You want me to do what????

Tomarrow I "Doublebagger" will embark on a new journey of discovery. I will be working in the deli dept. of ye old UGH. I've never done it before. I don't know if I'll like it or not. I was asked by the store manager if I would work in the deli Thurs., Fri., and Sat. Also that if it worked out all around I could transfer depts. if I wanted. I don't know. I don't like the idea of being low man on the totem pole in a dept. I like being third from the top senority wise. I don't know we'll see how it goes. That's it for tonight.

Officials Criticize 'Hooters for Neuters'

Tuesday, June 27, 2006
LOS ANGELES - Several city officials on Tuesday sharply criticized a planned bikini contest to raise money for spaying pets, saying the "Hooters for Neuters" event was degrading to women.
Hosted by the Hooters restaurant chain, the July 13 fundraiser will donate money to the spay and neuter programs at Los Angeles Animal Services.
"Are we going backward here?" said City Controller Laura Chick. "We are a city with all kinds of progressive programs that empower women and end discrimination in the workplace, and now we're being connected with a Hooters bikini contest. It isn't right."
Councilwoman Jan Perry said the department's attempt to be creative in telling pet owners to sterilize their animals "crosses the line."
"I was surprised and amazed with the photograph on the flier, and I don't think it projects a good image for the city of Los Angeles," Perry said.
Animal Services Director Ed Boks apologized for making people upset, but said the "Charity Benefit Bikini Contest" would go on as scheduled.
"These people have gone out of their way in helping us, and I would hate to deny these businesses from helping to save the lives of animals in our shelters," Boks said.
Boks promised a more rigorous vetting process for future fundraisers.
The fundraiser is not city-sponsored, but a promoting flier is posted on the Animal Services Web site.
The original flier showed a bikini-clad woman, but the latest version shows a dog wearing a T-shirt that says "Hooters for Neuters."
Boks said that the owners of Hooters approached him about the fundraiser a month ago. He said the ads were made without consulting the department.
"When somebody steps up and says they want to help your agency raise money, your inclination is to say `Yes,'" Boks said. "But, we probably won't be involved in any future bikini contests."

So much for freedom of speech:

Man May Get Jail for Ticket Expletive

Tuesday, June 27, 2006
BERKLEY, Mich. - The parking fine was $10. But the comment Robert Militzer added to the check could land him in jail for 30 days.
The computer programmer from Allen Park got the ticket May 29. When Militzer wrote the check to Berkley District Court, he scribbled on the memo line, "BULL (expletive) MONEY GRAB."
That got Militzer an in-person court appearance - on a contempt of court charge. He's scheduled to go before a judge Wednesday, accompanied by an American Civil Liberties Union attorney who will argue Militzer's remark is protected by the First Amendment.
Militzer, 38, was ticketed for parking in front of a friend's house overnight. He said he obeyed signs prohibiting parking between 2 a.m. and 6 a.m. during previous visits, but the signs weren't there the morning he was cited.
"I thought they were gaming me, collecting fines without giving people a fair chance to avoid it," Militzer told The Detroit News. "If the sign had been there, I knew what the law was. I would take my lumps and move on."
Militzer said he realized the off-color notation "didn't solve anything." But, he added, "It let them know I felt they were being unfair."
Richard Eshman, Berkley's public safety director, said Militzer could have requested a hearing to argue against the ticket. "There's an avenue for protesting that kind of thing," he said.
ACLU lawyer Elsa Shartsis said Militzer's "choice of words may not be the best, and it may offend some people, but it's not illegal."

Damn is all I have to say for this one

Compelling Explanations
An Iowa tribunal turned down Chris T. Coppinger's demand for unemployment benefits in May, following his firing from a charitable fund-raising company in Davenport for various alleged indiscretions. Among the company's charges was that Coppinger had had sex on top of his desk with a co-worker, but Coppinger argued that that should not be a terminating offense, since many other company employees had had sex on his desk, too. [Des Moines Register, 5-15-06]


Never Give Up: Ronald Blankenship, a shoe repairman in Birmingham, Ala., finished second in June's Democratic primary for sheriff and was placed in a run-off, when the Birmingham News discovered details of an apparently shady past: faking his death in connection with an insurance policy, assault and passing bad checks. Blankenship's defense, a week later: It must be another Ronald Blankenship (even though "both" men have the same middle name and birth date and coincidentally are married to women with the same first, middle and maiden names). [Birmingham News, 6-13-06]

Honesty Is the Best Policy? (1) Jonifer Jackson, 20, was arrested in Clarksville, Tenn., in April and charged with reckless endangerment for firing a 9 mm pistol while street-preaching (because, he told police, it was the only way he could get people to listen to him). (2) Phillip Daniels, 42, was arrested in Dallas in April, as the one who had set off five explosives in the previous two weeks (which he told Dallas' KXAS-TV were done just because he likes the sounds). (3) Yasuhisa Matsushita, 25, was arrested in Iwata, Japan, in March as the man who stole a high school girl's swimsuit, put it on, and pranced around in it while relieving himself because, he told police, "(I)t felt so good." [WSMV-TV (Nashville)-AP, 4-3-06] [KXAS-TV (Dallas), 4-4-06] [Mainichi Daily News, 3-4-06]

Ironies
In May, in the midst of the Ford Motor Co.'s "Red, White & Bold," buy-American ad campaign touting its classic Mustangs, the research firm CSM Worldwide (using statistics from the U.S. Department of Transportation) revealed that 35 percent of the 2006 Mustang's content came from overseas, and in fact, that five Honda models and seven Toyota models contained more U.S. content than the Mustang, including Toyota's Sienna minivan, which was 90 percent U.S. [Wall Street Journal, 5-11-06]
More Ironies: (1) The May 10 tornado that hit Highland County, Ohio, touched down in the town of Hillsboro, along Wizard of Oz Drive. (2) In April, The Washington Post, covering outdoor press conferences by Capitol Hill legislators to decry the then-recent bump in gasoline prices, reported that the vehicle of choice for most of them returning to offices only a few blocks away was a gas-guzzling SUV, and in fact that several senators hopped into idling SUVs even to travel across the street from the Capitol to their offices. [WCMH-TV (Columbus), 5-11-06] [Washington Post, 4-27-06]

Cliches Come to Life
(1) The Chicago Sun-Times reported in May that at least six homeless substance addicts had claimed that someone had paid them $5 each to vote for certain candidates in a recent Chicago school board election (but that a schools spokesman, after consulting the rules, said vote-buying in Chicago school board elections might not even be illegal). (2) London's Guardian reported in April that access to British dentists is becoming so difficult that in a recent week, 6,000 do-it-yourself crown-and-cap replacement kits had been sold to consumers. [Chicago Sun-Times, 5-20-06] [New York Times, 5-7-06]

Creme de la Weird
In May, a judge in Reno, Nev., sentenced Raymond Russell George, 58, to five consecutive life sentences for molesting three young girls over a two-year period, but George said he welcomes the prison time because it will give him a chance to use his comprehensive knowledge of the Bible to help inmates find Jesus. George is notorious also for his dreadful inattention to hygiene, which he said is necessary to keep fellow prisoners (his potential congregants) from getting too close to him. (Otherwise, he said, they "flick boogers at me and fart in my face.") [Reno Gazette-Journal, 5-17-06]

Least Competent Criminals
Flunking Finance 101: John Faux, 41, was arrested in Niagara Falls, N.Y., in April and charged with robbing a Key Bank branch of about $2,000; Faux had complained to the teller that he had clearly demanded not $2,000, but "$100 million," and the two were still arguing when the police arrived. And Tekle Zigetta, 45, pleaded guilty in Los Angeles in March to trying to smuggle $250 billion into the country (which Customs agents discovered, in the form of 250 bills of the denomination of $1 billion, bearing a picture of President Grover Cleveland). [Buffalo News, 4-18-06] [Reuters, 3-15-06]

Updates
Veteran New England mobster Anthony St. Laurent, 64, was arrested again in April, in Providence, R.I., on loan-sharking charges. As with previous arrests, St. Laurent tried to convince the judge not to jail him because his colorectal condition required him to take 40 enemas a day, but the condition has apparently worsened, in that he now claims to need "to have his stool removed, biweekly," according to his lawyer. (Note: "Biweekly," meaning "every two weeks," is often used incorrectly to mean twice a week.) [Providence Journal, 4-14-06]

Four weeks ago, News of the Weird reported that a "side business" of British farmer David Lucas was building gallows for export to Zimbabwe and other countries that still execute by hanging. After the story was widely reported in the British press, a man who identified himself as Lucas' sometime-business-partner told reporters that Lucas had been joking, that he had built only one gallows and was not actually in the business. At press time, it is unknown whether Lucas, or his partner, was telling the truth. [UPI, 6-1-06]

Undignified Deaths
(1) Recent incidents in which people were run over fatally by their own cars: a 62-year-old woman backing out of a parking space at a Wal-Mart in Kahului, Hawaii, in May (she had apparently opened the door to look behind her and fell out), and a 76-year-old woman visiting her husband's grave at Maple Grove Cemetery in New York City in April (details not reported). (2) A 67-year-old woman was killed in Houston in May when her car went out of control, swerved across a road, and slammed into the lead car of a funeral procession about to depart Guadalupe Funeral Home for the cemetery. The woman's family later announced that they would just leave the body at Guadalupe for funeral arrangements. [Maui News, 5-24-06] [MSNBC-AP, 5-1-06] [Houston Chronicle, 5-24-06]

My neighbors are fucking insane.

Here are some pictures of what my neighbors did today.


















The pictures aren't that good. But there are two box springs, a matress, and a tv. These came off the upstairs balcony. The fucktard crackheads tossed these items into an area that my kids play in. That is bullshit. Then they proceed to call the cops. The bitch they were throwing out was telling the cops that the crack pipe was in the second drawer on the right in the smaller bedroom. That's right above my kids' bedroom. That gives me a real feeling of comfort. I've got to call the property managment company about this. This is so much bullshit. That's all there is for tonight.

I thought it was time to make some changes.

I'm feeling a bit snappy lately. So, I decided it was time for a change around here. It's way too fucking hot in this place. I'm not feeling very girly right now so I figured a little pink is in order. I had to run the dishwasher in this fucking heat. I'm sweating like a pig. I have a lot of shit to do today even though it's so hot. I have to go down stairs and wash my work clothes and soon I need to shower. I have a meeting tomarrow morning at 9 am and then I get to come home and sleep for a few hours. Then go back to work and work until midnight. I hate that fucking schedule. Oh well I guess I'm lucky that It will be a little cooler during my shift than it would if I worked in the morning. That's it for right now.

Attack of the Weinerbitter!!!!!!

Let me start this off by saying this is a real event. Names have been changed to protect the inocent and the guilty.

The scream was blood curdling. The event shocking. The door rattled as the little one tried to escape the lair of the weinerbitter. The weinerbitter tried with all his might to not let the little one escape. The little one finally flees the lair and yells he bit my weenie. The story was later sorted out. Someone yelled rampage and then the desaster started. The little one bit the weinerbitter somewhere on his body. (the weinerbitter says the ear) Then the weinerbitter bit the first thing that came near his mouth. There was no marks on the pants or underware. (though we've all skinned our knees with out damaging our pants) The weiner on the other hand had teeth marks. Teeth marks I tell ya. Now the weinerbitter must do home service by way of cleaning and yard work.

The moral of this story:

Let sleeping weinerbitters lie.

That's it .

Well fuck me!!

I have a pile of laundry as tall as I am. It's all clean too. That's 5 loads washed dryed and folded. One to be folded and one to be dryed and folded. Then it all has to be put away. That's just one week of laundry and my bedding. So, now I must do another load of dishes. I also vacuumed today. Changed the litter box and swept and mopped the bathroom floor. Damn, that's a lot of work. Time to watch CSI do dishes and fold and put away laundry.

Coming soon to a grocery store near you.

I don't understand a lot of shit. I don't understand a lot of people. I definately don't understand multibilliondollar corporations. Ok, first off who the hell does Trojan think they are fooling. Yes I'm talking about the condom company. The new women's products. HA! The latest thing to invade your local condom aisle at your local UGH is......a vibrating cock ring. It's called the vibrating ring. I looked it up on the Trojan website and it gives the instructions for use. Complete with pictures of an erect penis and step by step instructions on how to use this wonder of the modern world. The sucker is $9.99, it has a battery life of only about 20 minutes, and it's disposable. So, you pay $10 then you can only use this thing once and then only for 20 minutes. It's like they are promoting bad sex. Well, that's all there is for right now.

Damn 15 years and not a whole lot has changed.

I went to my baby sis's highschool awards ceremony tonght. Not a whole lot has changed in the grand scheme of things. The popular kids still get all the awards and shit. My baby sis is getting screwed out of her band letter. Fuck that we have unleashed the mom from hell on the school this next week. She will get her letter or heads will roll. (along with eyes) The fundimental rule in my family is "You don't fuck with mom." Mom will kill you and not bat an eye at it. So, now the family baby is wondering why she didn't get her letter in band. Mom says she will and has planned to go to the school this week to correct this latest round of bull shit. My sis plays the alto sax. She is damn good at it. She should have gotten some kind of award, but as is usually the case the teacher's pet got all the awards. The chior teacher boycotted the awards because she was not allowed to give any to her students. My baby sis is in both chior and band. She plays a damn good sax., and has the voice of an angel. This is a serious travisty of justice. That's it for tonight.
