Bluetooth Xing

Do you have salespeople walking around your office making sales calls on their douchey little bluetooth earpieces.  I do.  Since humor is civilized hostility, I hung this on the wall near one of their favorite “paths”.

You may need to see it at full size to see the subtle alterations.  I think my message comes through just fine.

Why no posts?

Why no posts? I’ll tell you why no posts…

1. The wife got me a Wii for my birthday. As I stated when I first heard of the Wii, I’m not interested until I can control a lightsaber. That has happened with The Force Unleashed. How is it? It’s exactly the fanboy pantswetting experience I was hoping for.

2. The wife has happened upon another animal rescue. Our local recycling center apparently doubles as a leper colony for stray cats. One of the healthy ones is currently in our house and will be available for adoption once her tubes are tied.

3. One of our “Full Time” cats, Simon, had a brush with death. One of his back legs was punctured and became infected. The infection then spread everywhere. Luckily, we caught it in time and he is now back to 100%. We’re guessing our psycho-bim cat, Caitlin, attacked his leg while going through the cat door to the basement. The bite wound went the whole way through his leg. If I could prove it was her, I’d smack the crap out of her.

4. INVASION OF THE STINKBUGS! Stiinkbugs have attacked Western Pennsylvania. Since it’s still warmish out, we still have our air conditioners in. Seems these little suckers are able to squeeze in through the cracks between the window frame and the air conditioners. This past weekend was the worst. It was like a zombie movie. I’m trying to board up the windows while shopvac’ing up the ones who made it in. Little stinky zombies, I tell you.

5. So, if you know me, you know my wife is an animal lover. Well, her company uses glue traps to deal with any rodents that sneak into the building. The other day, a small snake happened to find its way into one of these traps. So, she digs it out of the dumpster and brings it home so we can safely return it to the wild. Now mind you, neither of us have any idea what kind of snake this is or whether or not it’s poisonous. She’s still determined to free this little wiggler. So, after some googling, she discovered that vegetable or olive oil breaks down the bonding agent in glue traps. Sure enough, after a considerable amount of wiggling, our little snake was free. He’s currently relaxing in an adhesive free container in our garage and will be returned to his woodland home tomorrow.

That’s why no posts.
