First Corollary to Grant's Theorem of Warez:

If you are not willing to format your hard drive, and re-install Windows, you may not make use of warez.

Grant's Theorem of Warez:

If you are not smart or skillful enough to fix the problems that come with using warez, you may not install warez.

What follows is a story that needs to be said.

My father is having a birthday soon. Two and a half weeks from now is the hallowed occasion. As a point of interest, my father and I are separated by exactly two weeks, on our date of birth. (just a little factoid)

As his birthday is coming up, I asked him what he wanted. First on the list was a weed whacker that had a clip to guarantee it doesn't come unplugged. But after listing to his precise requirements for this device, I decided it wasn't the right gift to give.

So I asked him for suggestion number 2.

After some prodding he responded with, a Swiffer WetJet.

A Swiffer WetJet!?! A SWIFFER WETJET!?!?!

After that, I had no words. I still don't. If this thing showed emoticons, you'd be looking at the shocked one.

Please, someone! I can't be the only person that's annoyed like this.

I don't doubt that the Sandra Shmirler Foundation has a noble purpose. I get why they chose the 'Hurry' vocal, that goes with their commercial. She's a curler. That's a common refrain during a match. Its also symbiotic with the Foundation's need for cash.

But my GOD!!! Could they not have composed the commercial in such a way that the shrill, shrieking female voice didn't bite into you, like the incisors of a rabid dog? I have to hit the damn mute button every time this commercial plays. And being a curling broadcast, they play it A LOT!!!

Won't someone save me from this auditory nightmare!?!

Tonight I wish to send out mad props to my home girl Meebs. She presented me with the excellent suggestion to combine chicken with taco shells, and make a tasty supper that I alone would never have thought up.

Thanks Melissa! It was a super idea! I loved it!

I need a different point of perspective

As a guy, am I entitled to an opinion on women's fashion? Or by virtue of my gender, am I supposed to stay silent and nod approvingly at whatever the she in the equation, has chosen to garb herself?

Blog (Serious) Survey Of The Day:

Would my readership like to be informed of instances when I am on the road, and away from my computer? Perhaps by virtue of a flag at the top of the margin for the blog page?

Email answers as always.

Blog Question Of The Day:

Would it be gay to have red, satin sheets?

Well, I'm back.

One more round in the eternal struggle between good (or at least I think I am) and 'the place we shall not name'. We tried, they seemed to get that, but we walked out of the place with only the fuzziest of good feelings. We'll see what happens this week but I'm cautiously optimistic. If any of you do that prayer thing, maybe say a quick word for me and my unending struggle.

And if you do, thank you.
