This is good

This is on Chris Pirillo's site.
'A man and his wife were having an argument about who should make the coffee each morning. The wife said, "You should do it, because you get up first, and then we don't have to wait as long to get our coffee." The husband said, "You are in charge of the cooking around here and you should do it, because that's your job, and I can just wait for my coffee." Wife replies, "No, you should do it - and the Bible says that the man should brew the coffee." Husband replies, " I can't believe that, show me." So she fetched the Good Book, and showed him at the top of several pages, that it (indeed) says: "HEBREWS."' Go check his site out.

A computer

"A computer was something on TV
From a Science Fiction show of note
A window was something you hated to clean And ram was the father of a goat.

Meg was the name of my girlfriend
And gig was a job for the nights
Now they all mean different things
And that really mega bytes.

An application was for employment
A program was a TV show
A cursor used profanity
A keyboard was a piano.

A Memory was something that you lost with age
A CD was a bank account
And if you had a 3-inch floppy
You hoped nobody found out.

Compress was something you did to the garbage
Not something you did to a file
And if you unzipped anything in public
You'd be in jail for a while.

Log on was adding wood to the fire
Hard drive was a long trip on the road
A mouse pad was where a mouse lived
And a backup happened to your commode.

Cut you did with a pocket knife
Paste you did with glue
A web was a spider's home
And a virus was the flu."

I'm back

As the beginning of Eric Bischoff entrance music says, 'I'm back!! And I'm better than ever.' The mobo arrived and it is in and running just wonderful. No need for a reinstall, thank god. Now it is time to get back to work.

Things To Ponder Today

Can you cry under water?

How important does a person have to be before they are considered assassinated instead of just murdered?

If money doesn't grow on trees then why do banks have branches?

Since bread is square, then why is sandwich meat round?

Why do you have to "put your two cents in"... but it's only a "penny for your thoughts"?
Where's that extra penny going to?

Once you're in heaven, do you get stuck wearing the clothes you were buried in for eternity?

Why does a round pizza come in a square box?

What did cured ham actually have?

How is it that we put man on the moon before we figured out it would be a good idea to put wheels on luggage?

Why is it that people say they "slept like a baby" when babies wake up like every two hours?

If a deaf person has to go to court, is it still called a hearing?

Why are you IN a movie, but your ON TV?

Why do people pay to go up tall buildings and then put money in binoculars to look at things on the ground?

How come we choose from just two people for President and fifty for Miss America?

Why do doctors leave the room while you change?
They're going to see you naked anyway.

If a 911 operator has a heart attack, whom does he/she call?

Transformers, more then meets the eye.

vwtrans.mpeg. This is totally cool. It is about 1.5 mb but well worth the wait to download. Just right click and then save as.

Computer no work

Well with the power going out last night I was felling down not being able to use it. But when the power came back this morning I was happy again, until... I pressed the power button and nothing happen. I have been trouble shooting it and I believe that it is in the motherboard. I just ordered a new mobo/CPU combo and it is on next day delivery so I should be up and running again tomorrow afternoon. So for now I have to use my poor little laptop. I have no IM on here and no ones e-mail addresses. So I will be in limbo for the next day or so. Until then oot.


Update....

I just downloaded AIM, Google Toolbar, and w.blogger so I will still be able to have some form of communication now.

WWE needs to get a clue

I just finished reading the results of tonights WWE PPV Summerslam. The WWE needs to get a clue, HHH should not be World Champion. He wrestles maybe once a month and is now injured. How in the world could he still be allowed to hold the title? Everyone knows he is banging the bosses daughter, but that is no reason to keep us, the fans, with him. The fans do not want to see him as champ but who cares what we think. And they wonder why the ratings are down, think about it Vince. Sorry for the rant but this is just stupid.

"Hey everybody!" "Hey Dr. Nitz!" Sorry had a Simpson's moment. Val is now at college. Well we made it back around 7 this evening and I made it to bingo about 7:30. I will have pics up somewhere when I get them loaded on the computer. All for now.

Helping move into college...again

In a little while I will be leaving to help Val move in to her dorm at Kent State University. As I said 'helping move into college...again', this will be the 7th time I have helped someone move to a college. What is hard to believe is that I have helped people move in but have never done so myself. I guess I was fortunate to be able to go to a community college and get my degree, although I did miss out on allot of the college experience. No one to blame but myself for that. I will probably have some pics to post later so till then, oot.

Time to for a little rant

As you all know I have been chairman of St. Mary's Bingo for about 6 years now. During this time I have done allot to make it better and generate more money for the parish. Last night at a K of C meeting, the trustees and Fr. Ralko said that they have say over us and anything that we do. This is bullshit, these men have no idea what goes on at bingo or how to even run it. They even admitted to such. Now I have to get their permission to do stuff that I have always done before. As far as I know my name is at the top of the list of people that are in charge of bingo and it is a small list, 3 at most. I have been told to just be patient and go along with it but I say "FUCK THAT!!!!" I am not going to listen to a bunch of guys that know nothing. Besides if they are in charge where have they been for the last 6 years? I will tell you, they have been in the bar drinking and laughing at the few of us that have been running our asses off keeping things going. As far as I am concerned these people can all go to hell and rot. Yes that includes a priest but there is more there then what I want to get into now. If you read this far, thanks for letting me vent and sorry for the swearing but that is what I am thinking. I will keep you posted on this as I get more info.

Revelation

A new pastor moved into town and went out one Saturday to visit his community. All went well until he came to one house. It was obvious that someone was home, but no one came to the door even after he knocked several times. Finally, he took out his card, wrote on the back "Revelation 3:20" and stuck it in the door.

The next day, as he was counting the offering he found his card in the collection plate. Below his message was a notation "Genesis 3:10." Upon opening his Bible to the passage he let out a roar of laughter.

Revelation 3:20 reads: (Pastors note) "Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If any man hear my voice, and opens the door, I will come into him, and will dine with him, and he with me."

Genesis 3:10 reads: "And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked."

Yahoo! News - Teens Accused of Homeless Stun-Gun Attacks. I know I have not said anything on this yet so here it is; these kids are just plain dumbasses. They want to shock people, then give them a taste of what they were doing. Hook wires to there nipples and then let any homeless person that wants to come by press a button and sent a shock to them. I know it is cruel but that is what it is going to take to get people to stop committing crimes. Make the punishment so outragous that they won't do it, and if they do make the punishment stick. No getting off for what ever reason. Too many damn lawyers.

What a day

I just spent the day with my mother and brother. I know I said that I would never go shopping with them again but I gave in. Talk about boring. That and my mom need to get some driving lessons. When the speed says 65 mph, that means 65 mph not 50-55 mph. It took one hour to get to Canton. I can make it in 30-40 minutes. I should not complain though, I spent $60 and came home with 2 pants, 3 shorts and 3 shirts. Plus some cool WWE action figures that I will put away and will be worth some major bucks in about 10 years. That is all for now, see you all later.

God sent

A 2nd grader asked her mother the age-old question, "How did I get here?"
Her mother told her, "God sent you."

"Did God send you, too?" the child asked.

"Yes, Dear," the mother replied.

"What about Grandma and Grandpa?" the child persisted.

"He sent them also," the mother said.

"Did he send their parents, too?" asked the child.

"Yes, dear, he did," the mother answered patiently.

"So you're telling me that there has been no sex in this family for 200 years! No wonder everyone's so grouchy around here."
