Where Were They All When I Could Have Used Them?
Being a seasoned Blogger now for over SIX years, some people might notice that I take a little different approach to things here on the computer than some of my friends and peers.
Take this new stuff like Facebook and Twitter, for instance.
Facebook?
Blogging lite in my opinion.
You log on...
then blab a little about whatever it is that's going on in your life or bothering you, then you log off.
Twitter?
Same thing...
except you have to limit your thoughts and opinions to 140 characters.
Thus I spend little time on Facebook and even less time on Twitter because generally what I have to say takes more bandwidth and words to spout forth than either of those platforms allows and supports.
So any way, for some reason the ladies over at Twitter...mostly women without clothing...have decided to send me messages recently indicating their desire to "follow" me on Twitter and in the process sending me pictures of their breasts and other body parts for my perusal and enjoyment.
Thing is...
I refuse to peruse said fotos because I'm fairly certain I've seen similar structures made of flesh and uncovered or covered with hair in the past many times, and the websites attached thereto will probably give my computer some virus or worm or other digital infestation or malady causing the shaking shuddering heebie jeebies and I'll spend three days and nights fighting to regain control of the situation.
Thus to all of the young women out there...many if not most old enough to be my daughter or even my grand-daughter...
keep your private parts covered and stop following me offering pictures of same because I'm too old to care anymore.
Twenty or thirty years ago it would be a different story, but still...we haven't been properly introduced...
O Tay?

Six More Days To...
The "BEGINNING"...or "THE END"?
I don't know about you Ladies and Gentlemen, but I'm so tired of the "News" and inherent stupidity associated with this current 2010 "election cycle" I want to go dig a hole under a rock somewhere and not crawl back out until next Tuesday in time to cast my vote while staggering past some Black Panthers or SEIU Union thugs in the process.
And of course next Wednesday morning after the last spit has stopped flying (except for the lawsuits and crys of voter fraud by the Democrats)...
I fully expect the "pundits" and the news persons to pause long enough to cover the fallout from the results of the World Series and possibly the next person getting bit by a shark on a beach out in California before cranking up new polling and discussions and predictions about the next Presidential election in 2012.
And in the mean time I guess I'll just continue to work my ass of earning as much cash as possible so the IRS can stop by next April 15th and pick up their share of my largess.
Time to take a nap after being up all night working again.
Regards Y'all...

Silence
Better I'm Quiet Else I'd Write/Say Something Like This....
"Huhh he haa ho hu he hunght ee ah ah oh blughehehehehehehahght"
Maybe the Senate will call me to testify at the Supreme Court confirmation hearings.
Me uttering something like this would make more sense than the silly asenine stuff I've been hearing...in my considered Redneck opinion.
Is it just me?

Lazy Sun Son Of A Gun
Sunlight Deprivation Relapse...
Well, it rained and was cloudy all day and as a result I successfully managed to do basically nothing except chase some vendors around looking for price quotes and making some accounts payable calls to my customers trying to chase down some money.
That's the bad thing (besides with dealing with all of the government crappola) about being in business for yourself...everybody expects to get paid on time every few weeks or even up front on commercial purchases for new businesses like mine, and yet your clients--often giant companies--are generally cavalier with taking their time sending you the money they owe you.
Right now I'm basically in the "banking" business, loaning money to a couple of companies for going on three months now from the first day we started spending money if you count the time spent while the products were still in my shop in fabrication and programming and we couldn't bill them yet.
I've still got a pile of government forms to file with the State of Tennessee and the Department of Labor by April 15th, but I'm letting them lay in a pile on my desk festering because my brains start dripping out of my ears and nostrils when I look at them and start reading the instructions written in English and Spanish.
I got a form in the mail today--I swear I'm not making this stuff up--that was telling me how to find out how to get EEOC information which complied with the Americans with Disability Act.
It opened up with this paragraph:
"The law requires an employer to post a notice describing the Federal Laws prohibiting job discrimination based on race, color, sex, national origin, religion, age, equal pay and disability."
Sorry folks, but I've got some news for everybody...I don't care what the Government says, any person which is deaf, dumb, blind, bearded, bald, crotchless-overall-wearing, transgendered Mormons or Quakers (and I mean all of those qualities applying to a single individual collectively) need not apply over here at my Company's Corporate offices, because I'm just not hiring them.
They'll have to fine me, sanction me, censure me, and send me to jail...it's just THAT simple.
Call me "I N S E N S I T I V E" I guess.
Heh...

Nobel Committee Slights Obama
Prize In Economics Goes To Michael Vick
Coming up for air after working in my basement shop all morning, I was cruising Drudge Report trying to find out what was happening in the world when I saw this Wall Street Journal Story lamenting President Obama NOT receiving the Nobel Prize in Economics this year.
With a little more Googling I found this secret photo of the Nobel Committee deliberating their internationally significant earth-shattering decisions:

Obama has as much business winning the Nobel Prize in ANYTHING...Economics, Physics, Peace, or Bungee Jumping...as I have showing up at the Super Bowl in a Helmet, pads, and a Football Uniform.
Speaking of Football, here's a photo of this years Nobel Economics winner prior to declaring bankruptcy after going to jail and forfeiting his Zillion dollar a year contract with the Atlanta Falcons...
You got to love a Brother with spirit...
Heh.

Foreign Socialists Continue To Meddle
Nobel Prizes Made Of Silly Putty and Dog Poop...
So there I was this morning, pounding away on a proposal with one hand and wiggling my mouse doing an AutoCAD drawing with the other, when I decided to break the silence in my office by tuning in to Neal Boortz's streaming broadcast on the Web this morning.
Then the first thing I heard was President Obama giving some kind of speech.
Then my face fell off as my head exploded as I realized that this wasn't a "hope and change" speech or a "government health care reform" speech....
this empty suit was delivering his "ACCEPTING THE NOBEL PEACE PRIZE" speech.
As I picked my face up off the floor and stuffed my Cerebellum and Medulla Oblongata back into my fractured cranium I felt a little better because I remembered that this same bunch of foreign sniveling booger eating eco friendly climate change disciples had also previously handed the same prize to the likes of Yasser Arafat and Jimmuh Carter.
Still, it pisses me off that they hand the thing to Obamarama after being in office for less than ten months and having accomplished WHAT?
Nothing
Nada
Buttkiss
I seem to remember in spite of his January pledges that Gitmo's still full of abused naked peaceful Muslim "detainees" being forced to watch Koran's being flushed down the toilet.
And aren't Americans are still dropping on the under staffed battlefields of Afghanistan and Pakistan?
The only thing Obamamrama has done to date is run around the planet apologizing for imagined mistakes and wrongs committed over the past 233 years...
and telling the Israelis to stop building houses and play nice with the Palestinians and Hammas.
Some %$#@ Peacemaker.
I say if SURRENDER and APPEASEMENT is the only thing necessary to win a Nobe Peace Prize, they aught to just print them up and sell them in flea markets and at yard sales.
Dammit...

Clothes Dryer Working
Head Still Spinning...
So I flopped and flipped and stood on my head most of yesterday afternoon, and when the dust settled somehow I had managed to install my Mexican made bushings and bearings in my old Sears Kenmore Clothes dryer and when I zipped it all back together it ran quietly without walking around the basement on one foot.
Then I went out to have some drinks to celebrate, came home and cooked dinner, and in the mean time on TV watched our idiot President kissing the feet and asses of every moronic dictator and self important self appointed shit head "world leader" that would present a body part in the direction of his lips.
Then I got a grip on myself and decided to calm my nerves by looking at some new tools I'm wanting to add to my ever growing collection.
Just in case for some reason you don't understand the situation, let me tell you that tool web sites like Grainger.com and Northerntool.com are equivalent to pornography for men over the age of 39.
So there I was happily clicking my way through the weekly sales and specials when I found this doosey (please click on the image and enlarge it so you can see why my head exploded):
Understand?
The %$#@ idiots in the states of California and Washington have decided that you can't burn wood in your house or trailer or hunting cabin to provide heat and cook some bacon and eggs and biscuits in the morning.
I suppose that these assholes want you to eat Tofu and cold Brie with crackers and install solar panels in order to reduce your "carbon footprint"
I'd like to put my footprint on some body's asses out there on the left coast.
So much for personal responsibility and surviving the winter without paying the power company or the gas company without freezing to death.
Can you believe this Crap? They've actually banned the sale of wood burning stoves because of the "pollution" they produce...
in two states which are nearly consumed by wildfires each year...wildfires burning WHAT?
Wood?
I have to go now and fill the kitchen sink with water and ice and soak my head.
Y'all have a LOVELY day...if you can...

Simple Answers
Telling The Pandering Geriatric Socialists Not "No" But "HELL NO"
This thrilling invitation came in the mail for me today...
Besides pissing me off that they know my name and know that I'm turning 50 in a little over a month, their programs and political contributions...99.99% to liberal Democrats...piss me off more.
That said, here's my answer to their invitations:
Maybe somebody should call them and say I said NO...

Dumb Da Dumb Da Dumb Da Dumb Da Da Da
(Somebody Please Que The Music From The Shark Attack Scene In the Movie "JAWS")
OK Ladies & Gentlemen...
Today Is June 30th on my Calendar.
Anybody but ME notice we've only had ONE "Tropical Anything" in the Atlantic and Gulf o' Mexico thus far in 2009?
And yet the Shitheads in our House of Representatives and our President and Nancy Pelosi (who with Mr. Jacko's death happens to also now lead the state of California as the person with the most Plastic Surgery) still insist on passing "Global Warming" or "Climate Change" legislation?
I'm sure that Bush and Cheney and Rove and Limbaugh are busy getting a hum dinger of a storm ready to hit some impoverished Caribbean Islands and come back to get all of the people Katrina missed, but in the mean time...
Until July and August fires things up again.
I have this to say...
YOU'RE A %&#@* IDIOT if you believe all of this "Man Made" Global Warming Crap.
Keep voting, and I'm going to laugh myself into my grave paying taxes for living the way I want to live and driving vehicles getting 9 MPG in the process while you die collecting your "earned income credits" and "carbon tax credits" and decrying the "evil rich people."
That will be all...for now...
Dammit...

Just Sittin' Around Scratching My Backside Head
World "Goings- On" Make Everywhere On Me Itch...
I've half a mind to run out and buy myself a Pig this morning.
Not just any Pig mind you...I want a FANCY Pig if it's going to live at my house.
Mostly likely something of the Miniature Potbellyed variety--and those don't come cheap...something in the $1000 range for a 2 pound piglet.
"But Virgil," you ask..."don't you know about the world ending because of the media induced 'Swine Flu Epidemic?' "
"Heck, they're diverting planes from DC to Boston and the Vice President's saying stay off the planes in the first place and schools are closing and people are walking around with funny masks and the media and the CDC are warning of a Pandemic and AAAAHHHHHH AaaaaaaHhhhhhh
AaahhhhHHHHHHAHHHHHHHHHHH AaaaaahhhhHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
AhhhhHHHHHHH....
(taking a big breath here boss....)
"Jesus Christ and Elvis on a Bicycle"...can't we all just get a grip here for five minutes people?
It's the Flu...
THE FLU
Comes around every year in some variety or strain or form, and every year some people in the third world and some 100 year old retired school teacher in Paduca, KY dies from it, and then the world goes on without interruption.
The liberals blame the deaths on insensitive greedy Republicans that resent paying extra taxes and Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton charge racism and demand a new government program and the people at the Centers for Disease Control just sit around shrugging their shoulders and saying "we're on top of the situation" while they squint their eyes looking serious...
And another thing...
Remember that in recent year's past it hasn't been "the Flue" or this years variety of "the Flu" that's been the story, it's been the Government induced SHORTAGE of FLU Vaccine that's been the issue, and that caused the media to hyperventilate and Mothers to duct tape over the heads of their children and refuse to send them to school and daycare?
So this year (and last year) there was more than enough Flu vaccine to go around, so I think the media--not having the story for the Thanksgiving/Christmas news cycle--pulled the Flu story out of it's Butt and flopped it into the front page headlines to give them something to write about and hoping that their beloved President Obama and the Obamarama Nation of liberal government idiots could be seen in a good light handling the non-problem.
Somebody tell me I'm wrong here.
This is a bullshit story...or more correctly...a Pigshit story...stirred up for NOTHING.
It will accomplish nothing to freak out about the prospect of catching this years variant of the creeping crud.
And another thing...this Virus is not AIRBORN.
You have to come in direct contract i.e. shake hands with, kiss, or have sex with an infected man or woman (we won't talk about pigs here) else be sneezed on by someone sick to get the stuff.
Sitting on a bus or airplane breathing the same air as Typhoid Bob/Suzy won't get you ill.
Now will you please go make some coffee and read the morning paper and let me calm down a little please?
I'm getting too old to have to kick everyones asses for stupidity but the world just keeps on tempting me...

Our Dumbass Government At Work
Gazoontite...
So you're an unarmed US Border "Customs Agent" who's job it is to stand around in the swell of traffic each day at the US/Mexican border crossings.
And you know that somewhere in Mexico theswine pigs members of the Porcine Population are busy transmitting their flu to the native human population.
People are sick and some are dieing.
What does your employer...the US Government led by Obama and the Obamaramas do?
The union says Customs and Border Protection officers carry masks in their pockets and wear them only when they encounter someone with swine flu symptoms.
The full story's here...
So how do I...a prospective border agent...tell if someone has swine flu symptoms--Shove a giant rectal thermometer up every ones butt to take their temperature?
How about just letting me WEAR the mask I paid for with my own money?
Stupid Democratic Buearucratic ASSwipes...can't live with 'em, can't vote without a few slipping through the cracks...

The Media Will Be The Death Of Me
Less Than TWO Days Undoes Nine...
I was so calm and relaxed on the way home in the car on Monday I actually noticed the change in my spirit.
I hadn't had a good verbal or written rant in a week because I didn't sit and watch the news on TV and stare at a computer screen for 12 or 15 hours each day, and it made me just plain FEEL GOOD.
I actually had FINGERNAILS for a change instead of stubbs worn off from chewing on them.
Then I come home and by looking this blog you can probably also tell that my fingernails are GONE.
I was happy to get back out of the dark ages of computer connectivity and look where it got me?
I'm sitting here yelling and screaming at the computer about things which shouldn't be happening and that I can't do anything about...but it drives me crazy when I miss finding out that it's happpening in the first place.
Sitting around on the internet all day--often times I know about stuff before it's reported on Fox News or even Drudge Report.
But what good does it do?
Lets me be pissed off for an extra half day rather than waiting for the newspaper to tell me on page five?
I don't know people...I think I need to make some changes 'round here.
What form they will take I don't know...stay tuned to this channel for developments...
I was so calm and relaxed on the way home in the car on Monday I actually noticed the change in my spirit.
I hadn't had a good verbal or written rant in a week because I didn't sit and watch the news on TV and stare at a computer screen for 12 or 15 hours each day, and it made me just plain FEEL GOOD.
I actually had FINGERNAILS for a change instead of stubbs worn off from chewing on them.

President Obama Sez "Some Are To Blame...But All Are Responsible"
Blaa...Blaa...Blaa
I just watched the Obamarama press conference live from London with the British Prime Minister, and what BLEW ME AWAY was Obamarama's insistence in pre-selecting the questions and the questioners in his news conferences.
WTF?
This stupid SOB can't answer a question off the cuff or on the fly?
Horry Crap Batman...the idiot doesn't answer a question when he "answers a question" which is pre-screened.
And he has the audacity to complain about about "the press" being unfair in their portrayal of the non-issues we're throwing shit-loads of money at.

They Had More Dollars Than Sense
Putting You Money Where Your Life Is
I feel sorry for the three guys that left Clearwater Florida last Saturday with Marquis Cooper piloting a 21' single engine boat into the Gulf of Mexico on a fishing trip.
From what I understand about the timing of the trip and the weather forecast the expedition was ill conceived from it's outset.
Take the word of a man that's spent thousands of hours on the water and put nearly as many hours on engines while at the helm of water craft ranging from 21' open bow ski boats to a 32' 12,000 pound twin engine Sea Ray I lost to thieves in another life...
As a boat captain, I wouldn't have gone out of sight of land that day in any boat less than 30 or even 40' in length and without multiple engines under the circumstances these guys wandered into on what amounted to a 21' single engine dingy.
I know that to all of you "land lubbers" the edge of the ocean is a beautiful, wonderful, fun place for people to fool around on and in.
But...let me let you in on a little secret.
The middle of the ocean...the part that starts about five or six miles off shore and extends for what seems forever to the next continent or other major land mass will swallow you whole without a trace in an instant, and the ocean can rise up from a near flat surface to a raging hell in a matter of an hour when a thunderstorm forms on top of your head or a cold front comes through like it did last weekend to these three athletes and their so called "Captain."
I understand that they've found one poor guy alive clinging to the capsized boat, but at this point in time I give the other three a less than 1% chance of being found alive and the odds of finding their bodies may be even less.
I guess that you could say that this is a perfect example of having disposable income killing people that aren't smart enough to pay attention and understand the risks they're taking.
I know...let's call the government and make them pass a law making boating against the law unless you pass some sort of test and pay some form of additional "luxury tax."
Yeah...that's the ticket...more Obama government taxation and intervention.
It's unfair that only mean old ever greying, ever balding white guys and professional athletes get to go deep sea fishing any way. I want a new government program that loads homeless people and "working families" up on ramshackle government boats and hauls their disadvantaged butts twenty five miles offshore with a few buckets of stinky squid and cigar minnows so they can learn how to tie a stainless leader to a piece of 50 pound mono filament line to a 0000 Penn Senator fishing reel.
...er...sorry... I lostmy mind train of thought for a moment...
Any way...I always say that money doesn't solve the problem of being arrogant or even STUPID, so when peopleget zillion dollar sports contracts win the lottery and then go out and buy a Lear Jet or a thousand horsepower car or a Yacht and proceed to make fifty foot deep craters in the ground, wrap their skulls around telephone poles, else disappear into the Bermuda Triangle that it's just Darwin laughing at modern society from his grave in Topeka, Kansas (he's actually buried in the Cemetery at Westminster Abby.)
How was that for my "insensitive essay of the week" submission?
Time now for a little nap before packing up the rest of my possessions in anticipation of heading back to St. Simons to cook Chili.

So "A-Rod" Took Steroids?
Does Anyone Else But Me Not Give A Crap?
Next thing we know the media will be telling us this guy sold the drugs to him...
What ever happened to "I'm strong to the finish...'cause I eats me spinach???"
