Sugarmama said it better than I can, I'm in a serious funk at the moment. I'll blog again when I damn well fell like it. Happy Monday!
Got a busy Thanksgiving week ahead, not sure when I'll be able to post again. Here's some Monday headlines to keep you occupied:
All the cool kids have mutant pets that glow in the dark now.
Speaking of mutants, Michael's still a freak. What a shocker.
Sugarmama is now the master of her domain. Would some brave soul (who's not at work) click here and tell me what pops up?
Finally, this is the nastiest holiday idea that I've ever seen. Someone get a case of this stuff over to The Sneeze ASAP.

Enjoyed meeting Matt and his fiance Misty last night at Garage. Congratulations on your upcoming wedding, but who the heck gets married on Iron Bowl Saturday? Looks like the next attempt at a get together will be sometime after the holidays. I had a great idea for a way to make the next one exciting - let's take Jett to the Dean for President meetup! We can all bring rebel flags to wave.
Sorry about the lack of updates but I've been busy saving the galaxy. No, really! Anyway, rather than do any real work I decided to add some more buttons on the right for blogs that you should be visiting:
Diversionz gathers more weird headlines than anywhere else I've seen. Try and find the fake ones.
The Sneeze is just amazing. Anyone who will eat potted meat and Beggin Strips for his fans deserves a link.
Last but certainly not least, Jett is, well, Jett. You'll have to read it for yourself, you'll like it. She's another of those dang Alabama webloggers, tell her I said how you.

Last chance to sign up for the Weblogger Meetup - link is above. The meeting is Wednesday night at Garage, assuming enough people sign up.
I gotta run go pack, got a plane to catch. Today is Veterans Day, and Jett said it better than I ever could. Keep those guys and gals in mind today.
Ack...it's Monday and my head hurts and I don't feel like doin anything. I'll be in Florida most of this week, I'll update when I can. Till I do, you can always play with those pretty buttons over to the right and see what pops up...
Sex in The News:
Queer Eye for the Straight Sucker. Kind of fitting that there were five of them, no?
Welcome to Singapore! Sex with a sixteen-year old prostitute = OK. ORAL sex with a sixteen-year old prostitute = 2 years in prison. Got it?

TGIF...not much to blog today. I'll be workin the smoke shop tomorrow if you need any stogies. Have a good weekend!
This story proves my belief that it's pretty much impossible to tell the men from the women in Japan other than their clothes and haircuts.
Fur burglar strikes in Homewood. Man, how often do you get a chance to say fur burglar? Fur burglar fur burglar fur burglar!
CMA Ramblings (that's Country Music Awards, yankee boy)
They let Vince Gill host cause he's the only male singer that doesn't (a) look like a grubby redneck and/or (b) constantly wear a stupid-ass hat.
Kid Rock had no business on there, grubby or not.
It was nice to see Johnny Cash get some recognition.
I remember when Allison Krauss was a big ole gal. She has an amazing voice.
Patty Loveless is still a feckin' hottie.
Leann Rimes will never be a hottie (to me) cause I'll always see the little kid, no matter how hoochified she gets.
Jimmy Buffett looks a LOT like Larry David these days. Weird.
Shania and Faith are still easy to look at, and that'll keep people buying their records I guess.
The Dixie Chicks were a no-show. I was really hoping they'd show up nekkid.
SICK
I've always been lucky and avoided major health problems. I can count on one hand the number of times I've been flat on my back sick. And when I get an annoying little cough/sinus cold like I have now, my usual (and manly) reaction is to tough it out. You're sick enough to feel bleah, but not really sick enough to stay at home or change your routine. Eventually it goes away, or you end up in the hospital - either way it gets taken care of. So it was with great reluctance that I drug my butt to the Doc In A Box today to try and get rid of this junk that's been dogging me for a couple of weeks - I was finally nagged there by co-workers who got tired of my coughing.
Now getting stuck is one of my least favorite things in the world. There's always a chance I'm gonna keel over if there are needles around. So naturally, the first thing they did was take some blood...I can't remember the last time I did that. Luckily, the nurse was a pro, and it actually hurt more pulling the bandaid off my hairy arm later. Then after a while the doc came in and said "blahblah blahblahblah blah SHOT blah blahblah". Man, I probably got my last shot in 1993. I knew if I came here they'd stick me. At least I didn't pass out.
So forty bucks, one sore butt, and 45 minutes at WalMart waiting for drugs (15 of which was waiting for the little old lady to figure out how to work the register) later, I made it home to begin my recovery. I'm such a wuss.

Novell to acquire SuSE Linux. IBM was kind of in the deal too, they invested in Novell. With SuSE and Ximian, Novell is well on their way to having a viable commercial Linux desktop.

Jack Bauer update - now that he's in charge of CTU, he's upgraded all the computers (a lot of them got blown up last season) to Linux with the KDE desktop (they used Macs before).
Big news in the Linux geek world - Red Hat is ending its consumer version and only selling the high-dollar Enterprise software. Supposedly the Fedora Project will be an alternative. (sigh) Time to start test driving distros again.
