Blech.  I just saw this Liberator (not to be confused with the diabetic marketed, and Wilfred Brimley’s Liberty Medical) medical supply commercial about the catheters.

“I was so tired of boiling and reusing catheters every time I had to cath”

Are you serious? This is an issue?  You can’t afford the tubes you need to stick in your pee hole?  You get infections from boiling them and reusing them?

The funny thing is, I see her squatting in the commercial playing with a cat.  If you can squat to play with a cat, there’s no reason you can’t pee normally.

Haha…get your mind out of the gutter.

So I’m sitting here blogging from my laptop because they decided at work that our cubicles need to be moved 10 inches because while OSHA requires 36 inches of walkway, we have 46, and that 10 inches could possibly go to another cubicle row.

Wow.

Why do people insist upon rendering niceties upon the unworthy, useless scraps of society?  I’m referring to bums.  Vagrants.  Hobos.  Indigents.  Street people.  Homeless.  Societus Derelictus.

So I’m on my way to the Subway across the street from my office.  I have a ragged, black bum walk up to me, getting in my way, and begging for money, in this raspy, barely coherent voice that just squeaks from years of persistent drug abuse.   I give him my usual “fuck off, you don’t need any more drugs” look and he walks away, probably swearing under his breath, who cares…useless people.

I go into the Subway and get in line.  In front of me is a couple of average looking people, and a nicely put together (read: well dressed, professional) black woman.  All of the sudden, this also, well put-together black man who is clearly with the aforementioned woman walks in with this bum with him.  He proceeds to buy this foul-smelling human trash a footlong sub (and when asked if the man paying wanted to make the bum’s order a meal, the bum interjected vehemently to the affirmative) and a drink, and walk outside and send the bum on his way.

So now you’re thinking, “Tom, you asshole,  have you no heart? No compassion for your fellow man?”  Let’s look at this situation logically:

1. A simple sandwich is not going to miraculously transform this wreck into a useful member of society.  In fact, buying him a sandwich only demonstrates to him, that like the liberals of this country, someone will always take care of him because he chooses not to do so himself.
2. By wasting my time and the time of everyone behind me with this crap, you hurt the economy.  You tied up several productive members of society from conducting business.  Furthermore because I had to write this blog instead of working.
3. If your conscience is so stained that you feel a need to help people like this, you should probably just give him money.  Yeah, he’ll probably buy drugs or alcohol with it, but these are things he’s already addicted to anyway.   The grab is, that he’ll probably mug, murder, or otherwise accost someone to get his drug money.  Maybe he’ll rape his victims for funsies too.  So congratulations, you self-aggrandizing prick, you have a potential rape/murder on your conscience now.
4. It’s really much easier just to push him into traffic in the middle of the night.  We all know people street race on the Tucson streets at night.  Do him (and us) a favor by removing his wretched existence.

Next time you want to help a bum…ask yourself who you’re hurting in the process, and just tell him to get a fuckin’ job like everyone else.

So the last few days have been rain-like-hell-days, so I took some pics of the “river” bedind my office. Click the thumbnails for larger versions.

These were from the 27th:

This one was from today when I got to work this morning:

so i found this on digg…warning, boobies ahead

READ THE TEXT BEFORE LOOKING AT THE PICTURES, otherwise, there’s no point. Porn meets optical science.

I somehow managed this in X-Plane and uploaded it to Google Video:

okay, now, this is gonna come off as me being a total asshole, but whatever. i am a total asshole. im not being mean, but sometimes i see something that is so utterly nuts i have to share it. anyway…

so i was having lunch at pei wei and (like every restaurant) there is a morbidly obese woman (read: fat to the point where you get imagery from jurassic park’s t-rex paddock) who had to weigh at least 400 lbs. at lunch with her was what i can only assume was her daughter, who, looking to be under 12 years old, was morbidly obese herself, though in lesser proportions. no suprises there, but i saddens me to think that some day she’ll, as her mother did, breed spawn that will be just as fat…but that belongs in another rant.

anyway, as she gets up to leave and her fly is open. yes, ppl…her zipper is down. now had this been some some fat dude i’d have just told him to close the downstairs curtains and this wouldnt have been interesting, but i just couldn’t find the right words to tell this woman to fix it, so i just let her go on her way. now where the topic comes in: she was wearing denim shorts that, because she (like many other ppl in fat denial) wears clothes that are too small, we’re gaped open revealing an extremely large pair of purple panties. if you’ve ever seen an anatomy book, remember the page with the woman on her back with the anatomy of the repro system detailed? that’s the mental image here…it was just *that* disgusting.

weird shit…
