The Good Ole Days
Take the time to click on these pics and read the ads. Times have really changed. Some are funny. Some are kind of disturbing. The sweater ad I liked. The Zonite ad is cruel. The Lysol ad grossed me out. Lysol started out as a cleanser for feminine hygene?!
TGIF!!
This is for my wife who has pointed out that I got nothing accomplished on my recent week off from work . . .
. . . the simplest thoughts can also be genius.
This is what happens when you tell the judge at the Westminster Dog Show that he's going to be replaced . . . BEFORE he picks out the winner.
Happiness is . . .
Tea Time 101 at the OCD Academy
I KNEW there was scientific validity behind my proccupation with breasts, especially large breasts. Now I don't feel like such a perv.
The General was a notoriously boring speaker

Veteran's Day
Today is the day we, as a nation, show our appreciation to those who have served their country in the armed forces, and especially those who have served in combat. Their sacrifices (from subsisting on minimal pay and being away from loved ones for extended periods, to the ultimate sacrifice of giving their lives for our country) have kept this great nation, and much of the world, free from tyranny and oppression.
As Edmund Burke said, "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."
That lack of action is what allows men like Adolf Hitler, Josef Stalin, Idi Amin, Saddam Hussein, and Kim Jong Il to flourish. That lack of action is what allows atrocities like Cambodia, Rwanda, and Sudan to kill millions. That lack of action is what allows crime to be so prevailant on our streets. By doing nothing to prevent these things, you give your permission for them to happen.
So thank a soldier or veteran today, because that's someone who has decided to make a difference by serving their country. That's especially true for those who've served in the last 10 years, and knew that they were most likely going to be sent to a combat zone and put in harm's way.
