News that annoys...........

Eliot Spitzer compares driver's license plan to MetroCards You can find the whole story HERE. I think perhaps somebody forgot to tell the governor that a metro card gives you the pre-paid right to ride public transportation.....driven by a legal licensed driver. A bus or train that usually smells of pee and poo........ I really need to start writing for this goofass.. New York may join crackdown on plastic bags You can find the whole story HERE. OK, I hate to admit it, but I'm onboard with one. I hate plastic grocery bags, always have. It's always worse at checkout also..when the smarmy assed bagger asks you.."paper or plastic"? I mean it's like a catch22 ya know? If I say paper, I'm killing a tree. If I say plastic I'm poisoning a river. I don't need that kinda pressure man!!!! I just want to pay for my bag full of yummy goodness and go home...eat my decadent purchase. Give me paper, we can grow new trees......take that Mr. bagboy smarmyass!!! Sarkozy Cuts Off 'Stupid' CBS Interview You can read the whole thing HERE. Big sissy...but still, refereshing to see a frenchman with a spine, whoda thunk?? Take care goofs and friends...:)

No more Bush........No more Clinton......

OK.....so this is...and isn't a political rant.....kinda...:) I'm not really posting this as a political debate, but more as simple math. I was listening to my morning radio, and something was tossed out I'd heard before...but never really sunk in. We've had 20 years now, where the last name of the president our country was either named "Bush" or "Clinton". We have the possibility of 4 more...perhaps 8 more...perhaps 12+ if Jeb decides to run for it 2012/2016.. Regardless of your personal politics, your leanings conservative or liberal...this just f*cking cant be healthy. It stinks of dynasty, it smells of monarchy...and it has the musk of stale clothing left too long in the washing machine.....you know, when you forget and 3 days later you find the towels you were happy to put in the washer...but um forgot you promised the wife "you'd" toss them in the dryer.....I digress....:) It's like laundry goofs and friends, you vote a load into the machine..then when it's done, ya dry them out, vote a fresh load in, and etc... I for one would like my son to remember clothing choices in his life that extend beyond clean towels and clean underwear. Perhaps some clean jeans or a nice shirt...before he's 30.....is that too idealistic? Take care goofs and friends!! :)

Guys.......C'mon........

No...I don't need a fake Rolex... No...I don't need a free coupon to Chili's No...I don't believe I've won the Irish/British/Canadian/Australian lottery No...I don't want to refinance my house I was a little put out by the fact you goofs seem to think I need viagra or cialis... That you stated I needed a bigger dick......well...naw, but perhaps.... I'm pretty certain I've already met and married my soulmate.... But!!!! And I really mean this!! I do not......under any circumstances.....want a free breast augmentation!! hell......I'd never leave the house, I'd be playing with them!!!!!! Zig out!! :)

Odd, perhaps idealistic view.......

1) if your here illeagally.....you shoudn't be here 2) if you come here from a rich country, why are you here? 3) if your here because your country is unfair...fair enough, but why should we change our country for you? 4) if your plan is to make change......why not change your country...instead of ours? Take care goofs and friends...:)

Wierd couple of days.........

So I get the call yesterday..........its a familiar one from this guy. It basically starts with the word.......HELP!!!! In fairness, I love this guy. He used to be my bartender years and years ago. He knew me when I was at the bottom of my 1st marriage, I was there when he was at his bottom, we have history....he and I. I've watched him bust his ass hard, I've watched him fail, I've watched him succeed. I really need to start charging him by the minute when he needs a coder. By the minute damnit.....really...a simple thank you page with a frame buster is 10-20 minutes out of my day,,,,,,,,,,but 4 hours to learn paypal sent you an e-mail warning...after the fact......all 4 hours billable next time buddy!!! Take Care goofs and friends!! :)

Quotable quotes........

Tonight I was watching some old comedy central....and some shit just cracked me up. Having said that, I thought I'd toss out some quotes that crack me up as well...some are even true...:) ***I would go out with women my age, but there are no women my age. (George Burns) ***Abortion is a touchy subject...but to me it's about the question when does life begin. This is harder because all my friends say life begins at 40. (Kevin Nealon) ***The art of being a gentleman is getting the lady to say yes...without having actually asked the question. (Hough Heffner) ***Son my dad used to say...there's just as much heing and sheing going on today as when I was your age.......but we had enough goddamn sense to keep our mouth shut about it!! (My Granpa) Take care goofs and friends.....:)

Remote update........

OK....so for what it's worth, I broke down and actually looked for the remote myself. Took about 5 minutes, and an educated guess as to the couch being the last place the princess was seated, prior to "missing remote day". Now the pondering begins..........what to do...what to do......do I rehide the remote? Do I plant the remote in a book bag? Do I mess with their heads and say I had it all along? Hrrrmmmm........decisions decisions..... What would you do goofs and friends???

News that annoys...........

OK.....so I really would like to say this hasn't affected me. Truth be it, it has....not because it's changed the world, not because it's important.... It's because it's apparently a major news story and that is what irritates me to no end...and forces me to say something that I'd never have thought would come out of my mind.... Ellen.....please please please...for the love of all things dear.....piss off and shut the hell up!!!!!!!!!! Yes, you did break a contract. Yes, you didn't feel your home was proper for the doggie in question. Yes, your heart may have been in the proper place, but that didn't stop you from sending back the puppie you adopted first did it? For all of us, I personally beg you...stop this madness. Really, it's gone too far....the cats were right......live with it.... Zig out...:)

TMI Tuesday.....after a long break....:)

1. What was the first movie you saw on a date? Hrrrmmmmm....I clearly remember there was a movie, it was at a drive in theatre.......there was a bottle of peach schnapps involved.....also some property damage....those metal posts that hold up the speakers are not as sturdy as they appear.. 2. Who was the first person you kissed on a date? [First name is fine.] On a date.....well now.......let me think......first person on a date no less....great, make this hard.....not the 1st kiss, not the 1st love, the 1st kiss on a date...OK...I admit it........my mom made me kiss her cheek before I left....I hope your happy you bastards!!!!! "Quietly holds blanket and rocks back and forth"... 3. Where was the first place you ever "parked" (on a date)? My own driveway.......it was a very safe place.....:) 4. Have you ever gone on a date with someone you met via the internet? If not, would you? Alas, yes I have. Repeat offender actually. Some ended well.....some not so much so...internet dating proved to me...at a time I needed it most...that there are people out there atleast as messed up as myself....:) 5. What is the most romantic thing you have done on a first date? Speak honestly from the heart, and take the time to listen... Bonus (as in optional):Describe the best date you have ever been on. It was almost 6 years ago.......We met at a local brewpub. We married later that year and I'm a lucky man........:) Happy TMI Goofs and friends...:)

Don't F*ck with the old mans remote

I know it sounds petty but damnit this irritates me. On the upside, I should reflect, I should realize that if this is an annoyance.....well life is pretty good in the Zig house. On the downside, this is a prolonged war. A war without mercy......a nasty nasty little war.... There are contrary to belief, rules in the Zig house. Most of them mundane, treat people nice....pick up after yourself, most enforcement is pretty lax because most rules are if not obeyed.....not terribly stepped upon......but 1 rule is pretty damn clear. DO NOT MESS WITH MY REMOTES! I dunno, this is one I never planned on. It never occurred to me that my children would "borrow the batteries" from a perceived unused remote for a toy. It never occured to me that my children would feel the need to use a remote while sitting 2 damn feet from the tv.... For the love of GAWD KIDS!!!! You are less than an arms length from the TV........WTF do you need a remote for???? The answer was harder for me when I asked my son this......well dad, you said I couldn't touch the hardware, no matter what.....so needed the remote....... Touche manchild.............touche..... BTW....your both grounded till one of you finds the remote to the DVD player.... Take care goofs and friends!!!!! :)
