Re: Where is Granny?
It's ridiculous, isn't it? Someone sent me that and I stared at it for some time before seeing the face, completely repressed, and longing for freedom...but I have no idea who those people are...
As I watched the news and see the ridiculousness growing, I try to laugh more. Unemployment at -what?- 9.4% today, and experts predicting it to go to 12+.... Men getting married? A 1000 Secrets Declassified? The Black Sea moving to Florida? The LAPD find? Depending on where you live in the country, things will certainly not be getting better any time soon.
I also grew fascinated with mercs. Not people dressing in military garb, but the Chicago Mercantile, to be specific. First, I am fascinated with the public outcry system since it seems to work there, whereas the internet's public outcry system seems to be only inviting to more outcry.
Systems, like economics, tend to be needful of achieving balance and efficiency. Our economic system, for instance, has been out of whack and growing more unstable. As more and more communities (think real big and don't really think of them as communities; it's just a nice-sounding word) become equally unstable, changes are near, and changes are painful.
I do not know if this means I will be picking onions next year, but I can tell you that I have made nearly 70 cents on the dollar with pork bellies in the last year. Pork bellies. Ridiculous.

Yeah, ever stop and ask yourself "How in the hell did we get to this place?" This aint hell, but you can see it from here.

Re: Where is Granny?
Hide the nanny? That's ridiculous. But it could be more ridiculous.
Take for instance the Atheist & Agnostic Association's billboard on Rev. Billy Graham Way in NC.
Or this Wedding Announcement in the NY Times.
What, Russian spy ring?
The irony of people waiting for an actual balloon going up makes me hope it is the Snoopy balloon from the big Macy's parade...

More evidence.
True story. Yesterday, I received a brief from a civilian man that, despite his double-chin and the beard he was growing on his nose, was quite comical. I almost thought it was rehearsed since he used every over-used military term and historical idiom that he could. I paraphrase:
<span style="font-style: italic">“Good morning. Excuse my French, but I know that we accept zero tolerance in peeling back the onion in support of the warfighter in this kinetic world. He is where the rubber meets the road, the real deal, and in a wild and wooly way, so we need to rise and shine and keep as our rule of thumb that Rome was not built in a day nor offer him a rain check because we have run out of steam. Off the record, we need to mitigate some of our gyrations.”</span>
Make no bones about it, I thought this mumbo jumbo was so over the top that I went out on the town. It was a knee jerk reaction.
In June, I was pulled over because one of my brake lights was out. When the officer asked me if I knew this I replied that I did but I had to wait because if I went to get it fixed, they would see that I was missing a windshield wiper on the passenger side and that my inspection decal had expired the first of the month, and then would try to correct these problems. His eyes grew wide and then he looked to verify what I said. Then he asked me why I was waiting to get the inspection. I replied that I thought a decal with 7-11 on it would look cooler than one that read 6-11. He laughed and then walked back to his car and drove away…
I was not sure what to think about it. It was kind of ridiculous, and I have been recording ridiculousness for some time.
Like the time I was banned from riding a motorcycle because I refused to participate in the reciprocal wave club. I admit trying to point with two fingers kind of down and at an angle for a bit, but then I just refused to wave or signal back. Groupthink scares me. I refuse to buy a black Northface jacket, or use a basket in a grocery store. Baskets are communist. Ridiculous to offer them...

Re: Where is Granny?
Has anyone read about the debate on the fact that a good part of the "Stimulus" money has been spent on making signs saying "This sign is what your stimulus money was spent on?"
Ridiculous...

They're blocking out the scenery breaking my mind.
