By the way, that was a pretty halfassed rant.  

 
yeah where's the part where he beats the guy senseless with his boot, throws him in the trunk, takes him to the desert, ties him to a cactus facing the sunrise and rips his eyelids off?

Charming! It turns out the guy who hit us let his insurance policy expire. The expiration date on his verification was December of this year, but apparently he didn't bother to pay the premiums. Guess I'll be going down to the station house with the letter of denial from his former insurance carrier and swearing out a complaint to have him cited for being uninsured. Also, I'll see him in small-claims court at some point to ask a judge to make him pay our deductible.

They need to tweek the state law so that if you're paying in 30-day increments (or quarterly or bi-annually) that the verification states that and the expiration date actually means something.

What’s all this fuss I’ve been hearing about the 2016 presidential erection? Now, I know they erected a monument for Mr. Lincoln and President Washington, but that’s because they’re DEAD! Hopefully, the 2016 President won’t be DEAD! So he won’t NEED an erection! If Americans are going to spend money to erect anything, why don’t we tear down those nasty slums and erect luxury high rises for poor people and senior citizens! Not for presidents who can afford to pay for their OWN erections!
                                   
                                         {#Eek} 

 
Couldn't find a video (the bit was from 40 years ago, 1976), but here's the transcript. Just imagine Akryoyd doing his best Jimmuh Carter:

 

 Uh, hi there, everybody. It's good to see your faces. Tonight I want to talk to you about a timeless Democratic tradition - sexual performance in the White House! < smiles and salutes the crowd > I am going to personally try to be a lusty, zesty kind of president, and follow.. < winks at girl in the crowd > Hi, baby. How are you? < returns to speech > ..and follow the lusty example of LBJ, JFK, and FDR. I want you to remember for a moment the love life of Harry Truman, and my guess is that his First Lady was one satisfied customer! < makes kissing gestures to girls in the crowd > 

It is in my heart that I have commited adultery, and that God forgives me, and.. um.. I forgot to add when I said that, that I have worn women's clothing.. < pauses and smiles > ..and I look very beautiful in it, too! I dont know why I said that, but I think that in the long run it will help me get elected! 

You know, when stopping like this, I have had the opportunity to lust after a lot of women in America, and I have found that.. "East coast girls are really hip, I really dig the styles they wear.." < pauses and smiles > "..and the Northern girls, with the way they look, they keep me warm up there.." < clicks along > "I wish they all could be California girls!" 

So far in my campaign, I have only fantisized. But now I actually look forward to some of the girls I've lusted after. Saucy vixens like Helena Kazan, Sheri Lewis, Phyliss Newman - actually, I'm not sure God ever forgave me for Phyliss Newman. But I want you to look at our Democratic figures - FDR, LBJ, JFK, Harry Truman - now, here were lusty, zesty men, seething with vital hormonal secretions. These were men of action. Doers. Democrats! As your president, I look forward to deeply satisfying each and every last one of you! God forgive us all! Thank you! 

< waves and salutes crowd > 

< dissolve to SUPER: "Democrats Do It" > 

< fade out >

There's a band in Nashville called The Long Players who choose an album, learn it and play it, and it really seems like it'd be a lot of fun. So I'd go for that.

So, I say that I'm finding the conversation kind of bizarre and I wonder aloud if perhaps I should just call back and ask for her by her correct name so that we can start over....and SHE TELLS ME THAT SHE IS SUPRISED THAT I'VE BEEN SO "KNOCKED OFF OF" my "GAME" by this. that it doesn't seem to her to be that big of a deal... WHA??W?W????!?!?

 

Anyway, I googled her daycare center after we spoke and on more than one website (child care resource sites,) the woman is referenced as the daycare director WITH HER OLD LAST NAME!

no, but she could kick the kid out of daycare if I do the things I've been thinking of doing.

Like: asking you to call the center and ask for her by her last name

"May I please speak with Mrs. So-And-So?"..... "Yes, Mrs. Sharon So-And-So"



 
You know, I think she should just shut up and have some respect for you, and the incredibly difficult, and vital, work that you do! Really? How important, in the grand scheme of things, is her fixation on her former husband's NAME??

Get over yourself, Mrs. Sharon What's-His-Name.
