The B.A.D.tm

A blog for change since 1979...



After the last 7 years it's obvious that the blogging community needs change. Change you can believe in. For years we've seen nothing but blogs pandering to the special interest groups and fluff blogs designed to run up the comment count. You, the people, deserve better. It's time for a change and Bob A. Booey is a man with the vision to bring about that change

The B.A.D., change in the blogging community you can believe in!

Yesterday for lunch I had a grilled soy-burger and some sour cream -n- chives pierogies. For my money you can't beat that for a refreshing mid day repast. I used to boil pierogies, cause it's the healthy way to do em up, but lately I've been giving in to the buttery yummness that gets cooked into them when you fry them up in a buttery-coated skillet. Saturated fats be damned, I'm all about the flavour, I'm a flavour man damnit!

The B.A.D., change in the blogging community you can believe in!

I had lunch with my old friend Lagged to Death earlier this week, maintaining my quest to do lunch with everyone I know whilst I'm on the dole. We're at this bistro in his neck of the woods and I'm looking at the menu and he tells me to be wary of the sandwiches cause they're huge. Like really really huge. So I'm thinking, HA, even though I'm a relatively thin bloke I'm a real manly man when it comes to cramming excessive amounts of food down the ol pie hole, plus I'm thinking Lagged smoked a bit too much crack for breakfast and is blowing this out of proportion, so I order up a sandwich and some fries and a bowl of tomatoe basil bisque. A three course meal, as it were. Well, about 10 minutes later the little waitress chippy comes rolling this cart the size of a 747 over to our table, and this is no joke, with enough food on it to feed the entire population of fucking Tibet. Really, every one of those smelly bastards. So the moral of the story here is when LtD tells you about about food you'd be wise to heed his advise.

The B.A.D., change in the blogging community you can believe in!

I got kicked out of the flop-house where I was living (we had a little mis-understanding about the policy on discharging firearms on the premise) so I had to move into the basement of Jack Wagner's house. I know, I should be grateful he's willing to put me up, given that we had a falling out a couple years ago, but he's one, uh, odd bloke. He claims to work for Apple's Cleveland division, but he comes and goes at such odd hours that it's almost like he doesn't know what time it is, or maybe he works some kind of flex schedule that's based on the early Mesopotamian calender. Either way it's quite odd. Plus all the walls in his house have these giant lead shields built into them, for God knows what reason, and I'd swear his property is in a flight lane to one of the local airports because there's always these really cool looking black helicopters flying by the house every time I go out to walk to the bus depot. Be that is it may he's letting me live rent-free until I get back on my feet, so I shouldn't complain about his little quirks, we all have em you know.

It turns out Mr. and Mrs. Clock are in town (perfect timing - it's like 75 below zero with 800 feet of snow on the ground!! Ha! Take that you confederate whimps) and they want to get together, you know, to talk about old times and whatnot. While I'm about as interesting as a gnat in real life I'm okay with meeting up and all that, figuring, you know, maybe I can trick them into loaning me some money. Well, I get this PM from clock:

Bob, Stacky and I are in town and would like to do a Cleveland Husi meet up. Also, do you know where we can purchase a small quantity of Pulonium-210?

Now - I'm probably over-reacting here, I'm sure there are lots of reasons to want to purchase a small amount of a deadly substance that's tasteless and odourless and impossible to detect in food, but, well, I can't help but be a little concerned about their intentions.

Only 8.5 hours until Oprah!!

I heard Rove said not to call you that, wink wink.

I've always[1] thought of them as Mrs and Mr McRacky, but each to their own.

And listen, if you need to buy ammo to keep up with your on-premises-discharge obligations, just stick a PayPal link up.  It's a worthy cause.

[1] For the last month or so.

That kind of makes sense as clock is one of those blokes who only has one name, like Cher or Bono, but frankly I think we need to think outside of the box here.

Warmest regards,

Don't forget to remind Jack by wiredog (4.00 / 2) #2 Thu Feb 28, 2008 at 09:31:49 AM EST
Daylight Savings Time starts a week from Sunday.

Polonium huh? They're just building their own nuke. As a married couple in Tejas they're required to have a small arsenal, and they want to start the Dude off right. You've got nothing to worry about.

You lazy bum, the Clinton Campaign is looking for by georgeha (2.00 / 0) #3 Thu Feb 28, 2008 at 09:34:00 AM EST
workers. What's wrong with hanging out in blue collar blues saying Hussein will mandate Sharia law if he gets elected.




I'm all about change by Bob Abooey (2.00 / 0) #9 Fri Feb 29, 2008 at 07:59:18 AM EST
I don't subscribe to those old tactics, I have a vision and that includes not bowing to the lowest common denominator when it comes to talking about those smelly tree hugging tax -n- spend Volvo driving NPR listening latte slurping liberals.

Be strong Mr. Ha - follow me and we'll change the world!!

Warmest regards,
--Your best pal Bob

Black Helicopters by wiredog (2.00 / 0) #4 Thu Feb 28, 2008 at 09:52:44 AM EST
I told you not to try and hide but, nooooo, you thought you were better than all the others.

Don't worry, they're just coming to take you away to Cupertino. Once you get used to them the black turtlenecks aren't really all that bad. Or B.A.D., as the case may be.

I bought a new black turtleneck last week. I like to wear it to mock those delusional Apple fanboys.

How's the dole coming along ? by sasquatchan (2.00 / 0) #5 Thu Feb 28, 2008 at 10:44:18 AM EST
decent payout ? Not reduced to selling plasma yet, are you ? And keep leeching the chain of friends for free lunch, and keep going to the place LtD took you -- you can get lots of left overs outta that..



I've decided to retire by Bob Abooey (2.00 / 0) #11 Fri Feb 29, 2008 at 08:04:49 AM EST
And start working on the Great American Novel!

It's a tender love story about hot lesbians who move to Montana and become cowgirls.

Meeting clock and Stacky by theboz (4.00 / 2) #6 Thu Feb 28, 2008 at 11:14:20 AM EST
They were over at my house this past weekend, and everything went fine.  Well, except for the the people that lived within a two mile radius of my house, but at least we had everything sealed off and with lots of lead (which we harvested from the paint on our kids' toys) so I'll probably be able to leave the house in about 138.376 days.
