New Years Confusion.
Later tonight when you have had a couple drinks or 12 in your system, watch the following clip.
I'm not sure what it's about, but it has some kind of creepy kid, a goofy bird and some hot German girls wearing lederhosen, or whatever the female equivalent is. Anyway it has to be hilarious when you are drunk.

Well, if we are giving credit, I should tell you that I found that over at http://iasshole.org/.
When I first saw this I e-mailed it to basically everybody in my contacts list, with the subject "Big Birds twin smurf brother with an extra chromosome"

I'll have to come back and watch after I've had a few glasses of wine - right now I'm just going to wish you and your wonderful family a very Happy New Year!

Another year down.
The keg is tapped, Glogg is warming, and various bottles of liquor are chilling. The fridge is filled with food and the house smells like happiness waiting to happen. It can only mean one thing. ItÂ’s New Years Eve! I would like to wish all of my readers and passer bys a Happy New Year. 2007 was a good year for some of you and a bad year for others. There was a mix of happiness and sorrow. Of friends and relatives that have departed in one-way or another.
For those of you that have lost a loved one,
For those of you that have struggled with life decisions,
For those of you that have had trouble with the outcomes,
For everyone that has grieved, cried or been depressed over the last year,
I wish upon you a better year.
For those of you that have found love,
For those of you that have been blessed by lifeÂ’s fortunes,
For those of you that have been rewarded for your work,
For everyone that has rejoiced, laughed or brightened the lives of those around you,
I wish upon you a better year.
And of course it wouldnÂ’t be New Year with out a proper Scottish toast.
May the best you have ever seen
Be the worst you will ever see
May a mouse never leave your girnal
With a tear drop in his eye
May you always keep hale and hearty
Till you are old enough to die
May you always be just as happy
As we wish you always to be.
Happy New Years!
Please be responsible tonight, if you've drank too much, find a ride. I don't want anyone to start off the year on a downer.
And to spread a little cheer, I left some eye candy for you in the extended entry. The content may be considered NSFW. more...
Guess the Song
When I first watched the clip I swore the guy was singing in a different language and had no idea what was really going on. I tried to figure out what the song was and didn't have a clue until about halfway through when the video switched to "normal".
What I think is most impressive is the fact that the guy had visual effects so you could see that it really was him singing it.

I only got 64...not as much of a geek as I expected to be. Although, to be honest, many of those movies came from 'before my time'.

Hangin' with the in-crowd.
Last night Ktreva and I were able to meet up with some mighty fine bloggers at Klas in Cicero. We had Blackfive, Tammi and T1G. Unfortunately others couldn't join us for work or family obligations. Not that this wasn't a perfectly fine group to begin with, it's just sometimes it's fun to meet other bloggers and talk to them face to face, not via e-mail or comments.
The food was excellent, there were plenty of great stories, and a great time was had by everyone. The highlight of the night was some sweater wearing Czech guy kept hitting up on T1G. I'm not sure it was for friendship or date, but the guy was persistent. At one point Tammie and Ktreva asked me to run interference. After looking at Blackfive, I told them all the only kind of interference I know how to run is as a Wingman, and I don't think T1G wants that kind of help.
It was a lot of fun, and a perfect way to have fun this time of year.

Not sure if this is politically correct, but I think I saw you make a reference to Graumagus at Frizzen Sparks - his blog is freaking gone!! Do you know what happened to it? Yours is equally delightful, and I'm very happy to read it, but I miss that cranky sob already.

Even more assembly required
I love it when the boys get something that needs assembly. It's hours of fun. Not only do you have the fun of trying to interpret cryptic instructions and try to get pieces to go together that just don't want to fit. But once you are finished you get to do it all over again! Why?
Because your four year old can only play with it for about 10 minutes before completely disassembling the whole thing!
Then they want you to put it back together. Now of course in their disassembly process they have bent or damaged the pieces so they don't go back together as easily.
Time to go reassemble Thomas the Tank Engines Sodor Station.
Nintendo thumb no more...
...it's been replaced with Wii shoulder. So I bought the family a Wii. We spent a lot of time yesterday playing it. It was a lot of fun, but after bowling as much as I did and playing some of the other games, I noticed my shoulder was starting to ache. At first I thought it was just me, but no KTreva stated that her shoulder and wrists were starting to get sore as well.
When I was younger I remember playing the Nintendo for hours and getting what my friends and I called "Nintendo thumb" That dull ache and stiffness in the thumbs from holding the controller for hours and the pushing of the buttons. As I sat there yesterday I realized that my thumbs weren't sore at all. Nope, not one bit. Mainly because most of the action of the games revolves around the motion of the controller, not the pushing of buttons. After doing all the bowling, tennis, golf, shooting games, extra, my arms felt like I'd given them a steady workout.
On the upside, I did work off the Christmas dinner I made for the family.

I got that wee shoulder. Maybe it's a mee shoulder. I don't know. Mine isn't from playing video games, it's from holding up those Snap On tools calendars with one hand.

Merry Christmas!
At this time I would like to wish everyone a safe, fun and Merry Christmas. May you have a wonderful day!
I thought a little Billy Idol singing Oh Christmas tree would be a good way to start the day off. I know my family loves to listen to Christmas music on Christmas day, and I really happen to like the way he does this song.
The boys have opened all of their presents and are pleasantly surprised. I was able to score a Wii earlier this month. It was a complete accident. Ktreva and I wanted to get the boys one for Christmas, but you couldn't find them. We were just going to give the boys a picture of one and tell them they were going to get it after Christmas. When my grandmother died I had some time off of work. I stopped by a local game store to see about picking up a Christmas Present for Ktreva. It didn't open until 10:00 AM, I figured I'd wait the 20 minutes. I didn't have anything else to do. Shortly after I arrived another gentlemen pulled in, jumped out of his car and headed to the store. I figured it must be Christmas hours and they opened early, so I joined him.
He was waiting outside the door so I asked, "What are you waiting for?" His response was, "They are getting a shipment of Wiis in today." I stood in line. A couple of seconds later more and more people started showing up. Next thing I knew there was a line of 20 plus people. The store opened and we waited for the UPS guy to arrive. Sure enough he did, but it didn't look promising. The clerk comes out and tells everyone they did get some Wiis in, but only 3. The lady that was in the fourth position was really annoyed. She has been trying to score one every day since Thanksgiving and here I am getting one and it was my first attempt. I almost felt bad enough to give it to her... but then I remember I'm arsehole. It was worth it to see the boys faces.
I figured this was Grandma's last gift to the boys, because if she hadn't died, I wouldn't have had the time off of work and wouldn't have stopped in at the time that I did.
But now on to your Christmas presents. They are in the extended entry. They are kind of NSFW, but not too bad. I hope you enjoy! more...

Flow Chart Fun.
Anyone that has worked in the business world knows what a flowchart is. You've seen them at one point or another either in the idea phase, engineering phase or conception phase of planning. Here is a list of some of the funniest flowcharts on the Net.
Gas Mileage
Ever wonder how far your vehicle can go once the low-fuel light comes on? Well you can look up and see what others have experienced at Tank on Empty.
The in-laws
Sorry I haven't posted in a couple of days. My in-laws are in town and I've been entertaining them. As you may remember, my in-laws don't tend to like me very much. They were supposed to leave this morning, but ended up deciding to stay longer. So now I'm getting ready to head out to meet them. Fortunately this afternoon Graumagus of the now defunct Frizzen Sparks is coming over to watch the Bear/Packer game. Ktreva is letting me off of the hook since all the way up to yesterday evening the original plan was for the in-laws to leave by 10:00 AM this morning. My plans were made before they changed their plans.
All though it was uncomfortable at times, it really didn't go bad. I only got snarked at a couple of times. And I did get to spend some time with Ktreva's Grandfather talking to him. I really like him, he's a good guy and the only one I know that actually likes me. He was telling me World War 2 stories. I just found out that he was in the 101st airborne during the war and fought at Normandy on D-Day and the Battle of the Bulge. For those of you that are Band of Brothers fans, this is one of the guys that was actually there.
Well I need to head out, they are waiting for me at a restaurant. There will be more later.
Forcing your beliefs on others.
So you work for this company that likes to pride itself in being "diverse" and respecting different religions and beliefs of it's employees. Yet when it comes to this time of the year they show their true colors. You see that they are all talk because they are only tolerant of differences if it coincides with what they want.
Let's say you don't celebrate Christmas for various reasons, including religious. You've made it clear to not only your co-workers, but supervisors, managers and anyone you work with that you don't. And as part of your beliefs you do not accept or give gifts this time of year. If you've made this clear every year, you'd think they would catch on. Nope, they do things like ask you to put on Christmas plays, join in on Christmas gift exchanges, and participate in Christmas activities. Now sure they try to mask it by saying, we'll just call it a "Holiday" party or celebration. And just accept the gift as a celebration of your holiday.
The narrow minded don't always realize not all religions have a holiday this time of year.
Every day for the two weeks before Christmas you have someone, who knows better, continually try to get you to join in on the Christmas activities, or give you gifts even with your protests. It's just falling on deaf ears. They continually do it Management and co-workers. Some people respect your beliefs and support you, but the vast majority doesn't.
If this person worked in your office, would you give them the same advice I did? Contact a lawyer and sue for hostile work environment?
The person I'm talking about is very tolerant of other religions and beliefs. They don't complain about all the activities and Christmas/Hanukkah/Kwanza themes floating around. They really don't care, yet other than myself and one other person, no one is respecting their decision.
1
One idea might be to just let the celebration go as a national tradition & holiday rather than focusing on the religious aspects. A good big percentage of people who celebrate Christmas couldn't give a rat's ass about the religious part of it.

In the least have they contacted HR about this? That would be the first step.
And for discrimination cases you first have to contact the EEOC and give them first shot and if they deny it then they will give a letter so you can go to a lawyer.
Any lawyer would tell the person this as the EEOC must always be contacted first.

I think you are missing the point. To this individual it is a violation of their beliefs/religion. You and I grew up in a household that celebrated Christmas as is the majority of households in America. You view it as harmless tradition. however if someone asked you to slaughter a goat in the spring as a celebration of the season as it's their tradition, you might be a little upset too.
I know they've talked to HR, but HR is giving them the same song and dance that Shadoglare stated.

Well, I seem to be running into a little bit of a mental impass in that it feels like we're comparing apples & oranges with that example. If I'm getting your example right the goat slaughtering "tradition" has direct religious bearing, and is actually part of a religoius ritual. Exchanging Christmas gifts is not.
In fact, although it was tagged as an excuse to celebrate the birth of a religious icon, most Christmas traditions stem from activities that are pretty darned non-Christian in nature; although in some cases slightly modified by Christians.
The gift giving tradition stems from a saint who used to sneak around at night tossing pouches of gold into the windows of the poor so they wouldn't have to sell their daughters into prostitution (which, although was started by a saint, really has no religious value - he was just a nice guy). Guy's name was Saint Nikolas.
The Christmas tree is a modification of decorated tree used as part of a pagan sacrificial cerimony.
Rudolph started as a marketing campaign for Montgomery Ward.
Mistletoe's traditions stemmed from a druidic belief that slimy juice of the berries was god-semen.
Really about the only Christmas tradition that is actually Christian in origin is the manger story and any carols specifically referencing it. Something hardcore Christians may not want to admit (or even know), but it's the truth.
So if *those* are being forced on you I'd have a problem with it as well, otherwise that mental disconnect is still there.

To me it would be the same as if that person were a recovering alcoholic and the co-workers were constintly trying to get them to drink or go to the bar even when the recovering alcoholic tells them no.
They are trying to force them to do something that they wish not to do and have repeatedly told them they don't want to do it.
Having to endure that yearly is harrassment.

Are you saying he's a recovering Christian that's worried he may be tempted to go back to church if he slips up and gives somebody a Christmas gift?
Contagion I know you well enough to know you follow a different belief system, however I'm really having trouble grasping why you seem to actually get upset over being asked to participate. Somebody could ask me to spin a draedle with them every year, and even if I have no interest in it I don't see myself getting bent out of shape over it even if they try to get me to do it on a yearly basis. Is it being implied that if you don't participate that it will affect your work or career?
Posted by: Shadoglare at December 21, 2007 11:23 AM (Volhe)
7
Yes, it wasn't the best example, mainly because I don't have a good one. But if the exchanging of gifts is against this persons beliefs, then yes you are forcing your beliefs on this individual, especially if they have asked you to stop. And no matter how much you try to be secular about the Christmas holiday, it is what it is, a Christian holiday. So even in a "traditional" observation of it you are acknowledging and celebrating the birth of Jesus. To some people that is wrong.
As for the history of gift giving, you are right for the most part. You just forgot the giving of gifts by the three Magi to the baby jesus. Although the idea of the modern gift exchange didn't really come to fruit until the 19th century, there are still earlier connections than St. Nick.
And there are religions and belief systems out there that find the exchanging of gifts to be taboo unless for particular reasons. In this individuals case the exchange of a gift this time of year is stricktly part of the Christian observance of Christmas or the Jewish observation of Hannukah or what ever other holiday is this time of year that people exchange gifts for.

Well, this really isn't directly about me, although I do sympathize with the individual. Shadoglare, I think you are missing the overall point still is that this person has told them they do not want to participate as it violates their beliefs. Yet for the entire month the same individuals continue to push the issue even after they have said no.
What has me in a bind and why I'm pissed about it is the complete lack of respect that is being shown to this employee. I'm a firm believer that each person has a right to their beliefs and religious choice. As long as you don't go forcing it on others you can do what ever you want. It's an individual freedom. This whole issue is nothing more than the narrow-minded christian majority not showing the same respect to my employee that they are showing them.
And yes it has effected their job because they are stressing over the entire issue.

Hmmm... I guess if that belief system had some type of doctrine specifically forbidding such a type of celebration that I could see it as a more valid point - apparently I'm not familiar enough with said belief system to recognize it as an issue, which may be the case with the other employees as well.
Posted by: Shadoglare at December 21, 2007 11:57 AM (Volhe)

The thought also struck me of an email going to all parties in management explaining that it's against her religion, but then I remembered that work environment and figured this would probably be akin to opening Pandora's box or at least a big can of worms...
Posted by: Shadoglare at December 21, 2007 12:05 PM (Volhe)
11
Even if it was just this person stating, "I don't celebrate Christmas or any holidays this time of year. I also don't do anything to acknowledge the celebration of it as it goes against my beliefs" should be more than enough. Just because you and others want to force people into your belief system and traditions doesn't give you the right to do so. They have every right to say no and stop. But yes there are a lot of religions and beliefs that state gift giving is bad. And each individual may view acknowledging another religions holiday as wrong. That's why you don't see too many Christians celebrating Ramadon.
Posted by: Contagion at December 21, 2007 12:21 PM (Q5WxB)

I think it comes down to this: People feel better about themselves when they give a gift during the Holiday season. They can't fathom the fact that someone else might not want the gift, and refusing the gift bruises there sense of self worth, therefore they force the issue.

Whether or not he escalates this, he has to think of how he might be able to work with these people the rest of the year. In other words, once you bring in the big guns, while it might get you what you want, it will incur the anger of those who get the hammer dropped on them. They already know they're wrong for pressing him after he asked them to stop - so bringing in people with bigger clout to point this out to the world will piss them off big time. (no one likes it publicly pointed out that they've been a jerk). Thus they will be very angry indeed - and this will be a breach that may not be able to be mended. It's going to impact his relations with everyone for the rest of his career at this place...not just the Christmas season. That might not be fair- but that's life.
If he's that uncomfortable, he should be looking for a new job. If he doesn't want to quit then I would tell him to cultivate a lovely vacant stare. He has told all of these people he does not participate, if they can't hear him, he should fail to hear them when they talk about it. Totally ignore it. If they ask him, he should walk away (even out of his office if necessary).
There are things that drive one nuts at any job - if this is pushing his buttons to the point that he can't simply say "No" and walk away - he may need a total change because I'm betting there are other things happening between him and these co-workers too. It's never just one thing - it's a build up - but this is the easiest one to see and to take hold of because it isn't work related.
That's my take, not knowing the people involved.

Hello. Long time reader, first time commenter, etc.
Probably should have read all the comments, but thought I'd throw in that I sympathize with the "non-Christian" (as I am one, myself), I also agree with Shadoglare. Perhaps it's superficial, but I don't mind putting up a Christmas (*cough* Yule) tree and laying out presents for my daughter because Santa came. It's not so much the religious part of it for me, but the fun of it. It really is just an excuse for me to party if up. Sort of like Cinco de Mayo. I'm not Mexican, but I still find an excuse to go out to a bar and partake.

Yeah there's probably some of what Ktreva said too... if this person doesn't accept their offers... they feel *rejected* - Can't have that!

She LIVES!
With Jeebus returning to Northern Illinois, miracles are happening. My long lost, and presumed retro aborted blog spawn, Virtue of The Rantings of an Indentured Servant has arose from the grave.
I've seen her around as she is a friend, re-enacting buddy and babysitter, but I thought her blogging days were done. Head on over and welcome her back to the land of the living. Maybe this time around I can keep her on life support.
Samuel Adams Winter Lager.
Tonight IÂ’m reviewing a beer by another company IÂ’ve never reviewed before, Samuel Adams. IÂ’ve never been a huge Sam Adams fan, but when I went to the store they were the only winter beer they had that I hadnÂ’t already sampled. Thus leaving us Samuel Adams Winter Lager as the choice.
It comes in a 12 oz brown bottle. This one has the signature of Samuel Adams cast on the bottle where it starts to narrow into the neck. The main label is done in blue and white with the name of the beer taking up much of the label. There is a small picture of Samuel Adams hoisting a stein at the bottom. Four snowflakes also grace the label.
When poured into a glass you can appreciate the nice dark amber color. Light passes through the body easily; there is no cloudiness at all. It poured almost no head at all. I even tried to pour it so as to create more head just so I could discern the color. What filmy head that did form quickly faded to nothing. There isnÂ’t even a ring around the edge of the glass.
There is a nice caramel malt scent to the beer. ItÂ’s not very strong, but it is the only prominent scent you can get. If you concentrate you get a hint of prunes or plums. The scent of alcohol can also be detected. When drank, the flavor is much like the scent. Caramel malts are the primary flavor with just a touch of prunes and a slight hop bitterness that finishes well. The aftertaste is very mild and doesnÂ’t last very long.
It is a medium bodied beer with a light carbonation to it. ItÂ’s very easy to drink and would probably go well with most holiday meals. At 5.8% alcohol by volume itÂ’s surprising at how mellow it really is.
Overall this beer pleasantly surprised me. I thought it was well worth the drink and wouldnÂ’t mind drinking another. Overall IÂ’m giving this a 6 out of 10.

So does that mean I have redemption for the Monty Python's Holy Ale. After all, I did suggest this beer when you first started the holiday/winter beers.

You are the angry type when drunk, and you can't help but be violent towards perfect strangers. Unfortunatly for you one of those strangers is a kung fu master.
Tonight's lessons.
So I took the boys out shopping tonight so they could buy Christmas gifts for Ktreva and their grandmothers. It was really interesting. I learned a couple of very interesting lessons.
The first is that when we went into a store (can't mention the name as it will give away a gift meant for KTreva) it had a very strong feminine scent to it. Ie perfume, scented soaps, etc. Apparently the boys loved the scent as much as I did. Listening to a four and fourteen year old gag in harmony to their father was amusing to me. Also when a man with two boys walking into a store for women filled with nothing but women, you stick out like... well three guys at a feminist convention. We got a lot of strange looks. Especially when someone made the comment, "It stinks in here, doesn't it." I did apologize.
The second lesson is that I need to have a talk with whomever has been teaching Clone jingle bells. They need to make sure he has a better understanding of the lyrics or at least enunciates better while singing it. All night he kept singing Jingle Bells. At first I blew it off until I noticed someone snicker. I thought they were just laughing because it was kind of cute. Then I heard what Clone was singing. The actual lyric is "In a one-horse open sleigh" Clone was singing " In a whore's slurping pay."
Yeah, and he wouldn't stop. Even after I tried to help him enunciate it better.
Drunken days are here again!
The great an honorable T1G of Drunken Wisdom is finally coming to roost back here in the the good ol' Northern Illinois area for a period of time. He's put up an agenda of some of his places he's going to be. I'd like to see some, if not all of you join us at least one of the times. It's the time of year for family and friends... well at least friends.
Bad movies gone good?
Yesterday I went over to ShadoglareÂ’s dwelling for what we dub Cheesy Movie day. Basically people bring over a slew of B-movies or ones that are so bad they are good. We watch them to find the rare gem that is the truly great B-movie. We had a slew of movies to choose from, but here are the ones we ended up watching.
Cannibal: The Musical (AKA Alferd Packer: The Musical). ItÂ’s almost too bad we started out the day with this movie as it was the best cheesy movie of the day. It was made by Trey Parker and Matt Stone while they were in college. So this was before their South Park days. ItÂ’s not out on video apparently, but somehow Shadoglare obtained a copy of it. This was absolutely hilarious! If you get a chance to see, itÂ’s one shpadoinkle of a movie!
The Legend of the 7 Golden Vampires. Okay, itÂ’s a cheesy kung-fu movie with vampires and zombies. It really made no sense and to be honest I was pretty bored with it. I ended up dozing off a couple of times. I like cheesy kung-fun movies, but this one didnÂ’t do anything for me.
Dorm of the Dead. This is a movie I brought. It was bad. Before the opening credits we had zombie kills, and up skirt shot and boobies. I, uh, well we all did, thought I had gotten zombie pr0n. The acting was horrible, the cinematography was awful and the writing was horrendous.
Flight of the Living Dead. Okay, when I first heard about this movie I figured it couldnÂ’t be more than 15-20 minutes long. Zombies on a plane, thereÂ’s not much more that can happen. You have an outbreak and with in 15 minutes the flight is overrun with the undead. To be honest, this was the second best movie of the day. It was done really well and the way they did it, they filled an hour and a half with zombie goodness. I will say that when the outbreak finally happened, the plane was overrun in 15 minutes. (we timed it). It may not be a top 20 zombie movie, but if you like that genre itÂ’s worth watching.
Space Truckers. Okay, we debated if this was really a b-movie with such actors as Dennis Hopper and Stephen Dorf as main characters. ItÂ’s cheesy, but I donÂ’t think it was a b-movie. I enjoyed watching it, but it really is stupid, especially the square pigs. I think they could have done this better, but hey it was made 10 years ago and it didnÂ’t last in the theaters very long.
Overall we had some good movies and we had some bad ones, but they were all enjoyable. Half the fun was making fun of the movies while watching them.
How most holiday accidents happen.
Guys, make sure you get the right gift for that special woman in your life this year. You don't want to end up like one of these fools.
Yea.. unless they ask for it, any of these gifts are bad!
