Chuck

So long Chuck, and thanks for all the ‘damns.’

I guess we can pry that gun away from him now, yuk yuk.

Insert caption as you see fit.

*I realize I don’t do this every day, but it sounds a lot better than the ‘Bush picture-of-the-every-once-in-a-while’…right?

28 Dec 07 Welcome to the family!

My new nephew came into the world last night, on my brother’s birthday. How awesome is that?

Name still to be determined. I’m rooting for Maximus or Dexter, but that’s just me.

22 Dec 07 R.I.P: Borat/Ali G

Cohen says goodbye to alter egos Borat, Ali G

UPDATE: Apparently there was an Ali G movie, and according to terpischord it was a stinker.

And hopefully the bad Borat impressions will die with it. The character is great, but enough is enough. I will, however, miss Ali G. I think Ali was Sacha’s stronger character and he deserved his own movie. Looks like a no-go now, unless they offer him more money.

24 Aug 07 I love Amazon.com

I ordered some things for school two nights ago and chose free shipping because I need to save cash.  They gave me an estimated arrival date of Sept. 4th – Sept. 17th.  The package hit Jacksonville, FL last night and should be here tomorrow or Monday.  Hell yeah free shipping!

20 Aug 07 A Good Year [semester]

No I’m not talking about the Peter Mayle book or movie, but something almost as sweet.  I just looked at the rosters for my classes this semester and all five of them are almost all 90% female.  The odds are in my favor.

It’s going to be a good couple of months.

03 Aug 07 Off the grid

The Acer has now become a $700 brick/paperweight/doorstop. It was
touch and go for a while there, as long as I didn't move it. It
finally died permanently at the beginning of the week. An LCD
shortage put a delay on the new Dell ordered through work.

No computer at home for over a week.

Send help.

30 Jul 07 Guns = Peace

Arms Sales in Gulf Will Counter Terrorism, Rice Says

            Awesome idea!  Let’s give the Middle East just what they need, more guns!  You know because it’s worked so good for us in the past and it most likely won’t end up biting us in the ass later.  No way, that would never happen.  You know, because as soon as they are done using those guns and weapons to bring peace(?), they are just going to hang them up in the closet and never touch them again. 

Hmm, I wonder if the military contractors getting that $20 billion will be making some sizable campaign contributions this year.  I’m willing to bet so.

            Will they ever learn?
