I Need A Stiff Drink
Ugg Boot
This has been one of those weeks when you just wanted to mail yourself a mail bomb and act surprised that someone thought enough of you to send you a package. I'm so glad it's friday. I'm in a FTW kind of mood which I hate but it always seems I get more accomplished like that.
Here's just one of the many reasons for my FTW mood. I got my gas bill in a few days ago. I thought hmm another gas bill. I stupidly thought it would be about the same as every month before. When I opened it the bill was over 4 times that amount. I called the gas company. They sounded as surprised as I was. Big shock there. They said they'd rush someone over to read my meter again. So the meter reader has to call and get directions to my house. Wait a minute, don't you read my meter every month? Find it yourself, punk. As it turns out, the meter was correct and the jackass(es) that read it for the past few months were smoking crack and misread it. It's okay though. They gave me 5 whole days to come up with the money. So I've decided to put a piece of wood over my meter where it will have to be removed to read the meter. That way, I'll know when they read it and can check it myself. FU gas company.
In The News:
Eddie Van Halen says he'll enter Rehab......
Prison threat for man who put sand -- back on beach... You should read this one. I thank God daily that I'm not in the position to judge what people can do. What a waste of time and more importantly, thought.
Courtney Love blah blah blah blah...Nobody cares.
DISCOVERY Buries 'Lost Tomb' of Christ... So much for a free country.
946 Billionaires On Earth... And I'm not on the list yet.
The ethical dilemmas of robotics... As these robots become more intelligent, it will become harder to decide who is responsible if they injure someone. Is the designer to blame, or the user, or the robot itself? The programmer!!!!!
Salma Hayek is Gorgeous. I mean, uh, Salma Hayek is engaged, and...........................pregnant!!!! She called this morning to let me know that the baby was not, in fact, mine after all. Whew!!!
Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich was having an extramarital affair even as he led the charge against President Clinton over the Monica Lewinsky affair, he acknowledged in an interview with a conservative Christian group. It all comes back around doesn't it. You've earned it Newt. Isn't a newt a salamander?
German man chainsaws in two in divorce split. Good for you Mr. man. You're my new hero of the day.
