In front line combat and in support roles, a lot of fine folks have given up a part of their lives so you can sit on your can in relative peace and watch Reality shows.
To all of them and to all of you poor dumb bastards who have served and are serving at this moment.
Thanks.

edit. Made some corrections when i got home and realized i got some of the old birds mixed up.

Priceless

I didn't get to watch the game. But from the Play by Play it doesn't look like there were many problems. Just a failure to get into the endzone.

Must take the good times with the bad I suppose.
Ironically i'm a lifelong Cubs Fan.

More on that later this evening...

Woot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

Please bookmark this journal for reference at the end of the season.

I have mad installation skillz
Phear my use of the 'next' button.

The court vs the 10 commandments stone is/has the dumbest thing i've seen in the news in a while.
These fools bowing down before the thing praying smells more like Idolatry than anything.

While the words may be significant they aren't destroying them by removing the stone.

Fundie Fools are making the rest of us look bad.

1. Shackleton Expedition
2. Apollo 13 mission
3. Some dude cutting off his own limb to get out of a jam.
4. ?

Although it is the holy grail of self love among males, Get your mind out of the gutter.

Today i smoked pork ribs of such splendor that I don't know if i'll ever be able to top it.
I have my dry rub pretty much perfected.
But I think I'm ready to graduate from my brinkman to a bigger smoker.

Any other smokers out there with any thoughts?

Ooh look a spiffy new check for $1200.
Hrmm this is a advance on the child tax credit for this years taxes.
Wait a minute, I figured my withholding and estimated payments back in february figuring the tax credit as part of my over all figure.
Well I just need to turn around and send it back on April 15th. I guess the interest earned will cover the amount of postage.

So remember kids if your in a sitation like mine don't blow the "windfall." It may come around to bite you in about 6 months.

I just realized that this could cause an underpayment penalty in the right circumstances. So I guess I need to recalculate everything before quarterlies are due next month. sheesh.

Whomever gave the president the bright idea for this: Thanks for wasting my time.

36 Doesn't feel that bad...

Anyone have any good lists or can point to list that can be a good starting point for a spam filter.
I have to write a bunch of rules for a filter and am too lazy to start from scratch.

Hey at least I'm being honest.

Anyway I see a lot of examples but haven't actually seen a list of blocked hosts, etc...
Something like the supertrick hosts files for blocking popups
Actually I think i'm just looking for a good word list.

What should I get the wife?
