Probing Perspective
After reading the Tales from the Rabbit Hole, with all the aliens and innuendo of possible probing, my mind has started to wonder about some of these conspiracy theories. Especially the whole aliens among us / human-alien hybrids. Okay, if they are experimenting on people and trying to make a hybrid species, wouldn't it be logical to say that they might make a few 'mistakes' or end up with substandard results? My question is this, what are they doing with all these people? Are they just dumping them back into main stream society? It would kind of explain the influx of dumb asses around here. Droves of people wondering around with their brains made out of left over scraps or odds and ends from other experiments. Shit, if they are supposed to be so superior to us you think they would at least have a recycling progam. I got a couple extra bins if they need to borrow one or two, as long as they wash them out when they are done.Here's something else to ponder. Have you ever seen some of the people that have apparently been abducted. It's always some brain dead idiot or some one that married their first cousin. Personally, I don't think that would make for good breeding stock. Why don't they pilfer some brain cells from Steven Hawking. I think that might be a little more fruitful than snatching gray matter out of a trailer park. Hell, maybe their just trying to make a five-assed monkey of their own.
Another thing I wonder about is the probing and the implants. I can understand the implants for tracking purposes and data collection, but seriously how much ass probing do they need? Are they trying to find a cure for colon cancer? Is it a hemmroidal investigation? Do they really want to know who had corn for dinner? Do they not have assholes of their own? Or maybe they just decided to become entrepreneurs in the butt plug market. Testing out the prototypes, getting feedback from their focus groups. Trying to find out where their key demographics are. Yeah, some how I doubt that is what's going on. I'm gonna have to agree with the Kids in the Hall on this one.

This is the new remote control car JR got for me the other day. It's so kick ass. It will do wheelies when you accelerate it forward real fast.His tongue sticks out, his jaw drops and his eyes pop out of his head.Too top it all off it does this cackling laugh when you punch the gas.You can see the horror in the cats eyes when they hear it coming.I don't know what their problem is, daddy just whats to play.

New Toys
Today I got myself a new impact gun since my old one took a shit and won't even break loose the lug nuts on my truck. So I bought a ChicagoPneumatic 1/2" drive impact wrench. 425ft.-lbs. of torque. I got it on sale too. Regular price $100. Sale price 20% off. Actual price when it got rang up $69.99. Now there's a bonus. I was dismayed though to later discover that a product that I specifically sought out because it was made in the U.S., is now made in Japan. That kinda annoyed me. You see, I actually try buy American made products. I actually read the packaging to see where it was made or "imported from". The only way I'll buy foriegn shit is if there is absolutely no other way. You would be fuckin' stunned to realize how much shit isn't made here. Next time you go shopping for household items or tools try to see how much of it you can get that's made in this country. I'm betting it won't even be 1/3 of your list. I went to buy some compact fluorescent bulbs to replace some of our existing bulbs. Even those were either Made in China or 'imported'. What the fuck?! I can't even get a light bulb made in this country? What the hell do we make here anymore aside from Budwieser, McDonalds, and crack. Oh yeah, psychotic actors and shady politicians. Hell, even american cars are going to shit with new models having 5 or 6 recalls before ever leaving the dealership. I can here people crying already. "But, but, american made goods are too expensive." No shit. Suck it up. What country do you work in? You never know, that extra couple of bucks might save someones job. Maybe yours. That's another thing, the price difference usually isn't that much. For every 20 dollars you save 75 cents or maybe a dollar. Ooh, the savings. Seriously, how greedy can people get? That's how we got into this boat in the first place. Peolpe got greedier, then lazier and fatter. Yeah, you fuckers know who are. I've only got one thing to say to you. Shut up, put down the six pack , show up to your job, and DO SOME FUCKING WORK! Oh, and have a nice day.greasemonkey1320 at 5:38 AM

Or current resident
Most of the mail that I get is shit like bills and junk mail from the local cash store. Every month I look forward to getting the new issue of Carcraft or 4-Wheel and Offroad, which I read almost immediately 5 or 6 times through. Fortunately, for me, to tide me over until new issues arrive there are the sale flyers from all the local hardware stores and tool depots. The usual places like Menard's, Sears, and Lowe's have weekly flyers, but we have another store here called Harbor Freight. It's kind of a discount hardware store. Alot of shit that was made in China, off-brand tools, and other odd items. It's the "odd items" that concern me the most. Take this for an example. They have a wrench set for six bucks and hammers for 3 bucks. Seems pretty normal. A reasonable price for average tools. Here's where things start getting weird. A 110 volt jackhammer for $400? Okay, next page. A wooden wagon wheel for $20. Hmm, for some reason I don't think there really is that big of a market for those anymore. Now here is where I grow concerned. On sale, forty percent off, an electric razor for six bucks. For some reason I don't think I would feel safe putting that against my face. I don't think I'd do it at full price, much less at 40% off. I can feel the razor burn and ingrown hairs just thinking about it. I will admit though, they do have great bargians alot of the time. Like 10- 100' rolls of electrical tape for 2 bucks. I bought three. 100 grease rags for 6 bucks. Yep, got two bags of those. Rolls of duct tape, and 10 packs of 3" cut off wheels for $2.50, oh my! It's almost too much to try and contain myself. Then 'it' came in the mail. A catalog from a magical place. Now when I say "catalog" we're talking at least an inch thick. It's something like 500 pages of glorious, shiny tools. The high quality name brand shit. Ooh yeah, the good stuff. It reminded me of the old McMaster-Carr catalogs that I used to get from the maintenence man at work. That's a serious book of tools and parts. About 5 pounds of serious. Thousands of pages. They got shit that I've never even could have imagined. It makes me grin just thinking about it.greasemonkey1320 at 4:45 AM
