Oops

I sometimes find spelling mistakes in my old blog entries and dutifully fix them.

Lately though I have found that if I change spelling and grammar on an entry I get my paragraphs merged into one block of type.

So in long entries like “The Hank Keene Show” the poor English will remain.

So enjoy my :

Rant number 78 by Chief Oaf

Nothing can be turned off anymore. No longer are there switches which actually disconnect the power. Instead, pressing the "Off" button just puts the television or cell phone to sleep, simulating a state of "offishness". But the gadget is not really off. It sits there listening to everything going on around it, running it's little programs, plotting and calculating, waiting for the signal to pretend to be "on" again.

You can always pull the plug. But they hate it when you do that. When you plug them back in they yell and blink at you. They get cranky and make your life miserable so that you won't do that again. And, sometimes they are still alive even when you pull the plug. They shut down their life support systems to a bare minimum and grimly wait you out. I think the switches should have four positions: ON, OFF, VERY OFF, and DEAD AS A DOORNAIL. That way you have a little more say in the matter.

Also I want a helicopter in my garage.

In reply to: Rant number 78I know what you mean. It use to be when you turned something on a little red LED would come on to tell you that it was on. Know a little red LED comes on to tell you that it is off. I have a sub woofer with an amp in it. You can’t turn it off. Only if it decides your not using it will it turn off. So I randomly hear it go thump to tell me that it’s done with me.

Hay!

“Hay, Daughter ZZ what should I draw. “

“How about a fairy playing a musical instrument?”

“Ok I'll give it a go!”

*Scratch scratch scribble scribble *

“There done, what do ya think?”

“Your heart just wasn’t in it was it Dad.”

“…Ya.”

Truueee! Art Mwa!

Art is subjective at best.

I find pretty girls that smile are very good artists.

But Girls that smile at richer men are better artists.

Some dream of flying.
I dream of falling from a great height…

after being hit by a heavenly flyswatter.

Ying and Yang

Happy people are drawn to sad people to make them feel bad about not being happy.
Sad people are drawn to happy people to make them feel bad about not being sad.
Both put great value on guilt.
Therefore guilt is the most reasonable response to life.

I Get my Fabric Plastic at Wal-Mart

Some Real Projects 2

We play Munchkin on game night at our town library,
So I made some fabric plastic boxes to carry them in.

Mp3

Daughter ZZ said, “Dad I’d like to get a charging station for my mp3 player, their only $12.99”.

“TWELVE NINTY-NINE! What, do you think I’m made of money? I’ll make you one”.





















Just because I haven’t been bloging lately doesn’t mean I haven't been busy.

Reverence

Some things can’t survive if not made fun of.

Hold something in reverence and most people will show little interest,

and why should they?

They can’t make fun of it.

Nancy Drew: Danger on Deception Island

Get 15 Clams from beach.
OK seems easy enough
20 minutes I got 5 clams WOOOOHOOOO!
20 more minutes 5 more clams ok…
I’ll check the other beach
20 minutes later I got 3 Clams, k this is losing its pizzazz.
30 minutes later Nancy says (no more clams here)
Go online, walkthrough says, “Go back and forth between the 2 beaches after a while there will be some more.”
k…?
I do this for 25 minutes
Someone takes pity on me and does this for 25 more minutes
Maybe there was a glitch
So, save game, turn off computer
Restart computer, restart game
Play game another 25 minutes and still no clams
I have had all the fun I can take, and I dump the game.

I lovingly fold the CD in half and put it in the trash.

Read reviews on game. Everyone loves the game. It’s the best Nancy Drew game ever!
“A great way for parents to bond with their kids.”
I don’t think so
Maybe if you consider openly weeping in front of your family, ‘bonding’
I didn’t even feel like I was bonding with myself

If this is what people call a fun game.
I think I’ll make my own game to play and all I will need is a piece of paper that say’s:

You are in a dark dungeon, you see ye flask
*Get ye flask*
You can’t get ye flask.
*Touch ye flask *
It is cold to the touch.
*Smell ye flask*
It smells of spring and all the joy that spring brings
*Get ye flask*
You can’t get ye flask!
Now you sit there wondering why, oh why, you can’t get ye flask!
*repeat… FOREVER*

Update:
I found another walkthroughs that was better and bought another copy. I played it again and finished the game. I have found that I have anger management issues with computer games.
