I wish we were using the Euro.

I found this site the other day... Sexual Synonyms. The best part are the submissions by the public.
Here is an example of what the site had in mind:
THE CORRECT TERM: vagina
SLANG SYNONYM(S): fish taco

Here are my favorites because they are a little different:
THE CORRECT TERM: I am having coitus with your wife and don't want to come to work.
SLANG SYNONYM(S): I am too sick to work, can you cover for me?

THE CORRECT TERM: He is a homosexual.
SLANG SYNONYM(S): He is so sensitive.

THE CORRECT TERM: I want to date a man who is homosexual.
SLANG SYNONYM(S): I want a man who understands my feelings.

I spent the day downloading Mr Show episodes. I have 14 episodes so far and I may be able to get another 4 or 5 over the next few days.

Good Night, Good Morning, whatever.

This is sort of embarrassing. I've been doing this for a while now, almost 3 years. Off and on I've been curious about how people got to my site. At different times I've used different tracking services but I would always get tired of adding their code to my site. So the only traffic info I get is from my host and they don't list referral information.

All of a sudden I’m getting 10 times my normal traffic. Which I think is pretty cool but I have no idea who recently linked to me. So if you just discovered my site, tell me how you got here. I would really appreciate.

For those of you that are new to this site, let me tell you a couple of things real quick. First, I think one of the reasons most people come here is because of my Link of the Day. I usually have a link to a weird or just interesting site. I also have a Pic of the Day which is usually a photo of one of my friends or something that caught my eye. I suspect that most of the people who check out the Pic of the Day probably know me or one of my friends but that is just a guess on my part. I also make a written post everyday, even if it’s just to say I have nothing to say. Which I’m afraid happens more times than I would like.

Now that that’s out of the way, my brother Dan was apparently offended by what I had to say about my Aunt Karen and the hoax email she got that said she had a virus. It’s all in my post on Dec 26th. I didn’t notice him and my brother Tom laughing so he seems to think that I was trying to make myself look better than my two brothers, by saying I was the only one laughing. I guess they could have been laughing but I didn’t see it because I was in the middle of a laughing fit myself. My brothers Dan and Tom are both into computers and they would both know that deleting the C: drive would be a bad thing if it was possible. I’m sure they probably laughed about it also.

The funny thing to me is that I write in this space everyday and I tell stories that happen in the Mag and I quote people with credit and sometimes without full credit to protect their good names but I rarely get any grief over anything I say here. But my brother has a fit because he feels I insinuated that he was computer illiterate because I didn’t mention that he laughed about my Aunt’s virus hoax.

There are days where I wish the only people who came to this site were total strangers.

Anyway…

Good Night, Good Morning, whatever.

This is going to be a short one because I'm still sick and I'm going to bed early. First of all, Blogger got hacked and all of the passwords got stolen so they are down for the time being. So today I'm doing my post the old fashioned way... with Frontpage.

I don't know when Baldmafia will be updated because the host for that site is fucked in the head and can't seem to change a password correctly. At Valueweb where this site is hosted I was able to do it myself online with a 2 hour delay. It works fine.

I had to send the host for Baldmafia an email and then they wanted to change it to "ftppass1". That is the most generic password I could possibly think of except for maybe just "password" as the password. Anyway, I'm still trying to get that worked out.

Good Night.

I call today's Pic of The Day "Forest of Tripods".

Every year during Christmas on my Mom's side of the family the moment everyone arrives pictures get taken before the kids have a chance to get dirty. It usually starts off with the grandkids. Even though I am now in my thirties I still pose with all of the other grandkids and now the great-grandkids. Then each branch of the family poses for there pictures. My mom has two sisters and a brother. My brother Tom is married and has a child so his family gets to pose. Then everyone poses for the entire family portrait. I have this Uncle who has trouble hearing high pitched noises since the camera uses tones to let you know when the picture is about to be taken, someone always has to squeeze his hand to let him know when the photo will be taken. Then lastly my Mom and her siblings take a photo with just them.

That is what the picture represents to me. Just in case you were wondering why I would take a photo of four tripods?

I'm the resident computer expert in the family so when we all get together I usually hear at least a couple of related stories. My Aunt was telling me about this email she got that talked about this virus that she may have on her computer. The email told her how to get rid of it.
My Aunt said, "It said to right-click and then click on delete."
I said, "Delete what?"
She said, "The C drive."
I immediately busted out laughing. I was in a room of about 15 relatives and I was the only one laughing. I couldn't help it!
She said sarcastically, "Oh that's funny."
I thought it was hilarious. Luckily, for her, there is no delete on the right-click menu for C:. She's very lucky they didn't say "format". I'm sure she would have followed the instruction if she could have.
My Aunt is a very sweet woman but she is sometimes a little gullible.

BTW, I tested my Mom's computer to see if she could bring up my webpage. It worked like a charm, she gets "Page cannot be displayed" heheheheh

I'm still sick and I'm going to bed early.

Good Night.

My Mom just went to bed and my brothers are over at the in laws. I was going to go over also but I got a cold for Christmas and I don't feel up to it at the moment.

I mentioned to my sister-in-law that I had read The Lord of the Rings and she asked me if it was a book. I'm always surprised that somethings I consider to be common knowledge are not as common as I suspected.

Basically, I'm just making a post because I'm anal like that.

Good Night and Merry Christmas.

“You just can’t spank it on Christmas.” – Mason Reed

T’was the night before Christmas Eve and I’m about to go down to the bar.

That’s it I’m no poet. Tomorrow morning I’m getting up and heading home to Tell City. I may get a chance to update my blog but since I won’t have access to FrontPage, I’ll be posting 2 links and 2 pictures today.

I still haven’t wrapped my Mom’s present. I’ll do that when I get back from the Mag. Luckily since I don’t drink that shouldn’t be too much of a chore. I do tend to procrastinate.

I do doubt it that I will be spanking it on Christmas. Since I’ll be at my Mom’s house. Not that I’ve never spanked it there before I mean for chrissakes I grew up there. I just won’t have any porn there. Plus, after going all of these years with out ever getting caught whacking off it would just be my luck to find some softcore movie on Showtime and have my Mom walk in on me. That’s some holiday festivities I don’t want to get in on.

Well, I’m off to the Mag.

Good Night and Merry Christmas.

Lately, I've been playing a lot of Return to Castle Wolfenstein.

I just watched the last hour of a movie that is perfect for playing that game. The Dirty Dozen, All I got to see was the parts where they do almost nothing but kill Germans. I did get a little misty-eyed when Jim Brown got shot but who hasn't?

So I'm going to go kill some Germans for Jim Brown.

Good Night, Good Morning, whatever.
