LOL sovery that is a good one!

I have had a sad day.   A few days ago someone left a starving, almost hairless dog in our neighborhood so I had to feed it until I could get somewhere to take it.  Tried all the animal shelters and rescuers around,  they were all filled up.  Already having 3 dogs and 3 cats I could not take another one so finally had to take it to the vet and have her put to sleep.  My daughter went with me and she cried and so did I.  We stayed with her until it was all over, didn't want her to go to sleep without some loving arms around her.  Why do people have pets if they won't look after them.

Just hoping everything goes good tomorrow at the CNE Warriors Day march, my dad is now 87 and I worry about how tired he is becoming, I know he is winding down, because he tells me so.
I know he has livied a full life, but I can never amagine him not here with me.....one of my best friends and my hero for sure!
So tomorrow he is honered for what he did in WW2 & Korea, he is such a humble and loving man and I am so proud to be his daughter, I hope the weather is good and the sun shines down on them while they march!

I recently had a vignette I wrote published on a site for women middle-aged and older.  It was about something funny that happened to me a few years ago.  If you would like to read it you can find it at the site below under archives.

It is called Powered By Me.

Ooooo...that smarts. hahahaha-- touche Prairie.

Why’s everybody always pickin’ on me?  All I’m trying to do is defend myself from the vicious assaults of a maniacal Bruins Fan.

Boston 6, Washington 0----a very appealing stat, at least superficially.  Let’s examine the underlying data, shall we?  Boston won several of those Cups when the NHL had what, two teams?  Most important, Boston won most of those Cups BEFORE Washington joined the NHL.  Don’t you agree the fairest comparison would include Cups won only during the period when Washington was actually a member of the NHL?    By that measure, the score is BOSTON 1, WASHINGTON 0, hmmmm…………It’s simply a matter of time, Bruins Fan.  Put another way, it won’t be long until the Cup of Lord Stanley finds its rightful resting place, gunkholed in the Chesapeake Bay.

Not to worry about missing the chance to drop your gloves.  There will be ample future opportunities for the Prankster’s cup overflows with wry and pithy observations regarding your Beantown Ruins Bruins.   The only question is----when and where will the Prankster strike?

P.S.   Chara wears only "“My Little Pony"” underwear in his favorite color, neon pink.

P.P.S.  Jaromir Jagr?  Really?  Isn’t he a member of AARP?

Hmmmmm, can milquetoast Ovechkin do this?

http://youtu.be/JWqgizAD4FA
 
Oh, silly me, that might involve skating sideways and he has yet to master skating backwards.  Sorry. 

Awwww, Jagr may be old but he still has it (and he can skate backwards).

Backstrom wears spanx.

Ribeiro enjoys the feel of Leggs control top panty hose under his uniform (he borrowed them from your pal Ovechkin).

Sorry Cookie, no smiles from me today.  Once again, the unthinkable becomes fact, the unimaginable reality.  Once again families weep and bury a brother, a sister, a son, a daughter.  IN the coming days we will know the who and the why, politicians will make political hay, there are those who will scream that this blood debt be repaid in kind, with interest.  And we will surrender another pound of our freedom, perhaps our values, for more individual and collective security.  The frustrating thing for me is I don't know what to do about it.  Can't do nothing, can't do everything, just sort of muddle through.  On days like this, for me, to quote Karl Childers, "the world is too large."  I'm getting awfully sick, heartsick, of these days.

My Wizards have achieved a new mark of distinction.  They just completed their fifth straight season with less than 30 wins.  Believe me, that's not easy to do.  Management has promised changes.  The new team song will be an original score entitled "Lotto" and the new team mascot will be a giant numbered ping pong ball.

After reading the limericks about flatulence before going to bed :bedtime2: last night I had a strange dream.
I was a doing something with several people, moving from one to another.  With each new person I let out a silent but deadly flatulence and of course they knew it had to be me as I was the only one around them.  They made comments, faces, and one person even tried to swallow their fist.

The Prankster would like the females to weigh in on this one.

Mario Williams, the grossly overpaid, grossly under-performing defensive end for the Buffalo Bills (does the Prankster sound bitter?  You betcha!), got engaged in February of 2012.  He gave his fiancee a 10-carat, $785,000 diamond ring.  In January of 2013 the engagement was broken off (unclear regarding whose initiative).  The ex-fiancee has refused to return the ring and Williams is suing for its return.

Okay, ladies, who should get the ring and why?
Title: Re: Random Thoughts
Post by: Snowbird on May 11, 2013, 01:33:49 AM
She should get the ring since he gave it to her UNLESS she broke the engagement without good reason.  If he broke the engagement she should definitely get to keep it.

Cook is a real class act.  Poor babies were upset because they were OUTSKATED and OUTPLAYED on their own turf.  They thought they would glide in, all showy and stomp all over my B's.  Nice try boys.

I would love to see the Bruins take another in PA.  A shut out would be the icing on the cake. 

Sidney wears pink mules and a feather boa.

Ponytail, when you're sad the Prankster is a little sad too.  I hope everything is OK.

I was away at a funeral because my 92 year-old aunt passed away.  No condolences, please.  She lived a full, vigorous life until her last few years and, given her condition, her passing was a blessing.  The service was not a mournful one (although there were a few), but rather a celebration of her life and a remembrance of what her life meant to our family.

MP, we can still send condolences. No matter how old the person we lost is, it's still a sadness that we won't see them,this life. again.
I lost my aunt in March...she was 100 last Oct and lived a wonderful, full life...but,I still miss her every day 'cause she was the "Grandma-figure" my children grew up with.
Ponytail's grandson's loss is so much more hurting... because these were babies...really...just teens not yet living their lives.

I don’t often get political, but let’s review the bidding………domestic surveillance drones in the thousands going to the tens of thousands,  traffic monitoring/public area surveillance cameras multiplying like rabbits,  IRS targeting of certain groups and releasing confidential tax data,  Justice Dept. snooping into reporters’ phone calls, e-mails, etc., and NSA (a super secret agency whose existence the government wouldn’t even acknowledge until the 1980s) compiling CDRs (call detail records) on 100 million Americans and monitoring internet activities of ?whom?.    Are we far from PSAs urging us to monitor our neighbors’ activities in the name of security and patriotic?  Our society is beginning to remind me of one I once read about:

War is peace.
Freedom is slavery.
Ignorance is strength.

Big Brother is watching.

When a society gives up its freedom an inch at a time, after a while people tend to focus on the new inch or two they're giving up, not the yards they've already surrendered.

I agree with you MP.  It is beginning to frighten me.  I wonder how much freedom my grandchildren will have. 
The majority no longer rules in this country.  We have lost our freedom of speech because we cannot offend the minority.

I heard on the news the other day that beginning in January, people who smoke, have high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and are over weight would be paying up to 50% more on insurance.  I object to that because some of those things are inherited through families.  Some people who are over weight have reasons for being that way. 

Years ago people came to this country, studied, and took a test to become American citizens.  Now it seems they can sneak into the country illegally, get every kind of benefits, and be handed citizenship on a silver platter.

I'm reminded of something said in the 1930s by (I believe) a member of the American Communist Party:  "If you give starving people a choice between bread and freedom, which will they choose?"

In today's world the question might be:  "If you give people frightened for their safety a choice between security and liberty, which will they choose?"

I also ran across an interesting quote:  "We will bankrupt ourselves in the vain search for absolute security."  This was said by Dwight D. Eisenhower in the context of his warning regarding the "military-industrial" complex.  Look at what Al Qaeda has caused US government/society to become since 9/11.  Can anyone truly say the terrorists are losing?

I'll cease the polemic now.  This is not a political site.  I apologize if I have offended anyone.

I agree that we don't take the time often to ponder things- mostly because alot of it is beyond our control or "for our own good". We are made to believe that our government is doing what is best for the American People...in reality government is doing what is best for whom??? idk the answer to that???  We are watched, monitored and TOLD...yes I said TOLD what to do in every aspect of our lives. There is NO freedom of speech, NO freedom at all if you think about it. Oh, they may make us think that we do..its all a lie. Goverment is now in schools telling you if your child is overweight! A letter gets sent home after they weigh your child??? (When the heck did this start happening?!?) Even your french fries have to be cooked in what oil they say. (all for our own good mind you). They also have their noses in which medications have to contain less tylenol, because I guess there is a big epidemic of liver failure among tylenol users (which is an over the counter med). Oh, and in Massachusetts you are fined if you don't have health insurance- but more and more companies are hiring per diem people so they don't have to offer health coverage! And I have been reading about police taking DNA samples of people they have in custody- well heres a better one...I went to the doctor the other day and he takes out these swabs to check my DNA, because supposedly there is a new technique out now that will tell doctors (by your DNA) which meds will be most useful for you and which ones they think may not work on you specifically. Waiting to hear the results when I go back to him. IT WAS JUST CREEPY....although I did do it.  I just wonder if this is the government getting everyones DNA through "innocent" means, because I'm sure it will be stored in some data bank somewhere..then it will eventually lead to increased payments in insurance because they will be telling you that you are pre-disposed to diabetes, heart disease..etc. I think some of these "crazies" that believe the goverment has a secret agenda...aren't so crazy after all. Hurry up and delete this post...they may be watching!!!!  :-\

Nicely done, sherylk! As a Massachusetts resident I am disgusted by this whole "fine" idea (no pun intended).  It is time once again to renew my insurance and surprise, surprise my premium just jumped up another fifty dollars a month.  Higer premiums, higher deductibles, higher co-pays, less services.  I am wondering when it will stop, when I am working just to pay for insurance? I am a fee for service contractor and I do not get my insurance from my employer this does not leave me with a lot of choice when choosing a plan.  It is very frustrating.   :41:

The DNA test....spooky! Really makes you wonder.

Wait until January of next year.  Many of us will find our insurance increasing.  Certain physical conditions that are beyond our control will cause us to pay more for insurance. 

By the way, I am not against helping people who really need it.  But in my opinion we are becoming a nation of people who think they are entitled to whatever they desire.  We have taken away the initiative and desire to become independent, productive citizens.  People who are trying to start a small business are finding that with all the government mandates they can't make it.

Couldn't agree more and I'm from another country! I'm all for helping those who truly need it, but if your sitting on your butt simply because you don't want to work, then the rest of us shouldn't have to pay for you to do that. In Canada they will pay for someone on welfares college education but someone who works hard to attend school and has a few jobs to survive will get stuck with big huge bill at the end of it, but the welfare person gets off scott free.

Someone stole it and buried it with Jimmy Hoffa's body.
Vladimir Putin stole it because the color matched his Super Bowl ring.
Manti Te'o stole it for his girlfriend.

Finally, the Prankster came up with a brilliant idea............the NSA found it for him within minutes. :whoo:

Julie's The Talk show had a picture they took off some website. It was one he took looking downwards of his "weiner" at attention, and you could see his bare feet. It was absolutely disgusting and they blocked out the 'center of attention"... but, just thinking about him doing this and emailing this... is so gross!

Ironically,his wife is no dummy. She worked for Hillary Clinton in a pretty high profile job.
Maybe that's where she got her original "stand by your man"  Also---
I don't believe that she knew the extent of his shenanigans after he left Congress, and may have  believed that he was trying to get help...or really wanted to believe him. She was having his baby!!   However,
I don't think the marriage will last. He is a "total pig", as MP said.

Well, from the looks of the "personals' you are referring to, and we did see them at the start of this BB... this wouldn't be difficult, but a "small" task to accomplish!!
I think he's an exhibitionist, too.

Weiner's wife not only had a high profile job with Hillary, she is extremely close to Hillary.   The Prankster will probably receive heavy incoming for this but Hillary Clinton's marriage stands for the principle that a marriage can withstand anything if it further's the aggrieved spouse's political ambitions.  Slick Willie cheated on her for as many years as they were married----his own staff would not let him ride in the car alone with a female staffer during his Presidency.  Hillary knew about the trade-off she had made long before Willie's creative use of the cigar in the Oval Office. A lot of political marriages aren't about love--they're about mutual ambition.   How that political calculus plays out in the instant case remains to be seen.

 -Dancekick-  Thanks so much , ponytail for thinking about me when I was gone.... I wrote you a long post.
We had a wonderful time.
 
Only 'one' near bad thing happened. Scared us all to death.
Sunday night when we ate dinner, Liam who is 2 was asleep. He was pooped.
After dinner they have a long walking area with lights and shops and restaurants, etc in Cape May. We all went for a walk. We were going to get ice cream
The baby was hungry because he slept through dinner and they gave him some kind of a cookie that he has all the time here. Only thing... he put it in his mouth and it stuck to the roof of his mouth.
He panicked and started to choke.. It wasn't down his throat, but, he felt like he couldn't breathe. Wow.
Here we have my husband, a vol fireman, and son in law... same and he also knows cpr... all sort of helpless watching his Daddy try to help him. It was scary.
It took a while... with me , and my daughter in law and 2 granddaughters... welling with tears watching this little fella ....but.... things turned out ok... Thank the Lord.
I later said to my son..... hahaha This is only the beginning...Liam at 2 & with another baby on the way..  :72:

Well, of course I am happy anyway.boy or girl and don't want to guess. Liam would have fun with a little brother. But, I'd love for them to experience a little girl... a whole different route.
And, even though we will be finding out the gender, I doubt seriously if they will tell us the name.
I made a BiG mistake with her first pregnancy of saying I wasn't ecstatic  about the name Liam.
This was along the way... before we even knew what they were having.
I just thought my son would go for a more... general boy's name. OH OH... won't make this mistake again.
Her mom is Scottish.. and some of the names are ones I can't buy on decorations at Hallmark...if you know what I mean.
My daughter in laws name is Fern. Two cousins...Fiona and Shauna... so, I don't know what the name will be. And, you know what.. I don't care.
I happen to like Meagan....and you could call her Maggie.
LOL, I've been also pushing for the emergence of my own name.. and we could call her Barbie. -rollinglaugh-
But, honestly, I'm thinking... boy?
Title: Re: Random Thoughts
Post by: ponytail on August 25, 2013, 03:18:49 PM

Congratulations!  A little girl!    They are such fun to shop for and so much easier when they get older than boys are. 
I love the name Megan but calling her Maggie reminds me of my grandmother and great-aunt.  My grandmother's name was Martha Melissa and they called her Mattie!  Her sister was Sarah Elizabeth and they called her Sally!  With those beautiful names why would they stick on those names for them to be called all their lives?

Let us know as soon as this big event happens.  You are so lucky to have 3 of each.

In the modern world where unwarranted hyperbole assaults the ears 24/7 and importance is defined by the number of twitter followers or you tube hits, it's nice to see someone earn greatness and the applause of millions the old fashioned way, through two decades of consistent and unparalleled excellence.  I speak of Mariano Rivera.  The greatest closer in the history of baseball.  Period.  When he leaves the stadium for the final time and walks into the night with his customary modesty, he will be accompanied by the quiet admiration of legions of fans and the thunderous silence of the thousands of bats that never quite caught up to his cutter.  Farewell, Mariano.  We won't see the likes of you again soon, perhaps never.  :clap:

Okay, Okay, have a good laugh at the Prankster's expense.  He will have you know he looks quite stylish and svelte in his leopard-skin Speedos. -rollinglaugh-

BTW, SI used to be so much more than just a swimsuit issue.  During its golden age (60s and 70s) it boasted a lineup of regular writers, De Ford, Creamer, Gilbert, Jenkins et al., that was among the best of any magazine of any genre.  These were excellent writers who happened to write about sports.  De Ford's lyrical prose, at its best, soared to the level of near-poetry.  Jenkins wrapped his keen insights and incredible wit in a folksy, down-home style.  Jenkins wrote the sports classic, Semi Tough, a fictional sarcastic parody of professional football that remains one of the funniest books the Prankster has ever read.  These writers wrote straight sports journalism, but they also wrote feature articles on subjects which had only tangential relevance to the world of sports.  Many times they wrote about sports as it related to society at large and the human experience.

The Prankster devoured each issue of SI during this period.  He laments the rapidly dwindling numbers of this breed of sportswriters.

Snow---simple solution----move Xmas.

The next two weekends are the best in the NFL season.  The Prankster's prognostications for the NFL Playoffs:

Dark Horses:  None (would have been the Steelers but they got jobbed by the refs in the KC-SD game)

NFC Conference Championship----Seattle and SF
AFC Conference Championship----Denver and NE

Super Bowl------Denver and Seattle---Champion----Denver (24-23)

Peyton Manning enters the conversation as a solid candidate for the greatest QB ever.

Anyone else care to take a shot?

Duke has figured out a way to neutralize Johnny Football.  Yesterday a group of Duke students secretly filmed an autograph session in which Duke students paid JF for autographs.  The video should be with the NCAA as the Prankster writes this.  Given the NCAA's history of handing out harsh penalties, the Prankster expects JF to miss at least one series.

What happened to my Blue Devils?  They ran into a whirling dervish named Johnny Manziel.  The guy makes Houdini look like a piker.  The most exciting college QB the Prankster has ever seen.  Duke played one near-perfect half and one mediocre half and fell just short.  That said, the Prankster subscribes to Tiger Woods' definition of second place (pre getting whacked with a nine-iron by Elin):  "Second place means you're the first loser."

Assuming he declares, any NFL team that needs a QB and doesn't draft Manziel will kick itself down the road.  The kid is a special player and has the "it" factor.   One yellow light-----his fondness for bacchanalia off of the field has gotten him into some trouble.  He needs to curb it.

The Prankster doesn't like to brag on himself but others should feel free to do so. [Insert superlatives here]!

The Prankster is having serious doubts about his AFC/NFC Championship picks (especially the AFC) but he's sticking with the home teams.  Every football fan should tune in for Denver-NE.  It doesn't get any better than Manning vs. Brady and this might be the last time they face each other w/so much on the line.

Yesterday's games:

AFC---The game was over when Talib got hurt.  Manning was near-perfect, Brady, not so much.  Denver needs to work on getting the ball into the end zone.

NFC--Home field is worth 7 to 10 points for the Seahawks.  Both QBs made some spectacular plays but each has much to learn about being an NFL QB.  Overall, a great, throwback game like they used to play before the NFL became "don't touch" football. 

Super Bowl----The Prankster, on a 6-0 roll, has picked the Broncos.  At this point he likes his pick. :72:

I'm rooting for the Broncos because I'm a big fan of Peyton Manning.  If the Broncos win he should retire.

Sherman's an interesting guy--crazy like a fox.  His 30 second tirade got millions in free publicity and will earn him millions in endorsement deals.  His life story says a lot about what's right with this country;  his method of seeking fame says a lot about what's wrong with this country.

The Prankster, pugnacious prognosticator, is ready to make his FINAL Super Bowl Prediction:

Denver 24, Seattle 20

Two primary reasons for  the Prankster's pick:  Seattle is not at home and Peyton Manning has learned to relax for big games and to temper his aggressiveness with patience.

Reasons for Prankster to worry:  Percy Harvin, especially if he returns kicks.  Eli the ape:  The resident of the Salt Lake City Zoo has picked the last six Super Bowl winners and he picked the Seahawks.
Title: Re: Random Thoughts
Post by: bacali on January 31, 2014, 04:30:05 PM
I like your prediction... I'm rooting for Denver !
And the reasons are soooo non-football related LOL

They had pictures in our local newpapers of the teams arriving... One fella from Denver.. Peyton Manning. ..and one from Seattle...
Peyton arrived in a suit and tie and the other fellow... came looking like a mess... headphones etc.
I just liked Peyton's look.
And, because of Eli.. they've had some big articles in the newpapers about them both and their father. Really like the whole family dynamics.

For all of you Denver fans (or anyone else for that matter) ESPN Films made a wonderful documentary on the Mannings titled "The Book of Manning."  It portrays Archie's life from birth until Eli's graduation from college.  One of the focal points of the piece is the suicide of Archie's Dad after Archie's sophomore year at Ole Miss and how it affected his life and how he raised his own kids.  It's a little over an hour but it's well worth the watch.  If you were a Manning fan going in, you will be an even bigger Manning fan afterwards.

The Super Bowl was terrible!  Despite what Peyton Manning said the Broncos should be embarrassed by their performance.  On the other side of the ball, the Seahawks played a great game and exposed all of Denver's weaknesses, e.g., special teams, turnovers.  If the team can be held together the Prankster would not be surprised if the Seahawks repeat.  One knows the game was bad when the botched coin flip is the highlight!
Title: Re: Random Thoughts
Post by: ponytail on February 03, 2014, 12:51:01 PM
It was awful! But I give Seattle kudos for a game well played. Can't believe the Broncos fared so poorly, but Peyton is a class act, and went about the defeat in his truly classy way.

BRUNO MARS is fantabulous! Loved the half time show, although my hubby was less than enthused. And Joe Namath in that fur coat from the 80's botching the coin toss...what a guy. Loved the Tim Tebow and the America the Beautiful Coke commercial.

Today.... right now... we have at least 8-9 inches of SNOW !! And... it's still falling...and will for a few more hours.
Rain started as the game was over and as the temp fell....snow began aroud 4:30 am.

 I just wanted to share with you a wonderful surprise I had last night. I never, ever was surprised like this.
 I had a Fire Dept Ladies Aux installation dinner to go to. I almost , with the weather felt like staying home except with this big blizzard forcast, I thought it would be fun to get out.
 Well, midway through the dinner we did our quick installation and then the girl that was running things picked up a beautiful bouquet that I hadn't seen...from the floor.
 She started to speak of the member.... who has been  :ecomcity: :ecomcity:..you get the point.
 I looked to the lady on my right as she is older and realized....they were all looking at me.
 The whole dinner was for .....ME !
 Then this iconic woman.... she and her husband are.... made a speech...about me.
 She met me when I was 17 and knew my parents who are gone now for 40 yrs. I felt like I was on a "This is Your Life".
 I was presented with a beautiful bouquet and a life member pin. It was a night I will never forget...and my whole family knew this was going to happen ...and no one let it slip.

 Here are my flowers and the pin.

Congratulations Bacali, I'm sure the honor was well-deserved.  :08: :sign0098:

As part of the Prankster's never-ending rant against Boris Putinov, he submits the following:

Russia spent a reported $51 billion on the Sochi Winter Games, more than all of the previous Winter Games COMBINED.  Hopefully, Vlad the Impaler didn't have to dig into his personal stash, estimated at 70-100 billion.  Being President of Russia must pay really well.  Anyway, the Prankster has found the following illustrations of the wonderful accommodations all of those rubles provided for some of the attendees:

No need to apologize Prairie Dawn.  The Prankster hasn’t practiced law for many years.  He has been both the provider and recipient of legal services so he knows the score----‘tis far better to give than to receive.  Besides, we all need to be able to laugh at ourselves, don’t you agree?

Ah, the mental health profession----a dedicated group of professionals selflessly committed to helping others.  The web is replete with examples of the invaluable service they perform:

Ring…….Ring…….Welcome to the Psychiatric Hotline

If you are obsessive-compulsive, please press 1 repeatedly.

If you are co-dependent, please ask someone to press 2.

If you have multiple personalities, please press 3, 4, 5, and 6.

If you are paranoid-delusional, we know who you are and what you are and what you want.  Just stay on the line so we can trace the call.

If you are schizophrenic, listen carefully and a little voice will tell you which number to press.

If you are depressed, it doesn’t matter which number you press.  No one will answer.

If you are delusional and occasionally hallucinate, please be aware that the thing you are holding to the side of your head is alive and about to bite off your ear.

Once there was a little boy who could not get to sleep at night.  After a brief period of trial and error his family hit upon a solution.  On most nights, when it was bedtime for the little boy, his older sister (by 12 years) would take his hand and lead him to his bedroom.  Once there, she would sit down in a somewhat groany but very comfortable overstuffed rocking chair.  The little boy would nestle in her lap and snuggle up to her.  Then his sister would wrap her arms around him, begin to rock gently and start to sing.  The little boy would fall asleep in ten to fifteen minutes.

To an objective listener, the sister’s voice might have sounded akin to something that would make paint peel from the walls so it could flee the room.  But to the little boy she had the voice of an angel.  He would ask for “just one more song” and then drift off to sleep in her arms with her beautiful music filling his ears.

Rest in peace my Angel.  Your beautiful music will always fill my ears, and my heart.:88:

Prairie Dawn:  Chara tripped and fell during ballet practice and suffered a compound fracture of his tutu.

Snowbird:  The Polar Vortex announced it will spend the spring and summer in Georgia.  From his summer home in Vail, the Governor said the state will be prepared for any contingency.

Ponytail:  The world just ran out of scrunchies and rubber bands.

Bacali:  The NY-NJ Port Authority just announced a six-month traffic study to begin on April 14 for all bridges and tunnels between NJ and NYC.  Governor Christie announced he will have no knowledge of the study until after it’s completed.

This is a tragic week in recent American History.  On April 16, 2007 a seriously mentally disturbed student at Virginia Tech went on a shooting rampage, killing 32 people and wounding 17 others before committing suicide.  The incident sent shock waves through the entire community of people connected to Virginia Tech, including the Prankster.  He knows several families who had sons and daughters at Va. Tech at the time.  Thank God none of them were among the shooting victims.

The Prankster's daughter almost attended Va. Tech and would have been an undergrad at the time of the shooting.  The Prankster still shudders at the thought.

Hokie Nation will be in the Prankster's prayers tonight.

BTW, the NBA playoffs have been phenomenal.  Five out of eight playoff series have gone 7 games.  Much of the basketball has been spectacular.  A group of world-class athletes playing at the limits of their abilities.  For even the casual fan the basketball should be a real treat.


P.S.  PD--a very impressive comeback by your Bruins.

Paleontologists in Argentina recently unearthed the bones of a giant dinosaur.  Its estimated dimensions:  130 feet long, 65 feet high and an estimated weight of 180,000 pounds. :c029:  The scientists named it "Titanosaurus."  The Prankster would have named it " Holy Sh--osaurus!"  If this dinosaur turns out to be a giant Ratosaurus the Prankster WILL sue. :72:

Ah, Ponytail, the Prankster hasn't made as much progress as he would have liked.  First, this thing called "the real world" keeps stealing the time the Prankster needs to write his cinematic masterpiece.   Second, the Prankster is bogged down with censors over one of the scenes he has managed to write.   In the scene, a group of zombie rats go into a mating frenzy during the full moon.  Baby zombie rats are one of the Prankster's innovations and are central to the story. 

Anyway, some cretins at an unnamed cable network feel the scene "is not in good taste" and want to strike it.  Just how is the Prankster supposed to bring the baby zombie rats into the story?  Write a scene about a zombie stork picking them up at the half-eaten and discarded cabbage patch?  Sheesh!   :41:

As you can see, the life of an artist is a difficult one.  Nevertheless, the Prankster shall persevere and keep you posted regarding his progress.

Whether the Prankster used "can" or "is" does not matter.  But you are on to something.  The word you might dispute is "content".  How does one define "content"?  For purposes of this answer, he will employ two conventional measures.

If one measures web content by total volume of data (bits and bytes) or number of documents, conventional search engines access 1% or less of total web content. :c029:

Prairie Dawn:  I am very upset with myself.  In a pathetic attempt at good-natured humor, I crossed the line and did something thoughtless and stupid.  I understand why you are offended and I am very sorry.  Sometimes, I really bollix up things.  I hope you know that I think the world of you and would never want to do anything to hurt or offend you.  But I have.

I wish I could take it back but I can't.  So, all I can do is this:

Prairie Dawn, I am truly sorry and I sincerely apologize and hope you will forgive me.  Will you?   Please?

P.S.  As part of my penance I agree to accept 20 lashes from a dragon's tail that has been used in gunkholing for 20 years.

Regarding my answer, I understand your skepticism.  Next week I will post a piece on this with evidence in support of my answer.  In the interim, for anyone who is a semi-dork (like me) I posted a link below which has some relevant overview information.

WOW! That storm was one for the books.

I hope you and yours are OK.  Please let us know.

The Prankster will make his last post on conventional search engines (CSEs), e.g., Google, Bing, Yahoo, and their limitations in searching the web……..(Why the applause?  Sheesh!)

Many researchers in this area divide the World Wide Web into two parts:  The portion of the web which is accessible to CSEs (“Surface” Web) and the portion of the web which is not (“Deep” or “Invisible” Web).  Why can’t CSEs access the Deep Web?  There are several reasons.  A primary one is because most of Deep Web content is stored in databases which require specialized search capabilities CSEs lack.

The relative size of the Surface Web vs. the Deep Web?  There is a consensus that the Deep Web is many, many times larger than the Surface Web but estimates vary.  The Prankster quotes two sources:

“…top university researchers say the Web you know---Facebook, Wikipedia, news---makes up less than 1% of the entire World Wide Web.”  (first link below)

“In fact, typical search engines like Google, Yahoo, or Bing actually access only a tiny fraction----estimated at .03%--of the internet.”  (second link below)

The Prankster includes three links to sources with good information on the Deep Web.  The first two articles are not long, easy to read and provide a decent overview of the Deep Web.  The third, a white paper, is a bit dated and more daunting but it has a lot of interesting information on the Deep Web and is still cited as an authoritative source.   To all geeks and semi-geeks (like me)---enjoy!

Regarding Bergdahl (sp?), I don't know what to make of it at this point.  I'm withholding judgment until I see more but one thing is clear---the way the administration has handled this matter so far is an absolute disgrace and an affront and insult to all of the brave men and women in uniform who HAVE SERVED THIS COUNTRY WITH HONOR AND DISTINCTION.

Who’s jolly and cute,

and if he is chuckling
and laughing away,
while flying around
in a miniature sleigh
with eight tiny reindeer
to pull him along,
then lets face it…

The Prankster objects to the term "jumbo shrimp."  "Jumbo" should be reserved for truly large things, i.e., "jumbo jet" or it should at least inspire some sense of awe or fear in the beholder.  Some examples------has anyone ever read a sign that says "Keep Out, Beware of Jumbo Shrimp," or has anyone ever heard of a movie entitled "Attack of the Killer Jumbo Shrimp" or "Invasion of the Jumbo Shrimp Body Snatchers," or has anyone ever heard of a jumbo shrimp capsizing a fishing boat or fighting with Godzilla on the streets of Tokoyo?  The Prankster rests his case.

WARNING:  The following post has political content.  It is intended only for immature audiences.

In New Hampshire Trump had a yuuuge win over the Republican field and Clinton suffered a serious third degree Bern.
On the Republican side, a guy who spent two months in a tent in NH got 16% of the vote and was ecstatic.   Another guy, who received one in every nine votes cast, spent over $1000 per vote and finished fourth, acted like he won.  On the Democratic side, a 74 year-old self-described socialist and registered independent received 60% of the vote, demolished the mighty Clinton machine and had Hillary reserving a stadium-sized “special place in hell.”  WTF?  This Presidential campaign gets curiouser and curiouser.

The Prankster has heard a rumor that NBC is rushing into production on a new reality show, “Presidential Candidate Apprentice.”   Each month, The Donald will summon two Republican Presidential Candidates into the “real” Oval Office at Camp Donald (Trump Tower) and let them plead for their political lives.  The Donald will demand that each candidate kiss his comb to demonstrate the candidate’s undying fealty  if he/she leaves the race, throw a Trumpertantrum and then fire one of them from the campaign.  The last candidate standing will be hired as Trump’s VEEP and backup hairdresser.  Who will be the first to go---Chris, Ben, or Carly?  Tune in to the inaugural show.  There is another rumor that the mid-season special will have The Donald firing one of the network correspondents covering the race.  No guest correspondents have been announced but NBC has contacted Megyn Kelly.

I am the Merry Prankster and I approved this post.

In other news, WWE has announced a special "Spring Slam." The feature match has the tag teams of The Donald and Jerry Falwell, Jr. vs. the Dali Lama and a representative from the Little Sisters of the Poor.  Vince McMahon will become a Rabbi so he can officiate the match fairly.

In other news, NBC has commissioned a team of writers to create a treatment for a new reality show, "Vatican Apprentice."  In the opening episode The Donald will rename Trump Tower "Vatican West," redecorate it with knock-off Renaissance art and gold plated  stuff, and build a wall around it with only a single door.  Then eight priests will compete for the right to..........nah, never mind.  Even MP can't go there.......Did anyone else see that flash of lightning?

Las vegas...

This animal had at least 42 guns he purchased LEGALLY and thousands of rounds of ammunition.  If someone plans to blow away hundreds of innocent people MP supposes that he needs both.  Thank God for the Second Amendment.  MP sleeps better at night knowing that the Congress and the Supreme Court will fight to their last breath to defend a gun owner’s right to own an unlimited number of guns and ammo.  After all, there must be sound public policy reasons for a gun owner to have 42 guns, although MP is hard-pressed to think of any.     Wait a sec, what about defending one’s home?  One could put a gun in every room, every closet, behind the toilets, under the dog’s bed, at the bottom of the kids’ toy box (with appropriate safeguards, of course!), in the car’s glove compartment, under one’s pillow, under one’s spouse’s pillow, under the sink, under the crib, etc.  Also, think about this:  what if the first 41 guns jam?  You will thank your lucky stars for number 42, home defender.   One never knows when or where one will stumble upon an unwanted intruder in one’s castle.  Thank you, NRA.    PEOPLE KILL PEOPLE, NOT GUNS.    This must be especially true when the killer wants to kill hundreds of people from the 32nd floor of a hotel, over 500 yards away from the nearest target.

I once had an argument for days exactly along these lines where this reasoning was brought up.There's a term for this reasoning, but I can't remember what it is. We can take it further and apply it to every human tool we use to make our lives better....I say lawn mowers don't mow grass, people mow grass.  #4846 Saddened, disgusted, outraged, flabbergasted and stunned.

I am in a family of gun owners, hunters, and target shooters. It's not that I don't know the value of the second amendment or am against it. Hoping that a sense of sanity will prevail, but if nothing was done after Sandy Hook, I am sure nothing will be done this time.

Post by: Merry Prankster on October 04, 2017, 05:58:26 PM
Believe it or not, MP is not opposed to the Second Amendment or to gun ownership but he does support common-sense restraints on guns and gun ownership.  For example, can someone explain to MP why it is legal for someone to purchase more than 40 guns and thousands of rounds of ammunition when the person is not a gun collector?  Can someone explain to MP why the sale of kits to convert semi-automatic weapons to near fully automatic is legal in most states?  Why are state/federal background checks not required for private sales/gun show sales when such sales account for an estimated 40% of annual gun sales?    Can someone explain to MP the public policy rationale behind legislation pending in Congress that would:

Loosen the restrictions on purchasing  noise-suppression devices for guns, i.e., silencers.   The ostensible rationale is that gunfire noise generated by hunters is impairing their hearing.  Seriously?  Has anyone ever told hunters about a recent technological breakthrough known as ear plugs? 

Make armor-piercing bullets easier to purchase.  Has wildlife started wearing kevlar vests?  Do tanks and humvees keep getting in-between hunters and their prey?  Is there an epidemic of kevlar-clad street thugs preying upon ordinary citizens?  Have clay pigeons started wearing   kevlar?  CONGRESS, YOU CAN'T BE SERIOUS!

The answer can be found in three simple letters:  NRA, and in the Congresspeople (overwhelmingly Republican) who receive its' shekels and do its' bidding.

In honor of St. Paddy's Day:

An Irishman goes into a bar in America and orders three whiskeys. The barman asks: "Would it be better for if I put all three shots in one glass?"

The Irishman replies: "No! I have two other brothers back at home, so every time I come into a pub, I order a shot for them both."


The following week, the Irishman orders just two whiskeys.

The barman asks: "Did something happen one of your brothers?" "Oh no," replies the Irishman. "I just decided to quit drinking!"

In honor of St. Paddy's Day:

An Irishman goes into a bar in America and orders three whiskeys. The barman asks: "Would it be better for if I put all three shots in one glass?"

The Irishman replies: "No! I have two other brothers back at home, so every time I come into a pub, I order a shot for them both."


The following week, the Irishman orders just two whiskeys.

The barman asks: "Did something happen one of your brothers?" "Oh no," replies the Irishman. "I just decided to quit drinking!"

Very funny.
And....  :singing: Happy St. Paddy's day to you.

Food for thought:  For the year to date, more students have been killed in school shootings than military personnel have been killed in foreign conflicts.  What is happening to America?

Yes, I saw this fact, too. Very sad and who can't be angry that nothing seems to change.
