Xmas story

So xmas eve I was at my sister's house, waiting to go to the grownups xmas party. My 5yo nephew was running around in his undies, and wouldn't get dressed. We were talking about santa, and I told him I wasn't getting anything. When he asked why not, I said I was bad, I had a habit of spanking naked little boys who refused to get dressed. I was trying to convince him to put some clothes on. Fast forward to my stepmom's house. She wanted to talk to me. Apparently little Cayden informed her that I wasn't getting anything for xmas because "He likes to spank naked little boys", totally leaving off the "who won't get dressed" part :)

Luckily I was able to explain...

An all new KITT

I always loved Knight Rider. KITT was just so fucking cool. Now they're coming out with a new Knight Rider made for tv movie. I doubt it'll be David H. playing Michael, though :) Who cares about Michael? All we care about is the new KITT, this time they're dumping the lame Pontiac and going with a Ford Mustang Shelby GT500KR. Most of the commenters hate it, but they're losers. That car kicks ass!!!

Gotta love the Griswalds.

One of these days I'm going to do my house up in lights....

Dad catches kid smoking pot, sells Xmas presents on Ebay

A Canadian man who said he sold his 15-year-old son's prized video game, a Christmas gift, on eBay after catching him smoking marijuana has sparked an online debate on who is wrong--father or son.
Full Story

I say good for him. The kid got caught doing something he wasn't supposed to do. Whether pot should or shouldn't be legal is irrelevant. Sure, it's possible the whole debacle is "publicly humiliating" the son. Good! Most punishment, especially the quick ones, are *supposed* to be humiliating. The pain from a spanking doesn't last long. The emotional pain does, and that's the true deterrent! I can ground, spank, beg, or bribe R to be good in private, and it barely works. A quick swat in public *where other people can see* and she's instantly on her best behavior. So take away his Guitar Hero III, and let him know why. Mind your Dad, kid!

Ahh, good ol' Wired magazine.

Trust Wired magazine to bring up the concept of Alt.Santas (each one wanting to be your holiday provider). My personal favorite is Parent Appreciation Santa. How much does it suck to bust your ass to get your kid just what they want, only to have them tell you that Santa always brings good stuff, while "your presents are boring".

I'm just about sick of the whole Christmas thing, anyway. Fucking commercialism.

Merry Xmas to ME

Well I broke down and got some new boots this weekend. My old boots were 15+ years old and barely had any sole left :) I've looked for a suitable replacement for a while, but surprisingly enough I couldn't find anything decent for under $100. Hell! I only paid $50 for those old Walmart boots, and they lasted for fucking ever!

Well, my options basically boiled down to $110 boots that weren't steel-toe, had crappy leather, but looked pretty, or $135 for steel-toe, good quality Doc Martens, but they're brown & not so pretty. Oh, well. I dig the lug soles, and they were comfortable from the first time I wore them, and they should last. They'll also do a good job replacing my skateboard shoes for when I'm riding.

Super-duper bonus! They're genuine shit-kickers! Now I look even MORE like the white-trash piece o' shit redneck that I am! Hell, if my hair & beard get just a bit more white/grey, I'll look just like the Gambler!

Yeehaw! Motherfuckers!

PS. I should probably warn you, in case you're reading: don't go digging through my trash can. Remember, redneck, whitetrash, lying, cheating, woman-stealing motherfuckers have guns... It's part of what makes us who we are.

Quote of the Day

Dysfunction:
"The only consistent feature in all your dysfunctional relationships is you."

Yes, I realize this is the perfect lead-in to Mr. Anonymous to send me another snarky comment. Go ahead and comment, it doesn't affect me in the least, and I'm assuming it makes you feel better. I'd hate for you to put all that effort in for no reward.

I don't know if I'd call it the "Word of the Year"

Tuesday, Merriam-Webster crowned "w00t" word of the year.

I don't think I'd even call it a "word". A saying, or an expression, maybe. But not a word. Is it still a word if it has numbers in it? Wikipedia isn't clear.

I don't think it works for dogs

PawSense - Catproof your computer.

Please note, however: "PawSense does not include a miracle cure for deafness."

Group Therapy

A psychiatrist was conducting a group therapy session with four young mothers and their small children....

"You all have obsessions," he observed.

To the first mother, Mary, he said, "You are obsessed with eating. You've even named your daughter Candy."

He turned to the second Mom, Ann: "Your obsession is with money. Again, it manifests itself in your child's name, Penny."

He turns to the third Mom, Joyce: "Your obsession is alcohol. This too manifests itself in your child's name, Brandy."

At this point, the fourth mother, Kathy, gets up, takes her little boy by the hand and whispers.

"Come on, Dick, we're leaving."

A hot 25 yo!

The good ol' C=64. I got mine in '91 or so, from Paul when he upgraded to the C=128. We spent so much time on BBS's downloading warez over his super-fast 2400 baud modem. We spent almost 2 weeks trying to crack the protection on the Track & Field game :)

I still have that thing somewhere, and about 500 floppies with games on it...

A smorgasborg of links

Ok, really only four. First up we have a funny little comic from Jenny at Devil's Panties ("Not Satanic porn... honest!"). She's the artist who drew my latest tattoo. Anyway, the comic is all about slapping the cat...

Next, to put us in the xmas mood, there's a comic I stumbled over titled interview with a human. It's a side-scroller, but trust me, by the end it gets to xmas. It's funny.

Next we have a NSFW link. If you've never been on any message boards, NSFW stands for Not Safe For Work, so you've been warned. It's not quite Sesame Street, although the recently released first seasons have been labelled adults only. You didn't care about that, though. You want NSFW! Here it is, the the ABC's of boobs! Of course, my favorite letter is "G".

Lastly, a link that no one but me cares about. It's a stat page for the server I play on every night. Notice who's number 2? It may look like a landslide, but #1 is at 42.8 points/hr, and #2 is at 42.7 points/hr. So I'm not that far behind :)

REDHEADS!!!

God was nice enough to put a warning light on TOP!!!

W00t!

So while I thought I was pretty much out of vacation, I recently found out I actually have so much that I'm in danger of falling prey to the "use it or lose it" policy. We only get to carry over 15 days. Long story short, I can cash it in or take it, and I'm going to do a little of both. There's supposed to be a stretch right around xmas where you can take 3 days of vacation, and get 2 weeks off. Yay me!

On a more bummer note, I'm pretty sure the incision from my hydrocelectomy is infected. I'm using one of those vacation days to try to get in to see the doctor.

I think this is going to be a cool movie

Note: if I tried to watch any preview other than 480, it was too big for my screen.

I was a Speed Racer fan when I was a kid, I used to love it. Although I'm not a fan of the actor playing him, I still think this will be pretty good. Just watch the damn trailer :)
