trading toys

I apologize for the dearth of posting at the moment, but I have come to the conclusion that I should not post unless I have something relatively interesting to say.  Sure, I will put up short posts if I find something interesting or amusing (see the last one), but mostly…

ipods suck (simplified version)

In light of the fact that my "ipods suck" post has been receiving a positively amazing amount of traffic, I realized that the core message of it might have been lost under my frustration, anger, and general purpose irritation at the iPod, the Apple store, and Apple in…

cartoon laws of physics

In light of my massive tirade yesterday, today’s posting will be rather light…  In fact, I am not going to provide you with anything particularly original – just a massive copy-paste exercise.  Enjoy!

Cartoon Law I
Any body suspended in space will remain in space until made aware of

ipods suck

(The short-and-sweet version can be found here.) 
 
Yes, you heard it from me first. iPods suck. Bigtime. However, there is something of a story to go with this proclamation, so you may wish to grab a soda, break out the chips and salsa, and pull up a comfortable chair.

tryptophan strikes again!

Well, I hope everyone had an outstanding Thanksgiving.  Better Half and I stayed at home, and cooked up our own meal (the first one together and alone, in fact), to some substantial degree of success.  We made use of a slow-roaster we received for our wedding to take care of…

changes and absences

In light of all of the various posts I have been writing concerning firearms, I have developed a separate category for those writings.  All manner of exciting, I know, but it should help keep organization together on this site. 

In other news, Better Half is coming to…

boy was I bored…

So I was idly wandering around the ‘net, taking a look at some 1911 forums floating out there, and happened to stumble across this blog.  It is somewhat single-minded in its purpose and topic, but there is something to be said for that kind of determination, and the…

bond-age broken

So a group of tap-dancing, talking, animated penguins are beaing the most recent Bond movie out at the boxoffices

If that should not indicate to the producers just how badly they fracked up on this most recent film, I do not know what else could.  Granted,…

cool washings

You know, I think I would be willing to donate a substantial amount of money to whomever first developed a method to stop black socks from bleeding the first time they are washed… especially if said black socks are washed in cold water

*sigh*  My whites needed bleaching anywise,…

glass’d sand

As you all are probably already aware, the International Atomic Energy Agency recently discovered enriched uranium and plutonium in one of Iran’s nuclear waste facilities.  Now, enriched uranium is necessary for their supposedly peaceful nuclear power program…  it just sits happily in its little reactor pile, slowly releasing…

gun control

And now for a little clarification.  First off, this is not entirely a firearm-related weblog…  As my wife could probably tell you, I go through phases more often than I would like, and occasionally get fixated on some really random ideas.  I even wanted a tattoo for a while (still…

historical navigation

On the suggestion of Ron, every one of my individual archive pages now has the means to access my five most recent posts directly.  It is nothing particularly special, though I did have to steal a small amount of code from his site (sorry) to make it work…

of baby eagles and years

As you all are probably aware, I currently own a Baby Eagle, produced by the Israeli Military Industries, and imported to the United States by Magnum Research (a company made popular, or at least well-known, by the Desert Eagle).  I have

money-making schemes

Well, as you all have no doubt noticed by now, some time ago I added some advertisements to this webpage.  On the right column, you will be able to find links to my CafePress store, links generated by Google’s AdSense, and image links generated by…

boycotting craig

Considering that I grew up in a family that regularly watched shows such as Prisoner, Twilight Zone, Outer Limits, Red Dwarf, and so on, I guess it is no surprise that I also received a relatively thorough education in the finer points of Universal Exports.  Granted, my mother (as with…

lest we forget

A little late, and I apologize for that, but you really need to check this video out.  (Hat tip to Denny.)

the proper care and feeding of silicone

… MP3 player cases.  Get your mind out of the gutter. 

Just in case you have been hiding under a very large rock for the past few years, MP3 players are big things these days.  I guess the ability to bring along your entire collection of music without having…

christmas in wal-mart

Wal-Mart has told its employees that it’s OK to once again greet shoppers by saying "Merry Christmas" this holiday season instead of the generic "Happy Holidays."

CNN confirmed that Wal-Mart will announce Thursday that it plans to use the phrase "Merry Christmas" in products and around its…

did you know…

…that William Shatner plays paintball

I confess that despite being a lightweight Trekkie myself (though more a Babylonian, and much more a Browncoat these days), I honestly had no idea.  If I lived out in California, it would…

one year and counting

Through no particular grace of my own, my wife has actually stuck with me for the past year, come last week.  God alone knows why she puts up with me, but I am certainly not complaining.  Unfortunately, due to my job choice, and her continued pursuit of higher education, much…

single, solitary election-related post of the season

Truth Laid Bear Election 2006 Tracker

Due to my life being more than a little… well… hectic over the past few months, I know next to nothing about the current campaigns.  That said, I sincerely hope you went out, exercised your rights, and voted.  It may seem like an insignificant,…

reconstruction

Well, unfortunately, rebuilding a blog is not quite as simple as uninstalling it, reinstalling it, and going back about your life.  I was at least intelligent enough to save all of my entries and templates, so I did not have to regenerate all of those (I think if I did,…

frelling gorram fraking monkey-licking….

Well, due to the Movable Type upgrade from version 3.2 to 3.3, this blog took one hell of a hit, and had to be rebuilt from literally the ground up. I had to delete all of the source files that make the system work, and reinstall them all over again.…

for the record

I suck at all things trackback-related. 

Thank you.

kerry-fisking

Quite possibly the most amazing thing to come out of this entire Senator Kerry debacle is the number of people who are willing to defend Kerry’s comments, no matter how irrational or illogical their comments may be.  I will not link to those sites, as I have absolutely no intentions…

arranging deck chairs

I apologize for the spotty posting over the past few weeks, but I was up visiting Better Half, and she was down visiting me, and we were both visiting other places (more on that in a bit), so I rarely had the inclination or time to write anything even half-decent,…

t-shirts galore


















I apologize for the inordinate number of these, but I figured they were just too amusing, and they often needed the fonts or background imagery for full benefit.  Anywise, since I did not create these myself, yoy will not be able to find them in my store, but you…

accuracy in reporting

So in a rare spurt of curiosity, I was reading the news a few days ago, and happened to stumble across this wonderful little article by the BBC.  I have taken the liberty of copy-pasting it below for your reading edification.

kerry’s foot goes mia down his throat

After Kerry’s idiotic comments concerning the military and education, I am not really sure I need to add anything to this image…  Enjoy!
