It Couldn't Happen To a Crazier Asshat

Thank God the American public has some semblance of a clue regarding this nutjob. I have no plans to see Reality Impossible III, but I can only guess how horrific it is. The only sequel less interesting is my book would be Pearl Harbor 2. Hell, I think I'd rather see an Affleck movie right now, at least he knows how to have a good time without a copy of Dionetics in his pocket and it's unlikely that hackhole Tim Robbins would be a co-star.

Note to Meyer, Bruckheimer, and Grey: I am specifically not going to see this movie because Thomas Cruise Mapother IV is in the film. Either you're looking for your next "audit" for free, or you simply can't let a former box-office star go (aren't you still checking Stallone for tread life?). And guess what, if on the outside chance and by God's design I do come back in another life I'm still not going to watch any of Tom Mapother's shitty films.

War of the Worlds was the last piece of crap I suffered through. Interestingly, I'm surprised the church let him make that film. It must be okay to kill martians because they don't have thatens.

Great quote on thatens from Hubbard himself:
"From some experiments conducted about fifteen or twenty years ago--a thetan weighed about 1.5 ounces! Who made these experiments? Well, a doctor made these experiments. He weighed people before and after death, retaining any mass. He weighed the person, bed and all, and he found that the weight dropped at the moment of death about 1.5 ounces and some of them 2 ounces. (Those were heavy thetans.)"
Hubbard, The Phoenix Lectures, p. 147. Bridge Publications, 1982 ISBN 08840040062

Note to Reader: If you didn't get some of the Scientology references in here, check out Wiki, it's got a lot of info on the church.

Oh and Mapother:

Only in America, and Only in the South

Can someone from the South please explain this to me? Explain how you celebrate getting your ass kicked. Now before you all go Hillary on me, let me state that anyone who fights (and potentially dies) for what he believes in should be commended. That being said, we're talking about formal state holidays where paid state employees get the day off. What the hell is next, Bay of Pigs Day?

Hell, most people don't respect the federal holiday's we have like the 4th of July and Memorial Day. They're simply days people don't have to go to work. Taking a day off isn't going to help people "never forget their sacrifices". Hell, if we started taking days off for every group of people who've made sacrifices we end up working less than the French.

Hey southerners, suck it up, remember your ancestors on your own dime, and get back to work.

Good Use of Your Community Association Funds

Generally I'm a fan of vigilantism, and this is no exception. I have to hand it to the wealthy blokes, they got their point across. Although I wouldn't have sent bullets. I'd have sent some video tapes of him in prison playing catcher with a reminder that you don't need to be behind bars to be someones bitch.

It's interesting that the public views sex offenders in a different light than other violent criminals when it comes to residency. Do people really think, "Hey, this murdered moved in next door, but I don't know the details of the case so maybe he's okay." Or is it a group think, that while other violent offenders can be reformed sexual offenders are lifers and they will do it again. Interesting topic for discussion around the next campfire. I say ship 'em all off to a desert island.

And what's with paying out a state sponsored lottery to a convicted felon? Holy crap, nothing like giving a guy, who would normally have to bust his ass to make ends meat, all the time in the world to think up and execute new and inventive ways to violate others.

I can only hope there were enough funds in the Darras Hall Homeowners
Association fund to "do" this guy the right way.

Those crazy customers...

There's the old adage, "The custom is always right." I couldn't agree more, unless the customer has opened their mouth, then all bets are off. Look, there are a lot, and I mean a lot, of stupid people in the world. Guess what, most of them are someone's customer. You do the math.

Here's a great example of someone telling the "customer" the truth...and apparently, it hurt.

My new adage, "Customers are stupid lemmings....with money." It always helps to keep me focused.
