AHA! Vermin Captured
Last night, as I was lying in bed reading a Xanth novel prior to wending my way to dreamland and enjoying the soft purr coming from Lucy, one of our cats lying on top of the clean laundry in the basket at the end of the bed, I observed another little face peeking out from the other side of the basket.
It was Denita, Rodent escape artist extrodinaire, who has been causing havoc about the Citidal for the last four days after her latest escape from the spacious cage she shares with Beth. It seems that she enjoys the taste of data cables, causing us to lose our DSL connection for two days. Worse, we only discovered the real cause of the disconnect after SBC had sent a tech out to ascertain the nature of our outage.... I slipped out from under the covers as quietly and smoothly as I could (at last all those times that I came home late from an establisment of terpsechordian ecydesiasts stood me in good stead for a moral purpose) and approached the basket from behind. Denita must have noticed some movement, as she was attempting to hide underneath Lucy, with only her tail hanging out. Lucy never moved during this whole episode. A quick grab, and I had eight ounces of enraged Rattus Norvegicus hanging down in front of my face. She tried to double back on herself to give me (to her reckining, a well deserved) a nip, but I was prepared for it and was too fast for HER instead of the reverse this time.I conveyed her to the little travel cage and put her back into confinement, until such time as I can ensure that the larger cage that she shares with Beth will resist her talents at escape. She is NOT a happy camper...she was having far too much fun chasing the cats about the Citidal and chewing through vital data cords to be happy in an enclosed environment. I think that we'll have to get an aquarium type enclosure to prevent future free-ranging. Harder to clean, but worth it to not worry about unauthorised access to the Citidal. I think Beth was delight to see her cagemate back, even if at present they are just in side by side enclosures. I never knew that Rats were such social creatures, but they truly aren't happy being alone. Denita was content with her interaction with the cats, but Beth almost seemed to go into a state of depression. She did a backflip when she saw Denita in the cage next to her, and made some excited chitters at her.

He hasn't lost his touch...
Bill Clinton yet again proves just what kind of a man he is...a self-serving egotist.

MSM...
Yep! There's no bias in the MSM news we're getting out of Iraq....after all, we would have loved to have Edward R. Murrow reporting on the war from behind the German lines in WWll, wouldn't we?
Of course, the Moonbats would say that the media were only showing "both sides" in the conflict....funny how all the reporting thus far seems to highlight thePosted by: Delftsman3 at 02:24 AM | Comments (4) | Add Comment | Trackbacks (Suck)
Spammer gets the Slammer
I was exstatic to see THIS. Spammers are living proof that Satan does exist, IMHO. It's good to see one get his just desserts for a change. I think there should be a way to make it all illegal, not just spamming under an alias, such as in this case....

A dark and Stormy Night
They were together in the House.
Just the two of them. It was a cold, dark, stormy night.
The storm had come quickly and
each time the thunder boomed he
watched her jump. She looked across the room and
admired his strong appearance... and wished that he would take her in his
arms, comfort her and protect her
from the storm. She wanted that... more than anything. Suddenly, with a pop, the power
went out... She screamed... He raced to the sofa where she was
cowering. He didn't hesitate to pull her into his arms. He knew this was a forbidden union and
expected her to pull back.
He was surprised when she didn't resist
but instead clung to him. The storm raged on... as did their growing
passion. And
there came a moment when each knew
that they had to be together. They knew it was wrong... Their families would never understand...
So consumed were they in their passion
that they heard no opening of doors...
just the faint click of a camera... >>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>> >>>>>>> >>>>> >>> >> >
....And just what were YOU thinking????

DSL Down
Well, sorry I haven't been able to post anything for the last two days, we had a slight connectivity problem with the DSL line....as in the connection was non-existant. Seems that one of our pets that decided that the data cable looked really tasty and ate a piece out of it. Of course we didn't discover it until AFTER the tech had been called out to check our outside lines.
Then it was a matter of finding some old passwords we haven't used since we first set up the system, to be able to reboot the DSL modem. Don't you just LOVE modern technology? I will return after I get reaquainted with whats going on in the world and try to put up a semi-decent post....meanwhile I have a Rat to nab.Posted by: Delftsman3 at 05:42 PM | Comments (3) | Add Comment | Trackbacks (Suck)

SENSITIVE SIDE OF A HUSBAND
Saturday afternoon, I was sitting on my lawn chair, drinking beer
and watching my wife, mow the lawn.
shouted "you should be hung." I took a slug from my bottle of Corona, wiped the cold foam from
my lips, lifted my darkened Ray Ban sunglasses, stared directly at this
nosey woman and calmly replied, "I am, that's why she cuts the grass." After a few days I felt really bad so I went and bought my wife a
riding mower to show my sensitive side. I am so proud of the deal I got,
I have attached a picture.

The Imperial Poet Laureate
Doggeral Pundit has a little verse constituting fair warning to those of you that have fallen sway to the class-warfare meme of those that constantly harp that the "Rich" don't pay their "fair share". Remember it when they reclassify YOU in a higher bracket!

Right to Defend
The Florida Legislature has passsed a bill that allows a person to meet force with force, even when it occurs outside the home. Prior to this legislation, it was incumbant on a person assailed to "make reasonable efforts to retreat" from confrontation.
The GFW's, as usual, are predicting a bloodbath to ensue in the cities of Florida if the bill is signed into law by Gov. Bush. And, as usual, I am positive that the facts will refute their contentions several years from now. Every time legislation passes that reaffirms the individuals right to protect themselves from attack, the GFW's trot out the same dire predictions of "bloodbaths" and "wild West mentalities" running rampant, yet in every case, the result of such legislation has resulted in the lowering of violent crime rates in every instance. Yes there are a few incidents of criminals getting their just rewards, but the victoms in those incidents have been found to be justified in their responses in every case, and susequently, criminals are more circumspect in their predations, knowing that the risk to themselves in their actions have been greatly increased. As in any business, criminals weigh risk to benefit ratios in their decicions to commit crimes, the weaker their target is, the more likely they are to prey upon them. To say that an individual has a duty to retreat in the face of violent crime is to give power to the violent criminal, and to suggest that an individual has to retreat in the face of aggression within their own home is to negate the very foundation of the idea that we have the right to be safe (defend) in our person afforded us by our Declaration of Independance....Remember? That right to pursue LIFE, Liberty, and Happiness? Congratulations to the Florida Legislature to bringing common sense back into the law. I trust that Gov. Bush will sign the legislation, to the betterment of all law abiding Flordians.Posted by: Delftsman3 at 10:00 PM | Comments (4) | Add Comment | Trackbacks (Suck)
Liberalism in Academia
Here IS a MUST READ for those that stil believe that College campi are a bastion of free thought and debate.
Here is just a taste: "The long term perspective of this is rather disturbing. In issue after issue, the liberal college professor is very critical of America and the values that it stands for. I have heard American college professors tell me – or students – that we cannot say whether our way of government is better than what they had in, e.g., Iraq under Saddam Hussein. This goes hand-in-hand with the Euro-phoria that many campus liberals are caught up in: American government, American way of life, is liable to all sorts of criticism, while much of the rest of the world gets a free pass." This Liberal indoctrination of our best and brightest bodes ill for our country in the coming years; we can only trust that these young people will come to see the fallacies presented to them by these ultra Libs as what they are, FALLACIES, and rebel against the Academic Liberal Orthodoxy in the end.Posted by: Delftsman3 at 09:10 PM | Comments (6) | Add Comment | Trackbacks (Suck)
Lame Stream Media....
Hugh Hewitt has a good piece demonstrating the MSM's ignorance of the internal workings of the Roman Catholic Church. They seem to look on the Church as a social welfare organization that is beholding to the vagries of an everchanging social morality du jour. His Holiness was not as conservative as the media would have you believe, he just held the ground for the core values of the Church in the face of those that would bend the Church to the fluidic morality of the situational ethicists and Humanists. I did not always agree with His Holiness on some issues, but on the core issues, I believe He was correct.
In some ways, I am more conservative than He was, I still believe that switching to the Vulgar Mass was a mistake, but that is just a matter of form, not a core value. I disagreed with Him on birth control, but I could see his reasoning, and believed He had a valid point, just that the exingencies of modern life required a bending of orthodoxy in that case. On abortion He was correct. On the sex scandals that plauged the American Church, he was remiss...although I believe that by that time, he was not in the best of health and not totally in "the loop" of what was actually occurring. People forget that, in many ways, the Papacy is a golden cage, many decisions are carried out on levels below the Pope without his being aware of the totality of the situation, He was still remiss, as it is his responsibility in the end, but I am willing to allow him the benefit of the doubt unless and untill I can ascertain just how involved he really was in the cover-up. John Paul ll was a prolific writer, and it will be decades before the extant of his knowledge will truly be plumbed for it's wisdom. The fact is that he was a practical man that still managed to keep his spiritual core intact and strong, it will be a long time untill we have the privalege of seeing his like again."A flame rescued from dry wood has no weight in it's luminous flight yet lifts the heavy lid of night".

Humor is the Best Medicine
I'm sick and tired of everything serious and mournful, so I'm just going to post some humor for the rest of the day. No more about Terri Schiavo or Pope John Paul ll, god rest both of their souls. No more about Michael Schiavo, may he suffer as did his wife.
Some humor, maybe a little warped by some people's standards, but I thought they were funny anyway, and since this is MY Citidal, if you don't like these little tidbits, too bad, so sad for you. Besides, I have to clear some of these out of my inboxPosted by: Delftsman3 at 03:38 AM | Comments (8) | Add Comment | Trackbacks (Suck)
The Mammogram
I actually kept my mammogram appointment. I was met with, "Hi! I'm
Belinda!" This perky clipboard carrier smiled from ear to ear,
tilted her head to one side and crooned, "All I need you to do is step
into this room right hereee, strip to the waist, thennnn slip on this
gown. Everything clearrrr?"
a perfectly healthy cup size of 36-B to a size 38-LONG in less than
60 seconds. Also, girls aren't made of sugar and spice and everything
nice....it's Spandex. We can be stretched, pulled and twisted over
a cold 4-inch piece of square glass and still pop back into shape. With the right side finished, Belinda flipped me (literally) to the
left and said, "Hmmmm. Can you stand on your tippy toes and lean in
a tad so we can get everything?" Fine, I answered. I was freezing, bruised, and out of air, so why
not use the remaining circulation in my legs and neck and finish me
off? My body was in a holding pattern that defied gravity (with my other
boob wedged between those two 4" pieces of square glass) when we
heard, then felt a zap! Complete darkness and the power went off!
"What?" I yelled. "Oh, maintenance is working. Bet they hit a snag." Belinda headed
for the door. "Excuse me! You're not leaving me in this vise alone, are you?" I
shouted. Belinda kept going and said, "Oh, you fussy puppy ... the door's
wide open so you'll have the emergency hall lights. I'll be righttttt
backkkk." Before I could shout "NOOOO!" she disappeared. And that's exactly
how Bubba and Earl, maintenance men extraordinaire, found me,
half-naked and part of me dangling from the Jaws of Life and the other part
smashed between glass! After exchanging polite "Hi, how's it going"
type greetings, Bubba (or possibly Earl) asked, to my utter disbelief, if I knew the power was off. Trying to disguise my hysteria, I replied with as much calmness as
possible. "Uh, yes, yes I did thanks." "You bet, take care" Bubba replied and waved good-bye as though I'd
been standing in the line at the grocery store. Two hours later, Belinda breezes in wearing a sheepish grin and
making no attempt to suppress her amusement, she said.
"Oh I am soooo sorry! The power came back on and I totally forgot
about you! And silly me, I went to lunch. Are we upset?" And that, Your Honor, is exactly how her head ended up between the
clamps........

A Better Way
Two married buddies are out drinking one night when one turns to the
other and says, "You know, I don't know what to do.
yells at me for staying out so late!" His buddy looks at him and says, "Well, you're obviously taking the
wrong approach. I screech into the driveway, slam the door, storm up the
steps,throw my shoes in the closet, jump into bed, slap her on the ass and
shout,WHO'S HORNY!?!" and she acts like she is asleep every time.

Blonde
A blind man enters a lesbian bar by mistake. He finds his way to a bar
stool and orders a drink.
wanna hear a blonde joke?" The bar immediately falls absolutely quiet. In a very deep, husky
voice,the woman next to him says, "Before you tell that joke, sir, I think
it's fair - given that you are blind - that you know five things: #1 - The bartender is a blonde girl. #2 - The bouncer is a blonde girl. #3 - I'm a 6 feet tall, 220 lb. blonde woman with a black belt in karate. #4 - The woman sitting next to me is blonde and is a professional
weight lifter. #5 - The lady to your right is a blonde and is a professional wrestler. Now think about it seriously, Mister. Do you still wanna tell that joke?" The blind man thinks for a second, shakes his head, and declares, "Nah, not if I'm gonna have to explain it five times."

"Thud"
A truck driver amused himself by running over lawyers as they
walked down the side of the road. Every time he saw a lawyer walking along the road, he would swerve to hit him. There would be a loud "thud", and then
he would swerve back on the road.
hiking,he pulled over and asked the priest, "Where are you going, Father?" The priest said he was on his way to his church up the road. "I'll give you a lift." The priest climbed into the passenger seat and the truck driver
continued down the road. Suddenly, the truck driver saw a lawyer walking down
the road and instinctively swerved to hit him. At the last minute, he
remembered he had a priest in the truck and swerved back onto the road.
Even though he knew he missed the lawyer, he still heard a loud
"thud." Unsure of where the noise came from, he glanced in his mirrors.
When he didn't see anything, he turned to the priest and said, "I'm sorry,
Father. I almost hit a lawyer." The priest replied, "That's OK, I got him with the door."

Good Medicine
There's a student in medical school who wants to specialize in
sexual disorders, so he makes arrangements to visit the sexual disorder clinic.
facility, when the student sees a patient masturbating right there in the hallway. "What condition does he have?" the student asks. "He suffers from Seminal Buildup Disorder," the doctor replies. "If
he doesn't obtain sexual release forty to fifty times a day, he'll
pass into a coma." The student takes some notes on that, and they continue down the
hall. As they turn the corner, he sees another patient with his pants around
his ankles, receiving oral sex from a beautiful nurse. "What about him?" the student asks. "What's his story?" "Oh, it's the same condition," the doctor replies. "He just has a
better health plan."

Her Day in Court...
Defense Attorney: What is your age?
Little old Woman: I am 86 years old. Defense Attorney: Will you tell us, in your own words, what happenedto you on April 1 this year? Little old Woman: There I was, sitting there in my swing on my porch
on a warm Spring evening, when a young man comes creeping up on the
porch and sat down beside me. Defense Attorney: Did you know him? Little old Woman: No, but he sure was friendly. Defense Attorney: What happened after he sat down? Little old Woman: He started to rub my thigh. Defense Attorney: Did you stop him? Little old Woman: No, I didn't stop him. Defense Attorney: Why not? Little old Woman: It felt good. Nobody had done that since my Abner
passed away some 30 years ago. Defense Attorney: What happened next? Little old Woman: He began to rub my breasts. Defense Attorney: Did you stop him then? Little old Woman: No, I did not stop him. Defense Attorney: Why not? Little old Woman: Why, Your Honor, his rubbing made me feel all alive
and excited. I haven't felt that good in years! Defense Attorney: What happened next? Little old Woman: Well, I was feeling so spicy that I just laid down
and said to him, "Take me, young man, Take me!" Defense! A ttorney: Did he take you? Little old Woman: Hell, no. He just yelled, "April Fool!" And that's
when I shot the little bastard!
