Apparently it was a slow news day…

Man, this sucks. They need to drag this guy behind the damned van for a few hundred yards and let angry rottweilers chase him.

Talk about Christian brotherly love.

A while back I had posted about those four girls that died in an SUV crash because the driver had allegedly been texting and driving at the same time. I made some comment about teenagers and retards being the only one who send text message whilst driving. Zonker piped up in my comments and said that he drives and texts while driving. Although I felt bad I made a pithy comment about him needing to make sure that he wears clean underwear while driving (because you never know when you are going to be in an accident.)

So I’m driving down the road and I see this dude with one hand on the wheel and the other sending text messages on his phone. Was he texting his lovely wife? Maybe something horrendous had happened at home! There must have been some unavoidable emergency and he was racing to the scene to render aid… Perhaps he was frantically running from the murderous thugs in the sedan behind him? Nope. None of the above.

He was sending text messages to Twitter. I saw this retard in my rear view mirror and he looked amazingly like me!

Sometimes you just have to eat your fucking words.

Twitter Kills

Technorati : Twitter

Divers have pulled another body out of the wreckage of the freeway bridge in Minnesota and there are still nine survivors in area hospitals, five of them is serious condition.

It’s still too early for investigators to really point to anything as to the cause, but they are saying of course that if they find anything glaring that other states need to know they will report it.

It looks like things are going to actually work out so that I can go to Helen again this year. I was worried that it was going to be the same weekend as the race in Talladega but that is the preceding weekend. My manager that is going to have a vacation that month is willing to wait until the following week to take his vacation as well.

Very cool. The wife has already reserved us a cabin so with that and the impending trip to South Carolina next month for my son’s graduation from Marine Corps Boot Camp I have been busy trying to make just as much money as possible, both at work as well as online, thus all of the extra posting lately of stuff, both paid ads as well as the normal stuff. From the looks of things I will pass the number of posts I wrote last month well before the middle of this month. Not a huge deal, but it can be time consuming.

One cool thing is that someone else contacted me about taking out some text ads on the sidebar. Hell, If I could get enough of those I would just go back to blogging about whatever and leave the paid ads for my other two sites which are set up a little better for it.

We are going to have to decide pretty soon where we are going to stay up there. I am somewhat nervous about that. I initially figured that we would either just get a hotel room or stay with our friend in Bluffton, but the brother in law is wanting to rent a bid-assed cabin on the beach. Sounds pretty cool, but I don’t particularly want to get fucked with a $2000 bill for something like that. I need to get online and reserve a car as well now that I think about it. I am going to be taking my last vacation of the year that week, so that will be nice. It will be cool to have the boy home even if it’s just for a little while.

…not in the individual stores of course but at the corporate office they finally got a decent financial reporting software to work with. It’s about time. Including our franchisees we have over 1500 restaurants now and it’s much harder to keep track of things once a company starts growing like that. I find that really amazing sometimes because when I started we had just a smidge over 500 stores including all of our franchisees around the country.
