Another example of a shit-hole company trying to copyright the English language!
Just thought I'd share that with y'all!!!

I took this picture today while heading home... It's not even Thanksgiving yet and here in all it's hideous, Walgreens acquired, corpulent upper-middle aged white woman glory; sits all things wrong with how we now "celebrate" Christmas!
Wasn't it just a few short years ago that it was bad form to place Christmas shit out before Thanksgiving?! I mean wasn't it like tradition that it was after Thanksgiving that people went and found a tree, killed it, brought the fucker home and threw lead tinsel and placed dangerous and poorly made Chinese strands of lighted death on it!? I suspect Bear Sterns or
the Dept. Commerce may be in on this...
What was this holiday supposed to be about????
I've been hanging on to these two stories for a few weeks; wanted to spread out the driving posts a bit.
About three weeks ago, on a Saturday morning, I'm approaching at a stop light onto a very busy 4 lane street. The drive I'm on is not really a street just serving as access to a chain restaurant and a couple small stores. As I am making my way up to the light, which is red, I become suddenly and shockingly aware that someone that was waiting in the main roads left turn lane just nanoseconds before has decided that he CAN NO LONGER WAIT OUT THE LIGHT and guns it for the right turn lane that I am approaching. He runs up the right turn lane, against traffic to blast passed me, forcing me to engage the anti-locks and flies by me on the little side street that I'm on. Remember it goes no where, except to a Steak and Shake, which is where is turns in and heads for the drive thru.
He nearly hit me, to order shitty breakfast food.
Of course he gave me the, "get fucked and get over it look" with which I am familiar having given it a time or ten myself.
I was completely in shock. As I've said before, I drive a lot and I see a lot of really stupid fucking people do really stupid fucking stuff, but this was a first.
As you can imagine, I was sorely tempted to chase his ass down, but my better judgement came over me. What good would it have done? Is he going to change his ways and not think he's the most important mother fucker on the road? No not likely. So I just shrugged, said "fucking asshole" and went on down the road.
I did spend the next few minutes though hoping for and imagining him choking on his food at that same light only to be found later by his family. I know...I think shit like that sometimes.
I probably should have that checked out.
The Walking Dead premiered on AMC on Halloween night. I've been anticipating this adaptation since they announced they were making it last year.
I was not disappointed.
One of the best comic book adaptations ever. Up there with the first Spiderman movie and Iron Man.
Not only did it adapt the source material faithfully, it expanded upon it very well. I figured it would be good. After all, the writer, Robert Kirkman, was on set, the producer/director, Frank Darabont, was the guy behind some of the only GOOD Stephen King adaptations; The Shawshank Redemption, The Green Mile and The Mist.
I've read the series twice now and I ended up watching the premiere trying to figure out what was going to happen next. There were truly some creepy scenes in it and I was very pleased with the way they moved things around or spent an extra 5-10 minutes on character development.
This show is going to be up there with the other greats that have been on cable over the last decade; The Shield, Battlestar Galactica, Dexter.
But enough of the positive shit. I can't break character.
