Ebola

Holy Ebola Batman!

I don’t know what the heck this is, but it’s been on my arm for the past week.  It could be bug bites or mold.  We’ve got mold.  We’re not sure what kind yet.  It could be aggressive and deadly or just mold.  I didn’t realize that mold could be aggressive and deadly.  Apparently building codes [...]

HDTV

Holy flying monkey balls!  This is freaking retarded. 
On Thursday I called Directv to upgrade to HDTV.  This included a new HD DVR, a new 5-LNB dish and a new multiswitch.  On Friday the guys showed up with a new HD DVR.  No dish.  It wasn’t even on the order form.  So I called Directv.  The [...]

Rain = Panic

It rained so hard yesterday afternoon that I could barely see the car in front of me on the way home.  Some pretty nice thunderstorms.  While I was sitting on my sofa at home I could hear a news helicopter hovering outside.  I looked up and watched it circle – wondering what it was covering.  [...]

Bowling for Columbine

I just finished watching Bowling for Columbine.  When I watched Fahrenheit 911 I thought it was a collection of correlations – here’s W talking to the Saudis, there’s the Saudis talking to Bin Laden, therefore W must have planned 911.  I found BFC more believable.  And I can see the progression from this to F911.  BFC [...]

Cold Cases

I saw something on the news last week about Natalie Holloway.  When did that happen?  Like two years ago?  What’s the deal with that?  And Chandra Levey?  Who killed her?  Cold cases.  Too bad.

Fire and Nails

Last week sometime I had a pretty sweet and yet some how disturbing dream.  It was probably from reading The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich all day. 
I was in a room.  But the room wasn’t empty.  It was full of nails.  They didn’t hurt me, it was like one of those metal things [...]

Golden Showers

Today, when I was leaving work I stopped in the bathroom for a pit stop.  Apparently they had a retarded janitor today because the plastic thing that holds the urinal cake was upside-down.  I didn’t notice this as I am a stare-up-at-the-wall kind of urinater (and on occasion, hands free).  So I look down and [...]

HOV Asshats

This is great.  Sluggy sent me this this morning:
Today the funniest thing happened on the way to work. Felix and I carpool. On
rte 270 South there’s a HOV-2 lane all the way down to where it merges w/ 495.
All the time we see dickwads riding solo in the HOV-2 lane. Occasionally, more
now than before, we [...]

Bye bye Hitler

For almost three years I’ve been reading The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich.  That includes a year off.  Since I had some free time over our anniversary weekend I resolved to finish it off.  There is so much I could say.  Hitler was a genius.  He was able to capitalize on a number [...]

One Year and Counting…

To celebrate our one year anniversary we headed out to St. Michael’s, Maryland – “the town that fooled the British.”  Just a quick trip away.  Not the ten day adventure that was our honeymoon.  St. Michael’s is great – it was less then a two hour drive and we stopped by an outlet mall on [...]
