I hate printers

I hate printers.

I have a home network with 8 computers on it, a mix of Vista, Windows 7, and Linux (two flavors there too).

There's always a problem with printers.

I hate printers.

I just watched the movie "Office Space", where they take a printer out into a field and beat it apart.  It reminded me of the time I took a Brother printer/scanner/fax and tossed it from the first floor to the concrete basement floor.   It broke up and out.

It felt great!

I hate printers!

Is there anyone more ignorant.....

Is there anyone more ignorant than a TV news announcer?   I'm not talking about the weather man or woman - they do have some knowledge.  I'm talking about the sheet-readers.

Can someone explain to me why some dipshit with a microphone is automatically given our spellbound attention to listen to their every word?  To accept what they say as though it is right, and important?

Do you ever listen to these clowns?  They don't know their ass from a hole in the ground!

They ask questions.  They don't know enough to give insightful answers.  They don't recognize them when they hear them.  The questions don't have to be smart - they just have to ask it.  They don't know if it's been answered or not, any answer will do.

They think function follows form.  Or they would, if they knew what it meant.

Biased?  Not them!

My Neighbor Never Stops Talking

My neighbor never stops talking.  There's no point in even trying to communicate with her - she will talk over you anyway.  She's obviously not interested in anything anyone else has to say.

My sweet wife just said: "There's more mouth on that woman than ass on a goose!"

Tossing Facebook

I've decided to 'deactivate' my facebook account.  I already had all of my security pretty closed down, but still had some unsettling security issues pop up.

I recently went to a NBC News site, where I was reading about California's effort to place a tax on Amazon's book sales over the Internet.

At the bottom of the article was my facebook picture, along with an invitation to post a comment via my facebook page.

I went to facebook to check to ensure all of the security options, all 3 or 4 pages of them, were restrictive - they were.

So I've shutdown my account.

Can't say I'm going to miss it.  Seems most of my friends never posted anything, just added friends.  Those that did post typically just posted a link to something, never a comment.  So there was never anything worth reading there anyway.

Re End of the World Today

Dang.  I took a nap and missed the end of the world.

I looked around and thought at first my sweet wife was gone, but she was busy with dinner, so she's still here.  Not sure why.  Figure she got special dispensation for the weekend, be gone Monday.

Figure it will just be me and a bunch of Democrats.

And maybe Newt.

Golfers with Business to Conduct - Wyndham Resort Golf Course, Edisto Beach SC

We are staying on the 18th hole golf course here at the Wyndham Resort on Edisto Island.

We became aware of frequent side excursions, by golfers, usually without clubs, and no where near where their golf ball landed.

So I decided to start taking pictures of these side excursions, as they were happening directly in front of us, in plain view of everyone.

Have a look at some interesting pictures! I took them in a 15 minute time frame.

I'm thinking about placing a banner on our deck that advertises golfing pictures for sale.

It's just a steady stream of these guys on the weekend!

Wonder what they were doing?

There's a "things to do" here at the resort, but I don't recall seeing this as a featured item!

Can someone explain to me....

Can someone explain to me why our culture has taken to referring to women as 'bitches'?

What a bunch of crap.

In my life, women have repeatedly stepped up to take care of me when I was a boy, and when I was a man, while all the men disappeared.

What a bunch of crap.
