Post Christmas apathy

Well, the big day has come and gone. We enjoyed the opportunity of the past weekend, Christmas eve and Christmas day to visit with friends and family. The gifts have all been unwrapped and the daughter now has enough to keep her occupied until at least when she has to return to school. Today is a let down because there really isn't much to do other than wade into the leftovers or take out the paper for recycling. I didn't want the leftovers because I am still trying to deal with all that went down my gullet on the holiday. And after almost five days of overstimulation with parties and get-togthers it is just too quiet....

I hope Everyone had a wonderful Christmas

These little videos are Just WRONG!! but yet so funny. ENJOY!!!!!

Other Bloggers who are having one of "Those days"

Here are a few links to some fellow bloggers who are feeling the Holiday season.
Warning,
Don't drink your coffee or favorite beverage while reading because you will probably end up making a mess of your keyboard and desk.

First up, a Mommy blogger who's writing is hilarious. Crystal, like the rest of us, is struggling to make the holidays a memorable family tradition. I think she has succeeded beyond her wildest dreams.

Next up, a fellow Bubble-head SUBVET is feeling the pain of domestic tranquility with life after the "BOAT".

And Finally, Fellow Submariner, BLUNOZ had one of those days at work, leading to more fun at home.

ENJOY!!

Just another CelebRETARD to influence our children

This morning while the family was having breakfast and doing the morning routine, the news program ran a fluff piece about Jamie Lynn Spears, the 16-year-old "Zoey 101" star and the fact that she is pregnant. The CNN article online was even more of a bit of fluff with a quote by Ms Spears

"It was a shock for both of us, so unexpected," she said. "I was in complete and total shock and so was he."

WTF

Seems like if your going to be doing the tube snake boogie, you might possibly foresee that one of the possible consequences would be pregnancy. She is further quoted taking the moral high ground on teen pregnancy

"I definitely don't think it's something you should do; it's better to wait," she told the magazine. "But I can't be judgmental because it's a position I put myself in."

Well, Another brilliant and deep thought from a member of the entertainment industry. I guess it goes to show you that you can take the girl out of the trailer park but...


Now we have another contender for dumb bimbo of the week, Too bad she will have to compete against Sis and her antics. Even worse, being the holidays and slow on the news front I am sure that the MSM will beat this to death.

Now if the world was really a fair and just place, a New York Times article brings up the fact that

one angle that hasn’t figured in the coverage. The father of the child is variously reported to be 18 or 19 years of age, and she is 16. We don’t know exactly where they were 12 weeks ago, and frankly don’t want to — but prosecutors might. In Louisiana, where they both live, the age of consent is 17, and what obviously must have gone on between them might qualify as criminal carnal knowledge of a juvenile in that state — either a felony or misdemeanor, depending on just how old he is.
In California, where she stays while the show is being shot, the age of consent is 18, and the relevant charge would be unlawful sexual intercourse, a misdemeanor.

I do know as the father of a daughter, my tactic for deterring gentlemen callers when she reaches that age will kill the first few and pike the heads in the yard. The better half doesn't agree.. But a thought just the same.

Some Holiday Cheer - Trailer House Style

What I want for Christmas (as if you care)

With the holidays at hand, The better half and myself have been getting the random phone calls from family members and friends with the question of "What do you want for Christmas." Now to begin with I am not a fan/supporter/enthusiast of Christmas and all the orgy of consumerism that forced upon us with the occasion. Family gatherings, kids getting a few toys and gifts, that I don't mind.. But myself, if I want it and can afford it, I usually take it upon myself to do so not waiting until this time of year. So, no, there are no Tools on the list (My tools are a very personal purchase. They have to feel "right" before they go home with me) No clothes. No gadgets or bells or whistles.

Hell, IF you know me the list is a no brainer.

SO here it is With pictures

A bottle of good Bourbon/Scotch or other whiskey



A four or six of this



And a Pack or carton of these to go with the above beverage

Yeah, Not to most politically correct list, or healthy, but honest

Merry Christmas

My favorite Christmas Skit

I thought WD 40 was the ultimate

The boat life and family have eaten up a significant amount of time to blog, added with the fact that (I couldn't remember my blogger pass word) I was suffering from some technical difficulties. I took bothenook's advice about taking time to decompress after time out at sea. But the following from the North West is too funny not to share.

SOUTH KITSAP
A 66-year-old man shot himself in both his legs Saturday afternoon while trying to loosen a stubborn lug nut with a 12-gauge shotgun.
Kitsap County sheriff's deputies were called to the residence on the 10800 block of SE Olympiad Drive at 2:57 p.m. after the shooting was reported to 911 emergency dispatchers, said Deputy Scott Wilson, a sheriff's office spokesman.
"Nobody else was there and he wasn't intoxicated," Wilson said.
South Kitsap Fire and Rescue medics treated the man at the scene. He was taken to Tacoma General Hospital. Wilson said his injuries were "severe but not life-threatening."
Deputies at the scene reported the man blasted "double-ought" buckshot at the wheel from "arm's length," Wilson said.
The deputies described the man's legs as "peppered" from his feet to his mid-abdomen with pellets, pieces of the wheel and other debris. Some injuries went as far up as his chin.
The man had been repairing the Lincoln Continental for two weeks, and had removed all the lug nuts on the right rear wheel except for one.
"He's bound and determined to get that lug nut off," Wilson said, who did not know how long the man had been trying to free the lug nut.
The deputies did not take a statement from the man beyond what they were able to gather while he was being treated by medics.
"I don't think he was in any condition to say anything," Wilson said. "The pain was so severe, and the shock."
