Call me stodgy, call me humorless, but I officially hate April Fools.
Don't get me wrong, an opportunity to play petty and vaguely cruel pranks on your peers with impunity is cool and all, but we seem to have turned that sophomoric playground into "I'm really not funny, but I don't know it." day. One unfunny guy, is doable, half a dozen tolerable, but with...

"In America every man is free
To take care of his home and his family
You'll be as happy as a monkey in a monkey tree
You're all gonna be an American"

along with the heavy truth comes a wave of despair... no more smoke and mirrors here, true... but all our hands are tied... we are all chained somehow... Knowledge is the only real freedom that exsists...wrapping ourselves up in no chains but our own. heavy heavey truth. heavy heavy chains.

An "I love America!" sticker put out by the Good Sam club.
For those of you unfamiliar with the Good Sam club, its kinda like AAA for the RV and Trailer set. They help each other with breakdowns, get travel discounts and so on.
For those of you unfamiliar with Luke 10:25, its an exhortation against xenophobia, provincialism...

So, as noted, I'm sick. I don't like being sick, and I especially hate being feverish. Being feverish tends to give me repetative, nonsensical and oftentimes surreal dreams. Not nightmares, precisely, just very vivid and convoluted variations on a theme.
Last might I dreamed that souljacker was a lobyist for Paraguay. He wouldn't admit it of course, and every time I asked him he denied...

Did you notice that Stockula is no longer with us?
I'm sick and I'm cranky and nothing interesting has happened to me.
I did however put up some new pictures, including one's from Borneo that I've been procrastinating on for six months.
Feed me soup.

So I'm at work the other day around 2:45. Sometimes we leave the television on after we do a demo and it usually ends up on some random channel. So I'm not sure what staion it was... (but I know it was a some major network, not a cable channel), and I see a commercial for KY Jelly 
I don't watch much TV anymore, but I know there's been huge controversy lately and supposedly Mike Powell and co. are cracking down on a lot of people for there content.
For some reason I think I'd like to hear you comment on this.

Everybody pretty much knows about LAs car chase fetish. The collective unconcious of this place seems breed a "I may be headed to Chino, but look ma, I'm on TV!" mentality.
Tonight I got find out excactly how CHiPs deals with this. Lets face it, LA has more square miles of highway than most cities have city and you cant just shut them down, you'd...

It's called a round robin and it is very effective and the best way to keep your ass from getting in the middle of something you dont want to be in.
whip:
Juju's right. They do it all the time, not just for chases. Accidents, stalled cars... when they are bored. It gives a chance for people up ahead to do what ever they need to do, like move from the median to the shoulder, or or a stalled car to get towed.
Pain in the ass and definately freaky when you see it for the first time.

Yeah I'm happy again! You are brilliant (and handsome to boot). Your wife (?) is beautiful and your baby is adorable. You help to restore my faith in humanity.
To put this in context, I just came from the Against Gay Marriage thread involving ClarkKent.

Perfect LA moment last evening:
I'm coming home from work and a white fuzzy thing in the corner of my eye catches my attention. Its a dog, hanging out of the car window next to me.
The driver's side window.
Not just its head, mind you but probably better than half the dog. I look over to see what kind of idiot thinks this is...

I just wanted to say thank you for clearing up the insider trading question I had an idea but I was not sure how it all fit together so I learned something today.
sonofmorrissey:
Well, if that is truly what happened, then I agree with you completely that this is a BS witch hunt. I'll be honest and say that I'm still not %100 convinced that the situation was that benign, and frankly I don't think you and I will ever know for sure. I still have to entertain the notion that she was acting on a tip ( from either Waskal, her broker, or a little magic fairy ) that IMC was specifically losing it's patent prior to that information being made public, which would constitute a much more serious ( but admitidly small potatoes in the grander scheme ) charge. Maybe that scenario really is just CNN fodder ( a 'news' organization I have a healthy skepticism of as is ) and SEC smoke-and-mirrors and I'm just an automaton that bought into it, but I'm still skeptical of her level of knowledge prior to the sale. The trouble she took to cover this up seems kinda of high if all she did was follow her brokers advice. I have to believe that that jury saw evidence of a pretty descent attempt to hide something to convict her on all counts.
But, if it is/was as you say then I owe you a Coke and an apology. In future I'll keep my legal opinions of Martha nd the SEC actions to myself and stick to espousing opinions related to a federal body I know much more about...the OCC.
Off to catch a wave. Peace.

So anyways, thanks for the advice. I've got the thing yanked out and waiting for surgery -- going to see if I can replace the fan or if I have to replace the whole power supply. I'm also seriously considering finally upgrading to something devastatingly intimidating.
