Living in Europe

2010-07-27T22:52:00.000-07:00

You know, In Europe, it’s the little things you miss. Like water in the toilet. In Germany you get a “shelf” instead. After dropping a poop on the shelf you (um…they…the Germans, I mean) turn around and inspect the poop for healthy condition. After passing muster it’s flushed away with a gushing flood/stream of water.

Re-Engaging

2010-07-26T00:47:00.000-07:00

Okay Loyal Readers, I'm back. I suspended the Blog until I could figure out where I wanted to go with the Lucky Puppy. This is a temporary format while I decide that Wordpress and Thesis is a rip off or not. "Not" meaning if I can bend it to my will and allow me to publish my vision of the site.

No this isn't it but we'll plod on.

Until things get better, get off your ass and leave some comments so there can be some interaction and let me appear to be far less ego centric.

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.

windows-privacy-protection SCAM

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.
