Philosophical Stuff for Sunday

Well, being as it is a Sunday, and a gorgeous one at that; especially out here in the desert. I am taking the lazy tack today. So I’ll leave you with some philosophical “thought-stuff” today. 

Remember, the more that things change, the more they stay the same.

 


“I will not serve that in which I no longer believe whether it call itself home, my fatherland or my church: and I will try to express myself in some mode of life or art as freely as I can and as wholly as I can, using for my defense the only arms I allow myself to use, silence, exile, and cunning.” - James Joyce

“In general, the art of government consists in taking as much money as possible from one party of the citizens to give to the other.” – Voltaire

“The problem with Socialism is that eventually, we run out of other peoples money.” Margaret Thatcher

“Religion is a byproduct of fear. For much of human history, it may have been a necessary evil, but why was it more evil than necessary? Isn’t killing people in the name of God a pretty good definition of insanity?” Arthur C. Clarke

The further Adventures of Maladjusted

Published by The Argus under commentary Edit This

Miss Mal, the worlds foremost research specialist in the field of…Personal Ads Placement and Societal Male Ego Analysis Research! i.e. PAP-SMEAR, Has graciously consented to share with us today some more pearls of wisdom, (not to be confused w/a pearl necklace,) on the trials and tribulations; (still waitin’ on the tribulations part, don’t hold your breath on that,) of dating the maladjusted female.


Realize that you aren’t the first man who thinks that on a first date it is acceptable to try and give me a ride that will make me scream “OHMYGODOHMYGODOHMYGOD”…However if you are a pilot of an F-16 ..you may be the first man that gets the chance to try…. *seriously, any takers?*

If you invite me over for dinner, hide your girlfriends hairbrush ANYWHERE but the medicine cabinet. I WILL find it there as I am looking to see what sort of meds you are on..though I am fairly sure I know what you SHOULD be on..

If you haven’t worn life jackets on your prior kayaking trips , be forewarned, you will not be paddling your corroding vag-oar down this river.

Sure I have “daddy” issue’s, but if you are that much older than me, I will NOT be fixing them with you.

If at the end of the night, I am acting like I am on a sugar high, and STILL don’t want to lay you..best guess..those rufies you slipped me, were placebos.

Understand, I am not like other people. While they may frown when they discover that you carry your benzo’s in a Scooby-doo shaped PEZ dispenser ..I think it is genius…

If anyone has an idea for Miss Mal to research, please let us know. And make sure it’s a really, really GOOD idea too. If you haven’t figured it out yet, I DO NOT want to be in the same room as a maladjusted Miss Mal. Your ideas had better be damn funny too, as I sure wouldn’t want to be on the flip-side of her wrath.  miss-mal1.jpg                                                        (Miss Mal studying men)

Have a great weekend folks!!

Response to Complaints about the Current State of America

Was browsing my favorite fodder - CraigsList - And was rather amazed by the huge amount of whining about the state of the country these days. So, being the witty, urbane dude that I am; I thought that I would address this from the viewpoint of a TRUE American: Ladies and Gentlemen, I introduce to you Red Nexxus, redneck to the stars…


Yeah, America shore is bad. Why we only got 550 cable TV choices currently! Hell, in them third-world countries, you gotta, like, READ A BOOK for entertainment! WTF is wrong with those people? And in Botswana, they don’t even HAVE Grand Theft Auto version 4? HAH, you call that an emerging country? DID YOU KNOW that there is NO Casual Sex on CraigsList in Namibia? Damn, thank god we live in America! Shit, and DON’T even get me started on the lack of bondage and pedophile websites in Saudi Arabia. Can you imagine having to ask your wife or girlfriend for sex? Slippery slope, this… Can honesty, trust, integrity be far behind? I shore hope the fuck not!!

This is America, after all. We do EVERYTHING bigger and better here.

I mean the best scam that Africa can put together is “The Nigerian Lotto” scam? Childish. The “You’ve won the Irish Sweepstakes courtesy of Microsoft” contest. 3rd rate at best. Can you say Bernie Madoff? Can you say mortgage? Do you know that in most foreign countries leadership wants you to have a place to live? No wonder those backroads places like Monte Carlo and Cannes have such limited appeal to tourists! I mean hell, France has Notre Dame, and that Louvre thing. Man, see, that’s what’s great about America-Them silly Frenchies spend their weekends lookin’ at art ‘n stuff. WE GOT NASCAR !! That thars yer cultoore stuff in a nutshell.

In Italy, they’re sooo backward that they STILL go to the opera. WE GOT NASCAR AND Wrestling !!

Why, I even read that in some third-world nations they - like - worship the same god they have for 3000 years. BoooRRRING. In America, We change daily, Lessee, today’s Wednesday-I’ll do Kabala. Now Fridays, that’s Scientology day. Don’t even get me started on Mormons. Did I mention NASCAR?

When I am sitting in my local bar, drinking beers for a buck, watching guys who make 175 million dollars hit baseballs. I’m failing to see the downsides. I’ll bet you didn’t know that in them thar ferin countries, the government expects you to go to work? And I mean daily!?!? More than once?!? How many times you gotta do somethin’ ‘fore you realize ya don’t like it?

In conclusion, I agree with you that America just sucks; that’s why me and the missus are headin’ out to that island paradise in the Caribbean where everyday is pure pleasure and no wants or worries. Yep, that’s right folks - Haiti here I come!!

Construction Bidding - Chicago Style

Published by The Argus under Humor, commentary Edit This

Three contractors are bidding to fix a broken fence at the White House.

One is from Chicago, another is from Tennessee, and the third is from Minnesota.

All three go with a White House official to examine the fence.  The Minnesota contractor takes out a tape measure and does some measuring, then works some figures with a pencil. “Well,” he says, “I figure the job will run about $900: $400 for materials, $400 for my crew and $100 profit for me.”

The Tennessee contractor also does some measuring and figuring, then says, “I can do this job for $700: $300 for materials, $300 for my crew and $100 profit for me.”

The Chicago contractor doesn’t measure or figure, but leans over to the White House official and whispers, “$2,700.”

The official, incredulous, says, “You didn’t even measure like the other guys!  How did you come up with such a high figure?”

The Chicago contractor whispers back, “$1000 for me, $1000 for you, and we hire the guy from Tennessee to fix the fence.”

“Done!” replies the government official.

The Official Solution to ALL of the Problems in the Middle East!

Published by The Argus under Humor, commentary Edit This

We’re not gonna take it!

I have to VEHEMENTLY disagree with Tzipi Livni’s belief that Israel must give up half its lands for peace.

I shall base this argument on Geography and math.

OK:

 

1)    The TOTAL surface area of Israel is 7,992 square miles (smaller than New Jersey)

2)    The total surface area of the USA is 3 million 6 hundred thousand square miles

3)    The total surface area of the Arab world is, drum roll here,
Five MILLION two hundred and fifty thousand square miles!

Why won’t the Arab nations give the Palestinians land for their own state?

These guys have SO MUCH land that they can build INDOOR skiing resorts!

Hell, Why don’t they just build the world’s largest shopping mall, call it “The Gaza homeland and discount dollar store” and call it a day? Two birds with one stone!

And the benefits for Israel are tremendous. The next time the Hamassholes launch a missile, We’ll only have to blow up ONE  building!!  Win-Win situation here.

Feel free to call me at anytime to offer me the job of Middle Eastern arbitrator.

Here, for the non-Jew is a short summary of every single Jewish holiday:  They tried to kill us; we won; let’s eat.

The Wit and Wisdom of Oscar Wilde

Published by The Argus under Humor, commentary Edit This

Well, todays’ entertainment is a collection of my most favorite quotations from Oscar Wilde. Enjoy…


I sometimes think that God in creating man somewhat overestimated his ability.In all matters of opinion, our adversaries are insane.

It is better to have a permanent income than to be fascinating.

Moderation is a fatal thing. Nothing succeeds like excess.

Some cause happiness wherever they go; others whenever they go.

There is nothing so difficult to marry as a large nose.

To lose one parent may be regarded as a misfortune; to lose both looks like carelessness.

When I was young I thought that money was the most important thing in life; now that I am old I know that it is.

When the gods wish to punish us they answer our prayers.

Work is the curse of the drinking classes.

All of us are in the gutter, some of us are looking up at the stars.

A cynic is a person who knows the price of everything and the value of nothing.

A dreamer is one who can only find his way by moonlight, and his punishment is that he sees the dawn before the rest of the world.

A gentleman is one who never hurts anyone’s feelings unintentionally.

A kiss may ruin a human life.

A little sincerity is a dangerous thing, and a great deal of it is absolutely fatal.

And Finally:   A man can be happy with any woman as long as he does not love her.

Honest Answering Machine Messages

Published by The Argus under Humor Edit This

Short and Sweet for a Sunday; here are a couple of quality suggestions for your answering machine messages.

Hello. I’m not at home right now because I’m out making changes in my life so leave a message and if I don’t call you back, you’re probably one of those changes. (BEEP)


I’m not at home today, and I might not be home tomorrow. So please leave a message after the tone. I didn’t take a shower today, and I might not take one tomorrow. So if you don’t leave a message after the tone, you might have to deal with me in person. (BEEP) 

And in closing - The words of Oscar Wilde: “It is better to have a permanent income than to be fascinating. “

Introducing…Maladjusted!

Published by The Argus under Humor, commentary Edit This

Hi folks,

Well gosh darn, aren’t you the lucky ones? Today we’re introducing you (and the rest of the world): quick hint - HIDE WORLD! Run, run away! to… Miss Maladjusted.

By way of introduction, Miss Maladjusted; and don’t even THINK of addressing her sans the Miss prefix; you’re already in enough trouble as is.

Quick synopsis, Miss Mal is the worlds foremost research specialist in the field of…wait for it here…Personal Ads Placement and Societal Male Ego Analysis Research! That’s right! PAP-SMEAR, recognized around the world, which I believe gave birth to the term “small world”, as THE leading expert in the field of personal ads analysis. (Note: Currently she is the only person in this field, which, in NO way diminishes her from being the leading researcher in said field).

Miss Mal, as it is, has generously consented to sharing some of her thoughts and mind-crimes with you today and in the future. Trust me. Just say, preferably in a droning monotone: “Thank you , Mal”. And leave it at that. After you’ve been subjected uh, I meant honored by, her presence, you will be able to correspond with and ask advice of the Goddess.

Everything you thought you were properly addressing in your quest for female companionship is wrong, even the stuff you’ve been doing correctly; wrong, just plain and fucking simply wrong. (She’ll also address those of you who do fuck simply, Whew, I do not EVEN want to be in the same blogosphere when that comes down.) And, NO!!! Blogosphere is NOT the recently deposed governor of Illinois.  

I do believe that that is enough of an introduction for Miss Mal, I shall let her take over from here…


Ever read an ad that advertises “Bonus points for…(insert something unattainably ridiculous)”?  

What is it that the “bonus points” actually get men?


1-5 instead of dirty looks behind your back you get them to your face


6-10 instead of the typical “I’m FINE!” answer when something is obviously wrong.. you get ignored completely.


11-15 instead of being accused of talking to other women, it is just limited to being accused talking to your exes.


16-20 instead of slamming shit around in a very passive aggressive manner during your football game, your credit cards take a trip to the mall.


21-25 instead of sending you 50 texts a day, your house is driven by 50 times a day.


26-30 instead of withholding sex..she demands it all the time..missionary with no emotion.


31-35 instead of talking about how you don’t measure up to her moms expectations, she just compares you to her ex boyfriend.


36-40 instead of the extent of “feminine issues” in the tampon aisle, you get the details in full on the comfort of your own sofa.


41-45 instead of cheating on you, she just flirts with every male in sight then blames it on your imagination.


46-50 You are forgiven for not being a mind reader..this time, next time you should know better.

What is it that the “bonus points” actually get women?

1-50 sex


Ok, Ok, that was stereotypical. It is a proven fact that men know very little about women (not by any fault of your own). However, the only thing that men do have a grasp on is “where it goes” and even the porn industry has ruined that..leaving men confused, and women pissed and unsatisfied..People think that I am a man hater..not true. All these years I’ve argued with women when they are comparing men to pigs or dogs, Unfair comparison. Pigs are smart..and dogs are loyal.

Ouch..that sounded like drama and baggage…Any one want to send me hate mail now?..bring it on: Miss_Maladjusted@yahoo.com

Bottle of Merlot

Published by The Argus under Humor Edit This

Good Morning and Welcome to Friday the 13th of February. Friday is just as likely to fall on the 13th as any other date. We’ll encounter it again next month!!

Mark Twain once was the 13th guest at a dinner party. A friend warned him not to go. “It was bad luck,” Twain later told the friend. “They only had food for 12.”

Remember: “Everything in your life has led you up to this moment… and Bikini Girls with Machine Guns.”

R.I.P. Lux Interior.

Your Friday Funny

A man asked a waiter to take a bottle of Merlot to an unusually attractive woman sitting alone at a table in a cozy little restaurant.So the waiter took the Merlot to the woman and said, ‘This is from the gentleman who is seated over there.’ ..and indicated the sender with a  nod of his head.

She stared at the wine coolly for a few seconds, not looking at the man, then decided to send a reply to him by a note. The waiter, who was lingering nearby for a response, took the note from her and conveyed it to the gentleman.

The note read:

For me to accept this bottle, you need to have a Mercedes in your garage, a million dollars in the bank and 7 inches in your pants.

After reading the note, the man decided to compose one of his own in return. He folded the note, handed it to the waiter and instructed him to deliver it to the lady.

It read:

Just to let you know things aren’t always what they appear to be, I have a BMW Z8, Mercedes CL600, and a Porsche in my several garages; I have beautiful homes in Aspen & Maui, and a 10,000 acre winery in France . There is over twenty million dollars in my bank account and portfolio. But, not even for a woman as beautiful as you are, would I cut off three inches. Just send the bottle back.
