1. Put on some hard-soled shoes.

2. Get on a hardwood floor.

3. Pretend your apartment is infested with little lizards.

4. Groove to an Overnight Open Thread.

    Waynes World is totally Scarborough territory. Eastern suburb of Toronto. That’s one reason why it got such good play here in Canada. Everyone could identify with Wayne and Garth.

    Oh, and wait till you hear the NBC “explanation” — it was so he could “focus on his political commentary show.” Yeah, right. it was because they got hundreds of thousands of emails from fans saying he goes or we go! Everyone I know and on Freep and other blogs said they would not watch either the pregame or halftime shows because he was on and many just skipped the game altogether because he was a part of it.

    Personally, I think they had a hard time as well after Rush was denied ownership of the Rams because of his political views and this hack piece of shit was broadcasting on a dias with the NFL logo.


  36. Flyboy
    36 | August 10, 2010 11:43 pm

    Hi All…

    all of you have prolly heard of the mention of my name through Carolina Girl…

    I am flyboy. This is my first blogging experience. Let me start with a somewhat brief bio.

    My parents had me and gave a more conventional name, Briboy. At the ripe old age of 16 I soloed a Cessna, and after a long court battle my name was changed to flyboy. I graduated from high school soon after and the name on my cake was Brain… Appropriate, since I graduated with honers and apparently the cake maker did not.

    Now, several years later, our hero (me) finds himself working in an industry that I can’t divulge what I do. Matter of fact, It’s so secret I don’t even know what I do. So don’t even ask, because I could tell you, but I would have to… Oh jeeeeeze, I’m not using THAT old used up stupid tired (am I talking about Nancy Pelosi?)
    Expression…

    So, I welcome me aboard, and thank me very much………

    When I’ve seen Olbermann on NFL shows in the past, I’ve changed the channel.

    I can’t stand to look at that man’s face regardless of what he’s talking about or what channel he’s on.

    It’s like looking into a stopped-up and feces-filled toilet — TOXIC!

    Super Bowl champs are dead meat. Usually, they are the ones everyone wants to beat, kind of like the Cowboys. Repeats are rare, Green Bay in the ’60s, Pittsburgh twice in the ’70s, San Fran in the ’80s, Dallas & Denver in the ’90s, and New England in the ’00s. They get the toughest schedule also. Good luck Saints, you’ll need it.

    Hey Calo, about the meet up. I am going to work up a post for the blog and see if the admins will through it up. I have looked at events for that weekend and there are some interesting things we could all do. There is an event at the Holocaust museum, and there are some cool things at a arboretum in Pasadena. Unfortunately there are no Tea Party functions that I could find. Most of the local groups are trying to go to D.C. that weekend. Of course I thought that if nothing else we could pick a park and all meet up there and have BBQ and hangout. That way people feel comfortable bringing their kids if they would like to. Then there is also the possibility of having a BBQ at mom’s place in Conroe. I am open to suggestions of course.

    Hi All…
    all of you have prolly heard of the mention of my name through Carolina Girl…
    I am flyboy. This is my first blogging experience. Let me start with a somewhat brief bio.
    My parents had me and gave a more conventional name, Briboy. At the ripe old age of 16 I soloed a Cessna, and after a long court battle my name was changed to flyboy. I graduated from high school soon after and the name on my cake was Brain… Appropriate, since I graduated with honers and apparently the cake maker did not.
    Now, several years later, our hero (me) finds himself working in an industry that I can’t divulge what I do. Matter of fact, It’s so secret I don’t even know what I do. So don’t even ask, because I could tell you, but I would have to… Oh jeeeeeze, I’m not using THAT old used up stupid tired (am I talking about Nancy Pelosi?)

    So, I welcome me aboard, and thank me very much………

    That ding thing killed his blog even before he purged. The dings made it into a popularity contest to garner karma points. Has Chuck ever posted an irrational comment that got -1, or even 0?

    Without looking, I bet he’s not had a single comment that didn’t earn 5 updings or more, no matter how off-topic or vapid his comment was.

    He remembers me at 16. I am not 16 anymore. I am not the same
    person. He has even told his daughters about me and how great
    I was and such. The sad thing is that he had a beautiful wife and
    always threw me up in her face. She told me. She thought that I
    was the problem. I made it clear to her that he has tormented me
    all these years and wanted nothing to do with him. She finally
    divorced him….I am no longer afraid. He doesn’t have the balls
    to actually do something to me. He is afraid of my husband as he

    not to mention he hasn’t threatened me only has stalked me.
    Plus a restraining order may push him over the edge.
    I have thought about it but sometimes when these types of people are
    pushed into a corner …then they make threats and become more aggressive. So far before ID ….he scared the hell out of me.
    Now if i see his name i don’t answer. Not to mention he has been quiet of late…plus I wouldn’t know even when he does his drive-by’s.
    He would have to come to my house and try to speak to me or make threats which have not happened.

    Well I was actually aware of that. Zeppelin is my all time favorite band. I fell in love with them at 18. There was almost an entire year where all I listened to was Zep. Atleast when I was the one choosing the music. The amount of blues influence in their music is amazing. In fact here is another one played by them that I would put in the top 5 easily.

    We’re about the same age, and I liked LZ, too. It was later that I found out that many popular bands were ripping off old blues standards, as well as chumping living legends without credit, let alone royalties, that I started listening to and supporting the originals.

    Lily, what you must do is keep a log of all his attempts to contact you. Every phone call, every drive-by, write it down in a diary or a log book. Let your family know what you are doing. Then if you have to go to court for a restraining order, or if you have to shoot the SOB, you have documentary evidence of the stalking.

    Not ALL Muslims are a threat, and I’ll defend my Muslim friends. Just because McVeigh, Manson, the Klan and the Weathermen were all brought up as Christians, that makes you and I terrorists, too? FUCK NO.

    Except for the minor detail that McVeigh, Manson, the Klan and the Weathermen were following no known version of Christianity in the commission of their crimes, and that Islamic terrorists are doing precisely what their religion dictates.

    Radical Muslims proselytize AND are political.

    Restraining orders are worth less than the paper they’re printed on. At least the blank paper can be used for something worthwhile…

    That’s why we have a Second Amendment.
    More guns = less crime, and also fewer stalkers.
    If stalkers realize that a goodly percentage of the population has firearms and ammo, and are prepared to use same in defense of self and family, there would be a lot fewer stalkers. They may be nuts, but they can still calculate the risk/reward ratio.

    I would have to stay by the window for the drive-by’s and I made a log of his calls it is not a very good pattern. The most he has said is that he wants me to be divorced.
    I actually answered one of his calls and chewed him out and told him
    that i have no desire to leave my husband for a washed up alchohlic.
    And that his fantanies of me were just that and to leave me alone..

    Although I’m a Patron member of the NRA and a concealed carry permit holder, I’m not sure that you can really reason with most stalkers, or if they’re capable of doing that calculation.

    If they were, they wouldn’t be stalkers in the first place, because there’s pretty much no possibility of “reward” in their behavior.

    Stalkers are unusual people. Most are not actually dangerous, they just have a disconnected personality which fixates on people they have imaginary relationships with.

    I say usually aren’t dangerous because while they have disconnected personalities most do not suffer from psychotic breaks from reality.

    Because they have disconnected personalities they do not connect very well with other people, they have distant relationships with the people in their actual lives.

    They fixate on individuals, observe and learn as much as they can about that individual and create an imaginary personal connection between themselves and that individual.

    Since the majority of stalkers, like I said, are not actually suffering from psychotic breaks from reality they are aware that the object of their fixation doesn’t actually know them.

    So they eventually attempt to make contact with the object of their fixation in order to introduce themselves. They believe that since they know so much about that individual and “Have so much in common” with that individual that once they meet they will naturally automatically be great friends or possibly even lovers.

    Once the stalker has met the object of their fixation that alone is usually enough to disrupt the fantasy and end the fixation. That usually happens because they discover that the object of their fixation really isn’t who they thought they were at all.

    With most stalker’s that where it ends, because like I said, most stalker’s are a little disturbed, more disconnected than anything else, but not actually psychotic. It’s the ones who have suffered a psychotic break with reality that are a serious problem.

    And yea, for some strange reason those usually are women.

    How would I know? I have had to deal with my share of stalkers, and they can genuinely be creepy as hell.

    Hey, if you are in your 50′s and stalking a girl you dated for a couple of months when you were 16 and cant accept that it is over and move on, you have had a psychotic break with reality and are a serious threat to yourself and society let alone the individual you are stalking.

    Montreal newspaper defends Jewish cartoon

    The cartoon, which was published in the July 2010 issue of La Metropole, depicts a Hasidic Jew calling to passengers from his cab, labelled Taxi de David, “Come in! May Yaveh be with you …” The headline of the cartoon reads, “A taxi transformed into a … synagogue?”

    By definition a cartoon is meant to be an exaggeration, said Richard Marcil, editor-in-chief of La Metropole.

    “We saw nothing offensive in it,” Marcil said of the cartoonist Métyvié’s drawing.

    It was meant to raise questions about a local news event and was not published with anti-Semitic sentiment, he said.

    The cartoon refers to the story of Montreal cab driver Arieh Perecowicz, who was fined $1,400 by the Montreal Taxi Bureau for having too much stuff in his cab, including photos of his family and his Rabbi, mezuzahs (prayer parchments), a poppy and a Canadian flag, among other things.

    A cartoon may not have been the best way to tackle the issue of religious symbols and cluttered cabs, said John Miller, professor emeritus in the School of Journalism at Ryerson University and an expert in journalism ethics.

    “All media, as our cities become more cosmopolitan, have to learn how to respect people of different faiths and ethnicities,” he said on the phone from his home west of Toronto.

    The public reaction to this cartoon is healthy and is also instructive for the editors at La Metropole, he said.

    However, the best way to handle a situation like this involves more than an apology and an explanation of the cartoon, Miller added. “(La Metropole) should publish a range of opinion in their pages and thoroughly air (the issue) out,” he said.

    “What the public is crying out for here is a dialogue.”

    If the cartoon had depicted a muslim, I wonder what the public would be crying out for?

    Iran warns ‘we have dug mass graves for your soldiers’ in response to U.S. attack threat

    Iran has dug mass graves in which to bury U.S. troops in case of any American attack on the country, a commander of the elite Revolutionary Guard said today.

    He added that a military strike would spark an ‘extensive war’ in the region.

    The announcement appears to be a show of bravado after the chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff, Admiral Mike Mullen, said last week that the U.S. military had a contingency plan to attack Iran – although he admitted a military strike was probably a bad idea.

    Didn’t “so-damn insane” pull the same stunt, and threaten the “mother of all battles” prior to us beating him like a rug prior to the invasion of Iraq? May it work out as well for dinner-jacket.

    Fears of al–Qaida return in Iraq as US–backed fighters defectAmerican allies the Sons of Iraq being offered more money by al–Qaida to switch sides

    Martin Chulov in Baghdad guardian.co.uk, Tuesday 10 August 2010 20.38 BST Article history

    Members of the Sons of Iraq. A leader of the group says some are being paid by al-Qaida. Photograph: Petros Giannakouris/AP

    Al-Qaida is attempting to make a comeback in Iraq by enticing scores of former Sunni allies to rejoin the terrorist group by paying them more than the monthly salary they currently receive from the government, two key US-backed militia leaders have told the Guardian.

    They said al-Qaida leaders were exploiting the imminent departure of US fighting troops to ramp up a membership drive, in an attempt to show that they are still a powerful force in the country after seven years of war.

    Al-Qaida is also thought to be moving to take advantage of a power vacuum created by continuing political instability in Iraq, which remains without a functional government more than five months after a general election.

    How’s that deadline to drawdown working for ya, Obama? I guess he figured he’d done so much for al Qaeda that thye wouldn’t want to make him look bad in Iraq. I guess he figured wrong.

It’s a good thing we have some sensibility in Ottawa and we didn’t fork out huge bucks on stimulus. As well the previous Liberal government wasn’t doing the whole tax and spend they usually did. Over all things are looking decent. It will be rough there for a bit but not devastating.
