Long time readers might recall my ear troubles the past couple years.

Yesterday, my right ear developed a low level humm and a weird third planey type thing to it. Today it was still there. I had to go get my 6 month hearing test on my left ear’s hearing loss thank to the famed twin abscesses…

Turns out it could all be fora reason. I might have THIS.

Nice eh? Yup the only thing Rush and I might have in common.

Gonna go cry some more.

Few things I hate more than newscasters disseminating false information to induce panic:

Subject: WRONG! gas station explosions

You featured this morning about cell phones setting off gas station fumes to cause explosions.

NOT TRUE. It’s all a urban legend.
The Urban Legen Reference pages

Need more proof you’re broadcasting lies and panic inducing misinformation?

The discovery channel show MythBusters has already done an extensive investigation, and even when the gas fumes were several hundred of times what a open air gas station could EVER have, a cell phone rang and rang and rang. They tried dozens of times. Never worked. It is a GREAT show.

HOWEVER the static electricity off women’s nylon underw DID set off an explosion, every time. The performed these tests under fireman’s supervision in a closed test environment.

Women wear alot of nylon, in skirts, hose and underw, and they are 6x’s more likely to walk back to the car and slide in to sit down and rummage in a handbag until the tank fills. The car seats are covered in nylon as well. This is why they think women are more likely to be victims of Station fires.

A woman wing hose and nylon/polyester panties or a polyester content skirt and touching her door handle is enough to generate a spark - this is how it happens. Men wear cotton briefs, less static risk.

Nylon on nylon friction = static electricity + Gas vapor = BOOM!

It’s a urban legend, pure and simple. But telling people to not wear silky panties, or get their money out before they pump gas that doesn’t put people in a blind panic, does it?

Thank you,

“In 1969, Neil Armstrong made history by becoming the first man to walk on the moon, uttering the immortal phrase, “One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.” Or did he?”

Guy breaks into house of man he knows, man was sex offender, and was arrested for what the guy found.

Now, wether the guy broke in because he knew or suspected the man’s activities, or if he broke in to steal crap and just happened to find these things will decide if he goes to jail for real time or not. I think the fact he turned himself and the evidence found will do wonder for him, but if I hear more I’ll let you all know.

I made a calendar of my best florida vacations shots, mainly just to get one made to give to Mr Man for Xmas.

If you like it, feel free to buy one as well!

I know a guy named Ethan who is currently on Antarctica on an extended year long research mission on neutrinos, of all things. Cool, eh? How cool is that? (about -100F)

I thought I’d share his website with you and link to his Journal so you could live vicariously.

He posts it by hand, so it’s a scroll down to get the latest entry, but the connection down there is less than optimal to do it any other way I guess.

And I bet with the solar storms that we have all hd about mucking up communication for all of us up here potentially soon, it can’t be a breeze to connect down there with that on top of everything else they have to do to get online.

He’s got pictures from his last stint down there a few years ago as well, and I’m sure new ones coming, so do check them out!

Dave posted this link and I had to steal it.

Wholesome Wear (boy that name just makes you cringe eh?) makes modern, and even less revealing, duplicates of what your Grandma or Great Grandma used to swim in - for the thoroughly modern Mormon (or other religious zealot wackos who cant accept girls have knees).

God hates females in swimsuits, I guess.

Some odd information has hit the fan since I posted this…

I think my cat Zelda is flirting with my dog Gary.

She’ll run in and sit in front of him, then take off, then come back and slink under his nose (he’s only a little bigger than she is), rub on him, then he’ll try to play and she only half ass tries to stop him. If he walks away, becasue he knows we tell him to leave the cats alone, she gets mad and swipes at him, advancing on him several feet as he retreats. Then tries to rub on him again. Sometimes she follows him from room to room like this.

Being the way he keeps trying to hump my other dog Maggie (who is way bigger than him), Zelda may start something she can’t stop. heh.

Honda does do some neat ads. And this new one with the Lego Car is no exception. A worthy follow up to their “Cog” ad.

HAPPY PANTHER DAY!

At least to you lucky bastards to get it today.

Just saw the movie Identity on Pay Per View.

Oh. my. freaking. god.

Wow. Scary. Very very scary. Freaky. Very very freaky. Mess you up. Very very much. Really good. Woah.

I so should have NOT started to watch that at 1am. woah.

Mr Man didn’t want to see it, thought it looked dumb, Mr Man is away at a company outing so Jenny dialed it up.

Might have to tape that for him, make him watch. Yeah, and freak him the crap out.

Since Sledge posted it, and it’s also my favorite station on the web (and luckily I can also get it in my car as well since it’s practically in my backyard - it was the only good thing about moving here).

I’ve plugged the station on here before, and made a few of your turn it in by force on AIM.

WOXY is one of the top radio stations on the web.

I know when I listen I hear requests from London, Berlin… it’s really neat to see a local, independent station wipe it’s ass with the competition, especially with a ClChannel flagstation, and a dozen other stations of theirs in the area.

Way to go! Pull them up.WOXY 97X is a truly great station.

(iTunes users: they are already in iTunes! Just go to Radio in the Left column under Library, open “alt/modern rock”, and WOXY has two streams at the bottom of the list.)

I’ve posted before on my hate of Mannhiem Steamroller.

Turns out they long to ruin another season for me. Halloween.

They have come out with a Halloween album now. I sw to freaking god. I just saw a commercial for it.

Oh joy…

Hehe hehe hehehehe!

God, I love The Onion.

Mr Man calls out to me about my getting him a drink. When I get back to the office in the rear of the house he asks what I’m watching out front.

Me: (handing him his iced tea) Oh, a show about women poisoning men. Here’s your tea. Drink up now.

Mr Man: Do’h!

Went to Walmart here in town, which if you know me is a rare occurrence as target owns my wallet. But i wanted to see what Walmart had as a selection as far as what i was looking for.

While trolling around the store. I foudn this makeup case:

Supersize me!

What’s wrong with it other than being ugly as sin? It’s got Venetian Courtesans. (See the gondolas?)

Yup, Wallyworld is selling makeup bags with whores plastered all over it. It actually IS a “Ho’ Bag”.

Talk about sending a weird message.

I just thought it was funny, and since I’ve been under the weather the last few days and haven’t posted much I thought it would make decent blog fodder.
