Several people have emailed me the link to this game.

My best score was about 43 seconds.

I challenge Difster and Bubblehead to beat my score.

I’ve added a little something to the sidebar, it’s right below my Blogroll.
It’s a list of ‘Real Men Essays’ that I read recently.
I think they are important enough to keep them easily available.

I’m probably preaching to the choir.

Check ‘em out:

If you don’t know the facts, you’ll fall for anything:

“…It is ironic that, in preparing a story that seeks to make the point that judges should be held to high standards of ethical integrity, ABC itself broke the law by trespassing on private property and invading the privacy of private individuals who did not give permission to be videotaped. Indeed, ABC contacted the hotel for permission to film the Society’s activities, and permission was denied by hotel management…”

Power Line: Tripping up on junk

UPDATE: The Washington Times has more:
…”But delivering lectures and running seminars are another story. Unless anyone is prepared to argue that Supreme Court justices shouldn’t be lecturing to legitimate legal associations for legitimate professional purposes, it cannot be argued that justices should pay their own way, since that effectively kills the practice.
We would think the greater danger — and the greater loss to the American legal profession — would be some misguided set of overly strict rules that deprives legitimate legal associations of contact with justices.
ABC News took a prefabricated line about “judicial junkets” and tried to shoehorn Justice Scalia’s professional activities into it. That’s a shame, especially with all the great judicial stories to be had right now. Federalist Society President Eugene Meyer has asked ABC News to investigate, but he probably won’t be holding his breath. Neither will we…”

Ted over at Geek Soap Box had this intelligence test on his blog.

I got 30 out of 33, without using Google or any outside help.

I’m predicting my readers will all do well on this test. Especially Michael and Sobek and those other smarty-pants-lawyer-type dudes and dudettes.

I couldn’t figure out numbers: 28, 30 or 31 so you might want to start there just to show me up.

Let me know in the comments, how many you got right.

UPDATE: Mrs. Geezer got #30 right.

I’m going to go out on a limb and guess that the majority of visitors to my blog are not Liberals. Therefore, most of you probably don’t frequent The Huffington Post.
Greg Gutfeld is their “Token Conservative”, he is a good writer with a clever way of putting things.

You should check out his post, plus you get to see how the Typical Moonbats react in the comment section:

…”Marking Sunday’s anniversary of the 33-year-old Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision, Planned Parenthood has launched a magazine targeting ‘choicers’ to be given out at clinics across the country.
‘This new magazine will reflect the growing concerns and needs of women in the child-nonbearing age group,’ says Melody Barron, a spokesperson…”

Here’s a cute little video about a Perfect Car for Women.

I bet you watch it more than once.

It’s a little 1.5 meg download.

Assume you’re a robber. Assume you’re an idiot. Those statements were redundant.

If you’re going to rob a convenience store, you probably should retain your weapon until you’re done.

Hooded winter jacket with large inside pocket to conceal identity and carry gun: $65.00

9mm Handgun purchased from Big Ray up the block: $150.00

Failure to master proper weapon retention during your planned armed robbery: PRICELESS

H/T Parson Colt.

Adrienne emailed this video to me. It’s pretty amazing.

It’s about a 5 meg download.

Most of you know that I’m an ex-Lightman from Vegas.

You might get a kick of something I wrote about 10 years ago.

It’s meant to be humorous but it’s all true… well most of it anyway.

10 Commandments for Spotlight Operators

The picture is the Light Booth at Bally’s Casino Resort. Can you believe all the light boards crammed in there? I don’t think I can even remember all the names but here goes:
ETC Obsession
Animator
Navigator
Ross-American
Berkey Channel Track
ETC Expression
This is all stacked on top of the Kleigl board (sliders to the left).
Plus either my Commodore-64 or my PC.
I think this is before I got the Whole-Hog II (made by Flying Pig).

Doug M. is one of the frequent commenters at SondraK’s blog.

Somehow I saw this photo of him. I showed it to Mrs. Geezer and she said “Who took that picture of you?”

Several people have thought the same thing.

I thought it would be fun to match Doug’s photo with a photo of me.

Guess which one is me.

SondraK put up a really cool Rollover, check it out.

Actually it looks like one of those goofy races that they have at big picnics.

We have a lot of different birds in Idaho. We don’t have Mockingbirds like we did in Las Vegas but we have some pretty interesting songbirds and brightly colored finches. Not to mention the mated pair of Red-Tailed Hawks that live out in the field.

We also have a zillion Starlings. Most everybody I’ve talked to despises them. They are noisy and messy.

They pick big trees to roost in for the night. In the morning they all swarm out and go …Somewhere… I’m not sure where. This morning I stood outside in the frosty air for a solid 2 minutes, and watched them pass by in a steady stream as they headed south. There were literally thousands. They reminded me of those schooling fishes that you see on the National Geographic channel.

This afternoon when they returned to the roosting trees, I was ready with the camera.

First a small group landed on the powerlines by the neighbors house. They totally covered the lines and the upper crossmember.

Then they all went down to the trees, in the pasture to the north. The last two pictures give you an idea of how they make the trees look dark with all their bodies.

Now, I know we’ve all heard of people being eaten by snakes and I bet most of us have said, “If a snake tried to eat me, I’d blah, blah, blah and get away. Well, this is a Python and they’re extremely aggressive and have a few teeth that they use to hold their prey while they wrap around them and then constrict.

Could you get away if this one bit you and held on with it’s “few teeth?”
Note: the wires are 10 inches apart.

Governor Dirk Kempthorne, in his State of the State address wants to send $50 to every resident.
Guess who’s against it? Surprise, it’s the Democrats.

“…Kempthorne told some emotional stories about Idahoans who were having difficulty paying bills.
There’s about $214 million in extra state revenue right now.

In his address to the lawmakers, Kempthorne estimated giving $50 back to nearly every state resident would cost about $63 million.

Good news for law and order advocates.
I wonder if Chili will be on the menu in prison.

“…A Nevada couple who cooked up a scheme to plant a severed finger in a bowl of Wendy’s chili to extort money from the fast food chain were sentenced Wednesday to lengthy prison terms.

Anna Ayala, 40, who said she bit into the finger, was sentenced to nine years in state prison.
Her husband, Jaime Plascencia, 44, who supplied the finger, was ordered locked up for more than a dozen years….”

Nev. Pair Sentenced in Chili Finger Case:

In a related story:
“…She later withdrew the claim as scrutiny of her find grew. Investigators found that she had filed numerous legal claims against businesses in her name or for her children.

Mark Steyn – Excellent and funny as usual:

“…Even smear tactics require a certain plausibility. When you damn someone as a big scary mega-troubling racist misogynist homophobe and he seems to any rational observer perfectly non-scary and non-troubling, eventually you make yourself ridiculous.
The boy who cried ‘Wolf!’ at least took the precaution of doing so when there was no alleged predator in view.
If he’d stood there crying ‘Wolf!’ while pointing at a hamster, he’d have been led away for counseling. That’s the stage the Senate Democrats are at…”
