Help out… and pass it on.

SGT Rickey Jones

Forwarded to me by LindaSog, this link to A Soldier’s Perspective’s campaign to support the family of SGT Rickey Jones, killed Feb. 22 when an improvised explosive device detonated near his Humvee during patrol operations in Hawijah, Iraq:

I am trying to help organize a letter writing campaign to the family of SGT Rickey Jones. As you may have read earlier, their home was vandalized by idiots who wouldn’t understand patriotism if it flew a plane through their bedroom window.

If you own a blog, please post this effort on your respective blogs and ask your readers to post it on their blogs. If you are as disgusted as I am and would like to write a letter to have delivered to this family, please email Lauren (MyWay716@aol.com) for more information. The good people over at Operation Military Pride are helping facilitate the delivery of these letters.

Folks, let’s not let the cretinous pieces of filth who have vandalized the family’s home and called with hateful messages of “Your son deserved to die” color this family’s memory of their son. Look into this for yourself. And if you are as (rightfully) angered by these actions and by the announced plans of Fred Phelps and his cult of hate (gee, you’d think they were Muslims or something) to “protest” this soldier’s funeral as am I, please write the family with your support and encourage others to do so as well.

Euphoric Reality also has an address to send cards. Funeral services are set for this coming Monday.

Ya think I should send this email?

I hate it when people impose their stupidity on me. Here’s a dipwad that’s a prime example, and the email I have sitting in my outbox awaiting my CLICK of the “send” button…

[Oh, I’m not the list administrator, so I’ve substituted “XXXX” for the list name below)

From: me
To: rleamer@greenhills.net (yeh, the idiot’s real email address)

Note: the below is in response to your unconscionably lazy, stupid and inconsiderate behavior:

Ya know, I have developed a distaste, over the past 15 years or so, for people who are too lazy to unsubscribe from lists according to published protocols. I try to be as nice about it as I can be, but cluttering up MY mailbox with your assinine request to be removed when there’s a perfectly good PRESCRIBED METHOD for removing yourself IN THE FOOTER OF EVERY LISTMAIL YOU’VE RECIEVED is simply evidence of your cluelessness, laziness or complete disregard for any kind of polite discourse whatsoever.

Or all three.

Please use the proper method to unsubscribe yourself. Read through the mesage below, quoting YOUR OWN EMAIL, sent through the listserver showing you EXACTLY how to unsubscribe.

Sending an email to the entire list is not, repeat NOT the way to do it, as anyone with two active brain cells can easily tell.

Now, you think you can get it right?

(I doubt it.)

Feel bad, puppy? Next time, use some sense. or if you have none, ask someone who has some to do your “thinking” for you.

Dipwad.

So, hit the “send” button or not? What’s your vote?

I should note that gentle pointers to such clueless idiots in the past have usually netted hate mail, anyway, so I thought it’d not get any worse if I simply spoke bluntly. Different strokes: you may disagree.

Bacon and Onion Muffins

This one is right up my alley: delicious and easy. I found it in a recipe book compiled for the Lutheran church my Wonder Woman’s aunt attends in a little Minnesota hamlet that doesn’t even have its own post office. As is my norm, I’ve modified it slightly to suit my taste.

  • 2 C flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp dry mustard powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt (and as you know, I only use non-iodized Kosher salt for cooking. OK, maybe you didn’t know. You do now.)
  • 3/4 C chopped green onions–just the green (eat the rest, of course)
  • 1/2 C finely chopped Canadian bacon or cooked, trimmed bacon.
  • 1 egg
  • 1 C milk
  • 1/4 C olive oil

Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. “Grease” 12-“cup” muffin pan. Mix dry ingredients and wet ingredients separately (holding green onions and bacon bits in reserve). Pour egg/milk/oil mixture into dry ingredient mixture and stir until they are juuuust combined, then add the bacon/onion. Spoon batter into the muffin pan (you can even it out, but it’ll be avout 1/4 cup per muffin). Bake at 400 for 15-20 minutes. You can test the muffins by inserting a toothpick–if it comes out clean, they’re done.

Serve ’em hot with butter. You can vary this by making a half-and half flour/cornmeal muffin and serving with a good pot of beans, or just eat ’em by themselves or with any meal you feel they’d complement.

Enjoy!

Another re-run: How can you detect an islamofascist terrorist?

[NOTE: This is a rerun from summer fare. Important information nonetheless. *s* Yeh, re-runs. I have plenty of new stuff bubbling, but it’s Saturday, I’m feeling a bit lazy and besides, this is important information. It could save human lives, feed some needy catfish and provide you with useful explosives for ethical purposes.]

A Precision Guided Humor Assignment from The Alliance of Free Blogs: How can you tell if someone is a terrorist?

Now, admittedly, I’ve modified this a bit to exclude waning IRA terrorists and others by narrowing the assignment further to islamofascist murdering savage SOBs, but I think I may be forgiven for that. If not, what’s the Alliance going to do? Send a splodydope to America’s Third World County™? We’d welcome one or twelve. There are always stumps to clear from fields, you know, and some fish just won’t bite and need to be persuaded to “come to papa” *heh* [note; OK, maybe ya don’t tell the game warden about that one]. The idea that an islamofascist murdering savage SOB terrorist could slip by the Third World County™ detection system is laughable.

The Third World County™ Profiler’s Politically Incorrect Guide to Detecting an Islamofascist Murdering Savage SOB Terrorist.

See a suspect? Maneuver to get the wind on ’em. (Scent’s your first clue apart from the fact that the guy looks like an Ay-rab.)

Step 1.) Does the goober smell worse than, well, Goober? If so, he’s either a Loony Left Moonbat or an Islamofascist murdering savage SOB. Bag ‘im either way.

Step 2.) When you perform a “cranial echo test” (whack ‘im on the head with an axe handle) does a “thunk” or no sound at all procede from his pie hole? If a “thunk” then it’s a Loony Left Moonbat and good for catfish feed or for bait for wild boar. If no sound at all issues, then there’s nothing inside (sound doesn’t travel in a vaccuum, you know) and you have a splodydope. Remove any useful explosives and see uses for Loony Left Moonbat, above. If the critter attempts to bite the axe handle, it’s an osama and should be doused with gasoline and burned (after removing any useful explosives for later use fishing or blowing stumps).

Do bury any remains of an osama in pig manure and turn the compost frequently. Use this compost to kill kudzu.

This has been a re-run of a third world county classic post.

What to bring to a counter-protest

[N.B. this is a re-run of a post from September 29, 2005 at the “old” TWC, written for that week’s Precision Gided Humor Assignment.]

The Precision Guided Humor Assignment for this week is, “What should you bring with you to protest an anti-war rally?”

When you think about it for a second or three, that’s really a silly question. Who’s going to see your protest of the “protest”? Self-made idiots of the Loony Left Moonbat Brigade there to celebrate their braindead embrace of anti-war rhetoric, Mass Media Podpeople (also self-made idiots) or people who already agree that the other two classes of creatures that may once have been human are now devolved or replaced by Podpeople from the planet “Reality-Based Fantasia”. The first two classes of beings will not be impacted at all by your protest and the latter class have lives to live, people to feed, bills to pay, etc., and have little time for such foolishness.

If, however, you want to spend some time viewing barking moonbats in their natural habitat for pleasure or education, here are a few of the items you MUST take with you:

A good gas mask.  It’s the stench of unwashed bodies, you know.

MilitarypatchSome heavy-duty insect repellent. Lice, fleas, etc. on unwashed moonbats. (Oh, and the rest of the gear pictured might not be such a bad idea, either. Barking moonbats have been known to throw hissy-fits, and they scratch and bite something fierce.)

You might consider having one of these standing by, as well, a Mobile Topical Applicator and Inhabitant Delouser:
And even with a gas mask, you may well need one of these:barf-bag
