Argh

I just wanted a spell checker. That’s all. But Word Press wants me to install a plug-in to do it. And they all crash and lock the system…..

 

Technology. Ain’t it great?

On line?

Ok, after an afternoon spent loading all the old Blogger blog entries onto this new site, I went home and found that I could not log back into the new URL. It simply didn’t exist according to the browser.

Well, it seems there was a bit of a problem propagating the new URL through the mystical world of DNS… I THINK it’s fixed now, though. Leave a comment if you do visit, just so I know it works. Thanks!

Home Sweet Home

Well, I’m trying to get all settled in here. Luckily, Word Press works pretty well as far as importing stuff. I am going to be a while learning all this, though.

You know

I take a lot of potshots at the MSM these days for their obviously slanted stories. This, however is crossing a line. National media is completely ignoring a bomb threat that forced the evacuation of the New Mexico State University campus at Las Cruces. The threat was phoned in by a middle aged man with an Arab accent…..

I guess they don’t want to admit there is a war on and terror threats are real.

By the way, I have been unable to find ANY other reference to this event other than the local news outlet linked above. That includes in any newspapers or television stations in New Mexico itself.

Update: I have found exactly one other local station that has this item now.

H/T LGF for the heads up on this.

Must have had a hot date

A Florida man was apprehended while trying to buy condoms and cologne with a phony $100 bill. We presume he missed his date since he has yet to make bail……

Blogger is again eating posts

I just had a post eaten by Blogger. I am kind of tired of this. One of the blogs I read regularly, Betsy’s Page, has been completely erased by Blogger.

Today’s theme

Appears to be seniority. I’ve noted before how odd news items seem to come in groups (see Blue Crab Boulevard: And this is even worse“>).

It seems that aging Canadian baby-boomers surveyed recently are much more likely to spend their time watching television or surfing the web than in engaging in sex and romance. The study was sponsored by the company that makes Viagra.

Here at Blue Crab Boulevard, we see a solution. Send deprived Canadians for a vacation in Italy!

Don’t drink and drive

Police in Italy stopped a car when they observed it zig-zagging in an erratic fashion.

They were somewhat surprised to find the car’s passenger was a completely nude 70-year old woman who had been trying to have sex with the car’s 59-year old driver.

The driver tested at three times over the legal limit for blood alcohol.

So, for all you adventurers out there, remember, if you’re going to have sex while driving, don’t drink!

There is no word whether the woman in the car is a member of a strippers union with seniority.

[I don't think the drano was strong enough.]

A great victory for workers everywhere

The union that represents strippers in Australia, Striptease Artists Australia, has won the right for the performers to have a meal break and to get overtime pay.

Well, I guess it’s some kind of progress for the strippers. But a couple of questions come to mind:

A strippers union?

Is there going to be [shudder] seniority?

Somehow, the thought of a little old grey-haired granny dancing about with her walker comes to mind here…….

Excuse me, I have to go wash my minds eye out with Drano…..
