Funny Names?

Going through some old pictures of mine, wondering why I took some of them, when I stumbled across this one.





Took this when we were up in St. George for the Warren Jeffs trial. I'd say I have the mind of a 12 year old, but I think that would be an insult to a lot of 12 year olds.

Defending The Homeland...

CNN is reporting...

National Guard Deployed to Battle Storm in Texas. See, this is why we need to send our troops to the Bahamas. Fight these storms over there so we don't have to fight them over here.

All political snarkieness aside, I did indeed find the wording of CNN's headline hilarious, and it spurred a comical Photoshop!


"Right in the eye, muthafucka!"

Filipino Jails Ain't So Bad...

The Filipinos embrace prison overcrowding. We Americans could learn something.

They Ain't All Murder Victims...

From one of the ambulance company's main dispatch channel around 3:00AM...

Dispatcher: 850; Take a code three in 2617. Man down behind the business in a sleeping bag, unknown reason. Responding with Rescue XX and METRO.
Ambulance Crew: Seems like the sleeping bad would take care of that unknown reason issue...
Dispatcher: ...

Who says paramedics don't have a sense of humor.

A Song About Ewink...

Tales of a Red Curb...

So I'm sitting at the station, waiting for lunchtime to roll around while trolling the 15 internet sites not blocked by the corporate web filter when I hear a train versus a pedestrian go out in North Las Vegas.

"Holy Christ on a pogo stick!" I shout to the no one else in the building. I bolt out the door and tear out of the parking lot only to hear the officer on scene say "The victim just came up to us and said the train didn't hit him. The engineer is pretty sure he did, but the victim swears that he didn't, so I'll be clear."

After wondering why the train guy would dispute whether or not he hit the guy after the guy walked up without a scratch on him, I returned to the station and took my parking spot along the side of the building; which has a red curb.

Now, the station has been angry about photogs parking there lately. During the day, if all the photogs are at the station, there aren't enough parking spots along the fences for the live trucks and the Mountaineers. I park there at night because I'm lazy and there is no one else there to bitch at me. But during the day, with the Mountaineers parked there the live trucks (which have the turning radius of a small oil tanker) are unable to back out. So the powers that be issued a decree that no one is allowed to park there anymore.

To further amplify this decree the curb was painted red (although it might have always been painted red. I really don't pay any attention) and a no parking sign was attached to the side of the building.

Why is this worth mentioning?

Because the no parking sign looks like this:


Don't get it?

The cars that will be towed are owned by the station. So if the station tows a car at owners expense, then the station will have to pay to have the car recovered.

Erin pauses...

Well, I thought it was funny, and as tragically slow (or wonderfully slow, depending on if you are looking at it from my point of view or from the people who are still alive's point of view) as it's been, this is the best you're going to get.
