URINATOR!!

There are certain problems I have with public rest rooms, or at least rest rooms that are shared with groups of people. People are fucking pigs. Disgusting, filthy, biohazard, vomit-inducing, pigs. I hate using the bathroom here at work, wanna know why? Because there is some foul bastard of a mother's womb who insists on displaying his nose goblin collection on the walls over the urinal. That's right, every time I go to "see a man about a snake" I have to stare ahead at some god damn, mother fucker's booger's smeared on the wall. What kind of sick fuck do you have to be to do this every day? What event had to occur during your childhood to cause this type of outcome? I can't even being to fathom the depth's of your problems and doubt that any psychologist could help you. You should just kill yourself now before you spawn more booger smearing bastards from your cursed loins. This brings me full circle to people who don't wash their hands at all. Why not just take your dick out and slap it against the door handle for me? Cause that would be great....
At least some people actually wash their hands, and some people even pretend to. But not you mr. two shakes, your life and activities are to pressing to be slowed down by needless sanitation. Why your dick is so important that everybody should be lucky to even touch it's left over residue.
You are so vital to everyone around you, you can't even stop to pretend to wash your hands, or even give a second glance at a moist towelette, you make a beeline right to the door because you have to be somewhere, somehow now or something horrible will happen. meanwhile, I'm at the freakin' door doing my best impression of cirque du soleil trying to open the door handle without touching it with any part of my body I might not want a rash on. In fact, let's just replace the doorhandle with a penis. A big ol' floppy dong to represent what we're really touching.
And while I'm experiencing this little joy of my life, i've got you behind me practically sticking your dick up my ass because i'm taking to long to open the door because I don't seem to enjoy cock as much as you do. God I hope you die. >:|

Well we finally finised

Well we finally finised the dining room paint job (kinda). Four coats of Velvety Merot....4 freakin' coats. Crazy..... So I bought a scale last week from Amazon. The reason this scale is so special is that I got it for $19.99 because of an error on their website. Seems that somebody keyed in the wrong price and a few people noticed it and got in on the deal. So I got an 85 dollar scale for 19....plus free shipping.
What are the amazing things you can do with this scale?
- Find out your weight (175)
- Prop open door
- Figure out how much weight you just lost by pooping
- Weigh the cats
- Brag about it's cheap price

my neck hurts again

I have a secret dream. One that has lasted for years and consumes my thoughts. I want Transformers. Specifically, generation one transformers:
- Optimus prime
- Megatron (when he was still a gun)
- Jetfire (oh dear god, who doesn't want this?)
- Soundwave. I bring this up not because I'd trade my first born, but because I ran across a sadly cool thing today. Soundwave breakdancing.
Let me say that again, it's a video of Soundwave, from the Transformers TV show, break dancing.

Beware the puppies of pergitory!!!!!

Coolest toilet ever....!

Cool clock, no? It was a gift from the cat's ;)

I am a sick, sick man

- Man plunges to death from helicopter into Grand Canyon. Hey, if your gonna go, go big.
- House vs. Subaru WRX. House looses.
- Hiding behind certificates, has the IT industry become dependant upon little pieces of paper that mean nothing?
- Marshmallow results in arrest of teacher's aid by federal agents. Hot chocolate overheard to be planning a much more devious plan.
- Fraternity rents house. Fraternity trashes house at huge party. Fraternity doesn't understand why they're being sued for damages.
- McDonald's now offering special menu's for African American's. Not to be confused with their actual, serious attempt at hitting up Asians and Pacific. :sad:
- Undercover car salesman tells secrets. Actual article is kinda weak on specifics, but the concept is cool.
- Motorist pulls over deputy for speeding. Entire family ends up in jail. Lawyers heard rejoicing.
- Self serving, egotistical bullshit critiqing america's morals coming from a clergyman who fathered a child out of wedlock and hid it. Does anyone with a brain stem actually listen to this guy and his policy of "pull the race card"?
- Corrupt towing company holds wheelchair from crippled man. Ends up returning wheelchair, but still is charging $15 dollars a day for storage for van it was in. Guess what folks, if he couldn't pay the bill at first, what the fuck makes you think he's gonna start crapping money now?

Cheeto's and green tea....my poor toilet

Saturday was a beautiful day. Sunny. Cool breeze. A beautiful day by anyone's standards. The kind of day that would make a person want to crawl out of their basement, shake off the drug induced haze, and skip thru a green field with puppies and butterflies. Then we got in the car. It's not her fault, god love her, but I swear to god Jen has an Idiot Magnet (patent pending) shoved up her ass somewhere. It's gotten to such a point that if it wasn't for lack of having a back seat or a trunk I'd make her hide back there while driving with a blanket over her head......made of tinfoil....and breathing quietly. Now, I'm not sure if I was absent the day they covered "anger venting" in driver's education, however, my preferred method of choice is screaming at my steering wheel. Sometimes, when there's nothing else you can do, proclaiming loudly that a person has his way with many barnyard animals and stating that his heritage is less than desireable along with his general exhistance is the only thing that can help. (translation: shit eating, donkey raper, mutha fucka) But the catch is that when we do this, it usually is to ourselves, not others (unless there's a passenger). We don't normally hang out the window screaming obscenities like a crazed tourettes patient, frothing and slobbering at the mouth. That was the case, at least until this saturday. So we were dropping by Home Depot to pick up some more Velvity Merlot paint, and were sitting in the left turn lane, which has two lanes. We are in the far left one, since when we pull in we are going to be heading left. So far so good. Then the light changes and the car's begin their slow, lemming like progression into the parking lot, when one of the most spectacularly stupid things happens. The car in front of us realizes, that somehow, it needs to be in the outside left turn lane, not the inside. Rather than simply go thru with the turn and then figure out how to get back, the person (later to be confirmed as female) tries to change lanes...in the middle of the turn...did I mention both lanes were pretty full? Probably didn't mention that did I. So we're sitting. stopped. behind this MENSA candidate who's trying to change lanes, and as a result has come to a complete stop thereby blocking everyone behind her and stopping us dead in our tracks with our asses hanging out into the main road.
Meanwhile, nobody else in the outside left turn lane was expecting this, and as such nobody's letting this sterilization candidate in....why would they, nobody in their right might would see this coming. Finally, she get's in between an SUV and some old lady driving like she's got nothing to do but wait to die. Now comes the best part. Jen's mad. I'm mad. We want to vent our frustration about this person and our shocked looks and comments about lineage just aren't doing it. So as she get's over to the outside turn lane, and we drive by Jen voice's her displeasure in the word's "STUPID FUCKING BITCH" in a loud tone (loud tone of course meaning she yelled it). Remember I said it was a nice day? My window was wide open. Guess what....so was her's. If I had chosen so I could have reached out and smacked the back of her head, we were that close. :) Let's just say, it's clear to her how Jen felt about her driving, and we spent the rest of the day looking out of the corner of our eyes for somebody in an Oberweis shirt and a pony tail coming at us.

Honda Insight garage door opener

Finished a project Sunday that I've been meaning to do for a while. I put a garage door opener in my car. Behold mere mortal, for this is no normal garage opener. Nay....this garage door opener is built into the car, will never need a battery again, better range AND just damn plain looks cool.
Here you can see the circuit board connections. Used some old telephone wire to run the switch and LED leads, and some 18 gauge speaker wire for power.

Here's the casing put back on. I didn't put any holes, so if I wanna I can put it back to being a regular opener.

My messy work bench :) The messier the better!

I marked out the cuts in pencil, here's the first rough cut. Just used a Dremel and a really sharp razor blade...

Here we are about 1 hour later. Took forever to get it right, but I had to be careful. Don't exactly have extra pieces lying around ya know.

Here's the space in the dash where it's going

This is the +12v lead I tapped into to power it.

Voila!

Interesting note, even though the garage door unit is now in the middle of the dash (behind the button) it still works better than it did when clipped on the visor. Even behind all the metal of the car. I think it's simply because of the additional power. 12v @ 120amps beats a battery any day.
Of course I added this to my Honda Insight page as well. Also, the next project coming up here is adding a subwoofer :) :) :)

Bought a new lawn mower yesterday. Turns out Terri needed her John Deere back while he house was being torn down. So she was nice enough to pay for 1/2 of it! Really nice of her, of coure I better cash the check fast....ya never know with her :P The best part is it matches my car....and probably has more horsepower too :P

What have I been up to?

PAINTING!!!!! YAY I LOVE TO PAINT!!!!! Those groves in the ceiling are a mutha fucka to paint:

Like the color? Scary isn't it?

The lovely Jen painting a wall

I actually do some work (had to set the camera to timer to get this)

First coat of paint....looks like the walls of the Tampon testing institute.

2nd coat of paint....looks a little better....

Cuto picture of nibbler....bad picture of me.....really bad. That look on my face kinda reminds me of www.jeffgoldblumiswatchingyoupoop.com.

Bought these shoes a while ago, and just love them....i am aware how gay that sounds by the way....

Now if you'll excuse me, my back is KILLING me so I have to go drink the pain away and chug some more advil :(

This revolution has just begun

- Dar·win·ism ( P ) Pronunciation Key (därw-nzm)
n.
A theory of biological evolution developed by Charles Darwin and others, stating that all species of organisms arise and develop through the natural selection of small, inherited variations that increase the individual's ability to compete, survive, and reproduce. Also called Darwinian theory.

- Firefighters' error sends Utahn's heirloom up in flames. The best part of the articles is this "Whitney told the AP the challenge now is to keep up morale so the firefighters won't leave the volunteer department." WHO THE FUCK GIVES TWO SHITS ABOUT THEM!?!?!?! They didn't just loose their homes and everything because some rednecked, shit eating, donkey raper volunteer fireman couldn't be bothered to piss on the ashes. I propose we send them all airline tickets to Ft. Worth and a swimsuit.
- Crooked environmentalist's.....I should be surprised, but I'm more worried about Hell running out of room at the rate we're going.
- A man filling up his fishing boat with gas created a scene at Dodge's Store in U.S. 90 early Friday evening when he accidentally stuck the nozzle into the rod holder of his boat.
- Join the MWCGGBUMHHWDSSESFGBLW group.
- Nigerian scam hit's the shores of Canada. In related news you have NOT won an International Lottery, you will NOT get 10 Million dollars by helping Captain Arshad Myquiala get his money out of Portugal, and you should stick you hand in a blender that's turned on.
- Here's a serious story for a change about free speech being kept off the streets. Bush protestor's are being hustled out of sight by the secret service into confined enclosures so nobody can see them. Now that's just a scummy, low life thing to do.
- Micheal Moore doesn't want you know the trust about Columbine. Just accept his film as fact/documentary, when really it's a biased commercial for his views and editing trickery.

Son of a .....

Every been having an ok day? You know a day where nothing's really great or bad, just kinda "errrrr" and the first major thing that happens will determine it's outcome. So it's finally a nice day so i was going to take the bike to work, and the ride in was quick and nice. great weather and apparently most people forgot to take their moron pill cause the drivers weren't to bad. So I pull into work, and all's going well, when I notice something out of the corner of my eye scurrying along the edge of my perception. When low and behold I get to discover that there is a god damn, mother fucking spider in my son of a bitch motorcycle helmet. The worst part about situations like this is knowing that if you freak out like a little girl you'll end up wiping out....but not really caring. I mean in my head I'm trying to rationalize the hospital stay as a vacation...just as long as I kill that little motherfucker dead. Despite my instinctual urge to slay the viscious, huge (did I mention huge...cause it's not like i'd be afraid of a little spider) beast that has tagged a ride, I force myself to concentrate on not testing gravity. Meahwhile, HellSpider (as I'll call him) is ping ponging back and forth along the top of my visor like he's fully aware that I can't touch him. If i open the visor the wind will just hurl him deeper into the netherregions of my helmet where he can entrench himself and spawn more minions from his devil loins. So now I know that I can't do anything about this until I can stop, and I swear to god, he know's it to. He's just sitting there mocking me with his spiderness, running in place and lowering himself down to my nose and back again. I swear he even flicked me off once, I really mean it. I saw that look in his eyes, like he was planning to have babies in my nose, or have his evil, bestial way with my ear canal and not even call the next day or send roses. I was finally able to pull over, and get the damn helmet off before he was able to eat one of my eyeballs out and then crap egg's in the empty socket.....but now I can't stop itching my head and looking into my helmet expecting eye's to be staring back at me.

the reverb, you just heard, is resounding, in the surrounding...area

The reverb you just heard is resounding in the surrounding area,
It's getting scarier I've got the amp damp mangled,
got my tingle in tangle let me see what I can wangle,
In the bermuda triangle,
Gravity will be the death of me,
Terminal velocity follow the follow the vaper,
One hundred purcent proof caper,
Burst the barricades but don't drink the lemonade,
Martinis by beeard man an artizan down at the can can,
And oh yes he can can fat,
Fredies cat in seven lead boots whiskey for the whiskers the shot sure shoots,
She sells sea shells sea shells on the sea shore,
Is it true what mummy said you can't come back no more,
Oh no no no no singing a song about nothing,
Talk through my belly button,
At the inn of seventh happiness more or less,
I found you on the floor saying more more more,
Peel back the skin sonar beats like quaver,
Small bananas selected for flavour,
I can't help myself....
Bought a new light at IKEA for about 18 bucks.....while there I swear to god I saw at least 3 white kids with HUGE afro's walking around just hanging out. WTF??? Guess I missed the memo stating that looking like a fucking retard is back in style.

- More FARSCAPE pics!!!!!!
- Make ironing more fun....or at least a little more mentally disturbing if you really think about it.

MY EYES! THE GOOGLES DO NOTHING!!

So, I managed to rip the outer layer off my cornea's yesterday somehow. It turns out that falling asleep with your contacts in can be a very bad thing. At least for me and my Toric contact lens's. Now most website and references I can find say sleeping with your contacts in for one night isn't a big deal. i'm here to say that I don't give two shits what they say, don't do it! My eyes didn't hurt that much, They didn't get all red and swollen or anything when i finally did take them out. What did happen was that I wasn't able to focus or see anything for shit yesterday, and I had a headache pretty much all day. Pretty much I could see anything at all. now the outer layer of the cornea will grow back in about 24hrs according to my eye doctor....but damn, not being able to focus or see can freak out just about anybody if you ask me.

Here's a great little tweak from IANAG (I Am Not A Geek) for those of us who have LAN's at home. In Windows 2000 and XP both when you're browsing a network windows by default automatically searches for scheduled tasks while you're browsing a computer. This can add up to a 30 second delay. Make sure you backup your registry before doing this since any registry changes have the potential to cause problems and even break stuff!

Marble bedroom set?

Some people have complained about my taste in metal furniture. Metal/glass desk, Steel filing cabinet.....obviously a love of large, unweildy furniture is present in my sister as she had a marble bedroom set. In fact, I don't think there is a piece of particle board in her house anywhere. - Don't piss off your parents. Actually, better yet, raise your kid right and you won't have to deal with shit like this.
- Curbs hurt. Factor in a car, pallet, and graviational forces associated with "skitching" and they probably hurt even more than normal.

Sometimes, pissing and moaning DOES help...

An elderly lady phoned her telephone company to report that her telephone failed to ring when her friends called -- and that on the few occasions when it did ring, her pet dog always moaned right before the phone rang.
The telephone repairman proceeded to the scene, curious to see this psychic dog .... or the senile elderly lady. He climbed a nearby telephone pole, hooked in his test set, and dialed the subscriber's house. The phone didn't ring right away, but then the dog moaned loudly and the telephone began to ring. Climbing down from the pole, the telephone repairman found: 1. The dog was tied to the telephone system's ground wire via a steel chain and collar. 2. The wire connection to the ground rod was loose. 3. The dog was receiving 90 volts of signaling current when the phone number was called. 4. After a couple of such jolts, the dog would start moaning and then urinate on himself and the ground. 5. The wet ground would complete the circuit, thus causing the phone to ring. Which goes to show that some problems CAN be fixed by pissing and moaning.

I ain't lying folks, thats my word..

Yet another successful maintenance window this morning. Moved about 10k customers in SFLDMI. Always feels good to do something right the first time. So I saw this chair and wanted to buy it. I think it looks hella sweet, but Jen says it's probably cheap. I have to do something here, cause the plastic arms on my 99 dollar chair are gonna be the death of my elbows.
I'd LOVE to buy an Aeron Chair if possible....but that ain't gonna happen anytime soon. I mean technically..sure i could buy it....but jesus christ for that price the damn chair should make me breakfast as well. And now something for Rick to do at work...LINKS!

God damn toilet

So over the weekend we finished putting down the plywood subflooring necessary to bring the height up so the pergo will transition smoothly to the tile. We had bought about 21 sheets of 7/16" 4'x8' OSD plywood a few months back and have been working at it on and off. Plus a 2nd subfloor will increase stability, reduce squeaks, and make the basement more sound proof so you don't have to listen to people walking overhead. Now we can paint, pick out the base molding, and then pergo!

I hate haircuts

So I bought the game Far Cry the other day to play on my computer. The freakin' thing has 5 CD's........5 CD's to install *shakes head* Then the damn thing won't even install properly on the DVD drive that came in the computer. So I had to try installing it on the CDR drive, which finally works. But now I'm trying to get the update patch, I can't find a server that works....what a freakin' joke! Now if you'll excuse me I need to go rip apart a toilet...but on the bright side, Jen did a hell of a job kicking the tree's ass....it's all chopped up and in lawn bags now. Simply amazing.
