Billy Mays was selling this food spinner or chopper or whatever it was on TV. BUT WAIT! If you call now, your order will be DOUBLED! Nobody would ever need two of these things. Oh, and by the way, there's no such thing as a free lunch. You still have to pay inflated S&H on the "free" one that probably rivals the actual price. ( no, I didn't call to order )
This is a good offer if you share costs with someone else or want to give one as a gift. I'm not really sure why I'm talking about this, guess it was just on my mind. BAM!
We had a nice time seeing a few people Sunday for an engagement gathering for Mike and Ali. I must thank Alison for showing us it's OK to chase whiskey shots with Champange.
Speaking of nuts, happy Natioal Pistachio Day! Also, happy birthday Levi Strauss. You are dead.
I watched Moment of Truth on TV last night. I am familiar with suspense tactics used by these kinds of shows to keep you watching, but come on. Anybody else see this? The show would be on for 3-5minutes at a time, then a teaser for the next segment. Then 5 minutes of commercials. ( yes, one of my co-workers was timing it ) When they came back, they replayed 1-2 minutes of the previous segment before moving on to next new 2 miniutes. Then the exact same teaser followed by commercials. I honestly bet they only used 15-20 minutes of material in an hour.
It was supposed to be dramatic I guess, but it was cheesy and boring. They had the host do a special monolouge on how uncomfortable he was and how he urged the station not to air it. It's a good thing the media doesn't think we are all idiots! Baaa Baaa
My Bitch is getting restless, so I'm going to go take her for a walk. LATE!

It's Bananas! B-A-N-A-N-A-S!!!
The Buddhists must have known they were on to something good. They started writing about it in 600 BC. Alexander the Great, the Chinese, Islams, Palestines, and Portuguese all jumped on the band wagon over the years too.
Yes, I am refering to that slightly curved yellow phallus we all love.... the banana. BTW, the word banana comes from an Arabic word meaning "finger."
You may find yourself asking, " where is he going with this?"
Well, today is National Banana Bread Day! The way I see it, without the invention of banana bread, we would never have discovered bananas! MMMM, Yummy in my tummy!
Today I chose to celebrate the naner instead of writing about the barbaric way in which we humans treat bananas. OK, I'll make it short. It starts out nice with the whole banana gang in a bunch together. We buy them and tear them apart from their family. We then proceed to snap thier neck off and slowly peel their skin from their fragile bodies. Once we have exposed their guts, we take our razor sharp teeth and tear them apart... piece by piece. They are then forced to endure hours in our digestive tract before we get rid of them. This takes a toll on them and they end up looking like crap. :)
Enjoy your banana bread! GOOD DAY!

Recent News
The Lumberjax won Sunday. There was blood.
I picked up my canopy today for the riceburner. Its nice. I'm moving in today. Can you put a urinal in those things?
We painted the living room. I hate painting. My first job at 14 was painting. I hate painting. It looks good. I hate painting.
We went to Sunriver a couple weeks ago. There was snow. It was cold. It's winter. I think everyone had a great time and remember to let some air out of the tires when you ride a bike in the snow. Frank is a ROCK STAR!
Today is National Sticky Bun Day! (Feb 21) I could make a whole seperate post regarding the term "sticky buns", and depending on how tonight goes I may just do it. Don't tempt me. Stop it! Remember, nuts are optional. (according to the recipe) hold me back.....
I have a feeling you'll hear from me again today DA Da da

It's Electricifying!
Last night at work I had a very fun dream! ( no, I didn't have to change my sheets ) I was flying a very fast jet over an urban sprawl. Mary, what does that mean? Anyway, I was going way too fast for my comfort level and had no idea how to stop. I began climbing and noticed power lines.. alot of power lines. I hit about 400 of them and as I was clearing the last line I awoke.
Where I work, sleep is very hard to come by, and when you get awakened it is not a peaceful thing. A very loud beep penetrates your brain followed by a strangers voice telling you it's time to make a house call. At the same time the lights above your bed turn on and bells ring.
Since I was already scared crapless in my dream, the extra ado in real life made me wish for some Depends. I wonder how far I would have gone in that jet. I wonder if I would have severed a Swiss ski lift line. I wonder if I would have ejected and landed at Hef's mansion. I wonder if I would have soared past a glass elevator until I totally eclipsed the moon in an attempt to shoot down a spy satellite.
Anybody see those newly discovered sea spiders on the news? Creepy. I wonder how you get on the board in charge of naming those things.
Does anybody know where I can find a rock version cover of the song Mandy? Do you think there's an afro version? Ooohhhh... Shaniqua, you came and you took without giving.
Congrats Krista and Guy!
Congrats Mike and Ali!
I'm really glad I'm so cool.

Bathroom Cam
I've been away from the Puter for a few days, so when I sat down to check my Me-Mail today I ended up typing and typin and typing.... Don't worry dear, I've kept the laundry going.
Anyway, I've been thinking bout installing cameras on the EXTERIOR only of my house.
So relax.
I just thought I'd take this oppurtunity to let you know in case you were peeping at me through the windows.
Don't know when, don't know where. Could be soon.
That's the last you will hear about that.
Go Patriots!

12 years ago.. well, almost 13
13 years ago, I quit high school. I went to a local school here in East County with a pretty low student population, classwise. That is, I believe, what makes the following story so interesting.
I went to the grocery store this morning in Salem after work. As I was finishing up, I heard someone behind me say, "hey!" I very vaugely thought I recognized this person, but had no clue why. He approached me and asked me if I lived in East County. I said yes. He asked if I was a firefighter. I said yes. ( I realize now that I was wearing union attire. ) He proceeded to give me this story about how he remembered me and knew my name, though he wasn't sure how. His car broke down in the parking lot, the next bus to the EC wasn't for four more hours, and the taxi ride was going to cost almost 50 bucks. He wanted a ride home.
I still had to go to Costco before returning home, and since I hate shopping, figured a cart pusher couldn't hurt. So we went to Costco, he pushed my cart, ( or whatever the kids call it these days ) and then I took him home. ( to his house, where I dropped him off, no money exchanged, enough innuendos..)
Turns out he was a Senior when I was a Freshman and we had nothing to do with each other. He also ended being in one of my college classes before moving to P-town and getting married. His wife died a few years ago from an illness that I had growing up. He knows the guy I bought my truck from. He moved back to the EC, only a few blocks from where I live.
We probably met 13 years ago, but only remembered each others faces and nothing else.
I think it's important to share stories like this because it is a good reminder ( at least for me ) that sometimes things from your past can resurface, good or bad. Has anybody reading this ever said something like, " I don't care, I'll never see them again anyway."? I have.

Line This!
I got a bedliner last week for my little riceburner. It got sprayed in. I can't take it out. It has a lifetime warrenty, which got me thinking...
What else could I get sprayed to make it last my entire lifetime?
Think about it.
The name of the company is Line-X. I see at least 2 or 3 of their logo stickers on the back of trucks everyday, which got me thinking...
If I have already paid for the product, why should I provide free advertising for them?
I was going to put a picture of the logo on this blog so we could all be aware of what it looks like when we are driving, which got me thinking...
If I don't want to advertise for them, why would I put another image of their logo on the World Wide Web for the Wide Web World viewers to see all over the world?
ooops, it slipped ( BTW, that's the first time I've ever said that )
I'm very tired

Viva Vivian!
Happy B-day Vivian!
Always love the ones that take care of you, never critizice them for trying, be understanding of their weaknesses and know that none of us are perfect even though we think we are. Healthy comptition is good, but remember there is always somebody that looks better. The grass is almost never greener over there at the Mustang Ranch! :)
Appreciate that there will be people that disagree with you, and know that if everyone had the same opinion life would be boring.
No matter which path you travel, certain people will love you unconditionally and wish the best for you.
In the words of a country song.. I hope you dance.
Placing blame never makes either side happy. Never lose that smile! Give the benefit of the doubt.. even when there's lots of doubt.
Things can change fast, be ready and be resilient. Most importantly, be you.
Again, Happy Birthday Vivian!

You goin my way?
If I'm on cruise control, and you pass me, then I pass you, then you pass me, then I pass you.... Don't look at me like I'm an idiot. I will smile and wave because..... I'm on cruise!
Coincidence?
I brought home Hairspray tonight. I am watching it right now. I was just informed that another well known and liked blogger just wrote about this recently. Alls I gots to say is...... I think every day should be Negro day!!!!
On another note, It was afrotastic to see most of the family today for lunch! My Nephew Tyler cracks me up when he bursts into random laughter! My Niece Chloe is becoming a middle-schooler very soon, although you'd think she's graduated high school already.
Topics of conversation today:
Chloe is excited to get to middle school and have a locker. It is exciting at first.. then you realize the reason you have a storage shelf is because you have too many text books to carry. Too many binders and too much home work. That's just my opinion, and I know the only reason you stop here on your WWW voyage is for a dose of my opinion. :) Thanks to understanding parents and a horrible attendance record, I was able to leave high school at 16. I recommed it to anybody that has issues with schedules and structures. Now I only work ten days a month!!
OK, I'll step down now...
Second topic:
Chloe had the oppurtunity to attend a birthday party at Chuck E Cheeses today. We had a discussion. Actually, let me throw this out there.. and please comment regarding this issue if you have thoughts....
Chuck E Cheese is a restaurant. It is geared toward children and families. I have many good memories from my childhood from there. ( like when Chuck scared the crap out ot my gramma B )
Alot of their success is built on their mascot Chuck. Chuck is a RAT! Whos brilliant idea was it to
market a rat as a restaurant mascot? And be successful!!?
As I've said before.... WTF?
One last thing tonight...
Hypothetically, with no reference to actual people or events..
If you run your car through a building with people in it, make sure they take the fall for you when you run away. Keep your stories straight and find a better hiding place then the local shrub. If somebody rats you out, make sure you take care of it.
G'nite
