With Frickin’ Laser Beams. http://www.dwink.net/2009/05/22/pecked-to-death-by-chickens-with-frickin-laser-beams/ http://www.dwink.net/2009/05/22/pecked-to-death-by-chickens-with-frickin-laser-beams/#comments Fri, 22 May 2009 13:21:17 +0000 d.w. http://www.dwink.net/2009/05/22/pecked-to-death-by-chickens-with-frickin-laser-beams/ There comes a point in every man's life where he realizes that his Achilles' heel is fully exposed. My 7 year old is currently kicking mine with remarkable aplomb.

If he were just being "bad", it'd be one thing. He's not destroying things, or abusing the animals, or breaking his siblings' toys; he's not taking the car for joyrides or inviting hookers from Craigslist over for a midnight snack ( and let's be clear, if he DID invite a hooker over it would actually be for a midnight snack -- cookies, maybe some Sprite... ). He's pulling the Diet-Coke-of-Evil stuff: sneaking extra video-game time, conveniently 'forgetting' that he wasn't supposed to go to the bratty girl down the street's house without asking first, stubbornly refusing to do anything at all if he doesn't get to do whatever his first choice is...

I'm running low on patience here. I don't think taking stuff away is working, and talking about it doesn't seem to stick. I'm thinking gypsies, or maybe a shock collar. And whiskey ( for me, not him).

That is, if I don't crumble to dust first.

I won't claim to be an analyst or expert, or to have any clue what today's outcome will mean for our country's future ( less than the Empassioned think and greater than zero, if experience serves). I will claim, however, to be an unyielding prick if I get wind of a political complaint from a registered voter who didn't vote. Not voting means you don't care - and you gave up caring until next election. Suck it up, take resposibility for your choice, and shut up about it until your next opportunity to vote.

Thanks.
