Those Darn Cops...

I don't see how the City of West Allis can be so special. I know in Milwaukee if you violate night parking the ticket is only 10 bucks. If i'm wrong tell me.

My mother comes over here at 4:00 am every morning so that I don't have to take my kids to work with me. Well this morning she got here at 4:05. I noticed that she parked on the wrong side of the street. Not really caring I went to work and came home and noticed that she had a ticket on her car. Yesterday was a holiday you would think that you would get a break, well not here. The time stamped on the ticket was 4:31 she had only been here for 26 minutes when it was written what if her plan was to leave my house at 4:32 thats almost a buck a minute that she was here. She is really ticked off and is going to fight a 20 parking ticket.

I think the whole thing is crap. And in milwaukee they give you an envelope to mail the ticket.

Those cheap bastards!

What's Your Sign?

A couple of moths ago I was discussing with a fello blogger to find something weird to report about for things that go on in Milwaukee and vicinity. Well I finally got it. Sunday upon returning from Wal-Mart I was stopped by a train. I was heading east on Beloit road, those of you from West Allis are probably familiar. That is when it came to me. I was looking around at whatever daydreaming about eating the cheeseburger I just purchased from Golden Gyros.

It was a sign that read something like prosthetic devices. On the sign was a picture/sketch of Lionardo DaVinci's Vetruvian Man and it was missing it's head. I chuckled at it for a second and commented that I wouldn't trust them with my prosthetics unless they put a head on that picture.

Anyway I am going to go out and about and try to take pictures of business signs to post weekly on my blog. I will have a picture of this sign in the future for all of you to enjoy. Those of you who would like to send something can contact me at the e-mail address that is in my profile. They don't have to be from Milwaukee or Wisconsin for that matter but they do have to be funny. I thought this one was especially funny because of the recent relese of the movie DaVinci Code.

I Don't Care If You Hate Me For This.

Yesterday I fell asleep at like 3 in the afternoon and slept until nine. The kids were by there dad so yeah I had the time and I already finished my chores for the day. I sometimes don't know what to do when they are not here. I ended up watching Men In Black for like the umteenth time.

After that I was looking throught the channel guide and could not believe what I saw. Oh, my god I felt a rush of happiness. It turns out my favorite radio talk show host now has a show on HNN.

Yes it is Glenn Beck so if you dont like it put a sock in it.

Why couldn't this happen to us?

Ok, I could only be this lucky and If I was I would tell all my friends and say nothing when I went in to pay for my gas. I would consider it payback for all of the times I have gone into a gas station and got "sub-par" service.

Malfunction Cuts Gas Price to 29 Cents

HAMMOND, Ind. (AP) - When a pump at a gas station malfunctioned, opportunistic motorists were able to buy gas for 29 cents per gallon. A Marathon station sold a gallon of fuel for less than the price of a first-class stamp for about 90 minutes Friday before the mistake was detected and and the price corrected to $2.79. While still answering questions from customers about why the price had suddenly gone up, clerk Nida Tayyab said more than 50 people had crowded the store, likely thinking the mishap was a price promotion, and received the bargain. Normally, the station serves about 10 people per hour. "I was really confused," she said. "It was so messed up. I can't explain here how it was." When Tayyab figured out what was going on, she called her father, who works at another store, for help fixing the situation. "It's fine now. It's all working," Tayyab added.

Bad Parenting!

I thought I would be able to use this picture for something yeah I was reading snopes and could not resist. I am glad the babies were rescued.

LAYTON, Utah - It wasn't chickens that were crossing the road. It was a mother duck and 10 ducklings and the road was Interstate 15.Utah Highway Patrol Sgt. Chris Simmons slowed traffic and herded the ducks, which were waddling south in the northbound lane, to the highway's grassy median. But five of the ducklings slipped through a storm grate and Davis County Animal Control officers joined the Friday rescue.Officers Ashley Langford and Brandie Stanley used tongs to get two of the ducklings out, but the others headed deep inside the pipe that runs under I-15. They duct-taped a small net to the tongs and then waited for more than two hours before each little duckling eventually wandered from the pipe within reach of the net.The ducklings were placed in a pet carrier and the mother in a separate crate. All were taken to a new home - away from the highway - at Layton Commons Park."We released the baby ducks first, then their mom. They all dashed to the pond," Langford said. "It was a great reunion."

I can't stop laughing at this one!

Please excuse me for today but I am going to get a lil' ghetto. God Damn!

The fashion king slappin up a lil Axl. I read the following headling and couldn't stop rolling on the floor. What is up with celebrities today?



Axl "Hilfiger just kept smacking me"

From Yahoo News

NEW YORK - It was a one-two encounter between Axl Rose and Tommy Hilfiger. The rocker and designer capped a Thursday evening out at a new club called The Plumm in Manhattan's Chelsea neighborhood with midnight fisticuffs. "There was an issue between the two of them," Plumm owner Noel Ashman told The Associated Press. The scuffle reportedly started after the Guns N' Roses front man moved the drink of Hilfiger's girlfriend, Dee Ocleppo. "I moved his girlfriend's drink so it wouldn't spill," Rose told the Los Angeles radio station KROQ on Friday. "It was the most surreal thing, I think, that's ever happened to me in my life."According to the 44-year-old singer, Hilfiger, 55, smacked him in the arm and told him to put the drink back. "He just kept smacking me," Rose said. Attempts to reach Hilfiger or a representative were not immediately successful. Rose was there to play a surprise set for "Rent" actress Rosario Dawson' name

Back In The Day

Remember when you were a little kid when you looked at stuff and found something really cool. You asked for it for every birthday and Christmas but never got it. I was in target today wandering the toy isles with the kids and spotted something that I have not seen in eons. Sea monkeys yeah that's right I said sea monkeys. I used to get comic books when I was a kid and there would always be some sort of ad in there for these things but no one in my family knew what they were until I mentioned it to my bizarre uncle. He told me he had them when he was little. By the looks of the ad it looks like they could do some pretty cool stuff and bam I was totally into it. My uncle said that you mail in for the critters and then you hatch them in your little sea monkey habitat. Anyhow I asked and asked for these but never got them. Well later in my adult life I started a large aquarium with tropical fish the dealer told me that these fish like live food. At the time I was keeping Discus, I asked what they liked to eat they said black worms and "sea monkeys" I was like sea monkeys? Show me what they look like, then I finally saw that they were brine shrimp. Now I know why I never got them as a gift they are weird looking and resemble nothing like the comic book ads stated I think there is a conspiracy here we should get those sea monkey people for false advertising.

I Need A New Job!

I think I am losing my intelligence! My IQ has dropped 4 points I am now a 126. To think I used to be a genius. I must have a hole in my head where the stuff just falls out, I dont get it.

It's Hot In Here And Why Am I In A Handbasket

To those of you who have not read the DaVinci Code you may want to quit reading this because it includes some spoilers.

I am a spiritual person but not a religious one. As a child my family introduced me to religion I went to a Lutheran high school for 2 years. I will admit I have serious issues with organized religion. Call me a pagan if you want. I am at a point where I am doubting my faith. Reading this book has only made it worse. I know it is fiction but why would fiction be so controversial if there wasn't some truth in it the book it's totally believable up until about the last 40 pages.

What if tomorrow we did all discover that Jesus Christ was a married man would that be such a bad thing? If that is true then there would be descendants of Christ walking the earth right now.

There is a portion of the book that discussed the new testament to be inaccurate that important information was left out. Think about it, this man described to us as the messiah he walked on water, fed the hungry, died for our sins and was resurrected. There is nothing in there about his childhood what did he do as a kid or was he only considered a diety after he started his ministry?

My mother keeps telling me there is a god, a divine being that created us all otherwise how did we get here. No on really knows, my thoughts about the "Greatest Story Ever Told" is exactly that, a "Story" I'm not asking for proof here I am just voicing my thoughts. Lately this is one of my personal demons. I have abided by the good book for a long time and try to emphasize the teachings to my children so that hopefully they will grow up to be model citizens.

Where Did She Get Her Bra!

Well since everybody has been talking about woman issues this week this article sparked my interest.

From the AP

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) - A 44-year-old woman escaped serious injury from a gunshot Sunday thanks to her seat belt and a thick bra strap, authorities said. Robin Key, 44, of Riverview, Fla., was shot through the windshield of the car she was riding in Sunday. She said she felt a searing pain in her shoulder. Hillsborough County sheriff's deputies said a .38-caliber bullet smashed through the windshield then bounced off Key's shoulder - thanks to a seat belt and a thick bra strap. The copper-jacketed slug landed in her lap. "It's a big bullet, but you had all those forces acting against it," Hillsborough sheriff's spokesman J.D. Callaway told the St. Petersburg Times. "It's very rare that something like that occurs. She's very lucky. You know, we're just glad she came out OK." Key said she didn't know why anyone would shoot her. Sheriff's deputies later arrested two men in connection with the shooting several hours later.
Authorities said they do not have a motive for the shooting.

It's About Time!!!

I just read that Dubbya is going to send troops to the border but I don't think 6,000 is going to be enough. Remember that thing hands across America?

They should make a chain along the border and all hold hands. And shoot anyone who tries to pass. Then some day my kids will be able to get jobs! Yeah, I know this is harsh, but it's just my opinion. Because if they don't do something Canada is going to have a problem.

I am amazed How Common This Is

I always joke with my mom that someday she will be the "Cat Lady" Currently she has 2 and I know she won't get another one, but just the thought that people will actually take in many more animals than they should.

I have seen this quite often on the news and its is really common to see an article like this on Snopes I have actually read 2 in the last week.

What I am talking about is Animal Hoarding. I think for one its disgusting especially when the person who has the animals doesn't take care of them and 2 I feel bad for the animals because they are not being taken care of.

How many animals is too many?

I found this article at www.snopes.com

HESPERIA, Calif. (AP) - Workers wearing gas masks removed 227 animals that were in "deplorable" condition from a home that reeked of urine, authorities said.

The final tally included 98 guinea pigs, 84 cats, 27 dogs, 14 rabbits, 3 potbellied pigs and 1 bird, Code Compliance Supervisor Tony Genovesi said Wednesday.
Two of the pigs had such severely injured hooves that they had turned them in and were walking on a higher point on their legs, officials said.
"I'm surprised they're not all sick with upper respiratory infections because they're breathing straight ammonia," said Susan Bradley, a kennel technician with the animal control department.
if Hesperia homeowners are allowed to keep six cats, six dogs and 65 cage animals, Genovesi said. All of the animals were removed from the home because of the bad health conditions, he said.
The residents will get back the ones they're allowed to own once the home is fit for their habitation, he said.
It was unclear why the residents kept so many animals.
A person at the home declined to comment to the Victorville Daily Press.
Officials said they learned of the conditions at the home on Friday, when they served an unrelated warrant on a residence across the street.
Authorities previously visited the home in August 2004 and removed dozens of animals, Genovesi said.

That Darn Watch Again!

Back in December I had another blog called Me and 2 Kids. I originally posted a rant about how selfish my daughter can be at times. This I normal I have read.

Well recently I did a podcast with a fellow blogger who I will allow to remain nameless for the sake that he caused the rehash of this particular event.

Anyway this past x-mas my family spent a small fortune on my 2 children my daughter who is 6 and my son who is 3. I would say they received about 800 - 1000 worth in presents. I had to exchange a few of the items due to being the wrong size. I want to kohls I would say 3 days after x-mas or so. Upon exchanging these said items my daughter see's this pokemon watch and brgs me for it. I said no and explained to her that she just got a whole lot of goodies from "Santa" well this turned into a fierce temper tantrum and we left the store without the watch.

Well the watch reared its ugly head again on Wednesday night when we were doing the pod cast and again on Friday when I went to the store again to take care of a check issue. I just cant believe that the mention of an item could bring on such terror. I stood my ground and again I left the store without the watch.

I'm So Excited!!

I actually perused the front page of the MJS this morning. I am glad to hear that Ex-Governor Tommy Thompson could possibly be running again.

He is right If he runs, He will WIN!

Stop Eating That Bread

I love bread but this is over the top! I found this on snopes and decided to share it with other bread eaters for a good laugh.

By the way there is no truth to this.

!!! BREAD IS DANGEROUS !!! Research on bread indicates that:

1. More than 98 percent of convicted felons are bread users.

2. Fully HALF of all children who grow up in bread-consuming households score below average on standardized tests.

3. In the 18th century, when virtually all bread was baked in the home, the average life expectancy was less than 50 years; infant mortality rates were unacceptably high; many women died in childbirth; and diseases such as typhoid, yellow fever, and influenza ravaged whole nations.

4. More than 90 percent of violent crimes are committed within 24 hours of eating bread.

5. Bread is made from a substance called "dough." It has been proven that as little as one pound of dough can be used to suffocate a mouse. The average American eats more bread than that in one month!

6. Primitive tribal societies that have no bread exhibit a low incidence of cancer, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's disease, and osteoporosis.

7. Bread has been proven to be addictive. Subjects deprived of bread and given only water to eat begged for bread after as little as two days.

8. Bread is often a "gateway" food item, leading the user to "harder" items such as butter, jelly, peanut butter, and even cold cuts.

9. Bread has been proven to absorb water. Since the human body is more than 90 percent water, it follows that eating bread could lead to your body being taken over by this absorptive food product, turning you into a soggy, gooey bread-pudding person.

10. Newborn babies can choke on bread.

11. Bread is baked at temperatures as high as 400 degrees Fahrenheit! That kind of heat can kill an adult in less than one minute.

12. Most American bread eaters are utterly unable to distinguish between significant scientific fact and meaningless statistical babbling.

In light of these frightening statistics, it has been proposed that the following bread restrictions be made:

1. No sale of bread to minors.

2. A nationwide "Just Say No To Toast" campaign, complete celebrity TV spots and bumper stickers.

3. A 300 percent federal tax on all bread to pay for all the societal ills we might associate with bread.

4. No animal or human images, nor any primary colors (which may appeal to children) may be used to promote bread usage.5. The establishment of "Bread-free" zones around schools.

The Cat Is Out Of THe Bag Now Brittney

I listen to 103.7 KISS FM in the morning. Every day they have a segment called the "Junk Drawer" Well todays topic was yet again about the Brittney K-Fed saga.

Apparently good ol' Britt has been secretly meeting with attorneys to spring a suprise divorce on K-Fed.

Hope he doesn't listen to the radio.

Again another story that shows he pure stupidity.

I'm A Slacker!

About 2 weeks ago I bought a Sony Playstation 2. For me to share with the kids. I also bought the game Grand Theft Auto San Andreas. Can you say hysterical and addicting! Anyway for those of you who have not yet experienced the joys of GTA, this is a must have, but it's rated for mature audiences so I play it in the morning like 6 am when I get home from work.

You are CJ, you just came back to the west coast because yo mom's was capped. Anyway you start rollin with some of yo old school homies and beat up crackheads and other drug and gun slingers. I did find out that you can also beat the crap out of the average passer by and take their money, and people walking by just look at the dead guy. I know its violent but I thinking for now it's and outlet. Oh you can also carjack anybody and run over the po po.

I would give this game 5 stars

I also purchased the Lego Star Wars game if you are a fan of the movies you will love the game its rated E for everyone.

For the spiderman fan try Ultimate Spiderman you can be Venom and kick the crap out of Wolverine.

I know you all were wondering what the heck I have been doing and this it is.
