Things that make you go hhmm.... 9

Everybody seems to be getting in on the witty quips on roadside signs these days but some of them don't seem to me to be so "witty" For instance:

YOUTH HAS
NO AGE

To me, this is just stupid.... or how about:

I LEARNED EVERYTHING
I KNOW AFTER
I TURNED THIRTY

I'm sorry but I happen to be just short of fifty and still learning everyday..

More hhmmm....

CANADA....YAY!

Will we still be the Country of choice and still be Canada if we continue to make the changes forced on us by the people from other countries that came to live in Canada because it is the Country of Choice??????

Think about it!

All we have to say is, when will they do something about MY RIGHTS?

I celebrate Christmas, but because it isn't celebrated by everyone, we can no longer say Merry Christmas. Now it has to be Season's Greetings.

It's not Christmas vacation, it's W inter Break. Isn't it amazing how this winter break ALWAYS occurs over the Christmas holiday?

We've gone so far the other way, bent over backwards to not offend anyone, that I am now being offended. But it seems that no one has a problem with that. This says it all ! This is an editorial written by an Toronto newspaper. He did quite a job; didn't he? Read on, please!

IMMIGRANTS, NOT Canadians MUST ADAPT.
I am tired of this nation worrying about whether we are offending some individual or their culture. Since the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, we have experienced a surge in patriotism by the majority of Canadians. However, the dust from the attacks had barely settled when the "politically correct! " crowd began complaining about the possibility that our patriotism was offending others.

I am not against immigration, nor do I hold a grudge against anyone who is seeking a better life by coming to Canada Our population is almost entirely made up of descendants of immigrants.
However, there are a few things that those who have recently come to our country, and apparently some born here, need to understand. This idea of Canada being a multicultural community has served only to dilute our sovereignty and our national identity. As Canadians, we have our own culture, our own society, our own language and our own lifestyle. This culture has been developed over centuries of struggles, trials, and victories by millions of men and women who have sought freedom.

We speak ENGLISH/FRENCH, not Spanish, Portuguese, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Russi an, or any other language. Therefore, if you wish to become part of our society, learn the language!

"We Stand On Guard For Thee" is our national motto. This is not some Christian, right wing, political slogan. We adopted this motto because Christian men and women, on Christian principles, founded this nation, and this is clearly documented. It is certainly appropriate to display it on the walls of our schools.

If God offends you, then I suggest you consider another part of the world as your new home, because God is part of our culture.

We are happy with our culture and have no desire to change, and we really don't care how you did things where you came from.

This is OUR COUNTRY, our land, and our lifestyle.

But once you are done complaining, whining, and griping about our flag, our pledge, our national motto, or our way of life, I highly encourage you to take advantage of one other Great Canadian Freedom

THE RIGHT TO LEAVE.

It is Time for Canada to Speak up
If you agree, pass this along;
if you don't agree, ignore it and move along!

AMEN

I figure if we all keep passing this to our friends (and enemies) it will also, sooner or later get back to the complainers, lets all try, please......

48 Laws Of Power.... 5/6

Law 5

So Much Depends on Reputation – Guard it with your Life

Reputation is the cornerstone of power. Through reputation alone you can intimidate and win; once you slip, however, you are vulnerable, and will be attacked on all sides. Make your reputation unassailable. Always be alert to potential attacks and thwart them before they happen. Meanwhile, learn to destroy your enemies by opening holes in their own reputations. Then stand aside and let public opinion hang them.

Law 6

Court Attention at all Cost

Everything is judged by its appearance; what is unseen counts for nothing. Never let yourself get lost in the crowd, then, or buried in oblivion. Stand out. Be conspicuous, at all cost. Make yourself a magnet of attention by appearing larger, more colorful, more mysterious, than the bland and timid masses.

BTW - I have set comment verification because of the asses that spam the comments. I had to remove 4 different ones in the past two days. Sorry....

Things that make you go hhmm.... 8

Everybody has been in buildings with halls and aisles that are wide enough for two people to pass, one in one direction and one in the other....

Why do some people insist on walking side by side and refuse to move to single file when they see someone else going in the other direction?

Just where do they think you're going to go?

Will you just dissappear into the wall until they pass?

Will you jump up to the ceiling only to come down after they have passed?

Same shit happens on a sidewalk.

How can they feel that they are important enough to make you move to the grass to get out of their way?

Do they own the sidewalk? Not likely....

I'm really not sure what these people are thinking.... or not......

48 Laws Of Power.... 3/4

Law 3

Conceal your Intentions

Keep people off-balance and in the dark by never revealing the purpose behind your actions. If they have no clue what you are up to, they cannot prepare a defense. Guide them far enough down the wrong path, envelope them in enough smoke, and by the time they realize your intentions, it will be too late.

Law 4

Always Say Less than Necessary

When you are trying to impress people with words, the more you say, the more common you appear, and the less in control. Even if you are saying something banal, it will seem original if you make it vague, open-ended, and sphinxlike. Powerful people impress and intimidate by saying less. The more you say, the more likely you are to say something foolish.

Things that make you go hhmm.... 7

I watched this one progress through three weeks and I don't think it's over just yet.

The first act was either missed, ignored or purposefully enacted by the perpetrator, we won't really know for sure. A box that had held a brand new hand truck/fridge cart, had been thrown, blown or just simply left on the edge of one of our streets. The first time I actually saw it, it was leaning up against a steel railing along the edge of the sidewalk on a curve. Innocent enough and I didn't pick it up as I was usually headed for work and walking with this box for a couple of miles is just not an option. On the other hand, I was managing to get rides home from co-workers so I had no option to pick it up on the way home.

Anyway, this box managed to migrate across the sidewalk and ended up on the lawn of local private college where it remained for two weeks. About two weeks ago, the college maintenance department decided to have the lawn cut. The person cutting the lawn was, I have to assume, lazy enough that he did not move the box, but cut the grass all around it, leaving it in place. really quite curious.

This past Monday, the lawn was cut again, however, the box was moved this time to facilitate the cutting of the grass in that particular spot. Now get yer humming ready, the person who cut this lawn, simply moved the box back to the sidewalk.....

Now, this is a very prominent private college that is very visible on a highly visible piece of property in our city and one would think that they would have taken that piece of trash somewhere for disposal..


Here are some pics of the offending item...


You will note the nicely cut lawn, tire marks are from a truck that had erected a nice new sign on this corner of the property.

Oops, you might recognize the brand of coffee but more important, this was the box and the placement on the lawn. Note the grass around it that was not cut.

Here it is in it's final resting place. This is on the sidewalk about 10 feet from where it originally landed.


This one shows just how long the box actually sat on the lawn as it was killing the grass.


Sorry about the blur on this photo but it was more or less taken just to give a clearer reference to the position of the box.

As a final word, who was the worst, for lack of better word here, person, the one who left the box, the one who just cut around the box or the one that moved it back to the sidewalk to cut the grass properly?

hhmmm....

48 Laws Of Power.... 1/2

Law 1

Never Outshine the Master

Always make those above you feel comfortably superior. In your desire to please or impress them, do not go too far in displaying your talents or you might accomplish the opposite – inspire fear and insecurity. Make your masters appear more brilliant than they are and you will attain the heights of power.

Law 2

Never put too Much Trust in Friends, Learn how to use Enemies

Be wary of friends-they will betray you more quickly, for they are easily aroused to envy. They also become spoiled and tyrannical. But hire a former enemy and he will be more loyal than a friend, because he has more to prove. In fact, you have more to fear from friends than from enemies. If you have no enemies, find a way to make them.

Transit commissions, this one has been around for awhile.

There is a claim that ridership is down and that they did not garner the revenue that they expected for a particular fiscal period.

Solution: cut the number of routes (so now we don't have to spend the money for gas or employees to drive on them) and up the fare price (so we make more from the people who ride the routes that are left)

This one is just one of those situations that you gotta shake your head over.

More money + fewer routes = more profit? (Fewer routes - fewer riders = less profit)

Sorry, Looks like the same profit margin, possibly. still can't see the sense....

Hhmmm....

The Office Jerk

Every office has at least one jerk, pest or loudmouth who drives the rest of the workers crazy.

Could it be you? Take this quiz to find out how annoying you might be:

How many of these statements describe you?

1. You make provocative statements to "foster dialogue" or needle others.

2. You often find yourself delivering a discourse consisting solely of buzzwords and catchphrases.

3. You make up nicknames for all your co-workers and refer to them only by these names. (e.g. "Good job, Chachi!"; "I'm going to have to disagree with you there, T-bone!")

4. Your office is completely decorated with your children's pictures and artwork.

5. You have plastered your cubicle with photos of yourself taken with famous people.

6. It is your trademark to recite rhyming or other cutesy messages as your voice mail greeting.

7. The questions you ask at meetings are preceded by long monologues of your views and accomplishments.

8. You routinely eat odoriferous lunches at your desk.

9. You bring in dishes that you tried to cook -- but didn't turn out quite right -- as "special treats" for your co-workers.

10. People seem tense -- even panic-stricken -- when they see you coming their way.

11. Others back away from you as you speak.

12. You send flurries of e-mails to the rest of the company telling them what you are doing. (e.g., "If anyone needs me, I'll be in the bathroom.")

13. You vigorously chew or pop your gum.

14. You wear strong perfume or cologne.

15. You assume your co-workers are fascinated by your personal problems and exploits.

16. You interrupt others while they are speaking or are deep in conversation.

17. You are moody and don't care who knows it.

18. You often give others assignments as they're walking out the door for lunch or to catch the train home.

19. You borrow staplers, scissors and tape from others' desks and forget to return them.

20. Your dialogue with others often end with the other person shouting, "You are so annoying!"

If you counted one or two, not to worry, you quickly can make changes before you're labeled a pest.

If your actions match three to five of these statements, take heed. You are on your way to becoming the source of many an eye roll.

If you do six or more of these on a regular basis, chances are you are already on the office watch list and have been anointed by your co-workers as annoying.

It's time to do a reality check and make some changes. Ask your boss and colleagues for feedback and be ready to listen. If what you hear doesn't fit your self-image, ask them to help you understand what they are saying by giving examples.

You might say: "Tell me more about what I do that leads you to believe that." Then listen, without arguing, defending or justifying your actions.

Remember, there are countless ways to aggravate co-workers -- you even can annoy them by trying too hard to please or being too nice. As long as you avoid the aforementioned behaviors, use your energy for the good of the organization and treat others as you would like to be treated, you should be all right.

And remember, it's perfectly OK to annoy others sparingly. It reminds them that you still exist.

You are driving along and an ambulance comes tearing up behind you with the lights flashing and the siren blaring, what do you do?

Look in the mirror and think,

"What the hell is that?",

"Why the hell should I move over?",

"You got the lights and siren, you find a different way"

Or maybe just ignore looking in the mirror and think "what is that noise?"

You know that those people will be the first to scream bloody blue murder if one of their kin died because of that exact kind of foolishness....

Finally, a good blonde joke!

Guy gets on a plane and finds himself seated next to a cute blonde. He immediately turns to her and makes his move.

"You know," he says, "I've heard that flights will go quicker if you strike up a conversation with your fellow passenger. So let's talk."

The blonde, who had just opened her book, closes it slowly and says to the guy, "What would you like to discuss?"

"Oh, I don't know," says the guy, smiling. "How about nuclear power?"

"OK," says the blonde. "That could be an interesting topic. But let me ask you a question first. A horse, a cow, and a deer all eat the same stuff -- grass. Yet the deer excretes little pellets, the cow turns out a flat patty, and the horse produces muffins of dried poop. Why do you suppose that is?"

The guy is dumbfounded. Finally he replies, "I haven't the slightest idea."

"So tell me," says the blonde, "How is it that you feel qualified to discuss nuclear power when you don't know shit?"

Sure we live in a rich country.

We have politicians who send huge amounts of money and supplies to other countries for disasters but mostly just for the poor and underpriviledged of the world.

What about the people in their own country?

Because they live in our own towns and cities makes them less deserving?

Why not send truckloads of condoms to the rather prolific, under developed, not to mention poor, countries to stop the "poor children" from suffering?

If they had less procreation, there would be a lot fewer suffering children.

And again, hhmmm....

The English Language

If you ever feel stupid, then just read on. If you've learned to speak fluent English, you must be a genius! This little treatise on the lovely language we share is only for the brave. Peruse at your leisure, English lovers.

Reasons why the English language is so hard to learn:

1) The bandage was wound around the wound.
2) The farm was used to produce produce.
3) The dump was so full that it had to refuse more refuse.
4) We must polish the Polish furniture.
5) He could lead if he would get the lead out.
6) The soldier decided to desert his dessert in the desert.
7) Since there is no time like the present, he thought it was time to present the present.
8) A bass was painted on the head of the bass drum
9) When shot at, the dove dove into the bushes.
10) I did not object to the object.
11) The insurance was invalid for the invalid.
12) There was a row among the oarsmen about how to row.
13) They were too close to the door to close it.
14) The buck does funny things when the does are present.
15) A seamstress and a sewer fell down into a sewer line.
16) To help with planting, the farmer taught his sow to sow.
17) The wind was too strong to wind the sail
18) After a number of injections my jaw got number.
19) Upon seeing the tear in the painting I shed a tear.
20) I had to subject the subject to a series of tests
21) How can I intimate this to my most intimate friend?

There is no egg in eggplant nor ham in hamburger; neither apple nor pine in pineapple.

English muffins weren't invented in England or French fries in France.

Sweetmeats are candies while sweetbreads,which aren't sweet, are meat.

Quicksand works slowly, boxing rings are square and a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig. And why is it that writers write but fingers don't fing, grocers don't groce and hammers don't ham?

If the plural of tooth is teeth, why isn't the plural of booth beeth?

One goose, 2 geese. So one moose, 2 meese? If you have a bunch of odds and ends and get rid of all but one of them, what do you call it? Is it an odd, or an end?

If teachers taught, why didn't preachers praught?

If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat?

In what language do people recite at a play and play at a recital?

Why do we ship by truck and send cargo by ship?

How can people have noses that run and feet that smell?

How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites?

You have to marvel at the unique lunacy of a language in which your house can burn up as it burns down, in which you fill in a form by filling it out, and in which an alarm goes off by going on.

English was invented by people, not computers, and it reflects the creativity of the human race, which, of course, is not a race at all.

That is why, when the stars are out, they are visible, but when the lights are out, they are invisible.

P.S. - Why doesn't "Buick" rhyme with "quick"?

Picture this, someone walking along a fairly clean street with well kept and neat homes.

They happen on a rock garden along the way that has taken some time and money to enhance both the personal property of the owner and the street in general.

What posseses them to kick the rocks out of the garden and tear up some of the plants?

Did the formation offend them in some way?

Did it spell out some demonic enscription only decipherable by a few?

Maybe the rocks are giving off some sort of gas that sends a person into a rock kicking frenzy?

10 signs your child is a hacker

School maybe out for summer, but kids are still behind the keyboard

School's out, and if your child is acting, well, suspiciously while on his or her summer holidays, there's a chance he could be making some cash on the side - as a computer hacker. Here are the top-10 signs your child has entered this nefarious business:

1. Your phone bill lists 1,987 household lines.

2. Your son tells you that his private interview with the secret service agent was for a social studies class essay at summer school.

3. You receive mail addressed to Phil E. Phreak.

4. The kid cheers Lex Luthor whenever a Superman movie runs on TV.

5. The CEO of a major telecom provider appears on your doorstep, sobbing uncontrollably and begging forgiveness.

6. You find a copy of Phrack magazine hidden under the underwear in your son's bedroom dresser.

7. The kid asks for a Novell Access Server for his birthday.

8. The little silver-coloured wheel on your electric meter spins so fast it flies off, slices your neighbor's elm tree neatly in two and flattens a tire on a Chevy Monte Carlo three blocks away.

9. Your son's English teacher calls, sounding really curious, to ask why the kid selected the Edmonton phone directory for his monthly summer school book report.

10. He names Robert Morris Jr. as his "ideal role model."

How about when someone is walking along a street, has eaten a chocolate bar, candy, drink or pretty much anything taken for food these days, and throws the wrapper/container on someone elses front lawn. I just can't figure out what they may have been thinking.

"I carried this thing far enough to consume it but no frickin way I can carry the lighter weight, less bulky wrapper/container any farther to dispose of in a more friendly, proper manner. It is way too heavy after having to carry it this far and now that I have eaten it...... ?"

You might think they would then have the energy to carry it the rest of the way to their pristine abode......

On the other hand, maybe they have been collecting for far too many years or have a hubby like " My Husband's Crap " or " 100 REASONS WHY I HATE MY HUSBAND! "..

Sorry guys, seem to fit the bill here.
