Dancing Puppets

The purpose of this blog is to create a forum of meaningless and irrelevant rants for people with nothing better to do at that moment other than provide entertainment to others...

Why Dancing Puppets? It seems customary to begin your blog with an explanation as to why you chose the name you did. In this case - "Dancing Puppets" - there is a simple reason. As mentioned above in the description of this blog, the purpose is to provide a forum for nonsensical and senseless rantings or perhaps the occassional profound and logical argument. However, this is not to promote the marketplace of ideas, or the exercise of free speech. No, no, no... Rather this blog exists simply to provide a continuing source of entertainment to its readers, and more importantly, to me. As the great Stewie likes to say... "Dance Puppets, Dance!"

The Tax on Females...

I recently was looking for the sports section in a Saturday edition newspaper and briefly caught a glimpse of the following headline - "Feminism's New Look." This immediately pissed me off because the word "feminism" usually does. I took a quick look at the group photo of all the "new look" feminists on the cover of the section to see if any were hot and when I realized they were all ugly, I moved on. But then I realized something and went right back to the cover picture. They all had long hair. Now, this really irked me for one reason.

It used to be that I could walk into a room and pick out any lesb---, I mean, any feminist in the room just by the look. The short hair, or men's clothes or whatever. But now they actually look like women. This is scary. It's like they've gone undercover so that you don't even know when it's safe to talk at work anymore. This is a bad situation. Something has to be done about it. I don't have any ideas right now, but I'm sure something will come to me.

Anyway, so obviously I didn't read the article (though I am now considering it in order to start training myself to be able to pick these people out in a group setting), but it got me thinking about feminist issues. I recently heard on TV some broads yapping about not getting paid as much at work as their equal male co-worker. In other words - 2 people same exact employment position, same education, same years experience - different salaries. Why? Different reproductive system. Makes perfect sense to me, but for some irrational reason (shocker) women don't seem to get it, so I will therefore explain.

Here is how it works. It's a very simple system.

It is actually a tax system. Woman are taxed for certain services and certain duties that they do not perform that men do perform. The form of tax is a lower salary and lower economic value to the business world. Here is what I mean:

Let's say I'm at work and a recently terminated disgruntled employee with an extra 'Y' chromosome (or whichever extra chromosome turns people into violent, half-retard rapists) comes into work with a semi-automatic and a list of demands and takes the whole place hostage. All of a sudden it somehow becomes the male's job to deal with the psycho while the women get to hide under the desks. In fact, when the professional FBI negotiator arrives on the scene, the first thing he will say to the unstable individual is, "well show us some good faith and let the women go."

Come on!!! I'm as scared as they are and my life is just as valuable, but somehow, I gotta stay behind and see this thing through to the end while the women get to waltz outside get hot soup and free therapy sessions.

Next scenario. I'm at a party or a social gathering of some kind. The white-trash degenerate 80's band that is performing on-stage uses fireworks indoors in a highly flammable environment and the whole place goes up like the Bagdhad skyline during 'shock and awe'. The men suddenly become ushers while the women and children get 'ushered' out to safety. Many, many more men will be maimed and killed than women and children. The women get grouped with the children all of a sudden in this catastrophic event scenario! Unreal!

Next situation. I'm on a cruise with my family and Hurricane Katrina's bad-ass sister in law with a deformed face starts to get pissed off in a close proximity to where the cruise ship I am contracting skin-cancer upon is currently situated. We are forced to evacuate the ship due to high waves, strong rain and the fact that the ship is suddenly going backside first into the water like in 'Titanic'. That's right.... you guessed it.... "Women and children to the rescue boats!!!" Poor me and the rest of the penis-possessing beings on board get to stand next to the captain and chef and toast to the future of our children and families. They will tell tales of our giant coconuts and bravery in this time of distress and how we saved the women and children. We will hear none of it, because our last words will be similar to those of a black guy in New Orleans, "glub, glub glub glub..."

I think you get the point. I can bring up many more scenarios, such as holding the door for someone or being the last one into a packed elevator. (Why is it that whenever I get to an entrance door - especially the really heavy ones in an office building or apartment complex - at the same time as a female, that she feels it is ok to step aside while I reach past her, open the door and hold it for her to walk through. Similarly, I could be waiting 10 minutes for the elevator in my apartment building, while holding 14 bags of groceries, yet some women will walk in 5 seconds before the elevator comes and feel as if she can just walk in before me. I'll tell you why it's ok. It's ok because they pay the tax!)

These are some of the reasons men make more and should make more than women in the same exact position. Because magically when catastrophe or emergency strikes, the very same strong-valued, hardcore femme-nazi with the short-length hair cut and the man-hating, independant, constantly pissed off attitude, becomes an innocent-looking, sweet-faced girl with pigtails and a need for protection! All of a sudden she needs a man's help. Well guess what honey, until you are willing to stand next to me in the fire and usher people out, until you begin negotiating with the hostage-taker, and until you help me put the children in the rescue boat and toast goodbye to the world as we sink together on a cruise ship, you will not make as much as I do. You will pay the "all of a sudden I need protection" tax.

This seems completely fair to me.

No Yankee Magic This Year...Let's Go Big Blue!

OK, THAT was frustrating. Not like 2002 where the Angels were really good and were on fire. This Angels team, I gotta say it - they are not that good... Yanks lost this one themselves. Pathetic. The Mariano tibute has to wait now because I'm still depressed. Usually this stuff bothers me that night and not longer, but this was really frustrating.

OK a few points:

1. Jeter, as always, did his job. Came through where it mattered. Too bad he had no help. Hits the homer to make it close, and singles to lead off the ninth down a run with power coming up. Mariano - nothing to say - if he gets the ball - Yankees win. These two guys are first-ballot Hall of Famers without question. I don't want to hear the "Jeter is overrated, he's the 3rd best shortstop, yada yada yada" crap any more. Watch the guy play, watch the tapes. He is a baseball god. He gets it done. End of story. There is no arguing this one.

2. Cano - this kid is going to be a star. Next year he should be batting third, and A-Rod 6th or 7th. Kid has balls and talent - he's dangerous. If they trade this kid - I am changing teams with him.

3. On that note, if Chacon and Wang are not in the rotation to start next year (and hell, throw Small in there too, he deserves a chance a lot more than Pavano or Wright), then someone needs to be fired and sent to an institution.

4. Another Yankee who earned his paycheck - Posada... Remember the key to the series? Keep the Angel baserunners from taking extra bases on steals - Posada was ridiculous erasing, I think, 6 out 7 or something crazy like that.

5. Randy freakin Johnson - remind me next year to beat the crap out of his wife before the first game he pitches...because apparently he is amazing when he is pissed off. Why was he not pissed off in Game 3? Inexcusable... he should be pitching every game with major attitude. He gets upset at reporters for holding a camera, but not to pitch a playoff game...?

6. Moose - I can't jump on this guy. If Bubba and/or Sheff make that play,=, it's a different game. Plus he gave us a lights-out game 1, which means he was due to get killed in this game - but he didn't. The homer to Garrett - inexcusable. But that was a catchable ball out in right-center by Kennedy. The rest of the runs were all flares and weak grounders. Yeah, he should have been lights-out in a game 5, but that's Moose, he's not consistent. That said, he wasn't awful and certainly did not cost them the game.

7. Matsui - I'm just shocked, because when has that guy NOT come through. Can't kill him because he's been so clutch so often. Still was pretty sure he was going to hit one out to take the lead last night, but whatever.

8. A decision has been made by a group of friends of mine - There is no longer such a thing as an "A-Rod" - he is Alex Rodriguez. He is just one of the thousands upon thousands of people with the surname Rodriguez. He is not special.

Boone, Crosby, Brosius, Tino, Leyritz, Sierra, and many more non-hall of famers got big postseason hits. A-Rod? not so much.

A-Rod is better at playing baseball than Derek Jeter, but he proved this week that he will never ever be close to the baseball player that Jeter is. Jeter came up in the 9th and you KNEW...you could bet your life on it... that he was getting on. F*#ckin A-Rod.

I'm not finished with him yet - he should and probably will win the AL MVP because it doesn't take into account the postseason. He will very likely hit 50 homers next year, hit .325 and knock in 140 RBIs, and perhaps win the MVP again next year. That said, I will lead a coalition of the willing to campaign to have him left off the postseason roster next year.

You hear Torre talking about A-Rod's problem this series? He was "anxious". ANXIOUS ? WTF! are you serious? Are you out of your frikkin mind? He wasn't anxious ......... he's a p*ssy! There's a difference. Brosius and Tino were probably anxious with 2 outs down 2 and a man on in the 9th...but they had coconuts.

Anyway, it's Alex Rodriguez, not A-Rod. You have to earn the 'A-Rod'. And by the way, Alex owes us 25 million dollars for this year. That assklown.
