As someone who thinks that he knows something, I am deeply concerned about corporate dishonesty. A number of months ago the Walt Disney Company announced that they were coming out with a movie starring Hannah Montana/ Miley Cirus, that was only going to play for one week and one week only. Now to the dismay of this author, that film is going on its 3rd week.
I am not one to complain about people making money, that is the name of the game, but the fact is that if they said "one week and only one week" that means that. Don't give me the "held over by popular demand". You knew that the film is going to be popular. You are charging a galling $15 DOLLARS A ticket. If that is not highway robbery, then what is?
I am all for Miley Cirus or Hannah Montana, but after her family said that she is not going to end up like Jamie Lynn Spears, this fact really disturbes me. For one thing DON'T BE SO FUCKING GREEDY and tell Disney that they should only charge a $2.00 premium, because of the 3d and the cost of the glasses from China. But this $15 bull shit. Families are struggling, and ripping people off is not the American Way

VALENTINES DAY
This Thursday is Valentines Day. I can not believe that it has been 5 years since the big Valentines Flop. Most people know what happened but it is funny, everytime that I hear a talk show host read a commercial for a particular Teddy Bear Company, I start to laugh.
For those that do not know what happened, here is the abridged version. Mr O'Malley on Valentines Day gave 2 stuffed animals to 2 girls at his place of employment. That weekend there was a major blizzard and he had 2 extra days off from work. When he came back to work he got called into his supervisors office and was told that by giving "sensual" gifts to those that one really doesn't know is considered sexual harassment. The two girls reported the incident to the human resources department, and the shit hit the fan.
It was another supervisor, who is friendly with a morning talk show host who saved my ass. This particular supervisor called that host who brought the incident up on his airwaves. This attracted the attention of Glen Beck, who at the time was hosting his 9am to Noon nationally syndicated talk show out of the same studios. Glenn Beck talked about this story on his airwaves, and when those in Mr O'Malleys workplace heard about this, the charges of sexual harassment were thrown out.
To this day Mr O thanks this particular supervisor, and every time he sees one of the girls that did this to him, he refers to her as THE SFACHEME. The other girl quit some time ago, but THE SFACHEME is still there, and as she gets older gets uglier.

Shut Up.
I just need to vent a little on the political race for mayor now that SUPER TUESDAY is behing us. I just can't stand listening to the DRAGONLADY. Her Voice gets on my nerves. Obama is getting to me with his bull shit, and I am disappointed that the MORMON dropped out. McCain, please use HEAD AND SHOULDERS because the dandruff really shows

THE MORNING AGOTFAY
I am really tired of people who bull shit a lot. A man that I work with is a cronic bull shiter. I do not know what it is but the fact is that a man that I work with can not be trusted.
At times he can be cool, but he can't be trusted. I don't know if this is because this man if a homosexual, and he may have had a hard time adjusting in society, but when I am at a Menza function, he can be the nicest person in the world. That following Monday, he can be an asshole, who just bullshits his way through society.
I am at wits end with him, because of his actions and because he just talks out his ass. I do not know what to do. Any suggestions would be helpful.

MEMORIES,. THE WAY THEY WERE
Tonight is Super Bowl Sunday. I am not in the business to make any prognostications, but the fact is I have had a lot of good memories when it comes to sports.
My favorite Super Bowl memory is from Super Bowl 28 which was played on January 30, 1994 between the Dallas Cowboys and the Buffalo Bills. I remember the day like it was yesterday.
At the time I was at this small university in Northwestern PA, or pee ahy, as people refer it to. This is the same school that Elgarf refers to in many of his blogs. I remember walking around campus, and two freshmen come up to me and ask me if I wanted to take them to somebodys house so that they can watch the big game. I was thinking about watching the game at the dorm. I said to them okay, and off we went on a 30 mile journey up to a town called Leeper PEE AHY. In fact there was so much snow up there that my four door sedan got stuck, and somebody had to tow me out.
At the house, it is more like a cabin, we had KFC and all the beer that we can drink. There must have been about 40 people there, including some female students, and watching the game became less and less meaningful as the beer went down.
The game ended and I spent the night on the sofa. Naturally I blew off classes the next day, like the experts say many people do in the business world. It has been over 14 years since this fine evening, and every Super Bowl that I watch can not equal that particular Super Bowl. Now I know it wasn't the game, the fact is I think I may have watched a total of just 15 minutes. Is it that I had a great time, or was it the Beer. Nevertheless, "LETS GO BIG BLUE"

BINGO ALL THE WAY PART 2
Last evening I went back to the so called bingo arcade with Mr.Ganz and Mr. Laytom. This time we brought along an honored guest Mr Yaris. The owner of the establishment was present, and he greeted us with smiles. Yes Mario Assendomae is his name, and bingo is his game. Mr Ganz won at the horseshoe, and Mr. Yaris won 3 times. The author won once, and Mr Laytom was the pissed off member this visit, because he didn't win once.
All and all it was good times and great memories.
