No, really.
Whenever I am in that state where I just can’t function and just need a good laugh, there are a couple of sites I can go to that just cheer me up long enough to stumble back to bed. Mr Fab’s Neighborhood is one of those and right now he’s having a cleavage contest you should go check out.
19 bloggers have pictures posted of their tits, you have to match each blogger to the photo for a chance at $50. Sweet deal. Look at boobs, get paid. That’s the kind of job I really need. I keep telling my waitresses the same thing and for some reason they started jacking their jaws about sexual harassment. All that legal mumbo jumbo just takes the fun out of all kinds of shit.
Anyway, I may go over tomorrow and make several uneducated guesses. I do know that (or at least think) that V is Mr Fab himself. Not that I have ever seen Mr Fab’s tits or anything, mind you. At least not in public. There was that time though…
We are the perverts in your neighborhood

Custom Photo Cards
I am pretty awful about sending cards when it’s time for people’s birthdays, anniversaries, Christmas, etc…I am much better at sending emails and thank you notes that way. I don’t think it’s the cards that I have a hard time sending, it’s just about anything in an envelope for some reason. I pay 99% of my bills online and the other one or two on the phone before I will mail them. That doesn’t mean that I think cards are bogus though. Just look at the custom Photo Greeting Cards that CardsDirect has for instance.
I really like the photo cards. If the picture is well done then sending out photo cards during the holidays is a really cool idea. CardsDirect.com has over 70 different designs of greeting cards to choose from and some of them have really nice designs. I prefer the full color photo without any borders or doo-dads myself.
You can get a box of 100 for a little over $100 and while that may sound like a lot, think about it. When is the last time you printed out $100 photos on your inkjet printer and how many photo cartridges did it take? Not only that but it’s not just the photo, it’s the whole card, inside and out. The time and money I would save by ordering from CardsDirect make it worth the small expense. Heck, I might even get them in the mail rather than just sitting in a box in the top of my closet like the last Christmas Cards I bought.
A Two Handed Drinker
Damn. Now that was a good nap.
I hadn’t planned on sleeping but it just turned out that way.
The wife and girls went to church for supper tonight. Now before you say it, “Gawrsh, they let the Miles household into church!”, the girls particularly enjoy it. The wife isn’t exactly church-going and I would rather have my toenails ripped out of my feet with a pair of pliers than have to sit through a sermon. Except for all that God clap-trap and preaching church is OK I guess. I always felt that it was a good place for the kids and the social environment. Unless you go to one of those snake handling places, I guess.
I used to attend church as a kid with my great aunt. Speaking of whom, I don’t remember if I have posted this or not but it’s me at around 3 and my great aunt.
I see that I must have posted it before, it was already on my server.
Anyway, her health isn’t too great. She’s eightiy something, has diabetes, glaucoma, heart problems, has broken her hip at least once, is pretty much blind because of the glaucoma and is in generally piss poor health. I really need to drive in to Atlanta and see her soon but I hate too because she has changed so much mentally over the last couple of years. Not for the good either. I actually get two days off next week for the first time since before I went to Nassau in the middle of February, perhaps I will make the trek to Atlanta then.
While Atlanta is on my mind, the Georgia Renaissance Festival is happening soon. The last couple of years we have made it an annual thing and year before last we left the kids with babysitters and had a freaking blast. This past year even Zonker met us down there. Normally I end up going toward the last weekend but this year I am off the weekend of April 12th and 13th. As it stands now I am planning on being at the renaissance festival with beer in hand on Saturday the 12th. If you have a compelling reason why I should change it to Sunday, let me know as I am flexible. It would be pretty cool to get a couple of bloggers down there. This year they have the Royal Lipizan Stallions show and that’s supposed to be pretty cool. Photo opps abound!
I thought I had some photos from last years ren fest up on Flickr but apparently not. I have solved that world issue and here are some of the photos from last years jaunt to south of Atlanta. Mind you, some of the pictures were on my phone. I may get around to sending them to flickr one of these days.
Updated – oops, I just pasted the photo link, forgot all about that img src crap…
I told him nobody should drink two at a time, but do you think anyone fucking listens to me? Oh, hell no!
GPS Tracking
Supposedly my Freedom Keychain GPS device that I picked up last year while I was still using my Samsung i760 will work with the Blackberry Pearl. I know the GPS device does work because I have gotten it to partner with my computer as well as my old cell phone, but for the life of me I can’t seem to get it to work with my Blackberry. It’s not a hugely important detail in the grand scheme of things, but I have spent several hours off and on over the last week trying to get the thing to sync up and just can’t do it. I am at a loss right now and seriously considering getting something else. The idea of having a GPS receiver and being able to use it with mapping programs is just really cool.
Something else that’s pretty cool are the devices that Land Air Sea produces. Their GPS Tracking Key is a small device that picks up signals from the DOF GPS satellites and records the location every second. It’s pretty cool that it can get your location within about eight feet. Eight Feet!
You download the data by plugging it into the USB port of a computer and using something like Google Earth you can see where someone or something has been. Since it’s small it’s easily concealable and the magnet is strong enough to be placed under a car. It’s also water resistant as well.
Last year the GPS Tracking Key helped to solve a murder. George Ford’s wife thought that he was having an affair and placed on in his car. Originally he had been charged with reckless endangerment but after getting the data from the GPS Tracking Key the Chenango County Police charged him with murder.
There’s other reasons to have something like this besides cheating husbands. Three words. Teens with cars. That’s enough to make me want tracking devices, cameras, all kinds of stuff on a car. I can also see where it would come in handy if you have a fleet of cars or trucks as well. The device records how fast you travel, the directions you are facing, how long you are stationary and the route you travel. Using just those four things you can extrapolate all kinds of other information as well. Pretty cool if you ask me.
Runaway Bride in the News Again
Remember old big eyes Jennifer Wilbanks? She’s back in the news again, indirectly.
If you don’t remember, Jennifer and John Mason were to be married and she disappeared just a few days before the wedding. She turned up later in New Mexico after Gwinnett County authorities had wasted countless hours looking for her. She said she had been kidnapped and raped. That turned out to be a lie, she just had cold feet.
She ended up pleading no contest to telling authorities a phony story, did two years of probation and community service.
The two lovebirds ended their relationship shortly afterward and then filed lawsuits against each other, which they dropped later on.
So why’s she in the news again? Her ex-, John Mason was married this weekend at his parent’s home in Duluth, Georgia.
