What Made you Smile/What Ticked you off Today?

You could always throw him out and charge him with trespassing if he won't go. If someone's a pain in the ass you shouldn't have to put up with it, family notwithstanding.

Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger, which served as the basis for the first season of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, is getting a DVD release here in the US!

This. This. This.

Oh man, my hope is that they got the licensing rights for cheap and that they sales threshold they need to call it a success is not too high. I'd love for them to go ahead and start bringing over more of the Sentai seasons, especially ones like Goranger or Dairanger. Hell, I'd even pick up JAKQ if they brought it over.

What about Liveman, Fiveman and Jetman? Basically them and any of the really really great pre-Zyuranger stuff? Oh, and Go-Busters.

And definitely Kamen Rider, so they'd be able to rationalize bringing over Super Hero Taisen and Super Hero Taisen Z, unless someone else gets the licensing rights to the Space Sheriff series and recent films.

Smile: Job interview is over. Talk about a firing squad.

Frown: I think I broke a pinky toe on one of legs of my ottoman this morning. Anyone have a recipe for black toe?

Just add ice cream for some excellent toe ala mode.

Ice cream does make everything better.

What's wrong with blackened toe? WHY DO YOU HATE CAJUNS?

But seriously, ow. I hate when I whack something good and try to take a toe off.

It normally takes me about 45 minutes to get home, without traffic. Today it took me about and hour and a half because of a downed telephone poll


Here's the thing tho, it went down around 4:30PM. I leave work at 6:30, I figured they'd get traffic going by then, but no. It was RIGHT at the corner by the building I work in, and the road was blocked off in the direction I had to go. The road has two lanes on either side and a center turning lane. I don't see why they couldn't just move that shit over and open two lanes (one each direction). At about 6:00 I walked up to the road to check on progress. There was 3 utility trucks, but I didn't see ANY people. What the fuck!? Is the process for clearing that shit really THAT convoluted? So I took a look at the map to plan my route. Of course, the way the traffic is detouring would get me where I need to go but since all the traffic is going that way it's like a parking lot. All the other possible routes would take me a while out of the way (I'd have to circle back). So I decided to take the detour route. A route that should normally take 1 minute took 30 minutes. When I ended up back on the main road, on the other side of the road block, it took me 30 minutes to get to a point that would normally take me a less than a minute to get to!

Not to demean your situation Ziggy, but

Is the process for clearing that shit really THAT convoluted?

If it falls on a road usually yes. In dealing with pole owners daily for the last five years, they will normally take as long as they can to do ANYTHING. My theory is that most of the groups that own them have the lowest amount of people they can in place so to maximize their profits. We recently had a tie permit go from a 2-3 day process to a 5-6 month process with one of the electric companies we have been working with for over 30 years because they decided to slow walk everything so they only need two permit issuers instead of six.
