Man, I’m getting burned out. It’s like the same political news stories over and over. I’m tired about talking about Social Security.
You know they got my name wrong? My last name is commonly misspelled, but they actually got it completely wrong so as it would be pronounced differently. How am I supposed to trust them with my retirement when they can’t even get my name right? Still, I wonder if the fact that I file taxes under a false name (given to me by the government) might protect me from some future liability.
What was I saying? Oh yeah, I’m burnt out on the politics until something new happens, so I might as well talk about myself. Right now, I’m wearing a leather jacket. It’s like 80 degrees outside, but it’s always cold where I work. At least I have some protection now in case a knife fight breaks out. Leather armor never seems to help a cow, though.
I got some bongos. They came with the game Donkey Konga, where you play them in beat with the game. Haven’t tried it yet as I’m waiting to get a second pair of bongos so I can play the game with SarahK. The couple that plays videogames together, stays together.
Also, my kitten is now skittish… probably from me punching her in the face trying to teach her to box. Hey, it’s a harsh world out there, kitty; get used to it. Then again, you’re a house cat. Anyhoo, she better toughen up for whenever I finally get a dog if she doesn’t want to be a squeaky toy.
Sometimes my kitten freaks me out when she stares at me. Dogs don’t stare at you; they consider it disrespectful. Sydney will stare at me, though, with that expressionless face of hers. Have no ideas what she’s planning. It’s a great poker face. Maybe I should teach her poker instead of boxing…
I guess that’s all I have to say right now. So, are there any good news stories that haven’t been done to death yet?
Frank, don’t you know that its always DOGS playing poker 😀

Did any read Rachel Lucas’s latest rant? I hink her head exploded in rage.
My dog stares at me if I stop patting him, or if I’m eating food he thinks he has a chance of getting. What’s that? Oh, he wants out. Coming master!
Hey, they exhumed “Hogzilla.”
Oh wait, I guess he was done “to death” if they exhumed him, huh?
Soory ’bout that…
Mmmm Rachael…she has the sweetest sass on the web.
A “Confederate Yankee” saying “soory” like a Canadian… you never know what your going to find on this site!
My Australian shepherd (bless her dead little hide) used to stare at me, very disconcertingly: “Can I get you something? Is there something you’d like me to chase? Shall I take you for a walk?” I’d be trying to get some writing done, or maybe just sitting on my butt reading blogs. She’d stare and stare. Drove me nuts.
Sniff. I miss her.
When you mentioned your cat looking at you, it reminded me of this:
“Mrs. Krabappel and Principal Skinner were in the closet making babies and I saw one of the babies and the baby looked at me.”
If you’re smart, you’ll refrain from touching SarahK’s bongos until you put a ring on her finger. She might pistol whip you, and I don’t think a leather jacket provides protection from that.
Dan Collins,
And I miss my German Shepherd Lady. She comes up almost every time I talk to my dad even though she’s been gone for years now.
Only time I miss Sydney is when my aim is off.
I can totally identfy with the “news boredom.” I have been going through the same myself for the past several days. I’m tired of the same news being reported. I’m sure there is lots of things going on in the Middle East or somewhere. I’m glad you posted this, cause I thought it was just me.
YOU guys are tired? Try having to make jokes on the same stuff day after day after day.
Oh, that reminds me. I need to get working on my news round-up.
I decided that Rachel needed a pick-me-up, so I gave her a $5 tip. Don’t want her to quit posting again because of the idiots. She’s like my idol and stuff.
Teaching your cat to box. Hilarious!
The couple that plays videogames together, stays together.
Amen brother, amen!
Some of our troops nailed a couple dozen insurgents. The bad guys probably feel like that story has been done to death, but the fact that the MSM [news wires at least] reported it is a story in itself.
Terri’s murder is not complete yet. The Pope is still alive. Ukraine and Bulgaria are leaving Iraq.
Some punk shot up the place in Minnesota. Is the problem availability of guns, or the crazy things people do when they go into a homicidal rage?
Not much funny out there, besides this.
So, Frank J. has gone from “My mind is aglow with whirling, transient nodes of thought careening thru a cosmic vapor of invention” to “Ditto.”
If only there were a blog that posted daily roundups of actual Headline News, with comments (and didn’t even credit Frank J. with the idea), he would have all sorts of inspiration. But where would we find such a blog? Where?
Why don’t you have Hate Filled Lefty pull the plug on someone?
Anytime you’re burned out, post pictures of the cat.
How ’bout:
IMW: Saddam? You could either go back to the future or wacky prison adventures
or
IMW: Osama? BTF or wack-bin-laden in the mountains of Pakistan
I have three cats (soon to be five, mom-in-law died last month, left us the funeral bill and her cats). Anyhoo, used to have a decorative chess set on display. Cats played chess all day. Cat’s can’t play chess well. Kept having to retrive pieces from under the water heater. I didn’t know a water heater had a role in chess. must be cats rules.
My sister has a cat. She did not get her fixed, and today we have 9 cats. One cat turns to nine cats. AND IT IS PREGNANT AGAIN! That cat is such a slut!
Frank, if you want to get a dog, go ahead and do so. Just make sure you put the cats on Prozac and everything will be fine: http://slate.msn.com/id/2115019/?GT1=6208
About the Social inSecurity administration messing up names. They made a mistake on mine twice. The first time they misspelled my first name. Sprine. Sounds like I’d been pickled. I mean come on, it’s a first grade spelling word for goodness sake. But then I’m used to having to spell it our for people. I guess they can’t believe that someone would name their daughter Spring. I still can’t believe it.
The second time they mushed up my maiden name and my married names together to form some strange Frankename.
Tsk.
If your kitten is truly as evil as you have previously stated, worry about the dog if it’s still a puppy.
The two cats that I live with turned the one year old puppy that we brought over to visit into a quivering, whining ball of pain and fear in a few minutes. He’s now deathly afraid of coming near a cat.
…I suppose I would be afraid of cats if I got bitten by a cat in that tender location too…
How hard can it be to spell J?
