And here I sit, feeling ReTodded

No, not actually FEELING ReTodded. Just stupid.

I took a Lortab last night because Frankentoe was pissing me off quite a bit, and I put the bottle away.

Only I don’t know where it is.

Seriously.

I’ve looked top to bottom in every cabinet in the kitchen. I looked in my bathroom in every drawer and cabinet. I looked in the couches, end tables, the basement, my car, my backpack and even my super secret hiding places.

And before Avitable asks, I also looked in my ass. I found a gerbil skeleton wrapped loosely in duct tape, some car keys, a map of Belize, the Bose in-ear headphones I lost a year ago, my old student ID card and a still-sealed pack of Orville Redenbacher Movie Theater butter flavored popcorn.

But no Lortab.

I’m at a loss. Where do YOU think my Lortab is?

Dialog, Part 1

In honor of my friend CMGD, I’m blatantly stealing this blog entry category type.  Thanks 5Heather!

Here’s a conversation GBD had with Thing Two today that she informed me of via google chat:

Thing Two walks in while carrying her purse and says "Mommy, wanna see my magic puss?"

GBD:  um..excuse me? Thing Two:  My puss…it’s magic.

GBD to herself:  (well, I’m going to tentatively say yes while squinting my eyes).

GBD out loud:  Really? (now terrified)

Thing Two:  It can do ANYTHING!!  And if you’re really quiet, I’ll show you inside where  it does even more. GBD:  To herself and the Lord (Now blind, deaf and banging head on wall - begging God to take back the last 30 seconds of my life)

GBD to me:  In Thing Two’s defense, she did have a handful of change in there.  Sorry you missed it. But maybe if you’re lucky (and apparently quiet) she’ll show you too.

GBD to me:  I’m going to sneak away now before she starts showing me more "tricks."

a story from the wayback machine

People often ask me what my wife is like (if they haven’t met her). I say, she’s sarcastic, far funnier than me, and you wouldn’t need me anymore if you met her.

In honor of that, I’m gonna tell you a story that everyone (especially GBD) loves to hear.

okay. One day, many years ago before we had kids, we were lounging away a Saturday after a Friday night in Buckhead, and we’re laying on the couches and watching TV.

Anyway, around noon or so I get up and head out to check the mail.

I then come back in, flop down, hit the couch again and resume watching television.

Several hours later, I got up, headed outside and checked the mail. When i came in she said "What were you doing?"

I replied "Checking the mail."

She returned with "You did that three hours ago, dumbass."

I was scorched. Hurt even. I said "Hey, that really wasn’t nice. You ought to apologize."

She took a pause, then replied "Okay. I’m sorry you’re such a dumbass."

That’s GBD ladies and gentlemen.

I’m standing up again

But this time I will probably end up with no comments or some pretty crabby ones, as my position on today’s topic isn’t particularly popular.

Today I’m standing up about welfare specifically and government "assistance" in general, and I will use Hurricane Katrina for some stark examples.

You surely heard about the ninth ward during hurricane Katrina in 2005. Many people killed throughout the Gulf Coast, many homes destroyed, etc.

But before I do that, I’m gonna throw a few items of interest about Katrina at you just to set the stage a bit.

First off, you’d believe that the failed levy / levies were right on top of the ninth ward. But you’d be wrong. The areas immediately around the levies are relatively nice neighborhoods that have since been rebuilt and are inhabited by the home owners.

The ninth ward is almost four miles from the failed levy. Conversely, almost nothing is rebuilt. At all. It’s not much different than the day a week after it was all over and the water was gone.

Secondly, you have to remember that the levy failed almost three days after the hurricane hit. It wasn’t like the storm showed up and an hour later the city was flooded. People had nearly 72 hours to do something…anything, to save themselves.

Why do I tell you these things?

Because this storm managed to show everything that’s wrong the Government assistance and welfare programs.

I decided to talk about this today because my parents just returned from a week of vacation that included delivering some books and supplies to an elementary school in New Orleans’ famous (or infamous) ninth ward.

The students were very happy to receive the supplies. The teacher was elated. And she told my parents stories about how the parents of the students aren’t interested in their children’s educations and that they don’t attend conferences and meetings with the teachers.

The teacher also talked about how terrible it was to have had to live in a FEMA trailer for over three years.

Also, my parents noted that the elementary school was downstairs and the middle school was upstairs. Upstairs they had metal detectors and school guards with firearms.

And yet not a single politician can see the correlation between single parent homes, welfare, poor educations, crime, etc? Really?

And where the FEMA trailers are concerned, anytime I hear anyone bitch about how long they lived in a free FEMA trailer it makes my blood boil.

Why?

Because you were homeless. You had nothing. Not even a refrigerator box. And the government let you live in a camper. For free. FOR THREE FUCKING YEARS! And yet you’re complaining? How is that even possible?

I don’t want to talk about whether or not you think the government failed these people. The government DID fail these people, but not in the wake of the hurricane. The government has been failing these same people for nearly eighty years.

How?

Simple.

By having generation after generation of citizens of this country being rewarded for and receiving money in exchange for producing nothing and not participating in their own existence or in society at all beyond just checking the mail and hitting the check cashing store. In fact, we have actually managed to take away their survival instincts or even their most basic instincts of self preservation.

How dare I say this, you say?

The Democrats figured out long ago that the best way to get elected was to promise people something for nothing and further, expand the programs that operate on this premise.

Don’t want to work? Here’s some money. Don’t want to marry the father(s) of your children? Here’s some money. Don’t want to stop having children out of wedlock? Here’s some more money.

The Republicans also give people tax breaks and loopholes, but those people are generally the people that are building, contributing and participating actively in society.

The fact that there were tens of thousands of people in New Orleans who either simply wandered to the Superdome or ignored evacuation orders altogether speaks volumes. There were roads and bridges they could have walked on to leave the area. They didn’t.

Why?

Because they didn’t know how.

What does it say about a "social" program if that program renders its users completely helpless and inept and unable to protect or defend themselves?

The opposite of that occurred on May 25, 2008 in Parkersburg, Iowa.

A tornado touched down on the southwest end of this 1,900-person town and stayed down for 34 seconds, by one account. It spun mercilessly eastward until it knocked down 220 houses, 22 businesses, City Hall and Aplington-Parkersburg High School. Eight people died, and students from the school have helped dig their graves.

The people of this town stood up, brushed themselves off, and rebuilt their homes, their businesses and their lives. FEMA didn’t show up with trailers. No one sat on their porches doing nothing and crying "Woe is me! Where is the government to save me?" They took action.

Why? Because it was theirs. They had a reason. The people of the ninth ward and countless other places stricken with poverty that bitch about crime, poor schools, lack of investment in the community, etc. had no such reason to get up and fight. They weren’t losing anything that they’d sweated, bled or cried to build or create. They simply got for doing nothing.

I know many young people that got cars from their parents and many that bought their own cars. Do you know which ones take better care of their vehicles?

The ones that bought them.

Why?

Because they appreciate the value of the work it took to reach that goal.

I simply cannot fathom huge segments of our society simply content to keep not working, keep having kids they can’t afford to support and that they don’t care enough about to educate or even teach right and wrong, and keep simply sitting and bitching about what everyone else hasn’t done for them.

That may work when things are going great in our society and the general public has a charitable heart. But in times like these when hard working people are losing their jobs and homes, it’s tough to give a crap about folks who don’t care enough about themselves to do FOR themselves.

And before you jump me for being racist, I’m not picking on the ninth ward. I’m talking about all areas of our country where people refuse to participate in their own survival.

What do you think?

Come closer kiddies. FRT’s got a secret

I just finished some research (at FoxNews) and I’ve uncovered some exciting news.  But you have to promise not to tell anyone.

Thanks to my diligence, you will now know the all of the secret celebrity beach body tips.

That’s right.  I’m about to enlighten you with words from Heaven.  Or Hollywood.  Wait.  Aren’t they the same?

Anyway, here are the tips and their author (with some commentary from me).

Eva Longoria : "I always get a good bikini wax and I always spray tan before I go to the beach. Its really key, not only because it acts as a sunblock but you look better in a bikini when you’re already tan."

So Eva Longoria, a woman so hot that my friend Dann would like to make sun tea with her panties, relies on spray tan and a good bikini wax?  I have news for you Eva.  You could have a bush the size of this afro:

muff city

And dudes would still think you were hot.  Shut up.

Kristin Cavallari : "I hit the gym and get a tan - being tan makes you look skinnier! I also watch my diet. During the week I’m pretty good but then Saturday and Sunday I eat whatever I want, but as long as I get back on it Monday I’m okay."

Hey Kristin, I know that you think being tan makes you look skinnier, but SO DOES BEING FUCKING SKINNY!!  You must have left out the "Then I vomit up what I ate on Saturday and Sunday."

(Sports Illustrated cover girl) Marisa Miller : "Skin is huge and there are so many great bronzers. Self tanners were a little funky ten years ago but the color is a lot better now. That’s the most important thing, if you have a little glow it really hides imperfections - bruises, spider veins, we all have little cellulite. That’s the best tip I can give, when you have that glow and you’re moisturized the light hits you in a different way. Especially after winter we have really dry skin it’s important to exfoliate, moisturize and do a self-tanner."

After I stopped masturbating, I re-read that and said "Cellulite?  Really?  We all do?  Where’s yours?  In some giant jar where you keep your dead fat great grandmother in formaldahyde?  That’s the only cellulite you have."

Shannen Doherty : "The only thing I do is take care of my body. I do a scrub, lotion and lots of sunblock. I don’t diet."

And you also avoid the painful aging that results from being under the hot lights on tv and movie sets by not working, right?

Joanna Krupa : "I am not the gym-rat type so I looked for something to keep me in bikini shape without constant training and I found Powerplate! It’s amazingly effective - I hit it once a week and it takes care of everything, it’s Hollywood’s best kept secret."

Once a week?  Really?  I don’t know what Powerplate is, but I’m guessing it’s a salad and about three eight-balls of cocaine on Friday.  That’s the only way any once a week regimen could work.

Tara Conner : "Wear a bathing suit that is totally comfortable, you don’t want to be playing with it all the time or having it slip. You have to feel comfortable to feel confident and look your best."

So my baggy cargo shorts with my dunlop over the top are the way to go, huh?  That’s good to know, as that’s all I’m planning on wearing.

Kimberly Caldwell : "I try to work out at least 4 or 5 times a week, I do cardio, running, weights and I really try to eat healthy. It is hard for me to stay away from McDonalds. The fries at McDonalds and ice cream. dipping the fries in the McFlurry, its trashy I know. But closer to summer, it is salads and chicken."

At least she’s honest.  But still dumb.  Everyone knows that the best fry-shake combination is the Wendy’s original Frosty with Wendy’s Fries.  That shit rocks.  I’m guessing that if I worked out four to five times a week for a month, I’d look even more awesome than I do.

AnnaLynne McCord : "First and foremost love the skin you’re in no matter what. Look in the mirror and say ‘I love you love you love you’. Then do yoga, that’s my thing. I like hiking too. Then a good spray tan - just don’t go out the day of, I learned the hard way on that one."

Not much to add except fuck you AnnaLynne McCord.  It’s easy to love the skin you’re in when you have an ass that you can bounce a quarter off of.  I do too, but regular folks can’t understand that.  Try a little humility next time.

Bethenny Frankel : "The only rule you cannot break is do not binge. Eat more high volume foods, have soups and pureed vegetables, eat a salad first even if you want something fattening. Order two appetizers instead of an entree and leave a little food on your plate."

While I disagree on the binging (since that’s how I truly feel love), I’m down with the rest of her plan.  Except for pureed vegetables, soups, and salad first.  I love the two appetizer idea though.  That sets up a nice bed for the 16 ounce ribeye.

Samantha Harris : "I stay in shape all year-round. I try to get the perfect balance between fat, carbs and protein for energy and eat every 2-3 hours. I love exercise and I try to change it up everyday and do lots of different classes at Equinox and then I do things like running up the Santa Monica steps with my baby. I’ve also just started getting into Bikram yoga which is so amazing, you get to stretch and sweat out those toxins.

God bless you Samantha.  I’m gonna take you up on that.  While working 10 hours a day, I will find time to eat every two hours (perfectly balancing protein and carbs), many classes at the gym, running steps and then also taking Bikram Yoga.  DFACS will take my kids, but I’ll look even more amazing than I do already.

Angie Harmon : "I’ve got to get on a treadmill and do some weight training soon! I don’t diet because I’m breast feeding, but normally yes I would (for summer)."

Not much to say here but that I got a bit doughy when she said breast feeding.

Debra Messing : "I run after my son a lot. I try to eat really good organic fruits and vegetables and just try to eat only when I’m hungry.

I run after our kids a lot too.  But organic = expensive and when you factor in that I don’t give a crap about pesticides and preservatives.  Further, I’m always hungry.  You suck.

Jennifer Coolidge : "I just wear a lot of makeup. When I say to those actresses ‘you look really incredible, what are you doing?’ they never tell you. I’m like come on! I know there’s some inside crap that they’re doing, and I know there’s Botox, but there’s even a more inside thing going on… Only a few actresses know what it is. My thing is just wear makeup

Jennifer is funny and honest and has big cans.  So she’s my big winner even if she goes swimming in overalls.

I hope that this has been both informative and helpful.  I know I’ll never look at Eva Longoria’s crotch the same way again.

All my best,

FRT
