Ever See a Copper Dime?

2009-01-03T12:14:00.000-08:00

My eight year old daughter Rosie was sorting through her change and said to me, "Have you ever seen a copper dime?" I nearly shit when I saw it. It's a 2005D Roosevelt dime WITHOUT IT'S ZINC COATING! Wow. I would appreciate professional numismatic opinions on this mistake.

Surreal Trip to Wal Mart

2008-09-22T08:40:00.000-07:00

So there I was ...In Wal Mart with my daughter.

It was in the paper aisle that I started to notice there was an unofficial Sarah Palin look alike contest going on. Unofficial because there weren't any signs posted.

I spotted a Mother-Daughter-Daughter team. I asked Mom if she and her teenaged daughters were doing the Palin look on purpose. The up-do, the glasses, the red shade of lipstick past the corners of the mouth? She said, "yes".

I asked if I could take a picture that would post on the web.

Mom declined. But my interest was pegged. By the time I left, I spotted six more of various ages roaming around the store.

I was reminded of the Diana look that even my wife imitated way back when.

When women start changing their hair style, they're serious.

Makes me wonder how many Sarahs we'll see trick or treating.

WaMu Tries to Sell Itself.

2008-09-17T13:58:00.000-07:00

Literally. Washington Mutual put itself up for auction today in an attempt to avoid being the next bank failure.

I tried to balance my checking account at WaMu last Saturday and this is what happened.

1. I called the Customer Service Center and there was no option to talk to a real person.

2. The folks at my local branch did not know how to get and operator on the line. "Press 0####, no wait, maybe it's 0#0#0#0#."

3. When I got a hold of a "Customer Service Specialist" (I still do not know how that happened), they could not answer any question I posed. They were polite though.

4. Wamu could not tell me how much I had in my checking account. They offered the following choices:

a. -73.25 from their website.
b. 46.10 from the phone service.
c. -32.46 also from the website. It changed from -73.25 with absolutely no activity.
d. Still -32.46 after depositing $120.
e. 84.96 from the screen that the Customer Service Rep was using.

5. My ATM card still does not work and they're not sure why.

Gur agrees,,,Wamu sucks.

2008 Olympics

2008-08-22T10:18:00.000-07:00

Yeah. I know. I know. I should've been bloggong but I've been way busy watching the Beijing Olympics. It's nice to see the Chinese put aside executing dissidents and host the World.

I've been busy watching women's beach volley ball. Jesus! These chicks are hot!

But then there's;
Women's Swimming
Women's Diving. Don't skip the shower scenes.
Women's Track.
Women's Gymnastics. In that traditionally creepy pedo kinda a way.

Q: Did you seen that really bad fall the Chinese Women gymnast took?
A: Yeah. She fell so hard it knocked some of her baby teeth out.

On the serious side. Hungarian weightlifter Janos Baranyai really fucked up his lift. His left arm dislocates and then he drops the weight on his back. Fortunately, the helpful, freiendly, ever so thoughtful Chinese have some boys and firls run out and shield you from Janos writhing in agony.

See? Nothing bad ever happens in China.

Here's the full video if the accident.

2008-07-01T08:28:00.000-07:00

This is no joke!!! The little fuckers at windows-privacy-protection.com are sending out a vicious little malware disguised as a spyware pop detector that looks like a microsoft windows product.

"Click here to update Windows Security". Yeah right. I fell for it.

It hijacks your browser. Kills your task manager and reroutes it to a site that offers to sell you software that....you guessed it. Removes malware and spyware.

The good news is you can still use your computer and have access to the internet. The really bad news is that NOBODY at this time has a way of removing this piece of shit. Restoring your computer doesn't do jack shit.

At this time, the best we can do is warn everyone you know. Knock off the cutesy emails and pass this warning on to everyone you know.

This is serious.

This is true.

This is no joke.

I am The Hermit

Prudence, Caution, Deliberation.

The Hermit points to all things hidden, such as knowledge and inspiration,hidden enemies. The illumination is from within, and retirement from participation in current events.

The Hermit is a card of introspection, analysis and, well, virginity. You do not desire to socialize; the card indicates, instead, a desire for peace and solitude. You prefer to take the time to think, organize, ruminate, take stock. There may be feelings of frustration and discontent but these feelings eventually lead to enlightenment, illumination, clarity.

The Hermit represents a wise, inspirational person, friend, teacher, therapist. This a person who can shine a light on things that were previously mysterious and confusing.

Isrealis Bombed Syrian Reactor

2008-04-24T23:54:00.000-07:00

No Shit? Really? Guess who reported this back when it happened?
Maddog Speaks: WTF? Syrian WMD's?

The Bush administration charged Thursday that a secret Syrian nuclear reactor was within weeks or months of completion before Israel bombed it on Sept. 6 and demanded that North Korea and Syria publicly acknowledge their collusion on a facility that could have produced plutonium for a nuclear weapon.

Back in September, everything was on the QT. In October, the Syrians used a controlled demolition to clear the site. In doing so, they exposed reactor components to U.S. spy satellites. Whoops.

The Bush administration didn't go public at the time at the request of the Israelis who feared a counterstrike. The U.S. State Department then used this fact successfully to compel the Koreans to abandon their nuclear program.

Hurray for our side!

President Bush has received criticism from Congress who side with the Syrians.

Rep. Silvestre Reyes (D-Tex.), chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, charged Thursday that the administration had improperly imposed a "veil of secrecy" around intelligence it was required to share with the oversight committees.

In a statement, the Syrian Embassy in Washington denounced the U.S. claims as "false allegations" designed to "misguide" Congress and international public opinion and produce support for Israel's surprise air strike in September, "which the U.S. administration may have helped execute."

If you don't like the election results, take it to the courts. It worked for Lenin, it worked for Hitler. Here the Dems are at it again. Failing the attempt, how long will it be until they take it to the streets and resort to violence?

Democrats sue McCain.

Sniper Advice

2008-04-12T22:08:00.000-07:00

As we plod through our dreary lives, we inevitably are throw into awkward situations where we find ourselves needing to gracefully extract ourselves. Please consider these tried and true tactics:

When you're late for work.
Say: "I was dodging Sniper fire."

If someone notices the Band-Aid you're wearing.
Say: "The Sniper almost got me."

Your Mother-in-Law knocks on your door.
Do: Scream "SNIPER!" and slam the door.

You call in Sick.
Say: "A Sniper got me".

When you're bored at an office meeting.
Yell: "SNIPER!!!!"

When you're pulled over by the police.
Say: "I was dodging Sniper fire."

During periods of Erectile Dysfunction.
Yell: "SNIPER!!!"

When you find yourself embarrassing your wife in public.
Say: :"She was dodging Sniper fire."

When you are caught lying.
Say: "I only thought I was dodging Sniper fire".

When you burn dinner.
Say: "It was the Sniper fire".

When you're trying to impress someone.
Say: "I was a Sniper in Bosnia."

When someone notices that nasty scar you have.
Say: "A Bosnian Sniper did that to me."

When you fart.
Yell: "SNIPER!!!!"

No doubt you have other examples. Please add them in a comment.
