They sent me a new set-top converter box when I finally replaced my old SDTV with a hi-def one back sometime last year. I’d forgotten about returning it until I got a notice saying we had one or more old set-top boxes that needed to be replaced by 10/6. DW’s set has a box thats almost seven years old. Since the office is a long way across town I figured I’d kill two birds and get her replacement while I returned my old one. The best laid plans, etc., etc.

When I got there I had to take a number. There were 19 people ahead of me and two “customer service people” I think they were called. You may not believe this, but patience is an attribute I never acquired. She said I’d have to disconnect the old box and bring it in. The new box on my other TV didn’t get hooked up until SS did it. I told her that would happen when a Poland China hog flew out of my nether regions.

Then I axed her why my bill went up $20 this month; was it just because they can or did they need more dough to send to the Democrat Party? (It’s Comcast,after all.) She just gave me a polite, ‘Please piss off, I have other people to abuse.’

My lawyer says he can probably plead my case down to a misdemeanor verbal battery charge. I’m out on bail at the moment.

I’M ADDICTED TO THESE DAMN THINGS. THE ONLY PLACE I FOUND THEM OTHER THAN AT THE HOLIDAYS IS AT ALDI’S.

There was so much stuff today I had to break it down into two parts. Don’t know how it happened. Talent,I guess

ONLY 58% oppose Barry’s Iran deal; the rest just don’t care

What’s going on today?
Black lives Matter being run by a white dude who conned Orca out of a black scholarship, punk shoots at cops in N. St. Louis, gets neutralized. Crowd gathers instantly, throws bottles and rocks at the po-po, burns a few cars and does some undocumented shopping…. just for the hell of it. Press still shielding Cankles, crowds to hear The Donald swell and the cheating website Ashley Madison, with over 38 MILLION members gets hacked and the area with the most participants is DC (go figure).
My beloved child bride said she never worried about me cheating… I’d be charged with assault with a dead weapon.

Still anonymous Bad Lip Reading dude seems to have received a mouse brain. At his own home. While tied up and sedated. Local sheriff says no charges filed. Action was ‘justified.’

Gruntington Post – Shortly after releasing the Bad Lip Reading video for the recent GOP debate, the anonymous man behind the popular videos, who has nonetheless been interviewed by a few publications, was found by neighbors resting comfortably at home in Nashville after apparently being the world’s first successful – and involuntary – brain transplant recipient.

Davidson County Sheriff Ron Blurthy told the Gruntington Post that neighbors observed Dr. Ben Carson, who is also a GOP candidate for President of the United States, knock on Mr. BLR’s door early this morning. When he answered, Dr. Carson shoved an ether-soaked rag in Mr. BLR’s face and proceeded to prep him for surgery right there on the front porch. “Aside from periodic re-application of the ether rag, he performed the whole operation without anesthesia,” said long-time neighbor Amanda Richardson. “And I can’t say I blame him. Have you seen the video? It makes all the debaters look pretty silly, but what he did with Dr. Carson was just mean. He was lucky to get a mouse brain, frankly. I think he probably deserved something more of the invertebrate variety. But Dr. Carson is just like that. He always gives more than people expect.”
