Mr. BANANA's hole is dry

The Family Dysfunctionality Index (FDI) by Uncle Anders

Editor's Note: Uncle Anders asked me to put the following post on my blog. It is his 3rd gift to the next generation on how to find a suitable spouse. As most people know the first gift was the Earning Potential concept (EP) and the second was to make good use of credit scores in making a spousal assessment. From his perspective as a bachelor Norwegian farmer living on an old farm his advice is well worth heeding.

The Family Dysfunctionality Index (FDI) by Uncle Anders

FDI is a new tool to use when assessing a potential spouse or business partner. It is an index with a range of values from -100 to +100. It shows the net amount of functional interactions versus dysfunctional interactions in the person's family expressed as an index. Since dysfunctional interactions are subtracted from functional interactions a score of zero means 50% of the interactions are dysfunctional and 50% are functional. A score below zero means one should avoid this potential spouse like the plague since the rope on the knot you tie will be on the other end of an anchor pulling you under the water.

Just so you know a score of zero does not mean the average family scores zero on the scale. It just means 50% of the interactions are functional and 50% are dysfunctional (or stated in other words the family is screwed-up). Though the concept is new we think the average family will score around +80 (90% of interactions functional and 10% are dysfunctional).

To understand this index you need to know families are social systems. A system is a set of interacting elements. With a system the whole is greater than the sum of the parts. Properties emerge from a system not present in the individual elements (in this case people) in the system.

To calculate the index you need to sample interactions in the family. This is not easy since feedback to a system changes the system. If people know you are watching them they act like they think they are supposed to. Also, just being there changes the system if you interact with the family members since it creates a new system, The best tool we have learned of to date is a hidden microphone but beware of state laws on eavesdropping.

Recent bowl

The Family Dysfunctionality Index does not apply to this bowl since it cannot interact with other elements in a family system.

Another government boondogle?

The DNR is WI is going to introduce rattlesnakes into northern Wisconsin. The purpose is to limit the overexpansion of the wild turkey population. (they reintroduced the wild turkeys too). See this link for details: http://www.wsaw.com/home/headlines/16964551.html

The saga of Mr. BANANA's hole continues

The new Annointed One has made his choice.

Now we know what Biden meant when he was quoted by CNN as saying: "I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy," Biden said.

Another crackpot letter to blog editor

Editor:

If the Democrat party becomes completely in control next year needed change may be in the air. The Fairness Doctrine may finally restore fairness to the public's airwaves.

Right now most AM talk radio broadcasts conservative views over our public airways. That's fair? Many people are not conservatives. Conservative talk programming is only on the air since advertisers think people listen to it and make their ad buys accordingly.

Currently most religious radio broadcasts Christian views over our public airwaves. That's fair? Many people follow other traditions or no traditional at all. This programming is only on the air since contributors donate money to support it.

Finally, many community radio stations (as opposed to public radio like Wisconsin Public Radio) broadcast with a liberal slant over our public airways. That's fair? Many people aren't liberals. This programming is on the air since contributors and even your federal tax dollars support it.

In the novel 1984 everyone was equal but some people were more equal than others. Exempting some broadcasters from fairness regulations will mean everyone is fair but some stations are more fair than others. That's fair?

Nonpartisan political ad

Mr. BANANA's big, wet hole

For life enrichment he is going to sit and watch it dry out.

Time for a political endorsement

A run around the land

Will we be back before it rains?


Ayteevee tracks along the only place we let them roam without shooting at them.


Will the trees ever stop falling down?


Fall is coming.

As you can see TWW's life is lacking in life enriching experiences today.

A walk around the land - page 1

For life enrichment TWW took a walk around the land with his camera. But first he took some time to watch the Jerusalem artichoke grow. Next he needs to figure out what to do with it when it is ripe.

This housing crisis has even hit Garbin Moraine. These bluebirds had an adjustable rate mortgage and were in over their heads.

page 4

We have a bunch of brush waiting for the diva from Denver who is the family firebug to visit.


TWW cut down a cherry tree for bowls. Before he had the time to cut up the wood the Bambis have been climbing all over the branches eating the ripe cherries.

Every husband needs a secret passageway to escape from his wife's wrath at times.


The toad hopped away before TWW could get a picture of it.

Apples coming along fine until Bambi finds them. Right now the ground blind is set up by the apples with a target but .....



Watching the flowers grow old is life enriching.

Hybrid freeloading

Sometimes you have to mix pure freeloading with connections. The corn was a donation as was the Bambi meat. The hamburger was purchased at a good price due to connections. The result was a great meal of corn and Bambibrian burgers. Connections is an unexplored area in freeloading research so we may be doing more work in that area in the future. Freeloading is not a dichotomous entity. It is more like a continuum with pure freeloading on one end and paying one's fair share on the other.

1of 10 - For life enrichment visit South Dakota

For life enrichment take a trip to South Dakota with H & M Van Tours. H & M Van Tours tours have all the amenities. They even have extra items like men's socks for closet transvestites who accidentally bring their women's socks with them.

On the road to South Dakota. "Driver: are we there yet?" was often heard from the back seat.

2 of 10

M & H Van Tours specialize in transporting backseat drivers who demand impromptu stops to shop. Here are some typical backseat drivers. Here is what the backseat driving experience is like. As soon as TWW sat in the back seat he felt the incredible urge to give orders and buy things.
