The Dude Abides ....Man

Thanksgiving, Christmas…it’s as good a blog topic as any
We all love em…well I love them...food, family, and friends…..food.
More food

…………………….Did I mention the food.

As I get older I suppose I have come to appreciate that were are still able to get 40 people together to eat the massive amount of food provided and make merry, or that there’s people out there that seem to like me enough to give me gift cause Jesus was born. Holidays are no longer about how much stuff I can get or food I can eat like they were when I was young (though that’s still a factor. They now closely reflect the traditional concepts of friends family and good times. I'm....glad i still can have these moments and there are people around me to share them with me. However there is a part of me that if acutely aware that since me and my wife have decided to not have kids, one day, our holidays are going to be much quieter and much less….people-y. This is …a little sad to me. Moment of quiet-ness for that please.
Anyway


Hey Neeeeeew statue to order
Ow it burns my eyes.

Let’s review this character. When I was young I had the option of 2 franchises to follow. Transformers and GI Joe. Now…I can love one and like the other but I can’t love em both cause I could only get toys for one of them. Liking the concept more I chose to lay my allegiance with GI Joe. And since I was both immature for longer than most but still chained to the throws of puberty like all young overly hormonal teenagers I found myself still embroiled in the fantasy world of GI Joe when girls went from being icky to interesting. Now let’s review The Baroness’s high points. Hot librarian look, check, skin tight leather, check, ability to shoot guns, check, high heels check. Mix well, put in a shallow pan and bake on 400 degrees for 1 hour. Masturbation fodder….........check.

Hi grandma

While real girls were certainly very interesting, Part of mind locked onto the girls of my favorite cartoon and toy line. Lady Jaye, Scarlett, Baroness…hell even Zarana had some finer points to consider, right? And to this day they still represent my earliest and fondest "Good times girls" And now they go make ¼th scale version of my favorite ladies of my youth. Please Sideshow, here’s my money, I apologize for not giving it you earlier.


My 52" Samsung DLP TV died. Well to be accurate I believe the lamp in my My 52" Samsung DLP TV finally burned out. It has been coming for some time. The interesting part of this is not that with TV gone, my wife and I have rediscovered our love of the outdoors and wine and cheese and friends and it has rekindled our love into a roaring fire or burning passion or we have discovered how much we love our worthless hobbies now that we are free of the shackling bondage of "The TV". That’s stupid...don’t be stupid.....dumbass
What I discovered is my almost knee jerk reaction to the situation.

TV playing
Warren cooking
TV…just turns off
Warren suspiciously wanders over to see what going on and realized it has broken
Moment of confused silence
Warren thinks...”Hey I could buy a band new TV” :)

This is insanity. You know how much a replacement bulb cost. 140$. That’s it. There so easy to replace that I would trust my cat to do it….if my cat could take any direction besides
“GET OFF THE GODDAMNED COUNTER YOU WORTHLESS PEST!!!”
(And she doesn’t really do that well either)

It is that easy. And yet my brainwashed, consumer driven, must buy new crap even though I HAVE NO JOB brain decided, “let’s get a whole new 1600 dollar 1080p ultra-slim 240 hertz refresh rate, 3-d, 5 hdmi port, 4 usb port, computer port provided, internet ready, 69 inch smart LCD BEHEMOTH TV.” That’s not necessary. That’s completely unneeded. How is this a good idea in any country. You know what? Oh my god, TV has programmed me to buy more TVs.

That’s fucking insidious man!!!

Age Quod Agis.....Dumbass
