I don’t understand your question. If someone has to go to a hospital, how does them being a customer work? I’ve been in a hospital many times, I don’t see where I’m a customer. I’m in need of help. I usually don’t care what hospital it is. Pain or injury trumps customer to me. Please elaborate. I feel that I’m missing your point. No disrespect intended.

You see yourself as in need of help, because it’s true. But plenty of hospitals see you as a source of insurance money, sweet sweet insurance money, which is why tongue depressors cost forty dollars.

Obviously this is not representative of the entire medical profession, but there’s a damn ton of hospitals that have no concern but the bottom line (regardless of what the doctors within feel).

Is Bolo Yueng the only big guy ever to come out of China? And by big, I mean 5’6".

This random thought brought to you by Bloodsport, which is on cable right now.

Yao Ming says no.

Is that dude this dude?

5386

Fair enough.

Kind of stressed Friday, Saturday, and Sunday early, didn’t get a lot of sleep either night. Then I had to be at work early today for a short shift. So I knew the crash was coming. Even drinking some coffee earlier today couldn’t stop it. So, an afternoon nap. I feel old. ;-)

So, next month Google is going to delete my years-old Youtube account account because I won’t connect it to my years-old gmail account. Yea, fuck you too Google.

5389

OTOH, last month Google extended my months-old Gmail account to be able to access YouTube as well, obviating the need for separate accounts. Yay Google!

5390

Well, I have a couple different youtube accounts, depending on what I want to post (gaming, family shit, school stuff), and I don’t want them all connected to the same gmail account, nor do I want to create a bunch of new gmail accounts.

Damn free services, all uppity and shit.

This leads to an theological/ontological dilemma:

What is evil?

Kerzain. FFS, shut up and link your accounts already.

It’s been so long since I’ve had to write in cursive that I’m looking up certain letters on Google, but these client holiday cards won’t write themselves.

So I just caught the beginning of a commercial for the new Twilight movie. Right before I fast forwarded I caught the blurb. “The Best Twilight Movie Ever!”

My first thought was, “The Best Drano Cocktail Ever!”

My 10-year-old’s been acting up a bit in school, so as a punishment we told him no Wii for two weeks. That was last night, 17 hours ago, he’s been crying virtually non-stop since. Those things should come with warning labels.

5396

Don’t mention this to Koontz. He will give you child rearing advice. You don’t want that.

Edit: Serious advice ahoy. He’s 10 years old. Do you really truly know that he’s been crying non-stop? Or is he just crying when you go to his room? I was a kid once and there is no way I could raise a tantrum of crying for that long. You said virtually. So it would seem that he’s just playing you. Please don’t take this the wrong way. But let him cry. I also had a son who would try this crap. You are the adult. Let him play his game, (by that I mean his sympathy game, not the Wii) you’ll find him to eventually get tired of it.

It’s not the game that needs warning labels. It’s the kids. Show him what the boundaries are now. Or when he hits 14-15 you are screwed.

5397

To be honest, I wish that Mr. Koontz had advised me 10 months ago against giving my son a Wii because it is more addictive than crack-cocaine. If I’d have listened, I’d have been a much happier man.

And my son is not getting his Wii back until he straightens up, so that’s not an issue. Interestingly, his behavior problems did not really start until a couple of months after we got the Wii. Don’t know if there’s a causal connection, but I don’t know if there’s not, either

Nice try Larry Page.

My father is a Birther
My mother tries to get me to buy into pyramid schemes
My brother thinks Harry Potter leads to witchcraft
My best friend voted for John McCain (and Sarah Palin)

Your path is clear:

Start a pyramid scheme to enable Harry Potter witchcraft to turn back time and re-do the 2008 election on the basis of Birtherism.
