Waffle House

Dennis not as dangerous as past Panhandle storms

Back in the Panhandle, Craig Fugate, the state’s emergency management director, exhorted his staff to respond quickly and rapidly.

And he said search and rescue teams, also well experienced by now, had an effective way of deciding how much time to spend in one area before moving to another. He called it the ”Waffle House” test.

”If the Waffle House is still serving,” he said, “go to the next county.”

If the Waffle House is still serving – all ain’t that bad in the south.

It’s important to have gages these days – what with earthquakes, floods, hurricanes and terrorist attacks.

In Los Angeles, if the local crack dealer is open for business – all is right. It was when he was selling American flags, like right after 9/11 that I knew something BIG and AWFUL has just occurred.

 

Just…

Dear Tina,

Is psychiatry bad like Tom Cruise and L. Ron Hubbard say? Please advise.

Curious in Peoria


Dear Curious,

You know who hates psychiatry more than anything? Psychiatric patients.

Think about it Curious, would you ask someone with a mouth full of rotting teeth what they think about dentistry? Would you take their opinion to heart regardless of how many books they’ve read on the subject? Nope.

Since, no one in their right mind goes to see a psychiatrist. It is easy to have reports of them being connected to the CIA, the Alien Conspiracy and fluorinated water (those and a host of other plots that an aluminum hat will take care of).

So you may want to consider the source before dismissing an entire discipline.

Besides an industry that stopped giving lobotomies 50 years ago, can’t be all bad.

That’s right – impotence drugs have been tied to blindness.

If the Universe wasn’t awful and cruel – when an old man TAKES Viagra – his WIFE would be the one that gets to be blind.

old

Call it chemically induced mood lighting.

Aw, Viagra – so bad for your heart and vision – so GOOD for comedy.

Medicare has been paying for Viagra for sex offenders.

My question is: Viagra was introduced 7 years ago -
THEY’RE JUST NOW FIGURING THIS OUT!?!

Those whose JOB it is – to THINK about this stuff – didn’t think that the men that would be FIRST in line for a SEXUAL ENHANCING drug could be RAPISTS!?! And that if those offenders were on Medicare – ‘we the people’ would be PAYING FOR IT. No one thought about this BEFORE it was included on the Medicare drug plan? No one?

Who’s job was it? I want a name! Who? That’s whose next for a promotion in the Bush Cabinet. I read the papers, I know. Bush promotes them and if they’ve screwed up big enough they suddenly want to spend more time with their families. Who’s getting promoted? Just a hint. Who?

 

kudzu

Kudzu is an invasive plant that flourished in this country. It has devastated crops in the southeastern United States over the last few decades. If you live in the south or have ever been to the south – you’ve seen kudzu.

It was brought over to this continent from China.

I think Southerners should put down their pulled pork sandwiches and UNITE! I say they go and drop a bunch of skunks (native of north America) to China. That’s right, China – it’s payback time and this time – its personal!

This would be an especially rude awakening to the Chinese people. These people that so dutifully eat rats when their government asks them to. I love my country – but I don’t love ANYTHING that much. Anyway, imagine a nice Chinese family sitting down to dinner and a weird cat waltzes in their home with a sign around it’s neck:
“This is for all the Kudzu!”

Wrong, I know…but very funny.

In an attempt to see how this plague of a plant is useful, researches in Boston have tried its effects on binge drinking.


Lukas was not certain why but speculated that kudzu increases blood alcohol levels and speeds up its effects. More simply put, the subjects needed fewer beers to feel drunk.

I don’t want to second guess any Harvard affiliated researcher BUT Vicodin already DOES THAT! Does the world need a pill that makes you feel drunk quicker? YES! Are there already SEVERAL varieties to choose from? Ask any high school student – YES.

You know what would really take care of the over growth of this annoying plant? If it made you feel drunk without drinking at all. Have a problem with toads – tell some teenagers that licking them will get them high. Have a problem with mushrooms in your field – just let them know it makes them see stuff. If you want to make the kudzu problem go away – tell the kids that smoking it will make Burger King palatable and WB programming BRILLIANT.

 

Shameless Plug

I got a copy of Freakonomics. I’m so smitten with this book that by the time I got to page 120, I was sad that there were only 60 pages left. It’s the most interesting, well-written book I’ve gotten my hands on in a long time.

“Morality, it could be argued, represents the way that people would like the world to work – whereas economics represents how it actually does work.”
Freakonomics – A Rogue Enonomist Explores the Hidden Side of Everything

In a time of fear and hysteria – theory based on numbers is so comforting.

Read the book and then we can all talk about it.

 

Oh, Woops

666616

Revelation! 666 is not the number of the beast (it’s a devilish 616)
01 May 2005

A newly discovered fragment of the oldest surviving copy of the New Testament indicates that, as far as the Antichrist goes, theologians, scholars, heavy metal groups, and television evangelists have got the wrong number. Instead of 666, it’s actually the far less ominous 616.

The bible has in it what is called gematria. Letters have numerical value. Six hundred and sixty-six means Nero Caesar. Six-hundred and sixteen means Caligula. I think we can all agree that these two emperors were very much anti-Christian and thus appropriately assumed to be anti-Christs.

This changes everything!
616 also stands for:
-Rupert Murdoch
-Bill O’Reilly
-‘liberal judges

616, is also the area code for Grand Rapids, Michigan…I think the evidence speaks for itself.

I’m also thinking that religious leaders aren’t big on historical accuracies. The way I see it, when you tell your followers that God is talking to you, and God always suspiciously talks like He’s right out of a Shakespeare play – you might not care if it was revealed that the Book of Revelations was off by a digit.

I do feel sorry for all the poor saps, that in a rebellious drunken haze, got a tattoo of the ‘number of the beast’ only to now be informed that it’s the number of a beast and not in fact the beast!

Spike: “Uh, yeah Doc, could you take this tattoo off?”

Laser Doc: “You’ve found Jesus?”

Spike: “No. I was mislead by the Gideons Bible I found in a Motel 6 after a week long bender. *sigh* Wrong beast!”

I have built a ‘culture of life’ in my frig. That’s a three week old pork chop. It’s that evil science again. Out to make a pun of the president’s commitment to extremists. DAMN YOU SCIENCE!
 

I HATE Monkeys!

I hate monkeys. I hate them. I don’t go places where they have monkeys. I don’t go to zoos. I avoid the 3rd Street Promenade where the street performers have monkeys. I hate monkeys. If I’m watching a nature program where they show pictures of monkeys, I change the channel. I hate monkeys.

Some people are afraid of spiders. Some people are afraid of heights. Some people are deathly afraid of public speaking. Not me. I have no fears of those things. I can do stand up comedy on a cliff with a spider in my hand and be just fine. I fear monkeys. Creepy, rabies carrying, biting scary little monkeys.

Some of you smart-ass biology minded people will undoubtedly wonder,”Are you talking about chimpanzees and gorillas?”

YES. All of them. I don’t like any of them. Ugh.

People that are afraid of flying feel JUSTIFIED in their phobia when they see a story of a plane crash. I read this story.

The chimps chewed off St. James Davis’ nose and severely mauled his genitals and limbs Thursday before the son-in-law of the sanctuary’s owner shot the animals to death, authorities said.

And now I am more than comfortable with my neurotic aversions!
