Change of Pace
"I brought you INTO this world and I can take you OUT!" -Bill Cosby-
HI YALL.....
Well, it's only been mere hours since I posted last, but I wanted to hurry and get something else on here. I mean really, who wants to hear constant whinin, right? So, I got to thinkin about a couple minor things I'd like to add. One, is an opening quote. Another is a "Today in History" footer. For example: Yesterday, July 5, 1935, the US passed into law the Natl. Labor Relations Act, thereby making it legal for workers to organize unions and bargain collectively.
I READ this joke yesterday:
Jim and Bob are a couple of rednecks sittin in a bar. Jim says, "Ya know Bob, I'm tard of bein an uneducated man. Ima gonna go tuh school an learn me sumpin."
So, he heads to the local college and speaks with the admissions officer. The A/O tells Jim, "That's great. It's always good to see someone willing to learn. I'll start you off with some basics in math, English, history and logic."
Jim says, "Logic? Wuzzat?"
The A/O replies, "Well, Jim, logic is rational thinking. For example: Jim, do you own a weed eater?"
"Yeah, I do."
"Well, Jim, then I can logically deduce that you have a yard..."
Jim says, "Wow, yeah I do......"
"Wait, Jim, there's more. Since you have a yard, logically I can assume that you also have a house. If you have a house, I can logically assume that perhaps you have a family."
Again, an amazed Jim says, "That's right... I do..."
"Hold on Jim. If you have a family, then by using logic, I would think that you are a heterosexual man with an interest in females, family, household responsibility.... a man who is concerned about what goes on in his life."
Flabbergasted, Jim says, "That's right... all of it! Wow, I can't believe you got all that outta me havin a weed eater! Sign me up."
Jim went back to the bar and told Bob what courses he was taking. Bob replied, "Wut's logic?"
Jim says, "Well Bob, logic is proper thinkin. I'll show ya: do you own a weed eater?"
Bob says, "No."
With that, Jim says, "Yer queer, aintchya, Bob?"
I thought that was pretty funny... until I realized that *I* don't have a weed eater. Mmmm.. but hey, I DO have a lawn mower... that counts, right?
Hmmm.. skimmin over Google news this morn, it says that ahead of the G8 Summit, Bush meets with the Danish PM. Ya think they ate a Danish for breakfast?
Another artical shows where some bad guy in Idaho has a history of doing bad things to many people even before he was 16. I find that rather interesting. On one hand people say that records of minors should be wiped out because "they're just kids. Give em a fresh start." On the other hand.... heh... I guess the records are just hidden until a news org wants them.
Cute.... this other talks about protests breaking out as leaders arrive for the G8. There's a pic of Bush and the link on the pic goes on about how Bush is determined to continue to be bad. That was from Canada. The link to the headlined article starts in about Blair flying in. Interesting that they are the only 2 leaders mentioned by name amidts the hundreds of protesters wearing masks of leaders from several different countries. Hey, I wanna know what the leader of Scotland has done to make protesters wear a mask of HIM. I mean c'mon....
What I DON'T understand, maybe I just hafta be a protester to get it, but what's with the violent protests? I mean, if ya wanna wave a sign sayin "YOU SUCK!"... well, fine. But, according to this article, protesters were smashing cars and tearing up a Burger King. Ok, I can kinda understand wantin to smash a BK. When my (then 9) year old daughter takes it upon herself to go to the counter THREE times to get her order corrected... somethin aint right.
Aiight, I gotta go. I would have some pix, but my upload aint workin right. It goes well until I come to the "complete" screen. Ya hafta click "done" to get the pic posted. Since I never see a "done" button.... well, I aint done.
Later.
