It’s already Wednesday, having Monday off has thrown me for a total loop. But I am one step closer to Friday so I reckon I’ll just shut my trap and go with it.

The other night I went with The Hotness’s daughter and her friend to play pool at a billiards room here in Tucson. While we were there a girl who was wearing an outfit I wouldn’t even let near my body (and that’s saying something) was playing pool with her boyfriend. At first I didn’t pay much mind to them but then something caught my eye. She had one of those Bluetooth things stuck in her head and wore it the whole 6 hours we were there. Lil’ Miss. Bluetooth would constantly futz with her hair on the side of her BT in a very showy way in what I thought was to make sure everyone around saw it.

And of course we all did. I’m sure she got a nice sense of self satisfaction when she busted me staring at her as her back got a little straighter and a weird smirk crossed her face. But if she would have known what I was thinking in my head I’m pretty sure she wouldn’t have felt quite so high on the hog at that moment. Now I’m sorry folks but how fucking important are you to walk around a very loud and very smoky pool hall at 11 o’clock at night with a phone attached to your head flipping your hair away from it every two seconds? While playing pool? And of course making sure everyone notices.

Seriously, give me a break. And god forbid if whatever call you are so anxiously awaiting is so important then your ass should be back home where it’s quiet or in…hell…I dunno a coffee shop. The whole time we were there she didn’t get one call. My cell phone was ringing off the hook buried somewhere in my purse but after 8pm I don’t touch that sucker with a ten foot pole. And I’m also not taking it out and waving it in the faces of everyone in the room. But to each his own right?

Troll- One who posts a deliberately provocative message to a newsgroup, blog, or message board with the intention of causing maximum disruption and argument.

I guess I’m pretty lucky, for as long as I’ve been online (going on 10 years now) I’ve never had a troll of my own. Here at AIS I can count the number of random anon-asshole comments left on one hand. The emails I get about my language and various other bullshit isn’t extremely large in volume but I’d have to say that it’s the closest thing to trolls I have ever had thus far in my time bloggin’. Usually a well worded reply concluded with a verbose “Go fuck yourself.” shuts the email senders right up and those have never escalated into huge public issues. Other times I just ignore them, everyone has a red X on their window…it’s amazing how many people still don’t know how to use it. *rolls eyes*

Many bloggers I know have trolls that literally plague their sites. Some bloggers just brush them off while others get so bogged down by the negative that is thrown at them they simply close up shop and leave the interwebs altogether. Personally I really don’t know how I’d respond if I was to acquire a real troll here. And I’m hoping I never have to find out. But it got me to wondering:

Have you ever had a troll on your blog?
If so, how did you react/respond to your troll?
What made your troll finally leave?

Picture this, you’re driving down the Interstate doing about 80mph in the left lane, traffic is pretty light. Suddenly, someone rushes up behind you and tails your ass like they want you to get over in the right lane so they can get by. So you do the right thing and move over but as soon as you do they crawl up to your rear passenger door and just hang there. Forever.

Pretty soon slower traffic appears in the right lane and you need to get back over but can’t because Hurry Pants McHoverDick is staying paced with your back door regardless of your turn signals and trying to speed up faster than them to get around ‘em.

So why is it that once you finally have to slow down to avoid hitting the cars in front of you and you’re side by side with whatever clown is driving they get all sorts of offended looking when you flip them off and mouth “learn how to drive asshat”? Fucktards.

It was a busy weekend for us all. The Granbaby turned three yesterday and we helped her celebrate with plenty of food, toys and a killer cake. She in turn picked her nose for us:

Later on that same day I decided since she looked so cute with her finger stuffed up her nose I’d give it a shot myself:

Obviously photographic evidence proves I’m not anywhere as cute as her during a good pick…feel free to send me the bill for your therapy session after seeing that.

So, I’m now totally convinced that good things come in threes. First I was dubbed feature blogger, then we had the great bday par-tay for the munchkin, finally today I came home to find out that I won the Best Non-Fiction Writing award for my posts during the Blogathon! *happy dance here* Thank you guys who nominated me and thank you to the panel for voting for me…y’all rock the cabbash! I was up against some really great blogs so it’s a total mind blow to actually win

I know there was supposed to be a Yandy post with the new goodies I got this weekend. But between the party and trying to wade through asstons of email it didn’t get done in time *shame on me*. Hopefully tomorrow I can get my act together and write it up.

Well here’s a good one for ya, Mexico is gonna legalize “small amounts of drugs for personal use” (we’re talkin more than just weed folks…can you say heroin, LSD and ecstasy?). All their gov’t. needs now is El Presidente Fox’s signature on the bill. His offices are saying he’s going to give it the thumbs up. They say this is so their law enforcement can focus on busting the “big guys”. I’m still trying to figure out how legalizing it is going to be any help…I figure just keep it illegal and switch focus onto the big guys…I just can’t seem get the big picture into focus though.

Isn’t that cute? Mexico is now going to make it OK for drug addicts to continue their abuse without any prevention or reprimand– just a hop skip and a jump away from our unsecured borders where *gasp* Americans (and American children) can freely come and go. I smell a time-bomb just waiting to explode here.

Guess what the White House has to say?

“The Bush administration had no immediate reaction.”

Instead we’ll get a delayed reaction that will only make matters worse as seems to be the m.o. for the folks up there in Warshintin’. They are all probably too busy sitting in the Oval Office reading “My Pet Goat” or figuring out new ways to invade more countries in the name of “fighting terror”. Never mind the inconsequential detail that now, not only will we have illegal aliens flooding into our country as before, but they are able to get blown, high, tweaked, stoned or tripped out of their minds before comin’ on over here and it’s A-OK with their gov’t. *sigh*

What country is left that doesn’t suck ass and isn’t a terrorist threat to Bush?
I’d like to go there now please.

I don’t want to insult anyone’s intelligence here so please if you already knew this stuff just go on about your evening as you had planned. I’m a lil’ PMS-y.

Ahem.

IF YOU ARE DRIVING SLOW, KEEP YOUR FUCKING VEHICLE IN THE RIGHT LANE!!

THAT’S WHAT THIS FUCKING SIGN IS ALL ABOUT:

If you are speaking Spanish to me and I’m saying “NO COMPRENDO” raising your voice will not make me understand you!

ALL I HEAR IS REALLY LOUD SPANISH I STILL DON’T COMPRENDO.
LEARN FUCKING ENGLISH.

Ahem.

Do NOT try to impress or stump me with what you believe to be a witty blonde joke. I’ve heard them ALL. And here’s a little fact you stupid fat fucker….my IQ is higher than your body weight. I’m not amused.

Ahem.

Well I feel better now! Have a great weekend y’all!
