The 2009 Rant, Vent, and Share thread
Hahahaa…
The "Bush sucks" thing is less regurgitated unthinking statement and more a nice concentrated shorthand for the whole situation, without enumerating all those negative incidences, you know?
When a thinking person says "Bush sucks" they mean:
- Holding back progress of efforts to prevent man made climate change.
- Actively hindering the progress of stem cell research.
- The disastrous war in Afghanistan.
- The invasion of Iraq and its aftermath.
- The extremely slow response to the tragedy after hurricane Katrina.
- Efforts to undermine the Geneva convention.
- The torture of POWs, and the activities at the Guantanamo detention centre.
- The current economic woes- they began in the last year of his regime.
So… for most people it's easier to shorten all that. it's not so much personal either, it's just easier to point to the tool at the top, you know? Like you say the "Victorian era", or "that's so Victorian!" as if Queen Victoria was responsible for everything at the time… It's just an easy way to convey meaning and context without being long-winded like this. lol!

Anyway, Whatever. I finished my Hussar Barrel Sash now! Whew it was tricky work but it looks cool! I just have to wait to get the jackets to go with it.
it turned out to be the owner of rampage network! :P And now i get free hosting!
I've heard some less than great things about that guy. It's one of those fanatical "I am absolutely right" "no *I* am absolutely right" situations though, so I dunno. Anyway if you are curious you should try to get hold of hpkomic.
Today is yardwork and house cleaning day, but it looks like it may rain. I guess I had better get out there and start working.
I just stopped giving a shit after the 487th time you told me that the armor on an M-1 Abrams causes cancer and three-armed babies.
Unless the person in question has at least three stripes on their collar and is armor, or is a captain and branched armor or is a noted armor expert who has worked at Aberdeen and/or Fort Knox and written at least two Osprey Vanguard, Concord, Presidio or Squadron/signal titles; they are NOT to be trusted for ANY information about any US Army armored vehicle. A choice between Jane Doe reporterette or Steven Zaloga; take Steven Zaloga. In a choice between a congressman and an M1 Master Gunner, take the master gunner.
That's my rant. I am sick and tired of Joe Dirt the rag-bag uber geek who doesn't know what "TIS" stands for or thinks a Bradley is a tank getting up there and BSing about depleted uranium armor. Guess what? It's a damn sandwich! There's the uranium, there's steel, there's ceramic, all composited together. AN X-ray technition gets more exposure to radiation.
Oh and don't eat the spent casings, just like you don't eat paint chips! Parents teach your kids not to drink raw sewage or play with battlefield debris because you don't know where it's been or that it could blow up in your face!
At least French farmers plowing up live mustard gas shells from WWI have the excuse of farming 90 years after the event, not playing in a minefield among freshly burned out tanks.
But guess what? Similar points were made sixty years ago in Congressional hearings about the Sherman tank's performance versus German tanks in World War II! The more things change, the more they stay the same.
Uh-oh, so my site looks totally empty. I guess something went wrong in the transfer -_- It'll be a huge pain if I have to reupload all those comics again though, i hope he can fix it.
EDIT: Jesus christ that was fast! 0___o I sent that email two minutes ago! This guy is fucking awesome!
Hahahaa…Well, perhaps; but then there's the insinuation that there is anyone alive on the face of the planet that doesn't take the statement of "Bush sucks" as an unassailable fact or a universal truism- something you just take as a given, like "the sky is blue" or "the earth is round". ;)

Uh-oh. I'd better shut my filthy, liberal mouth before I start up conversations best left to the D & D forum, eh?
i bought a car! insurance paid out. not as much as the repair shop said, but it'd be wishful thinking to think i'd be getting that much. carfax reports no problems, and luckily, with bmw's most people take them to bmw shops, and bmw shops report every oil change/inspection. so i see all the records, almost. i'm pretty sure that if anything major happened, and the person knew about the bmw thing, they'd take it elsewhere. but it drives great. also what's even better is that the term is shorter, and the payments are still cheaper than my last car. also, everything is the same price as far as insurance goes. and this time i'll check it once a month.
been away for awhile, cause i put the computer in the living room, so we could watch Doctor Who. apparently netflix doesnt have Season(series)4 on instant streaming. so i just…..obtained it…..and watch them on my tv. i also found the entire collection of the 7th doctor at best buy. i'm debating on getting it.
car!
Wait til that thing hits 100,000 miles though. -_- We've owned a couple BMW's in my family over the last several years, and as soon as they hit that number something expensive always broke. Though I've been told they're supposed to be pretty good so maybe we just had crap luck.
As for the tank and Bush thing, I laughed my ass off the first couple times, but I just have a short fuse for people who complain without actively taking action or who don't think about things before reporting them and it gets old real quick. I mean, we wouldn't call it depleted if it still had enough juice in it to give your kids extra arms. And I could care less what president a person supports, especially if they just voice an opinion without evidence or experience to back it up. I've been famous for demanding a link to an article or a newspaper page with the information on it. Yesterday was just a bad day for me, because someone decided that it would be funny to take the mock protest and paint a bunch of signs with slogans like "impeach Bush" and "Burn a Bush, Save a world". It was a humorous idea to be protesting about something like that kittens are cute or demanding giraffe neck regulation, but then it got political.
In the office building I work at, there's alot of stupid "earth hour" posters.
In some of them, I wrote things like:
"global warming = scam"
"Al Gore invented global warming and the internet"
"global warming = pseudoscience"
"global warming = hoax"
well you get the idea.
The next day, the posters that I wrote on were taken down. lol!
we wouldn't call it depleted if it still had enough juice in it to give your kids extra arms.Well, yes and no… The name is sort of used as a brand name in a way, in that it doesn't tell you what it really is, it just gives you an impression. :)
The truth is that it's impossible to get uranium with no radioactive content. What DU is, is the useless by-product of the nuclear industry. But a way to make extra cash out of that waste product is to sell it for various purposes… Counterweights, tank penetrators, armour against those penetrators… etc.
But as armour, it keeps people alive. increasing battlefield safety. Troops have more to worry about the all DU ammunition scattered about the landscape.
But it's not necessarily essential in tank armour… The Australian bought Abrams don't have DU armour, mainly because the foes they might face probably won't be using DU weapons.
Well, yes and no… The name is sort of used as a brand name in a way, in that it doesn't tell you what it really is, it just gives you an impression. :)
Good point. I just meant that we probably wouldn't be using it if it were that horribly radioactive. But it's not really important.

So I got this commission to paint the walls at the local farmers market where my parents live a couple months ago. So I've been working on it in my spare time since they said it wasn't a huge rush to get it done. Well, recently they decided to get a mascot. That's fine by me since it make painting the walls easier since I can fill up at least one wall with this mascot. But it means that designing a actual brand mascot for them has been added to my workload which is already being done for charity ( Hence me only using my spare time. ). They tell me though that they have some reference for me to use at their office, so it shouldn't be too much extra work. So I head down to take a look at what they want and just as I go through the door, I get head-butted in the crotch by a little black lamb that seems to think it's a dog. Guess what my reference is?
Man, baby black lambs are the cutest. I wouldn't care if it headbutted me all day, I'd still go all girly-coo over its gangly legs and dumb face :kitty:
Man, I hate when I find a really awesome comic, I read all of it, then find that it hasn't updated in over a year. I HATE IT. Why can't there be more Pug Davis?! WHY
Ack! I just spent three hours trying to get rid of something called "Spyware Protect 2009" – some kind of nasty malware thing ("ransomware" was the word one place used). My searches for how to fix it kept dead-ending at downloads for spyware removal trial versions that find but don't remove spyware. Eventually I found instructions to remove the thing manually. Sheesh…
Luckily, it only hijacked my internet explorer, so I could use Firefox to find the solution.
If anyone else gets this nasty bug, here are the instructions for removal. (Don't download the "removal program." It's a trial version that doesn't remove anything.)
i'm not used to the power in a car. i'm freaking out. cause i touch the pedal and the car goes. i'm used to 4 cylinder cars. (minus the rabbit, but that was automatic). my saturn that i had for 5 years well, i was pedal to the metal, and went from 0-60 in 13 seconds. this is significantly less. and it's awesome.
in other news, at least it doesnt cost me 50$ to write my brother in prison. i think that's a crock, and stupid. i under stand that the state has to make money, but why not bring back chain gangs? make them do state work for their phone calls? no work? no correspondance. rather than charge the family members, charge the prisoners.
also i'm debating on whether to get a stopwatch/heart monitor. it's not that expensive, i just dont know if i want it for my work outs, or if i just think it's really cool.
and that's how i've judged my recent buys. do i need it? or do i think it's just really awesome. (it was both for the bmw, but i still forced myself to stay inside the range of what was owed on the rabbit, so that i didnt over stretch myself)
1. only have negative thoughts for 30-40 seconds, then imagine good things that could happen and kittensThis is seriously working for me, i feel fantastic lately!
2. in my brain chant 'i am a happy and social person' until it comes true or i go insane
3. do yoga and shit, so i can get more oxygen which makes you feel better
And that is mah brilliant plan B^U
I have motivation to do things and i no longer feel like the world is horrible and droll and i should move to africa and buy a farm :D
I spent more time screwing around chasing a loose barn yard animal than I did working today. And it was totally worth it. I haven't had a decent excuse to do something utterly silly and stupid in a while now.
Plus, it helps that both myself and my assistant on this project had been drinking while we did the prep work for this stuff so it became like a 3 stooges skit. I love being off the clock. :)
