To go along with his new immigration bill, President Bush also plans a new "inclusive" currency design.

(Hat tip to Heather of Angelweave for finding this bill for me)

Every once in a while you find someone who's doing good writing in the comments, and you hang your head and weep because you know he's not getting the attention he deserves.

At which point you feel morally obligated to give him a swift kick in the ass so he gets his own blog.

Thus it was with a gentlemen who'd been doing Alliance Assignments for quite a while (and doing them well) under the name ssj2gunslinger.

Well, after repeated ass-booting some gentle persuasion, he's taken the plunge and become my newest blogson:

The Wandering Gunslinger of The Gunpowder Grotto

Let's peek down the barrel:

A bit about him - his name is Charlie, Charles, Chas and/or Carlos, but if you call him Chuckie, a demon-possessed, knife-wielding doll will carve you up like a Thanksgiving turkey. And he's also... oh crap... Irish. Great. Another brawling, besotted, shillelagh-swinger on the blogroll...

An interesting question - where are all the giant Hitler statues? WWII buffs please chime in on this.

Attack of the Japanese Nazi Vampires From Brazil - Neither Roger Corman NOR Bert I. Gordon... guess again.

Anyway, Wandering Gunslinger (what a pain in the fingers THAT is to type. I may just take to calling you Gunny) you can pick up a Bad Example Family logo from this post, and you may, if you wish, blogroll the rest of the Bad Example Family using the handy blogrolling javascript, although neither is a requirement.

Membership in the Bad Example Clan is also an option, if you're so inclined to jump through the requisite hoops, but is not mandatory.

Meanwhile you can look forward - with either anticipation or dread - to regular visits and comments from me.

Welcome home.

Lacking any fresh mud with which to smear the Bush administration, the "unbiased" media is re-hashing old accusations of President Bush lying about WMD.

Ok, so maybe those two trailers they found in May of '03 weren't "mobile biological weapons labs", but I have a hard time believing the claims that they were used to "produce hydrogen for weather balloons". Why would Iraq need weather balloons? Does the weather report ever change over there?

"Today will be incredibly freakin' hot with a [random number] percent chance of sandstorms. After sunset, your camel will freeze his hump off".

Anyway, here are my half-baked lunatic theories on what those trailers were ACTUALLY used for:

* Coyote trailers - Just in case any Mexicans felt like sneaking across the border into Iraq to steal jobs from hard-working Islamofascists.

* Super secret Death Star Control Platform - SHHHHH! Secret! You no tell!

* Scott McClellan's retirement home - Needed something big enough so that his chubby ass wouldn't get stuck in the doorway.

* It's where Michelle Malkin goes to strangle kittens with piano wire and/or mince them into brownies - Think of it as Camp David for MegaBloggers.

* It's where Glenn Reynolds goes to... aw, YOU know...

* Stolen oil storage facility - Since they only found 2 of them, President Bush wasn't able to steal NEARLY as much oil as originally planned.

* He was warned about this by numerous retired generals, but did he listen? NO-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O!

* Originally designed as a Stupid Hippy Human Shield Transportation Device - Driven only once. Still can't get the smell out.

* Production facilities for Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream - Now you know where their delicious "Caramel Camel" and "Go Pound Sandies" flavors come from.

Blogson That 1 Guy of Drunken Wisdom is helping a friend search for a laptop:

He's looking to buy a laptop so that he can run this program at home. It doesn't have to be a Toughbook, but it does have to be tough. It may possibly get knocked on the floor, and it will be in a dirty, and sometimes dusty, enviroment. The kicker, and what may put this out of reach, is that he can only spend $600 tops, with $500 being what he'd like to shoot for.

I asked what the minimum system requirements were for the program he's running, and this is what he said; "300 MHZ Pentium, a super VGA display (1024 x 768 resolution), and Windows 98. Also needed are at least one USB port, and Rs 232 port."

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Blogdaughter Tammi of Tammi's World is getting soft-hearted for a stray cat:

"there's this really pretty white and gray kitten been hanging around for a couple of days....so sweet. Not very old - I'm betting under a year. And, well, it's sooo hungry.....and just one bowl of milk couldn't hurt tooooooo much, could it? And, it's just so cute."

*sigh*

Well, it IS possible to keep outdoor cats. TNT & I had a gang of 'em when we lived out in the country. We'd leave a bunch of food out for 'em, they'd show up, chow down & wander away. While they were eating, you could give 'em a little head-scratch & make 'em purr.

My suggestion - buy some cheap-ass dry food and a flea collar. It'll be fine outside until winter, at which point you can choose to make it a housecat or take it to a shelter. Either way, it'll be flea-free when you decide.

By the way, we only adopted one of the dozen or so strays we fed, and that was only because she adored horse-dog Jake.

4-pound kitten. 80-pound (at the time) dog. Go figure.

Blogson GA Mongrel has declared his yellow-jacket death-trap a success:

I poked a mostly peeled apple four times with equal lengths of a bamboo skewer, effectively creating an apple quadruped. I then filled up a metal pie-plate with soapy water - watch the bubbles! - and stood the apple in the middle of the pie-plate [about 1/2 inch above the water].

Let's face it - yellow-jackets are evil and deserve to die screaming as they choke on soapy water.

Current body count: 20

Let's hope it climbs high & fast.

"Aaargh! Too much pressure, I can't take it!"

This time by Rachel of Pereiraville:

Six Weird Facts About Me and/or Habits I Have

1) Ice in milk and beer - 4 years of living on an aircraft carrier, doing turns in the 100+ degree heat of the Indian Ocean - where cold beverages were more legend than fact - have given me an unnatural appreciation for the cooling power of ice. I don't care if it makes the beverage watery, it makes it COLD.

2) I once gave a guy my car in exchange for a coffee-grinder - Why? The car had been in an accident(not my fault), the insurance company gave me a check for the full value (they said it was totalled, but it still ran - just looked like a beat up piece of crap), the guy needed a car, and I had three cars and only two parking spaces (living in downtown Madison at the time, where you're lucky to find a parking spot to rent within 3 blocks of your apartment).

10 years later, I've still got the coffee grinder, and the car has long since been scrapped.

3) During my 6 month stint at Naval Nuclear Power School in Orlando, I quit smoking and started chewing Wrigley's Spearmint gum. I used the wrappers to make a gum wrapper chain. It ended up being about 30 feet long.

I still have it.

And no, it's not a record.

4) I know what a seam ripper is, I own one, and I've used it for its intended purpose on numerous occasions. My sister was shocked to discover this.

5) I know where to look to find wild catnip, and I think cats are hilarious after they've had a snootful.

6) I always carry a pen with me wherever I go, and don't understand people who don't.

Next victims:

Machelle of Quality Weenie - I gotta do SOMETHING to distract her from playing doggie-dress-up.

Chris of Spotted Horse - He turned 38 on April 16th, and needs something to distract him from his near-fatal rabbit-related wounding.

Blogdaughter Boudicca of Boudicca's Voice thinks she's got a hippy name.

Well, I checked it out, and it DID have a huge surge of popularity during the 60's & 70's when it was one of the top 40 girl's names.

As for me, my name was VERY popular in the 1800's but it's been losing ground ever since. Looks like it won't even make the top 1000 in this decade.

Anyway, if you want to see how hip & trendy your name is (or isn't), check this page. It's a cute little java applet that shows a name's popularity over the last 125 years.

Feel free to mention your stats in the comments, even if you don't want to mention your name.

1 Well Tommy (actually my name, not Thomas) had a spike up to number 74 in the 1940's, not very popular before and dropped off ro around 400 today. Thomas on the other hand was popular up through the same spike in the 40s (up to number 8 then) but has been dropping as well since then, but even by the 2000s it was still around number 37.

13 Being a shock to me, my name was popular from the 50's - 70's and hasn't been recordable since. I guess there were more than 1 set of parents who hated their child and poxed them by "mispelling" a common name.

Posted by: Quality Weenie at April 19, 2006 06:51 AM (XG7jZ)

14 My real name only appears on the grid between the 1930's and 1990's. Good Lord....it's #195 in the 60's. Which means that I, too, have a hippy name, doesn't it? This is horrible news to receive first thing in the morning.

Posted by: songstress7 at April 19, 2006 12:44 PM (0zDjn)
