Frêsh Fish - Much magic for a little fish.
Frêsh Fish is a combination of new and spirited with the added bonus being that everyone knows that fish is best fresh. The icing on the cake was that my mother’s mother, Lena, always told her and she me, that fish was brain food. So with Frêsh Fish we have spirited and new food for thought, ideas, that ain’t got no stink. I was suppose to eat fish today and did not. I hope I can be forgiven.

Maybe it was my last post but in a matter of about an hour things are starting to go awry. I went to finally confirm my ticket with Delta. Would not accept information over the internet. Said I had to talk to a ticket agent. Next, I tried to call Delta Customer Service. Do/dew/due to inclemental weather Delta was not accepting calls at this time. We are not having a blizzard here, just some snow. ![]() Then I thought I would Blog this up and when I went to sign in again I got - need to enable Java Scripts and Cookies. I had not changed any settings and had just posted to Blogger about an hour ago. All this and heaven too and I love it. Will I make it to the airport tomorrow? Will I be arrested as a subversive? Will my flight take off on time? Stay tune for the continuing adventure of The Big Dog Does Costa Rica. ![]() © 2010 big box industries Getting ready to do the ATL-SJO thing again. Yeah, I’ll be hanging out at the beach and you won’t. Life is always better for The Big Dogs. I am flying Delta. The ATL-SJO thing is a direct flight. Flight time – 4 hours. Actual travel time is 10 hours thanks to the Agency for Home Land Security. I will be taking off my shoes and letting strangers look at all my stuff for about 6 hours. ![]() Just a few insights on the state of the economy. I got my confirmation number for my flight from Delta. It had a 0 in it instead of an O. Why make confirmation numbers that can cause confusion? I guess stuff like this just makes life more fun. Went to confirm my flight online. The check in box was grayed out. Called Delta’s 800 number. Had to wait. Got someone but when they heard that my problem was computer related they transferred me to another group. Even The Big Dogs have to wait. (Just looked out my window and it is snowing) ![]() Got some Dude in India. Very polite but had trouble pronouncing the word itinerary. Say what? Yes, everyone speaks English but they don’t. Turns out that Delta has a secret that they don’t want anyone to know about. Not on the ticket confirmation or the web site. Must be a Home Land – Will You Take Your Shoes Off Now, Sir – Security Thing. You cannot confirm your flight more than 24 hours in advance. Who gnu? ![]() It all looks good on paper or in a Power Point Presentation, but everything is slowly unraveling as the band plays on.

I discovered a lot of new things today. First off, if you arrange things so there is a place for everything and everything is in its place, if you move anything, everything else gets fucked up. Secondly, to add power steering fluid to a Toyota Camry you do not add power steering fluid. Instead of power steering fluid, Toyotas use transmission fluid. I will repeat this one again. To add power steering fluid to a Toyota Camry, you do not, do not, add power steering fluid. Instead you are suppose to use transmission fluid. Who gnu? Lastly, I just found out that all my troubles will be over in 2012. ![]() I was inspired by this picture of Sarah Palin from the New York Times explaining to an engaged audience exactly what she would like to do with the index finger on her left hand. I was taken back a bit at first , but they really don’t have much to do in Alaska during the winter. © 2010 big box industries Saturday, February 13, 2010
It recently snowed where I live. It was a very polite snow. It started yesterday and by this afternoon it had done a wicked witch. ![]() Where have I seen this scene before? Too Much Blood Gift From Lena Note that in both of these blogs the new bean counters at Google/You Tube have asked the owners to remove content that was once available for your listening pleasure. This started happening in 09/09, after Google acquired an online music business. © 2010 big box industries It’s 6:21 AM. It took me about 15 minutes to get it up but it is hard to keep a good man down. I am a good man. It snowed starting yesterday afternoon – pristine and white with a crystalline delight. There is still a hushed quiet to the morn after an accumulation of about 3 inches. ![]() Hurray, hurray, today is tech update day. Did an experiment comparing internet browsers. Foxfire is much, much, faster at loading pages than the curmudgeon of the internet, Internet Explorer. Apple’s Safari, the OS they use for their Touches and iPhones still fucks Flash. Pages accessed on the internet using Flash will crash Safari. Google has gotten into the music business. The downside is that super cool You Tube videos that used to be out there are coming down because of copyright infringements. Windows 7 is more intrusive than ever before. There is an unheralded feature of Windows 7 that automatically goes in and checks your computer ever month to insure that you are running a genuine (The pronunciation of “genuine” with the last syllable rhyming with “wine” is generally considered less classy than the more common pronunciation in which the last syllable rhymes with “won.” Hicks drink wine from a plastic cup.) version of Windows 7. While Microsoft is anonymously running around inside of your computer it is unsure what else it is snooping on. It does this ever 30 days. Microsoft claims it does this to ensure that users get the genuine Microsoft experience, as if they are really proud of their clunky OS I am opposed to anything that automatically updates stuff on my computer. ![]() DEFCON 1 This refers to maximum readiness. It is not certain whether this has ever been used, but it is reserved for imminent or ongoing attack on US military forces or US territory by a foreign military power. May all your snow days be white. © 2010 big box industries (how big a box are we talking about?) Tuesday, February 09, 2010
Elliot Jones, alais Elliot Smith, had a problem. He had forgotten his shoe size. With socks it didn't matter much but certain proprieties needed to be observed in the selections of shoes. To make matters worse he had bought a rather large pair of brown shoes and he was certain he preferred black. Perhaps if he put his shoes on first and then his socks, it wouldn't matter much. ![]() With "i" before "a" a transformation is induced.

There is no surgical precision to the word cocky. It is a expression that cuts a wide swath. I offer two examples of cocky for the amateur libertine to consider. The first offering is actually a twofer. You get Tom Cruise punking out at his best on the green felt in the Color of Money. The second part of the twofer is the soundtrack in the clip, Werewolves of London – Mr. Z. Werewolves of London is actually best heard a bit louder. You might want to try loading WW of London on any box you are banging, cranking it up, and then watch the strut, as Kings and Queens step aside. The second offering for your appreciation is a snap of the nefarious gonzo digital photographer Robert d Snaps. The word is that Snaps is going to be doing the ATL – SJO gig again. ![]() © 2010 big box industries
