Corrupt Sumter County, Florida

TacoTruck-KrispyKreme-Phinee(8-17-10)My wife got a speeding ticket and said, I’m going to court and get this thrown out. Now she was on HWY 50 coming from Orlando (heading west) and she was in Sumter County, Florida.

I told her…listen Sumter County is a small poor Florida County. They need revenue so how do you suppose they get that? Going into Sumter the speed is 65 miles per hour, and on the other side it’s 65 miles per hour. But the small stretch of Sumter County is 55! That screams “SPEED TRAP”!  Of course she didn’t really think so until she got to court. She said it was Enis and Boss Hog, smiling at each other and giggling.  She said before they started Boss Hog made a speech and said how they made him work that day and that everyone in the court room would be taking an advanced driving course.  At that point she knew I was right… corrupt to the gills!

I told her that is why all the assholes are getting in trouble now days! We have recorders, cameras, and the internet. We are holding them responsible for any corruption we can catch them in. I’ve had them tell me that as long as we know them we ignore the DUI’s. In small communities that all get drunk together and joke about driving drunk. Oh but it’s OK they’re a cop. – I’m so happy every time I hear another corrupt prick getting fired … even better when I hear them being sent to prison.

You know the poor bastard who drives this truck gets pulled over dozens of times per day!

How NOT to get a date…

imageI’m no expert and don’t claim to be. But I’ve worked hard in getting dates with certain girls and do know what I MUST NOT do.

This guy is an employee at “Five Guy Burgers” in Brooksville, Florida. This cute little girl with a nice little body was setting there with him eating. He never looked up, even when he spoke to her. Now alot has changed in 30 years since I was chasing girls but I just can’t believe they enjoy being ignored. Dude it’s a rule somewhere that when you have a little hottie at your table you turn all electronics OFF. You pay attention to her and her only! You talk about her, you listen to her, you smile and look at HER! NOT YOUR FREAKIN’ PHONE!

Hey go ahead and not listen… there are probably going to be a lot of 40 year old virgins in 20 years or so! If I was 30 years younger I’d be all over these cute girls that are getting ignored. LOL

Hey maybe that is what they like… let me know if I’m wrong.

No Country for Old Men – review

Josh-BrolinFor What It’s Worth ~

wow…one of the strangest movies ever made. Now don’t think that is a bad thing because it’s not. I stayed on the edge of my seat during most of the movie. It took turns in directions I never expected. I think all the actors did an excellent job with their parts. All of them were a little bizarre.

Some of the actors were Tommy Lee Jones, Javier Bardem, Josh Brolin, Woody Harrelson, Kelly Macdonald, Barry Corbin, and Stephen Root. All of them did an excellent Job!

Watch this! I put it off for years and after watching it wish I’d watched it years ago. I only took me 6 years to watch it and I’ve have the movie for at least 4 years.

Yankee Doodle Dandy – review

235139c539249ce5b48d08f93f7c5355For What It’s Worth ~

A great old black and white movie. Made in 1942 it stared “James Cagney” and “Joan Leslie”.  The movie was written the  musical composer, playwright, actor, dancer and singer George M. Cohan. Cohan published more than 300 songs during his lifetime, including the standards “Over There”, “Give My Regards to Broadway”, “The Yankee Doodle Boy” and “You’re a Grand Old Flag”

Watch the movie I think you’ll enjoy it and recognize some of the music.

Over there, over there
Send the word, send the word over there
That the Yanks are coming, the Yanks are coming
The drums are rum-tumming everywhere

So prepare, say a prayer
Send the word, send the word to beware
We’ll be over there, we’re coming over
And we won’t come back till it’s over over there.
Over there.

Seeker – review

seekerFor What It’s Worth ~

Well the movie, Seeker, isn’t a box office smash but it’s an OK movie. It took me till 1/3 of the way through the movie to realize I had seen it before, years ago. As I watch this I realized that “The Rider” was Christopher Eccleston, who was one of the Dr. Who’s.

Even thought I had seen the movie before I watched the entire thing again. Not that it was a great movie but it’s an enjoyable movie. I’m sure the entire family would have enjoyed it.

The Magic of Belle Isle – review

11611565-largeFor What It’s Worth ~

This was a very cute movie. I’m surprised I liked it actually… no action, no nudity, and no violence. This was just a nice movie about an old man whose broke and house sitting someones house for the summer. He befriends this lady and her 3 daughters, who are going through a divorce. A friendship kindles for all of them in the small community.

I wouldn’t rush out to rent this but it you see it around take the time and enjoy the movie.

Oct. 1, NEW LAW – Texting While Driving

Gov. Rick Scott today signed SB 52, the “Florida Ban on Texting While Driving Law.” But while the law officially prohibits texting or emailing while operating a motor vehicle, it may be difficult to enforce.

The ban does NOT apply to motorists:

• In cars that are considered stationary (at a red light, or stuck in traffic);
• Texting or emailing to report criminal activity;
• Receiving directions or weather alerts;
• Listening to a radio service or music;
• Using talk-to-text systems such as Siri;

The ban also does not allow authorities to use phone records to prove someone was texting while driving unless there is a crash resulting in “death or personal injury.”

Understanding “secondary offense”

Florida’s texting-while-driving ban, which goes into effect Oct. 1, is considered a “secondary” violation. That means a driver can only be punished for texting if they are pulled over for another offense. Texting while driving is classified as a nonmoving violation — the same as having a taillight out. A first offense carries a $30 fine.

Smokers ARE next!

Snakes on a Plane – review

samFor What It’s Worth ~

I managed to not watch this for 7 years and then gambled and picked a movie out of a stack. It was “Snakes on a Plane”. Now, after watching the movie, I can’t say I’m disappointed. It was a good movie even though I’m terrified of snakes and will probably have nightmares about them now. I now understand, ” Enough is enough! I have had it with these motherfucking snakes on this motherfucking plane!”

If you get a chance watch this movie. It isn’t one that I’d run out and get but if it comes along I think most people would enjoy it. Well and enjoy the nightmares. LOL

Iron Man 3 – review

iron-man-3-movieFor What It’s Worth ~

I realize this review is almost pointless… it’s Iron Man 3.

It was a great movie. It had great effects and Robert Downey did a great job in the role Tony Stark. I’m sure there will be a forth in the series of Iron Man and they still have the Avengers 2 Movie!

Of course this is one of those must see movies!

from Dusk to Dawn

lg_fromdusktilldawn_duoFor What It’s Worth ~

My nephew Andy gave this to me 6 years ago and told me to watch it. We’ll he died about 5 years ago and I was going through my movies and saw, “From Dusk to Dawn”. I reluctantly put it in the DVD playing expecting to fast forward through most of it. OMG… what a bizarre movie. It takes you on a ride to places you really don’t expect! To say I watch it would be an understatement!

I really loved this whacked out movie! Quentin Tarantino and George Clooney did an excellent job acting! If you’re looking for a wild ass movie, what “from Dusk to Dawn”. This movie jumped up into my top 10 favorite movies of all time! LOL Don’t watch it with any kids though!
