Out of the Blue

I gave Hudson the wonder dog a bath yesterday, in case you were wondering why the air all around the globe smells better today. The Gunnar-man is next, though this isn't as urgent, as he doesn't really generate the same stench level as Huddy, though he makes up for it in plain old dirt.

That reminded me of something I did when I was working at an electronics store in the mall after graduating high school. I had gotten a new computer as a graduation present with a state of the art 14.4k fax/modem. I had a scanned image of my drivers license, but I don't remember how I got it since I didn't have a scanner. I cropped the picture out, made a wanted flier with my picture on it and faxed it to work on my day off. They thought it was funny and hung it up on the wall behind the counter.

A few days later I was ringing up a customer when I noticed him looking over my shoulder and back at me with a confused look on his face.

That was the worst job I ever had, but since I was friends with some of the people working there, I had some of the best times too. We would pull pranks on each other, customers and people in the mall.

That all reminds me of working my junior and senior year at GameStop in the mall. I wish I could remember even a bit of the funny shit that happened.

Yay for a clean Hudson and Gunnar-man! Yay for pre-season NFL starting tomorrow! The Packers are so going to win the Superbowl this year, suckas!

Oh yeah, I was going to say how important a demo is after playing the Marfia II demo yesterday. I was pretty concerned and probably would have bypassed it - at least untill the bargain bin - but that demo moved it into an immediate buy for me. I'm really looking forward to it. They've just captured 1950's America amazingly!

Because the cowards we call "Congress" refuse to step up. I have yet to hear a valid reason for Congress not writing and passing a law that does two very simple things which not only make sense, but would save us tax payers hundreds of millions of costs each and every year:

1) Eliminate the paper $1 bill
2) Eliminate the penny

3) Congressmen will start to receive payroll in the form of $1 bills for regular time and pennies for overtime hours.

In many cases herbs or homeopathic agents can be used to avoid drugs, reduce their adverse effects or to minimize the necessary dose for control of conditions like heart disease, skin problems or arthritis.

I freaking hate the Huffington Post.

So basically, the owner of the New York Knicks and the owner of the Cleveland Cavaliers are battling it out to see which of them is the biggest idiot?

I must say I am rather unused to having a dog around the house myself. My last dog, a boxer, passed about 4 years ago and today I've got a 3 year old rather rambunctious Siamese cat.

However I watched my sister's 4 month old puppy last week for a few days. A 'bug'.. a Boston Terrier, Pug mix. He's only about half the size of the cat and surprisingly my cat let him play rather aggressively with him.

To the heart of the story, I was so unused to having a dog around that within a few hours I noticed that my place 'smelt of puppy' and I didn't really like it. Not that the pup had urinated or soiled my place at all, just the smell of a dog in the house was so odd to me after these years I just didn't like it. I should have given that pup a bath.

His body will be delivered by a series of big trucks, with powerballs standing by to blast open holes in whatever blockade the trucks encounter.

R.I.P. Mr. Stevens. Thank you for the meme.
