OK, I fell asleep with the television on. I usually do. But I fell asleep watching the State of The Union. This is not hard to do! Why do I even bother watching that? I want to hear what the president has to say regardless of who it is. But I can never get through those long boring ass speeches.
So I fell asleep half way through George W's Bushit. But a few hours later I woke up to the sound and flashing TV screen lights of the movie "Snakes On A Plane". My TV had "auto tuned" to HBO for a movie I wanted to watch earler but I slept so I missed it. But that damn snakes movie brought me out of a sleep.
NOW MY GROWN ASS IS AFRAID TO GO TO BACK TO SLEEP!!
All of those snakes taking over the plane! ARGGGGGH!!
Am I afraid of snakes? (yes!!!) And I already don't like to fly. I do it occasionally but I try my best to sleep through it. I don't like being trapped and the Snakes on the Plane idea scares the shit out of me.
Call me a WUSS if you want. I will call it SURVIVAL!!
The few minutes I saw of "Snakes On A Plane" had me lifting my feet off the floor. No other movie has done that since the first time I saw "Jaws" at the drive in when it first came out. (yes I am an old fart!)
That movie scared my seven year old little ass when I watched a man slide right into the big shark's mouth. (gobble gobble). I jumped so hard that I nearly created a sunroof in a Monte Carlo.
I hate to know how bad I would feel right now if I had Snakes On a Plane in High Def!!

DumbASSes of the week: Snow Day, Taking the bus and Frozen gas.
I think I should start a weekly blog feature.
The DumbASSes of the week, featuring STUPID people and the STUPID things they do.
These are thing that make you ask "What the F*** were they thinking?" Now I don't normally use that "F" word but sometimes you hear a story about someone who is so stupid, that "F" word seems more appropiate.
Here are a couple news stories to consider.
(CLICK ON THE HEADLINE TO READ THE STORY)
FIRST: I cannot find an article about this online but I heard on the radio about a man who lives in the midwest where the temperatures are around ZERO. He could not get his car started because the gas line in his car had frozen.
His idea to solve this problem? He lit candles and positioned them under the hood of the car. It worked!
He thawed the frozen gas line and blew up the car and the house where the car was parked. OOPS!
I think that person qualifies as one of the "DumbASSes of the week"
Here are news stories with the articles
BANK ROBBER GETS ARRESTED WHILE WAITING FOR CITY BUS
A woman robs a bank and uses public transportation as her getaway. This has happened before. A criminal robs a bank then instead of using a getaway car or carjacking someone, they decide to take the bus. But did this dumbASS know the bus schedule?
SNOW DAY VOICE MAIL
So a High School BRAT calls the private home phone of a school adminstrator to complain because the schools were not closed when the area got a few inches of snow. The administrators wife got a little "pissed" about this and called the 17 year old student back and left him a not-so-nice response. Then the student posts her voice mail online.
Here I have to comment. The student was WRONG for this. The wife who left the message had an honest angry reaction to it and she was RIGHT ON for expressing herself. One thing you DON'T EVER DO is call anyone's private residence for business related concerns.
My problem with this "snow day" thing is that schools today will close for a half inch of snow. The forecast for Northern Virginia where this "snow day" incident happened was for 3 inches of snow. I went to High School in New York and they NEVER closed the schools when it snowed a few inches. I remember when it snowed 2 feet and they still had school open and I WENT TO SCHOOL. Sure attendance was low that day but I went to school anyway. And this little high school brat whines about having to go to school with THREE INCHES of snow? What a WUSS! He was in Northern Virgina WHERE THEY DO GET SNOW. I might have cut a little slack if this had happened in Georgia where they don't get much snow and can't handle it if they did. But even then, it is never a good excuse to pull the stunt this smart ass 17 year old did.
I am going to borrow a phrase I heard coined by my favorite radio talk show host Neal Boortz. This is another example of the "WUSSifacation of America" when a high school student makes an issue out of having to go to class when it snows outside.
Yeah, Dave Kori the high school student is one of the "DumbASSes of the week".
And there are so many more DumbASSes out there. But have work to do. I am sure I will have more "DumbASSes" to talk about later.
