Caution….. Beware….. Avoid the humans at all costs….. Be afraid….. Very afraid.
Huge post
I know that not all of you may struggle to the end of this long post, but a few of you might. The fun stuff is mixed in with the serious stuff.
Two deep comics to mull over today.
http://news.yahoo.com/comics/9chickweedlanehttp://news.yahoo.com/comics/candorvilleDid you know that many non-living things have a gender? For example:
1) Ziploc Bags -- They are Male, because they hold everything in, but you can see right through them.
2) Copiers -- They are Female, because once turned off, it takes a while to warm them up again. It's an effective reproductive device if the right buttons are pushed, but can wreak havoc if the wrong buttons are pushed.
3) Tire -- Male, because it goes bald and it's often over-inflated.
4) Hot Air Balloon -- Male, because, to get it to go anywhere, you have to light a fire under it and, of course, there's the hot air component.
5) Sponges -- Female, because they're soft, squeezable and retain water.
6) Web Page -- Female, because it's always getting hit on.
7) Subway -- Male, because it uses the same old lines to pick people up.
8) Hourglass -- Female, because over time, the weight can shift to the bottom.
9) Hammer -- Male, because it hasn't changed much over the last 5,000 years, but it's handy to have around.
10) Remote Control -- Female. Ha! You thought it'd be male. But consider this -- it gives a man pleasure, he'd be lost without it, and while he doesn't always know the right buttons to push, he keeps trying.
Jews
In yesterday’s post I linked to a site where Anonymous said... "Bassem, after reading some of these nutcase Jews responding to your blog, I know more than ever that the Jews are the scum of history.
Ramses II, the Romans, the Arabs of the Conquest, Western Christians from the spread of Christianity to Europe through the Renaissance, Martin Luther, (read his On the Jews and their Lies), Hitler, the Palestinians--all knew what what evil these people bear in their birth.
The Jews are a human virus. Wherever they go, whatever they do--they are despised, and rightly so. They covet. Their recent acquisition of the United States will, hopefully, be its downfall.
I ask the Jew: why are you so hated? It is because you are so good? So misunderstood? So loved by humanity in different times and different peoples? You are hated because you covet. That you killed Jesus is perhaps your only redeeming grace.
Jew, do you think you are liked in America? Does the glutton Jerry Falwell love you because you are god's people? And Hagee, another glutton, the same. Pat Robertson, the senile soldier of Israel, loves you as much as these other dimwit flatearther evangelicals.
They will delight when your flesh burns off your bones. That they have changed their tune about the Jew in the past few decades means they can adapt.
But, Jew, Palestine will indeed be returned to the Palestinians, and Hizbullah, did not, as the Jew of the Holocaust, open the doors of the trains to enter. Hizbullah fought, fought valiantly, and won just as excellently.
History has not come to an end, but you, Jew, you will be the victims of history, lo it takes centuries to end you and your coveting ways."
Interesting, I haven’t studied the Jewish religion all that much, and I’m not going to start now as I see no point in studying religions that clearly have insanity’s in them. But I think that the man that posted that comment is a might confused. There are many that are greedy and covet, not just Jews. I doubt that there are anymore Jews in America (per population) practicing capitalism and greed than there are Christians, Muslims, Buddhists, Atheists, and Agnostics. Greed and coveting knows no boundaries, it’s a human condition. I think Capitalists is a more appropriate term than Jew.
A young American tourist goes on a guided tour of a creepy old castle. At the end of the tour the guide asks her how she enjoyed it. She admits to being a bit worried about seeing a ghost in some of the dark cobwebby rooms and passages.
"Don't worry" says the guide, "I've never seen a ghost all the time I've been here."
"How long is that?" asks the girl.
"About three hundred years."
Itsy Bitsy God
Itsy bitsy god, pretty much describes what each of you are. It’s also a blog handle, she is an athiest, her itsy bitsy god is her little dog. Cute blog.
http://itsybitsygod.blogspot.com/I left the following comment there.

Yeah, I'm here. But I'm just as itsybitsy as you are. Sad, but that is how things are on this planet. You don't have to believe in me, but I still believe in you. BBC
A buddy of mine was telling me about his recent trip to confession.
"It was surreal," he said. "I went into the confessional and said, 'forgive me father for I have sinned. It's been two weeks since my last confession and in that time I've been impatient with my wife and children.'
The priest issued a penance of 5 Our Fathers and absolved me. I was so shocked," he said, "that I blurted, 'Wow, Father, that's a nice, light penance.' The priest said, "Well, it's not like you were butt-fucking."
Vices/Virtues
The problem with people who have no vices is that generally you can be pretty sure they're going to have some pretty annoying virtues.
Hate no one; hate their vices, not themselves.
The greatest minds are capable of the greatest vices as well as of the greatest virtues.
What luck for rulers that men do not think.
Ambition is a poor excuse for not having sense enough to be lazy.
There is no pleasure in having nothing to do; the fun is in having lots to do and not doing it.
Far from idleness being the root of all evil, it is rather the only true good.
Never be entirely idle; but either be reading, or writing, or praying or meditating or endeavoring something for the public good.
How to spook a woman
It’s easy to spook a woman, just tell you love her. Not long after you meet her, it really freaks them out. Believe me, I’ve experienced this a lot. Too many women have a sort of sickness in them. They don’t want to talk about love until they have been to bed with you, and then they get this sick attachment to you that they think must be love.

I haven’t tried this with glycerine yet, found it on the web at,
http://parents.berkeley.edu/advice/playing/bubblerecipe.htmlTry this recipe for soap bubbles 1/2 cup Joy or Dawn liquid detergent; 5 cups water and 2 tablespoons glycerine (from the pharmacy; it makes the bubbles stronger).
I do know this, I have some Joy here so I mixed up some and it makes wonderful bubbles. And this, warm bubble soap works better than cold bubble soap. The kittens are a bit confused by them so it’s fun to tease them with them. I’ve mentioned this before but the record for keeping a soap bubble alive is 341 days.
You know, I often get more and better wisdom, love, insights, and such, out of the comics than I do out of the news.
Positive
There is one positive thing about me, and you, being on the Internet so much. We aren’t harming the planet in other ways.
Most say U.S. isn't ready for disaster
WASHINGTON - Their confidence shaken by Katrina, most Americans don't believe the nation is ready for another major disaster, a new AP-Ipsos poll finds.
So? Why depend on others to be ready. Have you done everything you can do to get through a major disaster the best you can? I’m sure I could be better prepared, but I’m better prepared than many folks. I keep a few hundred gallons of water handy, plenty of food, camping gear, propane, firewood. A solar panel and some twelve vote lights, things like that. And I live in an area that isn’t prone to natural disasters, people that live on the coasts where mother nature needs the areas to make this planet work right are just asking for her too kick their butts. New Orleans should just be moved, they where told not to build there back when they started building that city. Why should taxpayers pay for their stupidity? Help can only get to people so fast, prepare yourself and you won’t have many worries.
NEW YORK (Reuters) - While researchers have long shown that tall people earn more than their shorter counterparts, it's not only social discrimination that accounts for this inequality -- tall people are just smarter than their height-challenged peers, a new study finds.
Interesting study, so why do I know so many stupid tall people? There must be many exceptions as I know some pretty smart short people. I’m 5’ 9", I don’t consider that tall, or short, but I think I’m smart enough in some ways. Studies like this are a waste of time.
Bob Vale
I went to the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship Sunday. They did a tribute to Bob Vale, he died last year. I know that you didn’t know Bob Vale, but I’m sure that you know someone like him. Bob was one of those folks that just loved people more, and did more for the common good than others do. I filled one of the vacant spaces Bob left (and he left many), but I don’t think for a moment that I ever made a pimple on Bob’s butt. He was involved in quite a few of the church programs here, and had articles in the religious section in the local rag at times. But he wasn’t religious, as in supporting a Christian or Muslim belief. He was just spiritual is all.
There isn’t a day goes by but what I don’t think about all the killing on this planet. Not a week goes by but what I don’t think about a lady that ate her baby so that she could keep living. That is what bothers me about the Unitarian Universalists, they don’t work on these things hard enough. And don’t get me started on their seven principles. What seems important to most of them (to me) is that they have really nice homes, cars, places of congregation, money for frivolous trips, fancy meals, and things like that. Then maybe if they have a little extra money they might send it to help others. They act like ecologists but they really are pretty hard on the planet. They don’t believe in much of anything, preferring to always be seeking instead, they have been doing that for thousands of years.
The president of the local chapter of The Insane Chicks Society that I keep mentioning was at both the Peace Rally on Saturday, and at the UU Fellowship I attended on Sunday. I was busy making soap bubbles at the rally, but she did come over and talk to me a little. About nothing heavy or personal, just bullshit is all. She can’t talk to me on a complex personal level, I’m way over her head. She doesn’t get warmth and affection, and god forbid that we would talk about sex. A sixty-four old woman that can’t talk about sex? This girl has problems. And she isn’t spiritual, just keeps saying things like "I don’t know."
At the Fellowship she didn’t speak to me as we didn’t sit together, she did look my way a few times and smiled real big. I didn’t stick around after the service for coffee or she might have spoke to me then, or not. She told me one day that she doesn’t get into anything that she can’t have control over, as in make to be the way she wants it to be. Okay sweetie-pie, take your best shot. Life is about lessons, pay attention now, I’m not your average lesson.
It doesn’t matter though, she is going back to California for six months soon, to work as a probation officer, telling other men what to do I suppose. And will be joining a local chapter of the Insane Chicks Society there.
Love it or leave it?
We all hear this at times, if you don’t love America, leave it. Why in the hell should I? I was born here. Our ancestors left the country’s they didn’t love and came here and messed this country up. There is the whole problem in a nutshell, they should have stayed where they where and fixed those country’s. I’m not frigging leaving just because some right wing Christian or patriotic idiot thinks I should. I’ll stay here and do what I can to fix things. So there you crackpots, I’m not the problem, you are, fuck you.
Politics
Being a liberal is no better than being a right wing conservative, they are just two extremes. Too be moderate is best, and that is what I strive to be. But as long as there are right wing conservatives there has to be liberals to create a balance of moderation.
Lot’s of folks try to fix things through politics, quite a few of the blogs I visit are political in nature. But I contend that we cannot fix things through politics until we get a lot more spiritual. We keep voting in Christians for one thing, how is this supposed to fix things when they have an insanity in them?
http://no-thinking.blogspot.com/Made the statement "Damn, why do I pay attention to such political nonsense."
Well, because you think that you can help fix things through politics? Good luck with that considering the choices you get to vote for. If you want to fix this country, this world, go to a Salvation Army soup kitchen line and pull out some of the Mensa members there that society has knocked down. Put them in office, they will do a much better job.
Over at Swiftspeech ‘Wednesday’ posted that Bush likes to tell fart jokes.
http://swiftspeech.blogspot.com/So G. W. Bush likes to tell fart jokes, I could care less what jokes he likes, or who he screws. I don’t have any problem with that at all. My problem with him is that as one of the world’s leaders he is a fucking idiot.
I’m not sure
I’m not sure that we should strive to be all that intelligent or educated. I get around a lot, and I meet a lot of different people. It just seems to me that not so bright people are often more happy than the rest of us. So maybe we should just relax and enjoy each other?
If we're growing we're always going to be out of our comfort zone.
With the rest of my upper teeth being removed the other day, I’m limited as to what I can eat for a while. Sunday morning I sucked down a can of tomato soup. Then on the way home in the afternoon after going to the UU Fellowship and doing some painting at George’s I stopped at a C-store and got a bottle of chocolate milk and a pint of chocolate ice-cream. So guess what my poop looks like. LOL
Hard Days
We all have days that seem endlessly difficult and hard. On these days, it is as if the odds are stacked against us and we just can't get a break as one challenging situation follows another. We may feel like we're standing in the ocean getting hit by wave after wave, never able to get a full breath. Sometimes it's necessary or worth it to stay in the fray and work our way through. Other times, the best idea is to go home and take the breath we need in order to carry on.
If the only choice is to get through it, a hard day can be a great teacher. It will eventually end and we can look back on it, taking pride in the stamina, courage, and ingenuity it took to hold our ground. We may also look back and see how we could have done things differently. This knowledge will be valuable when we face hard days in the future. Trust your gut as you're deciding whether to work through it, and know that sometimes a timely retreat is the best way to ensure a positive outcome. Getting space can remind us that external circumstances are not the whole picture. Once we catch our breath and re-center ourselves, we will be able to determine our next move. With a little perspective, we may even find the inner resources to change our attitude about what's happening. We may begin to see that what we saw as hardships are actually opportunities. As our attitude changes for the better, our actions and the circumstances will follow suit.
Sometimes all that's needed is a good night's sleep. No one is immune to having a hard day and these are usually the times we can learn the most. If we can find it in our hearts to examine the day, and maybe make one small change in perception, we can ease our pain and greet the next day that much wiser.
Some people are like Slinkies...
Not really good for anything......
But they still bring a smile to your face
When you push them down a flight of stairs.
Yup, some people are just on this planet to entertain the rest of us. :-)
Oh man, I have way too much stuff around here, I can’t find the things I want because they are buried under other things. I think I will just get rid of a lot of this stuff. I’ll put a table on the other side of my fence and fill it up, with a free sign on the fence.
If any of you see my mind wandering around out there, would you please tell it to get its ass home before it gets dark?
SPEAK OUT BECAUSE SILENCE = COMPLICITY!
And damn it !!! Stop missing the fact that I say that WE are God in evolution. Well, maybe not the rest of those idiots.
So, did you make it to the end of this? BBC
