Open Letter To The Airlines

My sister sent me this one:

Dear Continental, American Airlines, Southwest, Delta, United, et. all:

I have the solution to prevent hijackings and get our airline industry back
on its feet at the same time.

Replace all female flight attendants with good lookin' strippers. What the
hell? The attendants have gotten old and haggard looking. They don't even
serve food anymore, so what's the loss?

The strippers would double, triple, perhaps quadruple the alcohol
consumption and get a "party atmosphere" going in the cabin.

Muslims would be afraid to get on the planes for fear of seeing naked women.
And, of course, every heterosexual businessman in this country would start
flying again hoping to see naked women. Hijackings would come to a
screeching halt and the airline industry would see record revenue.

Why the hell didn't Bush think of this?

Why do I still have to do everything myself?

Sincerely,

Bill Clinton

Halloween Is Almost Here



"The Wife" has filled the Frick's World candy jar with my favorite Halloween treat. Peanuts & CandyCorn, take one Peanut & one CandyCorn and pop it in your mouth and guess what it tastes like a Payday candy bar, delicious. Thanks to "The Sister-in-Law" for the tasty treat sensation.

Say One For Us


"Goose" goes for her learner's permit in the morning.

If I Said You Had A Beautiful Body, Would You Hold It Against Me?


Well if you asked that of country singer Chris Cagle's girlfriend that answer just might be yes.
It seems that Chris has recently become a first time Dad only to find out that he's not the father. I guess his girlfriend can now run around saying "That's not my babies Daddy"
"LINK"
If nothing else this should give him enough material for his next album.

Just The Type Of Traffic I'm After


"Click Image For Biggie Size"
I just love comment spam, all of them usually start out along the same lines
"Interesting blog you have here" or "This is a excellent blog. Keep it going". With such great words of encouragement I just quit my job stop taking showers and just blog full time.
The comment spam above is from this morning and it's my favorite to date.
I just love the following line:

My site is a bit different than yours, but just as entertaining and educational, I run a mens male enhancement reviews related site pertaining to mens male enhancement reviews related articles.

Yeah, buddy your site would be a bit different than mine, probably not as entertaining and defiantly more educational when it comes to mens male enhancement reviews.
And by the way what's up with "mens male" aren't they the same?

Frickmas Is Finally Here


This afternoon we all got together to celebrate "Frickmas" or as common folk would call it my birthday. We had Parents/Grandparents, Aunts & Sisters/Aunts and 10lbs of "Sweet and Spicy" wings which was quickly followed with a desert of "Peanut & Pecan Torte".


It was a gift extravaganza with me being the recipient.

My parents have finally managed to come off of their wallet and give me my inheritance. I guess they wanted to be around and first hand witness the joy that their hard work and toil would bring to me and my family. This little piggy bank is just crammed full of coins. My best guess says that there is at least $1.13 inside.

I made out in the clothes arena. A new snazzy set of IZOD sleeping togs and a "Frick Winery" (we're diversified) t-shirt.

Snagged the new Coldplay disc X&Y as well as a soon to be classic by Evanescense, Fallen. Man I just love those goth chicks. Nothing quite like jet black hair and a milky white complexion to get me going.
After just a quick 10 years I've got a replacement for my Sony Walkman. This one has TV and weather as well.

A little reading for when I'm on the plane.

And a dollar for every year that I've been around, can't wait till I'm 100.......

We had a great afternoon right up to the man-boob sandwhich maker incident which we will not explore at this time. My "Amazon List" took a pretty big hit so it's time to update it.
Sunday it's off to Fry's to spend some birthday mad cash.

G-Mail


I am really enjoying G-Mail. From my Firefox G-Mail Notifier extension (see graphic) to the nearly 2 Gigs worth of storage space. Now it will probably take me forever to accumulate 2 Gigs worth of text based e-mail, but what if I could utilize that space for file storage? Here's a program that will let you do just that "LINK".

You Gotta Read This


After forcing the vehicle to the side of the road, deputies pulled Hollimon out of the cab when he refused to come out voluntarily.

"He told us he was trying to get out of the state because the judge told him to," Venable said, though he was unable to comment on the significance of this statement. Officers noticed that Hollimon had made an attempt to disguise himself, wearing a stethoscope around his neck, a pager on his waist, and carrying two latex gloves in his back pocket. According to Venable, the disguise was less than convincing.

"I don't think anyone would have mistaken him for a doctor," Venable said.

Hollimon's appearance, however, was less strange than the presence of another passenger in rear of the ambulance: a dead deer, fully stretched out, strapped to a gurney inside.

"Read More"
"And More"

I'm just betting that the judge told him "Now on your way out of town boy, I want you to steal an ambulance and pick up a deer. Make it a dead deer boy, cuz' that way you can make jerky. You never know when your gonna want jerky boy."

No Paint By Numbers For Me


Never to be one who isn't open to culture, I took a shot at "SurrealPainter" and created a, I don't know what.

Unlikely What?


After hearing what's revealed in this book maybe they should have titled it "Ice Angel". It seems as if my friends, family and I are the only ones not getting jacked up on some kind of drug these days. Now granted I have not read this book yet, and I'm sure there is a whole lot more to it than the fact that Ashley managed to keep a little "ice" around for any alleged kidnappers that may drop by. I guess that I am just jaded, yeah, that's what I am jaded.
Hats off to Ashley if she's turning here life around, but like "The Wife" always says "bad company corrupts good character".

The local news station apparently didn't harness enough media horsepower to land an interview with Miss Ashley but they were granted an interview with her boyfriend/ex-boyfriend/whatever. This cat was full of all kind of useful information. After watching this interview and hearing of Ashley's plight "H" looked perplexed. "Hey bud what's wrong?" I asked. "Nothing really it's just that girl makes me want to say the "E" word" he replied. I quickly ran down all the "bad" words that I knew which begin with an E, nothing there, then I ran down all the bad words that I may have spoke that begin with an E, nothing there either. OK, little man fire away, what's the "E" word?
IDIOT!
That's my boy a combination of street smarts and a public school education.

A Goose Trading Card

One Of These Things Is Not Like The Other


The fall soccer league is back up and rolling. "H" and his team have won all four games this season. "Goose" managed to bring the only umbrella that didn't match.
In case you were wondering the "G.S.M.A" is back in full swing as well.

OPD, Yeah You Know Me


"Goose" has confided in myself and "The Wife" that she has a problem.
It's OPD - obsessive Purse Disorder. This girl buys more purses than anyone I have ever known. Here is the kicker, she's always broke and has nothing to put in the purses.

Make it idiot-proof, and someone will make a better idiot


Apparently the Japanese love vending machines "LINK"
My favorite is the catch your own lobster game. Next time you visit "Red Lobster" bring a roll of quarters so you can catch your own meal. This will be a huge hit right up to the point of "PETA" (sorry wrong link) finding out about it.

I don't know what your problem is, but I'll bet its hard to pronounce


The kids are getting a 4 day weekend. Our governor Sonny Perdue (Not the chicken dude) has asked the Georgia schools to shut down this coming Monday & Tuesday. This action will help save close to 500,000 gallons of diesel fuel "LINK". Gov. Perdue has suggested taking these(2) days from our "Snow Days" funds, not a bad suggestion since we really don't get a lot of snow here.
The governor's rash request has caused a two fold problem.
The first fold was felt immediately as folks lined up at the gas pumps fearing a gas shortage.
The second fold will kick into gear next February, this fold is much more tragic, more detrimental than running out of fuel. Next February this state will be filled with whining 11 & 12 year olds that will be forced to drag themselves to school on what was to have been the first of their non-used "Snow Days".
These little midgets will forget that they had September 26 & 27 off and resort to fit throwing and tantrums.
Why did the chicken cross the road?
To kick Governor Perdue in the shin.
Thanks for the lov Gov....

Frick's World Travel Tip #15


Don't bother searching for the first 14 tips there aren't any, this is the first official tip, but #15 gives a better appearance than #1.
We have had a few un-official tips in the "past" but again this one is official.

TIP #15
When returning your rental if you plan to leave the keys in the ignition while waiting for rental lot lizard to tally up your bill ROLL DOWN THE CARS WINDOW!
The poor guy behind me at Hertz this evening did not follow this advice, too bad. He hops out of the car, the Hertz guy hops in writes down the odometer, hits the door lock button, forgets to remove the keys and slams the car door. Forgets to remove the keys, "Son-Of-A-Nutcracker, my luggage is still in the trunk and scattered across the back seat" is all I could hear this poor chap scream.
As I hopped the bus to the terminal I thought "Man, this guy sure could have used Travel Tip #15"

Any Landing You Can Walk Away From Is A Good One


"Amazing landing" but what's more amazing is that we now have the technology to watch the whole thing unfold in real time on the internet.
It's all about content and how fast and how many different ways can you serve it up to me.

JetBlue has TV's mounted in the head rests of the seats and I believe they feed FOX, CNN or MSNBC to these TV's. I wonder if the passengers were watching themselves on these sets, listening to the news anchors talking about how flammable jet fuel is and how the runway is lined with 110 firefighters?

You Just Don't Fit In


Could this be Martha's answer to "The Donald's" "Your Fired" catch phrase?
I admit it, I watched. I had too, I love this kind of crap TV.
It's one thing to watch "The Donald's" version where we see the battle of the sexes, but it's another to watch "Martha's" version where half of the guys are acting like girls and then some of the girls are acting like hardened executives from the "Gold ole' Boys Club".
My favorite bit was when "Jim" who may be all of 21 uttered this great bit of wisdom right off of page 15 of any entry level business book, "It's eat or be eaten, it's kill or be killed". Hey Jim, I've got ties older than you, they may be out of style, but they do have more business experience than you do.
Martha gathered the final 3 in the board room with her version of a George and a Carolyn. It was 1 girl, 2 guys and ended up in a verbal cat fight. They were so busy throwing each other under the bus that all I could hear was peoples skulls bouncing off of the transmission.
While I am sharing with everyone tonight here is another little bit that really pisses me off. People that have been out of the industry for a year or so doing something completely different, that insist on telling me what my industry is like, how things need to be marketed designed etc..... No, you don't know how things are, your not doing this any more and you haven't for the last year, you left, this is not your ball field any more. If you want to play put on the cleats and come back onto the field we'll let you. A year or two in the business world is a long time, you've been gone things change, trends change not saying that your dumb, just removed.
Apologize for the rough tone it's just been a long week and it's only Wednesday.

How Is Your Wife Dealing With Pain


Was the subject line of an e-mail awaiting me this morning. I didn't know if my corporate coach was trying to tell me something or not, so I opened the e-mail. What do I get but a link to my own on-line pharmacy, cool.
Now what I can't tell is if these pills are going to cure my wife's pain or cause my wife pain.
As I always say better living through chemistry.......

Homecoming Has Begun


The smell of hair spray and fried follicles filled the air this afternoon as we prepared for the evening
