Day started out well. Alex was impatient, of course, and popped into the den at 7 am to discover how much Santa had added to his stash. His Oma came over to play with him, and all was well. The toilet stopped flushing, and backed up into the tub. Drano and plungers had no effect. Angela got pulled over for speeding (warning thank goodness). Plumber only cost 130 bucks, but says our entire sewer line needs to be replaced some time in the next year, at a cost of 1400 dollars or so. Joy to the world.
Coming up next, dinner with a friend’s family at the house. Let’s hope the plumbing cooperates.
I’ve made a lot of complicated things from paper, including a grand piano (twice), a cuckoo clock, and a Viking ship. But, the Yamaha Motor Paper Craft site is daunting even to me. Dayum. Imagine assembling a motorcycle out of paper, including suspension and tires and all. Geez.
Poster of importance to Washington state troopers, anyway. From March 4 to Nov. 27, 2002, one Adams County highway cleanup crew picked up 2,666 jugs of urine and 67 bags with human excrement in them.

Texas housewife busted for hawking erotic toys
I love this state. Not only can’t I buy a decent bottle of beer in the city limits of San Angelo, I can’t buy sex toys either! When will the insanity end?
Seriously, they used undercover narcotics officers to run an anti-vibrator sting. I’m guessing there are more important ‘crimes’ to solve.
In case you want to know what it looks like when you pull up nasty ass carpet and find hardwood floors that “need a little work,” check out our latest addition to Bunk’s Gallery: Redecorating. Whoo boy. Wish we could have just had elves do that for us…
Three coats of polyurethane later, the floors are as complete as they will get in the near future. Now, to turn the former garage into a decent room, rather than the warehouse-like vault it was last week.
And, two finals down, one to go. Too bad the one remaining is the one that I’m hoping to maybe just pass the damned class…

PowerPoint Makes You Dumb
Really, the title says it all. Except, of course, that astronauts may have died because Powerpoint is a tool of stupid shit.
Anyone else look at The Dobbertin Surface Orbiter and think, Ark II or maybe the vehicle in Damnation Alley?
Octodog looks an awful lot like CthulhuDog to me…
Not only are there hardwood floors hiding under carpet through 75% of the new house, the hardwood is in decent condition and is absolutely gorgeous. The living room in particular has some fabulous looking wood. Makes me really question the sanity of someone who would cover it up on purpose. Photos soon.
A reaction to vaccinations, including anthrax, probably killed 22-year-old Rachael Lacy — and her grieving father thinks the Army has a lot of questions to answer.

The Friday Five for this week is all about shopping.
- 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.
- What was the last thing you purchased? Christmas presents. They’re top secret
- Do you prefer shopping online or at an actual store? Why? Online – no lines and everything is in stock.
- Did you get an allowance as a child? How much? Yep, but I don’t remember how much. That was a while back.
- 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.
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.
