Slapped

Wow, I cannot believe my weekend has arrived already.  Seems like only yesterday I went back to work... for a day, and here I am with another 2 days off.  In two weeks, I'm taking more than just a mini vacation, more than just 3 days in a row.  I've taken myself off of the schedule for a full 5 consecutive days.  This semi-retirement thing seems to be working out quite nicely.

And I saw this about the Kardashisluts this morning and thought Bob might find it amusing, I know I did.  It seems like the Kardashisluts are being sued by a former Kardashislut who claims they ruined her career (or something like that).  Jury selection for the trial began yesterday and potential juror, after potential juror, spewed the ugly truth about them.  Evidently many, many people are biased against these whores, and they had to sit in the courtroom and listen to people calling them trash.  Of coure, being publicly slapped by the little people will change nothing. I had a good, hearty laugh out of it.

Something that's been flitting across my brain for the past week or so concerns the Russian invasion of the Ukraine.  Not the fact that it's killing thousands of innocent people, which it is, rather it's the realization that the longer the invasion drags on, the more incompetent it makes Putin look as a leader.  This is especially true when you understand he believed this was only going to take a few days.  The longer this war continues, the more a loser he looks like.  Should he resort to weapons of mass destruction, he will be defined as the ultimate loser.  The world will both hate him, and mock him, as the ultimate failure.  The world will see him as nothing more than a tiny man with a Napoleon Complex desperate to prove he's as tall as... well... as Xi.

Finally, I got another big hoot this morning when I saw that Marjorie Taylor Greene is spitting bullets because the lawsuit to take her off the ballot is proceeding.  I do not doubt for a second that reality is going to slap this bitch multiple times, not that she will ever learn anything.  To do that, she would have to realize she's nothing more than a shit stain of a human being.

Coming Soon

Thursday is a big day.  I'm having some new windows installed - getting rid of a couple of the 111 year old ones and replacing them with some Andersen's.  Thursday is also the day my new Xbox One Slim arrives.  I'm getting the Gears of War Super Bundle.  The console will not only be used for gaming, but also for playing Blue Rays... on my new Sony 55" UHD Smart TV, which, unfortunately, will not be arriving on Thursday, rather it will make it's appearance in my living room on Saturday, between 9 - 12.
One final note on the Samsung fiasco, an email in which the writer admits, for the most part, that they were acting like scumbags.

Thank you for contacting Samsung. With reference to your email, I understand that the TV that you have purchased from Amazon has been damaged and was asked to pay the expenses to get the TV repaired. I can completely understand. If that happened to me I'd be really upset too. I can imagine how frustrating that must be. I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused. Since it has been broken during shipping you need to contact the stores or shipment team to get the TV replaced

What Fun!

I'm glad I'm not the only who that the Kardashian robbery was an 'inside job.'  I suspect the ratings on their reality show are dropping, and Jenner's audience woke up and realized he's, well, not quite a she.  They needed something to keep their line of Kardasapedes from running away.
And as for Trump - he seems to be going down and taking the Republican Party with him.  I can guarantee his comments about returning Vets who are experiencing PTSD "can't handle it," is not flying well with America's Veterans.  If you've ever been in a war zone and I have, I can tell you it will always stick with you, in the back of your mind.  Handling it has nothing to do with it... but than this is coming from a guy claimed an almost $1 Billion Dollar Loss on his Income Tax.

Boatie fails / Caitlyn horrifies

I was saddened to hear that Boatie McBoatface lost out.  That's right.  The UK's new polar research vessel is going to be called the Sir David Attenborough.  Sure, that's a more dignified name, but it lacks a little in the 'pizzaz' department, don't you think?  Sometimes dignity fails to garner interest and I have no doubt that soon the public will care less where the Sir David Attenborough is and what it is doing.  They're not even going to know if it's in port or not.  Boatie McBoatface, on the other hand, would have generated vast amounts of public awareness.  Educators could have used the name as a tool.  You know what I mean, like, what is polar research?  And, why are they exploring the ice cap?  Every one would know when Boatie docked at your local wharf.  The Sir David Attenborough?  Most likely not.  Sometimes this is what happens when stuffed shirts make a decision.

Good name

On the other hand, I was horrified to hear that Caitlyn Jenner is going to pose nude for some magazine.  Holy Shit!  Who in their right minds would want to see a 65 year old individual who's undergone extensive reconstructive facial surgery naked?  Breast implants are neither erotic nor artistic.  Let's talk Photoshop here.  And I do suspect there are enough deviant, prurient minds out there to insure financial success for the magazine.  And, of course, it is all about the money.

When I thought of Caitlyn naked, I thought of this

Talk about taking a page out of the Kardashian playbook.  One can only wonder if Cait's also going to balance a champagne flue on her ass.

Trampling North Carolina

I see where North Carolina has passed some hate law designed to specifically keep transgender individuals out of restrooms entirely, at least that's what those wacky Republicans say.  In reality, they have proven Einstein wrong and transported the state back in time, circa 1956 (or there abouts).  What most people don't understand, however, the real purpose of this law is not to eliminate LGBT rights in the state.  No, that would only be regionalized hate; they want to fry much bigger fish.  You can bet they spent long hours working on the wording to insure some more progressive judge in the state will declare it unconstitutional.  And they would counter, of course, because their real purpose is to take this to the Supreme Court.  Tit for Tat, you know?  The Court said yeah to marriage equality so North Carolina wants a national referendum to take away other rights, which is why the Republicans are saying nay to any Supreme Court nomination Obama puts forth.  Of course, those dumb shits are going to lose.

Because their time machine doesn't really work.  Einstein was right.  Time travel is impossible.  Their presidential candidates went to the Dumb and Dumber school of politics.  Right now two of them are in a pissing match about their wives - and they're doing this publicly.  The only thing missing is one of the Kardashians... oh, wait, Bruce.. no, no, that's wrong, I mean Cait, is joining forces with Ted.  Or maybe he'll end up siding with Trump, since that guy really knows how to treat a woman.

Anyway, this North Carolina law is nothing but horseshit and those North Carolina lawmakers know it.  They're just trying to get a little smack back before they're totally trampled under foot.

Inventory, Kim, Trump & Nancy... and PC version

Well, we're in the middle of inventory season.  I hate it. My schedule is shot to hell.  Lots of very late nights culminating in next Monday & Tuesday, they will be bad.  I'm in the store for 11 hours on Monday and then back in the store 5 hours later for another 11 hours.  So, how pleasant am I going to be?
There was amusement this past week:
Kim Kardashian posted some nude selfies and while a lot of people looked many, many criticized.  And she got mad.  They pretty much called her a slut...  She is totally clueless.  She doesn't understand that she's turned herself into nothing more then a piece of meat, and more like chipped beef rather then sirloin.  She doesn't realize she really is about as interesting as chipped beef on toast.
Trump had to cancel a rally because all of his little Trumplodites were getting way out of hand; they wanted to riot in Chicago.  This is really funny because for years and years and years Republican pundits, while not advocating violence, have been force feeding hatred down the throats of their base.  Every time Breitbart, or Limbaugh, or Coulter, or Ingram, or even that horses's ass Palin opened their mouths they spewed hatred towards anything not not meeting their standards of conservatism.  They've been shitting in their pants for years and now the stink has finally caught up with them.
And Nancy Reagan died.  Oh, well.  I feel bad for her kids, I'm sure they loved her dearly.  Unfortunately her husband was deified by the GOP because of his landslide victory, and they did so without ever analyzing that victory.  They ignored the fact that his approval rating soared to 97% when he survived an assassination attempt.  And they ignored the fact that nothing went wrong during his first term in office.  He didn't really unify the country.  Lots of people voted for the old fart because they liked him and nothing had gone wrong.  His wife, however, relied upon Mediums to set his schedule and flip-flop of stem cell research when her dear Ronnie was diagnosed with Alzheimer's.

And finally, I did buy and PC version of Fallout 4 so I can mod it.  It was actually cheaper then buy then buying the download version by about $30.  I'm going to give my Xbox One version to a guy I work with who's wanted to buy it but hasn't been able to afford it.  I'm never going to use it again.

Putin on ice

Some times I look at the things making the news and I think, whoa, that's not newsworthy at all, like things about the Kardashians, and things about Putin.  Both he and they seem to be totally focused on self promotion.  Like this clip of Putin scoring eight goals.  I laughed at it.  The only thing that would have made it funnier would have been if he'd stripped off his jersey and flashed us one of his famous nipple shots while simultaneously hitting the puck into the goal.  I'm sure if he knew Kim Kardashian could score eight goals with a champagne flute balanced on her ass he'd try that, too.

Of course, maybe his pucking around is considered more newsworthy than the fact that another one of their rockets has crashed.  I'm not counting, but isn't that like 2 in 3 weeks?

On the serious side, I really did enjoy the trailer for Dwayne Johnson's new movie which played before Putin on Ice.  You see, I really do like a good disaster film.  If it makes a lot of money perhaps, and this is a really, really big 'perhaps,' but maybe if "San Andreas" is a hit, Dwayne could help out with Russian economy  since I've heard it's not doing too well.

Kim Kardashian - Pop Slut

I did want to comment on this picture I'd seen recently on Towleroad with Kim Kardashian (I suppose her last name is spelled correctly) and Larry Kramer.  There were a number of negative comments because, well let's face it, she isn't exactly know for her AIDS activism.  In fact, as far as I can tell, the only thing she's really known for is her own self promotion.  Looking at this picture, the first thing I noticed is that neither of them is looking at the person taking the picture.  No doubt they are looking at a photographer to their left.  In fact the person taking this picture seems to be more interested in zooming in on her tits.  Larry Kramer may be in the front but it's the cleavage that's centered.  How this particular picture made it to Towleroad is beyond me.  Indeed, why she was even at the event gives one reason to pause.  Maybe she was supposed to be the scheduled entertainment.  We all know she can balance a champagne flute on her ass, maybe she does that stunt publicly.

Wouldn't that have been something to see live?

I don't understand this fascination some people have with this Pop Slut, I mean let's face it, that's all she is.  She can't act.  She can't sing.  I do believe she was exposed in a sex tape at one time.  Now, isn't that something to add to your resume?  Still, when I went out looking for a watchband last week I saw that she actually has product endorsements.  Who in their right mind would buy something endorsed by Kim Kardashian?  Why would you want to spend good money on something that's guaranteed to be cheap?
