A word of warning. Don't get old! Yesterday, I made my airline and hotel reservations for the monoski camp that I'm attending at Snowmass in January. Turns out I cannot count (or read, apparently) and I made my flight going out to Aspen on January 8 instead of January 7. Fortunately, I had a 24 hour cancellation option so I was able to cancel and rebook.
On top of that, I've been working on my refi. Spent a lot of time on the phone already today.
Also, I'm winding down from Eric's birthday bash. I haven't posted the required linkage of the people who were there, or added the newbie to my blogroll. I'm waiting for Elisson to write his post blogmeet poem. I can then steal the linkage from him.
So, on this rainy day in Beautiful Dunwoody I'm lazy. I mean it is really raining here. According to this AM's Atlanta Urinal and Constipation, the rain was not supposed to arrive until late afternoon. It was raining when I woke up this morning. So riddle me this. We have people who cannot predict the weather 24 hours in advance and these are the same people who think that they can predict weather ten years from now and declare with certainty that the planet is gonna die due to AGW. WTF?
Here's a joke from Ron. No this isn't about Eric and his lovely wife Fiona.
Now I'm really surprised that the doctor didn't save them some money and do redneck birth control. What's that, I hear you ask? You give a redneck a beer can with a cherry bomb (or an M80) with a six second fuse in it. You hand him the beer can, light the fuse and tell him to count to ten. After he reaches five, he puts the beer can between his legs to change hands. Boom! Quick and cheap.
Posted by denny at October 27, 2009 02:54 PMIs six seconds enough time to reach the point of having to change hands?
Posted by: Largebill on October 27, 2009 03:45 PMIt was wonderful to see you again Denny!!! I still haven't done my post blog meet round up either. I'm still trying to get work under control.
I've come to the conclusion that it's better to leave work for a month than for a single day. Good Grief!
However, it's so much fun heading to Eric's place that I'll just slog through the extra work rather than not go. ;-)

Hold a beercan in one hand & start counting to ten using your fingers ...... see what you do when you get to five then heading to six. DUH!

Posted by: Eric on October 27, 2009 07:30 PMI haven't put mine up either. I had such a great time and now... I'm back home and stressed out. I can't believe it's the same frickin' week.
Posted by: Bou on October 27, 2009 10:14 PMA cousin of the family had the exact opposite response. When asked if they knew what the new baby was going to be, implying sex. He replied, "Hopefully a Mexican, I need some landscaping work done". Yeah,I know, I'm a racist.

Posted by: Sandy G. on October 28, 2009 06:59 AMWhy does Ann Coulter's family picture always appear in these hillbilly meme's?
I'm not being funny, it is right off of her website........
I think it sucks. She is a true American and the opprobium shown her is disgusting.
The redneck birth control method is one of the funniest things I've read.
Posted by: thatjerryguy on October 28, 2009 10:02 AMAnd since we're ALL homicidal, gun totin' Trailer Trash, there HAS to be the requisite redneck somewhere in the pic, sightin' Ol' Betsy in on a signpost or something...

With all due respect and affection, on behalf of my fellow Tennesseans, bite us.
