News Slugs….

I just saw yet another news slug, ad, preview (call them what you will) that supposedly to warn you of a dangerous or life threatening situation but then doesn’t tell you what it is!

“Can the dashboard on your car collapse and damage your electrical system? You could lose your headlights or your entire car may just fail…” Tune in Monday at 11 PM to find out if you own one of these vehicles. It’s SATURDAY! I could be driving around for two days with a car that could kill me because they want to raise their ratings and get me to watch their broadcast. They’re endangering our lives by NOT telling us immediately the details we need to know to stay safe. They act like they care about our safety but clearly they do not.

I’ve seen (at noon) “Your water may make you very sick! Tune in tonight at 6 to find out if the water where you live could be hazardous to your health!” That’s right, don’t drink, bath or cook with your water for the next six hours. Just sit there and wait to find out if you just poisoned Junior with that glass of tap water…

This should be illegal. If a news agency has information related to the health and safety of their viewers they should TELL us, now. Withholding the towns where the water isn’t safe or the make and model of car that could fail, that’s just wrong. Fine, you want to save the details, the whys and wherefore until your broadcast, great. But don’t tell me I could end up dead or in the hospital by drinking the water or driving my car and then not tell me where I shouldn’t be drinking or driving it!

Grumble…

It’s STILL There!

Yes, the evil, mysterious, floating, flying, pine cone UFO is still there taunting me! I haven’t seen any giant spiders yet but that doesn’t mean they’re not there too!

I’m 41 Today…

Please, somebody, shoot me…

It’s been there for HOURS!

So I look out the window and see this bird flying over my neighbors house. A minute later I’m saying to myself “Birds don’t fly like that… what the hell IS that?” A little later I look again and it’s still there! I broke out the binoculars and took a look (if my neighbors are reading this I really wasn’t trying to get a peek at your daughter, honest!) and it’s a leaf…or a pine cone and it’s floating over my neighbors house. I then had to ask my mom if she saw it (flashbacks, ya know) and she did. An hour later and the stupid thing is STILL floating over there. Leaves, they can’t fly, they fall, Newton proved it, pine cones too I’m sure. Stuff falls, seriously, I’ve seen it happen. So finally and a little late since I lost the good light, I brought out the digital camera and utilized the 10x zoom I so love.

Thumbnail closeup of flying thing!

So, yes, it seems it’s a pine cone on a string or a really, really big spider’s got a web over there… I’m really hoping it’s string and not giant spiders…please, god, not giant spiders. Not again…

Happy Earth Day!

Another green holiday. Kinda like St. Patrick’s Day but without the drunken revelry… or with it. Who’s to say? Go hug a freaking tree or something. Beat up a Vegan and save the life of a salad today!

It’s 4/20…

Make of that what you will…

Hybrids.

Introducing the new, 468 horse power hybrid from Infinity…

Yes, that’s EXACTLY what the world needs. A gas saving car for people who can already afford expensive gas. Hybrids are fast becoming bullshit status symbols instead of the new wave of economic transportation.

Why isn’t anyone making an affordable hybrid/alternative fuel car that those people (poor, like me) can afford? We’re the ones who can’t keep shelling out $3.05 for a gallon of gas!

Saturday the 14th…

You’d think that on Friday the 13th they’d run the entire Friday the 13th movie series, and yet, they didn’t. Then you’d think that Saturday the 14th would be the perfect day to run the classic comedy/horror (I bet you guessed its name) ‘Saturday the 14th‘ but alas, it’s not listed anywhere… *sigh*

Friday the 13th!

I’m just going to crawl right back into bed and hide under the covers. Catch you guys tomorrow!

Blades of Glory…

Second week in a row ‘Blades of Glory’ was ranked first for box office returns…

That’s got to be one of the signs of the coming apocalypse, right?

Then the plagues and after that those four horse guys….

I’m going to go hide, I suggest you look out for locusts and falling frogs.
