Homeless - 96

Fellow humans,

Odds and ends...

The weather in the Dallas area is a bit different from the last ten of seasons that I remember. Today is 4/20 and it is a bit chilly. I recall times in previous seasons of it being warmer at this time, enough to partake of pool activities like swimming and other things that people do in the water. Not this season - still too cold. I've still the winter thongs utilized with the summer thongs just waiting to burst out onto the scene. The people in Montana are probably thinking what wimps we Texans are, and already thong-clad. Maybe the season difference is due to the climate change that our politicians said in the recent past was a non-issue. The Artic ice does seem to be diminishing and opening up that area  for shorter commercial passages...and resource extraction. Could that be the reason for multiple military presences in the Artic Circle? Even Nova Scotia has a battle fleet cruising those waters. Seriously, I've read where the Inuits of Greenland are positioning themselves to be a major player in that effort. Perhaps they remember what the Europeans did to the Native Americans years ago when the white man spoke with a forked tongue. That may not happen this time around. Maybe their environment will be better taken care of.

You can't live within an environment and not affect it; just ask the next beaver you meet at a bar or church.

If you have a Carl's Burger place in your neck of the woods - beware. I got a couple of coupons out of the paper and tried their sausage biscuits. They were decent. One night I tried their 1.49 burger that came with no frills. I had lettuce, tomato and mustard added. I was told that it would be an additional .39. It was Friday night and I felt like living it up Wang Chung style and said sure. As it turned out, the anemic slice of tomato was .39 and the small lettuce leaf was .39; yes, a substantial increase. They didn't charge me for the mustard though. I know, I was lucky.

A better deal can be had at Wendy's. Order their double stack for 1.99 and they'll put everything on it for free; plus the burger is of better quality.

The Boston marathon attack was...I don't know the words to express it. Two cowardly, pond scum sucking, worthless, idiotic, dumbassine, stupid, vermin infested, foul smelling, spineless, ball-less, overly flatulent,  demonic minions of the dark lord, toe scum sucking, (wait, not finished yet) shit eating pussies, low down, lying, cheating, egg sucking, honorless, godless heathens, misguided, plague infested, slimy, no good for nuthin', (pant, pant) yellow-bellied, chicken-thieving, low-life assholes killed some and maimed many of the race's participants. From what I've read, there was no political or religious reason behind the attack, no social statement to make. Even if there were, still ain't no excuse, as Grandma would say.

One of the things that I don't understand about such attacks is that they are aimed at the unsuspecting innocents. Why don't the terrorists go after the power and/or the people responsible for institutions? Why don't they mount offensive combat operations against the politicians or hardened targets like military bases or law enforcement elements? Instead, they go after the easy targets. Those cowardly...never mind - see above.

I feel for those race participants that lost a leg from those explosions. Maybe its just me but I see those people as those who love to run. Now some of them can't do that anymore, stripped of a major pastime that they enjoyed immensely. Not only were they physically injured but there are psychological issues at stake that will be years in duration.

You have to hand it to the Boston PD. They shut the area down - no ins, no outs, everybody stay inside. And then they ran those two worthless shits to ground.

I really think we need to institute public executions for assholes like these. Make it on a Friday night, sell tickets and air it on cable. The methods of execution are quite numerous and can be lengthy and quite entertaining. Imagine the perp being chased within an enclosed area by a horde of pissed-off Doxies. Being small in stature, they would have to start at the ankles and gnaw the perp's legs down until they were able to get to the vital entrails.

The buildup won't be of Super Bowl caliber but I think the ratings would be there.

Next time...
