This Annoys Me
September 22, 2012Whenever I am driving and come to a light, I always make sure that if I’m in the left lane that I am not behind somebody making a left turn. However, I’ve noticed that many people will sit in the left lane, with no turn signal, then when the light turns green they will turn on their left turn signal. Gosh I want to give these people five across the eyes.

Don’t Tarnish The Family Jewels
September 7, 2012Apparently Prince Harry, who was recently seen buck-assed naked at a party, is now heading to A-stan. Somehow, I don’t think that this was an already planned deployment.
Democrats: Let’s Ban Profits
September 5, 2012Peter Schiff, president of EuroPacific Capital and host of the ‘Peter Schiff Show’, is at the DNC convention. He decided to ask some of the attendees a few questions, one of which was whether we should ban profits. I swear, I’ve never seen people so completely ignorant of economics. Oh well, here’s the video …
Note: Peter Schiff is well aware of how stupid the question is, he was expecting stupid answers in response, and rightly so.

Buckwheat Returns
August 19, 2012Apparently, an MD from Washington state is calling for an end to “the war on pubic hair”. After having compared the pornography of the 70s to that of today, I must say that I find that a good compromise is to be the best course of action. In my mind, both the Yul Brynner and the Buckwheat are a bit too extreme, so there is certainly nothing wrong with a nice landing strip or a Chaplin. It’s… classy.

August 10, 2012Spontaneous Order in Action
August 9, 2012Here is a video of an intersection. The footage on the left is without traffic lights due to a power outage, and the footage on the right is the same intersection the following day when the traffic lights are restored. Just amazing!

Stu, Stu, Studio!
August 4, 2012Here are a few pictures of my “office” while on deployment to the Middle East in 2005. For those of you who aren’t aware, it is pretty unheard of for a 2nd Class Petty Officer (which I was) to have these sort of accommodations on a USN ship, Chief Petty Officers (CPOs) don’t have it this good. Probably the only other guy on the ship that enjoys this much space and freedom to themselves is the Captain himself. I was very fortunate.
Ian, if you are reading this, I just want to say that even though I was not very clear about showing it, I will always have the deepest respect for you. Not only were you a top-notch sonarman, but you were also the best LPO in the Navy, a great mentor who cared, and a friend of the highest caliber. I will never forget all of the things that you’ve done for me.
