People

I swear every day I see more and more reasons to institute a natural selection law. I do tech support, so I get to see first hand a nice cross section of idiocy in this country. I think there should be a test for being able to have kids. Yeah, the leading cause of death in this country is birth so lets try to stop so much dying by seeing who gets to breed and not breed. You have to have a license to drive a car, get married, get unmarried, fish, by beer, smoke, be a citizen, and so on. So why is it not mandatory that there be a law to prohibit Idiots from breeding???

I know, I hear you saying, "But Rick, Who would decide who gets to have kids and who doesn't?" Easy....I DO. Why because I say so. Jesus! there are people out there who think wrestling is real and that the History in Xena is Accurate. GAHHH!!!

Ok here is my test to see if you can breed.

  1. Have you ever bought a fishing video game?
  2. Do you have a Mullet?
  3. Are you so narrow minded that you think that because people don't think like you they are going to hell?
  4. Are you a member of the KKK?
  5. Can you READ?
  6. Do you think that Puff Daddy is a talented artist?
  7. Do you like Sheryl Crow, any of the numerous boy bands or any of the legion of teenage, blonde, female singers?
  8. Do you think the Holocaust was a lie?
  9. Do you watch fishing shows?
  10. Do more than 3 Jeff Foxworthy Redneck tests apply to you?
  11. Are you retarded?
  12. Do you or have you ever supported Pat Bucanan?
  13. Do you think that because your ancestors were mistreated that society owes you something?
  14. Were you, your parents, and grand parents raised on welfare?
  15. Do you have a child and are not legally an adult?(well you already have bred but NO MORE)
If you answered yes to any of these questions go out and have your tubes tied or do whatever is needed to keep you from breeding until these questions no longer elicite a yes from you.

Girlfriends

Don't you just love girlfriends? Aren't they the friggin best thing in the world. Such an endless source of pain and annoyance. I wish that pill from Braincandy did exist. (You know "Its a pill that gives worms to ex-girlfriends.") If you can't tell my girlfriend, of almost 2 and half years, broke up with me on our anniversary on the rationale that I love you as a friend not a lover. AHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! I....ME.....Got the 'Lets just be friends' speech. Oh well. Love sucks anyway, and I am secretly wishing her cancer in the head at this very moment. I'll get over it.

Damn All Those Celebrities

Man this is something that makes me really pissed off about Oklahoma, hell the U.S.A. period. I am driving home from Oklahoma City and what do I see? Freaking Shannon Miller turnpike. Wha?? This is f*cked up. Shannon Miller gets a turnpike? I have a buddy Phil who fought in Vietnam. He was a helicopter gunner (remeber Rambo 2 and the gun Rambo used to shoot up the base? that is what Phil used an M-60)and got shot down THREE times and survived. He gets most of his internal organs removed because of he got the sh*t kicked out of him when he crashed. He gets to go home after years of hell overseas and is greeted with spit wads and insults. People called him a baby killer and threw fruit and garbage at him when he got off the plane. Now let us see did Phil do a service to his country? YES. Shannon Miller? Well she did keep the world safe from ex-communist gymnasts and knows Dominique Moccianue(sp I don't care cause I hate all olympic gymnasts anyway), so I guess she gets a highway and Phil well he gets jack, but thanks anyway. I can't believe this country. Reward the Heroes not the friggin celebrities. I was actually glad when the Murrah building was bombed because I could see something besides O.J. Simpson and have a chance to see some real life heroes saving kids and people, but no that was not to last I was soon forced to see all the god damn celebs do drives to aide OKC. God I hate this society sometimes. Yes I know that when a really important issue comes up the first thing I do is listen to celebrities. I swear Mariah Carrey actually said this "I watch those t.v. shows with all the starving kids and stuff and I get real sad. I feel bad for them I mean wouldn't it be great to be thin like them , but without all the flies and stuff." Thank you Mariah now I know that when a starving person comes up to me I can congratulate them on their skinny body. Basically celebs just piss me off

Turn Signals Are GOOOOD

What is with people in Oklahoma and the idea that using a turn signal is optional? I guess they think they like to fool people into thinking that they are going straight when they are actually turning. Ooh they are pretty sneaky. If one of em ever sneaks into my car because they didn't signal, my foot is going to sneak into their ass and their stomach and other assorted body parts. It is not hard to signal in fact one just reaches down pushes the lever and voila the turn signal comes on. A four year old can master this. Although don't stop there PLEASE don't stop there. When you are done turning, turn off your frigging turn signal. It is just as annoying to follow behind a jack ass who has forgotten to turn off their signal as it is to have to drive near people who don't use turn signals. I guess the people who leave the signals on think that they too are tricky and are saving the lane they have the blinker aimed at so that they can go there at a moments notice. Well with all these sneaky people on the highway it is a wonder that I haven't killed some of them yet.

My Stance on Tipping

I have no problem with tipping over cows or drunks, but I do have a problem with tipping at restaurants. I myself do tip because I am with Indi and know her feelings about
tipping and like not being beat by her fists of doom for not tipping. I feel that a tip is a reflection of how well a waiter did a job. It is a reward to the waiter and that is it. It is me saying that "Well waiter person you did an excellent job so here is a tip to show you how good of a job you did." Now I know there are people out there who say "Well waitresses need tips to live off of." I don't care it is not my job to make sure someone can live off of their job. If they need money to live off of either get a better job or give me the best service possible to get a nice tip from me. I should not feel that I must tip someone just because they served me food. The only reason they had to serve me is because I'm not allowed back behind the counter to get it myself and must wait for refills instead of getting my own. I work at a subway and no one tips me for making their food, getting their drinks, cleaning their tables and taking care of the store, yet waiters get tips for taking the order and bringing food to the table and occasionally refilling your drink. OOOH big deal. That is a waiter's job. Why should they get a tip for doing their job? Do you tip your librarian when she gets you a book? No? Why not she is doing a service as much as a waiter. She takes the number of the book and brings it to you? I basically feel that tips should only be given If the person is doing allot of work to make sure that you are as comfortable as possible. The tip is to reward their hard work. People that always deserve tips are barbers. Always tip your barber or hairdresser because the next time they could make you look like a shmuck. Lesson Here: Never Tip unless You think the PERON HAS DONE OVER AND ABOVE WHAT WAS ASKED OF THEM because they are doing their job. AHHHHHH!!!! I HATE TIPPPING!!!!

I HATE BEING SICK

It is 3-1-99 and I have just gotten over having the Flu. The actual God Damn thing. The Flu sucks big hairy Donkey nuts I tell ya. There is nothing worse than the Flu than possibly pneumonia which Carrie has just got over herself. Being sick has taught me two wonderful lessons. Don't get sick, and go to the doctor the minute you feel something that is more that mildly annoying and it lasts for a few days. Why can't being sick take a vacation from you when you are trying to goto sleep? That is the most sinister thing that being sick has going for it. Your body won't let you do anything, but lie there and so to make the most of it one tries to sleep, but nooo the sickness knows better than that and allows about ten minutes of sleep and then shoves you back into consciousness again with an annoying coughing fit. I hate those colds. I have learned that Tylenol P.M. is a sick person's best friend and will allow you seven or eight hours of blissful sleep. Any Way enough about being sick. It just sucks.

Why do movies Suck so hard nowadays?

What is it with movies nowadays? Do the people in Hollywood think that the movie going public is a bunch of idiots? The reason for this is that I just saw a piece of Tripe on HBO called the Replacement Killers. This sad excuse for a movie starred Chow Yun Fat, Mira Sorvino and some other actors that hopefully can wish that they were never in this movie. It was about assassins. What is the point of an assassin? Isn't it to kill people quietly, stealthily and most of all not getting caught. Well this movie would have you believe that assassins run around with fully automatic Kalishnakov Rifles and fire at everything. In this movie not once did I see a silencer on any weapon. Not one friggin silencer. Maybe the assassins thought no one will notice a twenty caliber machine gun going off near my proximity. This movie just sucked .

The story behind this whole thing is that a cop ,we will call him....Joe, busted up some Chinese Mafia operation and accidentally caused the death of the Godfather's son. So the godfather thinking that family is the most important thing to someone, orders his best assassin(Chow Yun Fat his character has an original name, John Woo.) to go and shoot Joe's kid. The godfather wants the boy to die in Joe's arms so that Joe will know the pain of losing a child. Anyway this assassin gets an attack of conscience when he is about to shoot the kid. Whaaa? An oriental assassin getting an attack of conscience. The orient made the granddaddy of all assassins the Ninja. It make cold blooded killers like nothing else. Ask people which is scarier the Yakuza or The Mob and the people that know about the Yakuza will say Yakuza for sure. Anyway if one can believe that this assassin can get an attack of conscience, I guess can one believe that the rifle he was going to use on this kid had no silencer for a reason. He was less than one hundred feet from the Kid and I guess he felt that Joe wouldn't notice the muzzle flash and the loud resounding BOOM. Man this makes me nuts. Ok so this scene goes by, he doesn't shoot the kid and he realizes "d'oh!! I crossed the Godfather, who happens to have my family under his control and will kill them for my failure. I know I'll go have Mira Sorvino make me a fake passport to get to HongKong where I'm sure that the GodFather will have more influence that here. YAY!!!!! Maybe I can save my family." Some gun fight scenes go by and needless to say Godfather realizes that he needs to get better assassins to kill this kid and to kill John Woo. Well John realizes this to and goes to stop the assassins from shooting this kid. Now assassins usually work alone. Especially when sniping, but no these two assassins like to work together because two bullets are better than one.

The assassins decide to shoot the kid in a movie theatre while he watching a movie with his dad. This is a packed theatre and of course it has a convenient balcony that no one sat in except the assassins. Ok theses assassins procured a LASER sight for their guns, but again no silencers in this theatre full of people. As you can see this has a nice fun gunfight and the kid survives, assassins die and John Woo is happy that he saved the kids life. No he goes on to decide that Heck I took out 2 assassins a Chinese crimelord won't be so tough. The movie from then on proceeds in a downward spiral of cliched crackshots and other bad stunts until it reached the blessed end. Assassins are smart people, and they hate to get caught. None of these assassins thought hey poisoned darts are quiet and work fine. Hmmm. . .Poisoned arrows are quiet and kill kids nicely. Silenced weapons kill nicely. No this was just another way that Hollywood can insult our intelligence.
