I'm still here.

So, anyways.

The WI House failed to override Gov. Doyle's veto.

By two votes.

Damned fools, they are. I'm waiting to see how the rep for my district voted. If he voted like I think he did, he's in for a nastygram. We'll see.

On the bright side, I'm thinkin I'll be buying a gun of some sort with my WI tax refund this year. Screw you, Commissar Governor Doyle.


I'm thinking a nice Glock should fill the bill.

I'm a Corvette, baby!

I'm a Chevrolet Corvette!

You're a classic - powerful, athletic, and competitive. You're all about winning the race and getting the job done. While you have a practical everyday side, you get wild when anyone pushes your pedal. You hate to lose, but you hardly ever do.

Take the Which Sports Car Are You? quiz.

And now, for something different.

From the website of a local TV station:

"More details continue to come out surrounding the death of a Superior woman this weekend, that police are calling a possible homicide.

Police say the suspect in custody lived at the home where he was arrested, which was just across the street from where the victim was found on Saturday.
Officers say the woman had what appeared to be stab wounds when they found her. "

This happened a block away from Stately PartsGuy Manor. Imagine my surprise, walking out to the PartsMobile to grab something, turning around, and seeing yellow tape and cop cars all over the place.

Usually, the area around Stately PartsGuy Manor is fairly quiet, which I like.

Now, there's all sorts of looky-loos rolling by. Sad.
(sarcasm mode= ON)
You know, I'm sure glad that Governor Doyle vetoed the Personal Protection Act. If he hadn't, that poor lady might have been legally carrying a concealed weapon, and would have been able to defend herself against the asshole who killed her. Who knows, she might have killed the bastard outright, and saved the State a ton of money trying the bastard. Can't have that.
(sarcasm mode= OFF)

Thanks, Governor, for making the streets of Wisconsin just a little more safe for rapists, murderers, and other scumbags, while making law-abiding citizens live in fear. As far as I'm concerned, the blood of many innocent people is on your hands. I wonder how you sleep at night knowing YOU are the one who denied the people of WI the tools needed to keep themselves safe. I'll be sure to remember that come your re-election campaign, and I'll be sure to remind people too.

It is my deepest desire that your actions will come back to haunt you come Election Day. I can't wait to see your concession speech. I promise not to laugh myself sick.

BTW, I plan to spend some of my WI tax refund next year to buy myself a nice gun or two. I'll probably send you a picture.

OK, so I forgot something.

I forgot to mention the one thing I did get for Xmas that wasn't clothes.

The Non-Evil Ex-Girlfriend(NEEG for short), brought me a cool lil diecast car back from Greece.


Kewl.

WTF is with people lately?

Right off the bat, I'll admit I'm in a cranky mood. Having someone you THOUGHT was a friend not even take the 3 seconds to acknowledge your presence kinda pisses a guy off.

Anyway, you'd think I'd know better than to go to the grocery store at 4 pm.

I'm sitting in the PartsMobile, waiting for a parking space to open. As I'm sitting there, This lady finishes unloading her stuff from the cart to the car, shuts the door, then shoves the cart towards the cart corral.

You must understand, the corral was 25 feet away, and MUCH too far to walk.

She shoves the cart towards the corral, and the damn thing doesn't get anywhere NEAR to the corral, but instead smacks into the bumper of an older Buick.

Now, you and I both know had the situation been reversed, and someone shoved a shopping cart into HER car, all hell woulda broken loose. So, I rolled up to her and asked her if she was aware the cart she'd just carelessly shoved off had hit someone else's car.

Her response: " It wasn't me, I don't know what you're talking about!"
My response: " I just watched you do it!"
Her response: " It must have been someone else. It wasn't me!"

Unfreakinreal. So, I get the PartsMobile parked, and head in to grab some stuff to whomp up burritos. Burritos= GOOD.

So, I'm walking through in a pretty good mood now, 'cause they had my favorite flavor of Jelly Belly in stock(W00t!), and I turn a corner and get held up by 3 people, who apparently are confused by all the great bargains to be had, and are standing around their shopping cart in the middle of the aisle. I got around the human roadblock, headed over to grab some tasty ground beef, cause you CAN'T have burritos without beef in 'em. It's just plain wrong.

Anyways, some lady decides she needs to block up the whole section, while the butcher and I are trying to get in, do our thing, and get on the road. Never once does this broad look around to see if she's blocking people.

One of the saddest things about society is, you're not allowed to kick these people. I'm thinkin' the PartsGuy's size 10 in their asses would convince them that getting the hell out of people's way is a good thing. Some people in my area are sadly lacking in manners and common sense. I don't want a gigantic hassle, I just want to get my stuff 'n go home, ya know?

On the good side, the PartsMobile now has a remote starter. Me likey. Also, I made a shopping trip to Barnes & Noble, which always brings me tons of happiness. Me likey.

Also, I got to mess with the receptionist at Great Clips today.

I walked in to get a trim, because your humble PartsGuy likes to look as good as a fat ugly bastard such as himself can look. Granted, that ain't sayin much.

So, she says " Can I help you? "

I say " Yes, I'm here to get my back hair waxed. "

The look on her face was WORTH it. The other people in the waiting area were just dying laughing.

The lady who cut my hair was really nice. I'm thinkin I'll prob get my hair cut there again.


Someday soon, I shall pick out another Fabbo Babe of the Week. Watch for it.
