Customer "Service"
I was at the grocery store yesterday buying dinner.
I go to get in the check out line and start running through the grocery list in my head, making sure I have everything checked off when I hear the cashier say to the man in front of me:
"Sir, would you like your meat wrapped in plastic?"
Whoa. They must be running a special.

A Step Too Far....
Hey Guys,
This won't be a funny one unfortunately. I know right over there in the Salad Bar, it says The Tree will have nothing to do with forcing political views down your throat, and trust me, we won't.
But frankly, I have to say, its simply appalling what this Country has turned into when it comes to politics. People have turned it into the Super Bowl. Its nothing but mud-slinging and trash talk about either candidate and/or their party.
Look, the truth of the matter is this: Bush isn't the Devil, Obama isn't the Messiah. They're politicians. Their word can only be taken AFTER they've followed through on what they promise. That happens very rarely. They're professional liars who make a living telling the public EXACTLY what they want to hear.
Unfortunately, it seems like people have become so easily fooled that they follow these political leaders with a cult-like frenzy. Taking up name calling and slander as their banner into what's become a verbal war. I can't tell you how many blogs I've read in the last day and half that feature Sarah Palin's report card from High School. HIGH SCHOOL. Really? You mean the time when 90% of the students are going through their own personal hell (read: puberty) and have to deal with growing up, studying and finding their selves? How absolutely absurd. If Governor Palin's report card from High School is to be used against her, then get Obama, Bidan and McCain's up there. In fact, let's get EVERYONE's report card up there? Conservative and Liberal.
Guys, it's time to fuckin' grow up. We need to allow people to make their own decisions when it comes to politics, religion and really, anything else. Nothing makes one person more right than someone else when it comes to our own personal views, and lowering ourselves to this "he said, she said" bullshit in politics just makes us look like a bunch of screaming idiots.
I CAN NOT WAIT until November 5th. I simply can't. Whoever becomes president, I just would like to once again go about my day and not have someone think of me as such an idiot that I'd be so easily persuaded by what's written or said in the media.

Yar!
I'm truly astonished.
I've been following this story for a week or so now, and really, it just blows my mind that the world has a legitimate Pirate problem.
Not music piracy or film piracy.
Full force, scurvy at sea, walking the plank, skull and crossbones piracy.
In this most recent news story, some (radical) pirates hijacked a ship carrying tanks (as in Panzer, Tiger 1 Tanks) off the coast of Somalia, and for almost 2 weeks now, have been holding their ground while the world's military closes in.
I have to say...I'm kinda cheering for the Pirates.
Don't get me wrong...not in the fact that they're stealing, or hijacking weapons, nothing of the "rage against the the civilized world" kinda cheering. I'm just impressed at the gigantic set of brass kohonies these guys have for standing their ground against the militaries of the world. Even Uncle Russ is helping out.
It's only a matter of time before they get whooped though.
Now I'm just waiting to hear reports from Japan that Ninjas have been spotted.

22-Year-Old Auctions Off Virginity to Pay for College
Wednesday, September 10, 2008
A 22-year-old college grad looking to pay off her student loans will auction off her virginity at Nevada's infamous Moonlight Bunny Ranch, Us magazine reported.
The Sacramento State grad, who uses the pseudonym "Natalie Dylan," told "The Insider" she is "ready for the controversy."
"I don't think auctioning my virginity will solve all my problems, but it will create some financial stability," she said, according to the magazine.
Dylan was turned down by eBay, and shock-jock Howard Stern denied reports he has a hand in the stunt.
"Through this process I'm not just looking for the highest bidder," she said, Us magazine reported. "I'm looking for someone who is a genuine, overall nice person."
Dylan said she is willing to undergo a medical exam, and took a polygraph to prove she is a virgin.

Okay, there are just so many things that make me cringe in this article, but lets just put it this way:
There's a time and a place for this sort of thing.
