Thursday already?!

   Posted by: Yoggie    in Errata

I have no idea what happened to Tuesday or Wednesday, I’m not even sure about this morning. I remember going to work then going home then back to work. I remember working… and sleeping.

Here it is the last day of March and I don’t know where the month went.

You can tell you’re getting old when you blink and two days go by.

And I’m really sleepy. Like I went to bed at 12:30 last night but I woke up a 5 this morning. Only 4 1/2 freakin’ hours of sleep. No wonder I’m sleepy. And I was having such a good dream last night about two beautiful young women Emily Perkins and Katharine Isabelle. No, not that kind of dream. It had something to do with werewolves. I guess it is because I rented and watched the last two parts of the Ginger Snaps trilogy, Ginger Snaps: Unleashed and Ginger Snaps Back: The Beginning, last night. If you are unfamiliar with the Ginger Snaps movies, they are a trio of werewolf movies that center around two sisters Ginger and Brigitte who cursed with lycanthropy. The movies have a lot of sexual overtones tying lycanthropy with puberty, lesbianism, and drug addiction redefining the werewolf genre. I personally like the Ginger Snap movies and would love to own the trilogy (hint, hint).

The two stars of the Ginger Snaps saga….


Emily Perkins (she also played young Beverly Marsh in Stephen King’s It)


Katharine Isabella (yes, she played Gibb, the girl in the shower in Freddy Vs. Jason, though the nudity was played by a body double)

March to the beat of the SS drummer

   Posted by: Yoggie    in Blurred Opinion

Ooooo, I am mad. Mad with a capital M as My foot wants to kick some idiots’ collective asses up to their collective necks. Why you ask? Let us go back to last night…

Last night I was listening to a daily radio program that I usually catch when I’m driving at night. The host is very insightful and informed and is patient in allowing other’s to express their views even when they do not match his own. On his show last night he had a female minister. I have nothing against female ministers, in fact I wish there were more of them, but this woman just plain irked me. What irked me was her views on homosexuality and relationships. Now I know the church looks down on homosexuality as a sin, but this woman was going extreme. Her main point was that there is no degrees, you were either straight or gay. She went so far as to say that one encounter with someone of the same gender makes you totally homosexual, regardless of the relationships before and after. In her world there were no bisexuals (she claim they were just deluding themselves) or those who experiment, you are 100% gay. This woman missed the entire point of homosexuality…. it is not who you slept with, but what gender you prefer, what gender you have feelings for. I know the host was sitting on his hands the whole time trying not to strangle her. Ans she has the gall to blame STD’s and AIDS on homosexuals. Then she said something that put her on the death list of all incarcerated males… all men in jail are gay because you know what happens behind bars. Please do not equate homosexuality with prison rape. Luckily I had to leave the car at that point.

Later a news program interviewed this guy (I didn’t catch his name) who said the welfare is full of unwed parents and that to insure child welfare we should scrap the current system in place and pressure the parents to marry. My jaw dropped to the floor. I was luck I was at a stop light when I heard it or I would have been in an accident. The guy had the misguided notion that if the parents were married that all the financial problems would just evaporate. Then he said that we should persuade people not to get married and have children until they are financially able, in his words own a house, have a good paying job, have plenty of money in savings, and have lots of assets. In other words, if you are poor don’t have children or get married. And he said that parents should stay married regardless of the home situation and the relationship. When the interviewer ask him if that includes abusive homes, he said YES! Then in the next breath he talks about the sanctity of marriage. When asked about single well to do parents, the guy just shrugged if off by saying there weren’t any that you can’t afford to raise a child on your own. I can’t believe this guy wants people to stay in abusive relationship and ignores child abuse. What happens to the family if the parents suddenly fall on hard times (which is easy to do these days)… take away their kids until they are solvent again? It was lucky that the interviewer quickly ended the interview.

Then came news about the bankruptcy reform and why more and more politicians are against it. It seems that the bill proposed actually helps big business and wealthy persons to hide more of their assets from creditors, while decreasing what smaller companies and less wealthy people can keep. The senator interviewed was amazed that the two houses would even considered the bill and he said that he pities anyone who is poor getting a fair chance at starting again since everything they own will be seized. He said companies like Enron would keep almost everything they own and creditors would get almost nothing. Are the current administration and legislators trying to widen the gap between the have’s and the have-nots?

And then I read this about a Canadian having all sorts of problems trying to cross the border to the U.S. in order to get to a meeting. I am flabergasted at how asinine we have become over our fear of terrorism. I am dismayed that the people in power are so paranoid (and/or drunk with power) that they do what they did to this guy.

Sometimes I wonder if we are heading full throttle into a fascist state.

And it didn’t help matters this morning when I heard a senator make the statement on teaching evolution that there are many people in government that are more than willing to increase the wars in the Middle East, spread Christian zealotry through out the world, and bring about the Apocalypse using American politics and power.

I’m expecting God to start throwing some lightening bolts at a few people pretty soon.

All hail the King (Burger that is)

   Posted by: Yoggie    in TV and TV Reviews

I guess by now you’ve all seen the two latest Burger King commercials. The first in the new wave that featured the return of the Burger King himself was a disturbing, low tone commercial “Wake Up With the King” about the Double Croissan’wich. That has got to be the most bizarre commercial I’ve ever seen. If I’d seen this plastic headed monstrosity wake up next to me I’d been screaming and running, especially after he reached back. For all I know he could be some psycho masked killer reaching for a hacksaw.

On par with this commercial is the latest BK commercial about the Tendercrisp Bacon Cheddar Ranch. It features Darius Rucker (lead singer for Hootie and the Blowfish… he is not Hootie!) singing a song based on Big Rock Candy Mountain while dressed as a cowboy ala Sheriff Bart of Blazing Saddles. The commercial looks almost like a porn movie. The guys are all chiseled and the women are all made up, busty, and revealing. Everything just screams of a surreal porno. The cast includes beautiful model/host “Wild On” Brooke Burke, exotic model Vida Guerra, lovely Dallas Cheerleader Monica Cravinas and two other Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders, possibly the Sorell twins (Annie Sorell and Alicia Lorén), and who appears to be porn star Jenna Jameson (warning: link to adult content). The whole thing reminds me of a Gap commercial gone wild.

And I can’t help but watch it. It must be all the psuedo-porn in the commercial.
