One Way to Test for Burglars.......




















Was it this one?




Late one night a burglar broke into a house. He froze when he heard a loud voice say, "Jesus is watching!" Silence returned to the house so the burglar crept forward. "Jesus is watching!" the voice boomed again. The robber stopped dead in his tracks and looked all around. He spotted a parrot in a cage.
"Was that you?" asked the burglar?
"Yes," answered the parrot.
The criminal sighed in relief and asked, "What's your name?"
"Clarence," said the bird.
"That's a dumb name for a parrot," sneered the burglar. "What idiot named you Clarence?"
"The same idiot who named the Rottweiler Jesus."

Sierra Nevada Pale Ale Evening.....

The Claw of Doom Closes In:






























I'm thinking I might have to grab some cold "SIERRA NEVADA PALE ALE"
for this evening....


Got the plow on the truck, the sky is a cold grey, and the temp is rather chilly
just waiting for the snow.


Newage Earworm.........

I enjoy the newage genre as background music sometimes. This is one of my favorite songs..

The highest rated comment on the video describes it just as I would:

"It always sends me to ancient times of honorable knights and unbreakable promises; enchanted forests and loves everlasting. It is absolutely beautiful."




Enjoy.... :)


Massachusetts is EFF'D up...

A dogged freshman lawmaker who refused to budge from the House chambers earlier this month until the Patrick administration came clean on how much taxpayers coughed up last year for free health care to illegal aliens finally got his answer yesterday: a whopping $93 million.

*Blink**Blink*.. wipe eyes and digest what I read.....

The 58-year-old Andover Republican — who bucked Beacon Hill by holding a sit-in in the House chambers two weeks ago — pried the shocking report from state officials. It showed that nearly 55,000 illegal immigrants received more than $93 million in MassHealth benefits for emergency medical services last year.

Finally, a way to describe Obama and his voters.

Ineptocracy (in-ep-toc’-ra-cy) - a system of government where the least capable to lead are elected by the least capable of producing, and where the members of society least likely to sustain themselves or succeed, are rewarded with goods and services paid for by the confiscated wealth of a diminishing number of producers.



In the vein of "Change", I fully support this be incorporated into the Dictionary as a definition!!


Dear Merriam- Webster.. please take heed.

I need to get some stored up energy for the storm that's coming so I went with a NY Sirloin that
will last me for lunch, snack and dinner.


The beef is from "BRANDT" and is very good I might add. I try and eat grass-fed beef as a rule of thumb but the local butcher carries this brand as their top seller.


Not quite like that but still Good:




UPDATE>.. I wanted to make sure no-one ( Brock) thinks I ruined a good steak hahahhahah

Taking my Life in My Hands....

I'm getting ready to head out to work, ( unlike some others) and just watched the news about multiple spin outs and crashes. We got alot of rain yesterday and it ended with heavy wet snow. Not much accumulation but looking outside you can see the grass and cars are covered.


Now, mind you, the temp is hovering about the freezing mark so being a life long New Englander I know that means that the walk ways, roads, windshields all most likely have ice on them. Bridges freeze first as well as the low lying areas.


Why is it that most people DON'T SEEM TO REMEMBER THAT FROM LAST YEAR!!???


Oh well... I'll report in and hope some stupid idiot doesn't wreck my truck or cause me to sit in traffic for an hour....


 Here is how much show we got:


and here is a news clip:


BEVERLY, Mass. -- Wet weather combined with near-freezing temperatures led to major problems on a number of Massachusetts roadways Friday morning.
On Route 128 South in Beverly a car reportedly went over a guard rail as result of an ice patch.
Numerous spinouts were being reported in several areas. State police were urging motorists to use extra caution in their commutes.

Tom The Chicken......

Tom came home drunk one night, slid into bed beside his sleeping wife, and fell into a deep slumber.   He awoke before the Pearly Gates, where St. Peter said,
'You died in your sleep, Tom.'.




 

Tom was stunned. 'I'm dead? No, I can't be! I've got too much to live for. Send
me back!'


St. Peter said, 'I'm sorry, but there's only one way you can go back, and that
is as a chicken.' 










Tom was devastated, but begged St. Peter to send him to a farm near his home. The
next thing he knew, he was covered with feathers, clucking and pecking the ground
.

A rooster strolled past. 'So, you're the new hen, huh? How's your first day here?' 






'Not bad,' replied Tom the hen, 'but I have this strange feeling inside. Like I'm
gonna explode
!'

'You're ovulating,' explained the rooster. 'Don't tell me you've never laid an
egg before?' 'Never,' said Tom
.

'Well, just relax and let it happen,' says the rooster. 'It's no big deal. He
did, and a few uncomfortable seconds later, out popped an egg! He was overcome
with emotion as he experienced motherhood. He soon laid another egg his joy
was overwhelming.. 









As he was about to lay his third egg, he felt a smack on the back of his head,
and heard..... 




Can We Stop Whats Coming?

As I spend time surfing the blogs I am realizing more and more that we are becoming very divided in this country. I look at the video clips of the protesters for the OWS movement and I read daily postings that raise not only the writers blood pressure but mine as well. I have tried to not let it get me in a constant state of aggravation that's for sure. I was just sitting here and as I read all the good posts that they smart people write, I can't help but think that there is nothing that will stop the inevitable conflict that is coming. 


For instance I read "DADDY BEARS RANT" earlier and all I could do was picture him standing at an OWS encampment and trying to explain to them and get them to understand what he was saying.

I posted an "OP_ED" earlier in the week from a local paper that is in full support of OWS. I have a feeling that if you were to meet that author on the street and show him that facts and the figures and explain to him where he is wrong... not that everything I believe is right,  I thing his response would be "Stop watching Faux News".


We are NOT going convince any of these people that the government is NOT the answer to the problems. That we need to ALL try and downsize the tax burden and the national spending and the government. 


I see the division getting wider and wider, and as we head into next years election it is going to get ugly. If "you know who" holds on and gets re-elected WE as a country are screwed. If "you know who" gets his ass handed to him we will see some major civil unrest I believe. 


I try and not let it get me too stressed out. Other than personally being alert and prepared for the warning signs I don't think there is much that will happen to stop the impending trouble we will see.......


..... and thats where the Chocolate Vodka comes in handy.

The Waterfall Nebula.....



























Explanation: What created the Waterfall Nebula? No one knows. The structure seen in the region of NGC 1999 in the Great Orion Molecular Cloud complex is one of the more mysterious structures yet found on the sky. Designated HH-222, the elongated gaseous stream stretches about ten light years and emits an unusual array of colors. One hypothesis is that the gas filament results from the wind from a young star impacting a nearby molecular cloud. That would not explain, however, why the Waterfall and fainter streams all appear to converge on a bright but unusual non thermal radio source located toward the upper left of the curving structure. Another hypothesis is that the unusual radio source originates from a binary system containing a hot white dwarf, neutron star, or black hole, and that the Waterfall is just a jet from this energetic system. Such systems, though, are typically strong X-rays emitters, and no X-rays have been detected. For now, this case remains unsolved. Perhaps well-chosen future observations and clever deductive reasoning will unlock the true origin of this enigmatic wisp in the future.


"SOURCE APOD"

To The OWS Mob... I am the 1%....

Let me preface this by saying I am not the greatest wordsmith and 
my brain races along much faster than my hands can type.. that being said ....



I started working when I was 13 years old when I got a paper route.


I also had a neighbor take me under his wing and teach me machining and
mechanical work. Bridgeport , Lathe, Grinding, Welding, Engine work
and how to spin a wrench.


I also cut lawns and raked and shoveled driveways.


When I was 15 I got a job doing small engine repair and maintenace on
lawnmowers and snowblowers.


That year was 1978, I talked my father into buying a brand new Ariens snowblower
from the place I worked at.
It was delivered 2 weeks before the blizzard of 1978. LUCK!
Boston got 27 plus inches of snow.
I remember the roads being closed and everyone out walking on the narrow streets.
Lots of people were shoveling as there weren't alot of snowblowers.
After clearing our driveway I spent the next 2 weeks, all day, walking around with
that snowblower. I made over $600.00 back then.

Strange Breakfast.....

I woke up this morning, got dressed and went in the kitchen where my wife was already fixing breakfast.
 
I looked to see what she was cooking, and I see one of my socks in the frying pan.
"What are you doing?" I asked her.
She said "I'm doing what you asked me to do last night when you came to bed very
Drunk," she replied.
 

Completely puzzled,  I walked  away thinking to  myself ,

"I don't remember asking her to cook my sock..."

53%.....

Interestingly CNN reported this story.........


Occupy Wall Street protesters might say they represent 99% of the nation, but there's a growing number of Americans who are making it clear they are not part of the dissident crowd.
They call themselves the 53%...as in the 53% of Americans who pay federal income taxes. And they are making their voices heard on Tumblr blogs, Twitter and Facebook pages devoted to stories of personal responsibility and work ethic. 


 "STORY HERE"

How To Become A Successful Author....

...have people buy a shitload of your books on the taxpayers dime.


The State Department has bought more than $70,000 worth of books authored by President Obama, sending out copies as Christmas gratuities and stocking “key libraries” around the world with “Dreams From My Father” more than a decade after its release.

The U.S. Embassy in Egypt, for instance, spent $28,636 in August 2009 for copies of Mr. Obama’s best-selling 1995 memoir. Six weeks earlier, the embassy had placed another order for the same book for more than $9,000, federal purchasing records show.

A manufactured Threat?

This is interesting to say the least. I have been hap-hazardly following the "WHITE HOUSE INSIDER"


when ever I run across someone that posts a story about it. Today I saw that "Ann Barnhardt" had mentioned:

3. Again, I'm not sure what to make of the so-called "Ulsterman Insider" series, but the track record is good, and the last "Insider" interview post made a very, very lucid prediction. The Insider says that all of this race and class baiting, travel, and the fake Saudi plot thing from a couple of weeks ago is all laying the groundwork for an Obama-Jarrett plot to stage a fake assassination attempt against Obama in order to gin up sympathy support and play the ultimate mother of all race cards. Now THAT would be a true analogue to the Reichstag Fire. In fact, it would surpass the Reichstag Fire. The way to counter such a plot, if it exists, is to get the meme out into the national consciousness and thus take it out at the knees before it can even take a step. Don't even try it, Valerie. We're all over you. Here is the "Insider" piece.


 in one of her posts about  "A MANUFACTURED THREAT"




Insider:  All the ingredients are in place.  Falling approval ratings.  A big uptick in divisive racial talk…the GOP primary race gettin’ on, which has upped the anti-Obama rhetoric.  Occupy Wall Street stuff.  An aborted terrorist attack inAmerica.  The president crisscrossing the country talking the same old sh-t, except playing the victim card even more than before…don’t tell me for a second some of this isn’t all being played out for a very specific possibility.  If needed, they will try and pull it off.  I got no doubt about it now.  None.
Ulsterman:  So what is it?  Pull what off?

Insider:  A manufactured threat against the President of theUnited States.  Something easily digested by the media and the American public.  Not a real threat – something totally of their own making. They will use it if they need to – got no doubt whatsoever about that.  Jarrett has approved the idea…and did so a long time ago.  There were whispers of it during the 2008 campaign.  McCain was so god-awful it never reached a serious consideration…but the plan was discussed.  If needed – they were willing to go that route.  It would be the ultimate use of the race card in the history of American politics.  And…it would likely work if they got away with it.

Ulsterman:  They would go that far? Risk something like that?


... It will be interesting to see what happens over the coming months.

We Are Doomed as a Society....

When you see shit like this for sale and people will actually buy and wear them....





...and they cost  $880.00...  are you "FARKIN SERIOUS"?????

Adult Onset Liberalism ( Advanced Stages)......

This is an editorial that was posted in the local paper. Here is where you can
take an inside look a a very troubled mind. My cohort "TheFuriousFrenchman" is 
preparing a response.. We ask what would you like to say to this moooonbat?


I urge that you read the following after removing any sharp objects from your reach.....



Forty-five years ago, Buffalo Springfield wrote a song, "For what it's worth" that could just as easily been written for the Occupy Wall Street movement. Both speak to the injustice in our ordinary life. But Occupy Wall Street is a real protest movement unlike the tea party financed by the billionaire Koch brothers.
Occupy Wall Streeters don't show up with guns strapped to them like tea partiers did at events featuring politicians. Nor do they tell a crowd at a rally that "if ballots don't work, bullets will," as a radio host said at a rally for then-tea party candidate and now-Congressman Allen West of Florida. The tea party worked with an implied threat of violence that sets it apart from OWS. And before you yell, "James Hoffa," know that Fox News edited the tape to make it appear the labor leader was exhorting violence when he was talking about winning elections.


What Blog's am I Missing Out On?

I Need A LIfe... This Is My 1200 Post

I have no idea what I want to say other than Thanks for stopping by and enjoying my blog which has

Anyway, thanks again for stopping by and commenting when you do. My blogiversary is coming up next month I wanted to get to 1500 posts. It's just a milestone that I wanted to hit.

Maybe It Will Be A Natural Disaster That Does Us In?

A previously dormant South American volcano is inflating with astonishing speed, scientists have discovered.

Researchers from several U.S. universities say "Uturuncu", which rises 6,000 meters in southwest Bolivia, is blowing up like a big balloon as its magma chamber grows around 10 times faster than normal.

'It's one of the fastest uplifting volcanic areas on Earth,' Oregon State University professor, Shan de Silva, told OurAmazingPlanet.
