7 p.m.
• So on the drive home from work today we passed up this place that always has politically incorrect stuff on its marquee. I know I talked about this bar/restaurant before, but I can’t find it when I performed a search. Anyway, there is also this listing for upcoming local bands that will be playing there, and with that I give you the latest chat I shared with Mrs. kkk. You can figure out who is who:
“Hey, do you spell ‘Van Halen’ as ‘H-e-l-o-n?”
“No.”
“Is it ‘H-e-l-e-n’?”
“No.”
“Yes it is.”
“No, it’s not.”
“Well then what is it?”
“H-a-l-e-n?”
“That’s what I said.”
“No. You said ‘H-e-l-e-n.”
“Well you know what I meant.”
“…”
Oh, and here’s a video montage of some of this guy’s signs.
• Remember "Wet Back Wednesday"? Here's a
Oddly enough, it was in that little "More From" column next to the first video posted in this entry. And it just wouldn't be a Shittsburgh video without some guy in a Steelers hat.
8:30 p.m.
• Looks like I'm not the only one going senile in the kkk household. You can figure out who is who:
"What were you listening to upstairs? There was a lot of yelling."
"The
song."
"When did you get that."
*shakes head*
"What?"
"You got it for me as a Christmas present."
"I did?"
"Yes."
"Oh..."
And fuck the people that dont think that AMERICA TOATALLY OWNS, UR JUST MAD U SAND NIGGERS THAT UR NOT IN AMERICA.
• So I went to look up some article on Barack Osama RACIST pastor and here were the first headlines that popped up on Google News.
An Effort to Bridge a Divide
Obama's race speech hits receptive ears in Gwinnett
Obama's Race Speech Heralded as Historic
Oh, there won't be any favorable coverage this election for one candidate.
Say, did you all know that John McCain served in Vietnam? Did you know he was still alive? I'm being serious -- is he still with us?
• The guy is blind for God's sake -- he has the perfect excuse. All he has to say is that he was congested on his selected days of forbidden passion and couldn't detect anything from the smell.
Actually, the best part of all this is the photo that goes along with this article. Here's the headline:
New NY Governor Admits Affairs Years Ago
And here's the pic.
6 p.m.
• So I learned an important driving lesson. You know how when you’re at an intersection and the light has one of those fancy extra “green arrows”? Well, when that green arrow disappears, and incoming traffic is moving toward you, I found out that’s when you need to floor it and try to make your turn in one piece. Or at least that’s what the little college shithead behind me thought I should have done. It’s interesting how when you act faux pissed in these situations by waving your arms around and banging your head on the steering wheel (all while blaring on your horn after getting honked at) how they tend to stay away from you when the green arrow comes back on.
I’ve already figured out my death. The last payment to the house will have gone through and someone is going to shoot me during the afternoon work commute.
6:30 p.m.

Notes: As usual, I put zero thought into these picks and went with my first hunch (most of the time -- see below).
I originally had Villanova getting to the fourth round, but I stopped myself because I always get burned on picking a "Big East" sleeper.
Even though I think Pitt has a chance, they ALWAYS do well in the conference tournament and falter in the national tournament.
As usual, I'll forget who I picked 20 minutes from now and when watching the games tomorrow I'll be cheering for the wrong teams.
9:30 p.m.
• So I was taking a shower earlier this evening when the better half said, “I’ll join you.” Oh boy. Now in the movies you see those steamy shower scenes where the people involved are passionately embraced and doing a number of things that would, in the real world, result in one (or both) of them saying, “I’ve fallen and I can’t get up.”
And just what happened this time around? The same thing that always takes place. When I take a shower, I move all her shampoo/body wash/etc. off the shelve thingys and onto the bathroom sink. I then take my few toiletry items and put them on those shelf thingys. (Keep in mind that we also have a holder thing around the shower head that – surprise – holds even more of her shit.)
Well I was just about done doing my thing when she says “I’m coming in.” She enters with all those shower items in hand and tries to put them on the shelf thingys, where my stuff was. There was one problem. She was at the wrong end of the bathtub and I was blocking her way. Then she starts complaining that I’m taking up all the water. Look, our bath station is just a regular hub. There’s no room. Then when she was exposed to some H2O, there was the ever-predictable “OMG how can you stand it so hot?”
How long have we lived together? And how many times have you seen me come out of the shower with just the reddish of hues on my chest?
Fortunately, I was finishing up my shower time, and after another minute or so I got the hell out of there. Look, I have nothing against co-showering, but this ain’t the movies. This is real life. Speaking of real life, here was a post of mine at the other place that is sorta related to today's subject material. Keep in mind this post was in the Sex folder in a thread titled "Okay PIT, what is your favorite, way to..." You've been warned.
6 p.m.
• So I heard my first Barack Osama radio ad today.
*Blahblahblah We pay high gas prices and Exxon makes $30 billion Blahblahblah*
PA’s primary can’t come quick enough. Then again, I'm sure it will be just as bad in the general election.
• You know, I don’t get the Sarah Jessica Parker hate.
Maybe it’s because “Sex in the City” was terrible or something – not that I would know because I never watched it. She looks different. Big deal. I don’t fantasize about her while stroking my wiener, but I don’t find her repulsive. But I have to ask this: Why bring it up now when this was first published last fall? Don't say the upcoming "Sex in the City" movie, because this doesn't really do much to make someone want to go out, put down $10 for a ticket and watch the UNSEXIEST WOMAN ALIVE~!
• I’m sure there are places in the “progressive” part of towns that would charge $8 per serving for this.
4:30 p.m.
• And he was about to get the chair, too -- in just 0143892 more years...
• Go, Texas. We need all the red state electoral votes we can muster.
And in a SHOCKING development.
11:30 p.m.
• So I read this hippie op-ed column in the local paper earlier this week and it’s still on my mind. It’s some commie who used to work at CNN and he’s talking about how “liberalism” really doesn’t exist anymore and blah blah blah. The part that made me laugh (the most) was the following:
Sony silence? I guess your “conservative friends” aren’t that quick on the ball to respond by saying, “Sure, but only if I get my money back from the years I put into these Ponzi schemes.” I mean that “Well then don’t collect Social Security” attempt at shutting up Big Government dissenters is almost as easy to diffuse as when some idiot says, “If you’re against abortion how come you’re for capital punishment?” Then there’s the oldie but goldie “WHO WOULD JESUS BOMB?!” (Uh, I don’t know about ol’ Jesus, but his old man was one heck of a hell raiser. Noah didn’t build that boat for nothing.)
11:59 p.m.
• This story has irked me for some time. Long story short: Back in ’04 my state Senator, some liberal faggot by the name of Alan Kukovich, lost to a Republican named Bob Regola. Now Regola really wasn’t a Republican – he had been a conservative Democrat but switched to the GOP ticket in hopes of beating this left-wing bitch in a general election rather than a primary. Shortly after this upset, some little shit named Louis Farrell, Regola’s 14-year old next door neighbor was found dead with Regola’s gun. Here’s the story for those that care:
Now I’ve said before I’m not a gun owner (although many a day goes by when I wonder why), but if you have a gun in your house for protection, wouldn’t it be pointless to lock it up? If it’s 3 a.m. and you hear someone breaking through your living room window, I don’t think you’d have enough time to wake up, get the key to your gun box, open the box, remove the trigger lock, put in the bullets and then go hunting for the person breaking into your house. To me this whole thing smells like a witch hunt and I will gladly vote for Regola should he run again. And this whole perjury thing isn’t jiving with me. OMG he first said the gun was under his kid’s bed then later under his bed. N*gga plz. I’m not defending him because of his party affiliation – I’m defending him because I think it’s bullshit that you can get in trouble for daring to have a weapon to protect your property easily accessible (it’s not like the gun was kept out on the living room coffee table next to the TV Guide). My only regret in this whole story is that that little bastard didn’t just lay down in front of a moving train. (That line went over REAL well a year or two ago when I was in a local doctor’s office with the better half, and some old guy, who made it obvious he didn’t care for Regola, was giving us his opinion on this matter.)
6:30 p.m.
• So later this week I'll be going to Buffalo on a business trip. It's sad when you're going to a city that people from Shittsburgh can goof on. Actually, I'm not sure about Buffalo -- I do know that people in my neck of the woods do think they're above Cleveland. And then there's Detroit.
• Speaking of Detroit.
I wonder what Mr. Loc's "regular" fee is.
• I might watch this on DVD some day. I liked "Rounders," and this has Kevin Spacey.
But what I really wanted to see in this article is how that commie "Stop-Loss" flick fared.
8 a.m.
• Well, I'll be getting ready to leave the state in a few hours, which brings me to something I've been meaning to say for a few days. You may have noticed that in the last few months I haven't been blogging as much as I used to. Well, there's a reason for that.
I've been really busy at work and many times the last thing I want to do when I get home is get in front of another computer.
And the sad thing is, there's really not much to complain about. I could gripe about my contractor and how they're putting more and more work on my boss's plate (and in turn, me) that wasn't in the agreed contract, but the great thing about all this is that my new boss has been supportive of me 110 percent. It's a TOTAL night/day switch from the shithole I used to work at. Hell, last week she said that she was going to bring on another person (part-time to start) to help us out. And what did she do? She started interviewing people yesterday! Now some of you may find this "normal," but I came from a place that took two months to find a replacement for me (and from the stories I've been hearing it sounds like my idiot ex-boss picked a real winner, but that's another story for another time). I came from a place that put stuffing envelopes over job duties I was originally hired to perform. I came from a place that wouldn't reimburse our sales manager for ANYTHING he did out on the road. (But my ex-idiot boss would spend thousands on trips to national conventions that did squat for our organization. Shit, there's another story sorta-related to this subject that I could mention, but time forbids it.) Anyway, what I'm trying to say is that I came from a pretty shitty place.
• Hello.
I remember when I was that age I stood on a bench during lunchtime and made a "Tarzan" yell. Why? Because I was a kid. I was whisked away and had to put my head down on my desk during post-lunch recess. I had no intentions of killing anyone. Actually, the reason I did this was for attention. A little less than a year later I was at a classmate's birthday party when this girl named Tonya called my name from across the table. After she got my attention, she then did a mock of that yell/chest thumping and gave me that look that a grade-schooler gives when they want to bang you (Or whatever they think of when they're that age; hell, now they probably do imagine taking it doggy-style while leaning against the Tinker Toy can. Oh who am I kidding? They don't play with Tinker Toys anymore.)
10 a.m.
• So last week I took a business trip to Buffalo. Wow. Just wow. First off, I stayed at the Hyatt Regency downtown, and after I got everything settled I decided to take a trip outside. Big mistake. Just about every single building within a several block radius was boarded up or vacant. The only two exceptions to this were the Chinese takeout place, which looked to be on its last leg, and the welfare office. And another thing: what is up with all the black people? I get that this was “downtown,” but I wasn’t expecting to be accosted every other block by some person asking for change. I almost forgot, there was a CVS store, but they closed up shop before 6 p.m. Man, no wonder people are so miserable in the Northeast.
9 p.m.
• Wow. That's a bitch.
I guess beggers can't be choosers if you're waiting for a new set of lungs, but still.
5 p.m.
• So this is what keeps me going. I had a chat with my one former co-worker earlier today, and he says that the person hired to replace me is totally screwing things up. Remember those monthly projects I always spent weekends performing, which I always finished by the 18th of each month? Well, the n00b was hired the first day or two of March and has not yet FINISHED March's project and probably won't for AT LEAST two more weeks.
• Tonight marks the start of the NHL playoffs. Might as well get these predictions over with:
East
Montreal Canadiens (1) v Boston Bruins (8)
Still trying to figure out how Montreal got the top East spot. It might help if I paid attention to the games. Habs in 5.
Pittsburgh Penguins (2) v Ottawa Senators (7)
Last year the Sens took care of the Pens in quick fashion. This year it's payback. Pens in 6.
Washington Capitals (3) v Philadelphia Flyers (6)
The Caps have that guy with the O and a really long last name. However, I think the Flyers will goon him to submission. Flyers in 6.
New Jersey Devils (4) v New York Rangers (5)
How many time do these two play each other. Devils in 5.
*******************************************8
Montreal Canadiens (1) v Philadelphia Flyers (6)
The Flyers can goon one man, but they can't goon them all. Habs in 5.
Pittsburgh Penguins (2) v New Jersey Devils (4)
The playoffs are when a goalie can shut down an entire team. However, it's time for Marty to break down. Pens in 6.
*******************************************
Montreal Canadiens (1) v Pittsburgh Penguins (2)
Oh what the hell, I'll go with the homer pick. Pens in 7.
West
Detroit Red Wings (1) v Nashville Predators (8)
I remember getting burned by Nashville last year. Fuck 'em. Wings in 5.
San Jose Sharks (2) v Calgary Flames (7)
How about we go with San Jose winning in 6.
Minnesota Wild (3) v Colorado Avalanche (6)
I'll guess this series will have the most overtimes. Don't know why. Wild in 6.
Anaheim Ducks (4) v Dallas Stars (5)
I don't see the Stars getting out of the first round anymore. Ducks in 5.
*******************************************
Detroit Red Wings (1) v Anaheim Ducks (4)
Detroit tends to choke, but I ame getting the feeling that this year they won't. Wings in 5.
San Jose Sharks (2) v Minnesota Wild (3)
Yikes, I've picked all favorites so far. Wild in 7.
*******************************************
Detroit Red Wings (1) v Minnesota Wild (3)
Steve Yzerman retired, right? Wings in 5.
Stanley Cup
Detroit Red Wings (1) v Pittsburgh Penguins (2)
I'm not that big a homer. Wings in 5.
8:30 p.m.
• So it looks like there was one talent "the stars" had.
I don't care for much of reality TV outside of "Cops" and other videos of blacks and rednecks getting beat down. That doesn't mean I hate the genre, though. For some sick reason the better half and I have seen a number of Vh1's "Rock of Love" shows this past season, although I think it's more for the train wreck factor than desired viewing. Ugh, as I type, she's got "Survivor" on downstairs.
• Maybe all the protests about the Olympic torch headed to China isn't about the country's crackdown on Tibet and people that like to do yoga in public.
Oh lord...
5 p.m.
• So I was about to make the old "well at least she didn't blame thison the brake pedal sticking," but then I found that this joke has already been spent. No matter.
• Ice went to jail for PUSHING a bitch?
Ahh, now the truth comes out.
Then why isn't she in jail for lying? There are time I feel bad for women -- like when disgusting men hit on them for no reason whatsoever (and no, this isn't from personal experience). However, all a chick has to do is accuse some guy of abusing her and it's off to the slammer.
Now time for some more news stuff...
Now we get the background on V-Ice, which is common for many stories involving public figures.
But here's the best part.
Anyone remember buying those tape/CD singles back in the '90s? Memories.
6 p.m.
• So the better half wanted to look up the review to some game called Looney Tunes: Acme Arsenal. I told her where to go to the site I always go to for reviews, but she "couldn't find it." OK. So I went to my favorites list, clicked the link and entered in the game's name. As I got up from the computer chair, she asked, "Where are you going?" My response. "Here's the site -- just pick what reviews you want to look at." Her response. "I thought you were going to read them, too."
...
Speaking of which, anybody know of any PS2 games out there that are similar to the Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance and Champions of Norrath titles?
7:30 p.m.
• So the "well it's only a matter of time" has struck again. Remember my out-of-control niece-in-law? Guess who has a bun in the oven?
And guess who gets drunk?
And guess who uses drugs?
And guess who goes to the methadone clinic?
The funniest thing about all this: I have no idea who the father is. Well, she's been living with this guy for a little while now, but that doesn't mean shit. This is the same person who got a cat, didn't have it fixed and didn't take it one time to the vet. About a week ago the cat got in heat and ran away. Maybe it knew something then.
• And who says there's a media bias? Note the bold-face type. Well, naturally, you should. After all, it's in bold-face. But I digress.
Oopsie, I deleted one little thing in the last paragraph. There we go...
Splintered? Conservative? It was a 7-2 vote! The same five red diaper doper babies that think it's OK for the government to take the private property of Private Party A and give it to Private Party B because Private Party B would use the land to generate more tax revenue took part in this decision. I shudder to think what would happen if several lawyers in robes were chosen by Osama or Hitlery. (Eh, I'm sure McCain wouldn't be much better.)
8 p.m.
• Uh-oh. I forgot the NBA playoffs started today. Whatever, it's only one game. Is the NBA is still doing the pre-determined brackets, unlike the NHL which reseeds every round? Well they are in this.
Coming from the Big East, boy, we ain’t slippin’
(1) Boston vs. (8) Atlanta
Hey, Atlanta made the playoffs! Good for them. I don’t even want to know their record. Celtics in 5. (For the record, I rarely call a game in 4 games or 7 games. Generally, if I say a series will last 5 games, I’m leaning toward a 4-5 game series. If I say 6 games, I’m thinking a series will last 6-7 games. But I’ll take any correct prediction when I can.)
(2) Detroit vs. (7) Philadelphia
I heard the 76ers were playing pretty good as of late. No matter. Pistons in 5.
(3) Orlando vs. (6) Toronto
This one has my interest somewhat. I’m thinking this could have upset potential. I’ll still go Magic in 6.
(4) Cleveland vs. (5) Washington
I don’t care about this series. I didn’t care about this series last year. I didn’t care about it the year before. Cavs in 6.
SECOND ROUND:
(1) Boston vs. (4) Cleveland
I don’t see the Cavs pulling off an upset past the first round this year. Celtics in 5.
Detroit (2) vs. Orlando (3)
Oh what the heck. After guessing a near upset in Orland’s first round matchup, I’ll say they give the Pistons a scare. Pistons in 6.
THIRD ROUND:
(1) Boston vs. (2) Detroit.
This is what everybody has been predicting all year. I’ll pull for the Celtics. Boston in 6.
West-siiiiide
(1) Los Angeles vs. (8) Denver
So it was Denver and not Golden State that got the last playoff spot. It must be terrible for a fan of a Western Conference team like the Nuggets. You spend all that money attending games throughout the regular season only to get ousted in the first round each year. Lakers in 5.
(2) New Orleans vs. (7) Dallas
I was figuring Dallas would make some noise in the playoffs this year, seeing how they got bumped in the first round last year and they were facing not even reaching the postseason after making the trade for Kidd. However, it seems every ESPN talking head has been predicting Dallas to upset, which has me nervous. No matter. Mavericks in 6.
(3) San Antonio vs. (6) Phoenix
I made this prediction before today’s game, which I had on while doing some odds and ends around the house. I’m pulling for the Suns, but I just can’t. Spurs in 6.
(4) Utah vs. (5) Houston
I like T-Mac. Really. I do. But like how I can’t discount the Spurs in the first round, I can’t discount Houston from NOT advancing. Jazz in 5.
SECOND ROUND
(1) Los Angeles vs. (4) Utah
Remember my comment about the Nuggets? Insert “Nuggets” for “Jazz.” Los Angles in 5.
(2) San Antonio vs. Dallas (7)
I had the Spurs advancing in the first round, but I’ll go for the upset here. Mavs in 6.
THIRD ROUND
(1) Los Angles vs. Dallas (7)
Oh what the heck, I’ll call it. Mavericks in 6.
Finals
(1) Boston vs. Dallas (7)
I’m such a party pooper to not have LAKERS VS. CELTICS. Whatever. Hooray for anti-climatic Championship Series. Celtics in 5.
7 p.m.
• So here’s a tip for those who get a call from a Maury Povich producer who asks you to appear on the program. DON’T GO.
Seriously, what do you expect will happen? Your wife has a SECRET~! Gee, I wonder what it could be?
“Baby, I’ve been withholding part of my paycheck from you and I’ve been investing it into an IRA.”
“Honey, I’ve been going to night school and now I earned a Ph.D. and can now start my own licensed practice.”
“Sweetie, my office pool won the Powerball.”
“My love, I cheated on you and you might not be Junior’s daddy.”
You know the only thing worse than coming out to the Maury audience amidst a chorus of boos? Coming out to a chorus of cheers. That means you were the one cheated on.
• I wonder if she will win Ben Stein’s money? Sorry. Wait, not I’m not. That was clever. I’m sure someone else beat me to the punch line. Man was that an awesome show. Well, at least when Jimmy Kimmel was the sidekick.
We used only a very small portion of the song? And that makes it OK? Actually, I’m not sure what the fair use rules are regarding documentaries, so the film might win this one. Either way, I don’t care. People in academia are fuck-ups who can’t survive in the real world. People who think God spent a week making the universe are … well, at least many of them vote for the correct candidates.
9 p.m.
• Oh please let the enviro-wackos go over to China and protest that country's use of fuel. (Note the last paragraph.)
And this is why Americans need to adjust their lifestyles. I don't consider myself an enviro-wacko, but I do my best to conserve energy in a number of places. I carpool. I try to make unnecessary shopping trips. The reason for this? I don't care about the rainforest. I'm a cheap bastard and this saves money. I did this when gas was 99 and 9/10s of a cent per gallon. I will do this when gas hits $4+ per gallon this year. My vehicle of choice? An '03 Cavalier. I love watching these political ads with people bitching about gas prices. Say, didn't Democrats say in '06 that if they were elected gas prices would go down? What the dillyo?
8:30 p.m.
• Let's see if Al Keiper is blowing smoke up my rear.
Hmm, wonder what I was doing wrong before. I was doing the "/video" thing. No matter.
Oh Christ. I HATE those beer guys. Shut up already and let me watch the game. The ones at the Reds stadium were annoying as shit.
7:30 p.m.
• I’m sorry but when I saw this subject line in my inbox I had to click:
And what did the body text have to say? (The text was bolded when I read it.)
In case any of you want more information about this product, peep the vibrator shop. Then again, why pay $70 to get off when this guy will do it for free?
• I swear to Christ I’m talking to my former co-worker now more than when I worked at my previous shit hole of a job. Why? Because the new person they hired is a complete fuck-up and doesn’t know the first thing about her job. It’s already taking three people to do the work I performed by myself. What’s the point of lying about your set of job skills when you will need them to perform your duties? At least when I interview I was honest with what I knew and what I didn’t. Then again, that might be why I didn’t get past the first round of many of my interviews. Oh well.
• Oh thank fuck this show is ending.
I watched it for a spell in the late 1990s and HATED just about every character on the show. The only one I liked was Dr. Romano, and that was because he was an asshole. Everyone else I rooted for their early demise. Except for the gruffy receptionist guy. Oh, and the Anthony Edwards character, but I think that was because I hated him less than the rest of the ensemble.
9:30 p.m.
• Oddly enough, I agree with the pointy-headed academics on this one.
Hey, I'm all about less taxes, but this will do NOTHING. And if we don't have any federal gas taxes, then that will hold back road construction projects -- you know, the ones with 20 guys standing around watching some other pot-bellied man in a hard had moving a digger around. Then we'll hear about how all of our roads are crumbling. In a roundabout way, it's sort of the way I feel about this recent tax rebate thing. If letting people keep more of their money is a good thing, then why does it have to be a one-time special event?
• Gag me now. Funny, because this is the first election I'll be a part of where I feel uninspired.
What?
Yeah, that's a great reason to elect someone. Oh well, it worked for Strom.
8 p.m.
• So the better half and I were driving back from grocery shopping night, and we went past the one thrift store that we always go past. What was on this store's sign? "Clearance." A sale at the thrift store? What, will that pair of jeans now be 50 cents instead of $1?
Actually, we donated some stuff a few weeks back when we decided to attempt to clear out our house of unwanted junk (oddly enough, Mrs. kkk is still living under my roof). This brings up a story I've been meaning to tell for more than a week. Here we go:
I don’t think I’ve mentioned my mom that much. There’s a reason. I’m not that close to her. I don’t hate her, but when you grow up as a latch-key kid you don’t tend to take the whole “family” thing that seriously. I’m not bitching about this, mind you, because I actually like keeping my family at a distance. However, here is a brief rundown of how the old lady lost her mind.
1995: Got laid off from her job because she was there too long and made too much money.
For a few years after that she worked several similar jobs and got canned due to downsizing and all that. But wait, wasn’t this during the GREATEST ECONOMY IN THE HISTORY OF THE UNIVERSE? Yeah, and I was working two jobs for shit pay at Sappy Valley. But I digress. After my grandma on my mom’s side died ol’ mother decided to go to Jesus school. And for years she pestered the Jesus school administrators who didn’t want her because she was too old. Whatever. In the process she ran out of money for thinking she could weekly drive to Columbus, Ohio, and back to her Shittsburgh townhouse. Did I mention that she had virtually no income coming in at this point? Well she sold her house and kept all her shit in storage. And by shit I mean boxes upon boxes of LPs and books that were 40+ years old. In 2003 I took this crap from storage and put it into the duplex we were residing in at that point. When we found out Mrs. kkk was preggers in December I told mom it was time to get this shit out of our house. And by shit I mean more than 15 of those big ass bins. We agreed she had until June 1 to cart her shit out.
Not this past Friday but the Friday before was when she came over to take the first half of this stuff back to Ohio. But wait, she didn’t realize that these books/LPs were in these LARGE bins. Uhhhh, they’ve been in these containers since I bought these bins in ’03 when I went to take her shit from storage and realize that the boxes she was using were rotted. She then gets her “deer in headlights” look because she doesn’t know what to do. Jesus Christ, didn’t she think ANY of this through? I said to cart the bins that were smaller, and I would move some of my stuff that was in smaller bins and use those as well. I then added that I can go to Wal-Mart and get more bins for Trip 2. She then freaks out again and says, “I don’t have the money for that.” My response, “I didn’t say ‘you’ would get the bins.” Good gravy, and she said to me earlier this evening that she was going to rent a truck to cart all this stuff out. Oh, yeah. And she couldn’t lift ANY of these bins. When I asked her how she was going to unload this stuff, she replied that she was going to DRIVE AROUND WITH THIS STUFF IN HER CAR UNTIL SHE COULD GET SOMEONE FROM OHIO TO UNLOAD THE CONTENTS. And you were bitching about gas prices? Do you have any idea how much fuel you would have burned doing this? And what if you rented that truck? I’m now the rational one. My God is that frightening. Well now I’m getting bored so I’ll wrap this up. While putting the shit in her car I realized that if I joined her on this trip I could get rid of ALL this shit in ONE trip. I went to Wal-Mart and got a dozen more bins and finished moving all her shit from the big bins to the smaller ones. At 1 a.m. I was done. Four hours later I was up getting ready to get the hell out. Twelve hours later I was back home and free of all this shit. Of course I have yet to put away all the emptied bins so the basement still looks cluttered. However, it’s MY clutter.
Should I have offered to help her in the first place? Probably. But I’m an awful son. Then again, I pretty much knew I’d be doing this all along. Whatever. At least I don’t have to see her again before June.
And for those that get the title to today's entry. Good job. For those that don't, peep this:
Even though it's a live show, if you have ever listened to RIGHT-WING RADIO you might recognize this song as the theme song to a certain talker heard on hundreds upon hundreds of stations (if you still don't know, just read the comments to this video; you'll figure it out). If you want the studio version of this song, peep the two queermos below.
And while I'm on this subject, I always wondered about the reaction to Rush using this song on his show.
9 p.m.
• Well gee, who could have thought people would find this offensive?
Video.
How dare he compare a presidential candidate to a monkey. Why that's unheard of. That's outrageous. That's...
That's....
That's...
That's...
That's...
That's....
That's....
That's....
That's....
That's....
That's ... Uhhhh? Oh, yeah...
4:30 p.m.
• So my ex-workplace had its May quarterly board meeting, and I found out from the people I still keep in touch with over there something interesting. It is now taking six people to do my job.
One person to actually step in to my job title.
My idiot boss who is showing the above person how to operate Quark, something she said she was proficient in during her interview. My one ex-coworker told me that when she started she asked why you had to make a box for everything. (Quark users will get the joke.) Oh, and she doesn't know how do do any of the other office software she insisted she knew.
Two people to do data-entry/editing work.
One person to do special projects.
One person to work on the web site. I should point out that the only thing which has been updated in the past four months is a link on the front page taken down that directed someone to the site’s latest updates. Seeing there hasn’t been an update since January 18, I find it odd that they would remove this.
I could be greedy and add another person to stuff envelopes, but I’m sure that could be delegated to the three people doing data entry/editing/special projects. Oh, and did I mention this person gets almost one-third more money starting out than what I did? (Hell, she makes more now than I did after 4+ years.) I’m not going to hate on her for that – in fact, I say good job. When it comes to money, you’re only paid as much as you can get. Actually, the one thing about my old job I didn’t really bitch about was the pay. I figure if I wanted more I’d go somewhere else. What did piss me off though was the extra job duties heaved onto me without any additional compensation. When you start a job and your extra responsibilities start becoming more important than the reason you were hired in the first place, then you’ve got problems.
But like I said above, good job on my recent replacement. After all, she was able to get money out of the same place that would constantly try to Jew me out of work I put down on my time card, sometimes as little as 15 minutes.
She was able to get money out of the same place that wouldn’t pay a part-time assistant more than $8/hour after downsizing the previous full-time assistant job, which was more than $12/hour plus benefits. (I am now told by my deep throat that getting a full-time assistant for my replacement is of the “utmost importance.” Actually, it’s been of the “utmost importance” for over a month.)
She was able to get money out of the same place that had everyone CARPOOL to this most recent meeting. This is the same place that has its staff stuff envelopes rather than invest in an envelope-stuffing machine.
But the best part of this meeting? I found out from my deep throat how much she makes, so I got a few people to ask about the new hire’s salary at the meeting. What did my idiot bosses do? They said they “can’t recall” how much she makes. This coming from the same place that … well, you get the idea. Actually, in our most recent company publication, my one idiot ex-boss was bragging about how office expenses were down by THREE ONE-HUNDREDTHS OF A PERCENTAGE POINT while the annual cost of something-or-other went up by 4.3 percent. Of course, in the next paragraph, he mentions that due to an “unusually high” death-ratio-index, the company had to dip into its surplus for the last fiscal year. Yeah, “unusually high.” Too bad all our clients are old and getting older. That “unusually high” is going to turn into “normal” soon enough. But hey, we saved THREE ONE-HUNDREDTHS OF A PERCENTAGE POINT because we wouldn’t pay a part-time assistant more than $8/hour and spent more than 4 months replacing an office worker who died. The more and more I’m away from this place, the more and more I’m enjoying watching its decay from within.
8:30 p.m.
• Uh oh. I bet he's a Bush man.
• Sixteen years later and this song still gives me chills. Damn good stuff. And not one "shizzle" or "bling" reference (or whatever the hell is being used now).
If you stuck around at the 1:50 mark, you would have heard the following line:
Now who used that line as the key sample for his song?
Yep.
• Speaking of Shaq Daddy raps. And how long did they take to remake this track -- 3 minutes?
9:15 p.m.
• As I’ve said before, Tuesday is usually grocery shopping day for the kkk household, and that means my Jew-ness can come out in all its glory. There are many things in life you can’t control, especially when it comes to expenses. However, grocery shopping is a bona fide way to save money, especially if you are careful about what you spend. For me, it’s all about coupons and in-store sales. With few exceptions, if a product isn’t on sale and I don’t have a coupon (which gets doubled up to 99 cents), I don’t get it. Now Mrs. kkk isn’t nearly as bad as I am, but she has gotten more Jewish as the years have gone by. However, today I have reached my pinnacle.
I knew this was going to be a big coupon week. I generally look through the weekly circular on Sunday-Monday and get an idea of what’s on sale. I then go through my coupons and put the ones that feature on-sale products to the front of the line. I noticed that this week there were quite a few sale/coupon combos. (BTW: If my Sunday Tribune-Review has at least two packs of coupons, I will go out and get the Sunday Shittsburgh Post-Gazette. Yes, I’m that pathetic.) When we go to the store there are always in-store sales that weren’t advertised, so I’m also on the lookout for these deals, too. And boy were there some doozies. Some highlights:
French’s yellow and spicy brown mustard. On sale, $1 each. Two 50 cent off coupons doubled. Do the math.
Frank’s hot sauce. On sale, $1.79. One $1 off coupon.
Aleve gel caps. On sale, $2.99 for a pack of 20. Three 75 cent off coupons doubled.
Two cottage cheese/fruit combo packs. On sale, $1 each. One 55 cent off coupon doubled.
And so on.
At the end of this week’s shopping trip, I ended up saving $61.24 off a $144.15 order. But the best part of all. The self check-out machine refused to accept my order because it said, in tech jargon, that I had saved too much money, or at least that’s what the store employee who rang up my order told me.
I always find it amusing when I read stories about how people have to change their lifestyle due to the HORRID BUSH ECONOMY. Along with taking less exquisite vacations, one change I commonly read is that families now clip coupons and watch what they buy at the grocery store. Shit, I’ve been doing that since 1999 when I first started living on my own.
Over the years the TSM community has been an interesting bunch. While many of us bicker and type things to each other that we definitely probably perhaps wouldn’t say in a face-to-face encounter, enough time has passed as this place that we share memorable life experiences with each other. Births, weddings, passings. And even though TSM will never be mistaken for a bona fide support group, there are enough people at this place that will provide words of congratulations, encouragement and condolences at the right time. Then there are also enough of us to throw in an *unzips pants*, which although juvenile is also necessary. If not, how else would I be at 15,000+ posts?
How it all started
It was late one night and I was too awake to go to bed but I was too tired to actually do anything of importance. So I did what I normally do in this situation. I went on the Internet. I don’t remember what thread/blog I was reading at the time, but I do recall it involving some half-assed countdown of something or other. It was at that time I decided to do my own countdown. A countdown that has never been done before. But of what?
Well of my top 103 posters. For some reason, this thought jumped in my head and stayed there for just enough time for me to randomly type a number of posters that popped in and out of my memory. After a while I stopped typing names and realized I had an odd number of names. And of course EVERY list needs a safe, divisible amount, right? Wrong, hippie.
Well, exactly two years(?!) and 102 posters later, the moment of truth has come. Who is ranked #1? Rather than list the name at the start of this post, I will wait until the end. Click on the links if you want, but treat them as spoiler tags.
But first, let's see who has already been accounted for.
Number 103: Sideburnious
I think one reason I'm having some trouble coming up with a "favorite Sideburnious moment" is because he’s “TSM Invisible Poster.”
Number 102: T®ITEC
I still don't know how to type that hippie ® though -- thank God for "copy and paste."
Number 101: EricMM
I shouldn’t be too negative on Eric because I think he’s just a product of his environment (pun intended).
Number 100: Anorak
For some time we constantly name-called each other in a number of threads, but then something strange happened: we actually started to get along better.
Number 99: Jessie Ewiak
When he wasn’t explaining to members of the Conservative Brigade why the polls favored Kerry over Bush in ’04, he was wanking to one of the few elections Democrats did manage win that year.
Number 98: MD2020
Nothing really special to say about MD2020; he seemed like a nice enough chap when he was here.
Number 97: Reservior Kitty
The next poster on my list is really the cat’s meow – oh fuck you all, I’ve said worse.
Number 96: Chave
He has nice teeth, and for someone who lives across the Pond from me, that says a lot.
Number 95: Kotz
I’ve known him at TSM for years, and I’m still unsure if we get along or not.
Number 94: FrigidSoul
We teamed up and good times were had by all, especially when goofing on some kid's mom and her unsuccessful bout with cancer. You can’t brush aside moments like this just because someone went and deleted a message board.
Number 93: Smues
He makes fun of Barry Bonds and ESPN, along with Mikey Moore. You can't win me over any more than goofing on those three subjects.
Number 92: Swift Terror
When he got promoted to the management level I was at we got to know each other better during some projects our groups worked together on. Well, the people working under us worked; I spent most of my day posting at TSM, which eventually pulled in my co-worker, too.
Number 91: Paul Stanley
If he's been laid off already for making too much money, here's hoping he finds something that pays him more and has him working less.
Number 90: Masked Man of Mystery
He’s a Professional Otaku, and no list is complete without one of those.
Number 89: Olympic Slam
He’s more conservative than me yet lives in California.
Number 88: The Czech Republic
He’s extremely approachable on AIM and has answered every inquiry I have asked him through this medium, from explaining what exactly a “neocon” is to what parts of the Windy City and its surrounding areas support the Cubs and which areas support the White Sox.
Number 87: Latin Assasin
He may be Latino, but I'll still give him a pound, or whatever it is those black people do when greeting each other.
Number 86: JAxl Morrison
When he's not putting his sexual partner's life at risk by banging her while she still has a tampon inside of her, he's putting his own life at risk by getting it on with military wives.
Number 85: Ant 7000
He tries his hardest to answer that age-old question: "Why do black men go after fat white girls?"
Number 84: Crono T
When you're good enough to get the Best Ending, the Frog Ending, and the Secret Ending, then we'll talk. Until then, keep on digging, Watson.
Number 83: BDC
He’s the unofficial ninja of the Conservative Brigade.
Number 82: Special K
What puts him at number 82 on my list is the phenomenon that was his “Hey everybody, I finally got laid" thread.
Number 81: Agent of Oblivion
Although he considered me the worst poster of 2004, can anyone really blame him for that?
Number 80: The Franchise
I don’t think he lives in one of the better neighborhoods across the Pond.
Number 79: Treble
You can't really blame the Office Glen for crashing my threads, considering I have derailed a few of his on occasion.
Number 78: Kahran Ramsus
When he signed up in my football contest last year, I got the pleasure of interacting with him more than when he just closes threads I help queer up.
Number 77: Sass
I always found Sass, during his time as a mod, to be a voice of reason in many instances.
Number 76: Your Paragon of Virtue
He's harmless enough when talking about current events, back when I used to do that sort of thing.
Number 75: Jingus
Jingus, along with a few other people, formed another message board, which a few of us still post at.
Number 74: Buffybeast
She loves her hosses and hates black people.
Number 73: Dr. Venkman
He has a good Avatar and named after a kick-ass movie character.
Number 72: The Thread Killer
I didn’t know much about this guy until he came out of the closet.
Number 71: NY Untouchable
I need to somehow make up for breaking his heart by voting against him in the first round of this year’s Poster Tournament.
Number 71: Cena’s Writer
He didn’t mind when I moved him from the Cards to the Saints during the off-season.
Number 69: Bob Barron
Bob is one of the more recognizable posters at this place. And how can he not be, considering he's had that hat longer than the Braves have been winning Division titles.
Number 68: Agent Bond34
I do feel for him when a few years ago he got banned by some mod because that person thought Agent was a previously banned poster (Mr. Zsasz).
Number 67: Slapnuts
Slapnuts isn’t too bad a guy, even though he will forever be remembered for a certain 77 words.
Number 66: Y2Jerk
One could rest assured that during spring of ’05 there would be a Y2Jerk/MikeSC clash of the day.
Number 65: Starvenger
He’s part of my football contest and had a tough year with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last season thanks to a few close losses.
Number 64: UseTheSledgehammerUh
At one point he was even banned, but I’ve never had a problem with him.
Number 63: Mr. S£im Citrus
I actually see a lot of myself in Mr. S£im. Well except for that whole "serving your country" thing. Plus I'm white. Oh, and there's that whole kid issue.
Number 62: The Scotsman
I only spoke with him once via AIM, and that was just to give him a link to a news story about some kid with Downs Syndrome being elected Homecoming King in his school.
Number 61: 2Gold
Even Kotz likes him, and it’s in a non-sexual matter, too.
Number 60: Prime Time Andrew Doyle
He’s also been tempted to seek the services of a hooker right after his classes finish early, but he’s too cheap to pay the $140 for a half-hour of service.
Number 59: Fazzle
I remember seeing a picture of him surrounded by some cute chicks that were around his age. Good work.
Number 58: King PK
Goddamn do I love that Avatar.
Number 57: El Santiaco
We both agree that the best zombie is a slow-moving zombie.
Number 56: Canadian Guitarist
He works at Wal-Mart, and because he’s a self-professed hippie I can’t imagine he takes much joy in helping his employer take over the world.
Number 55: Bps21
When you have me going, “Wow. This guy is really jaded,” you know you're doing something right.
Number 54: Cobain was Murdered
He's had an interesting selection of jobs, from his stint as a rugged lumberjack to being able to go to town with a store's slurpee machine.
Number 53: Banky
I’ve grown to like Banky (or whatever he’s calling himself this week).
Number 52: The Max
He’s more than accommodating when you’re asking questions about NHL ’06.
Number 50 and 51: Darrylxlf/AndrewTS
I can never remember which one is which, and I stopped trying to remember because it's a chore enough not to forget other things in life like "first pants then your shoes."
Number 49: Mole
I generally despise the “college lifestyle” and believe most people who engage in it need to be taken out to an alley and shot.
Number 48: Hoff
I'm still sure he spent $10.39 in Eden Prairie, MN, on a hooker.
Number 47: Cuban Linx
He’s a founding member of my football contest.
Number 46: Marvin is a Lunatic
When a male virgin finally achieves penetration because it’ll only last 5-10 seconds. Yes, I am speaking from personal experience.
Number 45: Canadian Chick
Having seen Canadian Chick do wrestling moves, I’m quite certain that not only can she blend in as being one of the guys (at least on the days where she’s not ragging it) but she could also probably pummel many of us with snap suplexes, half-nelsons or whatever those things are.
Number 44: Vyce
Vyce and I have this special connection, and no it’s not because we spy on all the pre-teen girls in our neighborhoods.
Number 43: Anglesaut
I'm fairly certain that these kids knew that the fire boom-boom stick would cause boo-boos.
Number 42: Rob E. Dangerously
He threatened to extort me once because I posted something good about John Kerry a long time ago that said I might consider voting for him.
Number 41: Canadian Chris
His name is Chris, and he is from Canada.
Number 40: Alfdogg
He helped out during the most recent kkk Bowl IV season. In fact, I think he handled it better than me.
Number 39: Dames
Without Dames, we wouldn’t be here today showing fellow posters pictures that we like, bitching about the latest RAW broadcast or saying how much this place sucks.
Number 38: Stephen Joseph
I just wish I knew what he did for a living.
Number 37: AlwaysPissedOff
I don’t think I’ve ever seen him pissed off, or even slightly irritated for that matter.
Number 36: Vitamin X
V-X would rather live in an America that resembles the commie commune many of his people risk their lives trying to flee.
Number 35: Damaramu
While known for his sports-folder meltdowns whenever the Oklahoma Sooners lost a football game, I’ll remember him better as that journalism student who vigorously pursued his dream of writing athlete profiles and game recaps.
Number 34: Carnival
If you don’t know what a juggalo is, just be thankful and move on.
Number 33: Hawk 34
He’s been suspected of being the previously banned poster Choken One, I really don’t care.
Number 32: Hogan Made Wrestling
He doesn’t seem to care much for blogs, which makes me wonder what the hell he’s doing on this list in the first place.
Number 31: Meatwad
When it comes to smart-ass replies, you can’t beat my Meat.
Number 30: Lovecraft
He hates freedom, to be sure. But he also hates commies, which is a bigger plus than the former is a minus.
Number 29: Spaceman Spiff
At the other place he came out defending the Supreme Communists of the United States.
Number 28: Gert T
Whenever I speak of my time in Middletown, Ohio, he actually knows what I’m talking about.
Number 27: Porter
Porter has been more than accommodating on AIM whenever I’ve had a question (or seven) about MVP Baseball 2005.
Number 26: BX
Just because I disagree with 99.999999999 percent of what someone thinks regarding politics (and I’m still waiting for that 0.000000001 percent of something we agree on) doesn't mean I have to hate him for it.
Number 25: Flyboy
I liked the little bugger, in a master-likes-his-slave sort of way.
Number 24: Teke184/cop/whoever
Teke can also find me entertaining at times … wait a second, that was tekecop.
Number 23: Bored
I wound up getting sodomized by Kotz in the Meow Mix Pussy Bowl – oh, yeah, and Kotz correctly predicted more games during Bowl Week than I did.
Number 22: Danny Dubya
The eastern part of this state is so contaminated with Democrats that if Three Mile Island would have had a full meltdown it would improve the region.
Number 21: Cartman
He did some “Survivor” deal back in ’03. We've been around that long?
Number 20: Al Keiper
He patrols with a big stick. That’s wooden. And made in Louisville. Well, maybe not Lousville – I have no idea what with globalization and all.
Number 19: The Real World’s Champion
It’s hard to go wrong with someone that starts a thread titled: “ Mikey was at my school...” followed by “No word on if the gym collapsed.....”
Number 18: Bravesfan
Years back he had some pick 'em football contest and I think it eventually drove him mad.
Number 17: Wildbomb 4:20
Wildbomb finally caught on and realized that nobody at this place is going to significantly change his or her opinions because some faceless message board poster said something smart.
Number 16: Cerebus
He moved on to do stuff in the real world, such as make babies with his hot wife, teach and do other grown-up stuff that I’m still trying to stay away from.
Number 15: Slayer
He’s got enough common sense to stay away from liberal craziness, but at the same time he shakes his head whenever his red state of Kansas acts like … well, a red state.
Number 14: King of the 909
From reading the limited entries in his blog it doesn’t appear that royalty in a state filled with illegal aliens would be all that appealing.
Number 13: NoCal Mike
He’s one of the few left-wingers that I believe would vote for Ralph Nader.
Number 12: Bigolsmitty
What separates Smitty from most of the Marxists here is that he’s actually funny with his shtick. And by funny I don’t mean C-Bacon funny.
Number 11: sfaJack
If it weren’t for saps like sfa and myself getting up for work, paying taxes and keeping this economy humming, then Pedro wouldn’t be sneaking across the southern border to pick lettuce and Mohammad wouldn’t be sneaking across the northern border to blow up a commerce center.
Number 10: Jobber of the Week
If he would be as fiscally responsible in Congress as he says he is at TSM, then I wouldn’t mind if some of his treasonous ideas got through the cracks.
Number 9: Mr. Rant
Is it really necessary to put a "NSFW" warning to a thread titled "THIS COMPLETELY RUINS A GOOD CUM BATH?"
Number 8: Ripper
For the last time, black people don't tip.
Number 7: Vern Gagne
He's the Conservative Brigade member who loads the ammo inside the tank.
Number 6: Black Lushus
Mr. Lushus is from Nebraska, has legitimate children and works a full-time job, so what little street cred he had is long gone.
Number 5: Cancer Marney
She’s my goddess, not to mention protector -- if not from Abdul flying in coach with that fuse hanging out from his shoe, then from posters from across the pond.
Number 4: MikeSC
For those of you that ventured into the Current Events folder in its heyday you will probably never look at a Michael from South Carolina the same way ever again.
Number 3: nl5xsk1
For more than THREE YEARS I’ve been involved in a shootout of insults with someone because of a split-second thought and a few keystrokes.
Number 2: Dr. Tom
Reporting for duty, General.
kkk's Top 103 Posters
Number 1: ???????
This selection may come as a surprise to some. Hell, this poster even once uttered one of my most hated lines of: “Can’t a cop/soldier just shoot someone in the leg instead of the chest so he doesn't get killed?” However, much like Padme when, with her final breath, said of her Jedi meat puppet, “there is good in him,” that is the same case with this poster – except for the gay sex and all that.
What got this poster so highly ranked? Well, for starters, he may hate his country, but he isn’t afraid to mock those who probably vote the same way he does in general elections. Also, CE vets may remember a few years ago back on April Fool’s Day a group of us deciding to post a mile in the other side’s shoes. Whose idea was it to do this? Mine, of course. But I needed a commie counterpart to pull this off, and this poster was more than happy to oblige. Then a few years later, after Eddie Guerrero passed away and the “You’re being serious” line became an instant classic, this same poster and I decided to spread the “_______ that make you think of Eddie Guerrero” threads to other folders.
Such as video games.
And movies.
And computers.
And books.
And porn.
And porn, again.
Was this dumb? Yeah. But was it funny? Well it seemed so at the time.
And while this poster hasn’t been around as often during W.'s second term than his first, the CE antics, along with a variety of other antics, made my final selection an easy choice. Besides, even though we were at opposite spectrums a few years ago (He's actually gotten quite conservative now that he's actually earning money and paying taxes, and Republicans have pissed me off quite a bit -- wait, does that mean the closer he got to the center was offset by my further tilt to the right because these so-called "small government" bitches in my Party have been anything but? Then again, I don't think I can get much more "conservative" because I don't consider myself much of a fundie, outside of the whole killing of the unborn. OK, now I'm really getting off track.), there are two things that will always unite message board posters: John Madden and porn. Err, let me rephrase that. How about the John Madden video game franchise and the porno industry? Yeah, that sounds better -- and it doesn't give "Boom! He's on his back!" a double meaning.
Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you…
…Dr. Tyler; Captain America
FOR AMERICA!!1++one, indeed.
