That's how long I worked yesterday.  Seriously, I've never seen more product flooding into these stores in seven years...  Except for my brave and bold peers who are running the close-out stores.  You'd think, when you close a store down, that all they do is liquidate the existing product.  However, they're liquidating everything that is overstock from everywhere.  Genius!  Exhausting, but genius.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;So my shifts were from 9am to 6:30pm on Monday, then back in at 9:30pm through 6:37am this morning.

The watering bans, the bottled water, the dry lake beds. How could anybody forget taking a bath in one level cup of water...? What? You mean I'm the only one who did my part? C'mon... ;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyhow, those of you who experienced it first hand will remember Georgia Governor Sonny Perdue's desperate attempt to bring us relief. If not, I will bring you up to speed: Governor Sonny Perdue organized a prayer group to conjure rain for the dry and dusty South.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At the time, it appeared that nobody was listening, and the South continue to thirst.  That is, until now...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Based on our recent great quantities of rainfall, we can conclude with confidence that the hold time for group prayer is at least two years. So great job, Mr. Perdue. You did it!  I will enjoy fishing this summer, thanks to you. More importantly, may I wash my freakin' car on Saturdays, again?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.astoundingpictures.com/blog/prayersanswered.jpg"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.astoundingpictures.com/blog/prayersanswered.jpg" border="0" alt="" style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px; " /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;Fondest regards,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.astoundingpictures.com/"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;Herbington Six Million&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;(Now with Waders)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3583128444014312497-6569529214110229869?l=astoundingmedia.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://astoundingmedia.blogspot.com/feeds/6569529214110229869/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3583128444014312497&amp;postID=6569529214110229869' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3583128444014312497/posts/default/6569529214110229869'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3583128444014312497/posts/default/6569529214110229869'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://astoundingmedia.blogspot.com/2009/10/hold-time-for-your-group-prayer-is-two.html' title='Hold Time for Group Prayer Two Years'/><author><name>blogs</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3583128444014312497.post-7957365464212361412</id><published>2009-10-09T00:51:00.008-04:00</published><updated>2009-10-09T01:14:25.755-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='duck'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='dr'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='dollas'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='creative'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='loafing'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='return'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cranium'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='youtube'/><title type='text'>Duck Dollas and the Return of Dr. Cranium</title><content type='html'>&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;Hello, again.

For example, it's not nice to call someone who has less money than you &lt;b&gt;poor&lt;/b&gt;.  It is also unacceptable to make fun of a person who has no legs by calling them &lt;b&gt;cripple&lt;/b&gt;.  The same applies to our brothers and sisters who experience developmental challenges early in life.  It is NO LONGER OKAY to call someone &lt;b&gt;retarded&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;Before they became accepted as insults, the words &lt;b&gt;retard&lt;/b&gt;, &lt;b&gt;retarded&lt;/b&gt; and &lt;b&gt;mental retardation&lt;/b&gt; were used as technical terms to categorize other I.Q. related jargon like &lt;b&gt;idiot&lt;/b&gt;, &lt;b&gt;imbecile&lt;/b&gt; and &lt;b&gt;moron&lt;/b&gt;.  Over time, it became clear that I.Q. wasn't the only factor in a person's development, so the word &lt;b&gt;retard&lt;/b&gt; and its derivatives were absorbed into broad-spectrum terms like &lt;b&gt;developmental disabilit&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;y&lt;/b&gt; and &lt;b&gt;cognitively challenged&lt;/b&gt;.  These new, cooler-sounding terms not only make you sound really smart when you say them, they also make you appear to be compassionate and considerate of your fellow human beings and their challenges.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;Going forward, let's all put forth the extra effort to build a warm and caring environment for all mankind.  Let's face it, we're all in this together, so we've got to watch each other's backs.  Don't call people &lt;b&gt;retard&lt;/b&gt;. Don't break into people's houses.  Don't steal from your job.

We are all susceptible to this phenomenon.  &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ignorance"&gt;Ignorance&lt;/a&gt; is the primary cause, defined as a "lack of knowledge or information." &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stupidity"&gt;Stupidity&lt;/a&gt; comes in a close second, and is characterized by the lack of "intelligence or common sense."  I have drawn two comics to clarify my interpretation of both conditions:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms', serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: center;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms', serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   style="  ;font-family:Georgia, serif;font-size:16px;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.astoundingpictures.com/blog/ignorance.jpg"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.astoundingpictures.com/blog/ignorance.jpg" border="0" alt="" style="cursor: pointer; width: 295px; height: 360px; " /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: center;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; "&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.cafepress.com/herbington/6916245"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:x-small;"&gt;Buy this comic on cool gear at CafePress.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: center;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms', serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: center;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms', serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   style="  ;font-family:Georgia, serif;font-size:16px;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.astoundingpictures.com/blog/stupidity.jpg"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.astoundingpictures.com/blog/stupidity.jpg" border="0" alt="" style="cursor: pointer; width: 360px; height: 315px; " /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: center;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Georgia, serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Helvetica, serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.cafepress.com/herbington/6916247"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:x-small;"&gt;Buy this comic on cool gear at &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.cafepress.com/herbington/6916247"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:x-small;"&gt;CafePress&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.cafepress.com/herbington/6916247"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:x-small;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: center;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms', serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: left;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms', serif;"&gt;That's all for me, today.

This is my blog.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;By day, I'm a retail manager.  By night, I'm a so-called independent filmmaker. This isn't because I'm some sort of trendy, guerilla expressionist, bucking the system by telling the stories I want to tell on MY TERMS... I just haven't been able to con anybody into paying me to do it, yet.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica; min-height: 14.0px"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;I manage a web site, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.astoundingpictures.com/"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;astoundingpictures.com&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;, and also have a &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/Herbington6000000"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;YouTube channel&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt; where you can watch my latest stuff. I encourage you to subscribe to this blog, as well as my YouTube channel. That way I may have a sense of accomplishment.  Perhaps you will be entertained, too.
