Cheetos.. A Cheesy Crucifix In Every Single Bag !!

Does This Look Like the Son of God to You????

If you look hard enough and long enough at something, you can see anything you want to. Remember the Virgin Mary in the Grilled Cheese sandwich, or the Jesus in the office building window? Well, those are pretty believeable compared to these kooks. We at SC6 give you Cheesus........

Yes, there are people buying bags of Cheetos, and they think that they have ones that resemble

Jesus Christ. Like I said , look hard enough, and........... Notice, I said PEOPLE. This is not a single kook, but multiple kooks that are seeing this phenomenon. I found the Cheesus above on some guy's blog, and here's another one I found on YouTube...

Clearly, we have a problem of pandemic proportions. There is only one solution: ban Cheetos !!! I personally have no problem with that - Cheetos get stuck in my teeth, and I hate the cheesy residue on my fingers too. Ban Cheetos, or the CIA needs to get Chester Cheese in a dark room and shove a pineapple up his poop chute , til he stops making Cheesus's... yes, it's a tough route, but I DID grow up Catholic.....

The Best Insults That Public Servants Can Dish Out.

Who Says Cops Have No Sense of Humor......

That reminds me... I got out of another legal scrape this week, when I got pulle over by a cop for forgetting to attach my license renewal sticker on my tag - for 4 months !! Luckily, I had it in the glovebox. Don't ask... I'm pretty lazy sometimes.

Anyway, I got a list of some of the best insults that teachers and cops have let out in their report cards and giving out tickets. Here we are....

1. Since my last report, your child has reached rock bottom and has started to dig.

2. I would not allow this student to breed.

3. Your child has delusions of adequacy.

4. Your son is depriving a village of an idiot.

5. Your son sets low personal standards and then consistently fails toachieve them.

6. The student has a 'full six-pack' but lacks the plastic thing to holdit all together.

7. This child has been working with glue too much.

8. When your daughter's IQ reaches 50, she should sell.

9. The gates are down, the lights are flashing, but the train isn'tcoming.

10. If this student were any stupider, he'd have to be watered twice aweek.

11. It's impossible to believe the sperm that created this child beatout 1,000,000 others.

12. The wheel is turning but the hamster is definitely dead.

These 16 were taken off actual police car videos around the country: [these are some mighty 'quick witted' guys!

16. 'You know, stop lights don't come any redder than the one you justwent through.'

15. 'Relax, the handcuffs are tight because they're new. They'llstretch after you wear them awhile.'

14. 'If you take your hands off the car, I'll make your birthcertificate a worthless document.' 13. 'If you run, you'll only go to jail tired.'

12. 'Can you run faster than 1200 ft/second? Because that's the speedof the bullet that'll be chasing you.'

11. 'You don't know how fast you were going? I guess that means I canwrite anything I want on the ticket, huh?'

10. 'Yes, sir, you can talk to the shift supervisor, but I don't thinkit will help. Oh, did I mention that I'm the shift supervisor?'

9- 'Warning! You want a warning? O.K., I'm warning you not to do thatagain or I'll give you another ticket.'

8. 'The answer to this last question will determine whether you aredrunk or not. Was Mickey Mouse a cat or a dog?'

7. 'Fair? You want me to be fair? Listen, fair is a place where you goto ride on rides, eat cotton candy and corn dogs and step in monkeypoop.'

6. 'Yeah, we have a quota. Two more tickets and my wife gets a toasteroven.'

5. 'In God we trust, all others we run through NCIC.'

4. 'How big were those 'two beers' you say you had?'

3. 'No sir, we don't have quotas anymore. We used to, but now we'reallowed to write as many tickets as we can.'

2. 'I'm glad to hear that the Chief (of Police) is a personal friend ofyours. It's good to know someone who can post your bail.'

1. 'You didn't think we gave pretty women tickets? You're right, we don't.........sign here.' [Ouch, that hurt!]

The Preseason College Football Polls Are Out.. Let the Overly High Expectations Begin !!

Keep the Expectations Low, And You'll Never Let Anyone Down....

In the car business, we have a saying... 'Underpromise and Overdeliver'. Guess the Gamecocks and Tigers are not familiar with this credo. It seems every year, both Clemson and Carolina start at the top of the polls, only to progressively slide down in the dogs days of October and November. This year is no different....

The Tigers average rank is Number 9, and Carolina - fresh off of it's five game losing skid, and still without a quarterback - is Number 28. How long will they stay there? Probably through September, when cupcake season ends.... Then they'll fall off like the rock climber dude on that Price is Right game. I can hear the yodeling now......

.

SC6 Chugs Along.... Post Number 1300 !

OK, I Need a 1 In Front, But That Movie Is Pretty Cool........

We just passed another milestone today - Post Number 1300. This is actually 1301, so we're not going into much of anything on this one. I looked for something cool involving the number 1300, but there was nothing new to associate with it. Just a bunch of old cars, motorcycles and CPU's.....

So, blow out the candles, and lets keep rolling on......

.

Seacrest Ouch !!!!

Ryan Seacrest Gets Bitten By a Shark ??

Talk about hearing good news, only to find out that nothing happened. Of all the reports of people getting eaten by sharks, and we hear that Seacrest gets attacked, and lives.....

Yep, on his radio show yesterday, the American Idol host reported that he was wading in shallow water in the Pcific Ocean, when he was attacked by a shark - sort of. He apparently got tapped by the side of the shark, then the shark bit him - but didn't break the skin. Guess it was a Fixodent Shark.... How do you get bitten and not bleed? Such is the magic of Seacrest.....

Guess this confirms a sad, undeniable fact........ Ryan Seacrest will NEVER die !!!!!

.

Say Goodbye to the King of Pork..

Time to pick on a Republican, because some guys are just not worth defending.... Senator Ted Stevens (R-AK), the guy behind the $200 Million Bridge to Nowhere in Alaska, was indicted today by the US Dept. of Justice for various illegal business dealings.

Among the allegations are one by a local businessman who testified that he paid his own employees to renovate Stevens own house in Girdwood, AK. Since he is officially under indictment, Stevens can no longer serve as ranking member of the Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Committees. He was expected to have a tough primary and general elcetion race, but after this, consider the coffin fully nailed. He is finished.........

But, anyone who knows Stevens will attest that his biggets crime is his runaway spending of taxpayers money on crappy projects like his bridge and others. The idea of conservatism has been totally lost in Congress, and Stevens led the charge. Good riddance !!

So, What Should The Oklahoma City NBA Team Call Themselves?

Pick a Mascot, Any Mascot.............

If you've been following sports, you know the NBA will have their newest franchise in Oklahoma City this fall, and they want to know what they should name the team. A local station reported that they had decided on Thunder, but the NBA got pissed, and let the fans pick. So, here are the six choices:

Barons, Bisons, Energy, Marshalls, Thunder and Wind.

Okay, lets knock out the weakest ones first. First off, the plural of Bison is Bison - not Bisons. Wind? Are you serious? Energy? Why not just call them the Oklahoma City Red Bull or Amp. I don't hate the Marshalls, although a report did point out that Marshalls is a department store, so it's a near miss. So, that leaves us with the Barons and Thunder.

I like the Barons, but if you've ever been to Oklahoma City, you know the weather sucks there, but who wants to be called the Tornadoes or Twister, so Thunder is the next best option. You want a name representative of your area, so maybe Thunder is best. Wait , I have a better name for the team......... The Seattle SuperSonics. They shouldn't be leaving anyway. My guess is in six years, when the thrill wears off, they'll be just like the Grizzlies - looking for another home.

Blowing Others' Generosity: Extreme Makeover Winner Foreclose On Their Free House...

No Wonder Ty Pennington Drinks So Much..

If you've ever seen ABC's 'Extreme Home Makeover' show, this story will probably tick you off a bit. It's the show where a neighborhood gets together and helps build a local family a new home - one that is usually pretty high-end, with lot of special features made just for them. It's one of those shows that makes you feel like a big selfish turd..

Most of the people who receive this gift go on and right their lives from then on. And some.........uh. Don't.

Say hi to the Harper's of Lake City, Georgia. They got a house worth $450,000, along with another $250k in donations, including scholarships for the kids. So , did they go on to just get regular jobs and not worry about having a mortgage forever? Nope, they mortgaged the house on a $450K loan to start a construction business......... and lost it all. Now the house is in foreclosure, and everyone is Lake City feels like a big sap. "It's aggravating. it just amkes you mad. You do that much work, and they just squander it" said Mayor Willie Oswalt.

It just proves the theory that I always say: No Good Deed Goes Unpunished.

SC6 Gives You The Top 14 TV Theme Songs Ever.

YES, It's a TV......... A VERY OLD TV.

You never know when and where inspiration for a blog post will strike. Soemtimes it comes from other blogs. No, it's not copying if you give them due credit. I was reading Earl Capps blog toight, and he was talking about Will Folks attempt to make a movie version of Hawaii Five -O. I commented that Hawaii Five -O had the second best theme song ever. So, I decided to list my Top 14 List of TV Theme Songs......

Why 14? Well, I used IGN's Top 50 List, and I ended up picking 14 that I liked the most, then I ranked those 14. As you can tell, it VERY scientific. Remember, we go for quantity here, not quality........... and we never let you down on that.

IGN had the Top Two as Cheers and MASH, but I passed on both of them - Cheers was okay, but musically there are much better ones, and MASH used the same theme as the movie, so that's a foul in my book. To check out their Top 50, here is the link:

http://music.ign.com/articles/704/704547p5.html

Anyway, I'll skip commenting on why they cracked my list - that could take all night, and you know all of these anyway - unless you're under 25, or never watch TV Land. Here we go......

14: The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air

13: Green Acres

12: All In the Family

11: The Muppet Show

10: Sanford and Son

9: Mission Impossible

8: The Andy Griffith Show

7: The Beverly Hillbillies

6: Miami Vice

5: The Odd Couple

4: The Jeffersons

3: Barney Miller

2: Hawaii Five - O.

1: SWAT

Maybe SWAT isn't on your list, I'm not surprised. It wasn't that good a show, and it was only on two years, but when I was little kid, my siblings and I used to turn the TV on to see the intro song to SWAT - then we'd change the channel and watch something else. That's why it's my Number One - it made a really crappy show better. If you don't know it, here it is. DAN-NUH-NAH , DAN-NUH-NAH, DAN-NUH-NAH, DAN-NUH-NAH, DONNA-NAH !!!

Seeing Things You Wish You Didn't See.....

Adding New Meaning to the Term 'Plumber's Butt' ............

Forgive me for saying this, but I'M BLIND !!!!!!! I CAN'T SEE !!!!!! Okay, not really. Don't ask me what possesses people to do things like this, but I have two guesses: Either the guy is doing anything to make his plumbing and electric business stand out. Or Two, he got tired of his wife complaining, "Fred, all you do all day long is sit on the damn toilet !!! We never talk, you always retreat to the bathroom !!!!!" It's probably the first thought, but you never know.....

I can't blame the guy for doing this. Experts tell you to try to adapt your workplace to the place you're most comfortable with. Most guys would paint their favorite chair , or their garage, but I guess this guy is most at home on the crapper...... C'est la Vie......

And You Thought You Didn't Work on Sunday....

Go Oreo's !!!!!!!!

If you've ever heard the Maryland coastal accent 'Go Oreo's' is hilarious.... If not, you're missing out on one of the classic goofy American accents out there... Anyway, onto the post that Bobby has probably waited 15 weeks for....

Bobbo is a lifelong suffering Baltimore Orioles. Like clockwork, every first of the year, Bobby talks trash about how they have new prospects of trades that are going to turn the franchise around. A month into the season, Bob would pick on my Yankees slow start. Then, the season really started........

If you look in the standings, the Orioles are in , uh....... Last Place - again. Even Tampa Bay will undoubtedly finish ahead of them, which means Bobby will again revert in to being a Phillies fan again. Why do they stink so bad this year? Because like Seventh day Adventists, the Orioles have decided to refuse to work on one specific day all season - Sunday.

Yep, after winning on the first Sunday of the year - April 6th - they went on to lose on the next 15 Sundays in a row. Fifteen !! That is, until they finally snapped the streak yesterday when they beat the Los Angeles Angels 6-4. No doubt, no doubt that they have figured how to win on God's day, there is no stopping the Big O' Machine.....

I'm not the authority on religion, but I'm sure that there are some religions that specifically outlaw working on Sundays... Living in South Carolina, we can appreciate sacrificing something every Sunday. If you can tell me what idol, dogma or faith these guys are obviously practicing, I would appreciate it - and Bobby would definitely look into a conversion intervention....

Obama and Toe Tapping Larry Craig Together??

This Is Why There Are Companies That Specialize in Campaign Printing...

Poor Barack Obama...... Eh, maybe not, but when you run for President, there will be your name of things that you don't necessarily endorse - and some things that you DEFINITELY don't endorse.....

In Idaho, Democrats were trying to tie in Senate candidate Larry La Rocco with the surging Obama campaign. They hired Tigereye Design to produce some 3-inch buttons featuring Obama and LaRocco, with the 'Change We Can Believe In' tag on it.... Not very original, but what came out was quite unique .

When the buttons came out, they had the wrong Larry on them. Who was on it? Obama and outgoing Idaho Senator and famous toetapper Larry Craig, who's seat LaRocco is running for. LaRocco's campaign swears they didn't order them, but that a Democratic commercial firm did. Who cares? The gaffe is Classic !! Having the Democrat Obama with the Republican Craig is funny enough, but having the one who was arrested in a Minneapolis airport for soliciting sex from a cop in a bathroom stall is unbelieveable....

I know, I know... You're asking, 'Hey Mike, where can i get one of those buttons?' Well, don't hold your breath..... They've stopped making them, and the old ones are sold out, and are already considered collectors items. My advice is that if you really want one, you should go on EBay soon. No doubt the $1 buttons are going for $50 or more...

So, here is my tribute to Tigereye Design - good luck finding any candidates to hire you now....My guess is these are the guys who work there.....

We Love the Truck.. People Like to be Driven to Their Funeral in the Truck...

Some Guys REALLY Love Their Jobs.....

Okay, I've gotten out of my Sunday funk, and I think we've got some good, funny and lighthearted stuff to make you smile today. Let's start with this one....

This is a love story..... Love of job, and love for a co-worker. Not in the sexual aspect, but as two guys who worked side-by-side for a long time, emptying out all of the packages that fills up a UPS truck everyday. Jeff Hornagold and Michael McGowan worked together for UPS outside Chicago for a long time. After workign for UPS for 20 years, Hornagold got lung cancer, and eventually died. At the funeral, McGowan and Hornagold's wife knew exactly how to pay tribute to Jeff.

Instead of taking Jeff to the funeral home in a hearse - which looks just like a Mercedes Benz R500 - they took him in McGowan's UPS truck. Jeff got one last trip in his truck, and all there felt it was a fitting way to transport him. For those paying attention, when I die, DO NOT send me in a UPS truck, a Toyota, Honda, BMW, Kia or Chevrolet - a hearse will do just fine, thank you..........

.

I'm Taking the Day Off....

Usually, Sunday is a big post day for me, but I'm taking today off. There's nothing going on, or maybe I just don't really give a shit today... I didn't get much sleep last night, I'm tired and I mentally feel like I've been run over by a truck the last few weeks....

The stress of all the external factors of things going on around me is clearly taking it's toll, and the things I usually do to relieve that stress hasn't happened. I'm expecting more from people than they can give, and the yo-yo of it all is kicking my ass. Honestly, I don't know what to do about it. All I do is work and wait to come home, and all i'm doing is more work. There is no fun in life for me right now.

All I really want out of life is to come home , do my job, and have a woman who'll be there for me and tell me she loves me and that everything is going to be fine. Ladies, that's pretty much all we guys want from women - that and a little lovin'. Perhaps I have misjudged a lot of things, but I don't think so. Right now, I need a big nap.

Editor's Note: I'm back in Hilton Head, and I've had some time to cool down. Much like my friends that I have to keep separate, my sweetie has people that I can't cross paths with - even though the two of us have never really done anything. By now, I should know this, but I forget sometimes. Luckily, she thinks about these things. Sorry I got a little ticked here, Princess. Knowing the schedule, I suppose I won't see you Friday, but just let me know. Love ya !

Like Golf, Strip Clubs Have Their Own Rules of Etiquette to Follow..

There's a Couple Reasons This Guy Is By Himself at the Club.....

Now, i'm not sure why I had this forwarded to me, but I guess there's a few people who think I go to Gentlemen's Clubs on occasion.... Anyway, a few months back, i gave a few groundrules to having fun at your local strip club. Lo and behold, most of my opinions have been justified by the folks at AskMen.com , they have given their own list of proper etiquette when at your local establishment.....

#1.) BE CLEAN. If an almost-naked stranger is going to be kind enough to give you a lap dance, the least you can do is shower and put on some deodorant beforehand.



#2.) HAVE MONEY. If you're only going to bring enough cash for the cover and a few beers, what are you doing at a strip club? Sure, technically you're allowed to ogle the strippers for free, but bring money for tips, a lap dance, or both.



#3.) A STRIPPER IS NOT A THERAPIST. The girl giving you a lap dance is usually nice enough to pretend to be interested in you . . . but doesn't mean she wants to hear about your problems. Just shut up and enjoy the dance.



#4.) DON'T TREAT STRIPPERS LIKE PROSTITUTES. There's a big difference between stripping and prostitution . . . so never assume a stripper does both. No matter how much you're enjoying the dance, don't ask her to go home with you.



#5.) NO TOUCHING. Most strip clubs post this rule . . . in case you get carried away and forget. Let the dancers handle how much physical contact takes place . . . or you can expect to be contacted by one of the bouncers.



#6.) ALWAYS TIP. Sure, you already paid for the dance, but if you can tip a waitress for a job well done, you can tip a stripper. Besides, if word gets around that you tip well, expect hotter dances as the ladies try for even more of your cash.

Whoever wrote these rules is either a club regular, or he spent a lot of time interviewing the dancers there. These are some well-thought out ideas, and I endorse them wholeheartedly. A club can be a lot of fun, as long as you plan ahead, stick to it, and don't lose you head while there....

SC6 Helps You Keep Up to Date on Your Celebrity Hookups With People Magazine's Love Connection...

Time for some totally mindless entertainment - at least for ten minutes. With so many celebrities nowadays, and all of them hooking up with each other, it's hard to keep track of it all. Remember our Scott Baio post? I still can't count how many chicks he's had...

Well, the good folks at People Magazine have a game that is fun and educational - if you consider celebrity hookup knowledge educational. Anyway, it's pretty fun if you need to kill a few minutes during the downtime at work. Not that we advocate loafing off on the job..... Here's the link.

More Freaks of Nature: A Six Legged Deer Discovered in Georgia....

Look Like Bambi's Got a Couple Extra Hoofs !!!!

You can argue if this is genetics , nature or one of God's oddities, but sometimes you run into things that make you wonder. Here's one: A Six Legged Deer.

Yes, this little fawn was discovered in Georgia last week after being attacked by some dogs. Don't ask me how she got this way, but it's not the first time. Apparently, the two extra legs aren't very functional, although she does also have an extra pelvis as well. They kinda just drag along for the ride...

She's currently recovering at the University of Georgia , and they don't plan on amputating the extra legs. After all, you don't mess with God or Mother Nature......

Why They're Called Generation Y.........

Time to pick on the kids.... It's late, and work has been very tough this week, so i'm just going to do this one post and call it a night. Yeah, their clothes are too baggy, their music sucks, and they dance on a floor like I never would, but some of those Gen Y'ers are okay I suppose....

Have a good weekend !

Like We Keep Saying, Congress Keeps Dicking Around.....

Both Parties Play Games ,So Now You'll Still Pay at the Pump....

Maybe it's me. Maybe it's because oil has dropped $20 a barrel , and 15 cents a gallon at the pump, so Congress feels like they don't really need to do anything to make life easier for us anymore. Maybe they're all just a pack of 435 assholes. Yes, I'm frustrated with Congress. Yes, they're a bunch of retards.........

Why am I ticked? First, refer to a post from earlier in the week, where i asked if the leaders in Congress are even listening to each other, and why they can't compromise so we all benefit. Well, the answer to my question is a resounding no - Congress isn't listening or compromising......

Here's what happened today. The Democrats called a vote to release 70 million barrels - or three days worth of oil - from the 97% full Strategic Petroleum Reserve. However, they would not allow a vote on offshore drilling, which is what the Republicans wanted to do as well. Both ideas sound fine with me, but each party seems hellbent on trying to look MORE RIGHT. So, since the Dems blocked what the GOP wanted, the GOP made the vote be debated in a format that required passage be by a 2/3 vote, rather than a simple majority. The bill passed 268-157, about 15 votes short of the needed 2/3 vote. So, the bill to free up the 70 million barrels from the SPR failed, and the bill to allow offshore drilling never was voted on. So, ineffect NOTHING happened. It's all much ado about nothing.....

Both sides are going blame the other side, but the fact is they're both wrong, and we're the ones paying for it. It's a good thing I already resigned my chair positions in the party, otherwise I'd probably be canned for railing against the GOP. But you and anyone reading this knows I'm right. My subjective days are long over in politics. I call it like I see it, and I have never seen a better example of DC political football (aka BS), that directly results in hurting the American people in their pockets. Face it - Congress doesn't give a rip about you.

Time for Another SC6 Do You Know This Person...

Okay, it's time to tweak your brains , and see if you know useless information as much as me. I'll even give you the name of this guy. His name is Spencer Elden, and he's 18 years old. Actually, he has the same birthday as me, and the wife of whom he is forever tied to......

Need another clue? How's this for a hint? As he says himself, "A lot of people have seen my penis." Give up? Here's the answer.....

Forget About Apple , Sunday or Trixibelle - This Kid Has the Worst Name EVER !!

I'd Hide My Face Too, Kid !!!!!

Sure, we've played this game before, but everytime I think i've heard the dumbest name for a kid ever, someone else tops it. This one may be the winner... Bobby's going to name his daughter Caitlin.... I'm kidding !!!! Caitlin is fine. This other one is stupid, and you won't believe what this poor kid had to do to lose this name.......

A judge in New Zealand had to officially have to take assign a 9 year old girl a ward of the state so she could legally change her name when her parents divorced. What was it? How about Talula Does the Hula in Hawaii ???? I shit you not. TALULA DOES THE HULA IN HAWAII !!!! What did these parents have against this kid at birth to name her that? Was she in labor for a week? Did she come out sideways??? All together now.......... WTF ????

This kids name will be added to these other unacceptable names in New Zealand - Fish and Chips, Yeah Detroit, Keenan Does Lucy and Sex Fruit. Wait a minute.... Sex Fruit Reino. Hmmmmm..............

50 Cent Sues Taco Bell.. I Kid You Not....

You Better Pay 50 Cent, Or Your Butt Is Going to Court......

Rapper 50 Cent - pronounced Fitty Cent - is pretty serious about getting paid. I wonder how much he got for doing that Vitamin Water commercial, because he's suing Taco Bell for $4 Million just for using his name in a print ad.

Yep, Taco Bell , trying to promote it's new value menu, asked 50 Cent to change his name to 79-89 or 99 Cent, and rap an order, and they would donate $10,000 to a local charity. Of course, they never seriously asked 50 Cent or his reps to do it. It all sounds pretty ridiculous, and that may be Taco Bell's out. Making the ad that goofy does possibly qualify it for being a parody ad that no one would really think 50 Cent would take part in. If everyone could sue for a parody ad, then George Bush and Elvis Presley could sue everyone....

But, my guess is that 50 Cent's people can smell an easy settlement here for a few hundred thousand dollars in a nice, quiet atmosphere. Such is the world......

So When Are We Bailing Out Ford ??

Ford, Where Losing Money is Job 1.....

In case you missed the news, Ford Motor Company just broke their all-time earnings record...... in the wrong direction. The Big Blue Bleeding Machine lost an amazing $8.7 Billion - that's with a B -in just the last quarter !!!

It gives you a good model on how not to run a company: Poor product selection, lack of vision, adjusting too much on recent whims, and a crippling overhead due to unions. Thanks to this genius business plan, the stock of one of America's largest companies is now $5.45 a share - close to 100 times less than Google, which is about ten years old.

It's time for Bill Ford to realize that he's in over his head, to step down, and let a new guy with some real balls to cut this disaster to a leaner , meaner and smaller company. Or, we can just have Congress bail them out for a few billion more dollars... Guess which route I have my money on ????

SC6 Gets You Ready for the Olympics - Sort Of.

As you might be able to tell, we're taking a bit of a break from politics today, because the bullshit is just piled too high this week. Obama and McCain need to take a vacation for all our sakes. Just way too much prepackaged fighting over nothing... So, we're going to focus on something else - the Olympic Games in Beijing next month.

Now, we at SC6 do stuff differently. We don't care about the medals or world records - we like to make you laugh at things like this. So, in that vein, I got some pics from Heather at work, showing various sports - but all involving hands... Instead of explaining it, here's the pictures......

On Your Mark, Get Set........

I Could Use a Hug Today...

Dr. Evil Isn't the Only One Who Needs a Frickin' Hug.....

Wow, this is turning into a crazy week. Not so much for me - I'm trudging along pretty well. Things around me are way too messed up right now. Charles is on vacation, so I'm working 7-6 with a 20 minute lunch break and double the workload. Oh, and the computer system that controls EVERYTHING at the dealership went down for four hours. The heat was the least of my problems today. Also, I'm still waiting on my pay raise six weeks after it was supposedly ok'd. There are a lot of people waiting on this as well....

At home, Ben has been having fits over the homeowners insurance, although it got taken care of, and Matt was two seconds away from moving to Florida today. For the third time this month, I had all my stuff packed in the Avalon, ready to spend the night in it. But , tragedy was averted at the last second - at least for another week.

I'm sure there's other stuff I could remember if I thought about it, but why dwell too much on the negative, right? All I have to say is that Friday can't get here fast enough this week, and there better be someone around to greet me when I get there. NO EXCUSES !! ;)

Think You're Offended By the Term Lesbian? Not Compared to These Guys..

Good Thing Sappho Wasn't From Hilton Head Island........

The last time I wrote a post that even slightly mentioned the word Lesbian, I got a 5 page e-mail and a few others that eventually caused me to delete the post. I only deleted it because it bothered a friend - the others could have pouted all they want. Not that I haven't learned anything since then, but I'm going to blog about a topic that involves Lesbians again - sort of.

Just to clear the air of any percieved animosity towards lesbians, my sister is a lesbian, and I've been around gays and lesbians since I was a little. I love lesbians. Are we okay? Onto the story now..

First a brief history of the term Lesbian. It came from the home of the ancient Greek poetess named Sappho, who was from the island of Lesbos. Thus women and all people from Lesbos are called Lesbians. Well, three guys from Lesbos are not happy about it at all.......

They took a case to court to make the term Lesbian when referring to homosexual women illegal. It's kinda like happy people fighting to ban the term 'gay' . It's ridiculous, and even the goofy Greek justice system threw the case out of court. The guys even had to pay court costs of $366.00 . Chalk one up for the sisters !!

My advice for those three guys is to move to Crete or Cyprus or just tell everyone that your just Greek, and not a Lesbian. Not that there's anything wrong with it. My tapdancing act is now done. Everyone cool ?? I love you too.....

Want to Lose 20 Lbs. Overnight? Get Out All That Impacted Waste From Your Colon !!

So, are you feeling a bit chubby and out of sorts? Not quite yourself?? Maybe it's all of that gunk jammed in your lower interstines from all those hamburgers you got at Ned's in Aynor over the years.. So, what's a guy (or country girl) supposed to do?

Here's Colon Cure - I shit you not - literally !! It's supposed to 'wash' all of that impacted poop out of your colon like Drano through a kitchen sink. Ouch !!! It''s pill or something like that, because no self-respecting guy would allow anything in their pooper from the wrong end, like one of those High Colonics....

How did I find out about this stuff? I got a junk e-mail, and I HAD to read it, because I knew it would be good for a blog post. This kick the crap out of the Kinoki Foot Pad for laughs !!! The down side is I accidentally saved the picture here as the background on my laptop, and I can't clear it out. Help !!!!!!!!!!!

Election 2010 Preview: Barbara Boxer vs.Terminator

Who Will be the Next Senator From Cal-uh-for-nee- uh ????

There was a good article in TheHill.com about the possibilities of the next Senate race in California, where the chance of a Barbara Boxer - Arnold Schwarzenegger race is very real.....

Boxer, who is so liberal that she makes Dianne Feinstein seem reasonable, will be in for a tough battle, and she's already raising funds to build up a sizeable kitty. Her goal? A whopping $20 million !!! Pretty unbelieveable. It's not a sure that Ahnuld will be running again - other hopefuls are McCain team member Carly Fiorina and former EBay CEO Meg Whitman - but a Boxer and a Terminator would make an interesting battle. Here's the article...

Okay, Who Brought the Moose to the Ballgame ?

Feed Me Some Peanuts and Cracker Jack ......

The nice thing about living is North Dakota is that you can always have room to play a game of baseball. The hard part is that you're probably 10 feet from some wildlife that don't understand the rules of the game...

Well, a local ballgame had to be canceled this week because a pair of Moose walked on to the field - and they wouldn't leave. While it may sound funny, a Moose can definitely total out your car, or kill you if you get stomped. My guess though is that they just wanted to take part in the tailgating for a hot dog and a beer. My guess is they like Moosehead....

Obama's Presidential Tryout Tour Continues..

This Was the Closest Obama Got to Looking Presidential, But......

Barack Obama is in the middle of his World Tour right now. He sat down with Afghan President Hamed Karzai, and then he'll be in Iraq for the first time in 2 1/2 years, before he goes to Europe. Even though Obama is not President - yet - the attention this trip is getting is of presidential proportions....

All three network's anchors are following Obama on the trip. Can you name the last time they all went on a trip with George Bush? Me either, although Bush probably isn't inviting anyone from the media anywhere lately... John McCain must be green with envy...

Even more amazing is the support he is getting on his trip. Iraqi Prime minister Nouri al-Maliki nearly endorsed Obama's plan to pull out of Iraq within 16 months. Then again, why wouldn't he? If I were him, i'd want us out too. The longer we stay , the more al-Maliki looks like a puppet. The guy wants to be seen as ruler of his country, and with any US presence, it will never happen.

Another part I have questions about is the free pass Obama got on his speech about Afghanistan. Calling the situation 'precarious and urgent', Obama called on increasing troops and aid to both Afghanistan and Pakistan to battle al-Qaeda. Now , we already give billions to Pakistan, and a recent government audit found out tht Pakistan can't account for 70% of the money we gave them - 70% !!! And now Obama wants to dump more? Sounds like Obama is promising more than he can deliver, but why should Pakistan be any different than every government agency and voter in America?

My other question is: Isn't this talk a lot of warmongering? Imagine John McCain stumping for expanding troops in Afghanistan and increasing aid to Pakistan. I'm sure the DNC attack machine would be out in full force, but that's the double standard.

No doubt this trip will be viewed as the trip that made Obama a legitimate statesman - at least according to the media. But, one has to wonder if Obama fatigue will set in after this megatrip, then the convention soon afterwards. Maybe he'll take the Olympics off - unless he's entered in an event we're not aware of...

My Question to Congress: Are You Guys Listening to Each Other At All ??

Facing Off This Time.....Nancy Pelosi and Minority Whip Roy Blunt.....

I love the Talking Heads..... The band Talking Heads - 'Take Me to the River", "And She Was", and a ton of other hits. My brother Matt still swears the best concert he ever went to was the David Byrne concert at Jones Beach - I got him the tickets, free of course....

The other talking heads, I have no tolerance for. In this case, we're going to point out House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and House Minority Whip Roy Blunt. Both appeared on CNN's 'Late Edition With Wolf Blitzer' this past Sunday. The subject on the docket? Oil prices, and how to combat it. It was a perfect example of what is wrong in Washington....

The need to increase supply is obvious. Pelosi wants to free up excess supply held as part of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, Blunt wants to drill offshore 50-200 miles off the coast. Now, both options seem pretty reasonable, therefore there is enough common ground to comp-, uh comp-, AHEM.... compromise. Sorry, I have trouble getting that word out, but not as much as Congress does.

Instead of admitting that both sides have a point, and take it from there, they both just were too busy attacking each other to make their point look MORE RIGHT. And that's the problem. They can't just be right, they have to be more right. My question to that great interviewer Blitzer is why didn''t he corner these two retards? Yes , I just another pair of Congressmen retards.

It's sickening to see this bullshit go on, all while we suffer in our pocketbooks. I have alot of other things I'd like to spend my hardearned money on than gas. We can beat this, but not if putz'es like Pelosi and Blunt play games. Get on the stick, you two morons !!!!!

Good News !!! My Cousin Chris Is Home.

It's official - PFC. Christopher Reino, Army Ranger of the 82nd Airborne, is back from Iraq, and standing on US soil again.... He landed at Pope AFB in North Carolina last night, right about the time I called my Cousin John to find out what the latest was. Guess my psychic talents were pretty on again.

John and his wife Denise had been in Fayette Nam since Friday night, waiting on official word of his arrival. I'm not sure why John never called to update me, or to have us come up, but I suppose I'd have been a little ticked if I was stuck up there all weekend. Patience is not my strong suit.

Nevermind, the most important thing is that he is home, and he is safe. It has been a trying 15 months for Chris for sure, and the whole family has concerns of how such a long stretch over there will affect him. Time will tell..... Will this be his final tour over there? I'm not sure. I hope so, but he's a soldier, and what he did is no different than thousands of men and women are doing every day over there. Thye might not look at it as beign special, but they sure as hell are.......

WELCOME HOME , CHRIS !!!!!!!!

SC6 Sports: Giants Finally Pull Trigger on Jeremy Shockey Trade

After months of speculation, my beloved NY Giants traded TE Jeremy Shockey to the New Orleans Saints for a second and a fifth round draft picks. This is essentially the same offer the Saints had made in April , before the NFL draft.....

Yes, Shockey is one of the more talented tight ends in football, and he is better than his replacement, Kevin Boss. But there is no denying that his absence last year was a major positive for the player more important than Shockey or anyone else on the G-Men roster - Eli Manning....

I'll be the first to admit that Shockey's attitude was not good for the team, because I can identify with him to a degree. We're both emotional guys who want our team to win. Sometimes though, we can get overly emotional in our pursuit of excellence, and it brings those around us down. I figured this out a month ago, when I got reamed at work for what I thought was caring too much. Others saw it as destructive, and they are right. Same goes for Shockey.....

Everyone in football wants the ball, and they think they are open on every play, but this is a team sport. The ball has to be spread around to be a success, and Shockey clearly wants the ball more than the Giants plan on giving to him. So, the best thing is to let him go, and use the picks to address other needs. Will the Giants win the Super Bowl again? Hell no... I'll say it now - they will not break .500 next year - everyone is shooting for them now.

Best of luck to Shockey. He's going to his old coach in New York, and I'm sure he'll get the ball plenty, and maybe he'll go to the Pro Bowl again. But not the Super Bowl.........

One Final Post this Weekend....

When Your License Plate Tells More Than People Want to Know......

While we focus mostly on politics here at SC6, I know that some of you love the non-political stuff we find . So, with that in mind, here is a tidbit that happened on the way back to Hilton Head tonight....

We talked about bumper stickers a little while back, but there are other ways people express themselves in their cars. You have those little blue and black stickers on the car that let others know you are an off-duty cop. Then we have the judge and state representative tags that tell the cops "don't bother pulling me over even though I'm doing 110, I'm not worth the headache."

Those things can be useful I suppose, but I saw a license plate holder that said something that made me wonder why we need to know this.... It said "Professional Court Reporter"..... All together now......... WTF ????????? Is this some useful information that will assist someone in an emergency? I can picture a highway patrolman standing over an injured driver, yelling "This man is dying...DOES ANYONE KNOW SHORTHAND ???????!!!!!!" And what's with the 'professional' thing? Are there amateur court reporters??

Pick on her all I want, but the lady was driving a Mercedes SLK 350, so I guess she has the last laugh, right? It's okay. For all I know, she's writing a blog, picking on a guy with a Ukraine sticker on his car.......

Proof That Hillary Wouldn't Mind Being 'Under Barack Obama"......

You've Got the Look, You've Got the Look... The Look of Love ?

Maybe you've seen it before, but I hadn't , so I thought I'd pass this on to you.... I was going through YouTube again, and I ran across this spoof clip of MadTV , with Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. I'll warn you now - it's pretty rude stuff...

It was obviously made last fall, when Clinton was still 25 points up on Obama. It's a spinoff of Rhianna's 'Umberella', with the lyrics changed to 'under Barack Obama'. Yep, it's the whole Black Guy/White Girl thing, but it is a bit ironic eight month later, with the tables turned 180 degrees, where Clinton is literally begging to be Obama's VP.

Sorry if it offends, but that's what Mad TV does, and we do like to shake things up here on occasion too......

SC6's Guide of Women's Terms to Avoid Hearing....

Does This Look Familiar Guys?? What Did We Do NOW ?????!!

I'm not leaving this for you guys out of experience... I've been pretty stellar as far as dealing with the ladies goes lately - of course, having been single for an eternity, I haven't had to go traipsing through that minefield for a while.......

However, I have been there and done that previously, so I can attest to the correctness of this list. Here are a few general things women will say, and what they ACTUALLY mean. Hopefully, this will help you avoid the pratfalls that we men often pole vault into unwittingly. Wow, i just used traipsing, pratfall and unwittingly all in the same post ! I must have swallowed a dictionary today....... Thanks, Bobby.

9 WORDS WOMEN USE

(1) Fine: This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up.

(2) Five Minutes: If she is getting dressed, this means a half an hour. Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given five more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house.

(3) Nothing: This is the calm before the storm. This means something, and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with nothing usually end in fine.

(4) Go Ahead: This is a dare, not permission. Don't Do It!

(5) Loud Sigh: This is not actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men. A loud sigh means she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you about nothing. (Refer back to # 3 for the meaning of nothing.)

(6) That's Okay: This is one of the most dangerous statements a woman can make to a man. That's okay means she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.

(7) Thanks: A woman is thanking you, do not question, or Faint. Just say you're welcome. (I want to add in a clause here - This is true, unless she says "Thanks a lot" - that is PURE sarcasm and she is not thanking you at all. DO NOT say "you're welcome" . that will bring on a "whatever").

(8) Whatever: Is a women's way of saying ____ YOU!

(9) Don't worry about it, I got it: Another dangerous statement, meaning this is something that a woman has told a man to do several times, but is now doing it herself. This will later result in a man asking "What's wro ng?" For the woman's response refer to # 3.

Here's a Guy Doing Some Good for WWII Vets.

The World War II Memorial in Washington DC....

I was watching Fox News Sunday this morning, like I usually do - as long as I get up by 900AM. They always end with their 'Power Player of the Week'. It often is a DC power broker, but sometimes, they have a person who does something good, and that was the case this week....

They honored Earl Morse, a former Air Force captain and Physician Assistant. What good deed does he do? It's an organization call Honor Flight. What they do is raise money privately to fly World War II veterans to the World War II Memorial in DC. Built in 2004, it is the newest memorial in DC, and there is a good reason Morse is working so hard on is cause....

World War II was a long time ago, and those who fought in it are dying at an incredible rate - over 1000 per day. Morse's goal is to let as many vets see the tribute to their heroism as possible before they die. So far, he has flown in over 1400 men, and still has another 800 on the waiting list alone. Time is definitely not on Morse's side, but I'm sure just getting one of them to DC is worth it.

Honor Flight is broken up into multiple regional groups, and the nearest one I could locate is in the Upstate, so if you want to contribute , or find out more, here is the link..

Speaking of Schoolhouse Rocks.....

I was going through the YouTube clips of Schoolhouse Rocks, and I ran across a spoof of it from MAD TV. It's kind of a modern day version of Schoolhouse Rocks, where No Child Left Behind meets the NEA....

SC6 Shows You Why Nothing Ever Gets Done in DC, Courtesy of Schoolhouse Rock....

Thirty Years Later, it Still Rings True...........

While we continue with this 'most important' of presidential elections, I hope that we have burned into your brains one undeniable fact - who is president is less important than who in Congress. Why? As Vince Vaughn said in 'Wedding Crashers'..... Let me hold your hand and explain it to you like a 6 year old.....

Basically, every bill that is passed starts in the House of Representatives, and the long trail of BS starts from there. I can go into long detail, with lots of options and charts, but there is no clearer way I can explain it than by how we learned everything as kids in the 70's...........Schoolhouse Rock.

Aside from '3 is a Magic Number' , 'I'm Just a Bill' is probably my favorite Schoolhouse Rock song. I know many of you who read SC6 are political insiders, and are familiar with the legislative process, but for some of you this might widen your horizons - and show you that President McCain or Obama won't be the earth-changing event you're hoping for. In short, a new President with the same old Congress means no change, and that folks is something you can believe in.........

McCainiacs Are Having Trouble Getting Excited - At Least For the Election.....

According to a recent AP-Yahoo poll, supporters of John McCain just aren't as excited about the election than supporters of Barack Obama are. In fact , a paltry 9% of McCain feel excited about the election, compared to 38% of Obama supporters. That sounds about right.. Obama is a bit of a machine right now, and it being his first run, there are a lot of first timers out there who are very jazzed up.

While the numbers for Obama seem encouraging, the numbers for McCain shouldn't be so discouraging. Why? Because we're Republicans, and we don't get excited about anything !!!! I just his the lottery? That's nice. My hot stock just split six times? Cool...... Ms. X is coming to my house in five minutes? guess I better shave......

Republicans are not excitable people. We just go along and do our jobs - without emotion or any excitement. We're political robots. We're Terminators...... Just do the job and win, baby.

Maybe McCain won't win. Obama will be very tough, and the McCain campaign has a lot of the attributes of Bob Dole in '96 - like he's due for his shot, but without a lot of fanfare. But, just because we're not doing handsprings in the streets for McCain, doesn't mean all is lost......

Keep your wits, folks... It's a long way til November......
