This Stinks … Pass It On.

 I heard it on the Internet … So it has to be true.  Here is another candidate for the Creative Endeavors Stinker of the Year award ……

From time to time, people send me stuff and it just amazes me how some folks can be so gullible or buy into a lot of this “Internet Information pass it on garbage.”  The last time I got something so foolish as this was a UFO Blather Email thing back in March.

Read this, this stinks.

Keep an Eye on your license plate. 
From a State Office: 

Pass it on to those you know. Thanks.  

A woman said her son found his license plate missing so he called  the police to file a report. They told him people were stealing the plates to get free gas. Given the rise in gas prices, people have taken to stealing license plates, putting them on their car, then getting gas and running. The gas station will have “your” license plate # and you could be in trouble  for  “pump and run.” Check your car periodically to be sure you still have a plate. If you should find it missing, file a  report immediately!!! Keep an eye on your license plate! Make sure you always know it’s there! When the license plate is reported as the  “drive off vehicle”, it’s YOU they contact! Be aware!!!! Be aware of your license plates, most of us never look to see if the plates are there or not.

Now I don’t know about the rest of you, but I have for about two years now, been required or forced “to pay up front first” for motor fuel or I simply did not get any.  I cannot for the life of me, at these prices, even imagine someone allowing you to pump first and pay later.  My last tank was well over $80 and I had gas in the sucker when I drove in there.

Pump and then pay is now long gone sports-fans … That like cheap gasoline … Is now a thing of the past … It just aint gonna happen. 

This is laughable at best.  KInd of pathetic.

Instead of “checking your car periodically to be sure you still have a plate.”  Perhaps it should be “check your brain to see if you still have one.”

Most American’s in this day and age generally speaking are aware of who is rippin’ off who at the gas pumps … Here is a little clue … They don’t require your stolen tag in order to do it.

Pass that on … to everyone you know … and I suppose, don’t know.

 Where do people get this —-

Give me a break.

California Gay’s are lining up to get married.  There seems to be a big rush to the altar now that California pushed thru the new law.  Ellen DeGeneres and Portla De Rossi are going to tie the knot.  Star Trek’s George Takel will marry his partner, Brad Altman. 

40% of Americans say marriage between same-sex couples should be afforded full legal recognition, while 56% say it should not.  4% are unsure.  Just 16% said a political candidate “must share” their views on the issue in order to win their support.

I suppose the judge’s or new-age pastors at these same sex marriages will have problems.  “Which one of you is the male and which is the female?”  And the reply, “Uh, what do you mean?”  I mean, “Which one of you has the menstrual cycle and who doesn’t?”  

“Oh … It must be Bruce, he has a Suzuki.”

A U.S. Border Patrol agent assigned to southern Arizona admitted taking $45,000 in bribes to smuggle more than 3,000 lbs. of marijuana into the country in his government vehicle.  Agent Juan Luis Sanchez of Rio Rico pleaded guilty to several charges and resigned after entering a plea.  He will get 10-15 years in the slammer for his loyalty to the rest of us.  Seems fitting, going to jail with a the best of the best and being a cop on top of that, this is not going to be easy time.

The Vatican says that “reaching into space and other planets” doesn’t mean that there is a lack of understanding concerning God or faith in God.  Upon hearing this, President Bush immediately called NASA in Houston, Texas and told them to program the music “If I Had A Hammer” to the new Mar’s probe. 

There should be a bumper sticker on it somewhere that states, “We Have Screwed Up Our Planet … Now We Are Here For Yours.”

I couldn’t be more under whelmed in my life. Nothing has ever disappointed me more than our multi-billion dollar quest for pictures of rocks. Why are we going to Mars to see cracks in ground? I could have driven to Western Oklahoma and got you these photos for a little over a hundred dollars.

And just for the record our rocks are as red as anyone’s in space, we are known for our red rocks. 

In the end, we will spend hundred’s of millions of dollars (perhaps even billions) on this space exploration thing.  And the government will announce that the rings of Saturn are composed entirely of lost airline luggage and nothing more.  I don’t think we’re gonna find anything useful between here and Pluto. We kinda know what’s out there.

This one’s full of hot gas. You’ll burst into flame if you land here. This one’s full of red dusty rocks and maybe there’s a face on it. Nothing to do here.  Two to beam up Scotty …. Energize.

Speaking of Energizing?  If you are buying batteries, you could be getting ripped off in a pretty big way.  A reader recently sent me this link on batteries and I thought I would pass it on.  So if your charge isn’t what it used to be (and really, who’s is?) then you might want to check into it. 

From a personal standpoint, it has been so long since I had a decent charge in life, I have forgotten where it is you hook up the jumper cables.  But that is another story altogether.

Now if this doesn’t make you smile, nothing will.  Bad week for shootouts.  After a restaurant owner and a security guard got into an argument in a Boulder Colorado parking lot this week.  They actually shot each other with Taser Guns!  Leaving them both agonized on the ground.  Talk about a bonehead deal, this has to qualify.

I sit back, form a mental picture of that in my mind, and dog-gone it, it just makes me smile.

Pretty Women

Chinese food for lunch today, I am looking forward to it.  Asian women seem to catch my eye, I am into them.  When you eat Chinese food, one of the benefits of this, is of course, a high concentration of Asian women.  You know Chinese wait staff girls are certainly attractive, I noticed that recently.

Asian women are beautiful. Asian guys, well, they are relegated to “tech support.”

Over at the Super-Center the other day and saw this girl, all decked out to the nines, clearly a professional woman.  She was looking so good, and she had two small boys with her, dressed in Soccer Attire.  I thought to myself, “here is a girl who has put in a long day at work, now she is shopping’ for the family, taking it home, cooking it up and taking care of the brood.”

My hat is off to her.  Women work too hard, for too little in this day and age, and they surely have their hands full.  They clearly deserve more credit for what they do in the home …

We went to the Mall yesterday and I started it again.  The younger generation, whatever they are calling them this week, they tend to really bug me.  “I just want to grab ‘em, every one of ‘em, and say ….. Listen, the bill of the cap goes on the front of your face, tie your damn shoes, and pull up them baggy pants, yo’ underwear is showing!’ But Cup Cake reined me in and told me to cool it.

T-Shirt at the Mall:  “I graduated, where is my car?” Yup, that sounds like the American Way to me.

Paper says that I am going to get my economic stimulus check in the first week of June.  Gee whiz, isn’t’ that just peachy cool.  Things must be getting tight, I notice that my neighbor across the street is taking his own lunch to the Indian Casino’s now, must be rough.

Aren’t Y’all (Okie Talk) proud of me, I made it all the way to the bottom of the page, and haven’t mentioned gasoline one time.  It is part of my new attitude adjustment thing I am working on.  I find that nothing can destroy my mood quicker than a trip to the 7-11 for a fill up on one of our trucks.  I can be in a great mood, up and until I pull up to the pump and I look at the price of the fuel.

This is when I discovered a kinky little quirk in my personality.  If you’re normal, you periodically feel little surges of anger that you don’t express.  Which can of course be risky in today’s PC society.

Suppressing your feelings over a period of time, can be dangerous not only to yourself but to bystanders, other people in the area at the time.  I believe the teen-agers call it going “postal.”  So I have found something that seems to work for me.

Before heading down to the root n scoot for fuel.  I go into the garage, close the door and then I throw about a five-minute snot-nosed fit-ritual about twice a week.  My new self induced therapy procedure with no witnesses except the cat, and even he is not sticking around for any of it here lately, I notice he is avoiding me like I have rabies.

For four minutes, you fume, seethe, curse and yell.  You huff, puff, the vein on your neck sticks out!

For the final sixty seconds, you compel yourself to laugh, as hard as you can, uncontrollably if this is possible.  This free’s up all them End-o-morphine things that reside in your body next to your fat cells and hormones.  Immediately afterwards, you load up in the car/truck, rush down and pay for your motor fuel, this is when you enter into the hysterical crying phaseof the process.

We will cover that tomorrow along with locking gas caps, and proper air pressure.

I am now going to devote the rest of this day to some kind of timewaster or cheap thrill.  Such as giving my bologna a middle name, or some other important issue.  I am not, under any circumstances going to mow, sack, cut, trim, sweep, take to the curb or re-arrange anything other than the head pillows on my easy boy recliner.

It’s a tough job … but someone has to do it.
