The Friday Five for this week is all about shopping.

  1. Do you like to shop? Why or why not? I like to buy. Shopping is just the time-wasting done by people who don’t know what they want.
  2. What was the last thing you purchased? Christmas presents. They’re top secret
  3. Do you prefer shopping online or at an actual store? Why? Online – no lines and everything is in stock.
  4. Did you get an allowance as a child? How much? Yep, but I don’t remember how much. That was a while back.
  5. What was the last thing you regret purchasing? I can’t recall. I avoid regret.

I’m very unaccustomed to being a stereotypical “sit and watch TV while the women work” guy during Thanksgiving. My beautiful bride and her step-sisters-in-law (is that even a relative?) did most of the work today, and a fantastic meal it was. Turkey, ham, green bean casserole, mashed potatoes, gravy, pecan pie, pumpkin pie, pecan pie, pumpkin cheesecake, pecan pie, and apple pie. Yes, that many pecan pies.

Mood: sated

From the Margaret Cho BLOG:

Some people worship cock. I am guilty of that. But cock is really Godlike, as is the vagina, depending on my mood. I am bi-spiritual.

Shevardnadze resigns as president of Georgia to avoid bloodshed

Think about that statement for a while. Let it really sink in. That is what makes the USA great.

ZCardz

Z Cardz are kind of cool. Think of some small boy and how much fun he’d have punching out small plastic parts and putting together a model airplane. Now think how much fun his parents will have paying 50 cents for each model. He’s gonna lose the pieces and break it no matter how much you pay, so might as well get five models at a time for $2.50, eh? 🙂

Yeah, these are definite stocking stuffers this year.

What do you think? I need to choose a different font, but I think it’s subtle enough…

Interesting interview with RFK’s son, the environmental lawyer.
Save the Earth — dump Bush

Many of our laws will remain on the books in one form or another. But we’ll be Mexico, which has these wonderful, even poetic, environmental laws, but nobody knows about them and nobody complies with them because they can’t be enforced.

The National Academy of Sciences predicts that 30,000 Americans a year will die because of the Bush decision. And that’s just one of the impacts.

Another is that airborne mercury contamination has made it dangerous to eat any freshwater fish in 28 states and the fish in most of our coastal waters. And that mercury is coming from those same power plants. Fifty percent of the lakes in the Adirondacks are now sterilized from acid rain that’s coming from those same power plants.

Windows XP wants to know what to do with every CD you put into the drive. Even if you select, “do nothing” and “always take the selected action” it still asks you if you’ve changed your mind. For crying out loud, you handholding annoyance of an OS, stop asking me stupid fucking questions!

Here’s another one: Windows ME and Office 2000 introduced the magical self-editing menus. I grew accustomed to these items. XP got rid of the personalized start menu. Oh, it says that it personalizes the menu, but it does it differently. I don’t want to be limited to the dozen or so applications that will fit in the first column. I want to be able to go to the programs menu and see the programs I use commonly. Why is that so hard? Why must Windows become less friendly to powerusers with every iteration?

We’re only a couple generations away from getting Windows BOB – the sequel.

As pointed out by Elizabeth, the Homosexual Agenda is largely a myth made up by homophobes. What in the world is so scary about gays? How does allowing a pair of men (who already live together monogamously) to call themselves “married” make a damned bit of difference to anyone else? The people who live upstairs I assume are married. It’s a man and woman, but if they weren’t married, that would make no difference. If they were two women, that would make no difference to me either.

Homosexual agenda. See also liberal media bias.

Shamelessly stolen from Jason.

Current.org | News viewers’ perceptions

The University of Maryland’s Program on International Policy Attitudes surveyed a bunch of people and asked them to tell whether these three statements were true or false:

  • Iraq was involved in the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks or proven to be supporting al-Qaeda.
  • Weapons of mass destruction had been found in Iraq.
  • International popular opinion favored the U.S. war against Iraq.

All three are false. But two-thirds of about 3,000 respondants said at least one was true. How likely you were to be suckered depended on your primary source of news:

  • Fox — 80%
  • CBS — 71%
  • ABC — 61%
  • NBC — 55%
  • CNN — 55%
  • Print media — 47%
  • PBS/NPR — 23%

If you watch Fox News, you’re almost four times as likely to believe false things than if your primary news sources are public broadcasting.

The boy and I went to see the new Looney Tunes movie today. We were both amused. I suspect I appreciated more than he the surfeit of shots focused tightly on Jenna Elfman’s tight buns and long legs. She spent the vast majority of the movie in miniskirts and shorts. I guess that’s how they got the PG rating.

As for the rest of the movie (yes I did notice other things), it was pretty funny and goofy. It’s pretty much what you would expect from a Looney Tunes live action movie, but with a stupendous number of inside jokes. Ralph is hanging out with the sheep and wolf, the frog sings, “Hello my baby” and so on. At four, Alex laughed at many places, but I laughed at many more. I think it’s safe to assume the movie was written for folks who are adults but remember the 90 minutes every Saturday spent watching Wile E. Coyote blowing himself up with shoddy Acme products. And for the women, Brendan Fraser flexes a lot.

I noticed I have an 85 cent credit on my Cafepress account for a referral sale. I can’t see who lists me as a referrer, but whoever you are, “Congratulations!” It’s a bit of a pipe dream for someone with a full-time job (and school and family) to think they’ll make any money on CP, so it’s especially gratifying that I got a sale myself in this time. Someone bought a clock. I think I’ll use my next batch of CafePress Bucks to buy myself a DPRK calendar. That’ll look nice in my cubicle…

Autumn in West Texas is unlike autumn in the northern regions. Autumn here consists of one or two days of summer alternated with a day or two of winter. It’s as if Mother Nature decided that Texas in the fall should be an average instead of a steady-state.

Why would one take beautiful hardwood floors and cover them with shag carpeting? What in the world were people thinking in the 70s? And don’t get me started on multi-colored confetti-like carpet colors. Ick.

Stolen from Mark, who stole it from a complete stranger (to me anyway), who apparently stole it from somewhere else, based on its completely Japanese nature. I give you bullet-time ping pong. Yes, that’s right, a Matrix-esque effect created entirely by men in black. It’s hilarious.
