Fla. Blogfest...memories
Here's a few more pics of the goings on in Florida...DAMN I miss that state!
Staci in all her glory
Had a crasher; he had heard the G.L.O.R.'s would be there...
He found out that Lying Liberals aren't tolerated by G.LO.R.'s.
Here's Staci, the Lady Heather, Stella, and Dea plotting the downfall of civilization as we men know it.
Of Course Neil has the proper response: BRING IT ON!

Darwinism in Education
Some students at the
University of Maryland are
required to take a difficult
class in physics.
a particularly complicated
concept. A student rudely
interrupted to ask, "Why do we
have to learn this stuff?"
"To save lives," the
professor responded quickly
and continued the lecture.
A few minutes later, the same
student spoke up again. "So
how does physics save lives?"
he persisted.
"It prevents idiots like you
from graduating as civil
engineers and building
things," replied the professor.

Thank YOU WT!
While perusing my e-mail the other day I came upon a very heartening letter from one of my favorite bloggers.
It seems that she had noticed that I had "borrowed" her little teddy bear sign for acknowledgement of sources. She could have been justifiably angry and demand that I cease and desist from stealing her art, but she didn't. In fact, she redesigned it to fit in better with my site's background color. If THAT isn't a sign of true class, I don't know what is. It's only right that I use it for the first time in acknowledgement of her generosity;THANK YOU, WILD THING

Rant Class 101
If you ever want to learn how to write a really great rant, read this example by Sir Bangor, Paladin of the Rott. Empire.
I wholeheartedly concur with his opinion of the "ROP" and what it's true nature actually is. You giving lessons in constructing a rant anytime soon, Sir Bangor? I'd be the first to sign up for that course!Posted by: Delftsman3 at 02:28 PM | Comments (4) | Add Comment | Trackbacks (Suck)

Statistics of note
Doctors:
A) The number of doctors in the US is 700,000 B) Accidental deaths caused by physicians per year are 120,000 C) Accidental deaths per physician is 17.14% Statistics courtesy of the US Dept. of Health & Human Services ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Guns: A) The number of gun owners in the US is 80,000,000(yes that's 80 million!) B) The number of accidental gun deaths per year,
all age groups is 1,500. C) The number of accidental deaths per gun owner is 0.001875% Statistics courtesy of the FBI ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- So statistically, doctors are approximately 9,000 times more dangerous than gun owners. Remember, guns don't kill people, doctors do.
FACT: NOT EVERYONE HAS A GUN, BUT ALMOST EVERYONE HAS A DOCTOR.
Please alert your friends to this alarming threat. We should ban doctors before this gets completely out of hand! Out of concern for the public at large, I have withheld statistics on lawyers for fear the shock would cause people to panic and seek medical attention.

LSM: This is what you miss: True Heroes
I've written before about how our LSM has really seemed to be an arm of propaganda for the enemy in Iraq. They are quick to show body bags of our troops, and bemoan civilian causelties...but when was the last time you've heard of anything that shows the true heroism our guys display?
Bob Lonsberryhas written a great summery of just one such HERO, and it's been put on the WWW by Mary Jones on it's own page. Put it in your favorites, and whenever you get depressed by the seemingly endless reporting of "quagmire" and "failure", go bact to it and know that that is not the real story.Posted by: Delftsman3 at 10:31 PM | Comments (4) | Add Comment | Trackbacks (Suck)
Two Women, Two Paths
Posts like THIS ONE are the reason Baldilocks is a daily read for me.
She exquisitly compares and contrasts the paths that two women take under the same general conditions, and does it in such a manner that it cuts to the bone with no hyperboly needed. Wish she could teach me to write like that...Posted by: Delftsman3 at 06:28 PM | Comments (4) | Add Comment | Trackbacks (Suck)
PAAR-TaY!
I went to a really wild party last night, and now I can cross off one of the "things to do before I die" list. I bought a slave.
Before you get the wrong idea, it was a charity slave auction to help raise some funds for the Damien Center, a local information clearing house/support center for those afflicted with AIDS and some other socially unacceptable diseases. The Damien Cemter was most helpful in providing information on treatment options and support to my brother when he was first diagosed over 20 years ago, and I was glad to have an opportunity to be able to give back to them just a little for that. Slave K was most delightful, she made sure I didn't run too low on my adult beverage of choice and was quite delicious to peruse as we talked as well.I did feel something of an idiot , it's strange to meet someone in such a circumstance as that, and being new to the public scene, didn't really know the rules and boundries, but I had a great experience nonetheless. I think that "White Chocolate" would have been quite at home with this group. I had a vision of her leading her slave around on his knees with her leash, using a quirt when he wasn't quite fast enough to go get her a fresh top-off of her Rum. I was content to just sit and talk with K. Those fishnet stockings....WHEW! I gave K my cell number, hopes she calls sometime, in the hopes of exploring some things a little furthur..; if not, the money went for a great cause, and I'm content with the time we had. Can't wait for the next party.

State of the Union
Kiril of Sneakeasy's Joint made his own State of the Union speech, and I think it's probably better than what President Bush will deliver...
If he ever threw his hat in the ring, I think I'd see if he needed any campaign help. He sure has the right ideas, in my view.Posted by: Delftsman3 at 03:48 AM | Comments (5) | Add Comment | Trackbacks (Suck)

The Statue
A woman was in bed with her lover when she heard her husband opening the
front door.
over him and then she dusted him with talcum powder. "Don't move until I
tell you to," she whispered. "Just pretend you're a statue." "What's this honey?" the husband inquired as he entered the room. "Oh, its just a statue," she replied nonchalantly. "The Smiths bought one
for their bedroom. I liked it so much, I got one for us too." No more was said about the statue, not even later that night when they
went to sleep. Around 2 a.m., the husband got out of bed, went to the kitchen and
returned a while later with a sandwich and a glass of milk. "Here," he said to the
statue, "Eat something. I stood at the Smith's for three days like an
idiot and nobody offered me so much as a glass of water."

Court
Had my court date today....It came out better than I'd hoped, but still leaves me a problem.
Entered a plea agreement that left me with a $100 civil fine and $106 in court costs. That part is good. With another "compliance to the agreement" hearing set for Feb. 28. The bad part is that it also puts me under a permament injunction not allowing me to "store inoperable vehicles and/or car parts on my property outside a permament structure" The problem lies in their definition of "inoperable vehicle". The inspector apparently had been around this morning, and believe it or not, the car that I have fixed up enough for short to the corner and back trips had a flat tire,(has a slow leak, and I haven't been here the last 4 days to keep it aired) and that made it an "inoperable vehicle"....the other car (which is actually the best running of the lot) he couldn't check out because my dog prevented him from entering past my (6') privacy fence. THEIR definition of an "inoperable vehicle" is that you must be able to "legally drive it on the street without getting a ticket" HMMMmmm... as an exLeo I can tell you that there is NO vehicle being driven that can't be cited for SOMETHING, should you be willing to take the time to really inspect it with a fine tooth comb and have a good city ordinance reference book handy. Now I wouldn't want to try to drive the Chrysler on the street in it's present condition, even though it would make it anywhere in the country mechanically, it's just not too smart with the left side bashed in and the rear lights messed up the way they are. It's going to take at least $2000 to get it back to full safe condition, and I won't have that untill such time as the SS Administration sees fit to release my back pay check. It sounds like I'm being overly possesive of what is, after all, just an old car....but I have a great affinity for this vehicle; it was the last car my ex father in law bought before his death; it's my last tie to a man that I truly loved and respected. That car took Mamamontezz and I to the Texas Blogfest in great comfort, safety and speed three days after I took possesion of it. This leaves me in a quandry...I have too much stuff in the garage that I have no other place for to put it in there, and I tried to go the sell to the knacker route and the best offer I got was $25.; which he'll part out and get at least $1000 for the engine alone, which rankles my soul; and now, BECAUSE I was trying to become compliant and get a current plate, I can't even do that because I now have to wait for the new title to arrive before I can sell it. So I have 28 days to fix the situation, or be found in contempt of court, but am caught in a set of interlocking catch-22's that will make it difficult to comply with the order. Isn't city government wonderful? I'd like to know just HOW I'm causing any sort of hazard and/or eyesore by having a running yet not quite street legal car awaiting repair, parked on concrete in my back yard behind a 6' wooden privacy fence. This is going to get interesting....bureoucracy vs a stubborn Dutchman trying to use his private property in a manner they don't like. I know I can't win fighting, but it seems that my options are limited as well. We'll just have to see how it turns out...Posted by: Delftsman3 at 03:13 PM | Comments (9) | Add Comment | Trackbacks (Suck)
SMARTS
An old man in Florida had owned a large farm for
several years. He had a large pond in the back, fixed up nice: picnic tables, horseshoe pits, a volleyball court, and some apple and peach trees.The pond was properly shaped and fixed up for swimming. One evening the old farmer decided to go down to the pond and look it over, as he hadn't been there for a while. He grabbed a five gallon bucket to bring back some fruit. As he neared the pond, he heard voices shouting and laughing with glee. As he came closer he saw it was a bunch of young women skinny-dipping in his pond. He made the women aware of his presence and they all went to the deep end. One of the women shouted to him, "We're not coming out until you leave!" The old man frowned, "I didn't come down here to watch you ladies swim naked or make you get out of the pond naked." Holding the bucket up he said, "I'm here to feed the alligator." Old men can still think fast.

Back home a-gaaain in Ind i ana
Just got back home to the Citidal, had a great flight back, though we did hit a few patches of clear air turbulance that kept it interesting. Managed to find some good souveniers for the home crowd.
I'm really missing Florida...even though I know I really only experienced the best of the state. The whole weekend was really a dream...great people, good booze in COPIUS amounts
, good weather;and just a perfect all around experience .
I want to thank Neil and Dea again for putting up with me, as well as putting me up.; BTW, Neil, I left my cigarette case in your truck, any chance I can get you to send it to me, or do you want me to just wait for the next Florida Blogfest?

SW RottFest-Tampa, Day 2
Saturday of the blog fest...WHAT a party! Got to meet GuyK and his Sweetthing this afternoon, and it was a pure delight. I think he may be sorry for making that offer to come down to his place for a sea fishing trip...Now I've spent such quality time time here, I'm really jonesing for Florida, I'll take any excuse to come back.
The party started getting going around 7 PM, and it was the usual Rott Fest thing; copius mounts of alcohol, HOT women, political BS'ing, and this time, Neil V's band was providing the entertainment with hot licks and cool beats. I was still sparring with the gorgeous Stella, and hoping I survived her aptitude in administering PAIN...She gave up early with the excuse of an 8 AM flight back to N.O....gonna miss that gal! I'll have some more pics to post as soon as I get home Sunday night, with hopefully more to follow, if Stella remembers to send the to me. BC was a real trip this evening, he was in an annual parade this afternoon, where it seems that the participants indulge ina NO style event of distributing beads and downing Jello shots throughout the parade route...He was already well ahead of us in the Adult Beverage Consumption department when he arrived at Castle Van Eerde, but we soon caught up to him.
Staci was leading the Florida Gang in live blogging the festivities to the rest of the Empire...with frequent breaks to display her own SPECTACULAR dancing talents, moving to the rythems of Neil's band....Glad I was too wasted to even attempt to try to match her, I would have made a complete fool of myself had I even tried. It was a pure sensious delight just to observe her moves on the sandy patch of ground fronting the band....let's just sayI'm gonna dream well again tonight and I sincerely hope she isn't telepathic!
Gona go back to some serious drinking and politcal bitching now...seems BC has pulled ahead of me again, and I have the Hoosier honor to uphold!
I may have a chance to post again before my flight leaves, but if not, I'll try to put SOMETHING up when I get back home to the Citidal.

TAMPA
Got here to Casa Nan Eerdd at about 7 pm last night...WHAT a GREAT host!
we bought some Adult refresments that we bought for the party when the whole group gets here...well, we HAD refreshments, guess we have to make another runt to the licqor store... Picked up Stella from the airport this afternoon....I'm in TROUBLE...a Dutchman in the company of a GORGEOUS woman spitfire...I have the feeling that I'm going to get whacked upside the head before the evening is out... Here's a picture of Dea, me, and a possible dinner:
And here is Stella, Dea, and me...and a decidedly nervous future entre..
I'll try to keep updateing between six packs and dodging Stella's rightous forays into physical violence..
Update...the party has started, Heather,Stella ans Lady Heather have arrived, as has the pizza WHOOHOO!
Wanna see how lucky Neil and I are? Here'sLady H(front). Staci, Dea, and Stella:
Here's Lady H having her first experience with Courviosier:
Stella and the Lady H starting their foray into adult beverages:
alt="Image hosting by Photobucket">
Here I am in a sea of G.L.O.R.'s ...and maybe dinner tomorrow, any wonder I got a shit eating grin?!?:
Here's Staci showing us some perverted photoshops:
So far i've been able to keep out of Stella's reach, but I'm losing energy fast, and sooner or later she's gonna knock me out..at least it will be a well deserved assskicking Well, BC has arrived, so the party is officially started! Maybe I'll update a little later, IF I can stay sober enough to type!
BC is getting a little pervy with dinner:
Mama, Stella wasn't fast enough with the camera, but BC wanted more nookie from the chicken, apparently I wasn't "Brokeback" enough for him. Neil has locked the two hound dogs away, for their protection.
It seems that Staci wants to get in on the action...:
Two pervs, having a blast:
Furthur updates as possible

Light (or NO) Posting until Monday
It's 5:20 in the morning on Thursday, and in a little over nine hours, I'll be taking off from Indpls. International, on my way to three glorious days in the Florida sunshine in the company of a bunch of fellow reprobate LC's of the Rott Empire. I doubt very much that I'll have much access to a computor until I get back on Sunday night; my lap top is on the fritz again, so I'm not even going to try to lug it with me.
I still have to go to the license branch before my flight tomorrow to take care of a little business that I'll need to have ready for when I go to court Monday afternoon, so I'll only get a couple hours sleep;but I figure I can get a good nap on the plane down to Tampa. Please visit the fine blogs on my blogroll, and let them know who sent ya there! Have a marvelous weekend and I'll see you all on Monday, if I can't get a post in before then, and if they don't decide to hold me during the hearing...Posted by: Delftsman3 at 05:31 AM | Comments (5) | Add Comment | Trackbacks (Suck)
