ok, Mario Kart DS has officially pissed me off.
Let me explain. The “blue shell” is supposed to hit the racer in first place. If you aren’t in first when it’s fired, but you are when it gets to the front of the pack, it hits you.
So, what it decides to do to me tonight is this: I’m in first, I get passed, and then the freaking blue shell hits me in the ass!
Fucker.
Blog will be moving, effective immediately, to WordPress.
Address remains the same, and I’ve put in hooks to make the old permalinks point to the new system.
You’ll need to change your feed, if any. The old blog will stay here for about a month, but all new updates will be happening in WP. And the only thing that’s likely to show you the old site is going to be the RSS feed.
In England, a Pakistani man torches his family for being “too western”. Then a few days later, he torched himself.
These are the people the left wants us to understand. If only we could change our belligerent ways, and truly embrace their culture, why, there would be peace.
And we’d all ride unicorns.
Look, it’s really simple. If these people (7th Century Islamist throwbacks) want to live among post-Enlightenment Western Civilization, then they’ve gotta get with the program. We don’t torch our wives and daughters because they don’t pray as much as we’d like. We don’t behead people because they say things that hurt our tender feelings. We don’t throw molotov cocktails at police to protest our unwillingness to get a job.
Either grow up, or go back to your ancient ways and disconnect from the world. If Western Civilization is so bad, then Pakistan and Iran shouldn’t be worried about losing internet and telephone service, airplanes, electricity, television, and cell phones. Right?
Just stop invading our world and torching your apostates. We’re sick of dealing with it.

I finally figured out why so many leftists are terrified of AGW (That’s anthropogenic (human induced (caused)) global warming) -
New York will be under water. Algore says so. Their mecca, the city to which they pray, will disappear under a mile of water. And the thought of a world without New York is just intolerable to them.
Unless New York is threatened by Islamists, in which case the bastards had it coming.
Given this, I hereby extend an invitation to Venezuelan women (18-24 años por favór) looking for a sponsor to get out before Hugo slams the gate shut. I have sufficient accommodations for one such woman. Knowledge of English a plus, but not necessary.
Please send photo with request for asylum.
64,000 miles, and I gotta replace my rims. Why? Due to a manufacturing defect, they have corroded and pitted, and now not only do they look like shit (which I was willing to put up with) but they will no longer hold pressure. I’ve already cut one tire down because of it.
And now I’ve got an at least $1,000 unplanned expenditure to deal with.
And VW says “There’s nothing we can do about it given the age and mileage of the car.”
Fuckers.
w00t!!!
Bedroom – all but the window treatments are done, which means that all
construction in the bedroom is done.
Office – ditto. Curtains and some cleaning, and this room’s complete.
The final moulding went up yesterday in both rooms. Once some clean has been committed, maybe I’ll take pictures.
Oh, and the living room has officially started. Ceiling painted, next up – walls. Then carpet, and the video games can come back out of hiding!
Molly Ivins, serial mutilator of the English language, has passed on.
Good riddance. This woman could not string together a simple opinion column without devolving to insults about republicans after the third sentence. Everything she wrote was dripping with hate. For this, she was rewarded with accolades by the sycophantic press. She managed to publish several books (most about how much she hates Republicans, and especially George W. Bush). I began my disdain of print media because of her inability to write intelligently.
I, for one, won’t miss her.
I am at war with the food industry. The food with which I presently battle is the scourge known as ‘high fructose corn syrup’. It’s in every damn thing (thanks to generous government subsidies to ADM making it cheaper than cane sugar (which is also highly subsidised, but I digress)). Cookies, bread, soda, even some fruit juices.
I had a few safe havens, like Chocolate (which won’t set with corn syrup – no crystals), beer, chips, fruit. When I had trouble finding plain old bread that didn’t have the evil substance in it, I went straight for the bagels.
I thought I’d be safe if I went with traditionally Jewish foods, due to the enhanced strictness of dietary law during Passover. I know that some stuff, like Coca-Cola are made with cane sugar just for the Passover holiday, and HFCS for the remainder of the year.
Which leads to my assumed outrage. Bagels are being made with High Fructose Corn Syrup! Don’t lecture me that they can’t eat bagels during passover anyhow, so it doesn’t matter. I figured that the one food most associated with Jews (after matzoh) would be at least free from the scourge of corn syrup.
Only one brand that I could find in a bag don’t use the stuff. And those you gotta cook when you get them home. Which is a pain in the ass.
Oh, and I’ve lost 10 pounds just by getting HFCS out of my diet entirely, so there is a point to all of this ranting.
