no one told me having a dog was going to be this expensive.. here's "the boy" once again after another spastic injury to the paw.

after the assistance of 3 vet techs, sedatives, and a big check to the vet later, here's our clubfoot in all his glory.

Backroom Logic SXSW

Bathroom Graffiti gets infinitely better during SXSW. Clearly these words of wisdom, at the Backroom, must have been penned pre-SXSW kickoff.

Pardon?

In this point in one's sad 30something existence, one might fall into a state of dispair. What have I really accomplished? Have I wasted all my artistic talents? Is my pointless advertising job sending me straight to hell in a microbrew six pack basket? Am I destined to pander to primadonna, nihilistic copywriters and art directors.. dictatorial biz school grads the rest of my life?

Friends, I'm here to tell you now, my life's work has not been squandered, and I too will rise to be a champion. Perhaps with the help of this man:

His Airness.

Or better yet from his student, now nemesis Her Airness. Please join me in what will truly be a turning point in my life. I'll see you in LA, then Finland.

There's nothing more depressing, than when you find yourself a hardcore alcoholic and none of your friends can drink with you anymore! You know the story, "I have to stay home with the baby", "We can't stay out late", "Our two year old needs to be in bed by 9:00", "We'll need to go home and take the dog out". BAH!

Depressing really.

Then the epiphany hits you. Invite your friends over at noon. Start off by serving multiple martini's, and various meat pockets. By the time your REALLY loaded, the kids will be napping! Hey.. don't be irresponsible, slow down, chugging beer in the backyard, while your dogs destroy most of your landscaping! Time it right, and you'll be too hazey to care. When the kids wake up, put on some drug induced, twisted kids show from those hippy freaks at PBS, that will mesmerize the little ones for an hour. Cap things off by gorging on more meat and cheese, and a full package of potato rolls. Sober up for two hours, in the living room, halting all conversation, and drooling in front of the television. Best thing going, you're hang over will kick in right when it's time to go to bed!!

Ah yes. Victory!
God Bless America

A recent viewer of the "O'Reilly Factor" had this insightful, heartfelt commentary on Bill's recent Wal-Mart story:

"Mr. O'Reilly, if it wasn't for Wal-Mart, I could not have afforded your wonderful book 'The O'Reilly Factor for Kids' for my grandchildren."

- Darlene Thurman, Bonne Terre, Missouri.

WalMart, and O'Reilly reach out to Kids. It brings a tear to the eye really.

Blue Texan?

Holy shit! There's actually a few liberals in the Red State of Texas. Meet Dean, a card carrying liberal. Not only is he a Texas Democrat, he's one that watches Sunday Morning shows, reads Salon.com, the National Review and New Republic.

He's clearly a bit of a geek, but any Democrat-leaning resident in Texas has to respect one another. We're getting cleared out of state quicker than the Mexicans in the 1800's. Please disregard his wishlist, which includes a fondness for Shania Twain and the new Rod Stewart-Stardust.

He also idols the Dude. Enough Said.

Ok so I'm a bit harsh, clearly a cynical bastard that doesn't trust anything til I read the fine print. But I did stumbled upon something interesting after watching another mind-numbing cartoon via yahoo; http://www.jibjab.com/xmas/. JibJabs mildy humorous, not incredibly cerebral, but a guilty pleasure.

So to the point: here's a charitable website that gives gifts to children in Iraq. JibJab is promoting it, and it's created by a Utah National Guard officer serving in Iraq. Being the questioning bastard I am, I dug a bit deeper into what the whole intiative was all about, having visions of a fat Sally Struthers eating peanut butter sandwiches in front of starving people.

What I know so far is that it does seem very legit. It's founder is Mormon perhaps? Not sure. No disrespect to Utah or Mormons, I just don't think we need any holy roller crusaders in a land of religous anarchy. Bottom line, I don't think OperationGive is evangelical in nature. The blogger community also seems to behind it.

So forget the humbug. Check out http://www.operationgive.org/...

Merry Christmas ;)

Parent Wars

I can remember a time when heated arguments among my friends typically centered around a couple of things:
1) Who could drink the most Jagermaester and Dominican Rum without vomiting.
2) The cup size of the angsty bartender who'd been serving us beers for the previous 6 hours.
3) The finer points on why some one was a "pussy" for going home to bed at 4:30AM.

Apparently things have suddenly changed. The subUrban Legend has now sparked an Armageddon of words with this man. God have sweet mercy on our souls. Have they nothing better to discuss?

PS: Rudy is the best dog on planet, and Bogart is a punk-ass chump.

Welcome!

Ok I'm not THAT angry, but a little attitude never hurt no-one?! Stay tuned for rants, raves, and useless commentary.
