobsite. AND the other trailer is locked so I can't start unloading. Kurt calls his supervisor at the office and reports the 3 flats and that he can't get to the trailers to hook-up.
Kurt is told to "Wait till I call you back",,and wanders off to help pull home runs for the parking lot lights.
After lunch Kurt and Robert get enough cr@p moved and the gooseneck (remember where it's supposed to go?) loaded with conduit and panel boxes. At 2:30PM, Kurt gets a call from the office that tells him to "Call this number and get a tire guy out there. When you get done moving those trailers, take the goodeneck to get the landing gear fixed."
Kurt: "Ok, What do you want me to do with the conduit and boxes we have loaded now?"
"What??"
Kurt: "The gooseneck that you told me to load with excess matreial to bring back to the shop, do you want me to offload it here or bring it to the shop to offload, or just take it to the trailer place loaded and leave it?"
"We DON'T leave chit on the trailer at a repair yard!"
Kurt: "Ok, offload it here or at the office?"
"I'll get back with you."

Kurt finally gets hooked up to one trailer at 3PM (quitting time is 3:30) and is almost at the next jobsite when the Brandies foreman calls and tells him to just drop that trailer and hightail it back to the Orchard, and we'll start fresh tomorrow.

Extend that over the next two days and you can get some idea of what it's like working for this company.

OHhhh, that first load of conduit?
I spent almost an hour just getting the loose conduit secured in a nice, tight bundle that wouldn't scatter from there to Selma ( about 40 miles) and was told just as I was pulling onto the main road- "Krt, come back- we're going to offload the trailer here. It was lunch time by the time the trailer was unloaded.

Happy Valentines, Hun

Uhhhh-hhummmmm

Ok, so this slut woman of extraordinary stamina, who had anonimous sex from a website, wants to know...........
are you ready for this?






Who the father is.............











For the BABY!

Because she never even gave free money child support a thought.



Ummmmm....did she even think about protection from not just getting knocked-up, but more deadly, some weird kind of STD?

I followed a girl on the way home today

No, Becca- I wasn't stalking her.

Actually the way she was navigating, I was a little afraid to pass her.
See, she was taking up a lane and a half with her meandering car and I knew she wasn't drunk because she was too erratic.

After following her through Castrovill, I got a chance to pass her as she was zagging onto the left rumble strip and saw that she wa texting.

Probably describing to someone what a good driver she was.

Karen is watching "Animal Planet"

Something about rescuing chimpanzees in Africa- somewhere.

The natives were getting the monkees drunk on beer and Thing One asked why anyone would do that?


I just couldn't help it.




Really




And it didn't click on her when I told her:






All guys like drunk Chimps because they're easy!

Sheridan College on "Lockdown!"

Due to quick thinking and rapid response to the "suspicious man in camouflage carrying around a "long, tubular object" " no one on campus got.....photographed to death.

Because the evil, black scary thing turned out to be a TRIPOD!

Talk about your reactionary gun fearing woosies.

Here is a VERY important PSA for you all

Botox, the miracle wrinkle cure has been linked....by a *real* scientific study to possible Botulism poisoning.

It can also, in serious but rare occasions cause a pompous overblown sense of importance.

Thing One was talking to her dog

When I walked past her for a beer.
She kept asking him: "Do you love me?"

I told her that I expected him to say: "Let me sleep on it, I'll give you an answer in the morning"- like Meat loaf. Who she never heard of....


Kids!

Shades Of AMC?

You remember, right American Motors?

I hate to say it but it kind of looks like Mopar is going that rout.

Feb. 9 (Bloomberg) -- Chrysler LLC is talking to other automakers about using the mechanical underpinnings of their models and putting a new exterior on them in an effort by the third-largest U.S. carmaker to cut costs.

~Snip~

Chrysler, which has 3,600 U.S. dealerships, said yesterday that it will trim the number of models and work with dealerships so that all three of its brands -- Dodge, Jeep and Chrysler --are sold under one roof in most cases.

The company is seeking partners to help develop cars that will serve customers that it's missing with its current lineup.

The dealership consolidation, product cuts and partnerships are designed to make the remaining dealerships more profitable.

I'm number five on GOOGLE, baybeee

And number one on Yahoo for "Chelsea Clinton's nipples".


Gawd, I'm soo proud I could just pinch Chelsea Clinton's nipples!









At least I don't have hits looking for adult diapering services,,,,,,Agua.

Misha the First nails it

A big, hearty fuck you to whatever mouth-breathing troglodytes thought up our sequential primary system, from the roughly half of the country who never had a chance to vote.

We’re so very fucking grateful that a bunch of damnyankees and cross-over liberals got to decide our candidate for us.

Time to start putting the “Republic” back in the “Republic of Texas.”

Via Pistolero


And the comments, as usual are pretty good, too

Heh- "How bout we send a message to The Nuge that he’s the top candidate for President of The Republic of Texas? :em95:"
