Out of the Blue

Happy Mother's Day! This is tough holiday for me as it's the first of these since my mom passed away, but I've been finding my spirits raised as the day itself approaches, as I focus on cherished memories. We'll be spending some time with family today, and are looking forward to a fine old time (and I get to give WalterEgo those birthday punches).

For all you moms and children with plans today, here's hoping you have a great day!

The idea the some german computer guys kicked ass on bodyguards is the most hilarious thing I have ever read

Well, computer salesmen, not programmers or sysadmins or something (although I've known a number of both that were in very good shape). I have a cousin in the computer sales biz... ex-Army chopper pilot. He's in great shape and would kick your ass if you somehow pissed him off.

That said, you hit someone with a brass standing ashtray and they're going down. I don't care what nationality they are.

This day, like all the other celebration days, was a bit melancholy. Sure, I do my daily stuff (work, pay bills, etc) and I take care of my mother's stuff as I need to (packing, legal matters, what have you...), but I am still quite, quite traumatized by it all.

To be honest, I think the hardest part is the death itself and my generally agnostic beliefs.

Where is my mom?

I certainly hope for the "heaven" route, it is certainly the most warm and fuzzy, but I have no way of proving that and I cannot honestly say that it lines up with my previous experience(s.)

On the more factual or experienced-thus-far route, my mother is dead and that is it - end of the road, game over. From all this time, about the only thing that I do know is just that death is what it is - it happened and it just "is." In this case, what is the point of any of it?

Trying to make sense of any part of it,
Ray

Catch it with a bird trap.

Get rid of it with a nice blast with an air horn (and the closer you got to it before you sound off, the better!).

Hey, how the hell do you catch a Makaw?

Shoot it with a .22 and catch it on the way down. If you're the non violent type, a BB gun might make it leave.

I bet the bodyguards were American

you never miss an opportunity to slip that "American" thing do you Blowski?

And you never miss a chance to slip in his slipping it in.

As for the macaw, try searching online and see if there are any hints.

Hasn't this apartment been for sale before? I'm guessing that the million dollar price tag is probably out of the range of most Trek fans. And most humans.

I'm glad Gallagher got his ass handed to him, though. He's such a twat (and Oasis sucks).

Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy! That guy courts confrontation and regularly gets beaten up.

Hey, how the hell do you catch a Makaw? We've got one in the tree outside my study shouting it's head off and it's driving me insane (words to the effect of 'Your weather in Britain is shit! I want back to Africa now!' most likely.) The owners wandered by a few hours ago, stared blankly up at the tree for a while, then wandered off again, so I guess I'm screwed for a good nights sleep...

Anyhow, someone must have a clue...

That is definately one of the funniest stories I've read in awhile. I could just see it now: incredibly buff German super-nerds kicking ass and taking names. Priceless.

Lose it? I didn't lose it. It's not like, "Whoops! Where'd my job go?" I QUIT.

I love it. You know the oasis guy was a jerk, counting on the bodyguards to let him get away with the jerkish behaviour of flicking peanuts at people.

I bet the bodyguards were American. They got no idea how those germans kick ass. The idea the some german computer guys kicked ass on bodyguards is the most hilarious thing I have ever read. It ought to be a Dilbert cartoon.
