Saying Good-bye

As I write this, I have the ending theme from Wolf's Rain, Gravity, running through my head. For some reason, I feel it fits. I don't know why.

And I'm doing everything in my power not to cry right now. But it's tough. It's really, really tough.

It's with a heavy heart that I type this news: Walker Edmiston, the voice of Inferno from The Transformers, has died.

To say that I am saddened is putting it mildly. Transformers was a huge part of my life when I was a kid; it made a huge impact on me. I emulated many of the Autobots and idolized them as heroes. A lot of my morals and values came from that simple little cartoon show. And hearing the news that we've lost another member of the cast is quite a blow to me.

I never had a chance to meet Mr. Edmiston. He never made an appearance at a BotCon. I never had a chance to get a G1 Inferno toy autographed by him, never had the chance to hear him tell any tales of doing voiceover work with the rest of the Transformers cast, never had a chance to tell him how much I appreciated the work he did. And that hurts. It really hurts.

I'll never be able to tell him in person, so I'll try to say it here: Farewell, Mr. Edmiston. Thank you for the work you did as Inferno. I wish I could have had the chance to meet you, to tell you how much I enjoyed your work. I'll miss you.

Been a long road to follow
Been there and gone tomorrow
Without saying goodbye to yesterday
Are the memories I hold still valid?
Or have the tears deluded them?
Maybe this time tomorrow
the rain will cease to follow
and the mist will fade into one more today
Cause the road keeps on telling me to go on...
Something is pulling me.
I feel the gravity of it all.

And John Edwards Took This Yutz Seriously......

We can't find fault with the Catholic Church, but what the hell, let's hear a good old fashioned gook joke.

Wow. Seriously. Wow.

Oh, and John-boy? Fuck you. I refuse to vote for your sorry ass. I don't give a damn that she offered her resignation, you didn't do or say much to actually help the sitch. So, take your "personally offended by previous writings" bullshit and cram it. I'm almost glad you didn't end up as VP, you nauseating douche.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go puke now.

The Bitch is Back! (Redux)

Been meaning to blog about this, but thanks to a ten ton sack of bullshit, I haven't had the chance. 'Til now. Enjoy.

Does this dumb twit even know how to STFU?!

I mean, seriously. You lost. Fucking deal with it.

A Loganville mother who claims Harry Potter books promote wickedness and witchcraft said she will appeal the state's decision to allow the best-selling books to remain in Gwinnett school libraries.

Laura Mallory, who has three children in elementary school, said Wednesday she has requested an appeal of her case to Gwinnett Superior Court.

Mallory has said the books should be removed from all Gwinnett County public schools.

County school board members said the books are tools to encourage children to read and to spark creativity and imagination. In May, the county decided to deny Mallory's request.

The state board did not consider the merits of the books in making its decision. Instead, board members were asked to determine whether Gwinnett had properly handled Mallory's complaint. Without discussion, objection or comment, the members upheld the school system's procedure — much to Mallory's chagrin.

"I really feel like they haven't addressed all the issues that I've raised," Mallory said after the state board decision in December.

Mallory said Wednesday she's ready for a legal fight. She said she's contacted a potential expert witness to lend support to her case. And she said supporters who urged her to press on have sent her "significant donations" to help pay legal fees.

I have but one thing to say to all this:

(Insert Scream Here)

I've had it with this month. It needs to end. NOW.

Seriously, anymore stupidity that happens this month, and I'm gonna go postal. This is not a joke.

First, we lost our LCD monitor. The backlight burned out. This lovely little incident left us without any real net access for a good long while. We're now using a CRT monitor, but it feels like a huge step down. We'd love to get the LCD monitor fixed, but I'm betting that ten to one there will be no user serviceable parts inside. And trying to get it fixed will probably cost more than a new one.

Then, I caught the stomach bug from hell, and passed it to Prime. It hit him worse than it hit me. He's just now gotten over it.

Because we both felt like shit for at least two weeks, Prime and I were sniping at each other constantly. It was as though we were both ready to start a fight about something. anything, to get our minds off of feeling so lousy. All this did was lead to hurt feelings. (Sorry about all that bullshit, Prime. You forgive me?)

The fucking monster cold that I caught in December is still clinging on; I still have coughing fits from this bullshit. They mostly occur at night, just before bed. And I am dead sick of swallowing cold medication just to get a decent night's sleep.

My transfer went through in October, which is great, but the manager I am under has been in the world's pissiest mood lately; he's been threatening people with termination for nothing more than cracking jokes. I am now walking on eggshells, trying to stay the hell out of his way. And I am forced to wonder if this really was such a great idea.

Now our vacation plans are in jeopardy. We may have to cancel our reservation with our hotel of first choice because we've been screwed out of the special rate for one night. We may have to jump ship to a secondary hotel, which I don't really want to do. (All the good shit happens at the primary hotel.) But we gotta do what we gotta do, like it or not. I am still extremely pissed off about all of this, though.

Great start to 2007, no?

Fuck this month. Let's head straight to February and beyond, starting NOW.

Fear It!

There's been an update on TFW2005, dealing with upcoming TF movie merchadise. You can find the complete list here, but for your convience I'll just post it here.

Fuck Disney

Seriously, Disney can go fuck themselves.

I wish I could tell you that I won't be bringing anymore of Disney's tripe into my house, but I cannot. The sorry ratfuckers have me by the short curlies: they have the exclusive rights to Hayao Miyazaki's masterpieces here in the states. I'm pretty much forced to pay that grinning pile of rodent feces blood money.

Dammit.

I can only hope that the money I pay lines the pockets of Miyazaki-san, who is a true genius, and not the hack who greenlighted the 37th Beauty and the Beast straight to DVD release. =/

--Weasel, "One can hope."

One gunned salutes to Jesus General and Firedoglake.

PS: If you have no idea who Miyazaki is, please take the time to find out. And for goodness sakes, check out his animated masterpieces. They put our current animated tripe to shame. Trust me on this. You won't be sorry.

Oh Holy Fuck

It seems someone brought a cell phone to Saddam's execution.

This makes the Saddam hangman look tasteful.

Out With the Old

In with the new!

2007 is coming and I am ready for it. Ten to one, it'll be a much better year than this year. And here are a few reasons why (in no particular order):

*BotCon will be held during summer, not fall.

*The Transformers live action movie hits theatres July 4th.

*Pokémon Diamond and Pearl will hit the States on April 22nd.

*Tons 'o TFs, thanks to the movie.

*New TF series.

*One full year in the house (hopefully the first of many).

*New Pokémon items, thanks to Jakks Pacific :).

*A nice, long, healthy summer.

*Pokémon Battle Revolution. 'Nuff said.

And last but not least......

*Only two years left and the Shrub is pruned!!! Hot damn!!

--Weasel, "Pop the cork, baby! Bring it on!"

Can I Get a "WTF?" Here?!

Why the fuck would this bullshit even be an issue?

Seriously, why in the flying fuck would anyone want to see that? I sure as hell wouldn't. But, hey what the hell do I know? I'm a soy eatin', pansy-ass, bleedin' heart lib.

Still down with this damn cold; it's been a week and I still feel like hammered shit. My voice keeps waiting to cut out, I feel like I swallowed mud and I'm constantly tired.

I hate cold and flu season.

I hate December.

As you might have guessed, I'm not exactly in the "Chri$tma$ spirit". I probably won't be for the next few Chri$tma$ seasons, if ever. This same thing happened to me several years ago, when I broke up with my idiot ex. It took quite a few years before I got my "holiday mojo" back.

It may not happen this time.

I may just say to hell with Chri$tma$ altogether. I've just gotten too damn cynical to celebrate much of anything anymore.

7

I feel like hammered shit.

Caught the cold from hell last Friday and the bastard is still hanging on. All I want to do is sleep. That and dose myself with cold medication, for all the good that shit does. (The only reason I'm conscious now is because I need to eat.) I'm congested, I feel hot and cold at the same time, and my ears are completely plugged.

This sucks.

Perfect beginning to a shitty month. Time to crash, again.

11

It's officially December, the ass end of the year. Time for Chri$tma$ shopping, holiday parties and people getting drunk for next to no reason. Hoo-ray.

It's also the anniversary of Wavebreaker's death.

I hate December. It's too damn cold. It's "holidays" are too damn fakey and it has the dubious distinction of giving us the longest night of the year.

And we had a death in the family, not one year ago.

Can we just fast-forward through this wretched month? 2007 will be much, much better.

Why Do They Deserve This?

Un-fucking-believable.

Fred Phelps is a fucking moron. Does he even have a functioning brain anymore? What, were these poor kids members of the Sodomy Squadron or something?

Seriously. What. The. FUCK?!

Where Have You Gone, America?

Where have you gone?

The combined $39.1 million bond for the workers and their supporters is far and above the normal amount of bail set for people accused of even violent crimes in Harris County. While each of the non-violent protestors is being held on $888,888 bail ...

* For a woman charged with beating her granddaughter to death with a
sledgehammer, bail was set at $100,000;

* For a woman accused of disconnecting her quadriplegic mother's breathing
machine, bail was set at $30,000;

* For a man charged with murder for stabbing another man to death in a bar
brawl, bail was set at $30,000;

* For janitors and protesters charged with Class B misdemeanors for past
non-violent protests, standard bail has been set at $500 each.

More than 5,300 Houston janitors are paid $20 a day with no health insurance, among the lowest wages and benefits of any workers in America.

Only in America. So much for the terrorists hating us because we're free.

--Weasel, left to cry "America my country, where have you gone?"

"He's Thinking for Himself...! Get Him!"

So much for the idea that college campuses are liberal havens.

At least the victim is suing over this bullshit.

Thanks to AmericaBlog for the update.

Weasel, "This is some serious bullshit!"

Welcome to Amerikka

I cannot fucking believe this.

It is the most sickening thing I've ever seen.

What the fuck happened to my goddamned country?

Seriously, what the FUCK?! What the in the hell happened to my country? How in the flying fuck could something as gods awful as this happen in a "free society" such as ours?

This goes beyond the pale. I'm too pissed to even think straight.

Maybe this'll help calm me down.

I leave you with this:

Now, this is the world we live in
And these are the hands we're given
Use them and let's start trying
To make it a place worth fighting for

Let the healing begin, baby.

Something's Rotten in Denmark

Actually, it's the US, but you get the idea.

"Peterson objected to the interrogation techniques used on prisoners. She refused to participate after only two nights working in the unit known as the cage. Army spokespersons for her unit have refused to describe the interrogation techniques Alyssa objected to. They say all records of those techniques have now been destroyed. ...".

.............

"But on the night of September 15th, 2003, Army investigators concluded she shot and killed herself with her service rifle," the documents disclose.

Riiiiiiiiiight. To quote Baby Herman: "The whole thing stinks like yesterday's diapers."

Massive thanks to Jesus' General for giving us the 411.

--Weasel, "The truth? You can't handle the truth!"

Today

Today is a special day indeed: it is Dan Gilvezan's birthday.

Dan is a true celebrity in every sense of the word: funny, charming down-to-Earth and a wonderful human being. I am extremely fortunate that I was given the opportunity to meet him twice. He is an example of Hollywood's finest.

Have a wonderful day, Dan. The world's a much better place with you in it.

This Had Better be a Fucking Joke

For the love of God people, please tell me this is a fucking joke.

If it ain't, I'm gonna need morphine for the migraine that will result from this bit of idiocy.

Seriously, wow.

--Weasel, who just broke her brain reading that little "piece".

STFU!

I mean, damn! How fucking stupid do ya gotta be?

Referring to the recent rash of deadly assaults at schools, Mallory said books that promote evil — as she claims the Potter ones do — help foster the kind of culture where school shootings happen. That would not happen if students instead read the Bible, Mallory said.

No, instead we would have daily stonings. Or daily burnings at the stake. Or daily... oh fuck it. You get the idea.

Bitch, please. Your fifteen microseconds of fame are over. Now please dissipate like the fart in the wind you are. You'll be doing the world a favor.

--Weasel, looks like somebody needs a nice, tall glass of "Go fuck yourself, dumbass".

One Last Update

I'll be on vacation for most of the week. When I get back, I'll update.

A quick aside: DA, I wish you could be there, man. I'm really gonna miss you.

--Weasel, needs this vacation bad

Fuck You, American

Seriously, fuck you.

I refuse to fly your airline ever again. I hope you asshats go bankrupt.

--Weasel, "Someone needs to have their ass fired for this bullshit."

Score!

I got a really cool surprise when I checked the mail today: my Mew DS (which I laid claim to most loudly) was sitting with the rest of the mail.

It's in pretty good shape, for a used game system. I just need to bust out my DS starter kit, which is sitting in a layaway, and find the Mew DS top cover (doink, found it, thanks be to Prime for braving a box forest) I ordered from the Pokémon Center and I'll be ready. Ready to wait for the next six months to pass so I can get my hands on Diamond and Pearl...or more accurately, whichever of the two I will actually play, as Prime will get the other.

Things seem pretty quiet on the job front. My transfer is now in motion. I have no idea when everything will be finalized. It may take a bit; I'm one of a large group of associates who are trying to transfer out. No one enjoys their jobs anymore.

We are hemorrhaging associates. We are down 30 cashiers, have fewer people on the sales floor and in ICS, and the management is now trying like hell to hire new people. Not that they'll last. New associates never last more than a few weeks.

Oh well, enough of the downer. I'm going to admire my DS.

--Weasel, thinking of getting a few DS games to help ease the pain of waiting. Trozei, Nintendogs, maybe Magnetica for Prime if he's good...

Steve Would NOT Approve!

Seriously, stop it.

Acting like this will not bring Steve Irwin back. And do you honestly believe he would approve of this behavior? I sincerely doubt it. So, whoever is doing this: knock it off. NOW.

End of Summer

The calendar may still say summer, but I beg to differ. The leaves are beginning to change, the nights are getting cooler, the days are steadily growing shorter.

This sucks.

I really didn't have a chance to enjoy summer and poof, now it's gone. Never got a chance to hit the pool or the lake. Never got a chance to take a nice, long walk in the park. Never got enough free time to do anything I wanted.

On the bright side, I have vacation (and BotCon!) coming up in a couple of weeks. Gods, how I need the time away.

It'll feel damn good to see my friends again, to hang out, shoot the shit, and forget about my lousy job.

BotCon can't come soon enough.

--Weasel, "Nineteen days and counting."

Fuck You, Disney

Seriously. Fuck you.

And a big old go fuck yourself, Scholastic.

Gods, how I wish another studio had gotten the rights to distribute Studio Ghilbi's films here in the states. Then I could completely cut that craphole called Disney out of my life.

--Weasel, "The Ministry of Truth couldn't be prouder."

Fade to Black

"Conserving koala bears is easy. When it comes to conserving the nasties like spiders, snakes and crocodiles, and things that kill you and eat you, it's a different story to get people to value those animals. People say, 'What the hell are you conserving them for?' and he made a strong contribution in making people think a lot more about the values of conserving these animals."

So long, Steve. I'll miss you. You did one helluva job.

Asshats of the Week

"Out of the Frying Pan" Edition

You did your thing, now serve your time.

Troy Gentry is facing jail time for shooting a caged, tamed bear by the name of Cubby. Yes, a tamed, caged bear. Swift one there, Troy. Your actions earn you an all expenses paid trip to Alaska for a bear hunt. There are a few rules for this, you know: no weapons, no gear, no chance in Hell. We'll see how much of a "real" man you are when Cubby's extended family has a fighting chance. Have fun at the Bear Family Reunion.

Don't quit your day job... oh wait, you did.

Good one, Andrew. Instead of helping Wal-Mart, you've given them another dose of public humiliation. You know, you really shouldn't have quit your day job. Wal-Mart could still use your "help". (Maybe a few more bonebrained comments would finally convince the public at large that it is a very bad thing to shop at the Grinning Monster.) Your comments have earned you a mint-scented enema, so your ass will be minty fresh the next time you wanna speak out of it.

I see drunk people... they don't know they're drunk.

I can't find the words to describe this. Under 21, with a DUI. And caught with pot to boot. At least you didn't kill anyone. You've earned a trip to rehab, where you'll see lots of stoned people. And you can't make them go away.

And people wonder why OJ got off.

These two retards caused a car crash which ended in a driver being injured and his passenger suffering brain damage. What do they get? A couple of slaps on the wrist and a "Now don't you good boys do that again." The judge earns brain surgery (to remove his head from his ass) and the two boys earn a training program a la 1993's classic movie, The Program. Hope you dildos like playing chicken with fast moving cars.

Somebody's hungry for an asswhuppin'.

This moron waits until his host is out of the room, removes dinner from the hot pan, and dunks in the hosts kittens. I would say this guy was acting stupid, but it blatantly apparent that this is anything but an act. Idiot boy has earned his dumb ass a cheap, no frills neutering: one lit stick of dynamite and the order to count to ten. (Hey, it's more than obvious that this dipshit couldn't count to ten without the aid of both hands. >:)

That's about all the asshattery I can take for one week. So until next time remember, if you don't want the "honor" of being on this list, don't be an asshat.

CBS = Complete Bull Shit

Film at 11.

An exorcism pilot. Inspired by the life of that fucking Liar Bob Larson. Great CBS. Just go ahead and merge with Fox. You're obviously full of the exact same shit as News Corp.

Dying of Cute Here!

Check out the latest Diamond and Pearl video, which has footage of the starters. Man, this only makes me want the game even more!

I was seriously thinking I would take the Penguin. I even had a nickname picked out for the little guy: Break. The Turtle (or whatever it is) didn't impress me at all (since it's kinda on the fugly side) and I don't do Monkeys. Monkeys are only good for a lowbrow joke that usually involves flinging poop and that's it. Or so I thought.

Not this time.

Damn you, Nintendo. Damn you, Game Freak. You made that Monkey sound so adorable and so cute that I want the blasted thing as my starter! And to top it all off, it's a Fire type. (Sigh...) I'm screwed.

Anyone know a decent name for a Monkey?

--Weasel, "And no, I'm not calling it Optimus Minor!"

The Terror Plot

Let's be honest here; one plot has been foiled. Great. But how many others are in the making? We've "won" this round, but the "war" is far from over.

There were two different attacks on the WTC; one involved a truck bomb, the other involved airliners. If you honestly think that stopping one plot has made us any safer, you're mistaken. The terrorists are just going to keep trying until they succeed.

Summertime Blues

This has not been a good summer.

For the third time in as many months, I'm fighting off another cold. Three weeks ago, I was trying to fight off dehydration and exhaustion (both heat related; I still end up with a few dizzy spells from it all). Prime and I had a pretty bad exchange over the phone last Friday which led to me having a 20 minute crying jag at work. But the absolute worst? On Sunday, July 23, my mother called me and told me one of my aunts had died of cancer. I spent quite a few weekends at her place with her younger daughter while I was a tweenager.

All I want to do right now is scream.

I'm fighting off flashbacks from this past December, the heat (which broke recently, thank Primus!) has gotten both Prime and myself so frazzled that we had been snapping at each other (we don't have central a/c), our finances hit rock bottom last month and my wonderful job has been giving me shit schedules for the past few weeks.... if they even remember to stick me on the schedule, that is.

I want to scream, cry, throw a fit like a two year old until I'm so emotionally emptied out that I can't even stand, let alone walk.

I can't do that, though.

If I start, I may not stop for a very long time.

I hope August is better.

--Weasel, who wants to skip straight to September and BotCon...

The Continuing Crisis in the Middle East

You know, this really isn't anything new. It's the exact same thing, just a different day.

It Keeps Getting Better....

He's still trying to defend himself.

Not just once, but twice.

(Soap box time: It does suck that the poor guy's personal info got posted. Don't stoop to the level of StoptheACLU.org, people. We don't want to end up using the same bullying tactics as our critics, okay? Okay. Now I'll get off the soap box.)

But in some sick, twisted way, I can't help but find this quote funny:

It is often the case that one person ruins the fun of many isn't it?

Not really, dude. I'm still here laughing my ass off. But I am sick and twisted that way.

--Weasel, who can't help but find the whole fiasco really, really funny.

Maximum PWNAG3

Ya gotta feel sorry for this guy.

First, he's suckered by The Onion.* Warning, sensitive readers may be shocked by the image preceding the main article. Just a quick "head's up".

Then he tries to defend himself and fails.

He tries a second vain attempt to defend himself, which just makes him look stupid. (Yeah, blame 'duh libuhrul skoolz'. Seriously, this is like a bad "You Might Be a Redneck" joke. So, how's that fifth grade GED working out for ya, Bubba?)

I'll be the first to admit, I've been suckered a few times. I've had brain farts (some big ones too, I might add), but this just takes the damn cake. I don't think I can add much more to this other than a shitload of derisive laughter.

--Weasel, "Seriously, keep blogging for the pro-lifers. You're a huge credit to their cause."

Hell in a Handbasket

Okay, remember the little problem I had last time I updated?

It's baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!

I have a schedule for next week, but not the week after. My name is not on the board at all. Again. (The only reason I'm working this week is because I jumped through a few dozen hoops to get a head cashier to write me out a schedule.) It's a different co-manager that's running the schedules, but apparently he's just as damned incompetent as the last one.

I'd slam my head into a wall, but hell, what's the damn point anymore?

Slag

Just a quick update. I'm going to be really busy this week, so ten to one, I won't be able to update for a bit. Before I leave on my little absence, I'll share with you how screwed up my job really is:

Remember KB? Well, she had her baby and is now on maternity leave. KB was the one who did all the scheduling. The job went to a co-manager.

He has no fucking idea what the fuck he's doing. So, he lets the computer do all the scheduling.

The schedules are now insanely fucked up. Mine included. I'll have to go into work on Monday in order to fix next week's schedule. (Did I mention I'm not on it... at all?)

And this is a goddamned co-manager. A classic case of how to succeed in business without a fucking brain.

--Weasel, "Sad, ain't it?"

She's Lost It

Then again, she never had it to begin with.

--Weasel, "You go, girl."

Save Screech's House

Seriously, buy a shirt so Screech won't end up homeless.

--Weasel, not a Saved By The Bell fan, but thinks this just plain sucks.

And They Call Themselves "Pro-Life"

Or so they claim.

You are reading that correctly; these pukes are threatening a 15-year-old girl. I'm not surprised. After all, these were some of the shit-eating retards who were more than happy to refer to Chelsea Clinton as a "dog" while her dad was in office. (She was about the same age as Ava.) And remember, these assholes vote:

*It's people like you who need to fucking die and get raped while your corpse rots in the sun.

*Fuck you, I would jack off on your parents if I could. If you don't like the team, get out of the park. That means take ur small dick and get the fuck off of my homeland you faggot chocolate gulper.

*You are a TRAITOR to your country and should be executed for treason. All you do is bitch about the US. If you hate it so much, why don't you GET THE FUCK OUT.

*Are you a muslem [sic] terrorist?

They are more than goddamned happy to threaten a child with death, but these sorry fuckwads scream blue murder if a woman even dares think about having an abortion. "U cant kill ur babby ur teh ebil libuhril if u dooo!!!!11111!!!"

Guess you'd rather wait 'til they left the womb before they are brutally tortured and die, huh? It's true. You fucks really don't care about children at all.

--Weasel, losing even more of her faith in humanity... and there ain't a shitload left

By the way, if you want to see more of Ava's work, just click here. I nearly peed my pants watching this one. It's hilarious. The music is abso-fucking-lutely perfect.

The Bitch is Back!

This bitch, to be exact.

It seems Ms Mallory, or as I've taken to calling her, Daisy Pukes, just won't keep her damn fool mouth shut. She's trying to take her bitchfest to the state. Different day, same stream of bullshit.

Her appeal will continue the debate that began when Mallory filed complaints against each of the six books, writing that they included -- quote -- "evil themes, witchcraft, demonic activity, murder, evil blood sacrifice, spells and teaching children all of this."

Yeah, not like that other book. You know the one. The Bible. There's nothing "evil" in there... (If ya believe that, I got a bridge I can sell ya, real cheap.)

Speaking of bitches, S came back from her vacation yesterday. She's been smiling and chatting and hugging(!) all the other associates, me excluded. Not that I'd want to hug her, mind you. (Suppresses the urge to barf.)

--Weasel, "Damn, I was enjoying all that peace and quiet."

Ick Factor 11, Mr. Sulu!

A couple of days ago I was in the breakroom at work and got into an interesting conversation with some of the associates who have worked in Dairy. It seems one of the older associates who works in that department, "A", has a tendency not to pull his weight, not take criticism well, takes too damn long doing his work, and won't do anything useful unless management is hovering around.

That wasn't the worst of it.

One of the associates sitting at the table, "N", mentioned that A had made a pass at her.

N is 20. A is at least 45 or 50.

If that doesn't make your skin crawl, this will: A is a serial sexual harasser. He's harassed at least 12 people, one of which has filed a lawsuit against our store. (He rubbed himself up against this poor woman.) Management knows about this. They have done absolutely nothing against A; he has yet to be disciplined in any way, shape, or form over his repulsive behavior. The store manager himself admits that A won't stop it. But nothing is done.

A also happens to be a conservative Christian who lives at home with his mom and dad. (Guess the real world was just too big, bright and scary for him to move out.) He's always mentioning the Bible and Jesus and all that crap.... wonder what Jesus would think of his behavior?

--Weasel, feeling the need to take a shower... eeew!

It's Revolution, Baby!

Pokémon Battle Revolution, that is. It's a new Pokémon game coming to the Wii system in 2007. Take a look thanks to YouTube.



Now, there's also going to be an RPG aspect to this game, and I'm hoping it's another foray into Orre (hey, that rhymed). If it is another Orre adventure, I pray to Primus that Nintendo gets its head out of its ass and gives us the option to play as a fricking female! Two Orre adventures and both of them were sausage fests! You weren't given the option to play as a girl! For the love of Primus, Nintendo, please fix that. Give us some more Legendary Shadows to Snag, while you're at it. I would shit kittens if given the chance to Snag and Purify a Mew!

For more details, you can always hit Serebii.net for info and pics.

--Weasel, already saving her pennies to buy a Wii and Battle Revolution

First, Do No Harm

We have another one.

Yep, another pharmacist who won't fill a prescription for birth control. Only this time, he was fired and tried to claim discrimination. The judge sided with the company. Intelligence ruled, for once.

But it may not rule for long.

Yet again, we will have pharmacists who will refuse to do their fucking job, and they will not get penalized for shirking their duties. And again, they'll claim it was on moral grounds.

I just have one question for these idiots: if you're not going to fill a prescription for birth control, why do you numbskulls not have a problem filling other prescriptions? Aren't you fucking around with "God's will" if you give a 97 year old man Viagra? How the hell do you know that "God" wants said 97 year old man to have a boner? What about chemo? If a cancer patient is meant to live, they won't need the drugs, now will they? They can just pray away the tumors!

If you have a problem with fulfilling your duties where you work, you are in the wrong career. Get a new one.

--Weasel, who doesn't have the luxury of refusing to serve asshole customers at her job.

6/6/06

Behold the Anti-Christ!

Well, she did release a book today. But that travesty cannot possibly compare to the slime that she spews from her second asshole (aka her mouth):

"These self-obsessed women seem genuinely unaware that 9-11 was an attack on our nation and acted like as if the terrorist attack only happened to them. They believe the entire country was required to marinate in their exquisite personal agony. Apparently, denouncing bush was part of the closure process."

But wait! There's more!

"These broads are millionaires, lionized on TV and in articles about them, reveling in their status as celebrities and stalked by griefparrazies. I have never seen people enjoying their husband’s death so much."

And people find her attractive. Unbe-fucking-lieveable. It makes me want to projectile vomit.

Other than that little incident, Satan did not show his face anymore throughout the day. Damn, and I was gearing up for the end of the world.....

Speaking of which, S has been on vacation for the past week and a half. It has been a very quiet, very peaceful 10 days. Gods, I hope she never comes back. But there's more.

The Sow is leaving. Her husband got a job somewhere else and she has to leave. Under normal circumstances, I'd be bouncing off the walls with glee. Not this week.

One of our former associates was diagnosed earlier in the month with cancer. Stage IV. Terminal. We got an update three days ago. Doctors only gave him two weeks. Two weeks.

It all came back. In one big rush, it all came back. I've had flashbacks off and on for the past few days; all I can think about is Wavebreaker and that awful morning in December. It's been almost six months and I just want to lay in bed and cry. But I can't.

Heaven knows my company would say that such time would be unexcused.

Weasel's News Round-Up: Volume 2

Late Sunday Edition

All the news that's fit to bitch about!

All right, let's get this road on the show, shall we?

In our first story, Rep. John Murtha believes the massacre in an Iraqi town could hurt the US worse than Abu Ghraib. He's probably right. All I can say is, we have another El Mozote on our hands.

In other news Wal-Mart is trying to trademark the smiley face. I have two words for Wal-Mart: Fuck. You.

File this one under "Mission Accomplished, my ass": Iraqi athletes have been shot for wearing shorts. Yep, great job installing democracy there, Chimpo. High five!

Big Brother is watching you. But, it's for the children! Won't you please think of the children?! Yeah, right. Kiss my ass, Gonzales.

So much for moving to Canada. I guess they're no longer the bastion of tolerance that I had once believed, at least not when it comes to gays. Pity. They've got no one to blame but themselves. I hear Denmark is nice this time of year...

And people believe this rampaging idiot. Yeah, he leg pressed 2,000 lbs. Sure he did. I'll believe him when he testicle-presses 2,500 lbs. Maybe that will shut his hole. And give him a great singing voice.

If you thought your PC sucked balls, then check this shit. Well, I don't see my old Compaq on the list, so I am forced to assume it is incomplete. (Though they are dead on about AOhelL.)

According to Michael Bay, the now infamous script that has most Transformer fans in an uproar is over four months old. Good. Anything that lessens the appearance of a mute Bumblebee is great in my book. (Now if only Bay would come out and say that yes, Bumblebee will talk in the movie....!)

Speaking of my favorite mini-bot, the Transformers Collectors Club newsletter has revealed what Bumblebee will look like in the up-coming Transformers Classics line. All I can say is this: I can't fucking wait until November. I will be buying twelve of him! :)

And that'll wrap things up until next time. Until then, this is your anchor-ferret, the Weasel, signing off.

Okay, Now I'm Pissed...!

Fucking Senate.

At least Feingold has balls. If he campaigns for President, I will vote for him in a second.

--Weasel, "Let's all try for a ban against stupidity. Think that'll pass Congress?"

Random Thoughts Ver 2

This sucks.

I'll be heading to St. Paul, Minnesota tomorrow and what the hell happens? I wake up with a fricking sore throat today. A three day weekend and I'm coming down with something! I would scream, but it would make my throat feel worse. Which brings me to a sore (ha, ha) point: if you, your child or a your loved one is sick, don't freaking shop. The cashiers don't want your damned germs! And for God's sake, don't let your sick child drool on merchandise and then hand the sticky mess to us. It's frigging disgusting. I mean, would you want to write out your check with a saliva-coated pen? Didn't think so.

But enough about that. It's time for:

Weasel's Random Thoughts Ver 2

*According to a recent poll conducted by my local paper, 35% of Northeastern Wisconsin residents have a problem with the NSA looking at their phone records. A whopping 65% do not. To the 65% who don't give a crap about privacy: would it piss you off it was an advertising agency looking at your phone records? What the hell is wrong with you?

*I'm currently reading Dan Brown's The DaVinci Code. It's an interesting read, nothing earth-shattering (most of the historical facts about the Church I already knew) but it's fun. I'm half-tempted to buy a ticket to see the movie just to piss off the Religious Right.

*A local teacher who worked in a Catholic school was recently fired. Why? She conceived a child using in-vitro fertilization, which the Church opposes. Reactions have been mixed; some people support the fired teacher, others siding with the Church. One Church supporter was glad that they stuck with their morals. I'm glad, too. Maybe this will make people realize just how much of a festering pile of excrement this entire situation has become. (I guess the Catholic Church really isn't pro-life after all.)

*The Senate voted to make English our national language. Great idea.... if it applies to our natural-born citizens. God knows, W sure as hell isn't speaking our "national language".

*X-Men 3 comes out on the 26th of this month. I don't know who's more stoked, me or Prime.

*The shit hit the fan recently regarding the up-coming Transformers live action movie. According the Allspark, a guy by the name of Nelsons just let some "insider info" slip. The resulting "revelations" caused on uproar among the fans. Case in point:

Bumblebee is mute because his vocal chords have been damaged in battle.

When I heard that, I near crapped my pants in rage. But there's still more; the fans questioned, Michael Bay answered. I'm hoping for the best.

And that's all for today. Tune in next time when I bitch about more random crap.

--Weasel, already getting sick and tired of the taste of fricking Halls cough drops....

Score One for Intelligence

It seems schoolchildren in Georgia can keep reading Harry Potter. The school board will not remove the books. Thank Primus there are some intelligent people out there.

Unfortunately, little Miss Idiot can't keep her fool trap shut:

"I want to protect children from evil, not fill their minds with it" Mallory said at the hearing. "The 'Harry Potter' books teach children and adults that witchcraft is OK for children."

Please shut the fuck up, lady. You are committing a public display of stupidity. Too bad you cannot be jailed for it.

However, not everyone is so sane.

Yes, you are reading that correctly: censorship of children's books is on the rise. The biggest offender? So-called "occult" or "satanic" themes.

Concerns about perceived occult, satanic and anti-Christian themes drove many incidences of censorship, he said. "That issue is more prominent now than it was 12 years ago," he said. "We seem to be following a lot of American trends."

I don't hear Ms Mallory bemoaning about the anti-Pagan bias that many Wiccans, Pagans and Goddess worshippers have to live with on a daily basis. Oh, no, no, no, no. It's only them good, God fearing christian folk who have to worry about being "oppressed".

Yeah, right. Who's really being oppressed here?

--Weasel, thinking Ms. Mallory needs to cry herself a river, build a damn bridge and get the fuck over it.

Monitor My Calls...

...please.

It seems the government hasn't only been listening in on the private sector. They've been listening to the media. The scary thing?

Under Bush Administration guidelines, it is not considered illegal for the government to keep track of numbers dialed by phone customers.

Guess ol' Bushie-poo's gonna know how many times you called your sweet, grey-haired granny. Let's just hope she doesn't live overseas...

--Weasel, "Whatever happened to 'This phone call could be monitored for customer service...'?"

Awwwww!! How Cuuuuuuuuuuute!!

Took a Poke-quiz. Here's the result:



I didn't know I was that cute!

--Weasel, who can't help but wonder which Autobot she would be.....

Hypocrisy? Or Stupidity?

You decide.

I'm often floored by the complete and utter idiocy of some members of our species; I know they don't mean to act so stupidly (they can't help it, really) but I still can't help but find their behavior... well, insane. Case in point:

A couple of days ago, Prime and I decided to hit the new Best Buy near my place of employment. As we pull into the nearest open parking space, my blood pressure immediately goes up about fifty points. We were parked behind a truck that was obviously owned by a neo-con; the bumper stickers proved it. On the left side of this brain trust's vehicle was a bumper sticker sniping, "It's easy to be 'pro-life' when you're not the one being killed," (the "ll"s in killed were footprints) while on the right side, s/he trumpeted, "Real heroes wear camo. Support our troops."

Um, what?

Why on earth would you dare whimper about the "poor, poor fetuses" when there are living, breathing people dying in an unjust war being waged in a foreign country? Why fight so hard to save something that, at its earliest stage, lacks a fucking spine and brain, while you're hellbent on sending someone's son or daughter to get shot at by a pissed off Sunni or Shiite? What the fuck is wrong with you? How can you even dare to claim to be "pro-life"?

It's brutally apparent that you are not. Or, you're pro-life only at leisure.

--Weasel, who wants a bumper sticker that says, "Pro-war? You can't be pro-life."

And the Nation Rapidly Becomes Stupider...

...and there seems to be no end in sight.

Case in point:
Retarded Southern female wants to ban Harry Potter books in a Georgia elementary school district.

Worse still, the in-bred hick bitch hasn't even read the fucking books.

What could be worse than that? The dumb bitch defends her ignorance! For example:

"I think it would be hypocritical for me to read all the books, honestly. I don't agree with what's in them. I don't have to read an entire pornographic magazine to know it's obscene," Mallory said.

Yeah, and I don't have to talk to you to know that you're a load your mother should have swallowed. Too bad she didn't.

Apparently the stupid bitch thinks that kids'll get into the occult by reading these books. Okay, first off kids are not getting into Satanism because of dear old Harry and second kids cannot cast any "spells" from the books! We've been through this bullshit before. But it never seems to end: there are people who believe this vapid bitch.

“I’m a true example of how Harry Potter books can open your life to witchcraft,” said Jordan Susch.

No, you are not. You are a kid who is screwed-up in the head. You need mental help. Therapy could probably help you. But you won't get any. You're just going to sit on your ass and blame a piece of fiction for all your life's problems instead of getting up off said ass and taking responsibility for yourself.

“We wanted to know if spells, potions and curses worked. By the seventh grade, I was so depressed, I set a date to kill myself,” Susch said.

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiight.

Let's have some fun with that, shall we? Sub in 'math text book" instead of "Harry Potter" and you'd get this:
"We wanted to know if algorithms, theorems and equations worked. By the seventh grade, I was so depressed, I set a date to kill myself," Susch said.

Sounds pretty ridiculous, doesn't it?

But wait, there's more!

Let's try using a science text. We'd get something like this:
"We wanted to know if neutrinos, quarks and isotopes worked. By the seventh grade, I was so depressed, I set a date to kill myself," Susch said.

I could go on, but you get the idea.

But the situation isn't totally hopeless, there are a few intelligent people out there, thank Primus.

We also give kids a little credit in knowing the difference between fact and fiction. We find it interesting that while she's wild about Harry, she suggests replacing the Potter books with the "Left Behind" series. Her appeal form doesn't indicate whether she's read those publications. But for those not familiar with the Tim LaHaye books, imagine this, taken from the "Left Behind" Web site: "Passengers aboard a Boeing 747 en route to Europe disappear. Instantly. Nothing remains except their rumpled piles of clothes. Vehicles, suddenly unmanned, careen out of control. People are terror-stricken as loved ones vanish before their eyes. For those left behind, the apocalypse has just begun." Frightening stuff. Give us a good-ole Bat Boggey Curse any day.

Breaking the Girl

(My apologies to the Red Hot Chili Peppers.)

Yes, it's been a while since I've posted. It's not for lack of interest, I just haven't had the time or the energy. I'm still dealing with the move (good Gods, we have a bunch of crap!) and my work schedule has made it extremely difficult for me to try and update.

Put it this way: I spend about 10 hours at work a day (at least an hour of which before I'm even scheduled to start), only to go home and start all over again. I literally have no time to relax or unwind. Worse still, my days off are split; I don't have two days off in a row. Needless to say, I am so bone tired that I do not have the fortitude to even roll out of bed in the morning. And I have no idea how much longer this will be going on. My blog is suffering, I'm suffering; to put it nicely, life fucking sucks for me right now.

But, enough whining from me. Here's my chuckle for the week (file it under "P" for pwned!): Ann Coulter is officially an "it" by her own non-admission. Normally, I wouldn't even care about something like this.... but this is Ann Coulter. The "woman" with an Adam's Apple. I don't know about you, but this is just too damned funny. Once you get over the initial shock and stop vomiting, it's hilarious.

--Weasel, "That 'woman' ain't right..."

Random Thoughts Ver 1

I'll make this brief, mostly because I have to: yes, I am still alive and kicking. I have been extremely busy thanks to the move. Prime and I are still going through boxes, setting things up, what have you. It's been tedious and very time-consuming. Factor in the difficulties at work, like the consistently shitty scheduling I've been getting (which has put a huge cramp in my efforts get transferred out of that hellhole) and I barely have time to do much of anything. But enough bitching. For your reading pleasure, I present a few

Random Thoughts

*Cats hate moving. Cats also hate rides in the car. My cat, Sammy, made both of these points very clear on his trip to the new house. It took a few hours to regain my hearing after we got him here.

*Head honcho S is a bigger bitch than I had imagined. She proceeded to yell at one of my fellow cashiers for not bagging for a customer. This cashier was on self-check; we are not allowed to touch a customer's order unless they ask us. Way to go, S, you shrewish bitch.

*The hellhole has a sudden lack of cashiers nowadays. The reason? The newbies got pissed and quit.

*File this under "Open Mouth, Insert Hoof": we had a lost kid at the front lanes about a week ago. He looked to be about three or four years old and was about five seconds away from screaming his head off, until he spotted the candy rack. He grabbed a lollipop and started eating it. Normally, this would irritate me, but it helped to keep the kid from panicking until one of his older brothers found him. The Sow saw what was going on. Her only response? "He didn't pay for that piece of candy." (In the kid's defense, his parents paid for it later.) One of the cashiers who overheard the Sow's snarky little comment said she wanted to "slap the hell" out of old Piggy.

*The Piglets have dwindled in numbers. Because of the Sow's wonderful "personality", a lot of her defenders want nothing to do with her. I can hardly blame them.

*Prime and I have now have broadband. What in Primus' name did we do without it?

*According to rumors, Weird Al is working on a new album. I can hardly wait. :)

*Dairycon, our little Wisconsin Transformers get together, is next Saturday. Hope it'll tide me over until BotCon.

*On April 22nd, Cartoon Network will remove Transformers:Cybertron from its Toonami line-up. Just another reason to shit-can CN.

*Pokemon Journey Across America will hit near my area twice: May 20th in St. Paul, Minnesota and Chicago, Illinois the 27th. I hope to make it there.

*According to Headline News, the Dragon Skin body armor that soldiers have been buying to protect themselves is "inferior". The stuff the government is handing out is the "better quality" armor. So much for the liberal media.

Well, that's all the time I have today. If I'm lucky, I'll post again in another week or so.
