Ungo is Ungood

So after I bought the black beauty that is my truck, I had some dude (okay, a car audio installation professional) put in a starter imbolizer and power door locks....the starter kill was made by Ungo. Fast forward 3 years (approximately today), and note that the stupid FOBs no longer work! And guess what, Ungo won't replace them. They don't even have extras floating around that I could purchase. I am left with a keyless entry and security system installed, but I can't use it! And, this is the best part, even if I wanted to install say a remote starter made by Ungo, they can't integrate the two!!

What a pant load of customer service and quality design that was!! So, heed this cautionary tale - Dungo near Ungo.

The dog is Krazy

Like, electronics store sell out, Krazy, he'd rather sell it then count it Krazy. The trophy wife and I just, to satisfy his jones, stood one at the top and one at the bottom of the stairs. We then took turns "scaring" the dog to run up and/or down the stairs....b/c this is what he likes to do. Now he's panting like a Million Dollar porn star...which is kinda gross....and I just had to surgically remove a roll of Hemp Rope from his mouth....Krazy dog.

Freakonomics is Freakagood

Can I suggest to ya'll that you read Freakonomics as soon as humanly possible?

It's quite entertaining....I, being the wild man that I am, normally go to bed like 10pm, shut the lids like 10:45pm, start the snore at 10:46pm. Not last night my friends. Last night I dove into Freakanomics and i was awake and readin' until 11:26pm.

Among other kewl ideas, Steven Levitt explains that the sky rocketing U.S. crime levels of the mid-90's didn't drop because of new Policing tactics, or public awareness campaings....but because of the 1972 ruling on Roe v. Wade in the U.S. Simply put, fewer "likely criminals" were coming of age in the mid-late 90's then had been in the late 80's early 90's...because fewer "likely criminals - kids of single, poor, uneducated, drug addicted mothers" were being born.....that's wicked AND weird.

Just a Gigalo, every where he goes....

So....anyone follow Canadian politics? David Emerson, formerly of the Liberal clan, this morning crossed the floor to the Conservative party to become the newly minted Minister of International Trade. As yet, there hasn't been a lot of cat calls from from the stands. I haven't yet heard Tony Abbott refer to Emerson as a "power hungry Gigalo"....but here's hopin'.

I guess what's good for the goose, ISN'T in fact good for the gander.

................When the end comes I know/ they'll say just a gigolo/ as life goes on/ without me.........
