SPCA seizes 1,045 animals from a home in Northwest Houston. WTF!

Crusty keeps reading about various animal rescues and shelters that have animals living in deplorable conditions, but this takes the cake!  One Thousand Forty Five animals on a residential property! What the hell were these people thinking?  According to the video and a few news stories I’ve read about this, the couple sells these malnourished animals at area flea markets. Now honestly, how many animals can you take to a flea market. You would need AT LEAST one tractor trailer to  transport all the animals. How did they expect to feed and water the animals each day?  How did they expect to clean up the feces, attend to any medical needs, or even socialize with these animals to get them used to the public?  The answer is simple, they didn’t plan to.  Just another case of someone trying to make a quick buck at the expense of the animals.


Is it just me or does it seem that there is MORE animal cruelty and animal neglect going on in the world today than ever before.  Ever since the Michal Vick dogfighting incident, there seems to be more reports about these sorts of things. Maybe it just took the Michael Vick incident to bring it to light. Who knows. I read an article a few weeks ago that the dog fighting rings actually hold dog fights in tractor trailers going down the road to prevent being caught. The dog fighters have also embraced the internet and hold fights where NOBODY is present except for the dog owners. The entire fight is evidently broadcast on the internet and people place their bids electronically.


There’s a lot of sick people in the world.

Play World of Warcraft while taking a dump!!

Ole Crusty must be in a video game mood today, but I need to blog about this. How many of you out there play World Of Warcraft? I am guessing there are tons out there. I am a big a fan of video games as anybody, but I have yet to find a game that I must keep playing EVEN WHILE I TAKE A DUMP!  Evidently, some folks at MIT think differently and developed a World of Warcraft Pod that allows you to keep playing even while sitting on the built in toilet. Not only will you have a custom environment to play warcraft in, you can even experience the smell of kicking the shit out of someone (yeah, it had to be said).

You can read all about it here: Wow Pod at MIT

Yesterday’s Dilbert strip summed up the interviewing process pretty well (at least how it is in the current job market)!

Sorry for the downtime, switched servers etc.

Sorry for the downtime, Crusty Orange changed ownership the past few days, as well as switching servers. I should post a rant about Yahoo Domains, and how fricken useless they are as a domain registrar, but I have other things to rant about first!

Monogamy and a Walmart Wedding

According to The New York Times, marriage rates in the United States are at their lowest point ever, with less than 50 percent of American adults choosing to tie the knot. While Bible-thumping Wonder Bread fans across the Midwest pray to Jesus for an end to this alarming trend, I personally applaud it. Marriage is an archaic, outdated institution designed to torture the spirits of men everywhere. A lifelong, committed marriage is like Robin Williams’ career. Sure, it was kind of fun in the beginning, but after thirty years of the same old shtick you just want to lie down in a ditch and die.

Every day at work, I see the same married couples dining in awkward silence, looking about as lively and enthusiastic as Terry Schiavo in her final week. They’re like the zombies in a George Romero movie; sluggish, vapid and slowly rotting from the inside out. If I ever wake up naked next to a seventy-five year old woman (again), I’ll hit the liquor cabinet so hard they’ll have to wring my liver out like a sponge. After all, everyone already has a lifelong sexual partner…its got five fingers and doesn’t guilt-trip you if you go a little early.

Since I first learned about sex ten years ago in that Kids R’ Us dressing room (I was seven years old, you bastard!) I’ve come to appreciate what a spontaneous, liberating rush it can be. The constant search for new and interesting sexual partners is one of the most natural human activities. After all, we’re only a few generations removed from the apes. Monogamy is an unrealistic expectation for a species descended from furry shit-throwers (no offense to Robin Williams.)

Why shopping has become too much effort.

In today’s world, when you want to shop, you better have more then your car key’s and wallet or purse. Big corporate chains now want you to make sure you are carrying their “cards” when you walk out the door to your local supermarket or department store.

I am officially convinced it is impossible to buy anything without being asked “do you have your “so-and-so” rewards card today? What is this garbage? First, I have to give them another card that does absolutely nothing, except mark down prices that should already be marked down, and then take out another card to actually pay for it? Is it just me, or does this sounding a little silly yet?

Today, Sunday, I went to go run some errands and pick up some common food items for the game as well as a new razor blade (not for the game). I thought to myself, two quick stops and I should be home before kickoff (which was in 30 minutes) and the stores were no more then a mile away from my house. Apparently, I had absolutely no idea how incredibly wrong I would be.
