As you can tell from the title of today's garbage I am not a fan of Twitter. I really do not care what people say from moment to moment in their silly little lives. Blogs are a bit different because it is usually a bit more of an article, not someone tweeting that they just took a dump and it felt great. A blog requires a bit of thought, a very small bit if you ask people about my blogging, but still a bit of thought. Twitter is for people who think that their every moment through life should be recorded for all to read about. Frankly. I could care less.
Let us look at the Weather Channel for instance. They now have something called Weather Channel Social on their website where people can tweet about the weather. Here are a couple of samples from that site:
From Abdul in Phoenix, AZ: "It is hot again outside".
From Nanook in Barrow, AK: "It is cold again outside".
Boy, I cannot live without information like that, can you? I turn the channel whenever that segment comes on. They can keep it.
Can you imagine if they had Twitter during the time of the Titanic? I can just see the tweets, in English and not Twitterese, now:
10:00 p.m. - Captain Harris, Titanic: "Really a clear, dark night tonight, still going full speed. Looking to set record for crossing. Leaving Lightholler in charge and going off duty".
1:00 a.m. - Captain Harris: "Struck something large and white. No problem as this boat cannot be sunk. Quick check and we will be cruising again".
2:45 a.m. - Captain Harris: " Umm, I think I was wrong. Looks like we will be having sand for breakfast. Very cold water now up to my knees and climbing fast. I do not think we will not be setting a record this trip".
3:00 a.m. - Captain Harris: "glub, glub, glub........"
Now, I admit, the stuff I wrote above is sheer nonsense but that is what you get with Twitter, other people's droppings that they want to spread around the world. Athlete's tweets are the most annoying. I could care less about what someone, who is paid a bazillion dollars a year to play a stupid game, says. Most tweets from athletes are just random nonsense and others are just plain stupid. Maybe their tweets are a reflection of all of the head trauma that they have received over the years from the playing of their sport. But then how do explain the tweets from the weather twits? More head trauma?? Must be.
Well the Sabres are about to face off and I have spoken my piece about the silliness of Twitter. This is your King wishing you a pleasant evening. Jeez, the Sabres scored two quick goals while I was reviewing this stupid blog. Now I will go and watch and they won't score again, just you see!!!

More Garbage from the Fingers of Your King
1) Walter Casper is back in prison where he belongs but for how long? He had his long sentence reduced on a stupid technicality and was released way too soon in 2009. All this did was create more grief for the family of his murdered wife. He was recently arrested for a parole violation. I hope this sticks as it will send him back to the hoosegow for another four years. Still far too short for the murder of his wife. Sometimes the Justice System baffles me.
2) The Bills are 4-2 heading into their bye week. I was originally hoping for 2-4 or even 1-5 at the start of the year. Their defense still sucks but they have a decent offense. They are so much more fun to watch than at any time during Mr. Mind's reign of error to which we have them to thank for the likes of ex-bill Aaron Maybin. He was probably THE worst pick ever by the Bills.
3) Has my blog partner Repoman died or what??? He has not posted anything for months. My life is dull without having the opportunity to comment on his conservative muses. Some of which I agree with, some of which I am ambivalent on and some I find just plain, well, crazy. It is just no fun without him.
4) Why does God's gift to radio, Rush Limbaugh blame everything on Barack Obama?? Yes, the country is in a mess but eight years of George Bush helped get us there. The biggest mistake ever made was George's tax cuts. While his heart was in the right place he must have lost his economic mind when he signed these into law. It is nice to have a little extra cash to spend but you just do NOT cut taxes when you are fighting a war, let alone two wars. It just does not make any economic sense to have done this. Now the government runs a huge deficit and unemployment is not going down but it is all Obama's fault according to the Pillar of Conservative Society. While I do agree that the first stimulus package was pretty much a farce and was largely misspent something must be done to jump start the economy correctly. Obama's current jobs package, that he is pushing to get passed, funds teachers and cops for one year but who pays for these new hires after one year? God? Warren Buffet? Warren Buffet's secretary? Who? I think people would like to know and, man I hate saying this but, Rush is right on this package. OUCH!! Do we want to go back to the policies Rush wants or do we stick with what Obama wants?? The answer is somewhere in the middle but neither side seems willing to accept that. The Clods! We need manufacturing jobs, not shovel ready jobs that when completed you have people sitting on their hands again. How many times can they pave Elmgrove Road?? The repaved it two years ago, with first stimulus money, and they just repaved a part of it, that was repaved then, again this year. Money well spent I say!!! Right.
5) The Sabres are off to a decent start this year. They have three wins in four games. Last year they had nine losses to go with their three wins. They are spending money and I hope they have spent it well. They have a few nice new pieces and I am hoping that they help get us that elusive Cup. Man would I go nuts if the Sabres ever get it.
6) Looking into the Royal back yard all I see is a layer of leaves waiting to get raked. Last weekend's windstorm helped knock a bunch down but when that first freeze hits it will be good night nurse. It is dark now and it is the best my back yard has looked, since I can't see it, since last Tuesday when I mowed the pricks into mulch. Can't do it this time. I can feel the pain growing now. UGH!!
Well, I think I have bored you valued readers long enough. And I do value everyone who reads my drivel. I wish you all, whether you agree with your King or not, a pleasant evening.

Scientists Report Discovery of Gay Squid
Yes, In Sunday's Buffalo News Science section it was reported that scientists have found a male squid species that likes to mate with fellow males. The squid in question is called the Octopoteuthis deletron. It is a deep seas species found in the eastern Pacific and they are noted as being difficult to find as they like living in the world of little light, usually withing sea closets. Males of this genus, when exited by a fellow male squid, use their long terminal organ to transfer a complex packet of squid giz onto their fellow male's body with the packets remaining attached, once used, to it's partners body providing evidence of mating. Scientists say that it is obvious that when male squids of this genus play tentacles with each other they start getting hot for each other and cannot help themselves when their terminal organ starts getting excited. The only logical conclusion is that the males of this genus are mainly gay.
Our favorite radio personality, Rush Limbaugh, chimed in with his two cents worth about this earlier. He said, in other words, "I always knew that certain sponges and starfish were probably gay but I never would have suspected squid being gay. I can only blame the Obama regime for ending the 'don't ask, don't squeeze' policy for squid. Now when I go out into the ocean for a swim and I feel a tentacle I just hope that when I get out of the water I do not see a complex packet attached to me." He also later stated "That I, being the Conservative Pillar of Society, can only say that a good Octopoteuthis deletron is calamari."

Your King on Evolution
I read a letter to the editor in Saturday's, 10-1-11, Democrat and Chronicle that I just have to comment on. It is titled "Evolution theory is just a fairy tale". For your edification I will quote it and then comment:
"In the beginning was the "Big Bang". No one knows why it blew up. Life, in all its glory, developed here and no one knows how. Now, these brilliant men of science want me to believe we are nothing more than intelligent animals, and if I don't agree, I'm an idiot! I thumb my nose at those self-appointed keepers of the truth. Due to a lack of transitional fossils, there are quite a few people who think the evolution theory is nothing more than a fairy tale for adults. If you repeat a lie long enough it becomes the truth."
In the first few sentences he is right, no one really knows why the Big Bang occurred. There are plenty of theories but we may never ascertain the answer. In regards to life the scientists pretty much have a handle on how life developed here and have recreated the conditions of the primordial Earth in their labs and have created amino acids, the building blocks of life, from their experiments. The thing is we are animals, intelligent animals, but animals none the less. You cannot change that fact no matter how much you do not want to believe that fact. In that case the writer is not an idiot, just ignorant. Obviously he keeps a blind eye to the news as more transitional fossils have been found very recently in Africa. Now there may be three reasons why we do not have more transitional fossils and they are:
1) The rock layers they are embedded in have not yet been exposed.
2) The rock layers that they were in have been eroded away and destroyed. or
3) The transitional species may have inhabited an area which was not conducive to fossil formation.
Any one of these three reasons are enough to hinder research into the evolution of our species.
Now what fairy tale does the writer believe in?? Does he believe in the "Poof" theory? That chain of thought, as I cannot bring myself to call this a theory, starts with some all powerful being, POOF, creating the Earth in seven days. Then, POOF, the garden of Eden is created. Then, POOF, this all powerful being created man. Then, POOF, this all powerful being took a rib from man and created woman. Then, POOF, there was this talking snake that peddled apples to the them. Then, POOF, they were expelled from this garden of Eden for partaking the apple and the story continues. And yes, your King was taught this 'Poof" chain of thought when he was young so it is not like I do not have a background in this. In fact I believe that this gives me a special expertise to comment on it.
Now which story would you rather believe?? The miracle of the process of evolution, and I do not call it a theory as the facts are in the rocks, or do you wish to believe in the 'Poof' chain of thought? My friends, the choice is yours. The fact that we evolved to where we are today is the real miracle. Evolution is not a fairy tale nor is it a lie, it is science and, as proven by the writer of that letter, some choose to not believe in science. That is their prerogative and right as it is my right to comment on said letter the way I have. As the King of Moronica I found the letter to be moronic and I had to say my piece on what I believe in whether you agree with me or not that is your right.
Well the Bills game is about to kick off so I must end this for today. May you all have a great day, even though the weather outside is a total mess.
