Secret of Monkey Island Gifs

So I was digging through some old discs and found these gems. I got these off the interwebs many many moons ago. Enjoy!

Some Harry Potter 'questions'

There are plot holes so large you could drive a truck through them. Here are a few in 'question format':

• If Fudge would not believe Harry in the Goblet of Fire that Voldermort was back, why not just look into his memory (like Harry and Dumbledore do on many occasions to many different people's memories)?
• Why didn't Harry just kill Voldermort on the many occasions when he had the chance? Harry knew what the score was and that nothing would end till one of the them was dead.
• When Harry and Dumbledore apperate back at the castle after Dumbledore is weakened and they heard others coming (and Dumbledore seemed to already know what was going to happen)... why didn't they apperate back out?
• That bothers me too. Dumbledore always acted as if his death was apart of a plan and you never really knew if he died or not cause of the way he kept talking. In the end he did die and for no apparent purpose or plan. It was kinda dumb.
• If the luck potion and the timeturner were both so powerful why weren't they used at REALLY critical moments of Voldermort's rise? For that matter why didn't Dumbledore keep the Sorcerer's stone (or a potion of it) too?

I understand these were 'kids' books written by an a first time writer but there were some big holes there...

Funny things my mom says...

• DW-40 = WD40
• UBS = USB
• On the line = Online
• Matt = Nathan

Friday Thoughts

• You know, Harry Potter is all bunk... Given the description of what 'types' of people go into each house JK Rowling jumped the shark when she made Hermione (obviously should have gone into Ravenclaw), Neville and Ron (should have been Hufflepuff) go into Griffyndor. BUNK.
• Harry's aging in the movies disturbed me too. They really should have made an effort to make these films closer together.

Spring is in the air

• I got Poison Oak REALLY bad on my arm last week and it is only now finally going away. (slowly). It happens every year when I do the first yard work of the year.
• In May Chris and I are running a KickStarter project for a board game we are making called Rise of the Rock Star. Go check it out.
• I'm working all the way up in Brideport now and won't be back in the metroplex (proper) until October. The drive is a beating.
• Home Depot's appliance department has really shrunk lately. We went to blow a couple of grand there the other day and we couldn't find ANYTHING we liked, there was little to choose from.

Friday Thoughts

• I figured it out. If you look at the history books you will find Democrats were the race-hatin' whites who fought desegregation. Eventually human rights won out and there was nothing Democrats could do to stop it. HOWEVER, in their defeat they figured out a way to keep those races beneath their jack boots... government assistance.
• The Democrat party began with the hand outs in the name of 'kindness', keeping an already beaten race dependant on their 'white overlords'. In the guise of helping they have reduced a race of people to dependants.
• Meanwhile the Democrats paint Rebublicans as heartless when Republicans simply want more people on their own two feet (having jobs, paying taxes, etc).

Monday Thoughts

• We bought a house. We are now waiting on all that tedious paperwork to go through. Ugh.
• I will be glad to get out of a mobile home but will not be glad that I have virtually no yard. What ever will I do with my free time?!
• The new house is in Keller (North Fort Worth actually) so a lot of what I talk about Decatur-wise will become Keller-wise.
• Oh yeah, the only problem... we haven't sold our current house yet.
• My realtor is working on that but we have had a ton of showings in the last week alone.
• Have you 'liked' your local emergency scanner on Facebook (most cities/areas have one). Ours is called DFW scanner and it tells you about all the emergency stuff going on in the area. Cool.
• Well, it looks like we are finally getting some cold weather. It's only the middle of November.
• We DO need at least 3 days of sold below 20 tempatures this Winter, otherwise we will be overrun with bugs again. The grasshopper plague this year was BAD.

Friday Thoughts

• What can I say... against all logic this nation re-hired the worst employee of all time.
• All of Washington is the problem with this nation. The President is the biggest target but it is all of those power hungry people up there. They don't want to loose their power and will do whatever it takes to keep it.
• At this point we can only hope the Federal government will collapse under it's own weight and the State governments will step in to run things until sense and order return.
• All that has to happen is that China says 'enough is enough' and stops loaning us money and requires repayment. The shit will truly hit the fan when it does.
• I will try to move on from this point, but it will be hard.
• At the end of the day all that matters to me is how well someone performs in their job. I assumed that the louse in the White House would be evicted for poor performance but the US doesn't care about that any more. We are truly lost then.

Wednesday Thoughts

• Yep, it's Halloween time.. that means you have to watch this bit of GREATNESS!
• I am 99.9% sure that the delay in California's jobs numbers (right after the 2nd Presidential debate) was totally rigged.
• I am 99.9% sure that the jobs numbers will be delayed again on Friday because of the storm.
• That with the magic reduction in the price of gas leads me to believe that this election is totally rigged.
• I remember saying that Obama was campaigning like he was a candidate and not an incumbent and it STILL appears that way.
• So now according to the major polling companies (Rasmussen and Gallup) Romney is in the lead. Just last week the left was touting these polls as being a true representation of how the election would play out. I wonder what they think now?
• Now on to darker thoughts...
• If Obama is re-elected I am confident that the Federal Government will collapse in on itself through over spending. I don't see this as effecting the states all that much. I for one will be looking forward to this. Perhaps we can put things right and be responsible and put Government in it's rightful place.
