A GOOD TRY...NEXT YEAR FOR SURE

Well, Lightning lost game 7 conference finals last night; played hard, but just couldn'g get one past the Bruins goaltender. Kudos to Dwayne Roloson, who did an incredible job last night, and for most of the other games leading up to last night's 1-0 loss.
Better luck next year, guys, and thanks for an incredible post-season (the best in 7 years).

THE REASON FOR NON-RAPTURE

After much research, I’ve discovered the reason behind the rapture NOT happening Saturday…

Monday, May 23, 2011

REALLY?

Harold Camping, the radio preacher who predicted the rapture would occur at 5:59 p.m. on May 21, is "mystified" and "a little bit bewildered" that the event did not take place, according to a board member of Camping's Family Radio International who has spoken with his wife. The 89-year-old preacher does not plan to issue a statement Monday. The board member, Tom Evans, said he believes he public is owed an apology. Robert Fitzpatrick, who spent his life savings on rapture advertising and was profiled in The Daily Beast, told ABC News, "I can't tell you what I feel right now. Obviously, I haven't understood it correctly because we're still here."


 Yeah, I'm mystified too...that anyone would fall for that...

PHYL'S CELL PHONE

So we are now the proud owners of cell phone, mostly for emergencies. Didn't really want one, but Corey got us one for Xmas. After trying it for a few months, gave it up as too hard to use, too expensive, and too many wrong numbers incoming. So I bought her a Jitterbug, but one of the real early models...
Now that's what I call a cell phone!!!

RAPTURE (NOT THE BLONDIE SONG)

 So did you feel the earthquake last night at 6 P.M.?
No? Yeah, neither did I, go figure...

RIP: RANDY 'MACHO MAN' SAVAGE


November 15, 1952 – May 20, 2011 Here in Florida. Besides being a wrestler, he also made a rap-style album, on one song dissing Hulk Hogan (who also lives in Florida and I got to meet at the Renaissance Festival many years ago - and man, is he enormously tall in person!) for making a telephone commercial.
Randy then went on to make a Slim Jim(R) commercial. Go figure.
So up to the wrestling ring in the sky, and have a return match with Andre the Giant & the Iron Sheik, Randy, you know it'll be a good time.

(And snap into a Slim Jim!)

MAN AFTER MY OWN HEART

An atheist and entrepreneur from North Hampshire, Bart Centre, is enjoying a boost in business for Eternal Earth-bound Pets, which he set up to look after the pets of those who believe they will be raptured.

He has more than 250 clients who are paying up to $135 (£83) to have their pets picked up and cared for after the rapture.

They would be disappointed twice, he told the Wall Street Journal. "Once because they weren't raptured and again because I don't do refunds."

 Amen brother!! hahahaha...

END OF THE WORLD?

Well, according to some nutjob, the Rapture begins tomorrow, so I guess that's the start of Armageddon & the end of the world (as we know it, and I feel fine...).
So if you're buying into that, then feel free to put all your cash in an envelope & mail it to me. Drop me a line, and I'll let you know where to send it.
Oh, and of course if (when) it doesn't happen, you can rest assured I'll send you back your cash...
sure I will, really...

WELL, IT'S ABOUT TIME!

CDC Releases Zombie Preparedness Plan

The CDC got people's attention Wednesday when it posted "Preparedness 101: Zombie Apocalypse" online. "If zombies did start roaming the streets, CDC would conduct an investigation much like any other disease outbreak. CDC would provide technical assistance to cities, states, or international partners dealing with a zombie infestation." The blog post was a gag meant to highlight the center's actual emergency plans, for things like hurricane; it was, nevertheless, a huge hit, with both the original blog post and the cached version crashing due to traffic.

WHY BOTHER?

"As Dominique Strauss-Kahn sits under suicide watch at Riker's Island on charges of attempted rape, a Mexican newspaper reports allegations that he also assaulted a maid in Mexico."

(from TheDailyBeast.com)

Which begs the question…why bother. Suicide is a consensual crime & only hurts the person who does it.

So let the sonofabitch off himself and save the taxpayer's money.


I AM THE LIZARD KING...

SERIOUSLY...????

Prime Minister David Cameron and Labour leader Ed Miliband both said the demise of Osama Bin Laden during a raid on his Pakistani compound earlier this month, had made the world a safer place without him and it was a significant step in the fight against global terrorism.

Wider implications

But questions have been asked about the legality of the US special forces mission after it emerged, contrary to initial claims by the White House, that although its operatives came under sustained fire Bin Laden was not armed at the time he was shot.

Seriously, how many of the people in the twin towers and the 4 airplanes were armed??...seriously, what kind of stupid bullshit is that!!

STUPIDEST PHONE CALL EVER???

So I call a company that will go un-named (Suntrust Investment Services - whoops!) to place a trade (on which they make money) and after pushing a button, and another button, get the following:

ring, ring, ring, ring…ring, ring, ring…ring…etc.etc…ring, ring, ring…”We’re sorry, there’s no answer, goodbye” CLICK - WTF!!!

There’s no answer…at 2:30 in the afternoon…and who’s fault is that???

Goodbye - click...

QUALITY IS JOB ONE (OR IS THAT ZERO?)

"Goulds Product News: Cuctomer Service 2nd quarter performance review"


An actual email subject line from a large American Corporation (ITT/Goulds)
Shows you how much they think of customer service, eh?

BIN LADEN

Well, he’s finally gone, and good riddance. Too bad they didn’t get him in the 90s when it would probably have made a big difference.

Unfortunately, at this stage, I don’t think it will change our daily lives - we’ll still be getting asshole inspections at the airport, etc.

But, still, a job well done by the Navy Seals.
