Reminder: Today is the last day you can buy tobacco products without paying the SCHIP tax.
I, for one, plan on buying them as “collectibles / antiques”. Remember, if you purchase cigar bands as collectibles which happen to have cigars attached, they’re exempt from the tax.
Remember, tobacco within is not for consumption.

A Friendly Reminder About Tobacco

The Aston Martin Tesla and Failing at TURBBBBBOOO
Tesla’s new pictures are leaked onto the internet and there’s a bit of a flap about if they’re supposed to be out there or not. I’m in the camp that any publicity they get is good publicity. If they weren’t shooting for the ultra-luxury market, I would probably own one.
The car (designated Tesla Model S) [...]

Jake DeSantis + Barack Obama = Jake DeSantis
WOW do I have to hat tip Jake DeSantis of AIG today.
He wrote a resignation letter and told Obama to fuck off and die, and he did it in such a way he’s putting Obama’s pariah in the line of fire.
Jake DeSantis, an AIG executive, was so fed up with Obama’s administration that he said [...]

White Castle Doctrine
White Castle Doctrine, lol!
Every time I see this I roll my eyes. On one hand, I empathies with the idea that crimes shouldn’t go unopposed like this. I also understand that if someone is willing to use deadly force for a happy meal and the $500 that was in the register, or whatever, then a [...]

Boycott Sovereign Bank. Or Sovereign Bank sucks.
They’ve jerked me around quite a bit already, this is the staw that tore it for me. Me and my wife are probably going to Wachovia (ATMs everywhere) or Citibank (rave reviews, no ATMs).
Me and my wife knew we were going to overdraft the checking account this pay period when the jeep broke down. She [...]

Who Owns the Penis House?
The BBC is reporting on this prank and says that this two million US dollar mansion has been vandalized by it’s owner’s son, who is currently traveling abroad.
Google either has no sense of humor or chose to remove the offensive marking because the house has no penis in this map.

The Jarmidor: Performance Monitoring
I was up at Pet Smart buying cat food since the cats have managed to eat us out of house and home yet again and I happened to be looking at the reptiles.
Suddenly, inspiration struck. Reptiles need the right temperature, because they are cold blooded, but they also live in a humid, humid rainforest. What [...]

Operation Repo
Operation Repo continues to surprise me.
It started when the Caucasian Hitler Enthusiast Matt decided to yell something like “I LOVE STEALING BACK FROM BLACKS” in the first episode of the second, or third year. Hard to tell since the show was on well before that moment without much in terms of ratings. I’m absolutely sure [...]

The Jarmidor: One Week Later
The Jarmidor at one week is working well. I wish I had a hygrometer, but the smaller ones which are accurate (read: digital) are expensive ($25+), while you can find big ones for $7 – but you can’t calibrate them or fit them into the jar. I’ve resigned to “do it by feel”.
Since I have [...]
