Little Johnny

I swear this is not THE BOY. Promise. Really. But I’d be damned proud of him if it was.

Random Thoughts

It’s Friday. I’m at the office. THE WOMAN is out of town. FDSM is home sick. My thesis paper is a week behind schedule. Do really think I’ve got time for this blogging shit?

But I know how heart broken all three of you will be if’n I don’t give you my thoughts for the day. And God forbid I let you down.

• J-E-T-S fans are pissed. Maybe Commissioner Goodell should have beheaded Bill Belichick. Then the Patriots would have only won by two touchdowns last week. The dangling-arm Chad is weak. Get on with your life.
• The bad guy was killed by the police. Consider this proof that there is a God, and He is good.
• Thinking outside the box, the Japanese have decided they can build golf courses on the moon cheaper than here on Earth. Good for them. Now I can get better tee times at General’s Ridge. Let’s just hope they beat Google.
• The Post hates on W. Here. Here. And, you guessed it, here. But Petraeus can put them all in check. The bitches at MoveOn.org might need to watch their asses.
• First he was a killer. Now he’s a thief. What’s next for OJ, kiddie porn?
• A mountain bike for you kids? Sure. One that costs $450? You must be smoking some really good crack. My first car barely cost that much. And that fucker’d do a hundred thru the 1/4 mile.
• TV is a wasteland, but we still watch. What does that say about us? Try reading a book for Chirst’s sake. I recommend starting with The Dangerous Book for Boys
• Good, fast or cheap.  The Silver Line isn’t going to be any of those three.  If Metro can’t pay the bills now, and refuses to look for a part time job, then why bother with new track?  If the cabbies at Dulles could speak English like good Americans they’d be throwing a shit fit over the competition for all those high dollar fares.

Now go forth and piss off your cube mates.

Homer

The Simpson’s Movie dominated this weekend.  I almost went to see when I was in Detroit Saturday morning, long story - details later.  Maybe.  Instead I held off until I got home so I could take THE BOY.  Trust me, he was not the only kid in the theater under 13.  I doubt he got most of the jokes, but he did laugh his ass off a number of times, and spit out a lot of lines verbatim at dinner for his mother.  She was proud.  NOT.

The picture was taken at the MEGA-MEGA plex in Detroit.

Chess Pieces

In recent weeks I’ve decided that THE BOY needs to learn the manly art of playing chess. The local Toys’r'Us had a couple of sets to choose from, including one that I had never seen before. It actually did help him keep the moves that different pieces make straight in his head. Bobby Fisher would have been proud.
