VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. - Religious broadcaster Pat Robertson suggested on-air that American operatives assassinate Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez to stop his country from becoming "a launching pad for communist infiltration and Muslim extremism."

"We have the ability to take him out, and I think the time has come that we exercise that ability," Robertson said Monday on the Christian Broadcast Network's "The 700 Club."

Ah, the joys of having a working phone again.

Dumb Shit: Things you'd love to say at work but can't.

1.     I can see your point, but I still think you're full of shit.
2.     I don't know what your problem is, but I'll bet it's hard to pronounce
3.     How about never? Is never good for you?
4.     I see you've set aside this special time to humiliate yourself in public.
5.     I'm really easy to get along with once you people learn to worship me
6.     I'll try being nicer if you'll try being smarter
7.     I'm out of my mind, but feel free to leave a message
8.     I don't work here.  I'm a consultant
9.     It sounds like English, but I can't understand a word your saying
10.     Ahh.I see the fuck-up fairy has visited us again.
11.     I like you.  You remind me of when I was young and stupid
12.     You are validating my inherent mistrust of strangers
13.     I have plenty of talent and vision.  I just don't give a damn
14.     I'm already visualizing the duct tape over your mouth
15.     I will always cherish the initial misconceptions I had about you
16.     Thank you.  We're all refreshed and challenged by your unique point of view
17.     The fact that no one understands you doesn't mean you're an artist
18.     Any connection between your reality and me is purely coincidental
19.      What am I?  Flypaper for freaks?20.     I'm not being rude.  You're just insignificant
21.      It's a thankless job, but I've got a lot of Karma to burn off
22.     Yes, I am an agent of Satan, but my duties are largely ceremonial
23.     And your cry-baby whiny-assed opinion would be?
24.     Do I look like a people person?
25.     This isn't an office.  It's hell with fluorescent lighting
26.     I started out with nothing & still have most of it left
27.     Sarcasm is just one more service we offer
28.     If I throw a stick, will you leave?
29.     Errors have been made.  Others will be blamed
30.     Whatever kind of look you were going for, you missed
31.     I'm trying to imagine you with a personality
32.     A cubicle is jus a padded cell without a door
33.     Can I trade this job for what's behind door #1?
34.     Too many freaks, not enough circuses
35.     Nice perfume.  Must you marinate in it?
36.     Chaos, panic & disorder - my work here is done
37.     How do I set a laser printer to stun?

Kristina thinks Patrick Swazey (however the hell you spell it) has small nipples.

Apparently shje's paying way too much attention.

Yay for Opening Day!

Damned Computers...

So today, I woke up, and I played WOW for a bit.

'Stina woke up a couple of hours later - and because she's only had 256mb of RAM - WOW sucks a bit for her. So I gave her one of my 512's, and put her 256 in my box (and now her box is better).

After turning my box back on - my 200gb HD *threw* parks - orange ones. Then a cloud of smoke came out of it.

Needless to say, it doesn't work anymore. Doesn't even spin up. There's a fried chip on the circuit board. It's got a little melted bubble in it.

All my pictures, email, etc, etc... *gone*. My music is basically all I have left (since it fills my 20gb drive).

*Shrugs*. I got a new 200gb at Comp today. It's a SATA - so from the computers perspective, I came out ahead, but not from my checking account's perspective.

And WOW takes forever and a day to install.

If one in twelve win a free coke, somebody must be on some lucky streak to counterbalance all the "Drink Coke Play Again" caps that I find.

As of right now - I have the entire series of "The West Wing" saved to my harddrive at 350*ish* MB per episode.

That's such a great show... even if this season is sorta wierd and kinda lame.

Twofold...

First ~ so I got my new camera... and they are building apartments behind mine. Just because I haven't posted any pictures yet... here they are.

They aren't great - but I needed to post something sometime.

And then... the dumb LJ Meme.

Marti's got my name on her ass ;).

Kristina hasn't seen Joe vs. the Volcano.
She hasn't seen The Jerk either.

I think she's wierd.

Did I lend my carpet cleaner to anyone? It's gone missing. I thought I left it at the old apartment when we first got the new place - and then when I went back to clean, it wasn't there.

My only guess is that I lent it out ot someone without remembering.

Otherwise, the dryer fairy got sick of his stolen socks getting dirty and stole a carpet cleaner too. I find that less likely.

Help!c

If I ever get to design a town, I'm going to call the biggest residential street: PO Box Blvd. It will intersect with PO Box Lane, PO Box Road, and PO Box Place.

The Citrix servers at work pop open a message before you log in but after connecting saying "This system is for authorized use only!"

Ever wonder who sees such a message and goes - "Oh, I'm not authorized, I'd better disconnect now," and disconnects and goes about their merry way?

I have named my cat.

Yay for Internet at the new place.

So the new apartment has been claimed by 'Stina and I - we offically moved in by bringing in the box of misc. kitchen stuff and drinking glasses that we bought at Target.
