THINGS THAT COULD ONLY HAPPEN IN OLATHE?

How long before a deaf person gets shot by a hispanic gang member that confuses sign language for gang signs? The lack of such an incident to this date amazes me considering that these two groups make up the majority of the population in the city.

I am going to go out on a limb and predict that in 2008 there will be such an incident.

MORE BODIES FOUND

I have been saying it for months now on this blog...The woods in the "Urban" core of the metro are littered with bodies but the city has been avoiding them. If it weren't for a group of people cleaning the area of trash THESE bodies would never of been found. Maybe now metro leaders will wake up and start investigating.

QUICK HITS

1. Pscyo B**** gets the Death Penalty. Even if you are against the death penalty (which you shouldn't be) you would be for this chick getting 86'd.

2. Reverse discrimination costs Platte County $2.1 million dollars. This case alone has finally put an end to affirmative action and opened the doors across the country for even more to follow.

3. Now we know what they were saving the bullets for. KC criminals up the ante and go after Armored car.

4. The violence in KCK has no boundaries. This time the jackass street thugs that plague the community take down a 1 year old.

5. A freaking BB gun NOT EVEN in the school is cause enough for a lock down in Liberty. The educators that walk the halls of liberty wouldn't survive an hour in either the KCK or KCMO school district.

6. Street gangs are now utilizing grenade launchers.... Can we finally classify these groups as domestic terrorists and put an end to them?

7. Unpaid taxes are a bigger threat in America than street gangs.

8. How this guy isn't a Metro loft dweller who attends "First Fridays" is beyond me.

9. More celeb global warming hype.

10. Vodka manufacture rewrites history for ad campaign in Mexico.

2008 KU BASKETBALL RAP SONG

I have had a ton of requests on how to find this song. As far as I know the only way to download this song is to follow this link. If you download it you will need ITunes to play it.

POOR ROY

I guess that leaving Kansas isn't as easy as he thought.

HOW MANY BODIES ARE OUT THERE?

Yet another dead body was found in the Metro. This one had been there so long that they are having a hard time telling what gender it is. People that I know that work in some of the metros police departments have told me that if they "went looking" for bodies they could find bodies. The problem is that the murder stats for the metro would rise and people would lose their jobs.

Which leads me to this important question... Which movie that involves kids going on an adventure to see a dead body is better, Stand by me or Boyz in the Hood? I have been trying to decide this for nearly 8 years and still can not come up with a winner.

DOES THE METRO HAVE AN ARSONIST ON THE LOOSE?

This blog is key on picking up on crime trends. You heard it hear first that gang bangers were now using knives as their weapon of choice, that Northern JOCO was becoming unsafe and that trends were showing that KCMO will challenge record murder rates per capita. I think it is safe to say that arson is the latest and greatest craze amongst the metros criminal underworld.

1. Jackson County
2. Excelsior Springs
3. KCMO

BACK TO BUSINESS, THANK YOU CAR MAX

As most of you noticed there was no posting on this blog yesterday. The car the had performed for me so well over the past 3 years was starting to act up and being that it was nearly at 100k in miles(I put on 20k a year) I had to ditch it. So after spending the morning shopping online inventories from local dealerships I called two places Olathe Ford (big mistake) & Car Max and decided to head to Car Max first and deal with Olathe over the phone.

After dealing with usual tricks and ploys of Olathe Ford over the phone I quickly dropped them from contention and decided that I was only going to deal with Car Max.

I have never had a better car buying experience. They remove all of the BS that you usually have to deal with and make it simple, quick and hassle free. If you ever have to buy a car go there first. After driving damn near every SUV ever made I ended up purchasing a fairly new Mercury Mountaineer.

G FORCE INTRO

Deja Vu for Jayhawk fans????????

So every time we make it to the Final 4 an opening is created at our current coaches alma mater. Reports from ESPN have Sean Sutton stepping down at Oklahoma State making Bill Self the first choice as his replacement.

This is not an April Fools Day joke.

If Bill Self doesn't come out and address this in his news conference today at 3pm central then I say let his ass leave. This needs to be dealt with TODAY.

THINGS THAT ONLY HAPPEN IN KCK

In an effort to better organize the ramblings that often take place in this blog I will be starting a new post title. "Things that only happen in _______".

The first city and story are very fitting due to the odd crap that happens inside of KCK.

Man driving down 7th street at 3:30am(when all good things happen) has flaming mattress behind him which ends up catching his car on fire.

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT

If you live in the KCMO school district you are surrounded by illiterate morons! If you are educated LEAVE AT ONCE! This story confirms what every self respecting JOCO resident has thought for more than 30 years. For those of you that live outside of KCMO or are in the minority of educated people residing there I have put together some tips on how to handle your run ins with the ignorant majority residing in KCMO.

1. Talk slow.
2. Do not use words above two syllables.
3. If they are available utilize visual aides.
4. Do not use story problems.
5. Make them show their work or at least have a calculator on hand.
6. Do not engage in any form of communication that requires spelling.
7. Learn what the initials GED stand for.
8. Do not engage in any of the following topics; politics, economics, education (given), history, the weather, sports or current events.
9. Nod your head and make eye contact.
10. Speak in rhymes. Think Johnny Cochran, Dr. Seus, Jessie Jackson, Mother Goose.

Good LUCK!

Kevin Kietzman take on the Jayhawks

If you needed more proof that Kevin Kietzman is the biggest idiot Kansas State homer in the world you needn't read anymore than the following.

1. Couldn't believe that KU celebrated going to the Final 4
2. KU fans realize they have no shot at winning
3. KU is not much better than Davidson
4. KU is the Underdog in the tournament. "That's the only way I know how to approach it". Really Kevin, when the hell have you ever been able to cheer for your team in College Hoops.
5. Russell Robinson looked like a deer in the headlights.
6. The only way that Kansas can win is by playing the perfect game. They aren't good enough to beat these other teams otherwise.
7. Kansas is not on the same level with Carolina historically.
8. KU fans should hate North Carolina & Roy Williams
9. Tyler Hansborough is not any good.
10. Bill Self's Legacy is on the line. This is it. (Setting KU up for a fall)
11. Roy Williams is a drama queen (which means he wouldn't appear on his show)
12. If you want to mention Carolina & Kansas in the same breath they have to win this game.
13. You can not believe anything that Roy Williams says.
14. Roy Williams has a "knack" for recruiter white players.
15.

THINGS OF NOTE

1. My daughters are now proud rodent owners. Friday night we went out and got the girls some new pets. We ended up getting the youngest 2 gerbils & the oldest a Guinea pig.

2. Winter will never end. This is the most depressing weather I have ever seen in the metro. Nothing sucks the life out of you more than knowing that everyday that you wake up there is going to be crappy weather. I feel like Bill Murray in Groundhog Day.

3. Road Construction is on its way back. The weather isn't going to slow down the closing of lanes and bridges in the metro. I still don't know why they just don't build it right the first time.

4. Why isn't Metro Sports in HD? You would think that the channel owned by the cable company would be. I guess they can't even get that right.

5. Stillwell Station is the best unknown BBQ Joint in the Metro. If you haven't been to the gas station for BBQ then you are missing out. 199th and Metcalf & yes there are tables inside to eat at. Try the rib tips & Pork.

6. What is pathetic? Pathetic is when you don't have a team in the race (and never have) and you talk trash about another team. MU & K State fans who haven't seen a good basketball season in decades this applies to you. Stay on the sidelines where you belong.

7. The tax deadline is approaching. I refuse to pay my taxes before the deadline. Why should I? I don't get a refund. Over the years I have found myself despising those that do get money back from the government. If anything those that get refunds should be the ones cutting the check at the end of the year. They are the ones that didn't put in their fair share.

8. The fact that the Royals are opening up in Detroit has taken away from my opening day excitement. I did hear rumors that 88 of the Royals televised games will be in HD. Watching baseball in HD is better than being there.

9. Most blogs suck. Have you ever hit the next blog button at the top of blogger? Holy crap there are some turds out there.

10. Malcom X. I dig this movie. It was on MOJOHD all weekend and I watched it twice. Weird for a conservative Republican to watch, I know but the man was very interesting.

11. Have you read _____ book? I don't think I have read a book from cover to cover in over 15 years(besides what I read to my kids). I think people read just to say that they did. Don't you think that if the book was any good that a movie would be made about it? The only exceptions to that rule are books that contain information to improve my earning power.

12. Backyard living area. I have decided to shelve the patio idea until next year and start from scratch. This means new deck & patio. I have been researching these outdoor living areas and have decided that if I am going to spend the money, that is the way to go.
