The cat

2012-01-09T16:28:09Z

We were dressed and ready to go out to the New Year’s Eve Party. We turned on a night light and the answering machine, covered our pet parakeet and put the cat in the backyard.

We phoned the local cab company and requested a taxi. The taxi arrived and, as we opened the front door to leave the house, the cat we had put out in the yard scooted back into the house!

We didn’t want the cat shut in the house because she always tries to eat the bird so my wife went out to the taxi while I went back inside to get the cat. The cat ran upstairs with me in hot pursuit.

Waiting in the cab, my wife didn’t want the driver to know that the house would be empty for the night so she explained that I would be out soon, “He’s just going upstairs to say goodbye to my mother.

A few minutes later, I got into the cab. “Sorry I took so long,” I said, as we drove away. “That stupid bitch was hiding under the bed; had to poke her with a coat hanger to get her to come out!

She tried to take off so I grabbed her by the neck. Then I had to wrap her in a blanket to keep her from scratching me! But it worked; I hauled her fat ass downstairs and threw her out into the back yard!”

The cab driver hit a parked car . . .

Just to provoke a little thought….

Chain mail / Chainmaile Weave instructions

2011-12-04T01:13:34Z

Okay, I guess I still had my chainmalle weaves (aka patterns)how to instructions posted on an old domain, but here they are… Depicting the European 4 in 1, 6 in 1, and 8 in 1 weaves, Oriental 4 in 1 and 6 in 1 weaves (these are really cool, time consuming, but cool). Also what was known as king’s maille, and the spiral weaves.

Take a look at Dakar’s Armory.

I’ll post my how-to’s for making the rings themselves. Not sure how the price of metal these days will impact this fascinating hobby. Although I did make a few thousand bucks selling them in bulk on eBay a while back over a year or so, the workload trying to actually turn a profit was enormous. I do have the 4 in 1 chainmaille shirt that I made from 14ga galvanized steel in storage, dang thing weighs around 50lbs! Have to dig that out sometime and get some pics.

The Americans With No Abilities Act (AWNAA)

2011-12-03T13:40:14Z

News release……

Washington, DC November 29, 2011, – The Obama Administration is urging Congress and the Senate to pass sweeping legislation that will provide new benefits for many Americans: The Americans With No Abilities Act (AWNAA). President Obama says he will sign it as soon as it hits his desk.
The AWNAA is being hailed as a major legislative goal by advocates of the millions of Americans who lack any real skills or ambition.
‘Roughly 50 percent of Americans do not possess the competence and drive necessary to carve out a meaningful role for themselves in society,’ said California Senator Barbara Boxer. ‘We can no longer stand by and allow People of Inability to be ridiculed and passed over. With this legislation, employers will no longer be able to grant special favors to a small group of workers, simply because they have some idea of what they are doing. We are legalizing another protected class of Americans.’
In a Capitol Hill press conference, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D) and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D) pointed to the success of the US Postal Service, which has a long-standing policy of providing opportunity without regard to performance. Private-sector industries with good records of nondiscrimination against the Inept include retail sales (72%), the major media (67%), the Hollywood movie industry (92%, this doesn’t include bad taste, smut and porn), the airline industry (68%), and home improvement ‘warehouse’ stores (65%). At the state government level, the Department of Motor Vehicles also has an excellent record of hiring Persons of Inability (a whopping 83%).
Under The Americans With No Abilities Act, more than 25 million ‘middle man’ positions will be created, with important-sounding titles but little real responsibility, thus providing an illusory sense of purpose and performance.
Mandatory non-performance-based raises and promotions will be given so as to guarantee upward mobility for even the most inept employees. The legislation provides substantial tax breaks to corporations that promote a significant number of Persons of Inability into middle-management positions, and gives a tax credit to small and medium-sized businesses that agree to hire one clueless worker for every two talented hires.
Finally, the AWNAA contains tough new measures to make it more difficult to discriminate against the Non-abled, banning, for example, discriminatory interview questions such as, ‘Do you have any skills or experience that relate to this job?’
‘As a Non-abled person, I can’t be expected to keep up with people who have something going for them,’ said Ken Cox, who lost his position as a $70 dollars an hour lug-nut twister at the GM plant in Flint, Michigan, due to his inability to remember ‘righty tightie, lefty loosey.’ ‘This new law should be real good for people like me,’ Cox added. With the passage of this bill, Cox and millions of other untalented citizens will finally see a light at the end of the tunnel.
Said Senator Dick Durbin (D-IL): ‘As a Senator with no abilities, I believe the same privileges that elected officials enjoy ought to be extended to every American with no abilities. It is our duty as lawmakers to provide each and every American citizen, regardless of his or her inadequacy, with some sort of space to take up in this great nation and a good salary for doing so.’
Senator Shaheen (D-NH) elaborated that these are same rights that are currently extended to US Congressmen & Women, US Senators and the current President and Vice President.

Democracy vs. Repblic

2011-11-26T15:55:07Z

Just in case you didn’t know what a Democracy and Republic look like.. this illustration should help clear it up in a hurry. Though offered as humor, there is a lot of inferred meaning, quite thought provoking if you think about the image each time you hear a Liberal/Democrat call our REPUBLIC a Democracy.

Logic 101

2011-11-18T00:12:48Z

An interesting letter in the Australian Shooter Magazine this week:

“If you consider that there has been an average of 160,000 troops in the Iraq Theater of operations during the past 22 months, and a total of 2112 deaths, that gives a firearm death rate of 60 per 100,000 soldiers.

The firearm death rate in Washington, DC is 80.6 per 100,000 for the same period. That means you are about 25 per cent more likely to be shot and killed in the US capital which has some of the strictest gun control laws in the U.S., than you are in Iraq.

Conclusion: The U.S.should pull out of Washington.
