What's in a name?

I swung by the local Burger King and was waited on by a drive-through girl named Sparkle. Yes, that is her real name. It's one thing for your parents to not care about you or your future but that is just messed up. The best part is she took my entire order while on her cell phone... her personal cell phone talking to her friends about how fat she looks (not making this up) in her new pants. BTW, she was fat. It wasn't the pants doing it... it was reality. Her job at Burger King probably didn't help either. She got the order wrong and I had to be parked as well. I got my food and then had the manager come out and talk to me. She acted like she didn't know about the phone but passed the girl on the way out, maybe they have pot as the toy in the kids meal this week. Just to be a pain in the butt I'm going to get a hold of someone at Burger King and make a stink. I am so sick of crappy service around here! I had to work my younger years in Hell... in Buffalo we call McDonald's Hell . It's a local dialect thing. Anyway, I was never thrilled to be there and looking back I think I broke more than a few health codes but I did it with a friggin smile. Just FYI, if you every get a burger and they yell to the back to make it special... don't eat it.

It got me thinking though, how many of us really turned out to be what we thought we'd be in high school? I know that when I was in high school I was very different from who I am now. I know that when I left that place I pretty much left that whole person behind me. I guess everyone does that to a point. It's sad really, so many kids in high school just dying to be accepted, the whole while not even liking themselves. There's a country song in there somewhere but that's for a different time. I know I had my demons to face just like anyone else but at least my parents didn't name me something that stupid! Jeash, I hope they didn't save up too much money for Sparkles college fund. Hey, they could give it all to her in singles!

Anyway, the MIL dropped off some Diet Snapple for us. Remember the ad for Snapple? 'Made from the best stuff on Earth!' Pretty catchy huh? Well, I got one for Diet Snapple.

'Diet Snapple... tastes like shit.'

See, it's bold and honest... it'll stick with you, just like the crappy aftertaste. At least the price was right.

Oh yeah, Sega is making a new Aliens game! I am really excited about this one. It is going to take place right after the second Alians movie... aptly names 'Aliens' and actually be cannon to the movies! No creative license crap (I hope). If they do it right this could be the game of the year in my book. They're even going to put in on-line co-op. If I can I'll get the guys at the office to pick it up and we can do some squad based Alien smacking. Here's hoping!



Lastly, our alarm went off at the house while we were out and ADT gave me a call. After the lady asked my secret question "What are you wearing?" and I gave the secret answer "I don't think that it's appropriate for you to ask me that... but it is lacy." she called the police for us. Thanks to my speed racer-esque driving skills we beat the cops home by about 2 hours. Not making that part up. If they get a call for a home invasion where no one is actually home it drops down the old priority list pretty far. Anyway I decided to sneak into the kitchen, grab the biggest knives I owned and explore the house. According to my slightly gun-nutty co-worker this is the stupidest thing to do in this situation. If my family and I are safe, then why risk any danger by entering the house. We should of waited on the cops... who took 2 hours. Yeah, screw that... I wanted to go stabbida stabbida on whoever was trying to pinch my XBox 360. My buddy asked me what I would of done if one of the would be criminals had a shotgun. I thought that was a stupid question because who brings a shotgun to rob a house... how are you going to carry anything if you have to carry the shotgun you brought. Besides, they would probably have their hands full of all my crap which would give me the advantage... unless they wanted to steal my kitchen knives first.

Anyway, I got through the first floor and everything was still there so I was feeling pretty sure the house was robber free when I remembered that I live in the idiot capitol of the world and there was a pretty good chance that these guys might be upstairs stealing the diaper genie or something. Turns out it was a false alarm... but now I think I'm going to buy a shotgun. I know it wouldn't help in this situation but if there is anything I've learned from George Bush it's that a false sense of security will outweigh common sense any day of the week.

Alcohol my have been involved...

Man claims wombat gave him Australian accent... as an STD

Yep, you read it right. My favorite part of the story is the end. 'Alcohol played a large part in his life'. That is just one more example of why I do not shop at Wal-Mart. Now, there aren't any Wal-Marts in Australia yet... to my knowledge, but as soon as one opens I bet this guy will be there.

In other news I have decided that my Photoshop skills are deplorable and I've decided to brush them up a bit. I started going here for help. It's a cool site full of photoshop tutorials. So far I have attempted a ring of fire and making a flag look wavy... I have accomplished neither. Photoshop one, me zero.Check it out and try making a blue duck. I drew the duck blue because I've never seen a blue duck before. And to be honest, I wanted to see a blue duck.

The good news is that we got the super car back from the shop after everything decided to break on it. No more driving the blue bomber!! We had a leak in the roof, the radio LCD broke and the power steering went out. It was all under warranty but man, I sure feel confident that the rest of the car is built perfectly. I mean, they probably screwed up so bad on those things because they were paying so much attention to the rest of the car! Yep... really confident.

Oh yeah, one more thing.


This is a car that I found in my parking lot at work. Are those hood pins on a late 90's Hyundai? We work in the same building as a non-profit organization called Parent Child. That means I see about 3 to 5 pregnant teenagers every day... which is 2 more than the average San Antonio resident has living in their house. Now, I'm not trying to stereotype but I don't think this car belonged to any of our engineers, well maybe Patrick.

For those of you who don't pretend to know about cars, hood pins are used to hold the hood down at high speeds and allow the cars owner to remove the stock hood latches for reduced weight. Personally, I don't think that car can get fast enough to flip the hood if you launched it off a cliff.

The worst part is, this is by far not the weirdest thing I've seen on a car around here. I actually saw a wooden sports wing on a Sonata. Wooden, as in made of wood. Not kidding. Luckily my phone decided to go retarded and I never got a picture. Oh well, such is life. This is just one of the many reasons I don't drink tap water in this town. I mean... some of these people make being stupid look like a Olympic event

Hill-dawg and the epic fail

Hill-dawg is at it again. She was recently recounting a trip to Bosnia where she had to dodge sniper fire (her words) and sprint to the awaiting motorcade and make it to safety. Unfortunately, reality had to go and screw it up for her once again. Turns out CBS was on the scene and have footage of the landing...




I just don't get it with her. I know that sometimes people in the public eye can forget that the cameras are on them from time to time but... this is getting pretty silly. Does she not remember that most of her life was documented for the last 12 years? Does anyone think that the plane would have even landed if there was sniper fire within miles of the runway? I'm not really for any of the candidates but this lady has some issues. I really don't think that these transgressions are the fault of a crappy staff. You know, people telling her to say the wrong things. These candidates have people who tell their people what to say! So when a candidate says something so wrong you have to assume that she's running with these stories on her own and ignoring her staff.

So what kind of President would that make, especially since we now know she has had very little experience to actually draw on. We really don't want someone who is headstrong and stupid mixed together... that's what we have now and it's not doing to well. I can handle dumb, I deal with dumb people everyday, but when you think you're so smart that you bypass the people that you hired to stop you from saying dumb stuff... that's just too much.

Easter Hunt 2008

That's what Hayden called it and I think it's pretty funny. It makes finding plastic eggs sound... like an X game or something. Anyway, we had a good time. Serenity was sporting her pink dress and sun hat ensemble.



She was easily the cutest girl there, and I'm not just saying that because it is true... I'm also her father. She even found her very own Easter egg!!!

And then decided to eat it.


They also had games at the party like 5yr old plastic egg toss. Now I know what your thinking... "What could possibly go wrong with toddlers chucking eggs at each other from 5 feet away?" Well, to add to the fun, they decided to mix the kids up with a kid that they didn't know... for some stupid reason. I guess it was to intermingle to kids but it turned out to be "when my kid beans your kid in the head with an egg... I don't know you so it's really awkward." Thanks egg toss organizer lady! So this is a action shot of the second after Hayden whacked this kid in the head with an egg. You can still see a piece of the egg falling from the kids head after it blew into pieces.


Yeah, then Hayden had to laugh because the kid didn't "catch his toss." So after that fun we went and had hot dogs and Hayden dug into his stash of eggs. The best part was when he cracked open a hard boiled egg to get the candy out and found a yolk instead. He comes running up to me and says 'Daddy, there's no candy in this one, this BLOWS!' That was about 5 minutes before the church started their ground breaking ceremony and everyone was getting ready to pray. Hayden... the master of comedic timing.

Making friends...

Vice President and leader of the underworld Dick Cheney was recently interviewed by ABC News' Martha Raddatz while in Oman. When asked what he thought about two-thirds of Americans think that the war in Iraq is not worth it he replied 'So?'




I thought we were a government for the people and by the people. No I'm not about to say that we should pull out today, but when our leaders stop taking the views and opinions of the people into consideration we have some problems. Also, what a stupid thing to do! It just looks elitist, 'who cares what the people think... I'm smarter than they are anyway.' I never really thought Cheney was a good Vice anyway. As far as I can tell he's just gone from country to country screwing up our foreign relations.


Then we get this.

Clinton Lie Kills Her Credibility on Trade Policy

This is a great story, apparently Hill-dawg never disapproved of NAFTA like she claims. In fact she held meeting after meeting to drum up support for it. The thing that kills me about this is she can just say that she changed her mind, but instead decided to fabricate this story about how she always knew that this plan would doom America. How she alone had the foresight to see that damage that was to come. She desperately tried to rally support against NAFTA but just didn't have the political weight... if only she would have known someone back then who could have done something about it... if only she has some kind of inside track to the President. If only she was a 22 yr old intern with a blue dress, then she could have caught the Presidents attention and rid us this horrible trade agreement, which is the root of all our problems!

Jeash lady, give it a rest.

Whelp, she's a liar... big surprise there. Now, I'm not saying that these other two yahoo's are any better but... it's like she's not even trying. One of my favorite jokes from a guy called Frank Caliendo. He says 'Bill Clinton was so slick that he could stand in front of an audience and say "I am not here." And they'd buy it.' It's about 2 minutes in but it's worth it.




Man, you'd think he'd teach Hillary that trick. I think I'd rather get the segregated toilets that Obama's pastor wants us to have over Hillary in office.

In any event, I'm going to my friends church to celebrate the resurrection by watching Seri pick up candy filled eggs. It'll make for cute pictures.

I got that music in my soul... or maybe it's just gas.

For as long as I can remember I wanted to play guitar. I actually tired the sax when I was young and that went as well as could be expected. Apparently I don't have what is commonly referred to as 'the musicians ear'... I think I got stuck with the 'swimmers ear' instead. Despite that setback, Joy bought me a guitar recently and I think I'm going to try lessons. The cool thing is I can drag Hayden into it because the have lessons for little kids as well. I don't know how you teach a 5 year old guitar but... he does rock at Guitar Hero! I should start soon, so we'll see how long it lasts.

In other news, we finally got back together with our friends from West Virginia. They stopped by for some burgers and whatnot. I got to show Jeremiah where all the music is hiding on the interweb... it was great because every minute or so he'd remark 'computers can do that?' and that just makes me feel smart.

Joy's really smart and her intelligence is only rivaled for her lack of any interest in what I can make the family puttinator do. So, I'm usually left to pat myself on the back for my latest photoshop or whatever else I'm tinkering with. It's nice to show off some of my stuff every now and again.

Seri and the doggy...

Another B-day this week. Seri got to meet her first dog. Well, technically the MIL has dogs, but they are more like rats with collars. She wasn't to thrilled on seeing the puppy in the first place, she had a good stare down session through the patio door.



Then the dog came in and licked her face, so Seri decided to spend the rest of the party hiding under the kitchen table.


There is a term called epic fail. If you need an explanation on what it is read this. This guy put a $12,000 engagement ring inside a mylar balloon and then accidentally released it when he left the store. Now, there really isn't a standardize test to see if you're good marrying material... but nature has a way of hinting at it. My big thing is the $12,000 ring! I mean, it doesn't even play MP3's! Everything nowadays plays MP3's.

Oh, and my co-worker decided to pose with his son's Optimus Prime doll. There was no way I could let that opportunity pass by. Yep, I'm a great friend.

Nothing a little paint can't fix

Joy and I are trying to focus our attention on decorating the house. We have been putting in ceiling fans everywhere and we're probably going to get the rest of the furniture we want at the end of the year. It's hard getting the house to where we want it without going into a huge amount of debt. What I want to do now is paint a room. I was thinking the piano room where we just put in a new fan. The only problem is that I have no skill when it comes to home decor.

There is this cool thing on the Sherwin Williams site that allows you to pick a room and then drag and drop your colors to it. You can then "see" what the paint will look like. Check it out here.

My house has Killiam Beige on on all the walls as well as the ceiling. We have light wood furniture and these green couches. The couches are Garden Gate... according to Sherwin Williams.


So, the big question is what would go with that. In the piano room we just have a piano, my guitar and a computer. I was thinking of getting a nice stand for the guitar to make it more attractive and then painting the walls a nice green. I was thinking Artichoke for the walls an ceiling and then getting a love seat that is a Canyon Clay color.




Or maybe a cool brown.



Anyway, you can easily spend all day on the site. It's pretty cool. The big thing we need to do is some landscaping... which I really, really don't want to do. It's 86 degrees today in the middle of March and we live on a giant rock with some clay mixed in. I have to build a small wall around the garden, plant two trees and a bunch of flowers. It's going to suck. I might just do it the way I do everything else I don't want to do. Wait long enough for Joy to get ticked off and hire someone to do it for me. Heck, it works for my parents!!

Help Desk... what do you want?

Ever feel that you never really leave work? I had a tech problem with my wife's company last night. She works for a VoIP based answering service from our home. Their whole program runs off a bootable Knopix CD that gives Joy everything she needs to work. Well, it wasn't working. Turns out that the CD calls out to this Java based 'network speed tester' and if your upload isn't 512k it won't let you connect to the VoIP service. It's a QoS thing. Now, I'm not saying I'm an expert but I've set up a couple of VoIP networks in my time and you don't need 512k to run it, but I wasn't in a place to argue. Anyway, I ended up calling good old Time Warner tech support for some help, which is always good for a laugh.

After explaining to the 'tech' what speed I was getting and what speed I was suppose to get... and how I know what I'm getting... and no, resetting my PC will not change anything... I finally just upgraded to their ludicrous speed network of 10 Mb up and 1 Mb down. That way I don't have to suffer any more scripted troubleshooting.

Then, after teaching my boss how to make an auto-fill table of contents in Word and helping my big sister learn how to pirate DVD's I decided to hang up the help desk hat and call it a day.

That's when my MIL (mother in law) called. She had a bunch of donuts that she insisted on giving up. Joy and I have a cruise coming up in January and we are trying to get into shape so we can eat ourselves into comas on the ship. I'm really trying eat well... by well I mean 'at least better then what I normally eat'. She dropped off 4 chocolate filled donuts and I pretty much had to eat one. I gave one to Hayden and grabbed one to bring up to Joy. By the time I got back Hayden was polishing off the last one... man, that kid is quick!

Well, maybe I'll dust off that gym pass...

Excuse me... your butt is spinning.

The latest in crazy fitness inventions. It's called the Hawaii Chair. You have to watch the video, it's awesome.



The secret is the 2800 rpm Hula motor... and the amazing stupidity of the average layabout.

Don't drink the water

Just some news to make you wonder where the worlds headed.

Drugs in the water

There are drugs in our water supply. The quantity's are only in the part per trillion, but you know that bottled water stock will increase.

Then there's this gem.

Crazy Muslims

The dutch cartoonist that drew this image of Muhammad (which I don't even think is that funny) is at it again.



He is urging Dutch politicians to show a film that is critical of the Koran. Of course muslims around the world are up in arms about anything that would cast any doubt on their religion. I personally love that position

Average muslim idiot: "Ours is the religion of peace and the Koran is Allah's perfect word... but it cannot stand up to any ridicule whatsoever... and if anyone dares question it we will kill them, anyone around them and some of our own followers in a violent protest!"

Muslimism is just a form of social control. If it is so peaceful and enlightened then why is it that all we see from muslims is hate and violence. It's pathetic.

Speaking of religion...

New sins for Catholics

This is just funny. I think they should have stuck with the buddy Christ.



In other news, Hayden got a cool new back tattoo. I think that I'm going to buy a ton of them and he can be a Yakuza gang member for Halloween. Joy already said that I can't get him a toy chainsaw and a hockey mask. Oh well.



Oh and Joy got a butt master 5000 or something. I guess we needed a new place to hang clothes. I do have to say that this thing really makes your butt hurt. I tried it for about 10 minutes and I have decided that I'd rather just die with a big flabby butt then to subject myself to that torture again. Besides, I'm a computer weenie... I have an image to uphold. The funny thing was that Hayden wanted to try it out, he got on it for about 2 seconds and then said "Daddy, I think I'm going to hurt myself."

Serenity is now one!!!

Seri turned one on Feburary 23rd! I had made a little cake the night before but it didn't survive my in-laws while I was at work. We're not really big on the early B-days. Serenity really doesn't care and it just means a mess of cake. If she follows Hayden's lead 4 will be her first big day. Mom and Dad got to see her open their present to her on the web cam, which was a cool thing. Now she just has to get some teeth!!

Inflato-land

Hayden had a party with his friend Dyllan. It was at a place called Inflatables Park or something. It's a pretty cool place. It's really just a big room filled with all those bouncy houses you can rent at parties. Pretty good idea really.



Anyway, Hayden had a blast.



Serenity even got a party hat out of it.... although I don't think she had as much fun as Hayden did.




All in all it was a really fun time. I carried her most of the night and she's really getting heavy, but she's a cutie so I don't mind too much. We have another B-day party on Sunday, I think it's a monster truck party or something. We'll see how that goes.

Not quite an honor student

Exchange Student Starved While in Egypt

So this kid goes to Egypt for a year and his host family was fasting as part of their religious beliefs for 200+ days. He complained to the Egyptian school and they offered to move him to a better home, but in a more dangerous neighborhood. He decided to stay and almost starved to death. Upon his return he spent 2 weeks in a hospital before getting back to normal.

Now I can see this family being used to surviving on less food than an average 17 yr old boy. I can even see them denying him food to fit into their extreme belief system. What kills me is that he couldn't figure a way out of it.

When I went to college I spent a good 6 months living out of my truck. I couldn't afford dorm fees and didn't want to give up. Now, it would of been smart to just go back home and tell my parents, but I didn't get where I am in life by being smart. What I did do is get a job at the cafeteria so I could "borrow" food when I got hungry and I found a way to sneak into the only dorm with a community shower room so I could get cleaned up in the mornings. It worked great till winter hit. Coincidently I joined the Air Force on Jaurary 5th 1999.

Let me solve his problem for him:

One day as school he just finds an English speaking student... preferably a plump one.

Kid: Hey, my host family sucks, do you think you can bring an extra lunch from school for me?
Plumpy: Sure

Ok, so maybe this guy isn't ready for the real world. What I really can't figure out is this.

Here's Egypt.



Smack dab in the middle of what I like to call... bat shit crazy land. There's radical Muslims in them there hills! What kind of superhero parents send their kid there to be a exchange student? Pretty stupid if you ask me. Oh well, to each their own I guess.

Who turned on the cold?

Ah, San Antonio... where even the weather is dumb. It's really cold today. We're hoping for a bunch of rain so we don't have a drought this year. Last year was the first summer we didn't have water restrictions in 5 years. It was really nice to be able to water the lawn and have the slip and slide running when it got hot (which was pretty much everyday). Pretty soon it'll be 100+ and I'll be wishing for the 50 degree weather to return.

In my on going quest to not suck at dinner, I took my big sisters advice and made Sheppard's pie. It turned out pretty good. I used garlic ranch in the potatoes and steak seasoning on the meat. Hayden liked it and it Seri got to eat all the corn and taters she could handle. She even helped make it by taking all of our Tupperware out of the kitchen cabinets.




In other news, I finally got that fan up in the living room.




My problem is that I am retarded when it comes to decorating and Joy just doesn't have that much time on her hands. I think that this fan matches the wood but not the white stairs since it is a dark metal fan. Well, the first step is admitting my own limitations. In any event, it dims and has an RF remote so I can turn it on and off from outside if I wanted to (for some reason).

New colors

Just trying to make it easy on the eyes. Also, I don't want to be one of those "default settings" people. I was thinking that I should ditch the auto-blog and load up a pearl database running some cool php front end... but I had just made pizza rolls and you know how that is. So I just changed the background color. Done and done!

Father of D&D, dies at 69

I guess he rolled a 2.

Gary Gygax

(if you don't get that, you probably had friends growing up)

Man had friend shoot him in the shoulder so he could skip work

This just cracks me up.

Man shot by friend...

It reminds me that our security guy at work recently was out for three weeks after having some major surgery. They ended up taking out his gallbladder but had to get really invasive due to complications. Apparently it was really serious and luckily he pulled through. Our company sent him flowers and everyone pitched in and got him a gift and a card. On the card everyone signed it, wishing him a speedy recovery... except me. I just wrote 'faker'. Yeah, I'm not really big on the whole compassion thing.

Speed Test

Here's a cool site that shows your internet speed. I like all the stats it gives you.

Speed Test

Here's what I'm running now. That awesome 490 K upload is why dogwood is such a stellar place to get software and whatnot.



When I was at Grande they gave me 10 mb down and 3 mb up, which is wild. Here at good old Time Warner I have to get a "business package" for that kind of speed and get this, I have to fill out a special form because I am a home owner and not a commercial residence. Thanks, I want to give you more money... all you have to do is change my bandwidth management, and you throw stupid paperwork at me. Way to be.

The best is when I asked for a static IP. This is not an exaggeration:

Me: Can I get a static IP
TW: Why do you need one?
Me:??? because I want one. What does it matter to you?
TW: Well we don't just give out static IP's. They're reserved for businesses.
ME: What? Listen, I have an IP already... I just want you to make my lease not expire. That's it.
TW: We can't give static IP's to non-businesses.
ME: Why not?
TW: Because they give you special access to the Internet.

I swear I am not making that part up! Do they even screen people before they hire them. I asked if the special access allows me to download music for free, just to see if he'd entertain me some more but once I got into DHCP reservations he bumped me up to the next tier. I guess tier one doesn't handle acronyms.

Oh, and I still have a dynamic IP... which does change every so often. Turns out old TW only gives static IP's to businesses, or people who fill out their retarded "I'm not a business but want to give you more money for better service" paperwork. I can't bring myself to that level of stupid yet.

I want to start an ISP that gives 10 up and 10 down... so you can host a CoD server if you want, and has no tech support whatsoever. If you can't figure it out... then you don't need it.

My support line would be 1-800-too-damn-bad.

At least it's toll free.

Not chicken again!

I have decided that I hate everything that I know how to cook. As I've mentioned before I landed the job of head chef in our house. I can make a few things, most involving chicken, and I'm really sick of everything I make. I need to find a way to make more meals cheaply and with not too many of ingredients. As is stands we spend too much at the grocery store and still end up eating out more often then we should. I feel bad for Joy and Hayden because some of the stuff I cook I can't even stand. Well, I guess I can start with some cookbooks or something.

In happier news Seri loves her sippy cups. I found these disposable ones that if you take a safety pin and poke some small air holes in the lid they work better than more expensive cups. Which is cool because you get 10 of them in a pack for 2 bucks.



Also, if the military taught me anything it's that if you want to knock the fight out of someone just give them a repetitive task and make them do it for a good long while. For example, Hayden has gotten a little immune to the corner lately. Come to find out that his little imagination is all he needs to get by a good 15 minute stay in the corner. So I started making him walk up and down the stairs. It works wonders. I just have to mention the stairs and he straightens right up. So now I just have to learn how to cook so I can reward him with something besides ice cream!

Energy efficient

It's been my dream to get some land, build a house and get off the grid. That means creating my own power so I don't have to pay for it, or at least pay less than what I do now. I'm no environmentalist, I'd eat an endangered spotted owl if you cooked it right. I just hate to think how I get screwed every time I fill up. My big idea is to use wind turbines to crack water into hydrogen so I can fuel my car... or my blimp, you know, whatever.




Anyway, after seeing this I might just get a bunch of those energy efficient light bulbs and call it a day!

The weekend just wouldn't be complete...

Unless I broke something. Joy and I spent Saturday running around. We went to Joy's piano lesson, which gave me and the kids time to go to La Cantera mall here in town. It's an outdoor mall so it's pretty sweet.


Serenity got to sport some of her spring fashion line. She's at the great age where 18 month clothing is too small and 24 month is huge! So we just rolled her pants and pressed on. The mall is massive and has every store you can think of. I bought nothing because we needed to buy ceiling fans instead. For those of you keeping score at home we have the office, Hayden's room and now the living room done. Seri got some walking in, which is good. I got the obligatory comments from other parents about how cute she is and Hayden got to run around. Good times.


Hayden was so good that we decided to go to Chuck E Cheese for some mediocre pizza and to get our game on. Hayden got to show everyone that he takes after his dad.




Oh yeah, and the weekend wouldn't be complete without me breaking something. I dropped a piece of the new fan onto the glass table in the kitchen and broke the glass top. I think it looks better without it but it's only a matter of time before the wood gets all messed up. I think that the bare wood gives a warm feel to the breakfast nook. I would also like to go on record to say that the word "nook" is stupid. Who the hell wants to eat in a nook anyway? Communists, that's who. So if you call it a nook then you let the terrorists win!

Kind of makes you sick, doesn't it.

A Belgian writer has admitted that she made up her best-selling "memoir" depicting how, as a Jewish child, she lived with a pack of wolves in the woods during the Holocaust, her lawyers said Friday. Too bad it was all a lie!

Article

That's pretty much the worst thing I've read in a while. How can you try to make a profit off of something like the Holocaust. That is just really low. Luckily, the Holocaust was a hoax right?

Let's talk to my good friends, the nutbags over at Bible Believers.

"Within five minutes, any intelligent, open-minded person can be convinced that the Holocaust gassings of World War II are a profitable hoax"

Article

If you browse their site you can find all sorts of wacky stuff. It's kind of funny, if it wasn't so sad.
