Tag - Smack you on the ass!


Bella tagged me. She tied me to the bed and tagged me all night long. Yeah baby, yeah!

SEVEN RANDOM AND/OR WEIRD FACTS ABOUT ME.


Fact 1 - I once had an orgasm so hard that I shot the ceiling. Needless to say, it was a long time ago.

Fact 2 - When I was a teenager the only beer I could get my hands on tasted like piss, so I learned to funnel just to make it easier to get drunk without having to taste the nasty cheap beer.

Fact 3 - Being a master of funneling beer came in handy when pledging a fraternity in college. Who knew it would turn out to be such an important skill?

Fact 4 - My dad used to show me The Playboy Channel on TV because he said he wanted me to be comfortable around sexy beautiful women and not be nervous. I suppose the idea of simply taking me somewhere that sexy beautiful women hung out and letting me talk to them in person never crossed his mind. Dad was always heavily into the theoretical and not so much into the practical application side of things.

Fact 5 - When I was a kid I used to ride nearby motocross trails on my bicycle. When I was older I got a motorcycle and rode those same trails. I had much worse wrecks on my bicycle than I ever did on my motorcycle. But out on the street, it's been just the opposite. Apparently asphalt hurts more and more the faster you go.

Fact 6 - I once punted a guy's face while in a fight after he tried to kick me in the balls. You'd think that you'd already be as mad as you could possibly get if you're in the middle of a fight, but apparently that isn't necessarily so. Sexual assault has a way of finding a whole new level of anger in a person. His face gushed blood like a fucking slasher movie and I was glad. He also instantly lost all interest in continuing with the fight. Sometimes two big old handfuls of your own blood will change your perspective. Hmm, I wonder if I could make that into a snappy slogan and put it on a T-shirt?

Fact 7 - My father was as cheap a man as ever lived. He wouldn't take one of his kids to the hospital for anything, especially if it was me. Consquently, I had a number of hospital-worthy injuries treated with some weird attempts at first aid. Vaseline, duct tape, and Vodka were my dad's solution to almost everything. Did I mention I have mad skills with a funnel?


I suppose now I'm supposed to tag people? OK, let's see who I can torment with this.

I tag:

Spiky Zora Jones - because she's mad at me and won't even talk to me now, let alone accept this tag. But I like her anyway because I'm a fucking doormat.

Steph of Australia - because I heard a rumor that she's pregnant. I mean, I heard a rumor that she's back on The Blog again and I'm hoping to guilt her into making the rumor come true.

Kylie of Elegantly Wasted (aka Bad Kylie) - because she's never even visited my blog, let alone accepted a tag from me. Also, I've been living on her couch playing XBox while she hid in the bathroom for the past week or so and this is my way of saying 'thanks'.

Stacy the Peanut Queen - because she's my bestie bloggie buddy and I know she's done this one as many times as I have, so it should be as hard for her at this point as it was for me.

Fingers - because he'll never accept the tag, but if he does, God only knows what he'll come up with.

Unique Stephen - because he's had an exciting and interesting life and I'm sure he could come up with 100 times as many interesting things as this tag requires.

Kylie (aka Good Kylie) - because she's always being confused with bad Kylie and has been a really good sport about it. And also she visits my blog and might actually do this tag.



And now for something much more entertaining than my life ...

The Egg Bowl and Egg Trophy

Today the annual Egg Bowl takes place between Mississippi State and Ole Miss...below is the history behind the Egg Bowl and the Golden Egg Trophy... (Golden Egg Trophy, photo, right)

Up until 1926, Ole Miss had claimed only five wins in the previous twenty-three meetings of the teams. When Ole Miss beat what was then known as Mississippi A&M College 7 to 6, the Ole Miss fans were celebratory, rushing the field, some trying to tear the goalposts down. A&M fans did not take well to the Ole Miss fans celebrations, and fights broke out all over the field between the schools' fans. Some A&M fans defended the goal posts with wooden chairs, and several injuries were reported. Ole Miss and A&M students vowed then that such an incident should not happen again.

The result was the "Golden Egg", a trophy to cool the heat of battle - the trophy, not the goalposts, would be the winners' reward. The name derives from a large trophy which has been awarded to the winning team each year since 1927. The trophy consists of a large football-shaped brass piece mounted to a wooden base and traditionally symbolizes supremacy in college football in the state of Mississippi for the year. The footballs used in American football in the 1920s were considerably more ovoid and blunter than those in use today and similar to the balls still used in rugby; the shape of the football on the trophy naturally depicts a football from the era when the trophy was first awarded. The trophy thus, to modern eyes, more resembles an egg than a football. The awarding of the "Golden Egg" was instituted in 1927 by joint agreement between the two schools student bodies.[3]

For many years this game was played at Mississippi Veterans Memorial Stadium in Jackson, which seats approximately 62,000 spectators. There were several reasons behind this. Besides being centrally located in the state, at the time it was the only venue in the state capable of seating the anticipated crowd; for many years Vaught-Hemingway Stadium in Oxford seated only about 32,000 and Scott Field in Starkville seated only about 31,000.

Both have been considerably expanded and are now capable of accommodating the crowds which can realistically be expected, and both on-campus venues have been continually upgraded to the point where they are actually superior in amenities to Mississippi Veterans Memorial Stadium, so the decision was made to move the game into a home-and-home series in the 1990s. It was decided that the on-campus atmosphere is generally better; the game is now more useful for both schools as a recruiting tool, and this has the additional advantage of only requiring the bulk of one team's core fan base to make a road trip rather than both of them as was previously the case.

Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving, all you poo flinging monkeys!











And to all you dern foreign heathens who don't celebrate Thanksgiving - party at Kylie's. See you there.

Bring alcohol.

Clothing optional





Here's a video about a traditional Thanksgiving to show all you non-Americans what you're missing ...

Texas A&M and Bonfire

Back in the days of Jackie Sherrill, this was a rivalry game that Texas A&M usually won...but times have changed...the Aggies no longer build the annual bonfire, on campus, after the tragedy that took place about ten years ago...this year, this is a game the Longhorns must win - and win impressively...

Texas A&M @ Texas
Kirk Bohls of the Austin American-Statesman writes about the demise of the Texas A&M football program... "Is Texas A&M the new Baylor? Was hiring Mike Sherman a mistake? How long will it take the Aggies to make up ground?" ...
  • Kirk Bohls


  • Suzanne Haliburton of the Austin American-Statesman writes about Texas DE Brian Orakpo and his last game at Texas... "There's an argument to be made that Orakpo — the fifth-year senior playing in his final game at Royal-Memorial Stadium on Thursday — is representative of the surging Longhorns, who are making an unexpected national title run." ...
  • Suzanne Haliburton


  • Here is how the annual Bonfire is done without the university's support...
    Despite the university's refusal to allow Bonfire to take place on campus, a non-university sanctioned bonfire took its place. The first unofficial Bonfire since the 1930s was held in 2002 and was known as the "Unity Project." This fire consisted of three piles of wood, with the center stack being 35 feet (11 m) high.

    In 2003, the event became known as Student Bonfire. In a design approved by a professional engineer, Student Bonfire uses a wedding cake design, but, in a departure from tradition, every log in the stack touches the ground. For added support, four 24 feet (7.3 m) poles are spaced evenly around the stack and then bolted to the 45 feet (14 m) center pole with a steel pipe. These poles are known as Windle-sticks, after Levi Windle, a staunch supporter of Student Bonfire who died in an unrelated accident in 2003. Since the group does not receive funding, Student Bonfire charges a fee to each attendee to cover expenses. Attendance for Student Bonfire ranges from 8,000–15,000 people and the event is held in Brazos County or one of the surrounding counties.

    Political Pooparazzi and Assorted Nuts

    NY Elementary School is Renamed for Obama



    In New York, the city where almost every single racist epithet ever spoken was originated, they have renamed an elementary school after not-yet-President Barack Obama. I am right in saying he's not yet President yet, right? Have I only imagined that he doesn't become the actual President, and thus hasn't actually done anything yet, until next year? New York City is also the city where all-male schools were declared discriminatory and unconstitutional, but all-female 'leadership' schools were quickly established and declared 'progressive' even as the Citadel and VMI were being set on fire by 'activists'.

    Some say terrorists. The New York Times says activists.



    Obese Canadians Have 'Right' to Two Airline Seats



    The ever wacky and zany Canadian Supreme Court has ruled that big fat Canadians have a 'right' to two seats on an airline. Note: that's not simply a legal requirement that airlines can't charge for two seats. It's a 'right', with all that goes with that. So it's like free speech, freedom of religion, the right to bare arms, the right to self-defense, and now the right to be a lard-ass and hog more than your fair share.

    Anyone else think perhaps Canada takes the whole concept of 'rights' a bit lightly?

    In Canada's defense, have any of you ever flown on a plane where the seats were only slightly wider than a teenaged girl's ass and there was absolutely no possible way a grown man could keep from bashing his shoulders against the people sitting on either side of him? I know I have. I felt like I was being stuffed into a racing seat for a Formula 1 run again crazy Danica Patrick, lightweight boxing champion of professional racing.



    Obama's Job Application Includes Questions on Gun Ownership



    President-elect Barack Obama has already made waves by adding a question for all job applicants in his administration not only demanding to know anything and everything about any and every gun legally owned by the applicant or anyone associated with the applicant, but also implying that we have a Nazi-inspired national gun registry, which we do not for Constitutional reasons.

    Something tells me the NRA is about to experience a huge membership surge.



    Evidently, Gays Do Blame Blacks for Failure of Prop. 8



    Someone somewhere around here, it may even have been me, commented that radical gay activists weren't brave enough to attack the black people who voted against gay marriage by 80 percent and were thus only attacking white Christian heterosexuals because they are such easy targets. It turns out that not only was this not true, it was so extremely wrong that gay activists have even been attacking other gay activists who are guilty of nothing more than opposing Proposition 8 while being black. Seriously, if ever there was a way to shoot yourself in the foot, this is it.

    [Seemingly unnecessary explanation: It's the irony. The irony of the situation is amazing, regardless of where you stand on the issue.]



    Clinton Is Said to Accept Secretary of State Position



    Obama has for unfathomable reasons chosen Hillary Clinton as his Secretary of State. Former Clinton advisers (Bill Morris) have indicated that this will be a huge mistake on Obama's part because Hillary is a one-woman show and will undermine him at every opportunity for her own benefit. I'm sure this is probably true, but I think there's a much bigger issue here. The bigger issue is that last time the Clintons were in the White House a man named Vincent Foster died in there from a mysterious gunshot to the head and nothing was ever solved. This time, if 2 men die from mysterious gunshots to the head, namely Obama and Joe Biden, Secretary of State Hillary becomes President.


    Oh fuuuuuuck!

    I'll bet the Secret Service are absolutely shitting over the thought of not only having to deal with her hair trigger temper, flying lamps and flying fists again, but also being tasked with trying to protect the President and Vice President from being killed by her.



    Man with Gun Under Pillow Forfeits Licence in Germany


    German police
    "I caught him running with scissors so I beat him with my nightstick"

    In Berlin, a man lost his license to own a gun because he slept with it under his pillow and the all-knowing courts have decided that he shouldn't do that. Also, they fined him for not brushing his teeth and washing behind his ears, and not going to bed by 9. They've threatened to take away his television privileges next if he doesn't straighten up. Ah, socialism!



    Upset Over Pet, Man Stabs Bureaucrat, Wife in Japan



    My pooky died - you bastards!

    In Japan, where men enjoy wearing dresses and having sex with rubber dolls designed to look like their favorite anime characters, a man went on a stabbing rampage and killed the minister of health and welfare, as well as the minister's wife. The stabber said he did it because his pet died in a public welfare center. In a search of the stabber's car, police reported finding a large collection of "assault knives." Japan does not allow private ownership of firearms, but has been experiencing a steady increase in stabbing rampages over the past few years. Offers to send Ted Kennedy and Sarah Brady to Japan to help with their crisis have not met with much enthusiasm.



    Bra for Men an Online Bestseller in Japan



    Me ruv you rong time!

    As if to make jokes about Japan almost compulsory, a retailer there has been selling bras and panties for men, and reports that sales are quite good. Apparently cross-dressing is very popular in Japan, as are sexy female cartoon characters who kick male cartoon characters in the groin a lot. Psychologists think the two may be related.




    Australia Outback Mayor Wins Annual Sexiest Award


    Mayor Malony

    And finally, in Australia, where men are men and women are hawt, the mayor of a small mining town has won the annual "Sexiest Award" from an odd female-only subgroup of the Australian parliament in Sydney. The no-men-allowed subgroup of parliament said that they love a man with the balls to stand up and say what men want and not be ashamed. Mayor Malony had placed an ad for lovelorn female "ugly ducklings", inviting them to move to his town where they'd find "five blokes to every girl." The all-female parliamentary organization has been frequently accused of being a misandric sexist hate-group, and apparently decided to prove their womanhood by reaching out to Mayor Malony with this award.

    Michigan has become an average football program


    Disgust...that is what I feel after Michigan's embarrassing performance on Saturday in Columbus against Ohio State...I was in attendance for the first game of the season when the Wolverines took on Utah...and I was there Saturday for Michigan's annual beating administered by the Buckeyes...over those 13 weeks, I saw no improvement with Michigan...

    Zero...zilch...nada...

    Michigan lacked the basic fundamentals of football, such as catching a punt and kick...Rich Rodriguez would state in his weekly press conference how the team is making progress in practice...but somehow that progress did not transfer to the field on Saturdays...

    To think Michigan would ever finish with a 3-9 season would be unfathomable...but it is now part of our history...the 2009 football season will be the most crucial in the history of Michigan football...another poor season and a loss to Ohio State could set back the football program for years...Rodriguez MUST go at least 8-4 and beat Ohio State next season...if he cannot accomplish those two attainable goals, then the Michigan administration must swallow its pride, admit it made a mistake with Rodriguez, and move quickly to replace him as head coach...Michigan cannot sit back idly and wait as Nebraska did with former head coach Bill Callahan...

    Over the last two years it is not acceptable to be losing at home to Appalachian State, Toledo, and Northwestern...it is not acceptable to lose seven of the last eight years to Ohio State...this current losing era to Ohio State is worse than when John Cooper was losing to Michigan...Cooper never lost five games in a row to Michigan...

    All the blame should not be place on Rodriguez...former head coach Lloyd Carr is just as responsible for this downward spiral of Michigan football...his lack of preparation caused Michigan to lose to Appalachian State...and his lackadaisical approach to Ohio State allowed Jim Tressel to beat Carr in their match-ups...if Carr would have approached the OSU game with more emphasis, Michigan could have won at least two of their games against Tressel...over the last eight years, Tressel's aggressive approach to outrecruiting and outhustling Michigan has showed when the two teams meet...

    Michigan is resting on his proud history...sure it is the winningest football program, but many of those records were set prior to World War I and II...in the BCS era, Michigan has been nothing but an above average football program who cannot win the big games...

    Here are the following teams who have competed in the BCS title game since its inception during the 1998 season:
    Three times
    Ohio State, Florida State, Oklahoma
    Two times
    LSU, USC, Miami (Fla)
    One time
    Tennessee, Virginia Tech, Nebraska, Texas, Florida

    Most of the traditional big-time football programs have competed in the title game except for Alabama, Notre Dame, Penn State, and MICHIGAN...Michigan needs to stop resting on its history from a century ago and start making a difference in today's era of ollege football...

    Save your money, quit school

    By Adel

    Midterms. Midterms blow. They suck just as much giving them and grading them as they do taking them. Midterms are supposed to be difficult. Midterms are supposed to test the knowledge you've gained in the first half of the semester. They're used to put the knowledge you've gained into practice. It's not only about the knowledge you've learned, it's about how to retain the important stuff. That being said, why the bloody hell are colleges filled with dumb asses?

    Seriously? This is what I get? Class after class of chuckle heads? University used to be for those who wanted to better themselves. Now, it's a bloody place to hang out from four to ten years while putting off real life. Don't use my place of employment as a bunker to hide in.

    I had a miserable midterm season. The school won't let me terminate students I feel are a drain on society. I have to "educate" them. Bullocks! Have you ever tried to MAKE someone learn? It's bloody impossible. I am not Edward James Olmos. I do not bloody stand and deliver.

    University students of the world hear me; drop out. Those who just want to piss around in class and use university as a multi-year bar hop need to move along and make room for those who want to learn. Brilliant students in undergrad are getting suffocated by the sheer shit storm of dumbassary. It used to be just high school teachers that lost faith and all hope. Now it's surged into higher education.

    What bugs me is that they have a choice. I get high school rebellion. You don't want to be there, but the man says you have to be. University is different, my future gas pump jockeys. You don't have to be here. Drop out! Make way for honest, hard working boys and girls.

    Yes, I am ranting. Yes, I am in a bad mood. No, I wasn't a perfect student. But bloody hell, it seems that over the years things have just gotten worse. Today's youth is this country's future. I weep for this country then. I'm being harsh, I know, but sod off; I'm in a mood.

    And then they come to me in an attempt to barter for a better grade. Really? You want to make a deal? How about this; hit yourself as hard as you can with your text book. When you come to, I promise to never to try to educate you again.

    OK, I'm done now. Thanksgiving break is coming at the perfect time. I just can't wait for final exams.

    6 Brazilian men

    A Blonde is watching the news with her husband when the newscaster says '6 Brazilian men die in a skydiving accident.'


    The blonde starts crying to her husband, sobbing "That's horrible."



    Confused, he says, "Yes dear, it is sad, but they were skydiving and there is that risk involved."



    After a few minutes, the blonde, still sobbing, says, "How many is a Brazilian?"

    I found this video on The Big Picture...

    Kirk Herbstreit and Chris Spielman question Michigan

    This is why I HATE Ohio State...this appeared on the internet

    Former Ohio State players and ESPN personalities Chris Spielman and Kirk Herbstreit had some pretty scathing analysis of Michigan as they prepare to finish their season against the Buckeyes.

    On their afternoon radio show on WBNS-AM (1460) in Columbus on Monday, Spielman, a former Detroit Lions linebacker, was especially critical of the Wolverines' performance this season.

    "They're a team that plays hard, they just have nothing going," said Spielman.

    "They stink, they're not very good. They don't play offense... they can't run it consistently, they can't throw it consistently, they can't stop the run, they're not very good defending the pass, they're not very good covering kicks, they're not very good returning kicks," Spielman said.

    Herbstreit said he thinks U-M, missing out on a bowl game for the first time in 33 years, has the mindset of playing out the string.

    "I think they're just looking forward to getting the season over and hitting the recruiting," Herbstreit said.

    Herbstreit said wishes the Wolverines weren't having such a bad season so that there would be some more preceived drama in this rivalry game.

    "I know, it's still Ohio State-Michigan, and when the teams run out on the field, it's still special. But, it's, like, anticlimatic," he said. "Who are you booing? They're 3-8. If they didn't have to be there, they wouldn't be there.... But if they were 9-2, or there was a championship on the line, that's what this game's all about."

    Spielman isn't as sympathetic towards the Wolverines.

    "I love seeing them beaten down, man. It's great," Spielman said.

    First off, who the fuck is Kirk Herbstreit?...he should know about losing in this game because Michigan kicked his ass (see video below) when he was the starting quarterback of the Buckeyes...the comment that burns my ass the most is when pretty boy stated, "But, it's, like, anticlimatic, Who are you booing? They're 3-8. If they didn't have to be there, they wouldn't be there."...

    Michigan NEVER backs down from a battle...FUCK YOU KIRK HERBSTREIT!!!

    As far as Spielman goes, he is a freakin asshole...ESPN should never have him work another Michigan game because he is biased...

    Bengals need to cut ties with Chad Johnson

    - I can't wait for the day when Chad Johnson retires...I am so sick of this Ocho Nutto shit...this guy is the biggest douche bag in the NFL...the screw-up broke a team violation on Wednesday and gets deactivated for Thursday's game...when will the Cincinnati Bengals management realize Johnson is a cancer on this team and needs to go...it's not like the Bengals are winning Super Bowls with him...

    - Dustin Pedroia was the American League MVP?...20 years from now people will look back on this and scratch their head...

    - I hate the Minnesota Vikings uniforms...I wish they would go back to the old-school purple jerseys...

    - By the way, whatever happened to Bud Grant?...

    Donovan McNabb's overtime comments raise issue of a double standard

    This past weekend the Philadelphia Eagles and Cincinnati Bengals played to a 13-13 tie...after the game, Eagles QB Donovan McNabb expressed surprise that a NFL regular season game could end in a tie...he thought the two teams would play until there is a winner...here is his quote:

    "I've never been a part of a tie. I never even knew that was in the rule book ... It's part of the rules, and we have to go with it. I was looking forward to getting the opportunity to get out there and try to drive to win the game. But unfortunately, with the rules, we settled with a tie."

    "I guess we're aware of it now ... In college, there are multiple overtimes, and in high school and Pop Warner. I never knew in the pro ranks it would end that way. I hate to see what would happen in the Super Bowl and in the playoffs."


    Remember, McNabb is a 10-year veteran of the NFL and was active when the last tie occurred six years ago...football people were amazed that an NFL starting quarterback, like McNabb, would not know that a regular season game could end in a tie...

    During the Monday Night pre-game on ESPN, this topic was discussed...football analyst Tom Jackson was stunned about McNabb's ignorance of this common rule...however, Jackson began by stating that people have called McNabb names such as "cement head"...Jackson alluded to the fact that these people are making racist comments about McNabb's intelligence...Jackson was correct in nailing McNabb about not knowing the rules, but Jackson was wrong about the "cement head" comment...

    Let's face the facts, McNabb was a cement head, bonehead, lunk head, or whatever you want to call it, for not knowing this common football rule...this has nothing to do with his race and everything to do with being a so-called "elite" NFL quarterback...any starting quarterback in the NFL who does not know the basic rules involving overtime is a lunkhead whether he is white, African-American, Hispanic, etc...that quarterback deserves to be criticized...

    Imagine if a white quarterback, say Tony Romo, made the same comment about not knowing the overtime rules...every media person would be ripping Romo for being dumb and ignorant - and rightfully so...back in his playing days former Steelers quarterback Terry Bradshaw was viewed as this country boy who did not have a lot of smarts...if he made this comment, he would have been called "dumb" and probably something even worse...prior to a Super Bowl, former Dallas linebacker Thomas "Hollywood" Henderson said that Bradshaw was so dumb that he could not spell the word "cat" even if you spotted him the "C" and "A"...

    So why is there a double standard?...I guess it is okay to call a white NFL quarterback dumb or ignorant, but the same cannot be said about an African-American NFL quarterback -- even when he clearly shows his ignorance of a common NFL rule...

    I'll Get Right On That

    President-Elect Barack Obama, ACORN official, U.S. Senator for all of 4 years, and Chicago area native, has chosen a new Presidential limo that he feels will help him maintain an air of authenticity with his most ardent supporters.


    New presidential limo

    And by 'most ardent supporters' I mean, of course, the rich liberal white women who voted for him without having the slightest idea what his policies are, who ACORN is, who Mayor Daley was, and just believe with all their hearts that Obama seems like a really great guy.


    In other news, it has taken less than 2 weeks for the California Supreme Court to announce that they are going to 'review' the will of The People after the last election didn't go the way they think it should. In other words, the people of California voted not to redefine marriage. But the elitists in the legal profession feel that they know better, so they're going to negate all of that, violating the law in the process, and just force the new definition of marriage onto the citizens by judicial fiat.

    In other words, your vote doesn't mean shit.

    Just to sound my own horn, pat myself on the back, brag that I'm smarter than all of you and thus deserving to be a State Supreme Court justice or United States Senator like Al Franken, I want to remind everyone that this is what I said was going to happen right here on this blog the very night the votes in California were counted. I know some bloggers were upset about it. I tried to reassure them that in our modern 'progressive' nation the votes don't matter. It will be mandated from on high. And the fact is, California doesn't matter, because it is going to be mandated from Washington, D.C. for the entire nation within the next 4 years. Write it down. Make a little note with my name next to it that I predicted it. You can count on it. Fuck democracy. We have people in this country with billions of dollars who are convinced that they know what's best for us all and by God, no damn voters are going to stand in the way of their socialist dream.


    Cali's Supremes


    Michael Moore is on CNN's Larry King Live telling us all how the American Auto Industry needs to stop building the cars people are buying and start building the cars he thinks they should build. Michael, it's worth pointing out, has never run anything in his life. He just makes propaganda films. But he's a genius in his own mind, so I'm sure the auto industry will get right on that now that he's revealed the secret to their salvation.

    The best part of the whole interview, aside from his stuttering and basic lack of any previous thoughts concerning the things he's talking about, is the fact that he hasn't shaved, bathed, or exercised in months, leaving him looking like a shaggy, fat old bear from an old Hannah Barbera cartoon. If he lets that beard grow a little longer he could be ready to play Santa Claus by Christmas time.

    Ho ho ho! Somebody get me a donut!


    Santa?


    The United States Senate has just decided not to bail out the American auto industry. For Democrats, this is a great opportunity to blame Republicans for something while using the major unemployment resulting from this disaster to implement socialist policies giving greater control and power to the Federal Government. To Republicans, this is the fault of the Labor Unions that support the Democrats unequivocally, along with years of Democratic-mandated fuel economy standards and concessions to Big Labor that really hurt the American auto industry at its peak. To Libertarians, if the American auto industry and Big Labor are as sick as they appear to be, perhaps letting them both drown together would be for the best.

    What's most interesting to me, as I flip channels and move from CNN to Fox News, is how the Republicans over on Fox are talking as if Obama and the Democrats who now control everything are just like them and will surely listen to reason, i.e. their arguments, and do what is right. This whole conversation they're having here is reminding me of how John McCain just bent right on over and gave the speech of his life as he showed the world what a fabulous loser he can be. That pretty much sums up the Republican Party today to me - a great bunch of losers. Nobody loses better. So awesome.

    Just to keep with the flow here of blogging about what is on my TV, they're now talking to a Republican Party strategist. She's a girl of about 20 and very cute. I'd do her. But hire her as a strategist? I don't think so. On the Left, representing a womyn's group, is a much older woman. She's not attractive and I wouldn't do her, which is about par for the course with most Leftist womyn's groups, but she's got more experience clearly. She avoids answering direct questions like a real pro. She's rah rahing for Obama like Sarah Palin with Katie Couric and dodging the real questions almost as if she were planning to run for the Senate herself someday.


    Rah Rah Barack!

    I'm flipping channels mostly because on every channel there is some Hollywood celebrity worshipping Saint Obama on one talk show or another and singing his praises with choirs and silky white robes. It's the largest religious revival this country has ever seen and what is most remarkable about it is the fact that most of the most religious celebrants in all of this are the atheists and the agnostics among them who love nothing more than to make fun of the Christians for behaving in exactly the same way.

    Even more remarkable, as pointed out by an Obama supporter named Tigger, is that all of this is occurring along with a large amount of Obama-bashing, and yet the man hasn't even taken office yet.


    "This is your wallet. I shall take of it and eat."



    Oooh LOOK - who saw this coming? I mean, besides ME.




    I only wrote this post because I wanted to blog the Obama limo picture. Someone emailed it to me and it made me laugh. But as long as we've come this far with my blathering, let me leave you with this ...


    Seriously, who doesn't love Obama girl?

    Blue Knights TX XX Weekday Ride 11-19-08

    Today, Wednesday, 11-19-08, the Blue Knights TX XX had its monthly weekday ride. Today we took a ride down to The Biker Roadhouse in Saint Jo Texas, followed by lunch at The Smokehouse in Lindsay Texas. The total mileage there and back to Wichita Falls Texas was at 176.8 miles. Janice even went and had a good time. Scroll down for today's ride and REMEMBER: IF YOU WANT TO SEE THE PICTURE BIGGER, JUST CLICK ON THE PICTURE.




    Our jumping off point today was the Shell gas station at US 287 & Windthorst Road in Wichita Falls Texas. We met there at 10:30 a.m. and went KSU at 10:45 a.m. Weather was cloudless, 77 degrees and a light wind out of the SE. Here left to right are: Kenny, Rodney, Vicki (Rodney's wife) and Janice (my wife).


    Here are Kenny, Rodney, Vicki & me while we wait for David & Brenda to arrive.

    David & Brenda arrived and although I was going to lead today, both David and Rodney are two of our Chapter's Road Captain's. Rodney had never been to The Biker Roadhouse and David had, so I let David Road Captain this ride and I got to ride in the middle of the group, where I prefer. This is Kenny Southbound on US 287.


    Here is another of Kenny Southbound on US 287



    Here are David and Brenda Southbound on US 287. Brenda has been a friend of Janice & me for many years. Plus she is a former coworker of mine, David, Kenny & Rodney




    Here is Rodney Southbound on US 287. We did not know it at the time, but Rodney was having problems with his left leg and was in a lot of pain.




    Here is Vicki smiling and waving at Janice as she take the picture of Vicki rolling South on US 287. Janice has become pretty good friends with Vicki over the past year..






    And here is Janice, riding on the back of Ms Clone and having a good time. That is Rodney & Vicki behind us.







    Here are David & Brenda in the lead with Kenny behind them and in front of us.





    I take a picture of Rodney & Vicki behind us as we roll South on US 287



    We got off of US 287 and go East on Us 82. Again, this is David & Brenda in the lead and Kenny






    Rodney and Vicki continue East on US 82 behind us..





    We pulled over in Nocona Texas so David could work out a cramp and Rodney could ingest some meds. This is, left to right: Rodney & Vicki, Kenny, Janice, David & Brenda..








    Lined up prior to getting back on US 82, are: Kenny, Janice, Rodney, David & Brenda


    Me, Janice, Rodney, David & Brenda. We stayed there a little bit until the meds started to work on Rodney. We knew when it was time to go cause Rodney started smiling again.



    Kenny, Janice & the bikes in Nocona Texas




    Here is Rodney still in pain. It shows on his face...




    Vicki in Nocona Texas. She is concerned about Rodney and it showed on her face.


    Here is Brenda..Can't you just feel the love she has for me?..At least she isn't giving me the "numba 1" sign that I usually get from my other friends...




    Here I am as Janice takes a picture of her master...



    Here is Janice as we get ready to head out.. This is Janice's 3rd ride of any distance with us. Janice works all the time, but took today off for today's ride. Plus, she is not really comfortable on motorcycles because she thinks they are very dangerous. She, most possibly, is the only sane one with us today, based on that logic.




    Here is the illustrious David..He always has fun on these Chapter rides as well as all the other impromptu rides that we do...





    Here is Kenny, another former co-worker of ours. He worked most of the time when we had our previous rides, but says he will try to ride with us more often..He is a great guy and a lot of fun to be around






    Here is Brenda, happy & smiling..Brenda has these electrical implant thingies.......probably why she is smiling... :-) "Gothcha!!!"






    What's a ride without the picture of the town water tower, American flag & Texas flag? And they are the two GREATEST flags in the world, I might add.



    At last we arrive at The Biker Roadhouse in Saint Jo Texas. The Biker Roadhouse is a motorcycle apparel & accessory business that is biker owned & biker operated and we always enjoy riding there, making purchases and visiting with Toxie & Vanese (the owners). They sell good, used Harley's inside too!! For more info on The Biker Roadhouse, click on their link: http://www.bikerroadhouse.com/


    The ladies of today's ride: Janice, Vicki & Brenda in front of The Biker Roadhouse in Saint Jo, Texas


    Here is Vicki on her Harley






    Here is Janice on our Vulcan, Ms. Clone..





    While we were there, one of Toxie's friends rode up on this new Triumph 900 Bonneville.





    The Biker Roadhouse Building is for sale. See the above link to the business and give Toxie a call if interested. The building & the business is on the Town Square and is well known throughout the region





    Toxie had come outside and was looking at the Triumph and he was kind enough to stop for a picture before returning inside to work. If you are ever in the Saint Jo area, stop in & check out The Biker Roadhouse and say hi to Vanese & Toxie. They are both great folks and will make your visit an enjoyable one.




    The four of us guys on the ride: David (Road Captain), Kenny (new member), Rodney (Road Captain) and me (President)


    We left The Biker Roadhouse in Saint Jo, got back on East US 82 and headed to The Smokehouse in Lindsay Texas for lunch. This is Kenny, Rodney & Vicki out in front of Janice & I. David & Brenda are out front of them, blocked from view by Rodney..



    You can see all four in this view. From front to back: David & Brenda, Kenny, Rodney and Vicki. If ya click on the picture you can see them better.






    We get to Lindsay Texas and here inside The Smokehouse BBQ Restaurant are Kenny, Brenda & David..




    On the other side of the table are: Janice, Vicki and Rodney


    Here is our waitress, Deborah, who could give as well as take all that David could put on her. One of the funniest thing said was by her to David when she said she wanted to buy some glue to seal his lips together...David took it in stride. We all had a good time there, including Deborah.

    Out in the parking lot of The Smokehouse, Kenny shows off his new vest he bought at The Biker Roadhouse.





    The bikes in the parking lot of The Smokehouse in Lindsay Texas


    Brenda, David, Kenny, Janice, Vicki and Rodney in the parking lot prior to us leaving Lindsay & heading back to Wichita Falls Texas


    Brenda & David, me & Janice and Vicki & Rodney in the parking lot of The Smokehouse in Lindsay Texas



    Kenny mentioned that he needed some bling for his new vest. Here I am presenting Kenny with his first bling for his vest: a small gold replica of the badge we all used to wear.

    We all left Lindsay Texas and flew low back to Wichita Falls as Janice had to be at a massage appointment at 5:30 p.m. We got back at a little after 5 p.m. David & Brenda came in the house for a minute and David sat on the loveseat and his aged bones stiffened in place and and I think we heard a snore. Brenda, silently crept over behind David and verified the stangulation sounds we were hearing, were indeed, snores from the old fart..
    This will conclude this post. We all had a good time, Rodney even moreso after the meds kicked in. We always have fun with David and he isn't an old man. He is four months older than me, so we know he is really a youngster..Because I am...I look forward to our next ride and to where ever that takes us and around here, you never know...Scroll down for more rides, events and posts and remember to click on the "older posts" link at the bottom of EACH page for more posts back to January 08. Until next ride & post, ya'll be careful out there, RIDE SAFE and keep the rubber on the road...........JOHN
