When in doubt, knock 'em out.

I went tonight to watch my Nephew's MMA fight. But it got cancelled cuz when the the other guy met my Nephew he refused to fight cuz he was a chicken shit. Since he refused to fight he has a 6 month suspension.

so...he joined MMA just to refuse?

I guess my question would be what the heck is an MMA???? Wrestling/boxing????


TIS

Yea TIS it's mixed martial arts.

I don't know why the other guy refused to fight my nephew.

WASHINGTON (AP) - Gun control advocates think, if not pray, they can win by losing when the Supreme Court decides whether the constitutional right to possess guns serves as a check on state and local regulation of firearms.

The justices will be deciding whether the Second Amendment - like much of the rest of the Bill of Rights - applies to states as well as the federal government. It's widely believed they will say it does.

But even if the court strikes down handgun bans in Chicago and its suburb of Oak Park, Ill., that are at issue in the argument to be heard Tuesday, it could signal that less severe rules or limits on guns are permissible.

Great, now the furnace isn't kicking on so I'll be freezing my tail off 'til the HVAC appointment. It's 59 degs, which isn't SO bad, but I don't know when in the middle of the night it stopped heating so don't know how low it's gonna go. A look online suggests a dirty thermocoupler which is minor, but it's not something I'm comfortable with fiddling with.

Holy shit -- I had just submitted the service request thru my home warranty people before posting here and just got a call from the HVAC guy -- on a Sunday! He'll be over tomorrow between 9-12 so only one day of chilled patootie lol

PS - Now I really wish I had picked up an electric "fireplace" for the family room, but luckily at least I have a portable "radiator" heater...

It's all relative, Geoff. I saw that a family of three was killed in a housefire less than a ½ mile away from you last night.

Wow, I hadn't heard of it. Sometimes what you think of as a big deal really isn't...

Anyone heard about this?
Kinda old news but..

AC Transit Bus Fight
Wednesday, February 17, 2010

A recent report by state and federal transportation officials revealed that many mass transit passengers have fear of being harmed by their fellow passengers. There is a video on YouTube featuring a bloody fistfight on an AC Transit bus between two passengers of bus. In the video, the two passengers are shown in a violent altercation. The concern 67-page study report shows that the highest amount of fear is presented among the women.

According to a spokesman for AC Transit, the fight took place on Monday afternoon at 3 p.m. in downtown Oakland. The spokesman further reported that both men were taken to a nearby hospital for medical treatment. Several passengers of AC Transit report that they have seen violence on buses for several times. Ms. Keishawn MnQuirter says, she stopped traveling on local buses about two months ago after she witnessed a fight in which several passengers were badly injured.

“If something happened to me, the people who did it to me probably won’t get caught,” said McQuirter. “There’s no justice. What’s the point? I got a two year old baby at home.”

On the other hand, Rod Diridon who belongs to the San Jose’s Mineta Transportation Institute insists that public transport is a safe mean of traveling. Although, he supports Public Transit but he also admits that violence on mass transit is causing women to feel unsafe.

Many other passengers commented that although, there are incidents of violence on buses and trains but these kinds of incidents not occur everyday so they will keep traveling on public transport as it is cheaper and safer.


Viewer Discretion is Advised




The guy is getting so popular on the internet:



There's even a documentary about his early life on YouTube.

i saw that the other day...maybe i should i get into a fight while wearing a cubs uniform and a cowboy hat, and broadcast it on youtube.

Yay! Heat's back! Guy showed up before 9 and was out by 9:15. It was down to 52°F in here, so my patootie is warming up.

I did hear about that. It's all over the blogosphere. That's got to be the funniest thing I've seen in quite some time. Just because there's snow on the mountain top doesn't mean there's not fire down below. Be careful before you try to start a fight with an old man, because he just might be a Bada$$ Grandpa!!!!

I don't know what the young man was thinking, you don't mess with a senior who's wearing a shirt that says:

DIARY OF A SNOW SHOVELER

December 8 - 6:00 PM
It started to snow. The first snow of the season and the wife and I took our cocktails and sat for hours by the window watching the huge soft flakes drift down from heaven. It looked like a Grandma Moses Print. So romantic we felt like newlyweds again. I love snow!

December 9
We woke to a beautiful blanket of crystal white snow covering every inch of the landscape. What a fantastic sight! Can there be a more lovely place in the whole world? Moving here was the best idea I've ever had! Shoveled for the first time
in years and felt like a boy again. I did both our driveway and the sidewalks. This afternoon the snowplough came along and covered up the sidewalks and closed in the driveway, so I got to shovel again. What a perfect life!

December 12
The sun has melted all our lovely snow. Such a disappointment! My neighbor tells me not to worry- we'll definitely have a white Christmas. No snow on Christmas would be awful! Bob says we'll have so much snow by the end of winter, that I'll never want to see snow again. I don't think that's possible. Bob is such a nice man, I'm glad he's our neighbor.

December 14
Snow, lovely snow! 8 inches last night. The temperature dropped to -20. The cold makes everything sparkle so. The wind took my breath away, but I warmed up by shoveling the driveway and sidewalks. This is the life! The snowplough came back this afternoon and buried everything again. I didn't realize I would have to do quite this much shoveling, but I'll certainly get back in shape this way. I wish I wouldn't huff and puff so.

December 15
20 inches forecast. Sold my van and bought a 4x4 Blazer. Bought snow tires for the wife's car and 2 extra shovels. Stocked the freezer. The wife wants a wood stove in case the electricity goes out. I think that's silly. We aren't in Alaska , after all.

December 16
Ice storm this morning. Fell on my ass on the ice in the driveway putting down salt. Hurt like hell. The wife laughed for an hour, which I think was very cruel.

December 17
Still way below freezing. Roads are too icy to go anywhere. Electricity was off for 5 hours. I had to pile the blankets on to stay warm. Nothing to do but stare at the wife and try not to irritate her. Guess I should've bought a wood stove, but won't admit it to her. God I hate it when she's right. I can't believe I'm freezing to death in my own living room.

December 20
Electricity's back on, but had another 14 inches of the damn stuff last night. More shoveling! Took all day. The damn snowplough came by twice. Tried to find a neighbor kid to shovel, but they said they're too busy playing hockey. I think they're lying. Called the only hardware store around to see about buying a snow blower and they're out. Might have another shipment in March... I think they're lying. Bob says I have to shovel or the city will have it done and bill me. I think he's lying.

December 22
Bob was right about a white Christmas because 13 more inches of the white shit fell today, and it's so cold, it probably won't melt till August. Took me 45 minutes to get all dressed up to go out to shovel and then I had to piss. By the time I got undressed, pissed and dressed again, I was too tired to shovel. Tried to hire Bob who has a plough on his truck for the rest of the winter, but he says he's too busy. I think the asshole is lying.


December 23
Only 2 inches of snow today. And it warmed up to 0. The wife wanted me to decorate the front of the house this morning. What is she, nuts?!! Why didn't she tell me to do that a month ago? She says she did but I think she's lying.

December 24
6 inches - Snow packed so hard by snowplough, I broke the shovel. Thought I was having a heart attack. If I ever catch the son of a bitch who drives that snow plough, I'll drag him through the snow by his balls and beat him to death with my broken shovel. I know he hides around the corner and waits for me to finish shoveling and then he comes down the street at a 100 miles an hour and throws snow all over where I've just been! Tonight the wife wanted me to sing Christmas carols with her and open our presents, but I was too busy watching for the damn snowplough.

December 25
Merry f---ing Christmas! 20 more inches of the damn slop tonight - Snowed in. The idea of shoveling makes my blood boil. God, I hate the snow! Then the snowplough driver came by asking for a donation and I hit him over the head with my shovel. The wife says I have a bad attitude. I think she's a fricking idiot. If I have to watch "It's A Wonderful Life" one more time, I'm going to stuff her into the microwave.

December 26
Still snowed in. Why the hell did I ever move here? It was
all HER idea. She's really getting on my nerves.

December 27
Temperature dropped to -30 and the pipes froze; plumber
came after 14 hours of waiting for him, he only charged me $1,400 to replace all my pipes.

December 28
Warmed up to above -20. Still snowed in. The BITCH is driving me crazy!!!

December 29
10 more inches. Bob says I have to shovel the roof or it could cave in... That's the silliest thing I ever heard. How dumb does he think I am?

December 30
Roof caved in. I beat up the snow plough driver, and now he is suing me for a million dollars, not only the beating I gave him, but also for trying to shove the broken snow shovel up his ass. The wife went home to her mother. Nine more inches predicted.

December 31
I set fire to what's left of the house. No more shoveling.

January 8
Feel so good. I just love those little white pills they keep giving me. Why am I tied to the bed?

That was pretty funny.

Talk about a wedding crasher!

A sex-crazed elephant rampaged through a lavish wedding ceremony in New Delhi in hot pursuit of a mate, leaving flipped cars and dazed guests in its wake.

The lovestruck pachyderm, one of three hired for the traditional Indian reception, caused more than $300,000 in damage after it went rogue, according the Bangkok-based Thaindian News.

The elephant charged the couple’s guests, stampeding across a lawn and flipping at least 20 cars as it chased a female elephant in heat.

The animal was subdued with a tranquilizer after six hours on the lam – but not before it rammed a police truck.

Officials for the Wildlife Trust of India blamed the incident on a case of raging hormones, saying the elephant was in "mast," the mating phase that occurs once a year.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court appeared willing Tuesday to say that the Constitution's right to possess guns limits state and local regulation of firearms. But the justices also suggested that some gun control measures might not be affected.
The court heard arguments in a case that challenges handgun bans in the Chicago area by asking the high court to extend to state and local jurisdictions the sweep of its 2008 decision striking down a gun ban in the federal enclave of Washington, D.C.

The biggest questions before the court seemed to be how, rather than whether, to issue such a ruling and whether some regulation of firearms could survive. On the latter point, Justice Antonin Scalia said the majority opinion he wrote in the 2008 case "said as much."

The extent of gun rights are "still going to be subject to the political process," said Chief Justice John Roberts, who was in the majority in 2008.

At the very least, Tuesday's argument suggested that courts could be very busy in the years ahead determining precisely which gun laws are allowed under the Second Amendment's "right to keep and bear arms," and which must be stricken.

Postal Service to shed another 30,000 jobs
By Aaron Smith, CNNMoney.com staff writerMarch 2, 2010: 5:16 PM ET


NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- The U.S. Postal Service said on Tuesday that it would reduce its workforce by another 30,000 positions and slash overtime this year in an effort to reduce costs

NEW YORK (AP) - Republican strategist Karl Rove says in a new memoir that the failure to find weapons of mass destruction in Iraq badly damaged the Bush administration's credibility and led to dwindling public support for the war.

The former White House political adviser blames himself for not pushing back against claims that President George W. Bush had taken the country to war under false pretenses, calling it one of the worst mistakes he made during the Bush presidency. The president, he adds, did not knowingly mislead the American public about the existence of such weapons.

What is driving the Post Office's increased costs?

Giving cops the finger.
Sit on this!!!!

What many people fail to unerstand is that a business gets to choose its level of service such as service area and services. Generally, government does not. For example, governemnt's service area is its jurisdiction. In the case of the USPS that jurisdiction is the US, all 3.5 million square miles of it. As a consequence, it must accept certain inefficiencies that businesses reject. In both cases, there are revenue and cost outcomes.

We had a similar case here in Texas last decade. An appellate court ruled that such a gesture aimed at police would not be expected to result in a physical confrontation since police are to avoid such situations.

Police are people too with the same emotions as anyone else. However, after a while on the force they seem to forget that they are agents of government, subject to Constitutional constraints, and generally ignorant of common law and judicial precedent. They are not to use their employment to service their emotions or disposition.
