Lips aren't my only hot part

Where's my tinfoil hat?
The signs are up all over work for the flu shot.
Brochures are being distributed.
The executives have prominently signed their names at the beginning of the signup list to encourage us peons to follow suit. People are asking each other "why haven't you signed up yet?" as they pass each other in the hall.
And people are asking why I haven't signed up yet...
Even old friends like my buddy Paul (who I was best man for) are trying to tell me I should get shot. Paul, if you're reading this, because you've allowed the government to inject you with their tracking devices and/or spyware (c'mon, why else would the government be sooooo hot and bothered to get everyone a flu shot?) you will no longer be privy to any juicy secrets that I might want to pass along...I don't need "the man" to find any skeletons in my closet...
You are now cut off.
Seriously though. You have to wonder why healthcare workers in general are so opposed to this. The paramedics in Toronto were close to going out on strike last year when mandetory injections were attempted on them last year.
You have to wonder what they know that we don't. My wife (a Registered Nurse) has told me quite directly that it's within my rights to refuse ANY invasive procedure. And she says it in that knowing voice that tells me there's more to the story and I should just walk away.
You gotta wonder why the peer-pressure from workplaces though. Have they bought the government position hook, line and sinker? Or is this part of some grand conspiracy to track office supplies?
I need to speed construction of my tinfoil hat...
Funny, I'm usually not the one screaming...
Congratulations! You're a screaming orgasm!!

Double Standard
One of the things I hate is the double standard applied to child murderers. When the usually nameless father kills his wife and/or kids and/or self, society has very little sympathy. The guy was a prick, bastard, loser who "couldn't hack it" in real life and great pains are taken to show how big a loser the guy really was.
To be honest, I agree with this approach. Family violence should not be condoned, or "explained" by the situation. The perpetrators should be put under the microscope, judged and punished to the full extent of the law. For someone like a Paul Bernardo the law doesn't go anywhere far enough...
Why the outrage? An article in the National Post.
'I have to do what's best for you'
ST. JOHN'S - Dr. Shirley Turner, who drowned herself and her infant son in the inky black waters of the North Atlantic rather than return to the United States to stand trial for murdering the boy's father, did not want to live without her youngest child, and could not imagine giving him up for adoption, diaries she kept in the months leading up to her death reveal.
Oh, and I thought the first duty of motherhood was to safeguard the wellbeing of her child. Silly me.
Now Dr. Turner lies in a seaside grave, in one of the remote fishing villages on the west coast of Newfoundland where she spent much of her life. Her son's remains were cremated by his paternal grandparents, David and Kathleen Bagby, Americans who have taken up residence in St. John's and vow to remain until they win justice for their murdered son and grandson.
Pretty hard to fight for justice for your murdered son and grandchild when the killer takes her own life, cheating the justice that the Bagby's deserve. It's sad, but the Bagby's will never get justice for this, unless evidence of Dr. Turner rotting in hell can be produced.
On a more personal note...
Just an update (for the one or two who care...)
- Still hate my job
- Still cooking a plan to move out west
- We took delivery of our new Honda Odyssey yesterday. We're now a one-vehicle family. Damn it's a nice vehicle. Rides like a sedan. We're still thinking about a name for it. Current favourite is "The Mystery Machine", mostly because our dog's name is Ruby, aka Ruby-doo!, which makes us the Ruby gang...
- still trying to get started cleaning up the house for sale
It's just so hard to get started...
I Want My Girls to go to this school
...even though I'm not Catholic. My wife is a lapsed one, so maybe Boo and Punkin' can get in...At least for the hand-to-hand (or should I say foot-to-groin) combat training. And then we'd have to live in Philly, too...
Girls pummel man who exposed himself
PHILADELPHIA, Pennsylvania (Reuters) -- A man described by authorities as a known sexual predator was chased through the streets of South Philadelphia by an angry crowd of Catholic high school girls, who kicked and punched him after he was tackled by neighbors, police said Friday.
Good.
