I've heard everyone go on regarding an emergency kit. Blankets, water, spare socks, tool kit, flares and what not. Those bits I've internalized since before I learned to drive.
My idea of an emergency kit, is a spare glucose meter, my two types of insulin pen, and a sugar drink in case of low blood glucose reading.
Kit II
Five Diapers, wipes, 2 bibs, fresh onesie, thermometer, basic meds (me, gf & the kid).
Kit III
2 VHS tapes, w/6 hours of movies 5 DVD movies, In case I have to save movie night. I love my friends but some of them have iffy tastes in movies.
I have other kits designed around situations, I have a rubbermaid box of 19 gallon capacity, that contains all that is needed to administrate a Science Fiction Convention.
Another box contains contingency equipment for anything that can go wrong when 2 dozen or so guys decide to drive their motorcycles 2000 miles on a moment's notice.

Pocket Carry Sux
I got a holstered KelTec PF9. Today I decided to clean my pocket pistol. I haven't shot it, since I bought it. Though I came close last night. Someone walked off with my bluetooth ear piece by mistake. Rule in my old outfit was, if you chamber a round, you clean the gun.
Despite the holster, damn thing was filled, with dusty pocket lint. I could have supplied Infocom's Hich Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy game with enough pocket fluff for ten games.
I guess I should clean once a week anyway...
I mean, nobody wants to be shot with a fluffy gun....

Bite Me Godwin!
Am I a Nazi?
I like a clean kitchen.
Food comes out of there, I like it clean. I'm funny that way!
Our family has a trash compactor installed in said kitchen.
Why does the roomie insist on filling random containers,
-12 pack soda boxes etc. with trash?
She aint gonna wake up before the truck comes on trash day.
I gotta run all around the house, picking up garbage she made.
Get it all in the can and out to the curb.
Plus if any of her friends come over, I gotta clean aluminum cans out
of the trash, and make sure none of my personal property walked off.
If it's called Tourist Season, why can't we shoot them?

what's in it'ssss Pocketssss Precioussss?
My good bud Marko started the "pockets" meme yet again.Lessee, I just got my Gerber EVO knife swiped by a theater seat. The other knife is a dollar store special. The three white tubes are in ascending order of size, a vicks inhaler, my pill bottle, and my pocket change, -also has a motel sewing kit. Brown bottle contains my nitroglycerin tabs. Cell phone and two batteries. Billfold. Tape measure for any barroom bets. Mini Bic Lighter. Keys w/VW remote. Kel-Tec PF-9 in 9mm with spare round. 2 spare mags in my jacket along with 2 spares each for the S&W 457 in .45ACP, and the Tokarev in 7.62x25mm.
oh and a green bandanna for brow-mopping and nose-blowing...
This is just my pants mind you. I must carry 20 pounds in my safari vest...
I do wonder what would happen if I popped 4 nitroglycerin tabs into that hollow point? Would it actually go boom?

When ya really wanna rip an MP3
I have a stereo cassette player next to my computer downstairs.
A friend can bring me over a usb equipped turntable to rip a record track.
And I even have a wire to rip from the radio or my cell phone.
Now I've hit a new high. Or Low!
Songs I've heard 30 years ago, I found on youtube.
Now I hook the wire from my laptop to the ripping computer.
And IF the RIAA reads this, I'm prepared to pay a royalty competitive to
what I'd pay for a song on itunes or whadever!
I'd buy the CD or vinyl if you'd get the label to reissue!

I truly love the Internet!
back in the day, I'd have to trundle down to the library, let the little goth girl talk me into doing my own research. Then a dozen patrons seeing me behind the info desk would converge like locusts, wanting me to help them out.
Now I just type in a song lyric, and I get my results. What used to take a week, (or at least all day), now comes back instantly. Plus the feature that I get naked wimmen in my face. Whether I want them or not. I get my own live nude women now. All I gotta do is not do the laundry when it's my turn.

Winchester White Box Wonder!
Back in the Halcyon days of the past, I'd buy a box of 100 rounds of 9mm or .45acp Winchester usually in Full Metal Jacket. I drop the rounds into trays so it'd be easier to load into magazines at the range. Sometimes I'd be pleasantly surprised by an extra round, once two extra rounds. Quite the deal for $10-11.
Well the last 5 boxes I scored on my last three journeys to the Valley Wal-Mart had 99. My first impulse was to shrug it off. I'd gotten enough bonus rounds over the years...
Then I realized the boxes all had the same lot number. maybe I'd better give them a friendly heads up.
Guy called back today and took down my information in detail.
I'll keep everyone posted....

we're bastards?
this commentator says he'd vote ten times to keep "those bastards" (non Democrats) out of office.
We're Bastards?
Democrat's want to take freedom, the constitution, anyone who disagrees with them, and give them the same fate as a 14 year old asian girl in a snuff porn movie.
We're Bastards!!!!!
Let's be Inglorious Basterds.
Let's all send 100 democrat scalps to either Brad Pitt or Quentin Tarantino.
Chris Matthews weighed in as pro-cheating.
That's no surprise.
He waiting in the wings, if Michelle leaves, Chris will be there to console Barry.
I mean during the election his fellow reporters were saying 'get a room'.
