Since Bill in Portland Maine is nowhere to be found (uh oh, Bill, did you start on that new bottle of Rum already?) I humbly offer you a substitute place to Cheer and Jeer.
Warning: this a "personal" C+J. Unlike BiPM, I don't have the world at my fingertips. My problem is that perspective clouds my judgement.
More after the fold, swish, boom, ouch! sorry I tripped. Boy this is hard work. Could someone send a recommend over to help me clean this mess up?
Cheers To the upcoming job interview. It's time to move on. Wish me luck. 5 interviews in one day. Any advice?
Jeers If I get the new job, I won't be able to post at C+J too often. I'll miss posting here, but I really do want the new job.
Cheers To Gin Martinis with two big olives. Shaken, not stirred. Yup it's paint thinner, but it's good paint thinner.
Cheers To jokes that make kids laugh. Did you hear about the farmer who was outstanding in his field? How about the dog with a gun who shot his paw?
Cheers To jokes that make adults laugh: How about the hunters on a hunting trip. In the cabin, the deal was that the first guy to complain about the food, had to take on the cooking duties.
One evening, a hunter, while eating asked, "Is this Bear Shit?" The whole table went silent. Then the inquisitive hunter said, "Damn good Bear Shit."
Cheers To fostering cats. We've fostered 75 in the last 1.5 years but we, for reasons beyond our control, have to get out of the fostering "business". Don't worry, I still have plenty of cute kitty photos to share.
Jeers To "only" having four foster cats left to place: Kill Bill, Hoshi, Sierra, and a Tuxedo (black, white chest) boy who's name I've not learned yet (we got him yesterday).
Anybody want Kill Bill. He's a near-feral, beautiful, big gray cat, about 6 months old, You can only pet him on rare occasions (like when he's in a cage), He's really soft, he only hisses, and never meows. He loves bologna and he loves to play with strings that have a human at the other end.
And your pootie for the day:
Meet Snur, the first cat we fostered (along with her two sisters Snip and Snap).
Bill, help me out here...
Here's some more to Cheer and Jeer about:
Cheers To Bush hitting a new low in the polls. I hear this is the Rethug strategy. Wow 'em with {un}success. Of course W is doing great in the "White male billionaires" category.
Cheers To Butterfly Protectors (from News of the weird]
Some of the most heavily armed park rangers in the world (carrying AR-15 and Galil automatic rifles and pump-action shotguns and protected by body armor) patrol 124,000 acres west of Mexico City, to protect monarch butterflies. The rangers keep loggers out of the area because the monarch population (22 million, this season) represents an 80 percent drop from the year before. (San Diego Union Tribune-AP, 12-16-05)
I wonder what they do to protect their gold?
Jeers to the MSM for
ignoring Mark Crispin Miller's new book
Fooled Again: How the Right stole the 2004 election and why they'll steal the next one too. Who stole the reviews?
Cheers To Mark Crispin Miller for having the guts to write it. Is
he is on the no-fly list yet?
Jeers To those low down, find any loophole in the law, too clever by half, ideology is more important than anything, rethugs...
