Kos Insanity

OK, so I see on Digg a link to a DailyKos story about a CIA torture jet which crashed with 4 TONS of cocaine onboard.

(Warning, if you follow the link be prepared for bad language. I am only posting this to show you can't believe everything you read and you need to think for yourself.)

Needless to say they are shocked and cannot figure out why the mainstream press isn't reporting the report from the Mexican authorities. My first response would be that they took a look at how it started out with a 6 tons of cocaine, then it was 4 tons, then it was 3.7 tons, then it was 3.6 tons and finally they hit 3.3 tons (or 6,600 pounds of cocaine).

That, my friends is a LOT of blow. I am genuinely concerned that

1.) Our government would allow the CIA to use federal property to move illegal drugs,
2.) That the CIA would be dumb enough to not put enough fuel into the jet to reach it's destination (causing it to crash, and finally
3.) That the CIA would load 1,144 pounds of cargo over the maximum payload limit of a Gulfstream II jet (reference Wikipedia which I know is not a know all end all source, but a Gulfstream II isn't a real large jet, and 5,456 pounds sounds pretty fair to me, but do your own research, that's my point).

I guess my point is, how many people are out there screaming and yelling about the things they read on the internet and never take five minutes to use the resources available to research things for themselves.

Goofball In Action

OK, so this morning I am taking two of my boys to school (Chris 11 and Ben 9) when Chris pipes out in a British accent:

"Is there anything I can do to make you more comfortable as the cement sets around your feet?"

...

Needless to say, my kid throwing out mafia pleasantries was odd. It was especially odd to find the Mob wants you to be comfy before you get WHACKED!

Who knew?

What Was She Thinking?

What do cats think as you are stepping over them as you come down the stairs?

"Oh my goodness! He is going to step on me! Let me escape by RUNNING UNDER HIS FEET!!!"

Fortunately Nancy survived, although PETA may be after me because I saved her life by booting her out of the "Danger Zone."

Sometimes I wonder why I didn't grow up to be a recluse.

Time For A Flat Tire

Just investigated the noises coming from outside and noticed our neighbor is tearing down his carport.

They are throwing all the old scraps onto a trailer which was probably backed across my driveway and through my yard to get to his carport.

The carport by the alley we have to drive down to get to the main road.

OK, so in the comments, leave a guess on the first flat tire and I'll work up some amazing prize to mail out to the winner. (If no one participates, I will be forced to club a baby seal... or something like that.)

The Most Unused Page at Microsoft!

Thank you Digg for the Giggle of my morning...

Here it is, "The Most Unused Page at Microsoft."


I feel better now.

Working From Home

Well, I'll be working from home for a couple of days this week. My wife is watching a friends baby and Lucie is sick, so she is up here with me watching "The Little Mermaid" while I look through paperwork.

But to give you an idea of my day.

I was taking her to go potty this morning when I smacked my left shoulder into the door frame slamming the door into the bathroom wall.

I apologized to Lucie and told her, "Sometimes daddy forgets how big he is."

Lucie replied with wide-eyed childish wonder, "Yeah Daddy, you're HUMONGOUS."

Thanks baby.

I Told You She Was Dangerous!

I got this IM from THE WIFE:

(11:38:47 AM) Jen: Boo scratched lucie's forhead after that, and now she is crying for a bandaid, and I can't even see where it is, and she is also lecturing boo about how that was a bad decision.
(11:38:51 AM) Jen: UGH.
(11:38:54 AM) Jen: Drama

I told you. A DEATHDEALER she is!


Although lecturing a cat about cranial evisceration being a bad idea is WAAAAAAYYYYY too funny.

Excitement

You know its a bad thing when you are helping a guy work on a site that is your responsibility and you do something that makes one of their nodes lose dial tone for several seconds. (At least I assume I did, it happened around the same time).

Oh well, nothing to do but grin and bear it. We didn't do anything that SHOULD have caused a problem, but hey, that is why we have what is known as "Pucker Factor."

For those of you who are not technically minded and need an explanation of "Pucker Factor," just leave a comment with your email address and I will personally email you a definition.

Time to record my 100 word story.

Life In Tornado Alley

OK, so when you live in "Tornado Alley" you have to get used to some things. One example is when the weather is bad we have tornado sirens which go off to warn you when a tornado is on it's way.

The tornado sirens get tested on the first Wednesday of ever month. Well, my illustrious cable company is having network problems so the TV was off and THE WIFE did not have any music going when the test commenced today.

The sirens built in intensity sending my 2 year old Sadie running through the house screaming, "Momma, Momma, it's a TOMOATO!"

The things I miss by having to work for a living.

Unfortunately... I think Justin is going to pay up...
