Waiter Glossary?

Mr Creosote from Monty Python's "Meaning of Life"

Waiter Glossary:
"Would you care to hear tonight's specials?" = Suuuccckkkkers....
"Of course, sir" = Fuck you, jackass
"I'll be happy to" = And the horse you rode in on.
"I'll check on that right away" = I'm about one second away from stabbing you with my substandard, company-issued corkscrew.


Feel free to add to this list, especially if you've ever waited tables.

Support the troops? What does that mean??? Deny them a light at the end of their tunnel? To what ends? What can possibly be won now? These are people, somebody's beloved relative, everyone should read this and understand what our poor troops are going through, for no reason, reason is absent here. Supporting the troops should mean bringing them home, fucking right fucking now. Fuck.

HOLY SHIT!!!!

An oldie but goodie, now with mouse-over fun and new critters!
FACES OF METH

Good tune by slightly creepy family act The Wrights

I know you don't feel the way you used to
Did the best you could I know you tried
Oh hunni, don'tcha feel to bad
I ain't really all that sad
I've been down this road a million times

A few more days and it'll all be over
I read all the books on gettin' by
Oh hunni, if you see me cryin'
Don't you worry I'll be fine
I've been down this road a million times

And let me make just one thing clear
My heart won't lie about the way I feel
I've taken all the love I could possibly steal
I've been down this road a million times

If you ever get to feelin' lonesome
Just around the way c'mon by
It's ok if you don't stay long
I'll be fine on my own
I've been down this road a million times

Yea it's ok if you don't stay long
I'll be fine on my own
I've been down this road a million times

Oh, I've been down this road a million times
Oh, I've been down this road a million times

Here's the vid at CMT, requires Internet Exploder and the patience to sit thru some fucked up commercial.

Gram Parsons was one of the finest singer/songwriters ever in America. He died in 1973, but left an enduring ...blah blah blah.
He was the only man ever to match Emmylou Harris' perfect singing in many beautiful duets.
This vid is my favorite (and most everyone else's that know of him) song by Gram Parsons.

Pat Condell is the best truth speaker since Richard Dawkins, with nearly the same accent, but way more vitriol and humor. Please view his vids on YouTube or MySpace.

Geek Rock

Ya know, Crackerdog, I'm no big fan of LOTR imagery and only a lukewarm fan of cheesemetal, but put the two together and it's a lot of fun! Thank you for introducing me to Within Temptation. This must be who Evanescence wishes they were.

Bye bye Jerry!

Oh, and fuck you, you worthless shitbag. Love, the Immoral Minority. As usual, Rude Pundit expresses my thoughts o so much better than I could.

Chuckanut

Excellent kayaking today, drove the very long way to Larrabee State Park and met my friend Abdul-Kareem-Al-Habar-Muhammed-Ghengis the Jihadist for a paddle around the bay, then Caesar salad and sushi at The Big Fat Fish Company. Eclectic menu, too many cuisines on one page, with plenty of questionable items like Halibut Puttanesca, but damn was that sushi good. The Hefeweizin wasn't too bad either. Still no shots of my own, so here's some I stole from somebody of where we were paddling. Oh, yeah, Dad's in the psych ward. Yay!

$100 more every month

The landlord is raising the rent. It's a nice place, though. I don't want to leave it, but in the winter I won't be able to pay rent and heat.
Sigh.
Good kayaking today, no new pics, so here's some old ones.

Bald-Faced Hornets

Some of these enormous beasties have been flying in through my permanently open doors and windows. (My friends say "Why don't you lock your house?" I say, "If I get burglarized, why replace a broken window too?")
The smarter ones do a u-turn, but of course 51% are complete idiots, just like voters. Those ones bang angrily on the window until the cat hears about it. Then I gotta kill 'em. While looking up info on these giant pain inducing insects from hell, I came across this really fun page on the subject. The author never mentions killing them or destroying their nests. Great images, too!
