Thanksgiving day is tomorrow! Turkey day! Whoopee, except I don't like turkey all that much. I like the other stuff though, like ham, string beans, squash and mince meat pie. Seems like I'm the only one that likes mince meat pie, but then, I'm the only one who brings it.

Thanksgiving always reminds me of deerhunting and deer camp because Thanksgiving and deer season fall...

"W-a-r-r-i-o-r-s, come out and p-l-a-y--y-e-e--y-a-y!"

Awesome flick! Yah, the fight scenes are stylized, and some of the gangs' colors are somewhat unbelievable, but when one is watching a legend come to life, suspension of disbelief is permissable. Of course, Xenophon's "Anabasis" isn't exactly a myth, but the accomplishments of the 10,000 were the stuff of legend. Even back in Socrates's day, Iraq and it's neighbors...

I just took my annual bath. I discovered my skin really isn't scaly, orc green. And I have a nose! Life is full of disappointments!

One of the girls at the store is going to have a baby boy, and she and her husband have already picked out his name. He'll be called Ryder, a good, manly name. I kid her and say that they...

Halloween went pretty well. About 100 kids showed up at the door threatening mayhem if I didn't fork over the loot. It was a typical Halloween night, with the little ones stumbling through the rain and darkness all decked out in cute, soggy costumes. My porch was decorated with pumpkins and flashing lights to warn the little beggars off, but they came anyway.

In the...

I am Jack's furious and tormented fist.

These times will pass.

Echo you know is on vacation.

She's pissed off.
shamanwolf:
I'ts not a massive secret, She helped me locate
a few items that I had been searching for, for a hobby of mine.

Boy that was more cryptic that the last entry!

She helped me locate a piece of SG merch I was after.

It was nearly a heart melting moment but I have been totally consumed by The Dark Side and nothing will ever bring joy to me again.

My friend I am too lost to love or save.

Before we get too weepy over old Pooper, I ought to mention that I still have a yellow lab and four cats. Scrappy, the dog, was bequeathed on me by my son, and Scrappy was never as well trained as P.P.P.P. He's an outdoor dog, but we still have fun together. It's funny to watch him walk because he waddles like a duck.

You can...

grrr, Ive worked a SHITLOAD of retail in my life ... and Im now in hospitality/food business, which is equally as frustrating. Ppl are such savage BEASTS!! I know women are worse, there are probably 3x the amount of women shoppers as there are men, therefor ... the women do more damage.
sky:

It was a year ago that my dog passed away, and I still miss old Pooper. His name was Poor Pitiful Poopy Puppy, or P.P.P.P. for short.

He was the smartest animal who ever owned me, and was a real friend. He was a black lab, so I could never get a decent picture of him because he blended with the shadows. I got him...

I think labs are like .. one of the top 10-20 smartest dogs there are out there, according to this list I read the other day. I think theyre considered smart because theyre easily trainable, whereas some dogs are smart for other reasons ... like common sense smart or problem solving skills ..

anyways .. Im sorry to hear abt your dog frown losing your friends arent easy, especially when they just dont live anywhere NEAR the amount of time you'd like them to
sky:
how are you doing?
hope things are okay...

...and as for love. I'm avoiding it at all costs.

This is for Sky, and as such it might be a work in progress.

Any honor left in war?

The old cliche that all is fair in love and war was true, is true and will be true for as long as people love and fight. Honor in war is a weapon, and like all weapons, it goes in and out of fashion. If honor...

Eeks! Halloween is approaching! Where are those blasted decorations, anyway? Candy! I need to get treats for those little demons!

Cracked me up, the first time I heard my grandkids in Australia call candy lollies! Then I see a picture of Sky eating a lollie, and I think of them. Wonderful! The world really isn't all that big, and we'd better take care of it,...

the DaVinci code was pretty good. I got around to reading it in the end because i was convinced eventually someone would ruin the ending for me if i didnt hurry up and get on with it.

I'm "enjoying" black hawk down. I'm not far in, and i cant genuinely say "enjoy" because it's really quite gruesome, and it would feel wrong to enjoy it.. but it is incredibly well written, and given that my seminar presentation is going to be on "is there any honour left in war?", it should be quite relevant

Had a nice quiet birthday, though I did have to work. My brother got me a miniatures game, and we had fun with that.

Today is my granddaughter's birthday. She's a whole ten years old! I sent her a bunch of dolls and stuff. She's now getting at an age where it's going to be tough for me to pick things out for her.

Anyone...

I checked out Apnea's pictures just to see what the fuss was about. What a bunch of c__p (censored)!

I've expressed my views in comments to some of the girls. What is happening to my country? Evil is triumphant!

Happy Birthday!
My dad, who is a retired air force colonel and a lifelong republican (and born the same year as you incedentally) is pissed off. He was a big Reagan fan. But now he's telling me he thinks the American People should engineer a revolution and overthrow the current administration, who he says is evil. He's quoting Thomas Jefferson to me now. Things were a lot simpler back then when you could just show up with a musket and revolt. What do we do now? Psionics?
sky:
well you better get in training then wink
thank you for the comment on my set

Saw Batman Begins last night, and thought it ranks right up there with the Keaton Batman. Still debating in my mind whether it was better.

Indeed, we already have. It does scream of MacCarthy-ism though. It screams of a whole lot of implications. It makes me scream in fear. I fucking wigged out when he intervened on the Schiavo case. I'm fucking wigging out now that we are wasting money, tax paying dollars no less, because people like to wank it to on line porn. Hello? How about worrying about the current national disasters, or better fucking yet, how about getting our soldiers some actual GOOD armor that can help protect them. How is that for a novel thought?

Gak. Sorry. I'm feeling terribly vicious about this whole ordeal. People are dying, we have cities under water, we are at war, and yet, we are chasing the porn industry around because.... *sigh*

Maybe I will decide to stay in Antarctica longer.

Thanks for listening.

Have you ever waited at a railroad crossing for a mile long train, and wondered who spray paints the graffitti on the sides of the freight cars? Amazing stuff, if only I could read some of it. The letters are so stylized, I can't make out half of it. But I still admire the skill and technique. I wonder sometimes if the RR companies hire...
