Fun with the Apocalypse

Posted on January 23, 2009 by benjamin67

 
Who said the end of the world would not be fun.
 
According to people at my parents’ church, Barack Obama is the anti-Christ.  Thank goodness!  All of the other anti-Christs from my childhood were so mean.  Henry Kissinger was kind of grumpy.  Nixon was too evil.  Clinton was too messy (especially on blue dresses).  Michael Jackson [...]

And the winner is…

Posted on November 3, 2008 by benjamin67

So I really intended to write about politics today.  Then I read a friends blog.  Someone who commented on his entry made a comment that I have heard all my life.  For the sake of argument, I will boil down the sentiment being expressed:  God is a Republican. 
I think I have been fairly honest about [...]

The Ick Factor…rated G for Gross

Posted on November 1, 2008 by benjamin67

Halloween was great…blah blah blah.
 
So this morning, I was doing the “procedure” with my spawn, when the catheter came out of his rear.  This is a bad thing.  Trust me.  One word sums it up spray.
 
Sooooo I was a little grossed out (trust me on this…I am not easily grossed out).  Luckily my wife was [...]

Mindless Rant

Posted on September 25, 2008 by benjamin67

 

 
I am confused!!!
 
I am the lead test engineer on a couple of projects at work.  The one currently in focus is going to employ a team of 3 testers for a year.  My budget is $343,650 for the whole enchilada (salaries, benefits and overhead).  Before I am allowed to spend any money, I have to [...]

I Strongly Believe

Posted on August 30, 2008 by benjamin67

I had a friend my first year of college that prefaced almost every statement with, “I strongly believe.”  The older I get the less this sentiment resonates with me.  In my twenties, I was dogmatic about a lot of things.  Chief among my strong beliefs were my views on faith and politics.  On both points, [...]

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Posted on August 24, 2008 by benjamin67

OK, here is the monster who has been vexing me all of vacation.  I finally passed the kidney stone…Saturday…3 hours before checkout.  Look at this beast!  It has a barb! 
 
 
 

 
 
I should not complain.  I had decent pain meds.  I was able to enjoy most of my vacation.  Although I did have moments of excruciating [...]

Would you buy a used car from this man?

Posted on May 8, 2008 by benjamin67

 

 
I have always been a square peg in the round hole of faith.  If I lived 1000 years ago I would be burned at the stake.  That is OK, I like barbeque.
 
Yesterday I got an email from a customer who works at a Christian University in Lakeland Florida (yes, that one).  She was asking for [...]

On Fecal Residue and the Fate of Humanity

Posted on May 2, 2008 by benjamin67

 
One of my all time pet peeves is guys who do not wash their hands after going to the toilet.  It ticks me off that after I have washed my hands, I have to touch a door handle that some cretin has left his crap remnants on.  WASH YOUR FRIGGIN’ HANDS!
 
On the other hand…a gold [...]
