Lowbrow Moment:
(I steal these, not experience them. But, I may have some empathy for them)

The girl I cheated with was friends with Rachel who was a friend of my grilfriend. Everytime I drove past Rachel, she screamed at me from her car. I smiled and waved. I bet she was just mad I didn't sleep with her.


My blog is worth $2,822.70.
How much is your blog worth?


Lowbrow Moment:
(I steal these, not experience them. But, I may have some empathy for them)

One night she slept over and the cat spent most of the night humping her leg.

For the whole night she showed the cat way more attention and affection than she showed me.

I wasn't sure who I was jealous of..

the cat or her.

sob knet!

Monday Joke
::: posted by Spook at 12:39 PM | :::
Because we all could use a small pick-me-up on days that start with M.

Joke #1

Eddie came to work Monday and his co-workers asked him how his weekend was. He said he played a little golf. So his co-worker asked him how well he did. ''I hit two of my best balls,'' he said. ''Tell me about it,'' said his co-worker. ''I stepped on a rake.''

Joke #2

A man picks up his golf-ignorant girlfriend after he has come from the links. While he's driving the tees in his pocket fall out. His girlfriend asks, "Harry, what are those things that just fell out of your pockets?" "Oh, those are called tees. I put my balls on them when I'm driving." "Oh, well. Ask a silly question, get a silly answer."

Lowbrow Moment
::: posted by Spook at 11:40 PM | :::
We were on our way to the mall for some shopping and there was a lull in the conversation. I'm lost in the music in the background when my friend turns to me and says:

"Hey I just had a random thought. Is there a patron saint of road kill?"

Random thought? Yeah, that's an understatement.

New Haircut.
::: posted by Spook at 12:40 PM | :::
Damn. I undid my dreadlocks and got a proper haircut. I feel mildly traumatized. LOL

Anyway, here's the pictoral evidence:

A week and a half ago, dreadlocked.


Picture missing, I undid the dreadlocks.
No picture because I thought I looked like
Captain Caveman or Cousin It.

Last week, after I trimmed it a little bit


Today. What do you think?

9 Things I Hate About Everyone
::: posted by Spook at 8:09 AM | :::
(A big THANK YOU goes out to Gwen @ work for sending me this.)

1. People who point at their wrist while asking for the time.... I know where my watch is pal, where the hell is yours? Do I point at my crotch when I ask where the toilet is?

2. People who are willing to get off their ass to search the entire room for the T.V. remote because they refuse to walk to the T.V. and change the channel manually.

3. When people say "Oh you just want to have your cake and eat it too". Damn right! What good is cake if you can't eat it?

4. When people say "it's always the last place you look". Of course it is. Why the hell would you keep looking after you've found it? Do people do this? Who and where are they? Gonna Kick their asses!

5. When people say while watching a film "did you see that?". No Loser, I paid $12 to come to the cinema and stare at the damn floor.

6. People who ask "Can I ask you a question?".... Didn't really give me a choice there, did ya sunshine?

7. When something is 'new and improved!'. Which is it? If it's new, then there has never been anything before it. If it's an improvement, then there must have been something before it, couldn't be new.

8. When people say "life is short". What the hell?? Life is the longest damn thing anyone ever does!! What can you do that's longer?

9. When you are waiting for the bus and someone asks "Has the bus come yet?". If the bus came would I be standing here, dumbass?

My Usual Self-Questionnaire.
What's playing? Audioslave - Out of Exile
What was the last thing my TV did? I watched Kabiti... Katchib... some japanese movie with an unpronouncable name with monsters in it.
How am I feeling? Why? Well rested! I had insomnia last night, but caught up with over eight and a half hours of sleep.

My Horoscope for this week:
LIBRA (born between 24th September and 23rd October):
A house mate or close friend might need to be shaken out of a somewhat solitary frame of mind. They say they aren't feeling sorry for themselves but you know better. Instinct will tell you when someone needs to be cheered up and you are the best person for the job. You know just how to get others to forget about their worries for a wee while. A community event will grab your interest and attention as well as amusement.

Linkfest: The original list.Joke!

A man decided that he was going to ride a 10-speed bike from Phoenix to Flagstaff. He got as far as Black Canyon City before the mountains just became too much and he could go no farther.

He stuck his thumb out, but after 3 hours hadn't gotten a single person to stop. Finally, a guy in a Corvette pulled over and offered him a ride. Of course, the bike wouldn't fit in the car. The owner of the Corvette found a piece of rope lying by the highway and tied it to his bumper. He tied the other end to the bike and told the man that if he was going too fast, to honk the horn on his bike and that he would slow down.

Everything went fine for the first 30 miles. Suddenly, another Corvette blew past them. Not to be outdone, the Corvette pulling the bike took off after the other. A short distance down the road the Corvettes, both going well over 120 mph, blew through a speed trap.

The police officer noted the speeds from his radar gun and radioed to the other officer that he had two Corvettes headed his way at over 120 mph. He then relayed, "...and you're not going to believe this, but there's guy on a 10-speed bike honking to pass."

Twisted Funnies: Laugh, stupid.Joke! (# deux)

Bullwinkle: Hey Rocky, watch me pull a rabbit out of my hat.
Rocky: Again?
Bullwinkle: Presto!
Lion: ROAR!!!
Bullwinkle: Oops, wrong hat.

That's short for "Happy Birthday To Me"

Yes, I'm a year older today. I've been dreading this day for quite some time now. Yes, I know it's Thanksgiving. Happy that, too. Luckily, I did that whole thinking about time, life and all that stuff. Eventually I started playing with such thoughts and wondered what age I would be if I weren't human. What if I were Martian? Or Jovian? What about Mercurian? And Plutan?

My age in Mars years: 13.8
My age in Jupiter years: 2.19
My age in Mercury years: 107.9
My age in Pluto years: 0.104

How do I know that? That's simple, I typed in "Your age on other worlds" at google and found this [Link] at the Exploratorium.

Have fun with that.

INDIAN HOROSCOPE
::: posted by Spook at 12:43 PM | :::
Thanks to kirsty for sending me this @ work. I'm a Fox, lol

*MUSKRAT Dec 22-Jan 19:
You are always saving junk and dragging things around the yard. You are basically a pack rat. There has never been a tidy Muskrat from your Band. You should quit stealing other people's garbage.

*PTARMIGAN Jan 20-Feb 18:
You haven't the foggiest idea who you are and you've stayed stupid for too long. You are a natural liar. On the other hand, you are compelled to the dinner table where, you make loud sucking noises, as you devour the last six pork chops. Everyone thinks your Indian name should be Pork Chop. You should stop going to bingo.

*WEASEL Feb 19-Mar 20:
You have no imagination and you always think INAC or Social Services are following you. You have influence over welfare administrators and friends think you're a weasel. You lack perseverance and are generally a chicken yet possess exceptional dancing skills. You should wear moccasins.

*OWL Mar 21- Apr 19:
You are an old stiff and this is reflected in everything you do. You are always whining over nothing and think everyone is out to rob you of something. You should start using Sweet Grass and start being the one on top.

* WOLVERINE Apr20- May 20:
You like to work like hell and you are a genuine Jack of all trades. Most people think you are just getting in their way. You are stubborn and persistent. You should get on welfare immediately and quit passing out after your done.

* WOLF May 20- June 21:
You are very intelligent on your feet but lose all credibility when drunk. People like you because you know how where to get a bootleg at 3 in the morning. This means you're a con artist. Wolves ! are notorious for their flirting and pimping. You should stop drinking on weekdays.

*LYNX June 22- July 22:
You are sympathetic and understanding to other peoples' problems. Friends think you are a sponge and you are always misplacing your Sweet Grass. That is why you will always drive a Ford and have a mate who fools around. You should give up your driver's license (since it expired 2 years ago anyways).

* BEAR July 23-Aug 22:
You consider yourself a warrior, others think you're a macho egotistical creature of habit. Most Bears like to pick on little people. You have no ambition and will forever live in your mind. Bear people are scared of the cops but yet always walk out of the bar with a drink in their hand after closing. You should start playing bingo.

* TROUT Aug 23- Sep 22:
You like to have things in perfect order and will nit pick all day. Your sex life has become well known, due to your meticulous nature.! Friends think you're an example of institutionalization and would make a model inmate. You need to buy more underwear.

* FOX Sep 23- Oct 23:
You want to learn how to make bannock but don't have the time. You want to live the traditional way of life, but would go crazy if you missed an episode of your favourite TV soap. Chances for employment are nil and you'll have to do bead work for the rest of your life. You should start learning how to sew.

* CARIBOU Oct 24- Nov 21:
You are a shrewd and conniving . Your land claim cannot be settled because you also want them to throw in others. Your work ethics defy logic but this stems from the fact that you know everything. Most Caribous have thick, moppy hair, yet they don't need to shave. Never work for the Band because relatives will always ask for money.

* MOOSE Nov 22- Dec 21:
You are extremely optimistic and have the tendency to rely on Indian Medicine.! The majority of Moose carry little bundles of leather and will do weird things suddenly. You should take Centrum > Multivitamins, fast once a week, quit the hard stuff and start Drumming (if you're a He) or start Tanning (if you're a She).

A Message for the Weekend
::: posted by Spook at 7:58 AM | :::
Happy Thanksgiving!
Happy Everything! Now bugger off!

And now, some quotes from The Boondock Saints, one of my favourite movies:

Doc: Why don't you make like a tree, and get the fuck outta here?

Rocco: Shut your fat ass Rayvie! I can't buy a pack of smokes without running into nine guys you fucked!

Paul Smecker: Okay Duffy, have any theories to go with that tie?

Conner MacManus: Jesus! He brought a six-shooter! Murphy MacManus: There were nine of them, you retard! What were you going to do with the last three, laugh them to death? Funny man?

Murphy MacManus: You and your fucking rope.

Monsignor: We must always fear the wicked. But there is another kind of evil that we must fear the most, and that is the indifference of good men. Conner MacManus: I do believe the monsignor's finally got the point. Murphy MacManus: Aye.

Doc: You know what they say: People in glass houses sink ships! Rocco: I got to buy you a proverb book or something, because this mix 'n' match shit's got to go. Doc: What? Conner MacManus: Well, a penny saved is worth two in the bush, right? Murphy MacManus: And don't cross the road if you can't get out of the kitchen.

[A Russian gangster comes into the bar] Murphy MacManus: So you're Chekov, huh? Well, this here's McCoy. Find a Spock, we got us an away team.

Paul Smecker: Brilliant! So now we got a Huge Guy theory and a Serial Crusher theory.

[After Smecker proves the Boston detectives wrong] Paul Smecker: We'll start the ass-kissing with you.

Paul Smecker: That's all we need: some sensational story making these boys out to be superheroes triumphing over evil.

Il Duce: And no man shall shed blood, but by man shall his blood be shed.

Yakavetta: The 90's are killing me. I shouldn't have done that. You're not supposed to tell a guy you're gonna kill him no more. Taking all the fun out of the job.

Paul Smecker: You know, you Irish cops are perking up. That's two sound theories in one day, neither of which deal with abnormally sized men. Kind of makes me feel like Riverdancing.

[After finding a suitcase full of cash with the dead mobsters] Murphy MacManus: The hits just keep on coming. I love our new job.

Rocco: They can suck my pathetic little dick, and I'll dip my balls in marinara sauce so those fat bastards can get a taste of home while they're at it!

Rocco: I killed your cat! I thought that it would bring closure to our relationship!

[After Rocco shoots three men in a coffee shop] Murphy MacManus: Kind of liberating, isn't it? Rocco: You know, it is a bit.

Paul Smecker: Greenly, the day I want the Boston police to do my thinking for me is the day I will have a fucking tag on my toe.

Yakavetta: He's happy now, just killing us one by one. And worse, he's good at it.

Rocco: This guy takes out a whole family -- wife, kids -- like he's ordering fucking pizza.

Paul Smecker: So you're telling me it was one guy with six guns, and he was a senior frigging citizen?

Murphy MacManus: There are many forms of evil. We urge you lesser forms of filth not to push the boundaries into true corruption, into our domain.

Murphy MacManus: Do not kill. Do not rape. Do not steal. These are principles which every man of every faith can embrace.

Conner MacManus: How far are we going to take this? Il Duce: The question is not how far. The question is, do you possess the constitution, the depth of faith, to go as far as is needed?

Conner MacManus: It's the real deal, Roc. Evil men, dead men.

[After Rocco fondles an unconscious woman's breast] Conner MacManus: What the fuck are you doing? Rocco: I'll tip her!

Murphy MacManus: We're sorta like 7-11. We're not always doin' business, but we're always open. Conner MacManus: That was nicely put.

Yakavetta: The 90's are killing me. I shouldn't have done that. You're not supposed to tell a guy you're gonna kill him no more. I got to tiptoe through the tulips with these assholes. Taking all the fun out of the job.

Il Duce: Never shall innocent blood be shed, yet the blood of the wicked shall flow like a river. The Three shall spread their blackened wings and be the vengeful striking hammer of God.

[After Rocco gets his finger shot off] Rocco: Feels like it's still there. Conner MacManus: Yeah, well it's not.

Paul Smecker: Television is the explanation for this. You see this in bad television. Little assault guys creeping through the vents, coming in through the ceiling--that James Bond shit never happens in real life, professionals don't do that!

Lunchtime on Tuesday
::: posted by Spook at 1:38 PM | :::
I moved back to my old job today. I was hoping everything would go smooth, but I had a lot of reorganising to do. It took me all morning so I had to take lunch an hour late today. I guess that's alright, at least now the afternoon will seem shorter than yesterday, right?

The cat relaxing on my bed while I'm eating lunch.
Cat chillaxin

That, and I have to purchase a new keyboard soon, because this one is old and has been drowned in milk, pop, water, tea, coffee and various mixed alcoholic beverages. (Not that mixed drinks appear in my household that often. I'm dull.) I'm surprised it still works, heheh.

Which 'Reservoir Dogs' character are you?

Joke: The Wasp.

A newlywed couple was relaxing at the beach. Suddenly the woman jumps up and starts yelling, "something just flew into my vagina! Do something!" The husband rushes her to a local hospital where an x-ray is performed on her. A few minutes later her doctor comes back with the results. "Mrs. Davis, apparently a wasp flew into you, but fear not, there is a simple solution." He discusses it quietly with the husband, "all you do is rub some honey on the head of your penis, insert it and as soon as you feel the wasp yank your penis out and the wasp should fly out."

Due to the stressful situation, the husband could not get hard, so the doctor said, "Due to the circumstances, why don't I do the deed?" After discussing the matter, the couple agreed that there is no other choice. So the doctor removed his clothes, rubbed the honey and penetrated her, then he began thrusting in and out, faster and faster. The husband grabbed him and yelled, "What the fuck are you doing?" To which the doctor replied, "Change of plan. I decided to drown the bastard!"

PEBCAK - Tech support shorthand for "Problem Exists Between Chair and Keyboard." (Techies are a frustrated, often arrogant lot. They've submitted numerous acronyms and terms that poke fun at the clueless users who call them up with frighteningly stupid questions. Another variation on the above is ID10T: "This guy has an ID-Ten-T on his system.")
