The plan is for the federal government to take a 60 percent ownership stake in the new GM. The Canadian government would take 12.5 percent, with the United Auto Workers getting a 17.5 percent share and unsecured bondholders receiving 10 percent. Existing GM shareholders are expected to be wiped out.
Chrysler did this back in April, and when they did I was annoyed that the government feels the need to own and operate businesses. I vowed at that time to never own a Chrysler product again, but that wasnÂ’t a big deal because I vowed that when I was in college and IÂ’ve never seriously looked at buying anything ever made by Chrysler.
I’ve owned Fords and GM products, and other than Ford cars, I’ve been happy with them. I’ll never own another Ford car after the catastrophes that were the two previous ones I owned. Now I know some of my readers will throw magazine reviews and statistics compiled by “independent” sources, but honestly my experiences with the Ford car division and others that I know that own them pretty trump what ever I read in a magazine from a person I don’t know. Ford trucks I’ll swear by, they’re a good sturdy truck.
With GM now out of the running, when it comes time to get replace either my truck or KtrevaÂ’s van, I know it wonÂ’t be with a vehicle made by GM or Chrysler. IÂ’m not buying a vehicle from a government owned company. Oh, and now that they are partially owned by the Canadian Government as well, IÂ’m definitely not buying from a foreign government.
Fortunately it will be years before I have to buy a new vehicle.

This really doesn't surprise me. People anymore have no respect for each other, they only care about themselves. Well it seems most people are that way. I feel for the employee's family. What a horrible, horrible way to lose a family members. Especially since they are going to have a brutal reminder every year after Thanksgiving.

Common courtesy, like common sense, is dead in our society. Jag-offs everywhere think it's just dandy to assault someone rather than let the other person get that HOLY-day gift. They don't think about, nor care about anyone other than themselves.
Whenever I hear someone talk about "the inherent goodness of people", I say bullshit. As a rule, people are selfish, spiteful, greedy, animals, with but a few exceptions.

Product Placement Hell
Over the last year I've noticed more and more product placements in everything from movies to TV shows. It's gotten pretty annoying when they change the flow of a whole show just to pimp out the fact that Dunken Donuts sells coffee (ALA USA's Psych).
1
OK, I was scared there for a moment. When I was a Trop, my friend's job was gettin' those placements. I really didn't want to call and tell her she made THAT list.
But..it sure does work. When we made Will & Grace, sales shot up, of exactly that product shown, by 26%. I remember it very clearly. We were ALL amazed....

Guys, do you have a hard time finding the perfect gift for that special someone in your life. I always say, "You can never go wrong with jewelry." Well that was until today. Because today I found OctopusME! Jewelry made from REAL Octopus!
Thank you so much for stopping by the OctopusME! Store where most of the jewelry is made from REAL Octopus!!
The Octopus is a symbol of Transformation and Regeneration. Because of its reputation of changing colors to match its backgrounds, the octopus is also known as the Master of Disguise. Octopuses also have the power to regenerate. If an octopus loses an arm in battle it can grow a new one. Some can even detach and arm to distract predators and then grow another! Don't mess with the octopus because they can stun or kill you with one poisonous bite. The poison is called tetrodotoxin which is the same as Fugu, the puffer fish served in Japan. So treat your Octopus with Love!
Dirty Fingers Rock!!! : )
(o)(o)(o) (suction sound)
OctopusME!
Emphasis mine.
Yea, I'm not thinking any of the ladies that I know would want something like this. Really, I don't.

I found my hell.
I had a strange dream last night. It started off good and then went straight to hell. And not any hell, but I think this is my personal hell.
It started off as me getting a job as a professional re-enactor, and it paid really well! I even got to portray a Jacobite! All was perfect until my first day at work. Upon arrival at job it was a horrible mess. They had a timeline of 1558 to 1780. And everyone was just jumbled together. They had Elizabethan era people mixed with Revolutionary War solders.
Then to make matters worse, it was mostly people that I work with now. All the ones I'm having issues with. In fact the director of our office WAS Queen Elizabeth. They kept having me walk around with her to my protest. It didn't matter how much I pointed out that a 1746 Jacobite would NOT be with Queen Elizabeth. Much like real life, my opinion didn't matter even though I had facts that backed it up.
I kept getting excuses like, "But the public likes you two together. The way you act like you hate the English and her being all regal is funny." I think I almost had an aneurysm in my sleep. Then it was I couldn't carry my sword with me because It's not safe, they made me carry a Styrofoam one. It just kept getting worse and worse... THEY MADE ME WASH ME WAISTCOAT AND LEGGINGS!
When I tried to quit they brought out my contract and showed me that I couldn't quit unless I wanted to pay them 10 million dollars. That's when I woke up in a cold sweat screaming.

Sounds like you were at Fort Koskanong, or a countless number of other events. I sort of have the same dream, but instead I write for a reenacting magazine and was fired for calling certian events Farbie. And now every time I show up at an event, some points at me and says,"Didn't you used to be Wil Crouch?"
So don't worry it will be all right.

Delivery denied.
Back in March, Spurs of the apparently defunct Pull My Finger, was able to get me a copy of the Sports Illustrated limited edition Brett Favre memorial issue. They sold out around here in a matter of minutes when they hit the stands. When I had that highly coveted magazine in my hands, I promised I would send him a couple bottles of Dragon's Milk and a six pack of one of my higher rated beers in appreciation. Finally after months of waiting, my contact got me my case of Dragon's Milk and I picked up a six pack of the Edmund Fitzgerald Porter.
Armed with an address, two bottles of Dragon's Milk and a six-pack of the porter, I hit a local shipping store. Where I am promptly told, "You can not legally ship beer." WHAT?!?!?!?! I can't ship beer? It seems that it's illegal to ship beer. Instead of driving all over town I called three other places and received the same information. GUH!!!! WHY?
I'm still working on it, I may have to get sneaky, sneaky, but dammit... I'm a man of my word and he's getting his well deserved beer!

Actually this was addressed recently on the WinginIt 3D podcast that I listen to, as they actually get beer shipped to them all the dang time from listeners. Uhh.... incognito.
As I recall, they were saying that to ship it, each bottle should be individually wrapped and shipped in the original six-pack or whatever it came in, packed into a plan shipping box, and then the contents labeled as "hops."
If you'd like I can see if I can dig up that specific episode again...

Most places won't ship wine either anymore.
It's called compeition, other places want you to buy your alcohol where you live not other places where it's cheaper.
And, at least in my area, you do not have to tell the post office what you are shipping. Just wither it's breakable or not.

Talking with the different delivery places I've gotten the same story. They have a special shipping permit for alcohol. If you have one of those you can then ship stuff.
From what I've found, Quality Weenie is right. It seems most of this is so that people are buying stuff locally or ensuring they are not having alcohol shipped to them from someplace where it is cheaper.

Heh - I didn't ask, I just did it. Someone in Hawaii wanted some beer that they don't sell there, for her hubby returning from deployment, so I wrapped some bottle up real well, and shipped 'em off. They were much enjoyed :-)
Really, that's the best defense you could come up with?
When I saw this headline I thought it was a joke. Man Claims Bigfoot Molested.
A man who claims that he was molested by Bigfoot as a child was ordered to serve 20 years in prison yesterday for his own molestation-related activities...
...Morrill reportedly told an investigator preparing his pre-sentence report that he had been sexually assaulted by the legendary Bigfoot.
Patton said Morrill really believes the assaulted happened. "I take him very seriously because I know Mr. Morill has issues," said Patton.
I've heard of a lot of different defenses. I've heard a lot of different accusations. But Bigfoot molested me as a child is why I molest children is just stupid. Yet, it today's society that may be enough to get the guy an insanity plea.

Pissed off.
I know I'm supposed to do the beer review tonight, but honestly I'm not in the mood to do it. I just got off the phone with Comcast about our new internet/cable service and they have my blood boiling.
We had Insight, but then Comcast bought them out. They have been telling everyone how great they are going to be when they finally take over for at least 5 months now. They've been sending us items telling us when it was going to happen and that the transition should be seamless. HA!
Today I get a mailer saying that the channels we have are changing, and so are the packages. I was confused so I called them to see how big of a change it was going to be. Long story short, in order to keep the channels I want to watch, my cable bill is going to be about $45 dollars more a month and I'm going to get a crap load of channels I don't want.
While trying to research this I had to switch my e-mail for our internet over to their account. That was less than exciting as it didn't work like they said it would. Nothing transfered properly. Comcast tech support said I had to call Insight. Insight said they had nothing to do with our area anymore and I had to work with Comcast. Two hours later and Clone learning interesting phrases like, "Cum gurgling gutter slut" along with various other curses because I was hung up on twice by Comcast, we finally came to a work around that didn't fix the problem, but masked it.
Now at this point I'm just really not in the mood to gently drink a beer and have a review. No, now I'm in the mood to go drink some really potent and cheap liquor... if you know what I mean.
I promise the review will be done tomorrow baring any further complications.

Do you have an option for Verizon Fios? You might look into it see if they do internet and tv in your area.

Comcast was the BANE OF MY EXISTANCE for about 7 months. It actually got to the point a month ago where i told them to piss off and shut off my service. I am moving in a month, i have netflix, and i don't need the hassle or the distraction during finals.
If you can, switch to a dish and dsl, i know dish and direct tv are both paired with a respective dsl company. Save yourself a whole lot of hassle.

How stupid are people?
Reality shows, we've all seen one at one time. Some of you may have only seen bits and pieces of them while others are hooked on a dozen or so of them. Either way it's mindless television for the masses. When the writers strike was going on, the only new television were reality shows. They don't need writers or scripting so they could continue to make them.
I'll admit I've watched a couple of them. I was a Survivor fan for many seasons, the last couple have done nothing for me so I quit watching. Occasionally there is another one that comes along and I start watching, like this year. I was bored with re-runs so I turned on The Moment of Truth. The first day watching I told Ktreva, "This show is a divorce waiting to happen." Some of the questions got down right personal and really revealing. Yet, these people would continue to play in order to win money up to $500,000.00.
The premises of the show is that they hook the contestant up to a lie detector prior to the game and ask them a series of True or False questions. During the show they ask them 21 of these questions as the game goes one, as the stakes get higher, the questions get more difficult. If they lie once, they lose all of their money.
In the three episodes I've watched, I've seen people admit to things on national television that really surprises me. Especially since they have their loved ones and friends sitting there watching them. At some point you know that one of these people is going to ruin a relationship by being on this show. What makes it worse in my mind is that the contestants know what they are going to be asked and still go on the show! How stupid or greedy do you have to be?
To prove my point, here is the last three questions asked of Lauren Cleri.
At the Fox site you can see the clip of the questions she was asked, there are quite a few. Even if their marriage was over and she was just looking for the money, why would you admit this to anyone on TV. I mean come on, she's now damaged goods. Would anyone in their right mind want to hire her, or start a relationship with her? The funniest part is that she lost the whole thing when she was asked, "Do you think you are a good person?" and she answered yes, and the detector said no! I want to know what's going on in her peroxided head to believe that, "I lie, cheat, steal and love another man other than my husband, I'm a good person." Actually if it had come up true, it wouldn't surprise me either, it would just prove that she is more selfish and a bigger witch than I already thought she was. At least now I think she feels some remorse for what she did.

He should have said, "Go for it, win the money, and we'll split it in the divorce."

Yeah, I usually don't watch that kind of junk, but I happened to catch like the last 10 minutes of that episode while waiting for the show after it to come on.
And yes, I found myself talking to the TV and exlaiming "Wooo! Just threw your marriage away for nothin'. Nothiiiiiing. Good job!"
Although honestly if she was still obsessing over somebody in her past she shouldn't have gotten married in the first place.

I saw commercials for that show and there is no way I'd ever watch even a minute of it. A bunch of idiots who want their 5 minutes of "fame". I'm not even sure it's the money - they want to be on television in front of a national audience. Well, that audience won't be me. If they want to be fools, I'll let others watch them. ICK!

I only seen that 10 minutes and realized her & her ex deserve each other. If I was to guess her & the ex are already having an affair. Glad she lost she doesn't deserve the husband or the money!
And I thought my management was bad.
Anyone that has ever worked in a cube farm, AKA office, is familiar with the Dilbert comics. Some of them really hit close to home, but for Dave Steward of Fort Madison, IA it summed up his feelings about management. So he posted it on the bulletin board at work and fired for it.
Steward, 50, a resident of Fort Madison, was fired by the casino last fall after seven years of employment. He had posted on an office bulletin board a "Dilbert" strip in which the protagonist compares his bosses to a bunch of "drunken lemurs."
Well I can understand the posting of the comic, I feel that way about my managers at time, especially now.
Casino managers were not amused. By reviewing surveillance tapes, they determined that Steward was responsible for posting the cartoon. They fired him and accused him of not being a "team player."
For posting a comic he's not a team player? I'd think if he blatantly and openly ridiculed management, that would be not a team player but not this.
As a result of this, Scott Adams (Dilbert's Creator) caught wind of the situation and has dedicated recent strips to making fun of the entire situation, in true Dilbert fashion.
In a new series of "Dilbert" comics that begins today, Steward's bosses — represented by the strip's infamous Pointy-Haired Boss — are lampooned for their actions. Steward is depicted by Wally, the strip's bespectacled, coffee-swilling office drone. Steve Morley is portrayed by Catbert, the evil human resources director.

The carbon monoxide makes it taste great!
I love grilling. Hell I even think I'm fairly decent at it. Nothing that I would brag about, but I do take a certain amount of pride in the fact that friends and family ask me to do the grilling for special occasions. Yet, I just can't get past this. little invention.
Your car exhaust is a barbeque now.. Stop the car when you are hungry, install the device to the exhaust and back to drive,, You'll have a hamburger in no time. This way you don't need fuel for cooking while commuting and a large amount of energy would be saved.
Seriously, have we gotten so lazy that we need to cook meat while we are driving? What if you get stuck in heavy traffic, will you have a chunk of charcoal? Would anyone ever use something like this.
I know that the exhaust doesn't directly heat the burger, it's just used to heat the metal, but still. I can't picture this as tasting very good. Plus the clean up seems like it would be a pain the butt.
BAH!
I love cold weather, but dammit this is starting to harsh my mellow. Right now it is -7 with a windchill of -23. Which would be fine if I was staying inside, but I wanted to go shooting today. I was going to take some friends out to the range and have some fun. Since the only good ranges that I can get on are at least an hour to an hour and a half away, I called them to make sure they were open. One of them actually states to call before coming as they may not open if the weather is bad.
Sure enough the first one I called said they where not going to open today due to the temperatures just for safety reasons. They are an all outdoor range. The other has a heated outdoor area, but they are further north. They say they are pretty much open all the time. Just to play it safe I called them and the guy I spoke with said that they were currently open, but they are thinking of closing shortly because of the weather.
I decided not to risk the drive for a closed range. Called my friends and canceled the trip. We'll have to reschedule for a different weekend. What sucks about this is that it's been an annual tradition to go shooting on Martin Luther King JR weekend for years. BAH!
At least now I'll be able to stay home and watch both games.

It's not like it's the Holy Grail.
I don't subscribe to Sports Illustrated because I only follow football and to be honest I don't care about what they do the rest of the year. Yet, on occasion, I find that I want to get a copy of their magazine so I can read the stories. This week happens to be one of those occasions. Brett Favre is on the cover. It's a picture taken from last weeks game.
I've been all over looking for this issue and I can't find it anywhere. Apparently all these collectors and wannabe fans are snatching them up hopping they will be worth something some day. These jerks also prevented me from getting the December 10th issue.
So if there are any of you out there that can find either one and want to buy it for me, I'd be really grateful!
I'm wearing shorts!
The weather here has been crazy the last couple of days. Yesterday Rockford Hit 60 degrees, and on the ride home tonight I hear we set a record high for today at 63 degrees. 63 degrees in January, okay... that's just wrong. To make matters worse we had a severe thunderstorm come through that produced a tornado. Yes, a tornado in Northern Illinois in January. This is just freaky.
A popular local attraction was destroyed by the tornado, or so the news says. My main thing is that I haven't heard from Graumagus. His house is out in the area the tornado touched down. One of the news reports I heard advised that some of the houses in his community were damaged. Nothing serious, but there was some storm damage. I'm sure everything is okay with him and his family, but it sure would be nice to hear from him just to know for sure.

Privacy lost.
I get home tonight and I have an e-mail from my friend Smokepoles telling me that Google has implemented a new feature that allows you to put in a phone number and if you search you're able to find the information of the numbers owner. I had heard this before, but never saw it work... until tonight. I went out and sure enough I entered my number and up popped my first initial, last name, city and state. At first I wasn't too concerned, you really can't get too much from that, but I decided to remove it anyway. As I was going through the remove process, Google linked me to some other sites that also do reverse number look ups. Two of them, WhitePages.com and PhoneNumber.com not only gave out my full name, but also my wive's name, our home address and directions on how to get here. For the last forty minutes I've been on a rampage having all of my information removed from these sites.
So if you are a little concerned about privacy, you might want to check and see if you are listed on any of these.
1
It should only be available if your number is listed anyway... I just put mine in, and Google can't find it.
But yeah, if you *are* listed, you can put in a name, and it'll give you their address, phone number, and frikkin' directions to their house.

Anger Patrol
Have you ever been so mad that youÂ’ve wanted to kill someone? IÂ’m not talking about a friend doing something to piss you of and you say youÂ’re going to kill them. No I mean go home, get a weapon and go hunt the individual down type of anger?
IÂ’ve never been that way and could never fathom how someone could get that madÂ… until yesterday. IÂ’m not going to go into details, just to protect parties involved, mainly me. However I will tell you that someone for the last couple of days has really been pissing me off. Yesterday it was so bad I finally realized that I wanted to go home, grab an axe off the wall and dismember this individual into bite size chunks for stray dogs.
At first I thought it was just a stray thought, then I found myself actually contemplating it. Finally I ended up having to convince myself that it was a bad idea. A VERY bad idea. It took a long time to convince myself that ridding the world of this individual would probably have some serious repercussions on my family. Yet here I sit still thinking about itÂ… and contemplating on how to dispose of the body in a way that would be hard to track back to me.

I'm doing good, but damn, it's still hard. I have the perfect weapon, no one even knows I own anything like it and there is no way it could be traced back to me if they found it after I "disposed" of it.

Oh, I have a really, really good imagination and a knack for revenge. I've even been told I'd have a room full of people swear I was with them in a bar in New Orleans the whole evening.
Yes, I've been there. I've actually been there far too long now... So long, in fact, it's difficult to leave.
If you can, try to set it down before it takes control of you. I promise - it's not something you want to be carrying around five years later... The heavier it gets, the harder it is to let-go. (This I know firsthand.)
Like you, talking about it - even under a barely anonymous blog pseudonym - makes it less likely that I'll actually do anything. I don't give a flying f#$k about the repercussions to myself - but the impact on my family would be devastating.

Why no, Contagion, I've never felt like that. Why do you ask?

Don't recall ever feeling that way about a person. Wanted to blow up a few buildings.
And for disposal, all you need is a big pit of hog manure.
