The fid's poetry slam
ODE TO POTTED MEAT
Oh how I sing the praises of potted meat
Paté of the gods, aroma so sweet
I long for the post-consumption rectal burn
Oh beef byproducts for thee I yearn
With that delicious sodium erythorbate
My hunger will never have to wait
Cooked beef fat tissue solids and beef tripe
Its not just a bunch of hype
Eat it like the pig you are
Just pray that a toilet is not that far!
My brother and I used to play a silly little game of "hide the potted meat" in our now departed cousin's car. We would open a can of the meat and put it under the seat, or up in the dash, or in other various hidden places in his car. It usually took about two days for him to figure out that he had been potted.
My brother also put the leg from a freshly dead deer in his brother-in-law's truck underneath the driver seat. It took about a week for the poor bastard to figure that one out.
My brother is evil. I am pure and perfect.

An Obscene Christmas
You know, our families aren't rich and I know why. Every crismas everyone in our families spend an obscene amount of money (when compared to their income) on krismas presents for everyone else. The wife alone spent over $2000 on gifts. Not one single gift was over $100 in value. She buys for all her cousin and his wife and kids, her parents, my parents, her aunt and uncle, her brother, my brother and his wife, my nephew, four or five of her friends, and last and certainly least, me. That is a total of about 21 individuals.
The daughter received a silly amount of presents - toys, stuffed animals, crap. I wish those people who spend their hard earned money on this crap would instead put that money toward her college fund. At least the mother and brother-in-law did give to her college fund. So all is not lost.
I don't understand this culture of losing your mind at and around December 25. I say spread it out through the year and if you are going to blow your synapses over giving, do so responsibly.
Can't sleep again tonight. Went to sleep about 11:00 and woke up to piss about 2:15 and couldn't go back to sleep with the seven remaining brain cells working overtime. Usually is work that those cells are tripping over. So when I can't sleep, I blog. But for me a blog is usually a whining session. Am I really that negative?
The daughter got a new play toy for the pagan holiday on the 25th. It is a bath toy that has a round floating piece of plastic with a palm tree in the center. The palm tree has a trunk made of transparent plastic with an auger looking thing in the middle. It has holes in the top where you can pour water and watch the auger spin as the water trickles down the inside of the trunk and out the bottom. She spent about 10 minutes with the palm tree alone. Then this toy has Ernie, Elmo and Telly (Sesame St. Characters) hanging out around the peripheial. She had to wash each of those characters feet and then their hair. She held out her hand and asked for the squirt soap by saying "peace" which means "please" to her. Moments like that I really cherish.
The daughter got pissed off when I started draining the tub and of course she wouldn't leave her new bath toy behind- we had to take it with her to the other bathroom to brush her teeth.
The daughter will be two years old Jan 22, 2006. She is ready to be potty trained. We need to get that done before the twins arrive.
Now it is 4:45 a.m. and I am going to put on my swimsuit to get ready to go swimming. I am working out with this maniac who is training for a half ironman triathlon. For some reason he has convinced me to train with him and it involved going to the workout facility at the satanic hour of 5:15 a.m. If I don't get up and work out at that time I won't do it at all. And allah knows that I need to work out after what I ate over this obscene holiday.

Where's Waldo, I mean, Dildo?
This is driving my wife insane and it is funny as shit!
Below is the picture of our beautiful daughter that we sent out in our x-mas cards this year to over 100 of our closest friends. See if you can spot anything unusual.
Did you see it? Look at the upper left hand corner of the picture.
My brother called me and I could barely understand him through his tears of laughter. He asked me "what the hell is a dildo doing in that picture?"
So I took the picture to my wife and pointed it out. Her response was something along the lines that my brother was a perverted freak and that she wasn't worried about it- no one else would notice it.
The wife and I went to a kistmas party last weekend and one of my best friends greeted us at the door with the picture in hand. Much like my brother he was hysterical with laughter as he attempted to ask me and my wife about the phallic object in the picture. The wife promptly informed my friend that he was a perverted freak as well and that most people would not see the dildo in the picture with my innocent two year old daughter.
So naturally the picture is passed around at the party to get a survey of the individuals who could quickly identify the "dildo" in the picture.
Much to my wife's chagrin most people actually did see the offending member. Nevertheless she took it all in good stride and was even able to laugh about the fact that we had what looked like a "dildo" beside our innocent child's head in the picture that went out to our elderly aunts, grandparents, cousins, ministers, and the like.
At the party the joke continued and expanded. We had suggestions that next year we hide several dildos in the picture and instead of the proverbial "Where's Waldo?" we could challenge our friends who received our x-mas card to play "Where's Dildo?" It was also suggested that we fashion cribs made out of dildos for our twins to put in the picture next year.
Okay, okay, so why is there a dildo in the picture with the daughter? No we are not perverts or child molesters and we don't own any dildos. Below is the picture before it was cropped to send out to our friends and family:
As you can see the picture is innocent enough. The dildo is actually the handle to her $15 Target bought rocking horse.
At least we could bring some cheer to our friends this x-mas.

Sexless
Three months and counting. It could be four. I can't even remember the last time I had sex. I am unlikely to have sex again for another six or seven months. Yes, it is bothering me. I have a pretty damn strong sex drive. The wife is pregnant and is concerned that having sex could cause a problem in light of all the past bleeding problems that she had earlier in the pregnancy.
She asked me if I was thinking of cheating on her. I told her no- besides who would be the other willing party?
Went to her good friend's birthday party tonight at a crowded and loud restaurant. Last year we went to the same birthday party at the same restaurant. I was not wearing a wedding ring at that time. I have been told that a girl at the party last year was asking about me. As in "what is his story? Who is he?" So I guess I can take that as maybe she found me attractive. The wife was the one who relayed this story to me. The girl who was asking about me last year was there again tonight.
She is cute. Has a nice body. Blonde and sexy. If I were going to cheat on my wife I would like to have sex with that girl- assuming that she would want anything to do with me. Which of course she wouldn't because I am married. Even if she were willing, I would not have the balls to have sex with her. I am doomed to a sexless, sexually frustrated sex life. Well, I guess after the twins are born I will have sex again- but that isn't until late May. It just feels like forever.
The sex life isn't the most exciting with the wife. It never really has been. We never really had that wild sex thing. So I feel that I am missing out on a certain part of my life. But my family is more important so I sacrifice the fulfillment of those desires.
I hate our fucking cats. Two of them. Annoying as hell. It is 2:00 am right now- can't sleep and those fucking cats are scratching on the door of the garage wanting out.
The wife gave away the dog yesterday. The dog never stayed at our house anyway. He stayed with the neighbor three houses down. The dog was so fucking annoying. He constantly begged for attention and incessantly whined. The neighbor loves the dog and was willing to take over complete ownership. The neighbor had already taken over full responsibility for feeding and she was glad to become the new owner.
Our pets are so damn annoying. Maybe a trip to the pound is in order for the cats. Well the daughter loves the cats so i guess i won't do that. But one of the cats is sixty-nine times more annoying than the other so maybe she can go to another good home that can put up with her annoyances.
I ramble at 2:00 in the morning.
I need sex at 2:00 in the morning.
I need sex at 1:00 in the afternoon.
Come to think of it, I need sex at any time during the day or night.
I used to have a great sex life before I met the wife. I shouldn't think back to that time- it tends to depress me somewhat.
The reader (as if anyone will ever read this besides myself) might think that I do not love my wife. Nothing could be farther from the truth. I love her more deeply than i have ever loved anyone in my life. We are a very good match. We come from similar backgrounds, have similar views on most topics, have similar morals and life goals. Passion and sex are what is missing for me. I love my family and don't want my current situation with my family to change. I just have a desire to fill the one hole in my life. But I probably will not be able to fill that hole without destroying my family. I will not jeapordize my family in order to make my life complete.
I guess it just goes to prove that you can't have everything you want in life.

Sleepless in the garage
Just spent 3.5 hours working on the damn Dodge- got the manifold back on but I might have big problems. I was trying to get the remainder of a rubber gasket out of a little pin hole wit a screw (don't ask me why a screw) and then it slipped out of my hand and fell somewhere. I didn't hear it hit metal and I didn't hear it hit the floor. I spent about an hour looking at the cam shaft and the distributor gear and had no luck finding it. I really really hope it didn't fall into where the cam shaft is. I will end up with some big problems if so.
I know no one reads this blog, but I guess it really is just for me.
Two, four, six, eight. Oral sex is really great.
Speaking of sex, I haven't had sex in well over three months- hell it could be longer- going through the damn in vitro fertilization I was not supposed to pork the wife and then after she got knocked up she has had these bleeding spells so the doctor calls for "pelvic rest" I had never heard it called that before and neither had the wife so when they told us that the first time we both looked at the doctor like they were speaking a foreign dialect of Estonian. He had to explain it to us. Damn are we ignorant.
I never thought I would know all the characters on Sesame Street.
The daughter is wild- she has broken at least five ornaments on the tree and is starting to not eat much at dinner. She pulled that shit tonight and the wife gave her a cookie because she wasn't eating anything else. I don't know where to go with that one.
The triathlon training buddy thinks I am getting up at 4:30 to meet him at 5:15. Considering it is past midnight now, I am pretty positive that will not happen.
There once was a lady who lived in a shoe
she had so many children
her uterus fell out.
Andrew Dice Clay rules.
I am delirious.

No Space
At our distribution center we have no space. We get at least two inbound containers a week and we have about 20,000 square feet to offload containers, load containers, ship LTL and single package shipments, and receive in raw materials. We are growing so we need a larger building. I am stuck because we can't really afford a totally new and different building. That is my conundrum for the day.
Did a little more to the Dodge tonight. Put the plenum plate and gasket on the intake manifold. Use the foot pound torque wrench- good enough I figured. Cleaned all the gasket surfaces on the heads and removed all the spark plug wires and plugs. I vacuumed out the spark plug holes and re-installed new spark plugs.
The daughter fell today off the top step of her little step stool where she stands with mommy to help her cook and play with water. Mommy said she really hit her head on the wood floor and was considering taking her to the hospital. We both contemplated this evening over dinner how you would know a 22 month old had a concussion. I guessed you could tell simply by the change in the way they acted- maybe a little disoriented- maybe a little more confused than normal. Wait a second, I must have a permanent concussion.
There is a little op-ed war in our little town back-asswards newspaper. These jackasses are writing in to complain how stores are putting up in signage "Happy Holidays" instead of "Merry Christmas" in efforts to avoid offending certain people. These idiots are writing the paper compliaing that these stores are aiding and abetting those who want to take Christ out of Christmas. Sometimes I really hate living in the bible belt. I believe that in general, people around here are way too closed minded.
Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against religions or Christianity. I was raised in a Lutheran Church and taught as a little kid to believe. When I grew old enough to think for myself my beliefs have changed dramatically, but nevertheless, I respect those who have different beliefs than me and I don't have a problem with those who treat others with respect and don't try to force their beliefs on others. When people start telling me that I am going to hell because of what I believe or don't believe I feel very sorry that they have to lead a life of such closed mindedness.
Don't get me started on fundamentalism. Jesus love me... but he can't stand you!!!

I need tools
I need a freaking new torque wrench to put my plenum plate back on the intake manifold. I have a torque wrench but it's range is too high I need something that starts at 20 inch-pounds and mine starts at 10 foot-pounds.
Rainy cold day here in NC but good news is that the inventory numbers are looking pretty close- word from the auditors. The gutters on the building at work are leaking in 2 places and need to be repaired. I talked to the president of a company that markets camouflage suits who is interested in us making them for him. I have a lot of work to get done before I can quote him. Yale forklifts has screwed us over with the last forklift we bought from them. Looks like we are going to have to pay to send it back from Honduras to get it repaired. Sometimes doing business in a developing country is pretty damn frustrating.
The daugher loves the N-gauge toy train I got out. It used to be mine when I was a kid. It is a very small gauge so she is in the process of destroying it. I grabbed her by her feet when she was laying face down on the wood floor in the living room and slung her around- sliding her on her stomach in her sleeper. She loved it. She kept saying "mo, mo, da-da" - meaning more, more! I love her so much- can't explain.

Work, work, work, work
I busted my ass all day yesterday doing the honeydos. I hung over 30 different pictures, towel racks, shelves, etc. The daughter was at the in-laws yesterday so we got a lot of shit done around the house not having to watch every move of a toddler. I pulled all the kristmas shit out from underneath the house- all seven fucking bins of the shit. I hate x-mas because I have do drag all that shit out, help hang all of it up and then help take it all down in about two weeks and put all the shit back up. It wouldn't be so bad if there was only one little bin of that shit but we have seven of those big fucking plastic bins full of kismas crap. I even went to pick up the krismas tree (a waste of $40) and took in the recycling. I fucking hate crimmus.
After doing all I felt kinda guilty cuz I know I should have been working on business stuff. Still haven't finished the damn inventory valuations. I tried to work on them some even tonight but I am too damn tired.
The daughter was in such a bad mood. I guess it is a 22 month's old right to be pissy, but she refused to get in her high chair and refused to eat. When I put her in the high chair, she stiffened up and slid down between the tray and the seat so that just her head was poking out from the tray. She was wailing. I didn't feel like fucking with it so I picked her up and put her on my lap and I ate and she watched.
She didn't want to brush her teeth and didn't want to get dressed in her pajamas. We had put a robe on her and she didn't want that to be taken off so I could put on the pajamas. Boy am I in for a treat when I have three kids like that at one time. It is a wonder my parents didn't kill me.
I still feel like shit. Snot and coughing don't make for good sleep. Okay my whining session is over.

Dodge Pickups Suck
I took off work today at 1:00 to meet one of my mechanics from work at my house to remove the intake manifold bold with the broken head sticking out of the engine's head. If you are a greasemonkey you understand this, if not.. that is okay- you still are important.
The damn bolt had rusted. I didn't know this but when steel rusts it get harder (learn something new every millennium) and this 5/16 bolt had rusted very well. My mechanic went through 5 titanium coated drill bits, one carbide tipped drill bit and 3 cold chisels to get that damn bolt out. I never would have been able to do this myself, but he got it out. I wonder how much he will charge me? I send him on long trips to Honduras frequently and his girlfriend calls him about seven times a day and thinks he is down there partying and screwing Honduran bitches. Nothing could be farther from the truth- he is as loyal as they come.... and it seems to me that she is about as fucked up as they come- makes me appreciate my wife even more.
Anyway, I pay him well when I ship him out of the country- he deserves it so I don't think he will stick it to me.
I am lying in bed- snot almost gone- and typing beside my wife who is asleep. She thinks I am married to this laptop and I am.
Took the daughter to see Santa Claus tonight. She took one look at him and screamed bloody murder. I was the same way when I was two years old. I guess it runs in the family. Distrust of strange looking fat fuckers with beards.
Got this consultant at work- he is charging me $1200 a day to implement a cost system. I fucking hate consultants. I always feel like I have been raped after they are gone. If I feel that way at the end of this project, I am going to hunt the greasy-faced genius down and torture him by taping his mouth shut.
You know the type- talk, talk, talk, ramble, ramble ramble- like Greenspeak. This bastard is so damn smart that when he talks it takes all I have in concentration and brain power to follow his train of thought. He bounces from idea to idea with irrelevant segues. I hate fuckers like that. And he always ends the insipid list of babble with "does that make sense?"
I always say "no" but it doesn't faze him. But I like him anyway. If I don't meet budget because of this unbudgeted expenditure I guess I will hang myself because I won't make my bonus payout and my key employees won't either which will put seven demoralized direct subordinates on my hands.
It is always good to appear as if you know what you are doing.
The damn bolt had rusted. I didn't know this but when steel rusts it get harder (learn something new every millennium) and this 5/16 bolt had rusted very well. My mechanic went through 5 titanium coated drill bits, one carbide tipped drill bit and 3 cold chisels to get that damn bolt out. I never would have been able to do this myself, but he got it out. I wonder how much he will charge me? I send him on long trips to Honduras frequently and his girlfriend calls him about seven times a day and thinks he is down there partying and screwing Honduran bitches. Nothing could be farther from the truth- he is as loyal as they come.... and it seems to me that she is about as fucked up as they come- makes me appreciate my wife even more.
Anyway, I pay him well when I ship him out of the country- he deserves it so I don't think he will stick it to me.

IVF HELL!!
Anyway, the wife and I wanted to have another child- the old fashioned way was not working and neither of us was improving in the ability-to-conceive category so we did the fertility thing.
First it was the subcutaneous injections that stimulated her ovaries to produce multiple follicles per cycle. When the follicles were large enough I got the distinct pleasure of giving my sample with no help from anyone but myself and a copy of Barely Legal. They take my semen sample and put it through some type of wash that removes some of the bad sperm and then inject it into my wife's uterus. The hope is that the sperm will have a better chance of fertilizing an egg since it doesn't have to swim through the vagina and cervix.
After three cycles of that method with no success we bit the bullet and started In Vitro Fertilization (IVF). Joy of all joys, this procedure (as all the others) is not covered by my health insurance- so I tapped the home equity line for the $20,000 it costs to buy 6 tries at IVF.
This IVF thing is really a bitch for both of us. For my wife it is lots of injectible drugs, fucked up hormones, driving to the lab on a daily basis for bloodwork, transvaginal ultrasounds, and the best of all, intramuscular injections of projesterone in sesame oil given by me nightly for 12 nights. For me is it putting up with all that psychological shit. Fortunately for me my wife is usually on an even keel! She rarely gets moody- one of the big reasons I married her. So the mood swings weren't quite as bad as they could have been.
So with this IVF thing after the mother-to-be takes all these drugs to stimulate her ovaries I get to go whack in the plastic cup again (it seems I have done this thousands of times) and then my wife goes in for the egg retrieval. In order to retrieve the eggs my wife has to go through an outpatient procedure. This is very pleasant. The procedure involves sticking a long needle through the sides of the vagina to retrieve the eggs. Since there are two ovaries there are two different needle sticks. Hmm- another good reason to be thankful I am not a woman.
So once they get the eggs they put on some nice music, lower the lights, pop open a bottle of champagne, put some quarters in the vibrating bed and throw the sperm and the eggs together. In our case we had five eggs that fertilized.
After five days they picked the best two embryos and transferred them back into my wife's uterus. Two weeks later we found out that we are having twins!! Holy shit!
