"There is no winner in a piss fight." - Gary Quick
Sometimes I have moments of clarity and a truism will pass from my lips as if God (pronounced "Gahd") Himself reached down and moved my vocal cords and shaped my word-hole so that he could share with you good people words of wisdom. When I spoke the divine phrase, "There is no winner in a piss fight." I knew that God had touch me in a good place and a greater wisdom than I possess was channeled threw me.
I'm not going to go into the events that led up to me saying those words and I realize that may not be a gift from God but I liked the sound of it and I figured I'd make it my quote of the day. Feel free to spread it around, if I'm ever famous you'll know where those famous words first came from.
I have an anouncement to make...
Roy's Annual Crawfish Boil is tomorrow, Sunday in Clarksville, IN at his Grandma's just like every year. I believe this is the fourth year in a row but I'm not completely sure on that.
It should be a good time, it usually is.
Good Night, Good Morning, whatever.

I had a good time at the Mag Bar today. Dave the owner of the bar had a cookout for the fourth and it was mostly just a bunch of our friends hanging out and eating burgers and what not.
I'm still in the clutches of Neverwinter Nights. As I'm typing this post all I can think of is finishing up and playing the game.
In the near future I should be DJing at El Mundo. A couple of friends of mine work there and they both have asked me to come DJ. In preparation for this event I've been trying to rip a large chunk of my music collection to MP3's. I have always been doing that with new music but I have never been good about going through my old stuff. As I sit here doing my post, playing NWN or just surfing every 5 to 15 minutes I'm changing out CD's in my laptop. Multi-tasking if you will.
I'll let you know when this happens in case you're interested.
Good Night, Good Morning, whatever.

WASHINGTON (MQN) -- Combat air patrols will fly "randomly" over several American cities and additional workers will staff the nation's homeland security center this Independence Day, senior administration officials said Wednesday.
The only credible information that has come out this week is that there may be some sort of attack on the Magnolia Bar & Grill in Louisville, KY.
There are several reports that promote differing scenarios. Thursday, the FBI said it had received uncorroborated and unconfirmed information about a possible threat from underwater divers.
"There is nothing specific about anything that we are aware of," White House press secretary Ari Fleischer said. "There is just a general level of concern that with Louisville located on the Ohio River and the proximity of the Mag Bar to the riverfront."
When asked why terror forces would choose the Magnolia Bar & Grill as a target Fleischer said, “They believe that if they can strike into the heart of the United States, in one little neighborhood bar, they can strike anywhere and it will force the American People to come to terms with these terrorists.”
There are just two steps the federal government is taking to ensure the safety of Americans during the patriotic holiday, the officials said. President Bush said Tuesday that Americans should "celebrate heartily" and know that "if I could still do coke off a $1000 a night hooker’s back with you tonight, I would." President Bush then mumbled something about being “electorated (sic) fair and square” and “Dick” not letting him sit in his chair. President Bush never cleared up whether he was talking about his chair or Dick Cheney’s chair.

As I was coming home from the bar I ran by Winn Dixie to pick up a 9 roll package of Charmin brand toilet paper. I grabbed the package and saw a some toilet plungers for sale in the same aisle. For an instant I thought about getting a plunger and a big box of Velveta Cheese Food Product and heading to the counter. I would have to explain that I had a big weekend planned and I need supplies.
Time for Neverwinter Nights.
Good Night, Good Morning, whatever.

I saw this commercial for this new flat hose that makes it easy to roll up in this handy dandy carrying case. To show just how strong the hose is they attached it to a SUV and pulled it with a small tractor. They showed it move the SUV about a yard before they switched scenes.
The only thing I could think about was that I saw this show on HBO where these three guy's pulling a city bus with their penises (peni?) about a yard or so.
If a hose doesn't have the strength of three penises then I don't think I want it. I would have to own a 10 maybe even 20 penis hose.
It would be a good way to rate the strength of hoses. Three penis and below hoses would be the first grade, 10 penis, 25 penis, 50 penis and firefighter hoses would be 100 penis hoses.
I also want to point out before I get emails on the subject, I am well aware that I use variants of the word "penis", 10 times including that last one. If there were 3 women pulling the bus by their labias it would be a completely different system. Well not completely different, it would just be female parts instead of male parts.
Good Night, Good Morning, whatever.

My eyes are burning like they are on fire.
I went out for a bit and when I got back I started to play Neverwinter Nights. After a while the program froze and I decided that was enough of that. So I started to play Junkbot again and I've been sitting here for about an hour and a half and my eyes are about to fall out of my head. That's an hour and a half on top of the Neverwinter Nights gaming.
I can't stare at this screen any longer today.
Good Night, Good Morning, whatever.

Last night was pretty much all of the good things and bad things that I remember about the job.
I got to greet and talk to all of my friends as they came in. I had obnoxious drunks trying to hangout with me. I got bored for a bit but not for long because many of my friends sat at the corner of the bar with me. I must admit by 3 AM, I was looking forward to the end of the night. I also really enjoy getting everyone out of the bar at the end of the evening. Going to the back of the building and herding everyone out has always been one of my favorite tasks.
I turned away a couple of fake ID’s, a guy who showed me his ID that said he was 20 years old and couple of guys with no ID’s. One of the guys with no ID actually offered to give me a tattoo if I let him in. He had a lot and a lot of metal shit in his face but I told him I’d pass.
I don’t have a problem with facial piercing but show some restraint. You don’t need multiple lip, eyebrow and nose piercings. Multiples of each variety by the way.
Overall, I had a good time but I’d be happy if the next time was another 2 years down the road.
One last thing, I got an email from someone who took offense to my reference to drunks yesterday. The person said, “If you hate drunks so much, why do you constantly hang out in a bar?” “A bar is a drunk's 'turf' for lack of a better word.”
My definition of “a drunk” is someone who can’t handle their liquor. I have a lot of friends who drink. Most of my friends rarely act like drunks. Sometimes they do but that is usually the exception and not the rule. I have one friend who I can only tell is drunk because he talks more than normal. Not faster, not louder, just more. If he is really shit-faced he may slur a bit, but not usually enough to even notice. I have no problem with people drinking. I just don’t want to be around the staggering, loud and forgot the definition of personal space drunk.
Now, I do hangout in a bar, but most of my friends come to this bar and if I want to be with them the most convenient place is the bar. Sometimes you have to take the good with the bad. I must conclude with this, I know a lot of people that come to the Mag and many of them drink a lot, but most of the people that go to the Mag can handle their liquor. I definitely mean “most” and not “all”.
Good Night, Good Morning, whatever.
