This made me furious.  These useless pieces of crap need to be rounded up and shown to the door.  And we need to make sure that not one red cent of our money goes to these sorry bastards.  All they seem to be good for is sitting around berating the military and preening for each other.  If they had any concern for the people they’re supposed to be helping they’d be out there actually doing something instead of wasting endless time griping at the military for their supposed abuses.

It’s funny (in a humorless, droll sort of way) that the military is doing more to help than these NGOs who are supposed to be in the business of helping people.

Damn useless pricks.

I usually try to get to the store early enough on Sunday to beat the church crowd before they overrun the place.  I also try to avoid them because they seem to drive like maniacs.  I got out too late today, leaving right around noon, which means that some of the local churches were just getting out.  These people will pull out in front of you, dart across the road, speed up to get in front of you and then turn right (without signalling), and a whole host of sundry other traffic offenses.  There are three big churches that I have to pass by on the way to the store, and they’re all located within a block of each other.  It’s like running a gauntlet in that area.

What I’d like to know is just what the preachers are telling these people before they leave?  I can hear it now, “Ladies and gentlemen, please open to the book of NASCAR….”.

The Dante’s Inferno Test has banished you to the Sixth Level of Hell – The City of Dis!
Here is how you matched up against all the levels:

Take the Dante’s Inferno Hell Test

Hmmm….  It appears that being a non-believer puts you at a serious disadvantage in this test.

It’s definitely spring in East Texas:

And with spring comes a swarm of insects (as evidenced by the splat in the middle of the picture).

I got so carried away because it was so nice outside that I just drove 150 miles with the windows down and the radio blasting.  I think I may be deaf now.

Oh, and allow me to send out a great big “f@#k you very much” to those asswits who can’t seem to drive over 50 in a 70 zone.  If I believed in hell, I’d be inclined to think that there’s a special place there reserved just for them.

I’m taking the day off tomorrow.  After I wrap up some business here in town I’ll be heading back to East Texas for the weekend.  I’m going to visit my mother for an early Mother’s Day get-together, since she has to be at work next weekend.

While my mother has internet access, I may just ignore the computer for the weekend.  Unless something sets me off and I feel the need to rant.

Anyway, everyone have a great weekend and I’ll be back on Monday.

Just for kicks (and because I couldn’t get into the Hell Quiz that Bitter posted), here’s the Friday Five.

1. What was the last TV show you watched?
CSI

2. What was the last thing you complained about?
All the bureaucratic crap that I have to deal with at work.

3. Who was the last person you complimented and what did you say?
Hmm…  This a tough one.  I don’t remember complimenting anyone recently.  Maybe I need to work on that.

4. What was the last thing you threw away?
A bunch of dirty patches from cleaning the guns I used at the range last night.

5. What was the last website (besides this one) that you visited?
The Bitch Girls.

Update:  Hmm….  I was in a weird timewarp yesterday.  It was really Thursday, it just felt like Friday to me.  So I guess this really wasn’t the Friday Five….

“Life is too short not to exact a bitter and bloody revenge”

This was encountered here.

I was only halfway paying attention to the TV the other day and I barely registered it at the time, but it appears that TNN is bringing back Ren & Stimpy.  I have to admit that I’ve had an on again, off again relationship with that show.  Sometimes it was hilarious, sometimes it was just gross, and sometimes I’d just have to go, “Huh?”  It takes either a very disturbed person or a comic genius to come up with the Royal Canadian Mounted Yaksmen.  However, one of my favorite episodes was “Space Madness.”  My ice cream…

Ren & Stimpy’s Adult Party Cartoon is going to be the main anchor for TNN’s new animated show lineup.  They will also have Gary The Rat and Stripperella.  In case you hadn’t guessed from the name of the new show, it’s not going to be quite as restrained as it was on Nickelodeon. 

My Linux system is setup such that each time I login the ‘fortune’ program runs.  The fortune program picks a quote or saying from its quote file and outputs it on the terminal’s stdout.  I liked this one quite a lot.

You need only reflect that one of the best ways to get yourself a reputation as a dangerous citizen these days is to go about repeating the very phrases which our founding fathers used in the struggle for independence.
