Scoping out a website and this guy's statement that no dinos were on Noah's ark because they were genetic abominations created by fallen angels really blew me away.I keep looking , but so far no luck on a chapter and verse for this moronic claim. Yep, he said dinos were walking around still when Noah built the boat. It must have been a real bummer having your crops, livestock and the occational farmhand eaten prior to the flood. I bet you think it's a pain when a dog uses your front lawn, so imagine the pooper scooper you'd have needed back then?

Well, the day has officially started with getting up,walking the worthless dog and getting the standard replacement of ," I need breakfast.", in lieu of good morning from the kid .Settling down to scope out my emails,low and behold, another of the "Go paperless" messages from the many institutions whose little plastic cards of financial death I store for them in my wallet.

While I support trying to keep the mud ball we live on at least somewhat clean and even go through the city mandated weekly ritual of separating my recyclables so they can come and dump them willy nilly into the back of a regular garbage truck, I REFUSE to go paperless with the credit card companies.

Why is this,you may ask? After most of them getting bailed out by my taxes to cover their inate greed at the top of the corporate food chain's paycheck bonanza and the inept practices of sending out a billion, "You've been Pre-approved" cards to anyone and everyone, they decided to get even more by kicking up the interest rates on the working slobs of this country that now pay for the deadbeats that got the cards ,maxed them out, and tossed them in the trash.Nothing like getting  "rewarded"  for paying your damn bill on time by having your card rate go from twelve percent to twenty.You call to find out why and get told,"It's because you have a revolving balance." Know what that means? It means you don't pay your card off a hundred percent every month. If I wanted to put out the cash every month for what I buy,WTF do I need with a credit card? Just pay cash or use my damn debit card.

 Stop getting paper statements so their profit margins can go even higher by cutting their expense to send them out, while they put a stranglehold on my wallet and keep up doing the same crap they did to sink the economy to pay for their screw ups?!?

Pffffttt ! Bite me.

Something not so lame that you know the end before it's half done.

I would have to say it was when I worked on a chicken farm that raised chicks to laying age before shipping them out. Cages were stacked three high with plywood under each level to catch the crap.

My job was to shovel it off twice a day for two bucks an hour.

That has to be balut. Balut is a very popular food in the Philippines, usually as breakfast or a late night snack. It is a fertilized duck egg that is about half developed  and is boiled. You crack it open, put some vinegar on it and there you go.If you get past how freaking weird and disgusting it looks,it tastes like a cross between a hard boiled egg and duck.

Philadelphia is big,overcrowded, dirty, we had over 400 murders last year, drug dealers almost own their neighborhoods by threats and violence, section 8 housing that is supposed to be for the elderly and disabled is full up with welfare cases, the beurocrats rape the city coffers to take lump sum retirment then before leaving appoint themselves to a new office without retiring, the last mayor tried to hire his wife as a "consultant" for the city at 250 thou a year and when that got shot down by the people,he tried to hire his brother as one at 30 thou a month, this was the same brother he gave the contract to maintain the luggage carosell at the airport when his brother didn't have a company that did that sort of thing for 1.1 million, there were 76 cars stolen in my district last week, the cops pulled a raid on the section 8 house behind me at 6:30 AM wearing swat gear and carrying sub machine guns, the school my daughter goes to is built to hold 2000 kids and had 4000 in it last year because people in bad sections claimed to live in this area and bused their kids here.This year they actually checked residency requirements but ran out of time before school started so that culled it down to 3000 kids, packs of section 8 kids break into cars and homes daily in this area and let's not forget their ^%$& spray painting their crap on anything that doesn't move.

Do I live in a bad section of the city? It was upper/ middle class until the city turned it into 50% section 8 as far as rentals go about two years ago.Every other house on my block is section 8 that never even cut their lawns until the city finally gets on the owner.

What do I like best about Philly? The fact I'm moving the hell away from it in about two years when my wife retires.If this place had a handle,you could flush it.

I've always picked up hitchers since I've done it alot myself in the past. Back in the day, it was how most of us got around if you had any distance to travel. My longest trip hitching was from Chicago, Il to Buffalo, NY back in the 70's.

I go by what my mom told me once, "Do whatever you want to in life as long as you don't hurt yourself or anyone else."
