Ugliest Dog Day 2024
    ugly dog

I have owned a few companion animals over the years. They have been canines as well as rodentia and even a marsupial or two. In the end I am left satisfied that I am not the perfect dog owner. Far from it. So I simply decline to have a dog anymore in an effort to be more responsible.

I can't see myself hugging and kissing some of the dogs I encounter anyway.

Today is Ugliest Dog Day — a rather dubious celebration of the ugliest dogs around.

So regardless of your position regarding canines and beauty, get out there and hug that ugly dog of yours. I personally intend to abstain for the immediate future.

National Martini Day 2024
Vodka Martini    
I had friends who were a couple my age and drank martinis every day. They would always order them "with twists". I thought it amusing. Then one day they were unable to have their several martinis one day and I got a gander at their deprived personalities. The normally amicable pair were frowning and tense with a distinct pouting edge I had never seen before.

Suffice it to say that when you become accustomed to something your way over time you may find yourself having to cope when should it become unavailable for whatever reason.

I used to be known to drink a martini or two ... or three. I have never missed it when it wasn't there and could laugh in the face of it's unavailability.

Today is National Martini Day.

Formerly known as 'The Martinez' which was a gold rush town for which it was named and where it was invented, the martini remains a staple of barflies everywhere. Early on they were constructs of wine, gin, and an olive. These days many flavorings find themselves in the various recipes.

So June 19 is your day to sit and sip one if you're so inclined. Try not to let it control you.

Happy National Martini Day !

International Sushi Day 2024
    Mr Ryo beside his aquarium at Inakaya Watanabe

When I think of sushi I think of Inakaya Watanabe on Jamil Road in St Andrews.

I have been going there quite the long time and my tastes have evolved into a sophistication I never thought I would know.

I was opposed to consuming raw fish for years prior to my first visit. After that it was all over. It was simply too delicious !

Those taste sensations created by the itamae Ryo-San are something to long for when you're not there. I typically dine with a lot of others who say how they go there several days a week.

In actuality I would love that but I typically consume a check in the range of $120 so it may not be feasible.

Today is International Sushi Day.

It is held June 18th anually and is one of the many fine times to enjoy a plate or two of sushi.

Now I like a little sashimi and other things with my meal but the attractions for me personally are Toro, Saba, and Unagi.

I simply can't ever get enough ...

Happy International Sushi Day to you !

Mama at 86 Years Young
Happy Birthday Mama !


Today I celebrate the one so important in my life. My life would be incomplete without my mother. She has been with me through all the good and the bad times. I want to take this special day and use it as an opportunity to thank her for all that she does.

Wishing you a very happy birthday dearest Momsy.

Happy Father's Day 2024
Today is Fathers Day. Both of my fathers, my biological father whom I called 'Daddy' and my stepfather whom I called either 'Johnny' or 'Dad' have both gone on to their rewards in Heaven. Though I miss them every day I am happy that neither are suffering and we attempt to pay our respects at their places of interment as often as possible.

My Daddy Jim Williamson Jr Happy Fathers Day My Dad Johnny Henderson Pruett

I try to remember those lessons they taught me. Both taught me many things I had never considered. I also recall that as my Daddy told me often as a child that he was the best friend I'd ever have. Each passing day makes that fact so much more clearer to me as I progress through this same aging process they both underwent that has me firmly in it's grasp.

I was lucky to have two of the best friends I'd ever have. So Happy Father's Day in Heaven. I miss Daddy and Johnny.

National Smile Power Day 2024
National Smile Power Day    
I once smiled a lot less than I do now. Call it a function of attitude or failure to thrive ... I was often a sullen withdrawn child. This is the result of that hostility I perceived in public education. They simply lacked what it took to educate me.

Nowadays I smile a lot more and my interactions are more spontaneous — and I even attempt to be pleasant most times.

This is because I have proven myself in the workaday world. I have skills most others lack. I enjoy the prestige of a technical existence.

Today is National Smile Power Day. It is observed each June 15.

I don't know how the day arose, nor do I really care. It's another once of those 'vehicles' through which we attempt to export something to the masses. This something happens to be a facial expression.

I used to think smiling to be mostly a frivilous pursuit reserved for silly little girls. Then I encountered a number of fool boys who thought it was okay to be stupid as long as they sported a grin along with their blank expression. Now I at least attempt to meet you half way. This wasn't always the case. I no longer view smiling or a pleasant demeanor to be an aspect of frivolity.

The things that make me smile most these days is thwarting some hacker who thinks he has what it takes to exploit anyone and everyone.

Happy National Smile Power Day to you ... if it floats your boat.

Flag Day 2024

Another Flag Day is upon us. This day marks the Second Continental Congress adoption of the first US national flag on June 14, 1777.
 

God Bless America


The 'Stars and Stripes' are an important feature of my personal life. Being a Navy brat I grew up patriotic. This is why the heathen unscrupulous immoral democrats piss me off to high heaven with their never ending attempts to ruin the Republic "for which it stands" and place it under their exclusive anti-USA immoral rule ...

I'm satisfied not to have any more states added to the Union and more so — to get rid of all of jerkwad Joe Biden's illegal aliens ... by an means necessary. I would be okay with getting rid of all the democrats in a similar fashion.

Happy Flag Day and illegals your days are numbered.

God bless America.

Death to Microsoft
    DEATH to Windows

I'm losing the lame pig Windows 10. I don't even want to look at Windows 11. ☠

My mom is fine with Windows 10 and likely would be fine with Windows 11. She surfs the web and does a little email and that's it.

As for me, I'm TIRED of being ENSLAVED to a third rate product produced by a dumb ass sand nigger CEO at a company owned by a psychopath out to kill most if not ALL of the people of the planet. ☠

Stupid Microsoft customers enable him to mess with the food, the vaccines, and the air ... ☠

And I'm pretty sick of all of you insipid zero ability GUI addicted technopussies. ☠
 

Bill Gates is a psychotic pig    

No, I could NOT care less about Microsoft or any fool who works there. They are ALL a bunch of lamers as far as I am concerned. ☠

Never ending updates. Downloads that fail to operate and impede your workflow. Breakage of their product by that which they FORCE upon you. They talk about how it's supplied "as is" and I should be thankful that I got a free update from Windows 8 ... ☠

Which I prefered very much over Windows 10. ☠

So Linux desktop here I come. Microsoft prepare to be firewalled to the depth and breadth and height my soul can reach. I simply do not need you or your junk product line, sand nigger Satya Nadella, nor psychopath Bill Gates. ☠

Boo. ☠

Boo psychopath Bill Gates ☠
Boo sand nigger Satya Nadella ☠
Boo stupid Microsoft ☠
Boo stupider Windoze ☠

Superman Day 2024
Superman was an all time favorite character of mine who I followed throughout my entire life. From the early days of George Reeves to the Man of Steel of today I was a fan of the highest order.

Superman Day is celebrated on June 12 annually.

Supermen

It celebrates the character from Krypton who came here to save us from various threats. Kal-El from the dead planet called Krypton possessed powers far beyond those of mortal people. He has been a beacon of hope that we might overcome and rid ourselves of the evil democrats and the ruination brought on by their woke ilk.

Happy Superman Day.

National call your Doctor Day 2024
    Alfred E Neuman MD
National call your Doctor Day is a farce. The woke left has allowed so many totally unqualified persons to enter medical school that they are neither passing the coursework nor capable of sound medical decision making.

One of these woke rejects may be your next physician. Merit should be the basis of admission not race you idiots.

This is perfectly evidenced by the moron physicians supporting transgender youngsters in the United States. The absolute stupidity of so many physicians regarding genetics in medicine could not be more pronounced.

There will be a reckoning sooner rather than later when the medical profession is no longer trusted as the legal profession is now.

Read the writing on the wall stupid people.

Today is National Call Your Doctor Day. It is held on the second Tuesday of June. This year it falls on June 11. It's purposes is allegedly to remind and encourage women to schedule their yearly Well-Woman Exam.

My doctor is a nurse clinician trained in the military under battle conditions. We have a certain rapport and do not suffer fools lightly. He understands my background and appreciates my value as a medical historian. I have no intention of departing his care anytime soon.

If you have the stupid osteopath who involved herself with my stepfather you will likely die like he did. All because Richland County South Carolina requires their 911 service to take you to their stupid Richland County Prisma location which is run primarily by dullard asshole students who
think they know things they do not know. The crook ass Baptist Hospital is
owned by this same group of inadequates.

They should let the patient decide which hospital they want. Prisma can then go out of business as they should have long ago.

Boo !

Unscrupulous Immoral Ecommerce
fedora    
Ah, the dreaded tricky-dick shopping cart. You go to a search engine, find an item then proceed to the site and place it in the shopping cart.

The price automagically rises by a factor of 2 and there are hidden surcharges and other mess used to generate fundage for the immoral vendor and leave you feeling chapped over the unscrupulous business dealings.

So. I quit doing business with the cheats at Amazon and Ebay lost my businness because they are in cahoots with Amazon. I don't allow a shopping cart to exist unless the stated charges before the sale are the actual charges at the sale. We have stupid immoral retail establishments on the internet anymore. This is why my purchases have migrated back to a brick and mortar environment where what I see is what I get and the charges are plainly stated and remain intact for the duration of the transaction.

Shove that retail crooks.

National Iced Tea Day 2024
    Glass of Iced Tea

Early on in my life I was quite the tea drinker. I favored sweet tea made by my Mama. I think everybody likes their mother's tea the best and hers was mine.

I recall Grandma Ida's version made with loose tea in her stainless steel tea brewing pot. She would always add a little baking soda to make it less acidic at the end of brewing..

I would also sit and drink her tea with meals but she typically had several choices of drink ready to go including lemonade and soft drinks. My grandma Ida was a most gracious host and loved me dearly.

I don't know when it was that I began gravitating towards other beverages, but I think it was right about my enlistment and I'm afraid that I never fell back into my tea guzzling days of yore.

Of course, I do drink unsweetened iced tea today in an effort to be both well hydrated and metabolically conscious.

Today is National Iced Tea Day which comes each June 10.

It's a day to enjoy a tall glass of your favorite iced tea, be it sweetened or unsweetened.

Iced tea has been a favorite in the United States beginning in 1904 at the St Louis World’s Fair.

It seems that the weather was unspeakably hot and glasses of iced tea for sold for a cold refreshment. The rest, as they say is history.

National Sex Day 2024
footside sex    

Sex has caused me the full gamut of issues, ideas, and answers in the context of my life.

I cannot count the jokes sex has brought to mind. Some of them were funny. Some of them were abrasive. Others uncalled for and obscene. However, they were never as bad as epsodes in real life we have among us.

As far as I am concerned that is a capital offense. There may come a reckoning sooner than later so you need to consider that image you project and what nasty human being you bring into the White House you immoral swine. Why those living quarters they occupied were not demolished and rebuilt I'll never know.

Some of us look at it as a procreation vehicle first and foremost. Others of us see it as a mechanism to express closeness and intimacy. Still others take a more selfish approach and pursue the almighty orgasm as though nothing else matters.

"My body, my choice" pretty much says it all. These people pursue sex then abort the products of conception on demand without another thought. Usually they have green, blue, or crayola red hair. I find it difficult to fathom how they can go totally self righteousness out in public flashing signs to that effect and chanting how nothing aside from their carnal pursuits and having sex with as many others as humanly possible is what it's all about.

Today is National Sex Day.

It is about having sexual relations, engaging in pleasurable activities, and exploring each other’s bodies. Thoughts of connecting beyond that may or may not come to the fore. My tastes like everything else in my world have evolved over time. I have always been cognizant of procreation and it's relationship to sex and have therefore tried to be responsible and not father 20 kids by 20 women — supporting none of them — as some of those known to me have done.

June 9 was chosen due to it's similarity to the sexual position of French origin called soixante-neuf. Other factors involved in the origins of the day remain unknown.

So, though we may not need the Kama Sutra for any instructional purpose sex remains a driving force in many of our lives. Just try not to give your offspring some fucked up name which began with the black people and has spread to the white idiots ... as is happening with increasing prevalence.

World Gin Day 2024
    Gin and Tonic
When I was in the Navy I cultivated a taste for alcohol then drank a fair amount. When I entered I couldn't drink a single beer. When I reached my end of service I could turn them up one after another.

It seems that the Enlisted Mens Club on base was a good place for low cost doubles of Screwdrivers and Gin and Tonics.

Whereas I began as primarily a Screwdriver drinker briefly I gravitated towards Gin and Tonic as what I perceived to be a more "manly" alternative.

Gin is distilled from juniper berries and contains about 40% alcohol. It enjoys widespread favor from alkies like I used to be ...

Suffice it to say that the Gin mixed drink has dominated my long gone barfly days and in retrospect I view it as a superior choice.

While I no longer imbibe since the early 1990s, my memories of Gin remain favorable as I never suffered a hangover in my entire life.

I attribute this to being my father's son. He too had a high tolerance for alcohol. Though he could drink with the best of them I never saw him appearing "drunk" in his lifetime.

So regardless, Happy World Gin Day to you !
