Good Morning CGs!
How is everyone feeling this morning? Hopefully everyone is over their little colds and flus and whatnot. So here's why I'm irritated. And it's gasoline, of course. The price has been steadily increasing over the past two weeks. It was 1.59 about 2½ weeks ago, now I saw it for 2.09 yesterday. WTF? I looked and oil was *down* five dollars a barrel yesterday. Sure it's been rising a little steaduly, but not that much. Irritating. Games. When I was driving around over the weekend gas by my house (which is usually cheapest) was 1.89, but I drove about 6 miles away and it was 1.69. That's not due to differences in rent and whatnot. BS. It's stations being greedy. They can use the gaza strip and whatever crap they want as an excuse, but it's getting old. Glad it's not $4 a gallon anymore (yet) but they're just toying with us now because they know that people are just excited gas isn't twice it's current price so they're happy to get it. OK, rant over. What's new with everyone else? Hope everyone has a great day! Matthew THURSDAY JOKE OF THE DAY: Government Job A guy goes to the U.S. Post Office to apply for a job. The interviewer asks him, "Have you been in the service?" "Yes," he says. "I was in Vietnam for three years." The interviewer says, "That will give you extra points toward employment." Then he asks, "Are you disabled in any way?" The guy says, "Yes. A mortar round exploded near me and blew my testicles off." The interviewer tells the guy he's hired, then informs him, "The hours are from 8 A.M. to 4 P.M. You can start tomorrow. Come in at 10 A.M." The guy is puzzled and says, "If the hours are from 8 A.M. to 4 P.M. then why do you want me to come in at 10 A.M.?" "This is a government job" the interviewer says. "For the first two hours we stand around scratching our balls... no point in you coming in for that." |

I know what you mean about the gas, it pisses me off too. It's just a big f'n game.
Funny joke, reminds me of this one. Q: Why do women rub their eyes when they wake up in the morning? A: Because they don't have balls to scratch. Since genitalia seems to be the theme this morning.... I can't remember if I've posted this one before, but if I have, tough shit! My internist referred me to a female urologist. I saw her yesterday and she is gorgeous. She's beautiful and unbelievably sexy. She told me that I have to stop masturbating. When I asked her why, she said....... "Because I'm trying to examine you..." |

Har!
I was just out having a smoke, when a couple of guys who ride bicycles to work every day arrived. I am fairly certain that I won't live long enough to understand the attraction of riding a bike when it is -5. Meanwhile... "Michael, If you were on a date, having dinner with a nice young lady, how would you tell her that you have to go to the rest room?" the teacher asked. "Just a minute, I have to go pee," he said. The teacher replied,"That would be rude and impolite. What about you, Paul, how would you say it?" "I am sorry, but I really need to go to the bathroom, I'll be right back," Paul replied. The teacher responded, "That's better, but it's still not very mannerly to say the word 'bathroom' at the table." "And you Johnny, are you able to use your intelligence for once and show us your good manners?" Little Johnny said, "I would say: Darling, may I please be excused for a moment, I have to shake hands with a very dear friend of mine, whom I hope you'll get to meet after dinner." The teacher fainted. |

Lime green, eh? I dunno... There's some pretty cool Kawasaki sportbikes out there, kinda that color. But maybe that's just me...
Anyway; Good Morning Gurus! I'm back in the basement. Continuing the cleanup after Monday's re-wire of my edit bay. Hopefully I can get the layout of my office finalized today. I've got a friend coming over to have me produce a demo of his music today. Should be fun. I hope ya'll have a super day. |
