How many like Sarcasm?  I revel in it!  I love it!  Yes, I am a sarcastic SOB!  I am very sarcastic.  Sarcasm is a way of making a point when you are dealing with a bunch of 'feeling' people instead of thinking ones.  So I use it daily (I work for a 'Feeling' Agency anyway). The latest example is a co-worker.  One of those "feeling" people who said he was only working there because he thought he could do some good (yet he sweated when his contractor job ...

Did the title perplex you or make you go "OMG!  I have not heard that in a bazillion years!".  Yea it is an old saying from when I was young.  It means that we hooked a live one and are playing with it. But this is about Fly Fishing!  While not my favorite type of fishing, it holds tons of enjoyment.  Why? How many of you are fly fishers?  Do you know what that means?  You take some string (I guess you can take a fly, but I have never actually gotten one ...

Ok, they have not.  But a question.  Mostly for those who are quick to condemn Israel. If Cuba did, what should be our response?  Seriously.  This is open to all nationalities.  What should America do?  Should we ignore them?  Even tho a few dozen people die? Or should we retaliate?  And if so what should the retaliation be? If A country (and Cuba is just the scapegoat as it is the closest and whackiest) decides to light up our sky with death.&nbs...

You're So Vain - Sung by Carly Simon You walked into the party like you were walking onto a yacht Your hat strategically dipped below one eye Your scarf it was apricot You had one eye in the mirror as you watched yourself gavotte And all the girls dreamed that they'd be your partner They'd be your partner, and.... You're so vain, you probably think this song is about you You're so vain, I'll bet you think this song is about you Don't you? Don't you? ...

Really.  What do you do with one.  They leech onto you and when you pick them off and throw them aside, they come back.  Like a leech.  You try to ignore them.  But then just pucker up and suck up to you again.  Not really caring about what you say, just leeching off you for their own pleasure. Do you pick them off and squash them?  Have you ever tried to really squash a leech? (I have not!  I hear they pop when you do). So you just ignore them? ...

The heat is on, on the street Inside your head, on every beat And the beat's so loud, deep inside The pressure's high, just to stay alive 'Cause the heat is on Oh-wo-ho, oh-wo-ho Caught up in the action I've been looking out for you Oh-wo-ho, oh-wo-ho (Tell me can you feel it) (Tell me can you feel it) (Tell me can you feel it) The heat is on, the heat is on, the heat is on the heat is on Oh it's on the street, the heat is - on. --Glenn Frey (not to be confused with Amber Fre...

Thanks to Trudy for bringing up this rant ( http://trudygolightly.joeuser.com/index.asp?aid=124114  ) Back in the early 90s, Congress Passed and Clinton signed a law that taxes telephones.  It was called the Universal Access Tax, and it was designed to fund education.  How? It was designed to fund schools and libraries in getting connected to the Internet.  And to the tune of about $2.5+ billion a year, it started collecting the dough and pumping out money.  And 12...

Sitting at Count Dracula's abode draining for the good of my fellow man (and woman), I got To thinking (not much else to do in the process): There are 2 questions on the questionaire that are for women, and one for men.  And they have a check box that says "I am Male" or "I am Female" if they do not apply to you.  What do transgender people do? There is a question that your blood may be used to test for West Nile Virus (note not WILL be, but MAY be).  If you refuse to parti...

Our beloved idiot of a governor, who refuses to acknowledge one of his predecessors, has opined that "It is all a faycade".  Whoops!  Sorry, wrong idiocy. No, our Illuminati of ignorance.  Our king of idiocy.  Our beloved lover of broken promises lies and stupidity has endorsed another 25 years of segregation in the US by endorsing the latest Voting Rights Act Extension.  His illustrious idiotness has stated: "Unfortunately, the Voting Rights Act is as necessary ...

Recently, I bought my son an iPod for helping me in the yard.  He earned it!  but when it came, it would not work!  No matter what we tried, it would not work.  I spent an hour on the phone with their tech support - no luck.  They told me to return it to the Apple store. Well, I am not a technoneophyte.  So it was not like I was a rube about it.  I know how to follow instructions and the tech lady was very polite.  So after work (I am working half days ...

Yep!  for the past 5 days (today being one we did not have to), my son and I mulched the back 40.  It looks really nice now (we bordered it before hand - which the previous owners never did and why the mulch was always ending up in the grass part of the yard).  But all total, I estimate we picked up and spread over 12 cubic yards of the stuff.  For those slow on the calc button, a cubic yard is 27 cubic feet.  If you buy your mulch from Home Depot, you get about 2-3 cubi...

For almost the last 50 years, Virginia has been home to Bridge-Tunnels.  So many in fact that you almost cannot get out of Norfolk without going through one.  There is the Hampton Roads Bridge-Tunnel, The Portsmouth Bridge Tunnel, the Monitor and Merrimac (the newest) Bridge Tunnel, and the crowning glory - the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel.  In all that time, there have been plenty of accidents.  Fools are found on every road, and some fatalities have resulted.  But thes...

I heard a talk show host talking about the World Cup.  And he was yuck yucking about The French and the Head Butting Episode.  But then he said something that made me stop and consider. He said the French were the most liberal society out there! Discounting Communism (which is just a despotic dictatorship anyway), he is right. During 04, Kerry was called the "French Candidate".  Mostly for his snobbish ways.  But it stuck.  Then we had Dean that decides that all wh...

We have a local talking head here in this city.  Needless to say, I have less than no respect for him after he decided to play Hitler speeches when Pope Benedict XVI was elevated and attributed those speeches to the newest pope.  I sent him a respectful, albeit very pointed email detailing my objection to his "joke".  He never responded.  Cowards never do. Now his latest is to BBQ the local rag.  Hey!  This rag has enough faults as it is!  You could walk to ...
