I seem to get more hits when I post a picture. So here is a neat one.
Click for larger picture, if you dare.
This fish is an alligator gar. It had a certified weight of 215 pounds with a total length of 7 feet, 11.5 inches and a 40 inch girth. Caught in the Mississippi River on 5/3/03 on a homemade jig.
Holy shit! When I was a teenager, I was in Sea Scouts and sailed on the Mississippi River. I went swimming in that river. Who woulda thunk there was sumpin' this big in the river?
Today (Thursday), I went back to the hand doctor. The appointment was for 9:15. We got there at 9:00. The doctor saw us at 10:30. I hate the medical profession. He looked at the cast and said it had to come off. This was a question we were asked when we were taken back to the exam room. We didn't know. So now we had to wait for someone to remove the cast.
The cast guy finally came and removed the cast. "Don't worry about this saw. It makes a lot of noise, but it's perfectly safe."
The doctor came back and looked at the hand, said everything looked great, and the stitches could be removed.
The cast guy came back and removed the stitches. Two of 'em hurt big time, but I didn't scream tho' Cindy told me I turned an interesting shade of red.
Then, the cast guy put on a new cast. This one is in blue and I have much better use of my right hand. I can actually hold a fork now. So Ralph Gizzip, you can quit calling me lefty. I can even play my guitar with my thumb. Finger picking has to wait until June 23 when I get the current cast off.
In the Atlanta Urinal and Constipation they have a feature known as The Vent where people can call in and state whatever is on their minds. Here's a neat one:
If it takes a village to raise a child, it takes the village idiot to stay married to a lying, cheating, two-timing, scumbag.
Remember, Hillary is held up as a role model for a strong independent woman. Now I know strong independent women. Cindy is one of them. If her husband, Michael, had put her and her daughter through half the stuff that Bill put Hillary and Chelsea through, Michael would be lucky to be alive. And if he were alive he would be neutered and homeless.
Let's talk about irony. Irony is Hillary Clinton speaking out about rape and sexual harassment when she is married to a sexual pig. Irony is the woman's movement holding up Hillary as a role model for independent women when she stayed with a scumbag like Bill solely for political power. And, she was instrumental in destroying any woman who spoke out about her sexual predator of a husband. Do you think Hillary would be a senator if she had divorced Bill? You women on the left should be ashamed of yourselves. Michael Barone stated it best about NOW, "We know what they are. Now, we're just haggling over the price".
And here's another example of irony from Thursday's AJC in an article about the violence in the Middle East.
"What are the Israelis thinking when they fire their guns on children? Don't they value life at all?" a tearful Masri asked as nurses wheeled her unconscious daughter Saana to an operating room to treat a compound fracture and determine whether she had any internal hemorrhaging.
This is a Palestinian who glorifies death when a suicide bomber takes out innocent Jewish women and children. Masri, if the Jews were as bad as the Palestinians, there would be no more Palestinians. But, I really think Israel is getting close to the breaking point. I'm worried that they may get fed up and start acting like Palestinians and go on a rampage. Abbas, and his puppetmaster Arafat (Look! When Abbas talks, Arafat's mouth moves.) said they would not use force against Hamas and Islamic Jihad, and Hamas and Islamic jihad said they would not stop killing Jews, so, it looks like the Road Map to Peace is now a dead end.
Here's an idea. Tell the Palestinian savages that every Jew killed will push back the establishment of a Palestinian state by one month. Naw! That wouldn't work either. Let's go back to my previous idea. Animals should either be exterminated or put in cages. Let's round up all the Palestinians and herd 'em down to Gaza and build a big ol' wall around it.
It's the only humane thing to do.
