After reading the wild story where a couple, poor as church mice, move into their new apartment and find thousands of dollars in a fridge (long after a thorough police raid), my headline would be: Cops lose nearly $12k in hot cash.

It makes you wonder what quality of police force would raid a drug dealer's home, search the whole apartment, find a few hundred bucks cash on the suspect, arrest them and leave - with nearly $12000 of unmarked bills still stashed in the refrigerator!

It did paint a good picture of honest folks, though. It sounds like the couple who found the money can barely afford the electric to power the fridge, yet they handed it in. Or was it nothing to with honesty, but fear that they would be the next players in a sequel to that uber scary Coen Brothers movie "No Country for old men"! I guess they weighed up the pros and cons and worked out that if the bad guy called by, looking for his money, they couldn't afford to replace the shot out door locks to their front door, let alone the health care to recuperate from that air-powered cattle prod to the forehead.

Back on track, let's hope the police give them their money before the bills literally rot to nothing.

Before you read on, I did ask for this review, and I did read their sanctimonious About Page first, so the gloves are off!

Well, well. I have written 1300 + posts in 15 months and a reviewer from I Talk Too Much makes a big deal about posting frequency! That will teach me for not posting an "On holiday" sticker center front before I went away, just in case a specialist review site called by 5 months after receiving my details!

But the review got worse. I used to think that I had a fairly cool theme, but along comes the smooth-talking I Talk Too Much hit-girl and blows even that idea out the water.

The template looks like the Denver Broncos threw up all over the page.

That is a very original analysis, but who are the Denver Broncos? Is that the last team of football players this reviewer slept with?

They go on to say I

inspired them to go piss all over the neighbors’ Christmas lights.

That should be interesting, to see a girlie squatting at the top of a Christmas tree. Or does she pee like a guy? Probably that, because she doesn't have an ounce of the lady in her.

Comments

If you are curious enough to look at the comments, you will read the words of someone who daren't admit she liked me too much, (in case she upset queen reviewer?) She also tried to over think stuff and make out I am a not very good journalist. Well, er yeah, I am not a journalist. I don't research anything, I just shoot from the hip.

In terms of credentials, the only differences between me and the reviewer is I have not lived my whole life in the basement of a trailer, I don't wake up every morning with the mission to indiscriminately trash everything that moves, and I would tend to write fall off the bed not fall of the bed !

On the positive side, madam reviewer gave me a mild laugh and gave me something to post about. Thanks.

Bad left hand and a good fist

If you want to read any more colorful ranty reviews that flow like newly bottled diarrhoea, check out the site, but as the Spanish would say, They don't have a good left hand. ie Their main prerogative may be to trash stuff and mouth off like truckers, but they have no grace. Poor use of bad language, too.

They use a fist-based ranking scheme, I got zero! To keep review rankings consistent, you get one fist for your site, ma'am. Choose any football team you like to give you the award as many times as you like.

Is it me or are there only 9 faces in the screenshot? Very wierd. It must be the Thursday thing.

One minute Lynn Sorel was tucking into her diner food, the next she was on national TV giving her opinion on the Comeback kids' political victories in NH. Hopefully the first of many minutes of fame.

OS9User blows the lid on the horribly depraved sexual antics of Britney Spears. Not only is her behavior a lesson in naughtiness, but if you watch the vid, you might even get a worm too. Terrible.

If you thought you were the only one having a bad day, take heart. IESP's there too! With a little one on the way, she of all people could do without any hassle. Here's the big one to her hubby's boss.

Some money-making bloggers are totally out there with their advice, but Mike is totally out there with his satellite blogs attracting extra traffic to his main money-making blog. Ka-ching.

Steve Smit is a blogging ninja. He makes clever use of martial arts thinking in a blogging environment. His lessons in SEO and blogging are introduced a la Kwai Chung Kane. Ah so!

Can you guess from the country profile in the image where Adam Klimowski hails from? Answers in comments, and don't look on his MyBlogLog community page first.

Diane ripped down the tinsel on Jan 5th, a day before the 12th day of Christmas, (ummm!) but now she feels ready for a new hairdo. Or does she? She should be thankful she has enough hair to play with.

Dan has introduced a new feature on Sundays, called It's All Greek to Me. I think it may be just popular enough to sink all interest in MyBlogLog Sunday. Oh well, you heard it here first!


Not everyone had a great Christmas, Larry lost a good friend, but it sounds like Mr Hmmmm will have a lot of good moments ahead, savoring all the good memories and recollections of Jack.

It isn't every day that you are 40, and not every day that MyBlogLog Sunday falls on a Thursday, but, at a time when up is down, what's the harm in pushing the boundaries. After all, this is the longest running MyBlogLog related feature on the internet, and we wouldn't want it getting too predictable!

Now those lame excuses and veiled apologies have been made, on with the show.

As per the "rules", the 10 bloggers in the screenshot will get a mini review, my finest PR4 backlink, plus a link to your MyBlogLog community...

This afternoon I will unleash my own hounds and try to find satirical salient points on those 10 featured blogs.

In the meantime, ommmmmmmmmmmm, relax. No recession here. ommmmmmmmmm

Oh, and I was looking at the avatars and was relieved that nobody is a gurner. Most disturbing.

Be back later.

And this video review from Breaking News will shed some light on what goes on, if you haven't called by before.

Hello again. Ouch!

I just returned from a week-long trip to beautiful recession-free Washington state and Vancouver Island. We didn't miss the madness that is life on the East coast of America, but all good things come to an end and I have returned - to even greater madness!!

If I was weak of heart, I would say that the wheels have fallen off America, irreversibly. The stock market has tanked 10%, the media is openly talking UP recession, housing is going further down the toilet, elections are crazy, the winter weather has turned to shirt sleeves... and The Pisstakers was hijacked temporarily by Anonymous. The end is nigh!!

Not here!

Recession is a positive

While others lose their head discussing the minutiae of temporarily declining extreme wealth, I say, keep cool, keep thinking, and find the funny side in the gloom. Also keep denying that recession is all bad.

There are two lights shining brightly against a back drop of doom and gloom Now you can watch some Comedy Channel programing, without risk of repeats, and there is a brilliant money-making blog to captivate and educate you like no other in its genre.

Colbert recession-proofing

In times of (perceived) recession, you need to cut costs. My fave black leg comedian, Stephen Colbert, is back in action with a leaner, meaner writing team of one, and to be honest, I can't tell the difference between his bare-bones show and those illustrious productions backed by teams of writers. It begs the question, does he need any staff on his payroll?

Maybe down-sizing is incredibly stressful for him, and he is going gray dreaming up all his own material, a lonesome comedian up against the wall and against the clock. If so, he could do himself a big favor by shaving his head bald. With no hair he can avoid the daily hair dyeing session, which will give him an extra hour's writing time. And with no hair, he has no worries about going gray from the pressure of being funny on his own .

Blogging unleashed

Opportunities arise from economic slow-downs (and I speak hypothetically because it ain't happening). However, if you want to be taken seriously as a blogger with a handle on making money on-line, what I suggest you don't do is start advising novices on how to make money - unless you really have made serious cash yourself. And even if you do have all the answers, you better be quick at making your mark, because I think Blogger Unleashed is going to become the numero uno of this genre in double quick time.

Bottom line, Vic is a new superstar blogger totally kicking the money-making bloggers' butt. I say new but only in terms of the life of his latest blog. He has been around for years, in the form of a bad boy blackhatter, ("engineers" who cheat Google for fun) and the great thing is, he knows ALL the tricks of the trade so you can make money the right way.

For me, the best thing about his blog is, he totally blows the conventional pro-blogger wisdom out the water with a magnificent mix of effing and blinding and grammar issues. And he is painfully honest and horribly blunt at times. But it is a brilliant read.

I would hazard a guess that Vic would spit in the face of recession doom and gloom. There is so much money to be made on the internet, if you know how.

Happy New year

There we go. Recession blown apart. Now we are all feeling better, it is time to wish all the best to friends and foes. 2008 is another 12 months for us to flourish, and even if the richest country in the world does go under without a whimper, you are all most welcome to share in Pisstakers fun and frolics, puns and bollocks.

And don't be like Anonymous and get too concerned with contrarian and tongue-in-cheek opinions. I have an opinion and an ass-hole just like everyone else, with a slight difference, this is a satirical platform. I am so serious I can't even buy boat insurance without joking about drinking and driving. Cheers
