department of homeland fearmongering

[rone]

Yesterday, while Kim and i were enjoying delicious Mexican food after a vigorous couple of hours in the garden, i heard the most abhorrent commercial on the Mexican radio.

So, Mommy's putting her kid to bed, and the kid says, "Mommy, leave the light on, i'm scared," and she says, "It's OK, you're safe here."
"What about the monster under my bed?"
"Your teddy bears will keep him away."
"What about the boogeyman?"
"Your guardian angel will take care of him."
"What about if a terrorrist shows up, like i saw on TV?"
"Ummm..."
Then a soothing voice comes on talking about how DHS is on the case and how we have to help in any way we can.

Good thing i was done eating, or i might have lost my appetite.

While sorting faxes at work, I saw one from the DHS. Scared the hell out of me. I have no idea who took the fax, nor do I want to know.

That's a great icon, man. You should be good-looking more often.

That's my clean-shaven, 20lbs lighter, seven years younger me. Now there's more of me to love, flab and hair and creaking bones.
