Has a better snack ever been invented?

This is one police chase that just smacks of the sort of things Mel Brooks and company would dream up. Link

I'm home. I haven't yet made the trip to the grocery store so the cupboard is bare. So what the hell do I want for dinner? I could go to Wendy's and get something. It's only about a half a block from here. I could order pizza. Here the choices open up some. Papa John's or Hungry Howie's? What kind? Pepperoni? Cheese? Hawaiian? I could order Chinese, but they require a minimum $15 order for delivery and I don't think I'm THAT hungry. I do have a bag of brown rice in the cupboard an...

I was never exactly a cat lover until I got Socrates, but I have to admit he's pretty cool. So, do you like cats? Why or why not?

Was playing around with my desktop graphics and kinda like the results.

Thanks to Dr. Guy for reminding me of this one. Several years ago my girlfriend, who bowled on a league, and I went bowling with some friends. It had been planned for a week or so and as I hadn't been bowling since I was a kid I didn't own a ball or shoes or any of the usual stuff. During the week I had purchased a ball and had it drilled, some shoes, and a bag. The night came and we started bowling. My turn came and I followed my girlfriend's instructions, approached the line, took my ...

As my hip was hurting a good bit this morning, I got out the vicoden I've had stashed back. The bottle only had two pills in it and Ive had them for a pretty long time now, maybe 7 or 8 months. They were prescribed at 2 pills every 8 hours. I took the two of them with my morning coffee hoping they would ease the pain in my hip a bit. They did help some. After eating my lunch I cracked open a brew. Just about the time I finished the second beer I feel a pretty healthy buzz and that's when I...

Last night I was tinkering around with my desktop. I tried some new icons and graphics. It wasn't a radical change, but I thought it looked nice and so I posted a screenshot in my blog. Within a few minutes an Admin removed my screenshot image. WTF? There was nothing obscene, vulgar, or objectionable about my desktop at all. No nudie pic or anything like that. The only reasons I can think of for this is that either this Admin has gotten carried away here, screenshots have suddenly become a...

I volunteer some time at a large and well known Linux help forum to assist people with Linux related technical issues and answering questions related to Linux. They are often newbies who are just learning the OS and need a bit of help, often with some pretty basic things, as they learn the different ways of getting things done in Linux as opposed to Windows. One thread today was a person asking about installing a new version of Firefox. His questions were extremely basic and it was obvious...

I love this person! What a great and humorous way to deal with a neighbor stealing your wireless access. I love it. Link

The lightening and thunder just started about three minutes ago. A very loud crack, a loud peal of thunder,. Socrates diving under the couch,. and me closing the skylights to stop the sudden inpouring of rain. Gotta love living in a tropical climate. I wonder what's gonna burn down this time?

With the release of Vista it's obvious that Microsoft still has no clue about security. This should make you feel all warm and fuzzy. Not. Link

My thanks to Baker for setting me onto this topic. His comment on one of my threads inspired this one. Baker: "I know men that I grew up around that right now if their wives left or died would literally not know how to cook their own supper, sew on a button, or even wash their clothes in their own washer and dryer. To me, THAT is a lot more, well, candy assed. There's always been something effeminate about a grown man-child that needs his wife to be his momma, too, lol." These days mos...

A YouTube I found pretty funny. No sheep were harmed in the making of this film Link

I aired up the tires on the bent to ride down to the corner c-store to stock up on brews for the day/evening. It's obligatory when I'm home ya know. As it's a bit chilly out I threw on one of my Baja jackets and took off. The guy working the register is from some place in the Middle East (he's never actually said what country, he just says the Middle East and I don't press him on it as it's none of my business).. He's a pretty nice guy and has lived in this country long enough that his Eng...
