The line must be drawn here!

"They invade our space, and we fall back. They assimilate entire worlds, and we fall back. Not again. The line must be drawn here! This far and no further! And I will make them pay for what they've done!"

These words were uttered by none other than Jean-Luc Picard himself, in reference to that vile threat that call themselves 'Borg'. And now they have tread upon my own backyard. Imagine my revulsion, my rising fury, when I chanced upon their latest victim--still alive and kicking in my kid's wading pool.



He told me his name was 'Locroakus' and that resistance was futile. Though my heart was filled with pity, I dealt with him swiftly and humanely. Of course, I fried the legs. You don't let that go to waste. And I'm trying to reverse engineer the borg implants, to find a weakness I can exploit.

For, just like Jean-Luc, I will have my revenge. Yeah, I may let my boys play with toads and frogs until they die from overhandling, but I would never be so cruel as to run neural implants into their brains and turn them into some half-frog, half-machine monstrosity.

Take this as a warning, Borg, ...I'm coming for you!

VP material?

http://wunderkraut.com/ has a breaking news report of a third candidate throwing his hat...er head into the Presidential race.

I think I just might have found a worthy running mate:

Ultraman Rules!

Great stuff! I used to love Ultraman as a kid. This is still every bit as good as I remember.

Oh it's suppertime! It's suppertime!

It always cracks me up when my buddy Mike, over at http://wunderkraut.com/, blogs about food. So, in honor of Mike, I give you this:





Courtesy of 'the magical animal', I present to you ham steaks grilling in bacon grease--which I'm sure breaks some sort of Levitical law.


And now for the final product: ham, bacon, biscuit, omelet, hashbrowns, and milk!



Emeril got nothin' on me. ('scuse me now, I got to go take my Zocor.)

Finally, the internet has lived up to its potential!

Free Star Trek, original series!!!

Man, I am not getting any work done around here tonight.

Why I didn't run for president...

'Cause I'd try to unite the whole North American Continent and probably get assassinated. As this quiz just proved:


http://quizfarm.com/quiz_repository/new/7147/



Which Great US President Are You Most Like?
You scored as Abraham Lincoln

16th President, in office from 1861-1865 Born: 1809 Died: 1865 (assassinated)
Abraham Lincoln 76%
Theodore Roosevelt 76%
Thomas Jefferson 55%
Lyndon Johnson 52%
Woodrow Wilson 48%
Dwight Eisenhower 48%
Harry Truman 48%
George Washington 45%
John Kennedy 38%
Ronald Reagan36%
Franklin Roosevelt 33%

And like Cullen, http://halfapica.blogspot.com/, I think the quiz is biased toward Lincoln.

A day short and a dollar late

Man, I'm always the last to know about anything! Apparently Hillary died about three or four days ago. I guess that's one less Democratic candidate for the presidency.

And who knew she was also the first woman to climb Mt. Everest?

Things that don't add up

Fred Rogers was quite possibly one of the coolest people who ever lived. When I was watching his show as a child, I felt like I really was in his living room and he was speaking just to me. Man what a great neighbor. One of my college buddies had an autographed photo of Fred Rogers that was personalized: To Brent, best wishes--Fred Rogers. Or something close to that. I was always jealous of that photo. I think it was actually this one, or one very similar:





The only thing that has never added up to me was this one puppet:




Lady Elaine Fairchild is scary and evil, and I don't want to go into her museum. It has to be a terrible, terrible place.


What was up with that puppet?

My pledge to you

It has been pointed out to me by a source that will remain unknown, for now, that I made something of an error in my previous post. Specifically that I might be off just a bit with my estimate of how many people are actually reading this blog.

How far off you ask? I had the same question.

By a factor of thousands I was told.

Wow, that far off!

So my pledge now to my MILLIONS of readers is that I promise, even with such great numbers of rabid fans, that I will not let this site degenerate into some ad-laden, shameless self-promoting debacle of a site. I pledge to keep blogging only about the things that really matter. The things that are really key in life.

Like I am doing right now.

So, thank you, my millions of fans. Now if each of you will send me just a few dollars. Just one or two from each of you. Then I can go ahead and buy my own domain name and make a site that is worthy of such a populous readership. I will soon post a Paypal account button to let the money come rolling in.

As soon as I figure out how.

Blogging for dummies

Blogging for Dummies...should have read it. Thank you Wunderkraut for pointing out to me what I realized a few days ago and then promptly forgot. I have now enabled comments so that anyone can respond to my posts.

Sorry to my thousands of fans. Feel free to let loose with a flurry of comments.

Stating the obvious

Low tonight is:

24°F Feels Like 19°F

And that is for 6 am in the morning, about the time I will be leaving for work. Where is all this global warming when you need it? Come on Al Gore, didn't you just get a Nobel Prize for inventing Global Warming? Send just a little of that heat this way, whydoncha?
