Hey Freak!

Does anybody know anyone who's won something in the McDonald's Monopoly game? Ever? Seriously. They've been doing that game for wha, 15? 20 years? During that time, I've lived in Phoenix, Chicago, Las Vegas, and now San Diego, and I've still never encountered anyone (or anyone who knows someone) who's won something (besides a small drink or fries). They always have a lot of mid-level prizes (e.g. an X-Box), so you figure somebody's got to have won, right? Do you know anyone? And, totally unrelated... How do you flip people off? Are you a grabber (left) or are you freestyle (right)? Me? I've always been a freestyler. It seems weird to pull my fingers back with my thumb. I dunno; I guess that's just how I learned it, and haven't changed. What about you?

Jon Stewart pretty much sums up my last post, except he's much funnier. Well, as funny as you can be when you're talking about people who try to legislate against gang rape victims...

If you don't know, Sen. Al Franken (D-MN) recently introduced an amendment to a Defense Appropriations Bill that would punish contractors if they restrict their employees from taking workplace sexual assault, battery, and discrimination cases to court. In other words, if employees are assaulted/discriminated against, then they have the right to sue the contractor. Even more simply, if you're at work and you're raped, you can sue the company. Well, the bill passed, 68-30. Wait, 30 people voted against this? 30 people voted to protect companies when they assault or discriminate against their own workers? Who are these people?

Today is the last day of the Boobiethon! which has so far this year raised over $9,500 in donations! A great job by all those involved. As usual, I'm late to the party, but since it's the last day, I thought I'd submit something: Maybe we can get the donations over 10k? That'd be awesome!

OK, so yesterday morning, I was driving around in a residential area... I came to a four-way stop and stopped as people are supposed to do. Some lady in this beat up ol' car kinda blew through the intersection (i.e. she DID stop, but totally went out of turn - against BOTH cars crossing in front of her, almost hitting both) and just kept on driving. OK, fine, lots of people run four-way stops or stop incorrectly. I get that. But this woman had intent on going when it wasn't her turn. No biggie, I guess. Well, I had next turn at the stop, so I went... I had to turn right, which meant that I was right behind Ms. Too-Important-To-Stop. So I got a front row view to watching her trying to build up speed and pass someone on the right. In the parking lane. In a residential area. With a school nearby, and kids everywhere. Trying to pass where you're not supposed to pass. So, I watched her attempt to pass the car in front of her about four different times, each time almost hitting that car. At this point, I made sure to read the licence plate, because if this kept up, I was going to call the cops on her. I'm not one to usually call the cops, but damn, this woman was driving so recklessly that I couldn't ignore it. Well, traffic came to a stop, and she zoomed in the parking "lane" (it wasn't really a driving lane - just somewhere for people to parallel park) and went about four cars forward, until a parked car stopped her. I thought she was going to cut back in when traffic resumed moving, but no, she was dropping her kid off. The woman was driving like a fool with her 10 or 12 year old kid with her. Sheesh. But then... after she dropped the kid off, she immediately stuck her nose back in traffic (which had now started moving again), but didn't get back in the lane. Oh, no, she wanted to make a U-turn right there, on a small, two lane street in the middle of traffic. Nice. So, uncharacteristically for me (but not too surprising, considering the week I've had), I yelled at her as she drove by: "Learn to fucking drive, bitch!" The bitch actually stopped, backed her car up, and got out to yell at me (traffic stopped again because we all missed the light because somebody blocked traffic whilst trying to make a U-turn). "Were you talking to me?" "Yeah, I was talking to you! Learn to fucking drive!" (again, uncharacteristic of me... I'm usually non-confrontational, but I figured showing weakness probably wouldn't be good here. plus, I was fucking pissed!) It was then that I noticed that she had another kid in the back seat. I didn't see a car seat, but then again, I'm no expert on spotting child car seats, so maybe she had some stealthy on or something. "I ain't yo bitch! I ain't nobody's bitch! I AIN'T YO BITCH!" "I didn't say you were MY bitch... I said you were A bitch!" "I ain't yo bitch! I should slap you! Talk to me like that in front of my kid! I've got a kid here!" "Well maybe you shouldn't be driving like a fucking maniac then, bitch!" (yeah, I probably shouldn't have added that last "bitch" there either, but oh well) Luckily, by this time, traffic started moving again, so we exchanged a few pleasant "Fuck You!"s and I drove off. She probably thought I was running from her, but frankly, I was just over it, and didn't want to waste any more time on her. Man, what is with people? She drives recklessly in a residential area, endangering all the kids around... and then she hides behind her own kids? I'm sorry, just because you're a mom doesn't give you the right to be like that. Just because you're a mom doesn't mean we should ignore your faults. You know what? I'm pretty much sick of people who say "Well, I'm a mom..." Let me explain. I'm not anti-mom. I'm not anti-women. If we're talking about baby food, or child car seats, or household cleaners that are non-toxic, or just anything that a mom might talk about, OK, yeah... go ahead and chime in. "Well, I'm a mom..." Yeah. I'll listen to you. But if you drive like a fucking nutjob and almost cause a car wreck, then your "Well, I'm a mom..." doesn't mean a thing to me. You can't use "Well, I'm a mom... " to excuse your own shitty behavior. I don't think I'm wrong in thinking this, am I? Anyway... if you're ever around La Mesa, CA, and you see a beat up car (I think it was an old Honda Accord, late 80's) with the license plate 2XQA425, steer clear.

OK, so what do you think will appear first: a) a popular movie starring Megan Fox that does NOT have the word "Transformers" in it... or... b) a Megan Fox sex tape...?
