Wow Friday already Seem like I’ve posted most everyday this week! Oh! WAIT! I HAVE posted almost everyday this week!

As I noted on Memorial Day it generally is thought of as the unofficial start of Summer. I forgot one other thing it makes the start of however, Graduation Season. Going to have a house full of Molly’s relatives for the weekend. OK actually only my 3 In Laws, but with every available bunking surface claimed PLUS 2 cats its going to seem like a house full. Molly’s nephew is graduating high school and everyone is coming in to witness the miracle it seems. So I’m off to a weekend of Sun, Sweat & Pomp and Circumstance.

 

Now Let’s Laugh

Now there’s an early bird in serious need of coffee!

Best speeding excuse ever! Now, this excuse makes sense.

When asked by a young patrol officer “Do You know you were speeding?”

This 83-year-old woman gave the young officer an ear to ear smile and stated:

“Yes , but … I had to get there before I forgot where I was going.”

The officer put his ticket book away and bid her good day.

Makes perfectly good sense to me. K-Squared uses that on all the time!

 

Mmmm…Bacon! Who cares what’s in the cup when you have a cup made of bacon!  Actually I’m pretty sure its pea soup.

This is the true story of a Garage Owner in New Mexico who gave his dog a haircut.

He was sick and tired of thugs breaking into his garage shop to steal tools, etc. So he came up with this idea to give his Woofter a haircut. He put the word out that he had a new
Mexican Lion that would attack anyone that tried to break in or climb his fence. Would-be thieves saw the “Lion” from a distance and fled the scene.

The dog’s probably trying to figure out why his head’s so hot and his butt’s so cold.

Thanks to Lynn for this one.

Whether or not you are a country music fan, these are truly the words of a deep thinker, and a highly intelligent person. So simple, yet so profound! Read the words of wisdom from that famous philosopher Willie Nelson, iconic country and western singer, on his 75th birthday below his esteemed portrait. Only a man with such wisdom and maturity could be so concise and succinct in phrasing his feelings at this turning point in his life.

“I have outlived my pecker.”

The Penis Poem–by Willie Nelson

My nookie days are over,
My pilot light is out.
What used to be my sex appeal,
Is now my water spout.

Time was when, on its own accord,
From my trousers it would spring.
But now I’ve got a full time job,
To find the f***in’ thing.

It used to be embarrassing,
The way it would behave.
For every single morning,
It would stand and watch me shave.

Now as old age approaches,
It sure gives me the blues.
To see it hang its little head,
And watch me tie my shoes!!

A statuesque blonde walked into a dinner party on the arm of a bald, elderly, scowling tycoon.
A society lady approached the young lovely to admire the huge shimmering gemstone hanging around her neck. “I must tell you,” the matron exclaimed, “that you are wearing the most incredible piece of jewelry I have ever seen.”
“That,” the blonde responded, “is the one-and-only Blanton diamond.”
“I’m surprised I’ve never heard of it,” the woman marveled. “I study famous gems as a hobby.”
“Well,” the chippy revealed, “the Blanton diamond has an ancient, unspeakably evil curse attached to it.”
“Really?” the woman queried. “What could that be?”
The blonde grimaced and gestured toward the tycoon. “Mr. Blanton, over there.”

A cowboy appeared before St. Peter at the Pearly Gates.

‘Have you ever done anything of particular merit?’ St. Peter asked.

‘Well, I can think of one thing,’ the cowboy offered.

‘On a trip to the Black Hills out in South Dakota , I came upon a gang of bikers, who were threatening a young woman.

I directed them to leave her alone, but they wouldn’t listen.

So, I approached the largest and most heavily tattooed biker and smacked him in his face

Kicked his bike over, ripped out his nose ring, and threw it on the ground.

I yelled, ‘Now, back off!! Or I’ll kick the sh*t out of all of you!’

St. Peter was impressed, ‘When did this happen?’

‘Just a couple of minutes ago…’

In 1972, Joe Miller was on holiday in Kenya after graduating from Tulsa Junior College . On a hike through the bush, he came across a young bull elephant standing with one leg raised in the air. The elephant seemed distressed, so Joe approached it very carefully. He got down on one knee, inspected the elephants foot, and found a large piece of wood deeply embedded in it. As carefully and as gently as he could, Joe worked the wood out with his knife, after which the elephant gingerly put down its foot.
The elephant turned to Joe, and with a rather curious look on its face, stared at him for several tense moments. Joe stood frozen, thinking of nothing else but being trampled.

Eventually the elephant trumpeted loudly, turned, and walked away. Joe never forgot that elephant or the events of that day.
Thirty years later, Joe was walking through the Tulsa Zoo with his family. As they approached the elephant enclosure, one of the creatures turned and walked over to near where Joe and his family were standing. The large bull elephant stared at Joe, lifted its front foot off the ground, then put it down. The elephant did that several times then trumpeted loudly, all the while staring at the man.
Remembering the encounter in 1972, Joe could not help wondering if this was the same elephant… Joe summoned up his courage, climbed over the railing, and made his way into the enclosure. He walked right up to the elephant and stared back in wonder. The elephant trumpeted again, wrapped its trunk around one of Joe’s legs and slammed him against the railing killing him instantly.

Probably wasn’t the same elephant.

This is for everyone who sends me those heart-warming bullshit stories.

Google reveals Gmail hacking, says likely from China

By Sui-Lee Wee and Alexei Oreskovic http://www.reuters.com BEIJING/SAN FRANCISCO | Thu Jun 2, 2011 8:08am EDT

http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/06/02/us-google-hacking-idUSTRE7506U320110602?feedType=RSS&feedName=topNews&utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+reuters%2FtopNews+(News+%2F+US+%2F+Top+News)&utm_content=Google+Feedfetcher

(Reuters) – Suspected Chinese hackers tried to steal the passwords of hundreds of Google email account holders, including those of senior U.S. government officials, Chinese activists and journalists, the Internet company said.

The claim by the world’s largest Web search engine sparked an angry response from Beijing, which said blaming China was “unacceptable,” pointing to further tensions in an already strained relationship with Google.

The perpetrators appeared to originate from Jinan, the capital of China’s eastern Shandong province, Google said. Jinan is home to one of six technical reconnaissance bureaus belonging to the People’s Liberation Army and a technical college U.S. investigators last year linked to a previous attack on Google.

Washington said it was investigating Google’s claims while the FBI said it was working with Google following the attacks — the latest computer-based invasions directed at multinational companies that have raised global alarm about Internet security.

Google phishing: Chinese Gmail attack raises cyberwar tensions

Charles Arthur, technology editor guardian.co.uk, Wednesday 1 June 2011 23.47 BST

Senior US and South Korean government officials plus Chinese activists have login details stolen

http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2011/jun/01/google-hacking-chinese-attack-gmail

Tensions between the US, UK and China over the issue of cyber-attacks were set to escalate after it emerged that Chinese hackers have stolen the login details of hundreds of senior US and South Korean government officials as well as Chinese political activists.

Google said it had discovered and alerted hundreds of people who had been taken in by a carefully targeted “phishing” scam originating from Jinan, the capital of Shandong province. Hackers aimed to get complete control of users’ email accounts on the Gmail system.

While there is no direct evidence that the hackers were in the pay of the Chinese government, the sophistication of the attacks and their highly targeted nature eliminates direct financial gain as a motive. Google did not rule out the possibility of the attack being state-sponsored.

The action could seriously heighten tensions over the issue of cyberwar. The US government moved this week to classify cyber-attacks as “acts of war“, while the defence minister Nick Harvey said on Monday that “action in cyberspace will form part of the future battlefield“.

At an international cybersecurity conference being held in London this week, delegates warned that new cyber-attacks were being developed so quickly that there should be a nonproliferation treaty over their creation and use.

Michael Rake of BT Group warned world powers were being drawn into a hi-tech arms race, with many already able to fight a war without firing a single shot.

“I don’t think personally it’s an exaggeration to say you can bring a state to its knees without any military action whatsoever,” Rake said. He said it was “critical to try to move toward some sort of cyber technology non-proliferation treaty.”

The latest series of attacks appears to have been going on since February, according to a report referenced by Google. It said people using Google and Yahoo accounts were being targeted in a “spear phishing” campaign, in which emails crafted to be relevant only to the recipients are sent out with malware or fake links.

Ok admittedly a wee lengthy set up for my comments but I do have several on this issue.

FIRST OF ALL PAY ATTENTION ALL YOU WHINEY DEMOCRATS AND LIBERALS I’M ABOUT TO (God help me please) SAY SOMETHING POSITIVE ABOUT OBAMA.

Obama actually gets the importance of Cyber-security and the threat that these continued Chinese targeted cyber attacks represent. Not only that, he got it the first time around.

Presidential Proclamation–National Cybersecurity Awareness Month October 01, 2010

America’s growing dependence on information technology has
given rise to the need for greater protection of digital networks and infrastructures. To highlight the need for increased cybersecurity, and the work of the Departments of Defense and Homeland Security, and private companies, nonprofits and academia, President Barack Obama
proclaimed October as National Cybersecurity Awareness Month.

 

The Guardian would have us believe:

The action could seriously heighten tensions over the issue of cyberwar.

In fact the US has considered itself as under war like cyber attacks for quite some time, the vast majority for them penetration attempts of high security installations (i.e. Los Alamos Nuclear Lab & NASA ), some emanating from Russia but the preponderance of the attacks are being directed from China.

 

On 23 June 2009, the Secretary of Defense directed the Commander of U.S. Strategic Command (USSTRATCOM) to establish USCYBERCOM. In May 2010, General Keith Alexander outlined his views in a report for the United States House Committee on Armed Services subcommittee:

 

“My own view is that the only way to counteract both criminal and espionage activity online is to be proactive. If the U.S. is taking a formal approach to this, then that has to be a good thing. The Chinese are viewed as the source of a great many attacks on western infrastructure and just recently, the U.S. electrical grid. If that is determined to be an organized attack, I would want to go and take down the source of those attacks. The only problem is that the Internet, by its very nature, has no borders and if the U.S. takes on the mantle of the world’s police; that might not go down so well.”

The US government moved this week to classify cyber-attacks as “acts of war”, the new strategy would adapt the existing right of self-defense contained in the UN charter by bringing cyberweapons under the definition of armed attacks.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2011/may/31/washington-moves-to-classify-cyber-attacks

Great on paper but wholly impractical at the level of cyber espionage being perpetrated. I agree its a necessary legal move, and should it get to the point that the Pentagon has outlined;

Pentagon officials disclosed the decision to the Wall Street Journal, saying it was designed to send a warning to any hacker threatening US security by attacking its nuclear reactors, pipelines or public networks such as mass transport systems. “If you shut down our power grid, maybe we will put a missile down one of your smokestacks,” an official said.

well then hell yeah, if you ain’t leaving nothin’ but scorch marks where the facility the instigated the attack used to exist then you better send a second much large missile. However how many of you can see China sitting idly by while we Tomahawk one of their Government sponsored Hacker Heavens into bits and bytes over some e-mail passwords on a non secure, non governmental public e-mail system? Nobody? My point exactly. To be taken seriously by the Chinese on this subject we need other more practical and proportional response options.

My first suggestion; hit them where it hurts them the worst, their wallets. Fine them say $100 Million for every attempted attack on any US facility we can trace back to an IP in the region of one of their Government sponsored hacking facilities. I can already hear some of you roaring with laughter saying Lethal you idiot we can get them to admit to the attacks much less take responsibility for them, how can you honestly expect that they are going to accept and pay our fine. In truth I don’t. What I DO expect to do is deduct that money for our debt to China. In the parlance of the Construction Industry this is known as a “back charge” and is generally invoked when a subcontractor or material supplier screws up and causes the Contractor extra work or inconvenience. In this case I prefer to think of it as “instant war reparations” In the case of a facility’s firewall breach attempt this fine could easily total $1 Billion from a single IP address in a single attack attempt on a single day.

My second suggestion: a UN sponsored and enforced technology embargo. To be honest I’m not sure this would have much of an effect given half the guts to US computers are made in China. Maybe an Internet Embargo severely restricting their internet access is more appropriate. Determining if such a thing is practical or would have any effect if quite honestly beyond my expertise level and capabilities. Hopefully it will occur to someone in Cyber Command.

My third suggestion has to do with all the hackers, caught and incarcerated, reformed or still in the wild here in the USA. Their skills, expertise, & experience should be utilized to give China a serious dose of Quid Pro Quo gather all the ones incarcerated, all the ones on probation or accelerated rehab and all the reformed  (a.k.a. ‘White Hat Hackers’) together in a federal facility, give them a briefing and as et of target IPs, an unlimited supply of nicotine, Red Bull and high sugar munchies and turn them loose at China. The second Beijing’s cyber Jockeys at China’s Lanxiang Vocational School, which trains computer scientists for China’s military and where last year’s and this year’s hack attack on Google seemed to originate, are overwhelmed and the Chinese Communist Party’s Internet Infrastructure starts resembling virtual Swiss Cheese I assure you they will start indignantly screaming bloody murder and the “mysterious” cyber attacks which we insult them by having proof of originating with them will miraculously cease in nanoseconds.

The best way to deal with a pick pocket is to break his fingers and hands so he can no longer deftly practice his trade. In the Middle East thieves had hands removed and rapist…well they came up a little short lets just say. This is no different  and its NOT going to stop until we take the gloves off and make these Commie bastards invent a state religion JUST so they can pray we never decide to type the word China into out computers ever again.

Finally just an observation on the times we live in, how great is it that to get any sort of hard information on an attack by a foreign government on a US business and US government employees  computers and e-mails I am forced to turn not to the US media but to the U.K. media!

Yup you’re reading right folks ‘tis the Lethal Leprechaun with you this morning nary a Dragon the likes o’ ta be had anyplace.

‘But Lethal’ you cry, ‘WHY is this?’

Let me just say that today proves a couple clichéd adages to me:

• No good deed goes unpunished.
• There is no rest for the wicked (apparently unless they are a government employed Dragon)
• The reward for a job well done is more work.

Allow me to explain.

1. I offered to take on the bulk of the work for the Memorial Day issue since Impish had been sleeping and feeling poorly >>> good deed
2. I mentioned being all blogged out and creatively whipped after the oversized Memorial day issue in Wednesday’s post and looking forward to a day off, yet here I am>>>no rest for the wicked
3. Impish (among other excuses and tactics) tried to feed me the really cheap domestic bologna about how I did such a fantastic job on the Memorial Day issue that I should have absolutely no problem covering for him today. >>> reward for a job well done is more work

Mixed in with all the above in a phone call which caught me trying to sleep off the beginning of a nasty migraine was a run-on bunch of excuses about excessive paper work & red tape,12 hour days in preparation for another of his bases inspections by (my words folks)some twit that would not know what the hell they were inspecting if someone tattooed a check list on their asses then he topped it all off by some BS about needing time for some Dragon fantasy called a “family”.

Hence my unsmiling face and non sunny disposition. Truly he doesn’t deserve as dedicated and supportive a partner such as myself, just ask me and I’ll tell you so.

Now Let’s Try To Laugh

Gratuitous Whiney Dragon Picture

After I bought my mother a compact-disc player and some CDs, she was excited to discover she no longer needed to rewind or fast-forward tapes or move the needle on her record player.
Knowing she was not that technically astute, I called her a few days later to see how she was managing. “Fine. I listened to Shania Twain this morning,” she said.
“The whole CD?” I asked.
“No,” she replied, “just one side.”

Why Email is Like a Penis

Some folks have it, some don’t. Those who have it would
be devastated if it were ever cut off.
They think that those who don’t have it are somehow
inferior. They think it gives them power.
They are wrong. Those who don’t have it may agree that
it’s a nifty toy, but think it’s not worth the fuss
that those who do have it make about it. Still, many
of those who don’t have it would like to try it.
It can be up or down. It’s more fun when it’s up, but
it makes it hard to get any real work done.
In the long distant past, its only purpose was to transmit
information considered vital to the survival of the
species. Some people still think that’s the only thing
it should be used for, but most folks today use it for
fun most of the time.
Once you’ve started playing with it, it’s hard to stop.
Some people would just play with it all day if they
didn’t have work to do.
It provides a way to interact with other people. Some
people take this interaction very seriously, others
treat it as a lark. Sometimes it’s hard to tell what
kind of person you’re dealing with until it’s too late.
If you don’t apply the appropriate protective measures,
it can spread viruses.
It has no brain of its own. Instead it uses yours. If
you use it too much, you’ll find it becomes more and
more difficult to think coherently.
We attach an importance to it that is far greater than
its actual size and influence warrant.
If you’re not careful what you do with it, it can get
you in big trouble.
It has its own agenda. Somehow, no matter how good your
intentions, it will warp your behavior.
Later you may ask yourself, “Why on earth did I do that?”
It has no conscience and no memory. Left to its own
devices, it will just do the same damn dumb things it
did before.

Remember this is Impish’s issue even though I got stuck doing it so if you don’t like the jokes blame and complain to him please!

 

Heard today on the news that a woman ran out of the church in the middle of her own wedding. No one heard her say anything. She just threw off her headdress and ran out the side door with a very determined expression on her face. Members of the wedding party spent the rest of the afternoon and much of the evening searching for the woman, who was still believed to be wearing her bride’s dress, but without avail.

Two Italians, Luigi and Antonio, met on the street. “Hey, Antonio,” said Luigi. “Where you been for the past two weeks? No one seen you around.”
“Donna talka to me, Luigi,” replied Antonio. “I been inna da jail.”
“Jail!” exclaimed Luigi. “What for you been in jail?”
“Wella, Luigi,” Antonio said, “I was lying onna da beach, and the cops come, arresta me and throw me inna jail.”
“But dey donna throw you in jail just for lying onna da beach!” Luigi countered.
“Yeah, but dissa beach was ascreamin’ and akickin’ and ayellin’.”

This come to us from our Israeli connection Lynn:

Scientists must have gone to a lot of trouble to work this one out.

How to stop wives from smoking.

 

Now as I wrote back and explained to Lynn:

Those are not to get your wife to stop sucking on cigarettes.  Those are to get her accustom to sucking on something entirely different.  The most difficult part of the swap out is convincing her NOT to use her lighter!

I have a last thought today before the last word: Never trust a Dragon and tell him you’re drugged and sleeping when he wakes you up. He cannot help but tell you sob stories and take advantage of you, it’s his  saurian nature.

Now on to the Last Word.

This was sent to me by that friend who so obviously fits in well here but refuses to subscribe. I received it this morning for which I am thankful because has I gotten this in time for Memorial Day it would have either made an already lengthy issue that much longer or caused me to agonize for choice of Last Words.

A Soldier Died Today

He was getting old and paunchy and his hair was falling fast,
And he sat around the Legion, telling stories of the past.
Of a war that he had fought in and the deeds that he had done,
In his exploits with his buddies; they were heroes, every one.

And tho’ sometimes, to his neighbors, his tales became a joke,
All his Legion buddies listened, for they knew whereof he spoke.
But we’ll hear his tales no longer for old Bill has passed away,
And the world’s a little poorer, for a soldier died today.

He will not be mourned by many, just his children and his wife,
For he lived an ordinary and quite uneventful life.
Held a job and raised a family, quietly going his own way,
And the world won’t note his passing, though a soldier died today.

When politicians leave this earth, their bodies lie in state,
While thousands note their passing and proclaim that they were great.
Papers tell their whole life stories, from the time that they were young,
But the passing of a soldier goes unnoticed and unsung.

Is the greatest contribution to the welfare of our land
A guy who breaks his promises and cons his fellow man?
Or the ordinary fellow who, in times of war and strife,
Goes off to serve his Country and offers up his life?

A politician’s stipend and the style in which he lives
Are sometimes disproportionate to the service that he gives.
While the ordinary soldier, who offered up his all,
Is paid off with a medal and perhaps, a pension small.

It’s so easy to forget them for it was so long ago,
That the old Bills of our Country went to battle, but we know
It was not the politicians, with their compromise and ploys,
Who won for us the freedom that our Country now enjoys.

Should you find yourself in danger, with your enemies at hand,
Would you want a politician with his ever-shifting stand?
Or would you prefer a soldier, who has sworn to defend
His home, his kin and Country and would fight until the end?

He was just a common soldier and his ranks are growing thin,
But his presence should remind us we may need his like again.
For when countries are in conflict, then we find the soldier’s part
Is to clean up all the troubles that the politicians start.

If we cannot do him honor while he’s here to hear the praise,
Then at least let’s give him homage at the ending of his days.
Perhaps just a simple headline in a paper that would say,
Our Country is in mourning, for a soldier died today.

Wow fast week, Wednesday already! Week just got started and its half over. I could get used to this and it just goes to show my ten hour per day four day work week isn’t such a bad concept.

I pretty much talked myself out making Monday’s Memorial day issue so we’re going to keep this short. Thank You to all those who posted or privately sent appreciative comments and to the two former Dragon groupies who offered to bear my children…I’ll see you next weekend in ‘Vegas!

Well that’s about it except to say that someone expressed the opinion that we had been bashing Obama pretty severely lately to which I have to plead guilty. I’d also hasten to point out that if once they were down Obamaites STAYED down, we could have gotten away with half the bashing I did lately. ANYWAY we’re peeing on the parade new Looney Tunes Group today…Global Warming Gore Goons so look for that in today’s Last Word.

NOW LET’S MAKE WITH THE LAUGHTER!

A major electronics company, Siemens, is introducing a
tiny necklace cell phone for women.
Have you seen this thing? It’s on a chain – you wear
it around your neck – it hangs down right here to a
woman’s cleavage.
The only problem women have with it; when it rings,
every guy in the room yells, “I’ll get it.”

 

For several years, ImpishDragon had been having an affair with an Italian woman.

One night, she confided to him that she pregnant.

Not wanting to ruin his reputation or his marriage, Impish offered to pay her a large sum of money if she’d go back to Italy and secretly have the child.  Also, if she stayed in Italy to raise the child, he would provide child support until the child turned 18.

She agreed, but asked how he would know when the baby was born.

To keep it discrete, he told her to simply mail him a postcard, and write ‘Spaghetti’ on the back when the child was born.  He would then arrange for the Child Support Payments to begin.

One day, about 8 months later, he came home to a confused Mrs. Dragon. “Honey,”she said, ‘You received a very strange postcard today. ”Oh, just give it to me and I’ll explain it later,’ he said. The wife obeyed and watched as Impish read the card, turn white, and faint.

On the card was written:

Spaghetti, Spaghetti, Spaghetti,Spaghetti,Spaghetti..

Three with meatballs, two without.

Send extra sauce.

===

Impish Dragon was asleep in his chair one afternoon when he was awoken by the sound of the doorbell, he shuffled to the door; and when he opened it, he saw a beautiful young woman standing there.

“Oh, dear!” she said. “I’m at the wrong house.”

“Sweetheart, you’re at the right house,” the old Dragon assured her, “but you’re thirty years too late!”
====

Impish and Mrs. Dragon were having a terrible disagreement over a patio
they wanted for their back yard. Mrs. Dragon had rather grand ideas,
while Impish wanted costs kept to a minimum. Mrs. Dragon of course won out,
and the construction bill climbed higher and higher.

I dropped by one day when the patio was nearing completion, and
was surprised to find Impish smiling from ear to ear as the
workmen smoothed over the surface. I remarked how nice it was to
see a grin replace the frown he had been wearing lately.

“You see where they’re smoothing that cement?” he replied.
“I just threw all my wife’s credit cards in there.”

It’s my understanding that he’s buried under the water feature, a last minute addition to the patio.

===

Mrs. Dragon recently lost her husband Impish. She had him cremated and brought his ashes home. (The fire lasted five days and took the efforts of firefighters from 5 towns to finally bring under control and contain)
Picking up the four urns that he was in, she poured him out on the patio table.
Then, while tracing her fingers in the ashes, she started talking to him.
“You know that dishwasher you promised me? I bought it with the insurance money!”
She paused for a minute tracing her fingers in the ashes then said,
“Remember that car you promised me? Well, I also bought it with the insurance money!”
Again, she paused for a few minutes and while tracing her fingers in the ashes she said,
“Remember that diamond ring you promised me? Bought it too, with the insurance money!”
Finally, still tracing her fingers in the ashes, She said, “Remember that blow job I promised you?”(She began pulling the starting cord of an industrial leaf blower)
“Here it comes.”

 

A fellow in a bar notices a woman, always alone, come in on a fairly regular basis. After the second week, he made his move.

“No thank you.” she said politely. “This may sound rather odd in this day and age, but I’m keeping myself pure until I meet the man I love.”

“That must be rather difficult.” the man replied.

“Oh, I don’t mind too much.” she said. “But, it has my husband pretty upset.”

 

 

“George is so forgetful,” the sales manager complained to his secretary. “It’s a wonder he can sell anything. I asked him to pick me up some sandwiches on his way back from lunch, and I’m not sure he’ll even remember to come back.”
Just then, the door flew open and in bounced George. “You’ll never guess what happened!” he shouted. “While I was at lunch, I met old man Brown, who hasn’t bought anything from us for five years. Well, we got to talking and he gave me this half-million dollar order!”
“See,” sighed the sales manager to his secretary, “I told you he’d forget the sandwiches.”

 

We get comments all the time from the Anally Retentive Nitpickers Guild usually regarding our spelling or grammar mistakes and our general overall lack of proof reading skills. Well listen up (or clean off your glasses or what ever the hell someone who needs to pay closer attention to a blog needs to do) because apparently the problem extends all the way up to the big boys as well!

Proofreading is a Dying Art these days!

Did I read that right?

Yes todays issue is a wee on the short side. I should be caught up and back up to speed with any luck on Friday.

Today’s Last Word comes courtesy of K-Squared. Now granted I have not had the time to do more than a cursory check on the facts in it but I did not see any glaring inconsistencies when I did. I would also point out that I a  still of the opinion that Recycling and reverting to some Greener Consumer practices is a good idea. What I’m NOT sold on is all this carbon footprint/global warming crap. The following is exactly why.

Okay, here’s the bombshell. The volcanic eruption in Iceland, since its first spewing of volcanic ash has, in just FOUR DAYS, NEGATED EVERY SINGLE EFFORT you have made in the past five years to control CO₂ emissions on our planet – all of you.

Of course you know about this evil carbon dioxide that we are trying to suppress – it’s that vital chemical compound that every plant requires to live and grow, and to synthesize into oxygen for us humans, and all animal life.

I know, it’s very disheartening to realize that all of the carbon emission savings you have accomplished while suffering the inconvenience and expense of: driving Prius hybrids, buying fabric grocery bags, sitting up till midnight to finish your kid’s “The Green Revolution” science project, throwing out all of your non-green cleaning supplies, using only two squares of toilet paper, putting a brick in your toilet tank reservoir, selling your SUV and speedboat, vacationing at home instead of abroad, nearly getting hit every day on your bicycle, replacing all of your 50 cents light bulbs with $10.00 light bulbs…well, all of those things you have done have all gone down the tubes in just four days.

The volcanic ash emitted into the Earth’s atmosphere in just four days – yes – FOUR DAYS ONLY by that volcano in Iceland, has totally erased every single effort you have made to reduce the evil beast, carbon. And there are around 200 active volcanoes on the planet spewing out this crud any one time – EVERY DAY.

I don’t really want to rain on your parade too much, but I should mention that when the volcano Mt Pinatubo erupted in the Philippines in 1991, it spewed out more greenhouse gases into the atmosphere than the entire human race had emitted in its entire YEARS on earth. Yes folks, Mt Pinatubo was active for over one year – think about it.

Of course I shouldn’t spoil this touchy-feely tree-hugging moment and mention the effect of solar and cosmic activity and the well-recognized 800-year global heating and cooling cycle, which keep happening, despite our completely insignificant efforts to affect climate change.

And I do wish I had a silver lining to this volcanic ash cloud but the fact of the matter is that the brush fire season across the western USA and Australia this year alone will negate your efforts to reduce carbon in our world for the next two to three years. And it happens every year.

Just remember that your government just tried to impose a whopping new carbon tax on you on the basis of the bogus “human-caused” climate change scenario.

Hey, isn’t it interesting how they don’t mention “Global Warming” any more, but just “Climate Change” – you know why? It’s because the planet has COOLED by 0.7 degrees in the past century and these global warming bull artists got caught with their pants down.

And just keep in mind that you might yet have an Emissions Trading Scheme – that whopping new tax – imposed on you, that will achieve absolutely nothing except make you poorer. It won’t stop any volcanoes from erupting, that’s for sure.

But hey, relax, give the world a hug and have a nice day!

PS: I wonder if Iceland is buying carbon offsets?

http://www.abc.net.au/mediawatch/transcripts/s2889174.htm

http://www.factcheck.org/2010/06/eruption-corruption/

Apparently the jury is still out as to if all this is true or to what extent. My point is that our efforts are a drop in the bucket next to Mother nature and that due to these recent eruptions the global mean temp has actually cooled off 1.3 degrees over the last 2 years.

Man made global warming my tattooed bloody arse!

 

Good Morning Campers!  Welcome to Tuesday.  I know that is a bit of a problem for a lot of you who are still recovering from your Memorial Day Celebrations, but do your best to pay attention here.  Grab your coffee, sit up straight, put your feet flat on the ground and you’ll feel much better.  Those of you who can’t yet find the ground, do the best you can.  Get your buddies to give you a hand.

What a fantabulous Memorial Day issue that Lethal put together for us yesterday.  I know he said it was a collaboration betwixt the two of us, but in honesty, he did most of the work, I had just wee bit here and there.   My hats off to you my friend…. if I wore a hat…

okay, let’s start again….

Everyone raise their coffee in a toast to Lethal Leprechaun for the fine Memorial Day issue he was responsible for. 

Yes, those on the opposite side of the globe may raise something other than coffee.

Yes, England and surrounding countries, morning tea is an acceptable substitute for coffee…

Yes, Russia, Poland, and the rest, vodka is indeed a wonderful substitute …..

My Great-Aunt-Betty’s-Knees!  Raise whatever you want people!

Sheesh!  Yeah, it’s time to….. 

Okay, so I saw this and I thought, hey…. way cool.  What a great way of helping out those hurt in a disaster.  They get their own little private living space.

Much different than the traditional shelter in the U.S. and elsewhere

A Woman was out golfing one day when she hit the ball into the woods.

She went into the woods to look for it and found a frog in a trap. The frog said, “If you release me, I will give you three wishes.  There is only one catch…whatever you wish for, your husband will get times ten!”

The woman said, “That’s okay.”

For her first wish, she wanted to be the most beautiful woman in the world.

The frog warned her, “You do realize that this wish will also make your husband the most handsome man in the world, an Adonis whom women will flock to”.

The woman replied, “That’s okay, because I will be the most beautiful woman and he will have eyes only for me.”

So, KAZAM-she’s the most beautiful woman in the world!

For her second wish, she wanted to be the richest woman in the world.

The frog said, “That will make your husband the richest man in the world. And he will be ten times richer than you.”

The woman said, “That’s okay, because what’s mine is his and what’s his is mine.”

So, KAZAM-she’s the richest woman in the world!

The frog then inquired about her third wish, and she answered, “I’d like a mild heart attack.”

Moral of the story: Women are clever. Don’t mess with them.

Attention female readers : This is the end of the joke for you. Stop here and continue feeling good.

Male readers: Please scroll down.

The man had a heart attack ten times milder than his wife …

Moral of the story: Women are not really smart, they just think they are.

Let them continue to think that way and just enjoy the show

PS: If you are a woman and are still reading this; it only goes to show that women never listen!!!

Editors Note: The imprecation used earlier (“My Great-Aunt-Betty’s-Knees”) is an expletive that has been used in the dragon world for centuries.  For those word-smiths out there, the word has it’s origins in an unexpected place: in my real Great Aunt Betty.  She has the ugliest, gnarliest, most twisted and deformed looking knees in the  27 realms.  She told us once that she had been cursed by a witch. 

The story goes, if you believe in such things, that she was in her human form and was seducing a man who turned out to be the mate of a witch. She (the witch) walked in on them in the midst of the final-crescendo, as it were, and found my Great Aunt Betty with her legs locked around her man.  So as to never be able to do such a thing again, the witch cursed her which turned her legs around backwards in her human form…her knees were on the back of her legs instead of the front.  She was unable to defend herself at the time because her natural immunity to magic was degraded because she was in human rather than dragon form and also because she was just a tad distracted what with attempting to achieve the crescendo in harmony with the man.  When she turns back into her dragon form, it gives her these incredibly ugly knees! 

What happened to the witch?  Well, Aunt Betty says that she ate her, and then finished off with the man, even with the bad knees, but I’m pretty sure that Aunt Betty was so sickened by what happened that the witch is still living quietly in her little hut, with her husband sitting nicely on the fireplace mantel in the form of a small plaster gnome with no penis.

But, that’s just the story that Betty tells…

Here’s a story that will bring a tear to your eye

Camp Pendleton Marine Reunited With Afghan Puppy

http://camppendleton.patch.com/articles/camp-pendleton-marine-reunited-with-afghan-puppy#video-6134683

A community of more than 8,000 animal lovers chip in to bring a puppy called Nolay from Afghanistan to Camp Pendleton.

She comforted him and his Marines while they served in Afghanistan, and now the Afghan dog Nolay is in her “furever” home with her permanent owner, Master Sgt. Joshua Roth of the 1st Maintenance Battalion, Engineer Maintenance Company.

Nolay arrived late Sunday night at San Diego International Airport.

“She was a puppy when we got her,” said Roth. “Came to us while we were out at Forward Operating Base up in the Sangin District [of Afghanistan]. The FOB’s name was Nolay. A couple Marines that were out on post one night, around the time that I got there in January, saw a group of kids during the day, out getting all rambunctious and screaming and yelling and they [the Marines] heard the dog whimpering noises. One of the Marines went down where the kids were and and saw that they were roughhousing, abusing, whatever, treating these dogs really rough.”

He looked back at his fellow Marine who he was on post with, gave him a nod and picked up the two dogs and took them to their base, Roth said.

“Before I left FOB Nolay and went back to the main base, I got online and was just looking for any information as I could to try and find some assistance,” said Roth. “I found some names and email addresses and I sent off some emails, and I got some replies that linked me to some folks in Kabul that run a shelter there. The place was called Tigger House.”

Through Tigger House, Roth was able to connect to the Puppy Rescue Mission’s Facebook Page. Their mission is to help service members from all branches reunite with their adopted Afghanistan animals.

“They find a companion like Nolay [in forward operating bases], and help them get them back … and give to them a lot of what they gave to us,” he said.

Donors helped raise some $3,700 for Nolay’s trip through the Web payment service Paypal.

Many of the donors on Puppy Rescue Mission’s page are former military and have sons and daughters who are active duty military personnel, said Roth. They understand the value of that kind of relationship between a person and an animal.

 

This is really something special.  A LOT of effort has gone into this sites creation.  Thanks to Stephanie for bringing this to our attention

Vietnam Wall

First click on a state.  When it opens, scroll down to the city and the names will appear.  Then click on their names.  It should show you a picture of the person, or at least their bio and medals.

 

This really is an amazing web site.  Someone spent a lot of time and effort to create it.

 

I hope that everyone who receives this appreciates what those who served in  Vietnam sacrificed for our country.

 

The link below is a virtual wall of all those lost during the Vietnam war with the names, bio’s and other information on our lost heroes.  Those who remember that time frame, or perhaps lost friends or family can look them up on this site.  Pass the link on to others, as many knew wonderful people whose names are listed.

WARNING: Okay, so look….by law, we are required to offer you this warning: if you are offended by the naked female form, take issue with the discussion and joking of sex in general, or are just prudish in nature, I have two points to discuss.  #1- please feel free to stop reading the e-zine at this point, else ‘tis possible you will be offended here shortly and #2- What the hell are you doing reading Dragon Laffs anyway? 

Really?  Prudish?  One of our campers?  Never!

I was in the pub the other day telling that joke, “What do you do if you see an epileptic have a fit in the bath?  Throw in your washing.”

We were all having a good laugh about this when someone tapped me on the shoulder and said, “Excuse me mate, but I don’t find that funny.  My brother was epileptic and he died in the bath during a fit.”

I said, “I’m ever so sorry mate, did he drown?”

“No,” he said, “he choked on a sock.”

The newest summer rage…it’s called a trikini. 
I only have one question…why bother?

A man was sunbathing naked at the beach.
For the sake of civility, and to keep it from getting

sunburned, he had a hat over his private parts.
A woman walks past and says, snickering,
“If you were a gentleman you’d lift your hat.”
He raised an eyebrow and replied,
“If you were better looking it would lift itself.”

This one is just plain bloody awful!  My deepest apologies….if you want to throw rocks, throw them at Stephanie.

Once upon a slime, a girl ghoul fell in love with a mummy. Alas, the girl ghoul did not know much about the proper care of mummies, and in a couple of weeks the mummy began to unravel and disintegrated. This just goes to prove that a ghoul and her mummy are soon parted.

Then the ghoul fell in love with a little devil, who turned out to be a loving and generous sweetheart. The little devil showered the girl ghoul with bright flowers, high-fashion clothes, and expensive jewelry. This just goes to prove that demons are a ghoul’s best fiend.

The hardest thing in life to learn

is which bridges to cross

and which to burn.

This guy is great!  Profound thinker and great orator.  Thanks to the Maytag Man in Israel for sending this in:

Incredibly profound view of the Islamic way of thinking, with particular emphasis on women.

If you haven’t seen this guy before, you’ve missed an extraordinarily erudite speaker who was a comedian before he found his niche. He is serious when he is funny and he is funny when he is serious. And, boy, does he make sense. This is his latest, and I think the first of 2011.

Here’s a cool site, sent in by Lynn, Games… on the History Channel
http://www.history.com/games 

Entering a classroom at MCAS Yuma, a female Marine Captain encountered a clearly apathetic audience.

She was selected to provide a full hour’s instruction on Iraqi electronic warfare capabilities to 150 Marine aviators who showed by their body language deep skepticism about her ability to teach war fighting skills to an all-male class.

She began by noting that her voice had just been tested to see if it was suitable for some new cockpit recorder messages for Marine aircraft. She said that unfortunately she had not been selected to be the new “Bitching Betty.” However, she said it was only fair to warn the audience the reason given for her non-selection was that an analysis of her voice pattern revealed that her particular voice had a tendency to lull to sleep any male homosexual within earshot.

The assembled officers shot upright in their chairs. 150 pairs of eyes were wide open and locked on her and stayed that way for the rest of the period.

Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell………and for damn sure Don’t Sleep.

Okay, this is a GREAT story.  Watch this one in Russian first, where the poor lady newscaster can’t stop laughing for thinking about the mental picture the story presents…
http://www.youtube.com/embed/LE8JaXH0qiw
And then watch the one that follows, which is basically the same story, covered by American news…without most of the laughter

Here’s a neat little story from the Old Country Boy’s brother (now isn’t that a heck of a moniker).  I’m not sure if it’s true….as a matter of fact, it probably isn’t, but… it’s a GREAT story and it probably is true somewhere.  At least it wouldn’t surprise me if it was.

On my way home, I stopped at Taco Bell for a quick bite to eat. In my wallet is a $50bill and a $2 bill. That is all of the cash I have on my person. I figure that with a $2 bill, I can get something to eat and not have to worry about people getting upset with me.

DAN: “Hi, I’d like one seven layer burrito please, to go.”
TACO BELL EMPLOYEE (T B E): “Is that it?”
ME: “Yep.”
T B E: “That’ll be $1.04, eat here?”
ME: “No, it’s to go.”

At his point I open my billfold and hand him the $2 bill. He looks at it kind of funny and IT: “Uh, hang on a sec, I’ll be right back.”

He goes to talk to his manager, who is still within earshot. The following conversation occurs between the two of them. IT: “Hey, you ever see a $2 bill?”
MGR: “No. A what?”
T B E: “A $2 bill. This guy just gave it to me.”
MGR: “Ask for something else, THERE’S NO SUCH THING AS A $2 BILL.”
T B E: “Yeah, thought so.”

He comes back to me and says IT: “We don’t take these. Do you have anything else?”
ME: “Just this fifty. You don’t take $2 bills? Why?”
T B E: “I don’t know.”
ME: “See here where it says legal tender?”
T B E: “Yeah.”
ME: “So, shouldn’t you take it?”
T B E: “Well, hang on a sec.”

He goes back to his manager who is watching me like I’m going to shoplift.
T B E: “He says I have to take it.”
MGR: “Doesn’t he have anything else?”
T B E: “Yeah, a fifty. I’ll get it and you can open the safe and get change.”
MGR: “I’M NOT OPENING THE SAFE WITH HIM IN HERE.”
T B E: “What should I do?”
MGR: “Tell him to come back later when he has REAL money.”
T B E: “I can’t tell him that, you tell him.”
MGR: “Just tell him.”
T B E: “No way, this is weird, I’m going in back.”

The manager approaches me and says “Sorry, we don’t take big bills this time of night.” [it was 8pm and this particular Taco Bell is in a well lighted indoor mall with 100 other stores.]
ME: “Well, here’s a two.”
MGR: “We don’t take those either.”
ME: “Why the hell not?”
MGR: “I think you know why.”
ME: “No really, tell me, why?”
MGR: “Please leave before I call mall security.”
ME: “Excuse me?”
MGR: “Please leave before I call mall security.”
ME: “What the hell for?”
MGR: “Please, sir.”
ME: “Uh, go ahead, call them.”
MGR: “Would you please just leave?”
ME: “No.”
MGR: “Fine, have it your way then.”

At this point he BACKS away from me and calls mall security on the phone around the corner. I have two people STARING at me from the dining area, and I begin laughing out loud, just for effect. A few minutes later this 45 year oldish guy comes in and says [at the other end of counter, in a whisper] SG: “Yeah, Mike, what’s up?”
MGR: “This guy is trying to give me some [pause] funny money.”
SG: “Really? What?”
MGR: “Get this, a two dollar bill.”
SG: “Why would a guy fake a $2 bill?” [incredulous]
MGR: “I don’t know? He’s kinda weird. Says the only other thing he has is a fifty.”
SG: “So, the fifty’s fake?”
MGR: “NO, the $2 is.”
SG: “Why would he fake a $2 bill?”
MGR: “I don’t know. Can you talk to him, and get him out of here?”
SG: “Yeah…”

Security guard walks over to me and says SG: “Mike here tells me you have some fake bills you’re trying to use.”
ME: “Uh, no.”
SG: “Lemme see ’em.”
ME: “Why?”
SG: “Do you want me to get the cops in here?”

At this point I was ready to say, “SURE, PLEASE,” but I wanted to eat, so I said ME: “I’m just trying to buy a burrito and pay for it with this $2 bill.”

I put the bill up near his face, and he flinches like I was taking a swing at him. He takes the bill, turns it over a few times in his hands, and says SG: “Mike, what’s wrong with this bill?”
MGR: “It’s fake.”
SG: “It doesn’t look fake to me.”
MGR: “But it’s a $2 bill.”
SG: “Yeah?”
MGR: “Well, there’s no such thing, is there?”

The security guard and I both looked at him like he was an idiot, and it dawned on the guy that he had no clue.

My burrito was free and he threw in a small drink and those cinnamon things, too. Makes me want to get a whole stack of $2 bills just to see what happens when I try to buy stuff. If I got the right group of people, I could probably end up in jail. At least you get free food.

Largest Police Bust In History

 

What in heck did you think I was talking about,

You should know me by now!

Today’s Last Word comes in the form of a Public Service Announcement.  Jerry has asked us to try and identify someone.  He’s really bothered by it, enough so to send out several pictures.  Well, he explains it best.  Here’s his email:

Think waaaaay back on this one…

Guess who this is?

Do you know?

HAVE A LOOK !!

 

 

 

STILL NOT SURE ……?

 

 

HAVE ANOTHER LOOK…!

 

 

 

 

I don’t know either !!!

Send it to your friends….maybe they know who she is….

It’s got me Stumped!

 

Sorry Jerry, it’s got me stumped and I studied the pictures in great detail, as did Lethal and some of the other members of the staff. We’ll keep looking and I’m sure the other campers will, too!

Rate this:

I do not wish to take anything away from the fantastic posts that my great friend and co-owner of Dragon Laffs has sent to you today.  I hope I have waited a suitable time to say: Thank you my dear friend for representing us so well in your post today.  I appreciate your deep sacrifice for me and my family. I am proud to call you my friend, partner and brother.

Thank you to the veterans in our campground.  You have made us so proud to have you as readers, but most especially as friends.

For me, personally, there are far too many people to thank for their service to us.  From the men and women I have the pleasure of currently working with at Grissom ARB to those at the Indiana State Police, Miami County Sheriff’s Office, my family members who have served, and the men and women who I served with over my many years of active duty and since as a DoD civilian.

I do wish to thank my brother Ken and my buddies Wheats and Smitty.  I am SO PROUD to call you all friends.
