The Statue


A woman was in bed with her lover when she heard her husband opening the
front door.

"Hurry!" she said. "Stand in the corner." She quickly rubbed baby oil all
over him and then she dusted him with talcum powder. "Don't move until I
tell you to," she whispered. "Just pretend you're a statue."

"What's this honey?" the husband inquired as he entered the room.

"Oh, its just a statue," she replied nonchalantly. "The Smiths bought one
for their bedroom. I liked it so much, I got one for us too."

No more was said about the statue, not even later that night when they
went to sleep.

Around 2 a.m., the husband got out of bed, went to the kitchen and
returned a while later with a sandwich and a glass of milk. "Here," he said to the
statue, "Eat something. I stood at the Smith's for three days like an
idiot and nobody offered me so much as a glass of water."

Elvis Memories

JUST THINK, ELVIS WOULD BE 70 THIS MONTH.

If Elvis had lived longer, he possibly would have re-written, "Are You Lonesome Tonight,"

Here's how it might have turned out. Turn up speakers and sing along !

Court

Had my court date today....It came out better than I'd hoped, but still leaves me a problem.

Entered a plea agreement that left me with a $100 civil fine and $106 in court costs. That part is good. With another "compliance to the agreement" hearing set for Feb. 28.

The bad part is that it also puts me under a permament injunction not allowing me to "store inoperable vehicles and/or car parts on my property outside a permament structure" The problem lies in their definition of "inoperable vehicle". The inspector apparently had been around this morning, and believe it or not, the car that I have fixed up enough for short to the corner and back trips had a flat tire,(has a slow leak, and I haven't been here the last 4 days to keep it aired) and that made it an "inoperable vehicle"....the other car (which is actually the best running of the lot) he couldn't check out because my dog prevented him from entering past my (6') privacy fence.

THEIR definition of an "inoperable vehicle" is that you must be able to "legally drive it on the street without getting a ticket" HMMMmmm... as an exLeo I can tell you that there is NO vehicle being driven that can't be cited for SOMETHING, should you be willing to take the time to really inspect it with a fine tooth comb and have a good city ordinance reference book handy.

Now I wouldn't want to try to drive the Chrysler on the street in it's present condition, even though it would make it anywhere in the country mechanically, it's just not too smart with the left side bashed in and the rear lights messed up the way they are. It's going to take at least $2000 to get it back to full safe condition, and I won't have that untill such time as the SS Administration sees fit to release my back pay check. It sounds like I'm being overly possesive of what is, after all, just an old car....but I have a great affinity for this vehicle; it was the last car my ex father in law bought before his death; it's my last tie to a man that I truly loved and respected. That car took Mamamontezz and I to the Texas Blogfest in great comfort, safety and speed three days after I took possesion of it.

This leaves me in a quandry...I have too much stuff in the garage that I have no other place for to put it in there, and I tried to go the sell to the knacker route and the best offer I got was $25.; which he'll part out and get at least $1000 for the engine alone, which rankles my soul; and now, BECAUSE I was trying to become compliant and get a current plate, I can't even do that because I now have to wait for the new title to arrive before I can sell it.

So I have 28 days to fix the situation, or be found in contempt of court, but am caught in a set of interlocking catch-22's that will make it difficult to comply with the order.

Isn't city government wonderful? I'd like to know just HOW I'm causing any sort of hazard and/or eyesore by having a running yet not quite street legal car awaiting repair, parked on concrete in my back yard behind a 6' wooden privacy fence.

This is going to get interesting....bureoucracy vs a stubborn Dutchman trying to use his private property in a manner they don't like. I know I can't win fighting, but it seems that my options are limited as well. We'll just have to see how it turns out...

SMARTS

An old man in Florida had owned a large farm for

several years. He had a large pond in the back, fixed

up nice: picnic tables, horseshoe pits, a

volleyball court, and some apple and peach trees.


The pond was properly shaped and fixed up for swimming.

One evening the old farmer decided to go down to the

pond and look it over, as he hadn't been there for a while.

He grabbed a five gallon bucket to bring back some fruit.

As he neared the pond, he heard voices shouting and

laughing with glee. As he came closer he saw it was a

bunch of young women skinny-dipping in his pond. He

made the women aware of his presence and they all

went to the deep end. One of the women shouted to him,

"We're not coming out until you leave!"

The old man frowned, "I didn't come down here to watch you ladies

swim naked or make you get out of the pond naked."

Holding the bucket up he said, "I'm here to feed the

alligator."

Old men can still think fast.

Back home a-gaaain in Ind i ana

Just got back home to the Citidal, had a great flight back, though we did hit a few patches of clear air turbulance that kept it interesting. Managed to find some good souveniers for the home crowd.

I'm really missing Florida...even though I know I really only experienced the best of the state.

The whole weekend was really a dream...great people, good booze in COPIUS amounts , good weather;and just a perfect all around experience .

I want to thank Neil and Dea again for putting up with me, as well as putting me up.; BTW, Neil, I left my cigarette case in your truck, any chance I can get you to send it to me, or do you want me to just wait for the next Florida Blogfest?

Stella White Chocolate, next year I think I'll bring my helmet, I still have a headache from that turtle! (NO it's NOT because BC, Dea, RadicalRedneck, and I finished the keg, dammit!) That quirt will be on the way soon....I pity the next fool that ticks you off after it's delivery! LOL

Staci, thanks for everything, I truly hope that we see each other again soon at other Rotty events. Dreams are wonderful things...

Now I know why she's called the "Lady" Heather because she IS one in every good connotation of the word. I sure hope she gets down to Texas this spring; she'll lend real class to our group of "diamonds in the rough".

GuyK....what can I say? He's the EPITOMY of "the Southern Gentleman"; hope I can be like him when I grow up! His Sweetthing reminded me of everyone's favorite Grandma, sweet as sugar, hard as steel, and with a dry wit that can cut like a knife, but done so sweetly, you thank her for the privilage of being in the line of fire, because it means she noticed you. I hope your back is feeling better today Ma'am.

Radical Redneck was probably the smartest person in the crowd, it was a real joy to hear him opine.

BC, I found a hat just like yours, so I'm glad I didn't rip yours off after all, next time we can be the hat twins *grin*. I was glad to finally put a face to the name of our beloved Imperial Torturor. Ladies, I'll let you in on a secret, he's not the perve you would think from his on-line personna, he's just; as Stella described him, a cuddly teddy bear....but then again thare WAS that incident with the chicken....and he was getting awfully chummy with the two basset hounds...so maybe we'd better watch our P's & Q's after all....I'll opine no more, lest I end up enduring a session in the Imperial Gameroom, he did tell me had a new shipment of MM and HT videos that he wanted to test out on some deserving unfortunate victims....

I need to unpack and do some laundry, so till next post, stay safe, have fun, and kill a Commie for Mommy.

SW RottFest-Tampa, Day 2

Saturday of the blog fest...WHAT a party! Got to meet GuyK and his Sweetthing this afternoon, and it was a pure delight. I think he may be sorry for making that offer to come down to his place for a sea fishing trip...Now I've spent such quality time time here, I'm really jonesing for Florida, I'll take any excuse to come back.

The party started getting going around 7 PM, and it was the usual Rott Fest thing; copius mounts of alcohol, HOT women, political BS'ing, and this time, Neil V's band was providing the entertainment with hot licks and cool beats.

I was still sparring with the gorgeous Stella, and hoping I survived her aptitude in administering PAIN...She gave up early with the excuse of an 8 AM flight back to N.O....gonna miss that gal!

I'll have some more pics to post as soon as I get home Sunday night, with hopefully more to follow, if Stella remembers to send the to me.

BC was a real trip this evening, he was in an annual parade this afternoon, where it seems that the participants indulge ina NO style event of distributing beads and downing Jello shots throughout the parade route...He was already well ahead of us in the Adult Beverage Consumption department when he arrived at Castle Van Eerde, but we soon caught up to him .

Staci was leading the Florida Gang in live blogging the festivities to the rest of the Empire...with frequent breaks to display her own SPECTACULAR dancing talents, moving to the rythems of Neil's band....Glad I was too wasted to even attempt to try to match her, I would have made a complete fool of myself had I even tried. It was a pure sensious delight just to observe her moves on the sandy patch of ground fronting the band....let's just sayI'm gonna dream well again tonight and I sincerely hope she isn't telepathic!

Gona go back to some serious drinking and politcal bitching now...seems BC has pulled ahead of me again, and I have the Hoosier honor to uphold!

I may have a chance to post again before my flight leaves, but if not, I'll try to put SOMETHING up when I get back home to the Citidal.

TAMPA

Got here to Casa Nan Eerdd at about 7 pm last night...WHAT a GREAT host!

we bought some Adult refresments that we bought for the party when the whole group gets here...well, we HAD refreshments, guess we have to make another runt to the licqor store...

Picked up Stella from the airport this afternoon....I'm in TROUBLE...a Dutchman in the company of a GORGEOUS woman spitfire...I have the feeling that I'm going to get whacked upside the head before the evening is out...

Here's a picture of Dea, me, and a possible dinner:Image hosting by Photobucket

And here is Stella, Dea, and me...and a decidedly nervous future entre..

So far i've been able to keep out of Stella's reach, but I'm losing energy fast, and sooner or later she's gonna knock me out..at least it will be a well deserved assskicking
Well, BC has arrived, so the party is officially started! Maybe I'll update a little later, IF I can stay sober enough to type!

BC is getting a little pervy with dinner:

Mama, Stella wasn't fast enough with the camera, but BC wanted more nookie from the chicken, apparently I wasn't "Brokeback" enough for him. Neil has locked the two hound dogs away, for their protection.

Light (or NO) Posting until Monday

It's 5:20 in the morning on Thursday, and in a little over nine hours, I'll be taking off from Indpls. International, on my way to three glorious days in the Florida sunshine in the company of a bunch of fellow reprobate LC's of the Rott Empire. I doubt very much that I'll have much access to a computor until I get back on Sunday night; my lap top is on the fritz again, so I'm not even going to try to lug it with me.

I still have to go to the license branch before my flight tomorrow to take care of a little business that I'll need to have ready for when I go to court Monday afternoon, so I'll only get a couple hours sleep;but I figure I can get a good nap on the plane down to Tampa.

Please visit the fine blogs on my blogroll, and let them know who sent ya there!

Have a marvelous weekend and I'll see you all on Monday, if I can't get a post in before then, and if they don't decide to hold me during the hearing...

Lurch Speaks, How Truthful is HE?

In light of recent statements by John Kerry essentially calling President Bush a liar, I think it might be reasonable to bring back this little issue.

Image hosting by Photobucket

360 days have passed since you promised America to sign your Form 180 and release all of the information surrounding your discharge from the United States Navy....

So WHEN are you going to do it Mr Kerry? If you want to pontificate on the honesty of another, you should be willing to demonstrate your own qualifications as a truth teller.

Three Arkansas Surgeons

I saw this joke over at Liz's site and I JUST had to steal borrow it.

Three Arkansas surgeons were playing golf together and discussing surgeries they had performed. The first one says, “I’m the best surgeon in Arkansas. A concert pianist lost 7 fingers in an accident, I reattached them, and 8 months later he performed a private concert for the Queen of England.” The second one says, “That’s nothing. A young man lost an arm and both legs in an accident, I reattached them, and 2 years later he won a gold medal in field events in the Olympics.”

The third surgeon says, “You guys are amateurs. Several years ago a lady was high on cocaine and marijuana and she rode a horse head on into a train traveling 80 miles an hour. All I had left to work with was the horse’s blond mane and a big ass. Now, she’s the Junior Senator from New York.

You know...that explains a lot....

Quiz Time..

I saw this quiz at Acidmans site. He was bemoaning the fact that he was a Honda, and not an American made car. So I thought I'd take the quiz and see what I was.

I'm a Chevrolet Corvette!



You're a classic - powerful, athletic, and competitive. You're all about winning the race and getting the job done. While you have a practical everyday side, you get wild when anyone pushes your pedal. You hate to lose, but you hardly ever do.


Take the Which Sports Car Are You? quiz.

Well I guess I can handle that....at least I'm a domestic brand!

Brought a tear to my eye...

Catfish sent me this link to a page by Jeff Edwards that expounds on the fact that we're playing a losing game with all the naysayers that will never agreee with what the Armed Services are doing, that no matter what army we have, it's the WRONG one....

It's well worth the time to read, and PLEASE follow Jeff's advice at the end; when you see a man or woman that wears the uniform, THANK him or her for their service. You don't have to agree with this or that policy. You don't have to think we're doing the right thing in Iraq.

Just acknowledge that these men and women have the courage to sacrifice themselves for an ideal, even if you don't have the same idea of that ideal.

Pity the Fool

Mamamontezz sent me this link with the admonition that "it would get my blood going".

I have to admit that my first reaction was one of anger; I thought I was going to be reading another hate-filled anti-soldier diatribe such as the owner of HateThe Tooops.com regularly spews out. But in really reading the piece, I found myself more in a mood of pity and envy. Pity that Mr. Stein can be so divorced from the cruel realities of the world we live in, and envy that he has had such an easy life that he can maintain that position.

He doesn't even have the passion of the HBS kool-aid drinkers, when he regurgitates the lies they promulgate. Must be awful dull to be so smug in your rightousness. I find I can't get angry at Mr. Stein because I get the feeling that he doesn't feel any real passion in what he espouses. He does have the right idea in that we have to "give our returning soldiers what they need: hospitals, pensions, mental health".... And blows even that sentiment with "and a safe, immediate return." He tries to bring a cloak of bravery in the face of danger around himself in saying that "he doesn't suport the troops", but his argument is so lackluster that not even the most battle hardened vet can feel anything but pity towards him.

I may be fiery on occasion, but I feel passionately in my beliefs, and I can acknowledge that sometimes I may be mistaken in one or two things in following my passion. Mr. Stein has the complacent smugness of one that never had to really exert an effort; he has determined that the war is immoral in his own mind, even though he has no real reason for that reasoning other than an old tired meme's of "false intelligence" and "American Imperialism". He seems to be experiencing survivors guilt without ever haveing to had to be at risk of any danger, and then pontificates on the morality of an individual soldier engaged in combat?!

PU-LEEZE! Mr Stein seems to be the perennial Sophmore that talks on things he's not qualified to judge, but he doesn't even have the ardor of the radical Idiotarian to even make it interesting except as an example of sophistry.

SA-LAMMMM!

Professor Mike S. Adams has a great treatise up on why he doesn't take feminists serously. As always, he cuts right to the chase and takes no prisoners.

Here's just a taste:

The question “Why don’t you take feminists seriously” is an important one. It deserves a more complete response. So here are my primary reasons:

1. I do not consider 21st century feminism to be a political ideology or philosophy.

American feminists generally do not become feminists because of some well-defined political goal. For example, in your email you enumerate several important political objectives. You want to vote. You want to be free to hold elective office. You want rape to be illegal. You want to be able to work. You donÂ’t want to be forced to get and stay pregnant at all times. You want genital mutilation (of females) to be illegal.

I have an important newsflash, Daisy: You have already achieved all six of these political objectives. But, nonetheless, you continue to rant. And you continue to live in the past. That makes it difficult to take you seriously.....

Go read the rest and see if you don't agree with Professor Adams. It's really good to see an academic with the courage to forgo Political Correctness and really tell it like he feels it is.
