Ichipan!!

Alfred, I think that is "does time" together.
Heck, what's a Mom to do? The police told the boy to have her come and get him.
Posted by: gjd | October 29, 2007 at 05:48 PM
They should just let the kids drive.....
Heck, they got to learn sometime.

I know. Isn't that entrapment? She didn't break the law until she was told to do so.
Posted by: Edgar Greenberg | October 29, 2007 at 05:50 PM
I'm wondering if anybody called children's protective services. States differ in what they consider child endangerment, but this seems pretty blatant. Sorry, not funny. Not funny at all.

He registered .11 and she .13 on the breath tests. Clearly HE was the designated drunk driver.
Posted by: Siouxie | October 29, 2007 at 05:54 PM
Now it's a story about how boiled peanuts are good for you. Stupid internets.
Posted by: MAC | October 29, 2007 at 05:55 PM
I believe there ages were around 11 or 13 in mentality.
Posted by: Alfred Simon Fyodorovich | October 29, 2007 at 05:58 PM
Curses! Foiled again!
Posted by: Darwin | October 29, 2007 at 06:03 PM
Don't worry Darwin. We'll see if we can arrange them to be housed with the murderers. That should get them.
Posted by: Edgar Greenberg | October 29, 2007 at 06:07 PM
that ad that enlarges and stays until it is clicked on--is that like "implied consent" for breath tests for drunks...or something?
or is is more like the girl was wearing scimpy clothing so she was "asking for it?"
Whatever the reasoning, I find them very annoying. What can I do but avoid sites that use them???
Posted by: curious | October 29, 2007 at 06:10 PM
curious - you need to use the Firefox browser and download the no-adds addon.
Posted by: DeskDiva | October 29, 2007 at 06:27 PM
This never would've happened with my family. Mom would already have been passed out on the couch.
Posted by: maimzini | October 29, 2007 at 06:30 PM
Their children will make perfect future pop stars!
Posted by: Wench Lizzy | October 29, 2007 at 06:37 PM
Wow Diva. No more ads.
Posted by: Edgar Greenberg | October 29, 2007 at 06:41 PM
*snork* @ maimz!
Kids are a bad influence.
Posted by: CJrun | October 29, 2007 at 06:43 PM
hanna: a LOT of what we blog isn't funny if you THINK about it.
Posted by: judi | October 29, 2007 at 06:43 PM
Of course it also got rid of the Blog's ads. I hope that bikini girl wasn't judi's big source of income.
Posted by: Edgar Greenberg | October 29, 2007 at 06:45 PM
Hanna & Judi - often the best way to begin an awareness and correction in through humor rather than direct confrontation. (Of course at times the latter is the only course.)
Posted by: pogo | October 29, 2007 at 06:57 PM
There was a bikini girl!!???
Posted by: Alfred Simon Fyodorovich | October 29, 2007 at 06:58 PM
ASF... one bread? [pretty sure 'first' is Ichiban] Oh, and neener!
Posted by: CJrun | October 29, 2007 at 07:08 PM
Hana, Judi- I am of the opinion that our great Philosophers of today are all humorists. They bring up subjects about humanity, and all though they are poking fun at it, they are trying to bring light to the subject as well.
Sometimes it is really surprising. I once emailed an essay from some guy in the 19th century, who was quite of the mind that the poor should sell there young as food. This way, the population stays low, and the poor have money to stay alive.
I thought it was insane. Judi assured me that it was written by a humorist. The one who wrote Gulliver's Travels no less.
It doesn't seem like it, but the blog is really pulling our attention to some very serious subjects. They just happen to be doing it with a sense of humour.
Posted by: Alfred Simon Fyodorovich | October 29, 2007 at 07:11 PM
Drat! Miss Spelled Again!!
Yes, it is Ichiban.
Posted by: Alfred Simon Fyodorovich | October 29, 2007 at 07:14 PM
I didn't spell ANYTHING!
Posted by: Miss | October 29, 2007 at 07:18 PM
Also, Alfred, this Blog alerts us to the blatant outrageous behavior that exists out there. The dichotomy of beliefs, etc.
I can just see Dave coming in later on as we discourse on the philosophy of his humor Blog: "Gee, and I thought it was just funny."
Posted by: Miss | October 29, 2007 at 07:20 PM
A low flow toilet is truly a serious matter.

What did the kids get on THEIR tests?
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | October 29, 2007 at 07:31 PM
ASF, honest truth: My Senior English teacher in High School ("I'm gonna learn you how to write essays") assigned us 'A Modest Proposal,' to read and write about. I came out in favor, but suggested Swift was being wasteful and that we needed to use the skins as well. I suggested the manufacture of 'Kid Gloves.' She didn't get it and was horrified!
Posted by: CJrun | October 29, 2007 at 07:38 PM
No argument from here. I love laughing and even though Freud is out of favor, he was one of the first to call it a high-level coping skill. It is far superior to self-pity or hand-wringing hopelessness, and I believe once people can laugh a bit, it greases their problem-solving mechanisms which produce healthy change.
Pointing out the absurdities in our world and getting us to laugh at ourselves is a great service, and I believe is a big factor in staying sane.
Posted by: Hanna | October 29, 2007 at 07:43 PM
CJ--You were lucky she was only "horrified." I once had a client who wrote an essay about what he would like to do to the principal, exactly as he was assigned to do, and wound up in a psychiatric ward for 8 days with no family contact. Obviously another educator with NO sense of humor.
Posted by: Hanna | October 29, 2007 at 07:49 PM
Like Hanna says, if you don't go crazy once in a while, you'll go nuts.
Or maybe Yogi Berra said that. I always get those three confused.
Wait, there is no three. So I'm ok, right?
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | October 29, 2007 at 07:55 PM
DD, you are my hero. (I feel a song coming on...) I use Firefox, but didn't know about this add-on.
Posted by: gjd | October 29, 2007 at 08:03 PM
So, was I wrong to do that?
Posted by: casey | October 29, 2007 at 08:03 PM
Darwin- I thought I had you cornered.
As for drunk-driving parents, I turned one of those in last year to DFACS (the kid was injured badly). I do not regret to say that the child was taken away from that woman because of me, and I would do it again. I have no sympathy.
CJ- should have hit her with your crab hammer
Posted by: diverdowndoc | October 29, 2007 at 08:05 PM
My sister and I have a very bad tendency to get the giggles at funerals...
Posted by: gjd | October 29, 2007 at 08:05 PM
I got it - #3 is Hanna Bar-Berra. The guy with the cartoons.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | October 29, 2007 at 08:16 PM
gjd - I've had that happen before.
Posted by: Mary Richards | October 29, 2007 at 08:19 PM
ddd, if you look closely, that mallet was facing your spot at the counter.
Annie, I thought you were fine, until you didn't intentionally mean Hanna Barbera in the first place; I thought that was your original joke!
Posted by: CJrun | October 29, 2007 at 08:25 PM
gjd - aren't those addons great?!
Posted by: DeskDiva | October 29, 2007 at 08:32 PM
speakin' of add-ons.
Posted by: Wyo Cowboy | October 29, 2007 at 08:42 PM
Aww, jeez. The BlogGals are goin' on about addons.
Posted by: CJrun | October 29, 2007 at 08:44 PM
They are, but I have only used a few. I have the toolbar and the customized icons.
Posted by: gjd | October 29, 2007 at 08:47 PM
Firefox is the only way to go. period.
(just sayin')
Posted by: Wyo Cowboy | October 29, 2007 at 08:49 PM
gjd...TMI!!
Posted by: CJrun | October 29, 2007 at 08:52 PM
I use it at home, but on my work monitor, the text is very odd looking, so I just use IE. I use the bookmark synching, the colored tabs, "reload every," and a couple of others, too.
CJ - afraid you wouldn't measure up? ;-P
Posted by: DeskDiva | October 29, 2007 at 08:55 PM
*snork* Sorry, CJ. :-D
Posted by: gjd | October 29, 2007 at 08:55 PM
Good to see you, Sthnbelle!
Posted by: gjd | October 29, 2007 at 08:58 PM
hehehe...I wasn't going to say it, DD. (Glad you did.)
Posted by: gjd | October 29, 2007 at 08:59 PM
You are right, Wyo. I have an iMac, so Firefox is definitely the best. Some website features don't work on other browsers.
Posted by: gjd | October 29, 2007 at 09:02 PM
Mary, it's good to know that we aren't the only
sickosless than reverent people out there.Posted by: gjd | October 29, 2007 at 09:04 PM
I'm all alone in the Blog.
Oh. New post. Hello, McFly!
Posted by: gjd | October 29, 2007 at 09:05 PM
Whadda ya want? I was sleepin'!
Posted by: McFly | October 29, 2007 at 09:08 PM
LOL, McFly!

Shucks ... that cuts me outta the race ...
(NEbuddy click on that ad for "Blogging for Breasts"? Me neither ...)
Posted by: O the U(manity) | October 29, 2007 at 09:29 PM

torturekitchen utensils for the next time we have to hurt something.Posted by: Siouxie | October 29, 2007 at 09:37 PM

WTG, Siouxie! Get that sucker!!
Posted by: Eleanor | October 29, 2007 at 10:07 PM
And I had to robot TWICE!!!

Okay, I'm off to get some cheese to go with my whiiiiine.
Posted by: gjd | October 29, 2007 at 10:09 PM
Like spam, hate spammers.
(I know, but the army did that too me.)
Beats C-rats 'n MRE's
night, all.
Posted by: Wyo Cowboy | October 29, 2007 at 10:09 PM
That was quite the Shakespearean couplet, about hittin' spammer with a hammer.
Posted by: diverdowndoc | October 29, 2007 at 10:57 PM
whoops! night Wyo!!
Posted by: diverdowndoc | October 29, 2007 at 10:58 PM
Edgar, the Ad Block and Ad Block Plus extensions by themselves don't come with a pre-defined list of ads to block -- you get to pick which ones. You musta got a version that came with a thorough list already (probably Filterset.G).
Folks that like Ad Block may also enjoy FlashBlock, and per-site Javascript and Java Blocking
Posted by: Richard the Weasel-Hearted | October 30, 2007 at 12:50 AM
Careful with Javascript block. Yes, it will stop all sorts of tracking. On the other hand, it will also turn off whole websites.
Posted by: Alfred Simon Fyodorovich | October 30, 2007 at 01:02 AM
Indeed. And then you can decide -- if you trust the site -- turn turn on Javascript for that site in a couple clicks.
