Dumb Dictator's One Stop Rocket Shop

So that's why I saw Kim Jong-un coming out of here the other day

Responsibility and Vengeance

Daesh claims responsibility and a shirtless, drunken Putin swears vengeance for his bastard child's toy plane

And How

Lunch Dilemma

After being at work all morning the last thing I want to think about is food.

Punch In

They punch in
And immediately begin
Spending the better part of an hour
Checking their punches and hours
From yesterday

Hamas Hamms Hubub

I almost always read "Hamas" as "Hamms" which is why my thoughts on either subject are not for public consumption.

Imagine My Horror

Remembered (or so I thought) to DVR the Hawks game.  Ran a bunch of errands with the boy, dropped him off at Blue Line Driving, ran more errands then picked him up from Blue Line Driving. Got home and we bolted in front of the tv together to watch the game against St. Lou (already in progress) from the beginning.

Imagine my horror to find that what I actually recorded was pale British men kicking an only slightly whiter ball.  I sat stupefied and stupid, staring at my idiocy made manifest on the idiot box in the form of this so-called futbol match for several minutes.  Then...

Alex: This isn't the Hawks.
Me:    I know son.
Alex: This is soccer.
Me:    I know son.
Alex: I thought you didn't like soccer.
Me:   I don't son.
Alex: Then like, what are you doing?
Me     I'm praying the soccer will turn into hockey.

Freeloader Effort and Perspective

On Sunday Alex finished his lunch quickly, got out his horn and spent the rest of the afternoon transcribing Miles Davis' "Freddie Freeloader"

Me:   You transcribed the entire solo for "Freddie Freeloader"?  That's so cool.
Alex: Yeah, but...
Me:   Yeah but what?
Alex: Miles just made this up on the spot.

Perspective

Sort of Necessary

Learning to quietly respect most clatter isn't easy but sort of necessary.

What Do You Think

Some folks pretend to care what you think so they can say what they think.
