I was actually able to sleep in until 0630 today! Normally, to help The Mrs. out and make sure she gets to her work on time, I’m up an hour and a half earlier.
But I digress. Let’s see what’s out on the wires today:

HAWKING - GET OFF THE EARTH: He sure sounds like selrahC doesn’t he!

CT MOHAMMEDANS WANT POLICE PROTECTION: Bombadan’s about to start. Besides, it’s not yet time for Cowboys & Muslims….

TIGER WOO HAS REALLY BAD DAY: Next to LAST, no less. Imagine that!

Someone please tell me this isn’t the same guy:

Seen at Wal-Mart.

And Punxsutawney Phil predicts…six more weeks of winter.
Tell us something we didn’t know.

Now here’s some more oldies but goodies which I found during some more spring cleaning: screen shots from my college database project from 1995! On Microsoft Access. On Windows 3.1. Ugh.
Somehow, I managed to pull a 2.7 and passed the class, and this…was one of my lower grades on the path to my Bachelor’s Degree. Of course, this was fourteen years ago, and programming’s changed a lot since then. Who knows, I know a whole lot more about information technology now than I did back then.

I wonder sometimes how easy it is to hack into a road sign to change the message, like what has now shown up in Texas, the Народная Республика Ильиной, and Indiana. While this is Illegal, I dare to venture that this might be a viral marketing tool for World War Z.

Tell us somehting we didn’t know.

No need to mention another group, which would be even more offended:

I think I’ll pass this along to my buddy The johnster and his wife. I’m sure they’d be game for trying this on Super Bowl Sunday.

I actually got back to Phoenix seven hours ago. Quick nap, then fill the gas tank afterward (27.95 mpg!) and then off to the grocery store to stock the shelves. But what did I really find today? Lots of good news:

TIME OUT, EH: Prime Minister Harper got the Governor General to prorogue (that is, to suspend) Parliament to allow his minority government to form a budget. Turns out a majority of Canadians don’t like what the Grits, NDP, and Bloc Québécois are trying to do, eh.

SEE YA, OJ! He got sentenced to at least 15 to possibly 33 years in prison. He may get out in as little as 9 years if he’s a good boy, then Fred Goldman will be out waiting for him again.

ЗУБО ЗА ЗУБ: OK, so the Saudis want to build a mosque in Moscow? So the Russians ask to build an Orthodox Church in Riyadh? Fitting reciprocity, don’t you agree?

Believe it or not, this campaign cycle is even getting to me. I can’t wait till this is over. So since today is Halloween, I’m going to focus on the WEIRDDD:

SPAAAAAACE…SMURFS? NASA’s Messenger probe found evidence that Mercurian volcanoes spewed forth…blue stuff.

NO JACKSON 5 FOR MICHAEL: I guess he’s too good for them?

BRAAAAINS…BRAAAAAAINS…: Want some for dinner? Here’s the recipe.

That’s right, chum. Look closely now at this ‘delicacy’:

And here I thought Carl’s Jr.‘s Six-Dollar Burger was bad. Wait till you see the other menu items you can find at the State Fair.

Time to dive right in….

‘24’ FANS TAKE NOTE: Hud has an eerie comparison to make between that show and a current politcian.

BRITNEY NEEDS TO BE COMMITTED: After this latest episode where, after a 3-hour custody dispute, The Slut is taken to the hospital in an ambulance. Perhaps they should sterilize her too.

IF JAY’S SCABBING HIMSELF: Maybe he should quit the WGA.

Quick! When’s the next full moon?

Let’s see…call healthcare provider to see what bulls**t is holding my October claim. Check.
Call State Farm to see how and why Mom’s name got put on my notice. Again. Check.
And while I whittle the time away till the chiropractic appointment at 1500…I thought I’d bring out these old floppies to be erased:

I haven’t used a floppy disk in over eight years! And since I have my entire floppy drive collection burned to a DVD anyways…I won’t miss these either.

It may be Monday morning…I may have gotten six hours’ sleep…but I’m still not totally rested. Still:

PATS 11-0 BUT: Remember, they got caught...so this may taint any perfect record they may aspire to.

DAY OF RECKONING: Speaking ot tainted, Pat Buchanan is heralding the end of the United States. We all know why he would say this. However, he is still anti-Semitic at his core, and he belongs in the same boat as, say, Vlaams Belang.

TRAGEDY OF NEW CAPRICA: Since the end of Season 3 (from what I remember), SciFi.com has allowed Frakheads to make videos and this is one of them; at least they provide the SFX and soundtracks. Check it out.

Whoever wants this has got money to burn…but at least as the creator of this can attest, they can at least feel good about the chunk of change they’re putting down for it.

In more ways than one that is…it’s got an aprhrodisiac in it. But hurry…this offer is good only till December 14!
