I think I need a battery powered, pocket sized version.

A Sad Day

'Twas the morning after Thanksgiving and all through the house
Alexander was running as quiet as a mouse...HAHAHA.

But seriously, this past Friday marks a sad day in my life. I had thought that there were some absolutes in life. Some unchangeable things that one could always count on. I was wrong.

Because I have an alarm clock without a snooze bar (which we lovingly call Alexander) and because there were a couple things at Best Buy that were on sale for freakishly good prices, the Shumways actually went shopping on Crazy-Person day. We got the car loaded and headed towards our first destination, Best Buy.

It would be safe to say that Best Buy is one of my favorite toy stores. I don't get to go as often as I like and so was looking forward to a visit this morning. I mean, this is Best Buy where almost everything needs batteries, goes beep, or requires a computer.

Alexander is sitting happily in his car seat going nuts every time he sees a tractor. Karen and I are chatting in the front. And I'm driving the car slipping into that autopilot navigation mode where you know where you are going but just not really paying attention to directions (still watching the road of course). And then it happened. My autopilot navigational system, which, let me remind you, is supposed to be taking me to BEST BUY, turns me towards

The Uxorial Redheaded says...

"My finger is a bit stiff. I think I used it too much yesterday."

Jack "Attention Whore" Thompson...

...has been disbarred in Alabama! Mr. Thompson (a Florida lawyer) was part of a legal team in an Alabama case claiming that the video game (or as Mr. T would like it called - murder simulator) Grand Theft Auto was responsible for an 18 year old (Devin Moore) fatally shooting some police officers. What influence the game may have had aside, Mr. T has made quite the ass of himself throughout his career most recently creating his "Modest Proposal" where he promised $10,000 to charity if any one would create, market, and distribute his very graphic and disgusting game idea. The resulting hoopla made our dimwitted lawyer decide to withdraw himself from the case in Alabama as his presense would detract from the facts. Here's the good part. Judge James Moore decided that wasn't good enough and rejected Mr. T's voluntary removal, kicked him from the case, disbarred him in Alabama, and wrote an 18 page complaint to the Alabama Bar.

For more information on the crazy man himself you can visit the Wiki and read about such things as when he was running against Janet Reno for Dade County State Attorney he presented her with a piece of paper at a debate which read:
I, Janet Reno, am a
[] Homosexual
[] Bisexual
[] Heterosexual
and asked her to check one.

I'd like to say a few words...

Strawberry.
Elephant.
Periwinkle.

Thank you.
