The Fruit does not fall far from the tree

So there I was, having a nice chat with my son this afternoon. His little daughter is well, his wife is well. He is well. I am happy. God is good.

Eventually we got on the subject of politics. He recounted to me a conversation he was having with a co-worker about the Iraqi war with the upshot being that his co-worker was against the war and that we should pull our troops out. My son agreed. He said we should get the troops out right now.......then turn around and nuke the bejesus out of the place. Apparently appalled, his co-worker then said, "but it's the cradle of civilization!!!'

My son's retort? "cradle of civilization? Yeah, I guess. And it never got any further than the cradle, either!"

What a hoot! What a comedian!!

I immediately told him he just climbed ANOTHER notch higher in my "Damn! I'm proud of my son!" meter.

WOW!!!!

This is amazing stuff! Imagine working on your car and while you are doing it an image of the car repair manual is superimposed upon your eye as you work? Or you compose a picture on your digital camera and an image the size of a large screen TV is superimposed to allow you greater versatility at composition?

Yep! They are doing it right now with lasers. Check it out. I am excited about this kind of stuff. Very futuristic. Very Star Trek-y

Fact or fiction?

Is this site legit or bogus? I say bogus. For one: radio station KDRZ does not exist (at least I can not find it and many east of the Mississippi start with a W anyway. Also, a couple of sites are posting it as a hoax. Lastly, when one types in a complete web address name in google, the first site to pop up should be the one who's name you type. Not in this case.

But what a great concept!!

A Worthy Cause

I've decided to replace my 10mm Glock which I keep nestled under my mattress to discourage any Moonbats who decide to make my stuff their stuff in the middle of the night (if you know what I mean). I've never been happy with the feel of the Glock so I finally shopped around and asked a few police friends of mine for their opinion. A couple of cousins of mine (who happen to be state troopers) suggested the gun you see below. Shock and awe describes my reaction. My first words were "I gotta git me one of dem" (my Southern accent kicks in when I start thinking about hunting - cain't hep it - you can take the boy out of Alabama but you can't take Alabama out of the boy).

Boudreaux been fish'n down by de bayou all day an he done run outa night crawlers. He be bout reddy to leave when he seen a snake wit a big frog in his mouf. He knowed dat dem big bass fish like frogs, so he decided to steal dat froggie. Dat snake, he be a cotton moufed water moccasin so he had to be real careful or he'd get bit. He snuk up behine de snake and grabbed him roun de haid. Dat ole snake din't lak dat one bit. He squirmed and wrapped hisself roun Boudreaux's arm try'n to get hisself free. But Boudreaux, him, had a real good grip on his haid, yeh.

Well, Boudreaux pried his mouf open and got de frog and puts it in his bait can. Now, Boudreaux knows dat he cain't let go dat snake or his gonna bite him good, but he had a plan. He reach into de back pocket of his bib overhauls and pulls out a pint a moonshine likker. He pour some drops into de snakes mouf. Well, dat snake's eyeballs roll back in his haid and his body go limp. Wit dat Boudreaux toss dat snake into de bayou.

Den he goes back to fishin'. A while later Boudreaux dun feel sumpin tappin' on his barefoot toe. He slowly look down and dare dat water moccasin was wif two more frogs.

Happy Anniversary To Me!!

Yep! Today marks the 46th anniversary of my family's LEGAL immigration to the United States.

No finer country exists on the face of this earth and I often thank God for my ability to be able to live here and have had a son here.

I also thank my father for having the courage to pull up stakes at the age of 37, give up a great job, sell everything (not much as the house had no indoor plumbing, heat, etc.), drag a wife and two kids plus about 6 pieces of luggage to a country he knew not a word of the language. After one year we had a TV (unheard of back in the motherland), 3 years afterwards we owned our first car, 3 years after that our first house.

The American dream IS possible.

For all you dirtballs out there critical of this country, you are pathetically ignorant of the good fortune God bestowed on you. Please, do us all a favor and apply to emigrate to Kuwait or Djibouti or Ethiopia or some other paradise of your imagining. I'm sure Abdul and his buttboys would welcome you with open arms! Now, go on, get the hell out of here. There's an illegal alien waiting for your space in our economic letter and I'll take one of them over you any day.

For Men Only

What do you do if you have one million Euros ($1,088,000 US) to spare and you feel you don't have the best toys in the world? If you're a man, the answer has now just been made easier. If you're a woman, find the man who has this kind of money to toss around (and don't EVEN ask if you can "borrow the car to run to the shopping mall").

Male Drool Alert! Gentlemen, place your bibs aound your neck before taking a look at this new car from Bugatti.



Specifications:

Brute Force: 1,001 horsepower
Acceleration-1: 0 to 60 MPH in 3 seconds
Acceleration-2: 0 to 180 MPH in 14 seconds
Top Speed: 250 MPH
Engine: rear-mounted, W-16, 8.0 liter with FOUR separate turbochargers, roof-mount snorkels and side-mount air scoops
Transmission: computer controlled dual-clutch system (Like Formula 1 race cars)
Drive Train: full-time, all-wheel drive
Interior: full natural leather with minimal metal trim

Options: a one-carat diamond in the center of the speedometer and one in center of the "powermeter".

This reviewer's opinion:

DROOL

Update: yes, the engine is a "W-16". According to Bugatti, they manufactured it by combining two V-8 blocks in a "W" configuration, therefore 16 cylinders. I propose we name it the "W-Mobile" in honor of President George "W" Bush.

Revenge Is A Dish Best Served HOT!

Smart Chip

Intregated Circuit manufacturer Stretch has announced a new microprocessor that can configure itself on-the-fly. The chip can add or remove instruction sets as needed. The S5000 is the first microprocessor that can add new instructions while running. This is a radical breakthrough in microprocessor design, pushing us closer to artificial intelligence (AI) with direct improvements in performance that are monumental. The company claims the 300 MHz chip out-performs a standard 2 GHz processor.

Key Information: The chip combines an existing RISC (reduced instruction set computing) architecture with a large reconfigurable area of programmable logic called the Instruction Set Extension Fabric, ISEF. The company's own C/C++ compiler automatically spots areas in a program that require intensive computation and creates new instructions for the processor to handle those tasks.

In other words, when conditions change, the processor can change its mind and lend itself to the new tasks in a more efficient manner.

Isn't it a pity that Democrats and Liberals (I know - redundancy alert) can't do the same?

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
