Cats and Dogs... The Political side.

Hiya all!, I am a shiny new contributor to the blog! All shall love me and Despair! JK!

Today I was playing around on a game and I received a little message from a friend. Upon reading it I was rather disturbed...

It's just dawned on me !!

My dog sleeps about 20 hours a day.
He has his food prepared for him. He can eat whenever he wants.
His meals are provided at no cost to him.
He visits the Dr. once a year for his checkup, and again during the year if any medical needs arise.
For this he pays nothing, and nothing is required of him.
He lives in a nice neighborhood in a house that is much larger than he needs, but he is not required to do any upkeep.
If he makes a mess, someone else cleans it up.
He has his choice of luxurious places to sleep.
He receives these accommodations absolutely free.
He is living like a King, and has absolutely no expenses whatsoever.
All of his costs are picked up by others who go out and earn a living every day.
I was just thinking about all this, and suddenly it hit me like a brick .......
I think my dog is a Democrat!

To this I promptly replied...

my cat demands everything be done for him. He steps on everyone, treats everyone like they are his slaves and I think he is paid off by big animals outside the house to spill trash on everything... I think my Cat is Republican.

I am curious though... If cats are Republicans and Dogs are Democrats... What would the Independent Party be??? I mean I figure a 3 toed sloth would be the Green Party. I suppose it would be something elusive... Like a Bigfoot or something.

Just Plain Wrong: Ubuntu Edition

Normally Genuine Windows is Just Plain Wrong by itself...

...but then watch the vid! I lol'd, even though it's a year old.

I wonder if you can still do that...

Today needs moar lulz

Mister Prime Idiot is at it again!

Hi Viatologists,

After careful consideration, access to the Worldwide Highway Library from
the Vatican City State (212.77.0.0/19) is tentatively and hereby denied.
All registered users in this IP address block will need to find an alternate
source or seek another IP address in neighbouring Rome.

...So now he hates Catholics? I normally can't stand the filth that comes from the Vatican every other week, but banning them? Troll, though he may be, CalBog's got balls. (In the same sense as one might say a woman has balls, not in the sense of actually possessing a pair, mind you.)

Then again, this act of his elicited three responses, so maybe he was only trying to break the Cone. We all know that the Vatican considers teh intarwebz as witchcraft.*

...Nah. He can't be that crafty!

Lulz from MTR

I've read (with enjoyment) Mr. Yamamoto's "The Experience" for a few days now, and some of the funniest posts in there are when he starts trashing someone he calls "CalBog" - basically a disliked, trollish "viatologist" who posts in MTR, annoying the piss out of people along the way. Well, CalBog just posted again, and he must be desperate for pageviews or something. Today, he's posted an update to his site for "Ruta Federal 2" (Mexican Federal Highway 2) videos.

"Hola viatolicos mexicanos,
¡Buenos días! Hoy, la Worldwide Highway Library (WHL) tenga una nueva
fotografía "Virtual 360" de la Ruta Federal 2:"

(link would go here... but not on MY blog...)

"Si quiere verla, necessita Apple Quicktime."

I wonder if he's thinking he can get through the Wall of Silence by posting in Spanish? Anyway, right there, you see one of MY gripes against the guy - he's desperately trolling for pageviews, but he's rabidly anti-Linux. Plus, it's a Mexican Federal Highway, not a Mexican Federal Route.

Highway = Autopista
Ruta = Route

Next!

"Ruta 2 tenga dos ramas a Chihuahua. La rama secundaria se conecta a Palomas y la rama primaria. Use la rama primaria para los viajes entre Juárez y el estado de Sonora. La WHL tenga los mejores fotografias y las mejores vídeos de las Americas."

Let's see what that translates to...

"Route 2 has two branches in Chihuahua. The secondary branch connects to Palomas and the primary branch. Use the primary branch for travel between Juarez and the state of Sonora."

Uhm, OK. I can get that from Wikipedia. At least his Español isn't as crap as his Français. Next!

"The WHL has the best photographs and videos of the Americas."

This I doubt. I've read real roadgeek sites in my life. I could probably do better than our friend here if all I had to work with was a machine running Windows 98 and some poor B&W scans.

All in all, massive lulz.
