Hey Geeks

Why did it take me a year to see this?





I feel failed by my geek peeps.

Though, still not as amusing as Bi-Curious George.

Ohes Noes! You are all going to die!

From the NY Times (by the way, if you live in an area that has newspaper called the times, it is a pale imitation of the Old Grey Lady and you should be ashamed of yourself for reading it...) Alerts...

"Obama Declares H1N1 Flu a National Emergency

President Obama has declared the swine flu outbreak a
national emergency."

Oh yeah, you are all going to die. I have survived it therefore, I am your king. Thou shall have no other Lord and Master before me.

I will bring you soup, so long as you swear loyalty to me.

Just giving you the heads up in the new reality that Obama has given us.

Zombies

I have the make-up...

I have the idea for the outfit.

I will be ready for the Zombie Walk tomorrow.

Alan Shepard

“When reporters asked Shepard what he thought about as he sat atop the Redstone rocket, waiting for liftoff, he had replied, 'The fact that every part of this ship was built by the low bidder.'”

They Make Great Pets

As you know (or you may not), I am currently living with a black dog and a white cat. The will share my bed but not in a comfortable way.

Yesterday, Curly hopped up on the bed to snuggle which caused Hemingway to wake, yawn, hiss and take a swat at an indifferent dog.

With that as the baseline, I have decided to rename the animals

From this day forward, Curly will now be known as Palestine and Hemmingway will be known as Israel.

Please understand this transition may be difficult for the entire family.

This made me laugh in an ironic way...

Oh yes, this company is the perfect example of the Pharmacist. Which is representative of Albany how?

Maybe I am just surly and bitter but...yeah. No!

Sometimes I love this area...

And sometimes I hate it...



Latham Chipotle opening Nov. 6
By STEVE BARNES

COLONIE -- The Capital Region's second Chipotle Mexican Grill will open Friday, Nov. 6, at 694 Troy-Schenectady. . .

Why is this news? It isn't very good (Chipolte, not the article, which is well written), and it looks like something that would be in the Onion.

*sigh*

The Colors of Fall in Upstate NY

Taken in the Corning Preserve

Living Breathing Cliche

Sitting in a coffee shop, dicking around with a laptop, and hearing the Indigo Girls' "Closer to Fine" coming over the PA...

No, not cliche at all...

Happy. Day?

I am more than a little happy that this is not happening, however, I fear that without merging, one of them will fail.

Hopefully it will be CBA.

More on H1N1

Really? The flu is a hoopla? Really? With infants dying and with hospitals full, you refer to this emerging pandemic as a hoopla? That is wonderfully glib about something that is causing death and pain to thousands of people within your readership.

Baseball

Met Fan(Me): The Phillies and Philadelphia are a cancer on the body of American sport.

Philly Fan: You're stupid.

That, gentle readers, says it all.

Very Short Story

I put my youngest into a homemade rocket pointed at the moon and pressed launch. I wouldn't make the mistake of hiding him in the attic.

Weird and Disturbing

I had an awful dream this morning.

Zombies.

I was trapped in a building that was vaguely institutional with a well forested hill behind it.

The zombies attacked without warning and the power went out immediately. So, it was dark and terrifying and I was trying to protect TEA from everyone, zombies and people alike. Typical to the normal zombie attack, the people were as inhumane as the living dead.

I ended up losing TEA when we had to abandon the building and I watched with horror as he was ripped apart by three of the undead.

I screamed in the dream and started running frantically.

As I was running, Michael Moore stepped out and yelled, "Cut and Print!"

But...TEA was still dead.

I woke up exhausted and terrified.

Oh, America!

Octomom thinks that Jon Gosselin is "hot".

Ladies, take a look at that! That is 190 lbs of Grade A American Douche. I mean, who would not want a piece of that Ed Hardy fan? Especially if you have 14 kids already.

Go Nadia, you crazy breeder, and land Jon for yourself!

I have a question...why are these people famous? I know Shawn Kemp has a lot of children, but the reason he is famous is because he could play basketball quite well.

All these people do is mix and match sperm and egg and have it implanted.

I do believe that people who have more than two children to be...mentally unbalanced and this public crushing just helps prove my point.

More and more, I am beginning to hate people.

Further Proof

That the Patriots are just a classless organization.

Can I get an amen?

I called it

Thank you FAU for acknowledging my brilliance.

It has been...

...Years since I last read the local paper. Maybe even a decade since I picked it up regularity and longer than that since I had a subscription (think Seattle Times) to one.

Therefore, I have missed the quality of the people writing into the local fish wrapper (TM "Le Show") in the age of blogs.

I took the time to read the letters written to express disgust and disbelief about what is going on.

These letters are almost always written by people living in some craptacular 'burb-clave (think driving to a strip mall to eat at Chili's or Applebee's, think no sidewalks, think of well...Glenn Beck's America) and I wouldn't trust these people to have an opinion about what ice cream they like let alone the positions they hold about policy questions.

So...have we gone so far that people are too dull, too uniformed to rant into the ether of the web are allowed to still have a voice. In a Hearst paper. In 2009.

Hate them. Hate the paper. Hate the mouth breathers.

(BTW, what set me off was the crazed rantings of someone from Colonie regarding Rush Limbaugh and his aborted purchase of a share of the St. Louis Rams.)

Sexy Pet Costumes?

So, I was listening to "Wait Wait...Don't Tell Me" and the story about sexy Halloween costumes for your pets made me think that there are a lot of sad & scary people out there.

Seriously? You want to dress your animal up, fine. You think that Halloween is the perfect time to tart it up, okay. I think sets of people are kind of odd, but the the combination of this two groups is pathetic.

I am...ugh...disappointed in humanity yet again.
