Taunters
I have seen part of the Sadam execution and I have come to this conclusion. I'm still not sure if we should should execute people...but if we do it anyway, I think there should be a person to taunt the person about to be killed. This IS punishment afterall.
I would like to apply for the job as Taunter

Another Myth for a Dead Guy
Why do people lie about dead Presidents.
I have heard several times this last week that Gerald Ford "Healed" the nation by pardoning Nixon. Maybe he healed the Republican Party, but the nation still hasn't recovered from Watergate. The way our government treats us (and visa/versa) remains fundamentally different than it was prior to Watergate. Ford robbed the nation of a chance to hold accountable a man who betrayed the Presidency. That makes it much easier for others to betray us as well.

Thanksgiving
I was reminded of the thankgiving of some years ago. My father said a kind of open grace, in which we were thankful for this country that we live in.
My wife piped up "What about the native Americans?"
To which my father replied, "Oh Yes...we are thankful for victory over our enemies"

Wildlife
So a few weeks ago I was sitting in my cab out near the airport (which is north of town). It was the last real warm day of the year. I was just reading my paper, listening to the radio and killing time, when I heard a weird clicking noise from outside the cab. I looked up to see a Roadrunner, its claws clicking against the asphalt, chasing after a moth. I have never seen a roadrunner outside of a zoo (or a cartoon) and I didn't even think they lived this far north, but it was undoubtedly a roadrunner. A little taller than a rooster, with long, very powerful legs. The son of a bitch looked almost insane the way he ran around crazily going after prey, an sprial/zig-zag, that lasted about ten minutes around my cab, then abruptly ended when the bird saw something it wanted in the distance and ran like Hell until it was out of view.
Didn't see any coyotes.

Disturbing Trend in Film
As I mentioned in my last post I have been to two films lately. I just realized something about them:
In both films (Borat and Casino Royale) there are naked men...but there are no naked women.
I demand more naked women and fewer naked men. That is the proper way to make a film.

Movie-Going Fool
So I have gone to two movies this last week. Which is two more that I have been to in the last two months.
I saw Borat, liked it alot. I sure you've heard the buzz about this already, but let add mine to the din.
Last Night I saw Casino Royale. I hated Pierce Brosnan as Bond. I like this new guy. It is an incredibly dark gritty film. It would not sirprise me if it got Oscar talk.
...oh...and 007 gets his balls beaten....you don't want to miss that.

Old Song
So a couple of weeks ago I was waxing on the songs that you hear when you are a child. Songs that seem to have no origin. I'm sure you have some of your own. They are quite often parodies of popular songs. "Couldn't Believe my eyes at the burning of the School" sung to the tune of "John Brown's Body".
I have found that the dirtier the song, the better I remember it. But there was one (a non-dirty one) that I could remember. Sung to the tune of "On Top Of old Smoky"
On top of spagetti, all covered with Cheese
I lost my poor meatball whne somebody sneezed
It rolled off the table and onto the floor
and then my poor meatball, it rolled out the door....
For the life of me I couldn't remember the rest of it. I asked everybody I knew "How does that song end?" and none of them knew. They were calling their friends and family and nobody knew.
But then...
I called Mike Mcgee (a/k/a/johnnyappledog)
He knew the last two lines immediately.
Do you?

What Would You Do?
Here's the scenario
You must kill one person or you will be killed.
Here are the rules.
You get a get out of jail free card. You will not be punished for killing this one person.
It must be a real living person (no Hitlers or Jesus Christs)
You will be given 24 hours to kill this person (or top be killed)
You will be provided with the weapons/tools that you need including military equipment or execution devises. The weapons must actually exist you can't use a Stars Wars Blaster.
The person you kill (or who kills you) must be able to see and know what's going on. That you are the one killing (or being killed).
While the manner of death can be extreme it must be realistic.
If it is someone famous use their name. If it isn't (whether you use their name or not) give some info about them, i.e. My ex-spouse or my neighbor who has loud parties.
WARNING: Because of the current laws in the USA restricting free speech DO NOT select the president. That would be illegal to say or post. I will just assume that more than half of you would choose him and go with your second choice.
HERE GOES...
IF YOU CHOOSE TO KILL
Who do you kill? why him/her?
How do you kill them? why that way?
IF YOU CHOOSE TO BE KILLED
Who kills you? why do you select them.
How do they kill you? Why that way?

Fish Enabler
So the day, on my day off, it was very hot here in Chico California. I decided I would take the poverty route to coolness and went down to the park here (Bidwell Park) in a section called Hooker Oak (the oak is gone and I saw no hooker), where Chico Creek cuts through. There is usually a large number of children in the area but it was a week day and I got there early so I thought I could avoid most of them.
I went out into the creek and, after swimming around a bit, sat in the water near the bank and just enjoyed the coolness. As I was sitting there crossed-legged, rather buddha-like, up to my waist in water, I noticed that the minnows were finding me interesting. There was a school of about twenty of them, all facing me, about 4-8 inches in front of me. It was as though I was teaching the class.
I remained still and quiet (as I tend to do when I am in a "Natural" setting") and just letting events unfold around me, as they usually do.
After about a half hour I noticed a tickling on my right thigh/calf where they meet at the knee when one is sitting cross-legged. Something (bigger than a minnow) was using me for cover. The minnow had remained enthralled with me and hadn't moved at all.
Suddenly there was a swift movement from the creature hiding under my leg. It was a 4-5 inch trout. It grabbed a minnow and dashed back to its hiding place under my leg. The minnows scattered for a moment then returned to their place in front of me. After a couple of minutes the trout dashed out again and ate another minnow, then hid again. This happened one more time while I remained completely still. Then a group of loud children showed up and scared the minnows away.
And the trout never thanked me

Ice Cream Article
The local rag ran an article on my boss a couple of weeks ago.
http://www.newsreview.com/chico/Content?oid=oid%3A57637
The blue truck is identical to the one that I drive. The reason they interviewd him and not me (other than the fact that it's his company) is that while I would tell them the truth, I might not tell them the right thing
i.e. Brian mentions that some parents don't like to buy ice cream for their children because they don't wnat them to eat sugar, or processed food, or maybe they just don't have enough money. But I would tell the the real reason. No matter what A parent says the reason they don't get an ice cream for their children is becuase they hate their children. I tell the kids this.
LIL RAGAMUFFIN I AM DRIVING SLOWLY BY: My mommy wouldn't let me buy an ice cream.
MENTULA: That's because she hates you.
It's important that the children know this so that they can develope strategies for survival.
I also tell the kids, "Don't let them know you are on to them. That could be fatal. Just take some money from you mommie's purse when she's not looking and come see me to some some ice cream and advise."
