I found Dorman's Competition!

As seen on Break.com

ExxonMobil earnings of $10.7B set a U.S. record

For the full year, net income surged 43% to $36.13 billion, bigger than the economies of 125 of the 184 countries ranked by the World Bank.

Absolutely disgusting...enough said.

All about me!

I picked this up over at IL's blog and Crys' blog. I had to post it as numbers 4 & 9 are very fitting seeing as I'm a Respiratory Therapist. The only reason 100 people choke on me, is because once I'm off the clock, you're on your own ;) Just ask ChaseDC & Dorman!

Study: Bats' sexual prowess tied to smaller brains

So which do you prefer? Big testicles with a small brain, allowing for several mates and offspring, or small testicles and a larger brain allowing for fewer mates and offspring? It kills me with the types of topics that scientists will study. It would be interesting to see if there are any correlations in the human species ;)

Friends...

Well, if you haven't read by now...it was an interesting weekend with Dorman and some of our fellow bloggers. A good time was had by all...apparently some more than others ;) It was great to finally meet those "behind the screen". Mattandriver at Commonality among Indifference and his wife and Carnealian at Graven Images. Blogs are what you make of them, and what you take from them. You're welcome to those that expressed thanks for the advice and the shoulders to lean on. Thanks to you as well. I look forward to hanging with all again. Dorman I missed you and it was great to catch up. I'm glad you made it home safe and are finally happy. And yes, you do look good in blue ;) BTW Sunday was not a good day for me :( as I'm sure most of you as well.

Way back machine!

Here is one to fire up those dusty old synapses:
I was driving down the road yesterday and noticed an old faded sign that triggered some pleasant memories. Green fingers and tongues, lots of licking and sticking, fighting with my brother to put the last one in the book. They were very popular years ago, but eventually faded out of sight and mind. Have you figured it out yet? I'm talking about S & H Green Stamps. Why I'm talking about this I have no idea.



After some research, I've discovered that they actually haven't totally disappeared. They've retooled themselves for the digital age and now have a website GreenPoints.com. Here is a history of the green stamp and you'll be suprised that they've been around as long as they have. Oh, and if you still have some laying around in the back of a drawer, you can still turn them in!! I hope this triggered some long lost memories for you, as it did for me. As I say here at Causticity's Place, 'A little bit of everything, about a whole lot of nothing'.

PC Thought of the day

I found this email in my inbox upon returning home from vacation. It is very thought provoking and imo an honest portrayal of today's society.

If you are ready for the adventure of a lifetime, TRY THIS:

Enter Mexico illegally. Never mind immigration quotas, visas, international law, or any of that nonsense. Once there, demand that the local government provide free medical care for you and your entire family. Demand bilingual nurses and doctors.
Demand free bilingual local government forms, bulletins, etc. Procreate abundantly.

Deflect any criticism of this allegedly irresponsible reproductive behavior with, "It is a cultural American thing. You would not understand."

Keep your American identity strong. Fly Old Glory from your rooftop, or proudly display it in your front window or on your car bumper.

Speak only English at home and in public and insist that your children do likewise.

Demand classes on American culture in the Mexican school system.

Demand a local Mexican driver license. This will afford other legal rights and will go far to legitimize your unauthorized, illegal presence in Mexico.

Drive around with no liability insurance and ignore local traffic laws.

Insist that local Mexican law enforcement teach English to all its officers.

Good luck! You'll be demanding for the rest of time or soon dead.

Because it will never happen. It will not happen in Mexico or any other country in the world except right here in the United States, Land of the naive and stupid, idiotic politically correct politicians.

If you don't agree, go ahead and try the above in Mexico or Iraq and see what happens.

Mr & Mrs SnotSucker

All my bags are packed, I’m ready to go
I’m standing here outside your door
I hate to wake you up to say goodbye
But the dawn is breakin’, it’s early morn
The taxi’s waiting, he’s blowin’ his horn
Already I’m so lonesome I could cry.
Chorus:
So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you’ll wait for me
Hold me like you’ll never let me go.
I’m leavin’ on a jet plane
I don’t know when I’ll be back again
Oh, babe, I hate to go.
There’s so many times I’ve let you down
So many times I’ve played around
I tell you now, they don’t mean a thing
Every place I go, I think of you
Every song I sing, I sing for you
When I come back, I’ll wear your wedding ring.
(chorus)
Now the time has come to leave you
One more time let me kiss you
Then close your eyes, I’ll be on my way.
Dream about the days to come
When I won’t have to leave alone
About the times, I won’t have to say,
(chorus)
-Peter, Paul & Mary

See everyone next week!!

Must see TV!

Woman's body sits in front of TV for 2 1/2 years

Dressed to impress...

Something has recently caught my attention and is bugging me like crazy. Have people lost all respect for themselves as well as others? While staying at a very nice hotel with a breakfast buffet, several guests came down to breakfast in their pajamas/sleepwear. I can understand grabbing something and running back up to your room, but several people sat and chowed down with the remaining 30+ appropriately clothed guests. Since when have pajamas become daywear? Some were still sporting their "bed head", and let's just say their pj's weren't right off the rack. Ratty old shorts that you've used to paint around the house and a t-shirt so old you could see through it. How hard is it to slip on a pair of jeans and a t-shirt or sweatshirt, comb your hair and head out the door? Another encounter occured while treating a patient at 10am in the ER. The patient was clothed appropriately, but the family member was still in their pj's at 10am. If anyone should be in their pj's, it should've been the sick patient. Again, how hard is it to slip on a pair of jeans/pants and a t-shirt/sweatshirt, comb your hair and head out the door? Have people become so uncaring and lazy that this is what we should expect in today's society? I guess my parents brought me up better than this and maybe I'm expecting too much.

Which will it be...Rockstar or Pornstar?

You can be whoever you want to be as long as you're willing to help rid the world of idiots. Just head over to Reverend Gisher's Place and be ready to roll up your sleeves. Hint: (if you want to be a pornstar, you might want to head over there this week). However, if you're one of those feeble minded, anonymous, commenters that likes to surf by blogs and criticize by leaving negative comments without lifting a finger to make the world a better place, then this is not the place for you. We want action not just reaction. See you there!

Orwellian Pizza.....or GWB Pizza?

With all of the info surfacing regarding President Bushs' illegal spy program and his so called "war on terror".....this could become reality. I'm not a big fan of the ACLU, but I found this to be hilarious yet eerie at the same time. Need sound for this one.
TakeOut

Whew.....

Between work and the Holiday's, it's been a hectic Holiday week for me & mine resulting in virtually no blogging time. Next week Melissa & I will be on the road 'mon. Ya 'mon Jamaica 'mon!
Hope every one is recouperating and getting back into the swing of things again.
Oh and by the way....HAPPY NEW YEAR! See you when we get back!
