Now here's a commercial.
No trick photography, 606 takes, multiple millions of dollars and the disassembly of 2 of only 6 hand built Honda Accords on the planet, nice!

Now that the modem is fixed,
back to blogging the beta!
Things we know:
1) I have a lot of bad habits that crappy players don't exploit.
2) Aside from that, I'm not half bad.
3) The Admir0l doesn't trust his rifle (even though there are many like it, that one is his).
4) The Admir0l also needs to work on closing his distance versus just blasting away into a hole (almost reminds me of a conversation Saturday night).
5) Double fucking spikers are Christmas come early!
6) Other than the fact I will have 'BETA BUILD' burned into my screen, this game is a blast.

The current score is: Clover 2, Birds 0
So I usually throw the dogs out in the back of the back yard - it cuts down on the shit in the area I frequent.
Apparently, little birds do their best to learn to fly between the hours of 7 and 10 PM.
The past few nights, after I feed them dinner, when I go out to get them, Clover is doing her "angry" voice, and usually has something sticking out of her mouth.
Most of the time this is just a turd, so I let it fly.
However, I've been noticing that these 'turds' have legs and feathers.
So I'm torn - do I keep the dogs up front at night and risk dog shit in my garden, Henry pissing on my roses, and probably just general mayhem yet have birds get eaten
OR...
Do I protect the innocent baby birds and accept a few weeks of shit and piss?
VOTE EARLY, VOTE OFTEN!

Putting the brakes on...
partying. So I got word yesterday that a girl who was at the party I went to on Saturday was raped by one of the redneck mofo's. What the hell is wrong with these kids. When your girl gets all fucked up way too early in the evening to you put her in the tub (for vomiting, etc). Then you take her ass to bed in a room where she will be surrounded by other girls. Worst case scenario her first lesbian experience smells a little like puke, upside however is that puke will always remind her of her roommate's gentle touch and supple breast.
On a different note, I decided to have a breakfast similar to The Admiral's (no beans). I had 5 eggs, 6 link sausages, 5 pieces of toast, and a cup of corned beef hash. Since yesterday at 1:00 I have felt horrible. Now the sheer size of the meal does not concern me. I need to find out which item was spoiled or whatever. If I die blame Jimmy Dean.

...Let's Roll Bitches
So Saturday I punk'd a bitch ass mofo. I had been drinking for like 8 hours and this redneck punk ass decided to slap my girlfriend's car whilst we were in it. He soon realized his mistake.
I didn't check him for urine stains but I'm pretty sure that they were there. Since then I have had this song in my head.
Side note, sorry I couldn't be at the fight I had to go to some 18- 21 y/o house party that my girlfriend signed us up for like a month ago, I just forgot.

Pre-bedtime Memorial Day reminder
In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
And of course my favorite poem:
Bent double, like old beggars under sacks,
Knock-kneed, coughing like hags, we cursed through sludge,
Till on the haunting flares we turned our backs
And towards our distant rest began to trudge.
Men marched asleep. Many had lost their boots
But limped on, blood-shod. All went lame; all blind;
Drunk with fatigue; deaf even to the hoots
Of disappointed shells that dropped behind.
GAS! Gas! Quick, boys!-- An ecstasy of fumbling,
Fitting the clumsy helmets just in time;
But someone still was yelling out and stumbling
And floundering like a man in fire or lime.--
Dim, through the misty panes and thick green light
As under a green sea, I saw him drowning.
In all my dreams, before my helpless sight,
He plunges at me, guttering, choking, drowning.
If in some smothering dreams you too could pace
Behind the wagon that we flung him in,
And watch the white eyes writhing in his face,
His hanging face, like a devil's sick of sin;
If you could hear, at every jolt, the blood
Come gargling from the froth-corrupted lungs,
Obscene as cancer, bitter as the cud
Of vile, incurable sores on innocent tongues,--
My friend, you would not tell with such high zest
To children ardent for some desperate glory,
The old Lie: Dulce et decorum est
Pro patria mori.

An addendum to the Red Shirt Theorem
So at the D's housewarming shindig, one of the discussions was about unnamed Ensigns on Star Trek who are guaranteed to die.
My addition was that in basically any movie with a black guy named Jonesy, he was a target certain for the man on the Pale Horse.
I would like to put an addendum onto that stipulation:
ANY black person on a Sci-Fi Channel movie is one of the walking dead.
They just don't know it yet.
The only anti-corallary to that is if the black person is Orlando Jones.

I'm done.
I can't keep this up, so I am officially taking a drink-cation until the Junio birthday of the Gimp.

Chris Cornell
I love Chris Cornell and his voice probably more than is natural for a hetero male. Anyhoo, him singing 'Billy Jean' is great except for the chorus (don't know, just don't dig that part). The song itself is a dirge, which he is fantastic at; here it is:
Lifting w. the Greguar
So the -uar is going to do a 5k at some point in the near future.
One of the stipulations of this race will be that every bench press you do of 80% of your body wait, you get 15 seconds off of your time.
Now, the -uar is well known for being a muscular fellow.
So if the -uar benches 135 89 times, his time will be zero, if he can run a 22:15 race.

Addendum to Mr. Greguar's HFS boxing post
So the Sidekick made the greatest commentary about this fight
The Greguar made a comment about the "Columbian on the right".
***SITE ADMIN NOTE***
Let me just point out we're watching a fight between Ebony & Ivory.
So the Sidekick pipes in "you mean Irish Mickey Columbia or the black guy"?

Nominee for Worst Movie Ever
Now, this has to be a nominee, because 'The Core' already takes that cake, hands down, as the Worst Movie Ever.
I mean in 10,000 years, we can depend on two things:
That giant clock will still be ticking, and no worse movie will possibly be made.
My top spot as Runner Up would go to 'Sum of All Fears' for spending literally millions of dollars making a movie, but forgetting to pay 10 cents for a pair of balls.
Just the wussing out by making Nazis the bad guys would make ANY movie a nominee, but by also making so many changes to a rock solid story also makes me LOATHE this movie.
Baltimore ? Who the fuck would bomb Baltimore ? Even Nazis love the Charm City!

Trey D and his 30th cycle around Mother Sol.
HFS. My baby is turning 30. This has so far been a pretty hard-core year, but I'm fairly certain that the period of time around June 16th we are going to tie one on, the likes of which even Muad'Dib has never seen.
Confronting the Mastermind behind 9/11
If only we had a time machine, we would stop him and his nefarious sister!!!
***Site Admin Note***
Stopping the GP & his Sister would mean that the GP would never get married, thus the Admir0l would never have met the fair Nancy.
All I'm saying is - what price are we willing to pay to stop the GP?
Instead, why don't we use the Time Machine to rig the stock market and become billionaires - then we give some of that to the widow and orphans.
It's a win/win situation!
So talking shit with the nut Flush means nothing....
when you're heads up against a Full House.
And talkin' smack when you're drawing dead is just embarrassing.

Jolly good Anglish breakfast
Normally, I get hongree about 4 hours after waking up.
So over the past three weeks, I have been perfecting the art of the breakfast.
Even Tzom, the land shark, would be satiated by what I believe is fast becoming the best meal of the day:
Eggs
Bacon
Biscuits
Beans
If I had time, I would toss in some home fries.
Maybe pictures to follow.

I love A-Rod more and more

The guys @ MrMixTape.org are searching for cool covers, but NO PUNK.
With my pedestrian taste in music, that leaves me very little to work with.
However, my fall back position of Lesbian Folk Rock reminded me of the Indigo Girls cover of Midnight Train to Georgia. Good times.

Sort of pissed of Heroes spoilers.
The very good -- HFS, both Peter & Nathan dying.
Thats just ballsy writing, killing of two major characters.
The very bad -- Sylar living. Why, Why, Why, Why, Why!!!!!
This shtick is old and tired. It's too Friday the 13th.
Look, Hiro should have cut his head off, not just stabbed him.
The ugly -- lots of commercials.
If only I had bit torrent, I could avoid that shit.
On the whole, for only the cost of a Saturday when I wasn't doing anything anyway, I give an enthusiastic two thumbs up to Heroes.

On the whole, for only the cost of a Saturday when I wasn't doing anything anyway, I give an enthusiastic two thumbs up to Heroes.
So, let me tell you about something I hate.
It's fucking Quicktime.
This long drink of cocksucker likes to reinstall itself to appear in my system tray every time it has to update itself. And since Apple updates Itunes (which QT is attached to) every couple of weeks, this cuntstain (thanks Firefox, I realize that cuntstain may not be in the OED, but work with me here) just keeps reappearing in the lower right corner of my screen.
FUCK ALL!
Every fucking time I have to go double click the little bastard, go to the fucking advanced settings and unclick the goddamned 'show in system tray' checkbox (if they were really 'advanced settings', you'd think that this abortion of a program would remember it (N.B. makes me glad I've pirated the pro version)).
So, what am I saying here:
quite simply, the iphone, after a huge amount of initial buzz, is going to be a massive flop on the scale of the edsel or Microsoft 'Bob' and that Steve Jobs is a cocksucking bastard.

Heroes marathon is complete.
Wow. I've tended to agree with the maxim that if you miss a shows first season, its impossible and pointless to try catching up.
I'm very glad I took the time out of my busy schedule to catch the marathon on Sci-Fi.
Season Finale tomorrow night, beeches - please, no interruptions from 9 until 10 PM.
***SITE ADMIN NOTICE ***
Gee sent me to the Darpa Net to investigate how suspiciously similar Heroes is to THIS
I believe we now have our answer.
The D traveled through time, picked up a copy of a sports alamanac, brought it back and has become a billionaire.
Oh, and he plagiarizes comic books.
Case closed.

ARGHHHH!!!!
So my love of all things Biel has taken a beating.
Not from her banging JT, that I can deal with.
So I movie-pooped Next, thinking, you know, I like these kinds of things.
Love the Time Cop.
Jet Li's The One -> Love it. <3 it.
Take a guess who sets off the nuke from the previews.
Lets see.
My first guess would be Christian anti-abortion zealots.
Next would be right wing anti-gubmint survivalists from Wyoming.
Third, I would think Nazi sympathizers.
Rounding out the list would be Jews.
Answer: None of the above!
Russians.
WTF!!!
Is this a remake of 'Sum of All Fear' ?
Is Hollywood so full of BDS that they believe making a movie that actually shows the one group of persons that engage in 90% of all terrorist acts would seem like some kind of implicit endorsement of Arbusto?
Or are they scared that some group like CAIR might try to have a straight faced protest that "movies portraying Arabs & Persians as terrorists are racist and defamatory!"
That would seem like the easiest argument to win, EVER.
Just say "Umm, shut up."
It's like if in WWII, movies were made with the Zulu as the antagonists. Yeah, they were a threat 50 years ago, but I cant see the relevance now.
How could JB's agent let her get involved in this crap without script approval in her contract!!!

More hang-out etiquette.
I had COMPLETELY forgotten about the worst hang out etiquette moment, EVAH!
The Sidekick and I had gone to Cary to play poker, and the host got drunk and started babbling about Bush = McCarthy.
Partially out of annoyance that he had broken the unspoken vow, and partially because that was idiocy, I piped in:
"Except for being crazy, was their anything McCarty said that was factually wrong?"
Sidekick "Nope."
R.A. "Whitaker Chambers?"
Sidekick "Commie spy."
R.A. "State Department ?"
Sidekick "Full of commie spies. And homos."
OMG it was fucking hilarious. Anthony, the host, ended up calling me a fascist.
At which point I asked him "How many fascist states cut taxes and support their citizens owning guns? NONE - they're too busy making trains run on time and gassing Jews."
What a night!
The funniest part of the whole thing was that even the Euphemism thought he was being a dick. And she NEVER agreed w. me, about ANYTHING!

HFS! HFS! HFS! This is why I love Boxing!
I just watched 7 rounds of two 170+ pound guys slugging it out. Just hitting each other flush in the face and body back and forth. Great part about this fight, the referee hates stopping fights. He basically rather see someone die. So for the first 5 rounds these two guys go back and forth average 90 punches each a round.
The two guys fighting you ask? Edison "Pantera" Miranda who knocked out Allan Green (guy who kept looking down at his feet because he was pretty sure he shit his pants after he got hit by "Pantera".) and Kelly Pavlik (I've seen him and this guy is 30-0 with 27 KO's, great part about him is he doesn't know how to get his fucking hands up).
So instead of being scared of the "Pantera" what does Pavlik want to do? Basically say, "Fuck this poor Colombian asshole! Who the fuck is he to me? Maybe he'll enjoy my right glove down his dipshit throat." And so here we go. In the first 5 rounds I was legitimately nervous watching this craziness.
Now my friends, hopefully you recorded this. I sure as hell did. Because even though the first 5 rounds were unfuckingbelievable, the rounds after the fifth couldn't have even happened on this plane of existence. Goddamn Einstein couldn't have calculated how these rounds bent the fabric of time. I don't want to ruin it for you, but this is definitely fight of the year for me up to this point.
If boxing was always like this, bullshit UFC couldn't touch it with all their rolling around on the ground and only allowing one knockdown when someone happens to land a magic punch. Now this fight I would have paid $50 for, but actually got to see it for free.
Addendum: The supposed main even of Jermain Taylor vs Cory Spinks was absolutely putrid. This is why I hate boxing too.

Goddamn Einstein couldn't have calculated how these rounds bent the fabric of time. I don't want to ruin it for you, but this is definitely fight of the year for me up to this point.
If boxing was always like this, bullshit UFC couldn't touch it with all their rolling around on the ground and only allowing one knockdown when someone happens to land a magic punch. Now this fight I would have paid $50 for, but actually got to see it for free.
Addendum: The supposed main even of Jermain Taylor vs Cory Spinks was absolutely putrid. This is why I hate boxing too.
Since we're already talkin' politics....
I think that San Antonio's image as the 'finger quote' (I'm sort of taken with this phrase lately - i saw it used today quite inappropriately, so I want to try taking back either finger quote or finger bang, and I decided to start with the easier of the two)
back on task....
I think the Spurs' image as the "good guys", you know, not "gritty" like Detroit, well that image has been shot all to hell.
If you want to play in the West, you've got to beat Dallas & Phoenix, at least for the next 3 to 5 years.
They are both going to reload and be tough as 10 penny nails until old age catches up with their knees.
So for my beloved Timmy and his crew to stoop to a cheap win to get to the Conference Finals is just a nasty taste. I only like nasty tastes if they involve a gallon of week old margaritas or yodeling a 56 year old Cougar's valley.
Either way, I would prefer San Antonio to have taken the high road and tossed game 5.
As for politics, this immigration bill would be the death knell of the Republican Party. Would, if it passed. I think it's dead in the House. Think, but not sure.
I mentioned many moons ago that its only when a 3rd party that is MORE conservative than the Oliphants runs that Dems can win the White House.
I also believe that a Hispanic will be President before a black or woman.
Well, don't be surprised when Al Gore hops into the race and pulls a Nixon '68.
Suck it, beeches.
Go Spurs. Except for Eva Longoria, who's probably an illegal alien and should be shipped back to Me-hico.

Hanging out and etiquette
So when amongst a group of friends, you get a general feel over time for the leanings of said persons, right or left, religious or not, etc...
Over time, whether through spoken or unspoken rule sets, you get a comfort zone of topics that can be discussed civilly and those that are verboten.
I always figured that was the greasy slickness of pragmatism, that your friends are more important than a fight.
Now, wives on the other hand....
When in the company of strangers, I personally always assumed that politics and religion were just to be left off the table, in an homage to etiquette that, Yahweh or Xenu forbid, the persons in the room might not agree with you.
Seemed like common sense to me.
Amongst my friends, I am most likely thought of as the 'finger quote' conservative, with my disbelief in evolution being the foremost topic of disagreement. However, those that know me realize I am not a blathering Neanderthal and that I also am amongst those who feel that proselytizing makes others uncomfortable.
Fair enough.
So, there is your set up.
The Sidekick and I go to the D's house (who's house?) for his engagement/slash/house warming shin dig.
Great group of folks, good times being had by all.
I'm making it clear to all that if they know of any young ladies who are:
1) Pretty
2) Smart
3) Easy
that 1 out of 3 is good enough for the Admir0l.
Once again, good time being had by all.
So one of the D's college buddies, who is an amateur comedian, had earlier been making jokes about Arbusto. Now, I'm in the camp that I had MANY great years of Clinton jokes, so fairs fair. Later, he and his wife are telling me that I need to come to Chapel Hill to meet some ladies who at least fulfill criteria #3.
Then they drop a show stopper.
"Oh, but you better be liberal."
Now, imagine if you can - The Sidekick and I look at each other, both make the same "OOOOOOOHHHHHHH!!!" sound, and then the Sidekick goes "That might be a problem."
So cars going Mach Jesus and then hitting the brakes could not have squealed their tires louder.
It was the kind of ear splitting silence that makes deaf kids wince.
Horribly uncomfortable - for them.
Not for me & the Sidekick, because our lives are nothing but a series of uncomfortable events strung together with alcohol.
So from now on, I know that every event in the future where the D brings together his two groups of friends, I will be wearing my "I <3 Scalia" t-shirt.

mk0817(13:55:51): what's Project Harmony?
kh4796(13:57:00): it involves a supervirus, released in Raccoon City. The President's daughter is a hippy and joined a cult bent on destroying America, so they infiltrated Ft. Dix and stole the virus. Its all very complicated.

News
So, in twenty years people will ask what you were doing when you heard the news and you'll describe this very moment. On May 15, 2007, Sullivan Residence Hall was added to the future demolition list. That's right, (tentitively) it will be imploded in 2012. And guess what the main reason for this is: a mysterious deteriation of the plumbing that they don't know how to fix without spending millions.

Funny story. So the Hammer-Toe surgery is today.
My mom's ONE explicit instruction was for me to keep my cell phone on in case anything went wrong.
(What exactly can go wrong during a toe surgery?)
So the cell phone is turned on.
It's just next to my bed.

Thoughts on Les Miserables.
So I'm aboot 80% through. Marius and Cosette are all doe-eyed, the riots just started.
Here's my thoughts on the French, based on reading one incredibly long discourse on them:
Americans shoot rioters.
The French give them statues.
They like the civil disruption. It seems part of their soul, their being.
The fact they are on their 5th Republic, and we are on our 1st is probably a result of this.
In the near future, with this new guy Sarkozy, I wont be surprised if there are strikes and riots.
Now I understand - le Français a le désordre dans leurs coeurs.

So I may have gotten like 30 minutes of sleep last night. I actually had to come home from work and go to bed. WTF !!! I thought getting the one stressful thing out of my life would have resolved this. Apparently not.

RotK might not be a perfect movie. In fact, its not...
but 3 scenes stand out for me as damn near perfect film making
1) Gandalf bucking up the troops
"You are men of Gondor. Whatever come through that door, you will stand and fight."
HFS. Goose bumps.
2) Gandalf and Pippin, when all hope seems lost.
That speech... wow. I cry. Every time.
3) Eowen vs. the Witch King. Maybe a little schmaltzy, but FUCK!, that whole scene is about as awesome as it gets.
Theoden's death is what we call a "good death".
But all that goodness is of course negated by the Elves coming to die at Helm's Deep in TT. Bullshit. Lets see: "Hey, if you head West, you will NEVER die. And you hate humans. Why don't you hang out for a few more days, take a vacation down in Rohan. Maybe battle a horde."
"Ummm, sorry, my credit card miles are only good if I travel now. Today."
And anyway - Legolas survives all this shit, and he's only like 300. Those dudes from Rivendell would have, most likely, all been at Last Alliance - 3000 years ago!!!
Gil-Galad killed THEE fuckin Balrog. By himself.
And Pete Jackson wants us to believe 10,000 friggin bastardized uber-orcs would be able to kill even one Elf?
Bullshit.
But once again, Tom Bombadill could have just destroyed the Ring himself.

I know we're not normally a sports blog, but... Top 50 Boxers of all time
This is ESPN's list. I found it very interesting and having pictures of each fighter was a nice touch. I do not disagree with the rankings too much. Number 1 is right on the money, and the ranking of Roberto Duran is ridiculous. Note that a Joo is in the top 10.

My gawd. We ate dinner with him!
So apparently, not only were we blind to the GP's Sister's Earthquake Machine, but we missed out on all the clues that the D was part of 9/11 all along.
Fresh evidence of his nefarious construction appeared this evening, when we came upon the information that the D is getting married on April 14 of 2000....and 7.
Thats right. The D has created a time machine out of a circular saw and .... well, a circular saw. My gawd.
WE DIDN'T LISTEN!
Needless to say, the Sidekick and I are in a state of shock.

Live blogging the drunk...
Thus far it's the Sidekick and the Admir0l, but The D is on the way!
Funny topics thus far:
Veal
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
C. Thomas Howell's death in 'Red Dawn'
The Admir0ls' journey to the Cape of Good Hope (actually it should have been the Strait of Magellan)
More to follow...
Vlad Putin and 'Stop Snitching'
People who hate us (generally these are confined to Pete, or the spooses of people's weddings that we've ruined)
Western states the Admir0l could run
The 'D' is here!
So, apparently The 'D' can go back in time!
And, he has a tremendous amount of wood (it's not as naughty as it sounds)!
Grrrrr...trying to add counter to the blog makes the Sidekick angry!!!!!

So all of you know, I can suspend belief.
I don't even need to count the ways.
But whoever thought that people would believe Courtney Thorne Smith would ever marry Jim Belushi is just asking too much.
The only addendum I'm willing to add on this is the real life marriage of Shannon Elizabeth and the world's luckiest Ron Jeremy impersonator. Yes, it DID happen.
But that doesn't mean that an angel didn't die to make it happen.

This is just so ass-tastic they must be true.

"The defendants allegedly spoke of attacking a Navy installation in Philadelphia during the annual Army-Navy football game, when the stadium would be full of sailors, and conducted surveillance at other military installations in the region."
Ummm.... maybe our fall pilgrimage should be to a less target worthy event?
Hey, this looks interesting!

Thoughts on the Fourth
Now that Cinco de Mayo is out of the way, we move onto the next holiday.
Okay, so the dream weekend would be to rent a boat or a pair of jet skis, head up to Falls Lake and go skiing + eating.
Don’t be shocked, but this would be the one occasion where I would prefer no drinking, at least for those going on the H20.
Bad thing – it might be ‘busy’, with lots of other folks getting their thang on.
Good thing – only about an hour drive at the most, not much cost involved.
Next on the list would be heading up to Grandfather Mountain, getting a big cabin
This would be the very laid back option, mainly hanging out, having a very big dinner, playing board games
Only bad thing – 3 hour drive. Moderate cost, including pet sitters.
NEXT….
The beach. Except for the beach itself, quite an enjoyable time can be had.
A veritable plethora of options, where those of us who only want to drink can drink, those who prefer gritty sand can do whatever.
Same issues as the mountains – drive & pet sitters.
The baddest thing --- this would have to be a quick decision to find a non-shithole, and we would need to get to work on it now.
Finally….
Drinking at Greguar’s and sitting in the hot tub.
Thoughts? Opinions?

Deep thought for the day.
So I jump ship in Hong Kong and make my way over to Tibet, and I get on as a looper at a course over in the Himalayas. A looper, you know, a caddy, a looper, a jock. So, I tell them I'm a pro jock, and who do you think they give me? The Dalai Lama, himself. Twelfth son of the Lama. The flowing robes, the grace, bald... striking. So, I'm on the first tee with him. I give him the driver. He hauls off and whacks one - big hitter, the Lama - long, into a ten-thousand foot crevasse, right at the base of this glacier. Do you know what the Lama says? Gunga galunga... gunga, gunga-galunga. So we finish the eighteenth and he's gonna stiff me. And I say, "Hey, Lama, hey, how about a little something, you know, for the effort, you know." And he says, "Oh, uh, there won't be any money, but when you die, on your deathbed, you will receive total consciousness." So I got that goin' for me, which is nice.

Thoughts on Cinco de Mayo
I'm actually sort of glad we did the whole bonfire before the main clump of guests had arrived, because some of them may have been unfamiliar with our past, exemplary history of dealing with fire and whatnot, and might have thought we had created a "situation".
All in all, a very fun two day extravaganza.

Live blogging the non-HD fight.
Psych. What I really wanted to blog about was my unspoken love of "The Punisher", staring Kevin Nash.
So by never seeing the beginning of the movie, I was always confused as to where exactly Thomas Jane actually scored all these guns, bombs, bows, knives, sharp stickes...
Otherwise, I do enjoy the flick enough that when it is in rotation of FX, I do my best to record at least one showing.
Fight one - BS knockdown, but otherwise a good fight.

HFS. I just checked the turkey.
This fall, when we're tail gating and eating beer, brats & bird, someone is gonna get sentimental, looking back and say "You know, learning to smoke a turkey was a good idea."
First taste in 3.5 hours.

Live blogging the Margaritas
Okay, so there will be two varieties @ the Shindig.
The magnificent fountain will contain a mixture that is approximately:
1 part OR LESS Margarita mix
1 part OJ (no pulp)
2/3 part Tequila and Triple Sec
Then will will have a veritable plethora of frozen margaritas, with Strawberry being the overwhelming champion, by a friggin mile.
1 day left!

Much like NFL rookies...
The Sidekick & I will be "experimenting" with Margarita recipes tomorrow.
We might get some ink. You never know.
We might hit the bag. Its all up in the air.
Except the hooch, which will be in the blender.
Sidekick addendum - And then in our belly!

I know we're not a sports blog....
I can probably count the number of times where, while cooking breakfast with Sports Center on, I have paused the report so that I can actually watch what happened while I eat.
Warriors vs. Mavericks. I watched the 1st half (part of Insomni-con 2007)
Game 5.
WOW!!!!
What a finish.

Insomnia F-ing sucks.
So last night, the last time I checked the clock (whilst reading Les Miserables), it was 12:48. I then listened to all of Mental Jewelery and Throwing Copper. Somewhere after that, I got some fitful sleep, prior to Big Dave kneading on me around 4:30 or 5 AM for his favorite game of "Wakey! Wakey! Eggs and Bakey!"
Needless to say, I am very tired, but I feel like I must push through.
So no beer for the workout = No workout.

HFS!! Corporate World Part Deux
My only wish would be that at least I get canned after work.
Driving into work and then getting fired, especially after lunch - SUCKS.
So they canned another guy at 8.
Wish me luck to make it through the day.

HFS!!! Welcome to the corporate world, beeches.
So I get in today, and my Black Yoda has been fired!
That's right, HANSEN!!!
HFS!
There was a round of layoffs yesterday in two other groups, but it looked like we had been spared the hatchet until 3 PM, when one of the dudes in our group who works from Tampa posted a note in our team IM room that he had been let go.
My only guess there was the Man was consolidating, and Tampa had to go.
But I get in this morning and BLAM, my buddies not sitting there as usual, and the grapevine is the Man called him at home with the news.
HFS!

I know we're not a sports blog....
Why does the NBA even pretend to have a traveling/walk rule?
It's a bigger joke than the Aristocrats.

Would have been useful for the Rear and Uar
Just found this information after having this for almost 8 years. Would have saved much hand and wrist pain. The instructions are as follows.
Covers completely removed in sub-freezing temperatures will be difficult to resecure.
When fastening the cover to frame in cooler conditions snap front first (closest to cab), tailgate second, and then the sides! (Ohhhhh!)
(This next part is for both the Rear and Sidekick as this was one of the few parts they missed)
To avoid difficulty with fasteners, apply Petroleum Jelly type lubricant to the inside of the snap buttons. (Seriously of all the places where it was needed you forgot that!)
