The toughest call
Today I went and voted, and I faced a tough, tough decision. No, not that one about who should be President. The other one.
Florida Amendment 2, gay marriage.
Now to be fair, I have stated several times over the years on this blog if Bill wants to marry Bob, who am I to object? But this time, it's different. The state of Florida has officially asked me to give my vote.
My vote. My official opinion. My signature on a permanent document. And so I gave it.
Marriage is one man and one woman. Don't like it? Then don't ask me any more.
Next?

With winds gusting to 40 mph and temperatures in the mid-20's, the Pocono's in Pennsylvania, Eastern NY state, Western Massachusetts, and Vermont are currently being hit with their first pre-halloween snow storm in almost 3 decades. Up to 9 inches is expected in the Pocono's, with Mass, NY, and Vermont expecting 13 inches.
Al Gore? Your move.

Michael Jackson - Thriller
Best video ever. Produced and directed by John Landis. Creepy white-guy ebonics by Vincent Price. Pedophilia by MJ.

Gertenfarken Hookentaaaaalen
The past two days I have worked at a place that is nearly 75% Icelandic.
Don't ask.
In any case, I was informed that my primary responsibilities would be to check identification and verify some information telephonically, and it would be very easy. I thought - yeah, I know...thinking again - but I thought the names would be similar to Norwegian or Swedish. Carlson, Petterson, and the occasional Bjorg.
Nuh ah. Did I say nuh ah? I meant, nuh-fuckin'-ah.
The first telephone call I had was from a woman named, and I swear to God on this, Ernlaschmelken Ragmaarsdottian. I know this because I asked her to spell it, and I wrote it down as she told me. Can you imagine writting out a personal check from one person to another? They must use those oversized things you see on TV when someone wins $5 million from Ed McMahan. I can see it now. Everybody in Iceland carrying around what looks like poster board, and it's actually their checkbooks.
And what's with all the A's? Ingmaaarsonjanglinhoosen Maaartinbolinjaaacken. Okay, okay, we get it. You want the "ahh" sound. One 'a' should be sufficient. You don't need 13 consecutively, though.
And so, that's it. My blog for today. This is Jyaaalfourtislaaaken, signing off.
