Below you will find the pics I took of the truck at the drop site (and one at the shop).

Thank you all for your concern and wishes, I do appreciate it. While the truck is found, it's still in the ICU; prognosis: unknown.

I have much larger fears to deal with it - which I'll post about shortly. For now, I'm glad it's abuse is over.

At the shop After they unloaded it at the shop.	FORD: Found On Road Dead This is the drop site, how it was found.
Ignition What's left of the ignition mechanism. It starts with a screwdriver; thankfully they were kind enough to leave me one.	Front View Again at the drop site. It's mostly intact - from an appearance standpoint anyway.
Rear View The bed cover has been completely torn off; yet they left the rails. One of the tail-light covers was ripped off and found in the front seat. The window is opened entirely - enough so that someone could crawl through actually.	End of the Ride Per the police, thieves will drive a vehicle out of gas... in this gas, they drove it until they blew a D-rated tire. I can drive through parking lots, with those parking block-curbs things, all day long and not blow a tire... they managed to do it though. There's just over half a tank of gas left.

EDIT TO ADD
As far as catching the gutless pricks who did this... I asked the cop who called me about whether or they were gonna dust it and... get this: They don't dust for fingerprints on stolen cars - unless they catch the guy driving it. So... IF they see the guy driving a stolen vehicle - THEN they take his prints and see if they show up in the vehicle. Doesn't that seems a little BASS_ACKWARDS to you? This fucking asshole needs to be in the system, if he's not already - build a library of fingerprints - even if it's an unnamed identity... sooner or later you'll print a guy and find a match - then you can nail him for the 102 other crimes where you found his worthless piece of shit prints. Jesus h fucking christ - police much?

Also, don't do drugs then write a rap about not doing drugs:

You have no reason to add me. Please stop.

Пожалуйста прекратите добавлять меня. Нет никакой причины сделать это.

"Fidelity": Don't Divorce... from Courage Campaign on Vimeo.


From Courage Campaign:

[Ken Starr] has filed a legal brief -- on behalf of the "Yes on 8" campaign -- that would forcibly divorce the 18,000 same-sex couples married in California last year before the passage of Prop 8.

News broke Tuesday that the state Supreme Court will hear oral arguments on March 5, and will then make a decision within 90 days on the validity of Prop 8 and these 18,000 marriages.

When Starr's legal brief went public in December, the Courage Campaign immediately launched the "Don't Divorce..." campaign, asking our members to send us pictures with a simple message for Starr and the Prop 8 Legal Defense Fund.

Those pictures, and the heartfelt messages on them, inspired blogger Paul Delehanty (also known as "kid oakland") to send us a suggestion: Would Regina Spektor allow us to put your pictures to the words and music of her hit song "Fidelity"? So, we asked her and she said yes, very enthusiastically.

Regina Spektor's song, in concert with your pictures, shines a beautiful light on the 18,000 couples that Ken Starr wants to forcibly divorce.

I've gone ahead and grabbed a Vox account, just in case. However, I'm changing from johnny101. Unfortunately, the URL I wanted was already taken, Asmodeus, so I just chose this plain-english version for now: http://angrylust.vox.com/

The sad thing is the douche who has my url is a total douche. seriously, an animated iPod graphic and a picture of a horse? oh, you're in Kazakhstan? that makes total sense. *rolls eyes*

hit me up if you got one.

yes, i'm totally pimping this... again:

Friday, max and I watched Sweeney Todd, and I wasn't quite sure what to make of it. But, two things made me laugh far too much ... 1) the song above 2) the montage shortly following it when everybody was dropped on it's head.

In general, I'd say this, like a lot of musicals I've seen (which, admittedly isn't a lot), rely on a few simple melodies/songs to fill in the gaps. Perhaps it's a standard formula, but when I saw Phantom the first time, i was surprised to hear the same song 6 times.

I'm in need of an electrician. Another outlet has mysteriously quit working in the house. The tally so far is: 3rd floor bathroom light and socket. 2nd floor, blue room ceiling fan/light, 2nd floor bathroom socket, 1st floor kitchen socket.

None of them quit at the same time and no breakers are flipped. It appears to be totally random.

Anyway... has anyone ever used any electrician and has any referrals?

So, in an effort consolidate all the wonderful conversations people have on lj that are intelligent and well-conducted; there's a new community around: brain_brigade.

Check it out. For those who are already members, don't forget to add it to your friends/filters list and re-read the first entry (it's been updated with some requests).

Basically, it's a place to virtually sit by the fireplace in the parlor, sipping cognac, smoking a meerschaum pipe, discussing whatever intellectual topic that stimulates your brain while wearing a silk smoking jacket. Hovis will get you another, even.

(all that means is be polite and respectful to one another)

hmmm, indeed.

So, OTEP IS COMING! Next Sunday, actually.





With Ill Nino and a few others. I don't really care about those guys, but goddammit I have missed Otep the last TWO times they've been here.

I doubt there's anyone in this nation, or perhaps even in the world that doesn't recognize that last night's election was major milestone in US history. Regardless of if you believe in his politics, you have to acknowledge what happened: A black man was elected president of the united states. I was glad to be alive and a part of that historic event.

The evening went like this: Do shopping on the way home. Get home, turn on the tv to watch the less-than-1%-reporting forecasts. (someday, a statistician will have to explain to me the details of how they can officially "call" a state with such low levels of data. project, fine. call? i'd like more evidence) Max cooked up some burgers for us while we watched the presidential and all the MO races/amendments/props numbers grow on the screen. We took a break and watched Sunday's Family Guy only to return to seeing Obama with 140 to McCains 40. Had some drinks, kept watching ... kept checking our phones as Twitter was all a-flutter. When Ohio was called, it was definitely over. When California was called it was officially over.

She went to bed and I tried to play socom, but had to do a PS3 update, so while that was going, I watched McCain's concession speech (a very nice speech, btw, i thought). Then I waited for Obama's speech, but it was taking for-freaking-ever, and the couch had sucked me into it's grasp. I actually fell asleep during his speech. :( I expect it was everything we'd all expect, a respectful commentary on McCain, and more praise/preaching for hope and change he'll be bringing. I do remember hearing his say one thing that I think a lot of people aren't understanding. "It won't be done in a year, or even a single presidential term." ... The change he wants to bring isn't just going to "appear" on January 21st (the day after he's sworn). That also means, for all the anti-bamas, that the world will not end on that day either.

For the country, I'm proud to be a part of a movement that broke some long hidden race-barriers. For some individual states (*ahem, CA), I'm sad and embarrassed by their decisions to ban gay marriage. Seriously, CA banned it. Half of that state is gay and it was banned. I will never understand that one. I wonder if it will hold, if there's ever a federal proposition to legalize it? Doubtful.

Now, what's done is done, lets get back to watching Bush for the next two months - and lets see just what Obama is going to be able to do. I doubt he'll be able to do half of what he wants, offered and promised during the election. Some of that is good, some of that is bad. We shall see.

Oh, did anyone see the Hologram interviews on CNN???

doesn't really mean anything.

How has this not been plastered all over my flist.

Thank you panfrieda!!

As she said ... wait for it...

So... because it's halloween time, and it's also omegaman6's birthday weekend - we are making a trip out to CreepyWorld (Silo-X/etc) this saturday. We're not going to The Darkness on this trip; just to CW - it's got 5 attractions now! :)

So... who's up for some haunted housing!

It's $30 for the SPEED PASS for ALL attractions in CW (meaning, no lines, just walk right up to the front of any an all exhibits. Totally worth it. $20, otherwise. There are coupons on the site and you can get coupons from lots of local stores if you were so inclined.
