Month: December 2011

Call this stuff I have no idea how to post. 1st up is a car wreck on Japan, normally this wouldn’t be news except this involved luxury cars each of them worth more than where you live. Dumb drivers and slick roads = $4 million in damages

Car Crash

Secondly is an odd little Yogi Bear flash cartoon. Called Boo Boo and the Man. It’s on Archive dot org which it self is a great little site.

That is what happened to me the other day after seeing a commercial for KFC, and got thinking about their biscuits. Of how no matter which chicken place you go to they are heavy as lead. And you swear if you froze one you can actually play a full game of hockey with one (using it as a puck), and after which it would show little sign of what happened.

Oh sure I watched Andy Rooney on 60 Minutes over the past few years. I was sad that he retired, even sadder when he died. Andy Rooney was certainly one of a kind. The kind of person that puts the world in to it’s proper perspective. Oh sure I am positive he would have a fun with the Occupy Protests. Frankly with winter coming soon it’s getting old, and in fact if some of the reports are true about how some are using these protests to cover drug deals, and as a hideout
for armed robbery. No wonder the Police are getting fed up. It’s like I have been saying, they are blowing the next logical step form a political movement. One that could cause some real change in how this country is actually run. Because as we all know there is not a single elected official anywhere that will listen to protests or petitions. In fact the only thing they will listen to is real political pressure, or the passing of campaign cash.

You noticed the biscuits you buy in the grocery store?! They are a total opposite of the ones you get in any restaurant. They are light fluffy and even flaky. I am sure they would not survive a slap-shot,
if use as a hockey puck. I swear one restaurant biscuit weighs as much as 10 tubes of any brand of biscuits you can pick up at any store.

You see I got my dog Jake from a shelter some 3 years ago and after seeing this piece on the local news about a website where in you can update your information on file. Just in case your dog ever got lost. I decided to see how you go about how you actually do this. I started when I called the company that makes my dog’s RFID chip (Their number was on the tag, along with the chip’s number) and boy did I get an earful. It seems my dog was still registered with the shelter which I got him from more than 3 years ago. They lead me to their website (for security reasons I am not going to say which company, site or let alone their phone number). Where I need to fill in a form, print it up and mail them a money order for $19.95 per pet to finally get Jake registered in my name. Btw they charge $6 to update the information once your in their database.

I suggest if you hadn’t done this, you better do this as soon as possible.
