Which is it?

Would you call this a gift for geek-dom world wide?
Would you make this akin to the Gods blessing us with ambrosia?
Icarus flying too close to the Sun?

Reality:
WOW.
Wonder if this is what Prometheous felt like?
WOW.

Civic Duty

Reality:
Yeah, it might not sit so well with the Mrs., but....this comes via my crush.

Goodbye Attention Whore

That sums it up, doesn't it?




Reality:
Hey, her words, not mine.
BTW....since all she does is yap, anyway, what the hell is she "retiring" from?
Blessing all of us peons with her deep, deep wisdom?
Shut the hell up. Oh, that's right...you finally are.

Some people...

Just like to overthink things and are too self-important to bother seeing the forest.



Reality:
But then again, it is easier to claim a disability when you suffer from Derangement.

Friday Feature

What I think is the funniest of the series:



Reality:
From the man that brought you hilarious action flicks like Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels and one of my personal favs, Snatch.
You may know him as Mr. Madonna: Guy Ritchie.

G'head...Waste Some Time

Guess the Movie Quote

This one I'm sure will be a piece of cake for all you Googlers out there.

[ "This contempt for money is just another trick of the rich to keep the poor without" ]

Reality:
Yeah, I know its a cop out.

You've GOT to be kidding me.

Good God.
I'm just sayin'....wasn't this one of the the plagues of Egypt?

Reality:
Did they really give it a horror movie name??
Did they say billions??!!
Holy shiitake mushrooms, Batman!!

No, there is no end.

RDW has yet another story revolving around the waste surrounding RUSD. To wit, the disgusting brazenness of Supernintendo Hicks to take advantage...FULL advantage of the re-imbursement policy.
A small sample:

[ "Greystone San Diego - $130.14 ($75 for the Mrs)
Commander's Palace - $160.65 ($81.00 for the Mrs)
The Waves - $133.56.
Figs Cucina - San Diego - $100.25
Ray's in the City -
Atlanta - $276.79
Mia Bella Bistro - Lake Geneva - $155.31
The Red Snapper- Atlanta - $196.45
Houlihan's - $62.44
Bentley's - $98.76" ]

What a ridiculous commentary on the privileges that elected official feel they have.
And then to whine and cry that its "for the children." Give it a rest.

Reality:
People that do not realize that this kind of garbage is happening in all aspects of government are kidding themselves. Why do you think one of the things accountants ask you to do to minimize your taxes is to start a "side" business so you can deduct certain costs that you normally wouldn't? The sick thing here is, he is on other people's dimes anyway!
I would also, further have to ask how much crap he also deducts on his taxes as "business expenses."

Idiots

Yeah, so basically the guy that changed.....wait, thats not right...

So basically, the guy that is friggin' responsible for that rock n' roll sound, Les Paul, finally gets a day in his name, where he grew up.
So what does the moron, idiot photo editor at the Urinal-sentinal do?
Publish the only, apparently, picture that was taken at the event....signing a damn drum!

UGH!!!

[Pioneering musician Paul gets welcome fit for a guitar
hero The Wizard of Waukesha has returned to his realm. It's been nearly 20 years since Les Paul performed in the city where he was born and raised and started out in show business as a flame-haired teenager calling himself Red Hot Red. But at last, he's back - and ready to plug in. Tonight, the man who was a pioneer in the
development of the electric guitar will perform at the Marriott Milwaukee West hotel. ]

What an embarrassment ...
Idiots....IDIOTS!!!!!!!!!!!!
The rest.

Reality:
Good thing you got out, Mr. Paul.
And thanks for everything.
Sorry for the morons running our paper.

Guess the Movie Quote

Any other day, this is movie quote is impossible.....

[ "I am the walrus. God is just the middle man." ]

Reality:
But today is no other day.
Its a beautiful day*.

*Bono's birthday, anyway..

No, Really....

I totally love her.



Reality:
Or maybe its a "crush" as Phel says...either way...

So its MORE than that??

How many different ways do you think will be found to f'c this up?
I think this says it all:

[ "Take your thoughts off that gas-guzzling SUV for a moment and
consider this: The average U.S. home causes twice as much greenhouse emissions as a single car." ]

Reality:
To paraphrase one of my favorite movies: Always, there's the money.

***BREAKING NEWS***

This just in.

[ "A backpack exploded in a parking garage attached to a Las Vegas hotel early Monday, killing a man who had picked it up and injuring another person, authorities said. The man had removed the backpack from atop his car when it exploded shortly after 4 a.m. on the second floor of a parking behind the Luxor hotel-casino, said Officer Bill Cassell, a police spokesman.
The second person was taken to an area hospital.
Aerial video showed no apparent damage to the parking structure, where entrances were blocked while police, firefighters and federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives agents investigated. No further information was immediately available." ]

More to follow.

Reality:
I've always said the if terrorists really wanted to be anti-west, they'd go after Vegas.
OOPS!
Methinks this might not end the same way as other stories might.

***UPDATE: Mea Culpa. Just anxious to see what would happen if...

Guess Everyone Has a Price.

Sure, this joke is older than dirt, but it cracks me up every time...


Reality:
Yeah, yeah...oink.
Oink. Oink.

Imagine That!

Le Francais decided to go with the "conservative" cadidate (i.e. the one that doesn't live in total la-la land) rather than the hyper-liberal one.

Crazy.

I love what Michael Binyon has to say about the direction the country was heading and Chirac's legacy.

Reality:

Good to know Phel's on board with this.

***BREAKING NEWS***

Just got off the phone with Mathew and he described an episode last nite at Paradise West on HWY 20 (the bowling alley, not Club Optix).
Lets just say it involved gangs, gunshots and general chaos.

They were dismissed by the police at 4 in the morning. Nothing from the vaunted Racine Journal Times, yet. It will be interesting how they tell the story now that I have an eyewitness account of events.

***Update: Gee, one story finally at 5.oo p.m. I guess no one thought to bring a camera.

Reality:
He describes it as: "The most intense experience of my f***ing life! F***ING CRAZY!!"
If you knew Mathew, you'd fully appreciate the gravity of those words.
Stay tuned.

Movies

Think about this...



Reality:
I'm still waiting for the "Superstretch and Microwoman" movie.

Declare, already!!

H/T First Class Pete.



Reality:
I'm kind of tired having to say "Giuliani" when someone asks me who I'll be voting for. Feels like I'm settleing.
The only thing that worries me (a great deal) is if he splits the vote.

But, apparently, I'm the only one that thinks that.

I say that because it was really hard work getting my lefty girlfried to say the same thing...now imagine how hard it's going to be to get her to vote for Fred instead!

Exposure.

I knew I could count on her!

Reality:
Reason #3,087.
