The only "problem" i see with her is that on tv she seems to be falling into the same trap that Jenny McCarthy did. she's a hot chikc on tv who thinks she's funnier than she really is.

I'm in a bit of a crunch, and I haven't paid enough attention to the Filibuster to figure out where the catch-all went so I threw it in here. I'm looking for a speech McCain made on March 25, 2008 entitled "John McCain's Remarks on Economic Woes"...you can find the speech in text at realclearpolitics.com...anyways, I've obviously got the article, but I'd like to find the video of the speech if possible. If you know where it is, I'll cuddle with you for a night instead of Heads.

Stopped looking for it.

I thought most guys preferred head over cuddleing anyway? Oh wait, he said heads. Sorry, my mistake.

did anyone else find this past Sunday's Family Guy funny??? With "The Bird" song coming up a few times in the episode it made me chuckle every time even when i knew it was coming.

 

I thought it was a decent episode. Surfin' Bird is a great song, though.

Yes, you. You sick f***er. On Wednesday morning I emerged from my girlfriend's building by U.N. Plaza to find that you had sawed the tops off both the sparkplugs on my motorcycle. At the time, I had no idea why anyone would do that. Other than the sparkplugs, the bike was untouched. Some kind of bizarre vandalism? A fraternity prank gone awry? I had no idea. All I knew is that I looked like a huge douchebag riding the Muni to work in a padded motorcycle jacket and helmet.

 

Because the bike was immobilized I got a $35 street sweeping ticket that night. Thursday I had it towed to the shop ($45) where they replaced the sparkplugs and the boots ($50 including labor). They explained to me that "people" - I use the term loosely here - like you break off the tops of spark plugs and use the porcelain tubes to smoke crack. As an engineer and former MacGyver fan, in a way I think this is kind of cool. But then I remember that I just paid $100 for YOUR crackpipes, and I get angry again.

 

Crackhead, it was really good to have my bike back though. I rode home from the shop with a couple of spare sparkplugs and a smile on my face. I figured the next time I parked at my girlfriend's place overnight I would have to buy some crackpipes and tape them to my bike as a peace offering. Overall, I wasn't that upset. Despite having to ride the bus for three days and dropping a hundred bones at the shop, I had gained some fascinating knowledge, a new set of sparkplugs, and a pretty funny anecdote about how f***ed up you are, and how our paths once crossed briefly in the night.

 

But you couldn't just let sleeping dogs lie, could you Crackhead. You couldn't just stay in on Friday, watch Letterman through the window of a home electronics store and then call it a night. You couldn't rest on your laurels. Two porcelain sparkplug crackpipes just wasn't enough for you, was it Crackhead? You just had to come back for more.

 

This morning, a scant fifteen hours after I rode it out of the shop, I found my motorcycle violated once again. This time you only took the right one - maybe you were having an off night. At least this time I had a spare sparkplug and the tools to fix it - or so I thought - having ordered a 73-piece toolset from SEARS.com last week. But no, the sparkplug socket in my new toolset was for American sparkplugs. So I had to go down to the neighborhood Ace hardware. They had an 18mm socket that would fit over my sparkplug, but it was for a 1/2" drive ratchet. My toolkit only has 1/4" and 3/8" ratchets. So I had to buy a 1/2" ratchet along with the socket. Even though the clerk took pity on me and gave me the senior citizen discount (I'm 25) it still cost me $22 all told. Now, you might say that I should have just gotten a 3/8"-to-1/2" drive adaptor instead of springing for the whole ratchet. And to that I say "Shut the hell up, Crackhead, I'm not finished. And besides, I was eventually going to buy a 1/2" ratchet anyway so it's probably not worth it to take it back now."

 

OK, now I'm rambling. But the point is, Crackhead, that you have done me wrong. Now, I get that you love crack. That is totally understandable. I've heard it is really fun, at first, and quite addictive. What I don't understand is,

 

YOU ARE A CRACKHEAD. WHY DON'T YOU OWN A CRACKPIPE?

 

I am an engineer. Do you ever see me shaking down bums in the Loin for a calculator and sliderule? No, you don't. Because engineering is the main thing I do, I went and bought myself a calculator. The main thing you do is crack. How do you get by without a crackpipe? The other crackheads must clown on you non-stop. I mean, the f***ing saw you used to saw off my sparkplugs is probably worth five or ten bucks. Why not sell or trade it for a crackpipe? You really haven't put much thought into this, have you?

 

Please, Crackhead, please don't tell me you sold your crackpipe to buy crack. Even a stupid crackhead such as yourself couldn't possibly be that stupid.

 

I've decided that taping crackpipes to my motorcycle would be tantamount to appeasement. You have crossed a line, Crackhead - specifically California Street. You have come onto my own street and you have desecrated that which I hold dear. You have stolen from me, and you have caused me to spend the last half hour writing this post instead of engineering s***, and it is concievable, if not likely, that my boss could find out about this and fire me. I am hella pissed at you dude.

 

Here are my options as I see them:

 

1. Write a note saying that I have coated both of my sparkplugs in rat poison and tape it to my bike at night. You can thank Tim for that one, it was his idea.

 

2. Don't write a note, but just coat both sparkplugs in rat poison. This is probably closer to a punishment that would fit your despicable crime. I'm sure this is super illegal and s***, but it's not like anyone is going to miss you, Crackhead. Don't fool yourself.

 

3. Wait in an alley near my bike armed with my new stainless steel mirror-finish Ace Professional brand 1/2" drive socket wrench, my 18mm sparkplug socket, and my searing rage. It's pretty heavy and well balanced. I am not a large man, but I am angry.

 

In conclusion, Crackhead, why don't you just do both of us a favor and buy yourself a crackpipe? It will both enhance your crack smoking experience and save me a lot of time and felony assault charges. Think about it.

 

Sincerely,

Matt

Today I was helping my wife out at an event for the plainfield Humane Society. It was an open house for a new strip mall, and the HSP had a table there with a few of the dogs, an available for adoption list, donation container, etc. It was fun, talking with people, showing off a cute dog to people (7 month old beagle available, if anyone is interested.) All in all a good morning and early afternoon. On the way home, however, my car got rearended by another driver. Everyone seemed fine, however after looking at the cars, I am supremely disappointed with Mitsubishi. My Galant has the back bumper barely hanging on, the trunk is bent 9 ways to sunday, the taillights smashed, and the rear quarter panels are dented where the bumper and trunk met them. Her car, a Prius, was barely scratched. A big dent in the middle of the front bumper, and some scratches, but not even an airbag deployment. Glad she has insurance, and not with some cheapo place like Eagle.

If you walked away without any discomfort or injury be happy with your car. The goal of the car design is to protect the passengers and to that goal, it sacrifices itself and takes the impact.

Oh, I am happy about that, just more suprised i guess at the disparity in damage. I guess that ugly eco car is a tough hunk of metal.

My dad adopted a Newfoundland from a Nefie Rescue in Wisconsin on Saturday. I dont think I have ever met a bigger sweetheart in my life. Its 185 pounds of teddy bear. And its really surprising because he had a tough life so far

A poor segue I know but, don't you just hate it when you throw up and it goes into your sinuses?

 

That is pain, man.

I have thrown up twice in my entire adult life. Both times there was much alcohol involed, and that stuff might have been in my brain cavity and I wouldn't have known it.
