This is a post that will remain here all the time.

All replies to it are screened and will remain screened and not just so it appears that no-one has ever had a problem with me ;).

Essentially it is so you can tell me anything, be it good, bad, or even, heaven forbid, a problem with me. *LOL*.

It is also a place to let me know if you have a problem in, or with, one of the communities I moderate.

It is an anything post. It's up to you what it is :).

Hey everyone,

I am about to lose access to the internet for a while. How long is a while you may ask. No effin' idea is my reply. I'm thinking we are talking months, as opposed to less time, or more time.

I'm hoping a lot of things will work out ok over the next little while, so I would appreciate any positive thoughts etc. you could send my way. If however you have any negative thoughts send them toward politicians as goodness knows the impact of the negative thoughts will have run out by the time they make their way through the bureaucratic process ;).

I wish you all well and believe me when I say each and every one of you, no matter how small our conversations on here may have been, matter to me. I will not hold it against you should you choose to remove me from your friends' list during this time, but I will be saddened. I hope each and every one of you have great news to share when I return and I would like to say thank you for bringing me the pleasure you have and for sharing your lives with me, it has meant a great deal to me and here's hoping it will continue.

Take care...Unless of course "care" doesn't belong to you, in which case it's stealing and that will result in you being sent to the naughty chair in the naughty corner ;).

[Caution! Curefreak is | confused]

So what do you all think about the guy who was arrested for making coffee, in his own home, naked, at 5.30am by a woman who was walking past with her son?

The article, in case you haven't seen it, is here. Or alternately ( clickaphobes can read it under here. )

The only real logic I can see with it is that she had been listening to The Boomtown Rats' "I don't like Mondays", she realised it was a Monday and she thought he was going to shoot her with his exposed weapon!...WHAT??? It's about as plausible as this guy being arrested for indecent exposure FFS! ;)....Though lucky for him he was making homemade coffee, as you really wouldn't want to spill McDonald's coffee on yourself if you were naked! *GRIN*.

So I was reading through LJ and I click a NSFW cut. There is a porno picture under the cut. Now being a guy I looked at the picture and then read the comments, yes ladies, we guys do actually read the articles in those girlie magazines (Taken guys, the Paypal donate button is on my user info page ok?!).

One of the first comments...What? I said we read, I never claimed it was a lot!....Anyway one of the first comments was "Ha, ha, ha, I went to school with her!"

I got to reminiscing. I've inadvertently come (don't you dare pun people!) across pictures of people I know naked, though as yet not hardcore porn.

I used to work with a girl who appeared naked in the Aussie cult movie "Bad Boy Bubby" and a couple of people I knew by sight who studied drama at my university also appeared naked in simulated sex scenes in that movie.

Another time I was flicking through one of those very soft porn, as in no hard or soft thingies in sight, magazines in the newsagent and under the "Readers' wives/Home girls" section was a selection of pictures of the woman who worked in the deli down the street from my home....sadly for all concerned it didn't result in me shopping for bread and milk more regularly!

So I am curious, and feel free to answer anonymously if you wish :), have you ever seen someone you know in a situation like this when you weren't expecting it?

This link is worksafe, sort of. By that I mean if your boss walks past and looks you will be fine. If however he or she stops and looks for a while it may be deemed not to be.

I suppose it's best described as a Where's Wally/Where's Waldo type of advertisement, though I sincerely hope Wally/Waldo was nowhere in the vicinity when this shot was taken.

I seriously spat coffee out of my nose when I realised what was going on, which would have been fine except I hadn't drunk a coffee for 6 hours!

So NASA are launching their attack, ehh, sorry, "exploratory bombing", on the moon around nowish. They claim that they are seeking water, but personally I think the Americans just didn't like the way it was looking at them, so they decided to hit it! Or maybe they simply got a tip Osama was hiding there.

I'm curious as to your thoughts about it. In my mind it is an absolutely huge waste of money and there are so many places this money could be better spent, that said I have been saying on here for as long as I've had an LJ that I think much of what NASA does is a waste of money and more of a status symbol than a useful entity.

One thing I am relieved about is that it is the U.S. doing this. Had it been North Korea, or any of those other countries considered "suspect" this week by the West there would have been outrage, suspicion and most likely a war, as it would have been labelled as a terrorist attack on world communal property.

I just received a comment on an entry that reminded me of yet another story about my Dad. I may have imparted some of it before, but I recently I found out more, so it is worth posting.

My Dad was woken at about 3am by the police hammering on his door. At that point he had no idea that it was the police. He jumped out of bed, ran to the door, grabbed the baseball bat that sat just inside the door (because you know burglars never use the front door and even if they did they wouldn't pick up the bat and use it on you if they found you at home!). He flung the door open, holding the baseball bat to face the two cops. It was at that point he realised that save for the baseball bat he was completely naked!

The police were looking for a previous tennant, a gentleman named Froggie Rollick, I kid you not! They refused to believe that my Dad was not Froggie and demanded entry to the house. Then, to my Dad's amazement, they insisted on patting him down, despite the fact that he was stark naked! To quote me Dad "I really don't know what they were thinking, I mean I am not big enough down there to hide a pocket knife, let alone a gun!".

Madness, a result of nature or nurture, the debate continues.

Hey, advice giving people of my friends' list, I just received an advice request. They did not specify whether they wanted just serious replies, or fun ones too, so I am going to say give them whatever you like :).

Oh and remember you can also advise anonymously if you wish.

Anonymous asks:

say you got a job because the person doing the hiring and who would be your boss was sexually attracted to you and rigged the process so you'd get it.

would you rather:
a) know beforehand
b) actively contribute beforehand by providing sexual favours
c) find out a few months later when your boss tells you of the attraction which hasn't gone away
d) find out a few months later when your boss kisses you and tells you there'll be trouble if anyone finds out?

This would have to be on the list of things that defence lawyers don't get to say too often: "You know it cannot have been a good night when you get into a fight with two cross-dressing men."...Mark Davies, defence lawyer.

This story absolutely cracked me up. There is CCTV footage of the incident too.

Click to read the story and see the video.

For those click-a-phobes basically some drunken Welsh chav idiots try to beat up what they think are drag queens in a homophobic attack, only to find out they are actually cage fighters, cross dressing for a fancy dress night...the results are as you would expect :).

I've just come up with a great money making idea! It is selling knee pads and tongue cleaners to the members of [info]ask_me_anything. I mean they spend enough time on their knees, licking the mod's butt to need so many that they will make me a rich man.

I'm not saying this out of bitterness, nor have I been scorned by anyone there recently, but rather from a sociological point of view the sycophancy in that place is mind blowing. I know I should leave, but bugger me with a fish fork, it's like watching multiple car wrecks involving child molesters, rogue politicians and Nazis ie. it's a sickening thing and yet perversely entertaining at the same time! (As opposed to suggesting the community members are any of these things)

Take a look at this post and the replies and tell me if you think I am overreacting. If you think I am, please let me know, as I am really curious as to whether I am alone in finding this disgusting and bizarre behaviour. The reason I am asking is that I have issues with authority and I am wondering whether this is a case of those rearing their head again, or if this is in fact just complete masturbation and ass lickery from some of the community's members.

A quick question for you all and no, I'm not running with some sub-plot/guilty conscience/subtle dig or anything....and I also can't help but laugh at the concept of me and subtlety going together ;).

In either your LJing today, or real life, or heck, upgrade to mega meal deal and answer for both, have you noticed there is a lot of anger and drama around, or is it just me? Also, are you finding yourself in a bad mood today?

This is not directed at any of you, rather it's just a general observation :). My mood is fine, but I wonder if I'm in the minority and based on my LJ reading it seems I am.

I was just linked to a site that reports frivolous, but successful law suits filed in the U.S. and thought you might enjoy it. But if you don't FFS don't sue me ok?!

"Proof of entitlement mentality...
It's time again for the annual "Stella Awards"! For those unfamiliar with
these awards, they are named after 81-year-old Stella Liebeck who spilled
hot coffee on herself and successfully sued the McDonald's in New Mexico
where she purchased the coffee. You remember, she took the lid off the
coffee and put it between her knees while she was driving. Who would ever
think one could get burned doing that, right?

That's right; these are awards for the most outlandish lawsuits and
verdicts in the U.S. You know, the kinds of cases that make you
scratch your head. So keep your head scratcher handy. Here are
the Stella's for the past year:

7TH PLACE:
Kathleen Robertson of Austin, Texas was awarded $80,000 by a jury of her
peers after breaking her ankle tripping over a toddler who was running
inside a furniture store. The store owners were understandably surprised by
the verdict, considering the running toddler was her own son.

6TH PLACE:
Carl Truman, 19, of Los Angeles, California won $74,000 plus medical
expenses when his neighbor ran over his hand with a Honda Accord. Truman
apparently didn't notice there was someone at the wheel of the car when he
was trying to steal his neighbor's hubcaps.

5TH PLACE:
Terrence Dickson, of Bristol, Pennsylvania, who was leaving a house he had
just burglarized by way of the garage. Unfortunately for Dickson, the
automatic garage door opener malfunctioned and he could not get the garage
door to open. Worse, he couldn't re-enter the house because the door
connecting the garage to the house locked when Dickson pulled it shut.
Forced to sit for eight, count 'em, EIGHT, days on a case of Pepsi and a
large bag of dry dog food, he sued the homeowner's insurance company
claiming undue mental Anguish.
Amazingly, the jury said the insurance company must pay Dickson $500,000
for his anguish. We should all have this kind of anguish.

4TH PLACE:
Jerry Williams, of Little Rock , Arkansas , garnered 4th Place in the
Stella's when he was awarded $14,500 plus medical expenses after being
bitten on the butt by his next door neighbor's beagle - even though the
beagle was on a chain in its owner's fenced yard. Williams did not get as
much as he asked for because the jury believed the beagle might have been
provoked at the time of the butt bite because Williams had climbed over the
fence into the yard and repeatedly shot the dog with a pellet gun.

3RD PLACE:
Amber Carson of Lancaster, Pennsylvania because a jury ordered a
Philadelphia restaurant to pay her $113,500 after she slipped on a spilled
soft drink and broke her tailbone. The reason the soft drink was on the
floor: Ms. Carson had thrown it at her boyfriend 30 seconds earlier during
an argument. What ever happened to people being responsible for their own
actions?

2ND PLACE:
Kara Walton, of Claymont, Delaware sued the owner of a night club in a
nearby city because she fell from the bathroom window to the floor,
knocking out her two front teeth. Even though Ms. Walton was
trying to sneak through the ladies room window to avoid paying the
$3.50 cover charge, the jury said the night club had to pay her
$12,000....oh, yeah, plus dental expenses.
Go figure.

1ST PLACE: (May I have a fanfare played on 50 kazoos please)
This year's runaway First Place Stella Award winner was Mrs. Merv
Grazinski,of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, who purchased a new 32-foot Winnebago motor home. On her first trip home, from an OU football game, having driven on to
the freeway, she set the cruise control at 70 mph and calmly left the
driver's seat to go to the back of the Winnebago to make herself a
sandwich.

Not surprisingly, the motor home left the freeway, crashed and overturned.
Also not surprisingly, Mrs. Grazinski sued Winnebago for not putting in the
owner's manual that she couldn't actually leave the driver's seat while the
cruise control was set. The Oklahoma jury awarded her, are you sitting
down,...$1,750,000 PLUS a new motor home.
Winnebago actually changed their manuals as a result of this suit,
just in case Mrs. Grazinski has any relatives who
might also buy a motor home"

OK, so it's time to celebrate the banned books in America apparently. Someone asked what people were doing to help celebrate it and I replied that I was secretly slipping porn into teenagers' backpacks as they headed to school.

Then I looked into these banned books a bit more and found on the list of the top 100 most challenged books in the U.S. between 1990 and 1999 was "Where's Waldo?". Now WTF? Did they do a special where he went to Cuba or something? Why would you want to ban a book that helps Americans seek out the Commies under their beds? ;).

I'll admit I was sure that I wouldn't be the only one, but having posted on TQC (The Question Club) it would appear that perhaps I am. As you are aware I know my mind is pretty much always in the gutter, fighting for room with the drunken hobo. Speaking of that drunken hobo, he now has self-esteem issues since none of you would pleasure him for $1 million!. Anyway, I saw the title of a book yesterday and it is called "Claude and Medea: The Hellburn Dogs", it's a children's book, but come on, surely you can see the adult joke in the title can't you???

Perhaps you can't, as this world is a strange place. We are taught that a great deal of our food taste comes from smell, so I ate 4 roses yesterday and they tasted effing revolting! Still it is important to eat your greens. Then I smelled freshly laundered clothes and low and behold they tasted terrible too!

I just do not understand this world!
