DO WE NEED A DAY FOR THIS? National scrabooking day.

I just learned that Saturday is national scrapbooking day...This has to be some sorta joke. Those of you with wives that are involved in this addiction understand that too them everyday is scapbooking day. They attend crops (shop), they hangout (shop) at the stores, the go to message boards, they go to websites, they blog about it, they get packages in the mail, they do swaps (not what you think), they take up rooms of your house and SPEND, SPEND, SPEND both time and money on what could be the most expensive hobby on the planet.

Think about the cost (both hidden and obvious) involved in putting photos in an album.

1. Cameras - You are looking at over $2000 divided up amongst 2 cameras, lenses, bags, memory cards etc... This is not a one time cost, scapbookers must have the latest and greatest in photo technology
2. Photo Developing - This isn't cheap and it never ends.
3. Paper - You wouldn't think that paper could that expensive, well you are wrong. Single sheets of paper can cost as much as $1 per sheet.
4. Postage - My house has turned into a freight hub for Fed Ex & UPS. If a stamp is almost 50 cents I can only imagine what the cost of a fed ex package is.
5. Machines - Believe it or not scrapbooking requires $200 plus machines.
6. Computers & Printers - Yes I used the plural form of both words
7. Computer software - Must have $200 worth of Adobe products
8. Stamps, stickers, glue, scissors.....
9. The actual book
10. Storage - You must buy a house that includes a scraproom which means an additional 20k on your house cost, storage bins, book shelves etc...$$$$$
11. Crops - These things will cost you $$ & freedom
12. Overnight Crops - A bunch of women in there Pajamas sharing one shower should be exciting...
13. THESE ARE NOT ONE TIME COSTS
Guess where your tax rebate check is going.

If you will look at the entry level costs that I put together above you need to keep in mind that these same people are usually the first to complain about the cost of gas going up 10 cents. The cost of one piece of scrapbook paper could cover the price increase on 10 gallons of gas. These same people have a large contingent of eco warriors. Never mind the fact that half of the rain forest is sitting on a storage shelf in their scrap room, the chemicals used to develop their film and used in their glue. I am sure someone is going to make a fortune off of GREEN Scapbooking supplies.

Yes scrapbookers are hypocrites as well as big spenders.

So do these people really need a day? No. How about a day without scrapbooking?

What does your wife have planned on Saturday? BE AFRAID.

SOME NOT SO QUICK HITS

1. NJ liberals want to tax fast food & call it a SIN. Amazing what is and isn't considered a sin in Jersey.

2. 25th and Troost (where even the tulips die) site of latest slicing/dicing.

3. The hidden ghetto finally makes the news (and it is about time). It turns out that a stabbing took place at the Charter House apartment complex in Lenexa last night. Anyone familiar with that area (97th & Monrovia) will not be shocked by this event because they know that Charter House is nothing more than a Housing project in the middle of JOCO. Prostitution, Drug deals, gang activity and yes even violent crimes take place in this place on a daily basis.

4. The groundwork is being set for the greatest cover up in history. As more and more information comes out against the global warming hoax you knew a response was coming. Today scientist have come out and said that temps should hold for the next 10 years and might even COOL off. So lets follow the time line here. 1. The Ice Age was coming...2. Global warming is going to kill us all...3. Temps are to hold for the next 10 years.... You patrons of the Eco Church crack me up. WHICH IS IT? Lets not forget the f'd up hurricane predictions over the past 2 years as well. Al Gore is nothing more than David Koresh with more money and a bigger audience you lemmings are just as ignorant as the idiots that burned to their deaths.

5. HOLY CRAP!

6. People that hang out in coffee houses suck, so this is good news. Once Starbucks closes they will have to figure out different ways of imitating Ross & Rachel.

7. When a democrat talks about switching teams it typically means something entirely different....

WTF IS A GAS FAIRY?????????

Seriously, nowhere in this story is there a quote from someone saying Gas Fairy, nowhere. I would say that this story involves two dumb ass's. The guy that hit the wrong button at the gas station and the moron that wrote that headline.

Is this paper actually worst than the star??

BEWARE OF THESE WACKOS!

After reading this story I plan on littering the whole way home. This local extremist group wants to tell you how to live, what to buy and what temperature your home home should be set at and yes they want to take away your bottled water. They have been trained by the opportunist ALGORE and are dead set on pushing their religion on you.

How can you trust a group that has this as the first sentence on their website" Yes, we like trees a lot; but it's community that we hug". WTF! STAY AWAY! It gets worst.... Job titles for this group include Earth Day coordinator and Heartland tree alliance coordinator. If you thought those titles were bad, the photos and bios of the people that hold these positions would be better used at a West Bottoms haunted house.

You have been warned!

LESBOS IN THE NEWS

LINK

SLOW NEWS DAY?

It must be, because I am pretty sure that someone catches a beat down at least once a day in this neighborhood.

But if you have the time you have got to follow the link. The video reporting by the star has got to be the crappiest form of news media to ever hit the metro. They have voices made for writing, it's just too bad they don't have the talent for that either.

KCK TAKES ACTION

Good news for the people of the Metro's Sadr city, you will be getting 30 more cops! This is a step in the right direction for a city that desperately needs help.

It would of been a better step if they didn't say that they were targeting certain sex's and ethnic backgrounds. What are the chances that they are targeting the Irish when they say that?

QUICK HITS

1. 2 for 1 night at the Wax Factory in KCK.

2. I don't know what is more disturbing in this story. Is it the fact that someone is "Mushroom Hunting" or the fact that he found a dead body? I am going to go out on a limb and say that Mushroom Hunting MIGHT not be the most manly of hunts.

3. KSHB report teaches you a resourceful way to save at the pump.

4. Is this inspection REALLY necessary? That would be like the guy in story #2 calling a doctor to verify that the corpse he found is dead. This inspection is going to be a sham and will do nothing more that further empower the fools at the KCMO school board.

5. Crybaby story about the treatment of this guys dog makes news?

6. I just heard two nut job women from this group say that NO underage sex was taking place there.....OOPS!

7. South Side Chicago violent crime continues.

8. India takes class warfare to a new level.

9. Could this be the horniest teacher on the planet? This chick has now been arrested 3 times for giving private tutoring sessions on sex ed. " Ragusa had gone to the teen's house to discuss the criminal case but wound up in bed with him, police said."

10. Paula Abdul is a dumb ass. Not exactly live, late breaking news here.

Jeremiah Wright is unoriginal

I KNEW that I had heard that "chickens have come home to roost" line used when slamming America before. Malcom X (great movie by the way) used it when describing the assassination of JFK.

$2

Today I witnessed a scene out of Better Off Dead except this time it involved adults. It was an argument over $2, but to listen to the guy DEMANDING his $2 from the cashier you would of thought it was over $2,000.

I pulled into the Shell Station off of Roe this afternoon to grab another 24oz Monster drink to help me combat the allergy medicine I am taking and noticed a line that wrapped around the counter. I grabbed my drink and started hearing yelling and screaming coming from the front. The first thing that came to my mind was that some idiot was complaining about gas prices and blaming the cashier for him having to pay $1.60 more than last week to fill up his tank, I was wrong.

As I got closer to the situation I noticed the man with a lottery ticket in his hand. Did he win big? No, he won a FREE TICKET but the moron thought he won an additional $2 on top of it. I asked the guy in front of me how long he had been waiting and he said almost 10 minutes. I couldn't believe that an argument over $2 could last over 2 minutes.

Just as it was about to get violent a cop walked in the door and the dude left. Hilarious.

ALL OVER $2!
