Screw You

It is time for the registration, ballistic fingerprinting, and federal licensing of screwdrivers. How many more must be screwed before the government takes action?

COCONUT CREEK, Fla. — A 25-year-old student…walked into his business class Friday and stabbed three school officials with a screwdriver, police said.

The teacher asked Mair to leave and called for staff assistance, he said.

Mair then attacked the three victims with a screwdriver he took to school, officials said. An assistant director of the school was stabbed in the back and two security specialists in the arms. The three were later released from the hospital.

Fortunately, the violent tool-toting perp was nabbed.

Mair fled in his car, was involved in a car crash and tried to run from officers but was apprehended.

So why all of the Craftsman-related violence?

Mair became agitated and “expressed his displeasure about the lack of black history being taught at the school,” Avello said. February is Black History Month.

Student with a screw loose or just another youth trying to get ahead being driven down by The Man? You decide.

When screwdrivers are outlawed only outlaws will drive screws

ya gotta stop gettin’ tricked! So I’m at the big anti-I.C.E. rally today on Greens Road in Houston and I’m, like, you know, really bored because the only people there are the protesters protesting against the raids and for the illegals. Yawn. No controversy. After an hour, I decide enough is enough and walk down the road to my truck. Hop in, look in the mirror and see a white truck coming up with an American flag. Hmm. Could this be the big anti-protest protest I ask?

So I hop out of the the truck and walk back down the road. Yes, there are anti-protest protesters arriving! Yippee and only an hour late. Camera in hand I continue onward. Walking through the original protesters, I ask one of them, hey, where have those guys been? He just grins (no stereotype here, he has all of his teeth) and says, we tricked ‘em! They’ve been on the other side of the building wondering where we were! Laughing his arse off! Hey, you had to be there. Ended up with 73 pro-immigration and 43 anti-immigration people. Yeah, I counted.

So finally there was a confrontation. Ended up taking a ton of pictures and talking to both sides. Very interesting. The US Border Watch guy is a real media hound, he doesn’t give a rat’s rear about the border, I assure you. Both the cheerleader and the fat chick in the picture are on the side of the Border Watch folk. I’m not sure I want to be on their side. Click on the pic for a large view of the two beauties and various other things. Careful now, there are tricksters out there.

California is just a different state of mind.

LOS ANGELES — A man dressed as Chewbacca was arrested after police said the street performer head-butted a tour guide operator in front of Grauman’s Chinese Theatre in Hollywood.

Security guards escorted Young off theater property, but Chewbacca decided to strike back and head-butted the tour guide, [police Lt. Paul] Vernon said.

“The lesson here is you can have the force with you,” Vernon said. “You just can’t use illegal force.”

Very funny, Lieutenant. Don’t quit your day job.

The tour guide, Brian Sapir, told the Los Angeles Times that he asked the Chewbacca character to stop harassing two young Japanese tourists when the actor exploded in anger.

“He said, ‘Nobody tells this wookie what to do,”‘ Sapir said.

Han Solo warned us, “It’s not wise to upset a wookie.” Truly wise words to live by.

You ever had one of those peeps at work that walk around with a fake smile on their face, always trying to be cheery and perk you up when you’re in a bad mood? Just tell ‘em that you are trying to boost the productivity of the office.

“Negative moods signal a problematic state of affairs and propel us to systematically address the problem and fix things,” she said. “Thus, they encourage a bottom-up, detail-oriented, analytic approach to understanding the situation.”

Another recent study at the University of Toronto led by Adam Anderson also showed that employees in a bad mood may have higher focus for tasks that are more mundane or detail-oriented. In contrast, good moods can lower a worker’s attention span and increase the possibility of distraction.

So, in the immortal words of ST, just say “bite me”!
