My Kind of Judge

When I was on jury duty last year I would have loved for the Judge to do this. The defense attorneys were just asking for it...

I'd rather have a

Z06 than a AMG CLK-GTR.

Steve Ballmer that is

Wal-Mart Troubles

For the record - my wifes maiden name is Reed... Judging from her family - it's probably a relative. On the other hand - I did a few of those things back in my K-Mart days

--

My wife received this letter from Walmart!

Dear Mrs. Reed,

Over the past six months, your husband, Mr. Jim Reed has been causing quite a commotion in our store. We cannot tolerate this type of behavior and have considered banning the entire family from shopping in any of our stores. We have documented all incidents on our video surveillance equipment. Three of our clerks are attending counseling from the trouble your husband has caused. All complaints against Mr. Reed have been compiled and are listed below.

2. July 2: Set all the alarm clocks in Housewares to go off at 5-minute intervals.
   
3. July 7: Made a trail of tomato juice on the floor leading to the restrooms.
   
4. July 19: Walked up to an employee and told her in an official tone, 'Code 3' in housewares..... and watched what happened.

8. September 23: When a clerk asks if they can help him, he begins to cry and asks, "Why can't you people just leave me alone?"
   
9. October 4: Looked right into the security camera; used it as a mirror, and picked his nose.
   
10. November 10: While handling guns in the hunting department, asked the clerk if he knows where the anti-depressants are.
    
11. December 3: Darted around the store suspiciously loudly humming the "Mission Impossible" theme.
    
12. December 6: In the auto department, practiced his "Madonna look" using different size funnels.

14. December 21: When an announcement came over the loud speaker, he assumed the fetal position and screamed "NO! NO! It's those voices again!!!!"
    
    
    (And; last, but not least!)
    
    
    
15. December 23: Went into a fitting room, shut the door and waited a while; then, yelled, very loudly, "There is no toilet paper in here!"

So many excellent posts out there (see Blackfive and Instapundit) but the zoomie who dropped the bomb has a even bigger story to tell now.

He took out al-Zarqawi on Scott Adams birthday! What a great present!

Top 11 Things That Anti-War Protesters Would Have Said At the Normandy Invasion on D-Day (Had There Been Anti-War Protesters At Normandy)

D-Day. The beginning of the end of war in the European Theater. Blackfive has a nice collection of posts.

Poodlize your Doberman

My sister Maggie has two Dobermans - Clay and Gracie. Clay was found abandoned on the side of the road - abused and neglected (why anyone would abuse an animal that can rip your arm off I'll never understand) and has turned into a sweet, lovable, and incredibly protective member of her family. Grace was adopted from the Tennesee Valley Dobe Rescue. A bit bigger than Clay, Grace is an attention hound. If you try and ignore her she'll sit on your foot and lean into you until you come to her way of thinking and give her some attention. Then she'll lay in your lap to keep you all to herself.

Some folks think that dogs like Dobermans are bad. (Personally I think it's the owners who are bad and need to be put down but thats me) Anyways if you have a Dobe or one of the other persecuted breeds there may be a way to get them out for a walk without scaring anyone.

Poodle disguise for Dobermans

I'd rather just take Clay and Gracie for a walk just as they are. According to my sister walking two Dobes can clear the sidewalk really fast. :-)

My kind of 4x4

Four AMD64 cores and four GPUs? Yes!

Even better if the mobo, cpus, and graphics cards could be had for under $1,000.00...

If people evolved from apes, why are there still apes?

Glad I decided to see if anything was new at Tam's as Gully didn't send me any mail this week... :-(

Garden Flood

We have a garden club where I work. For a small annual fee one gets a 20x40 plot. Since this is my first year I havn't done much to mine yet. Just some vegtables and sunflowers. I had set up a sprinkler and timer to keep things watered but the supply side of my hose decided to split. Since my plants are in raised beds - well I have a bit of a flood.

At least I don't have to water this weekend...

I love Content Inspection

Content Inspection is used by email filtering appliances to keep "bad" words from being seen in the email of the site using the appliance. I've been in a discussion about some problems I'm seeing at work regarding a upgrade of our Windows 2000 Active Directory Domain to Windows Server 2003. I sent a message earlier today that had the word crap in it. Here's what I got back:

From a message on the NTSysAdmin mailing list

CA EZ-Antivirus runs on servers and is free for a year when you sign up through Microsoft.

And in a reply to that message

CA?! I would rather get a virus. Would be less painful.
