Thoughts on "Last Samurai"
So lets say a Big Time Japanese Star (BTJS) came over to the US, and made a movie about how noble and honorable the Southerners of 1864 were, and that slavery wasn't REALLY all that bad.
The BTJS and his Southern compatriots would talk about how change is happening too fast, and that if only the other side could see, the slaves are actually incapable of taking care of themselves.
In fact, the BTJS decides to HELP - actually fight & die to defend slavery.
That's how I feel every time that movie is on FX.
Its no Alien vs. Predator or ESPN Who's Now, but its moving up the charts.

Severely burned Glasgow Airport attack suspect Kafeel Ahmed is being kept alive on the orders of MI5, senior police sources have told Scotland on Sunday. Ahmed has third degree burns to 90% of his body and virtually no chance of surviving but insiders claim the security services are keeping him alive to avoid a backlash from radical Muslims.

Ummm.... what kind of "backlash" do they fear?
Someone might drive a bomb laden truck into an airport ?
Fucking idiots.

I dont make millions of dollars, but the list of things I do every month PRIOR to paying for prosaic things like "eating" includes:
Pay Disability Insurance.
Pay Health Insurance.
Pay Auto Insurance.
Pay Home Owner's Insurance.
There is a common thread tying the items on this list together.

Ok, so granted its like 3:38 AM
So I went to a shin dig with some neighbors
Starting drinking @ 6PM
(Flight of the Chonchords is Fucking Hilarious)
So... Here is the funny shit.
One of the 'ladies' in the neighborhood, and I use the term asexually, cause she is, in her own words, VERY happily married, well, at the shin dig, she made a commentary to my neighbor that, quote, "The Hudson has gotten GIGANTIC!" and when she asked me to flex, it was one of those classic, straight out of a movie swoons.
So she is immediately telling her husband to join us for the 300 on Tuesday.
And....
She's not the only one who made commentary.
It was quite nice.
I believe the Sidekick gets mad props for his incisive vision that my neighbor was trying to set me up with basically ANYTHING that moved.
More to follow if I ever sober up.

HFS. Wow. I got absolutely nothing.
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - Army medical examiners were suspicious about the close proximity of the three bullet holes in Pat Tillman's forehead and tried without success to get authorities to investigate whether the former NFL player's death amounted to a crime, according to documents obtained by The Associated Press.
"The medical evidence did not match up with the, with the scenario as described," a doctor who examined Tillman's body after he was killed on the battlefield in Afghanistan in 2004 told investigators.
The doctors - whose names were blacked out - said that the bullet holes were so close together that it appeared the Army Ranger was cut down by an M-16 fired from a mere 10 yards or so away.
Ultimately, the Pentagon did conduct a criminal investigation, and asked Tillman's comrades whether he was disliked by his men and whether they had any reason to believe he was deliberately killed. The Pentagon eventually ruled that Tillman's death at the hands of his comrades was a friendly-fire accident.

I send my apologies to the Sidekick for this already.

According the the above site, the have crunched the numbers for calories burned during various sexual positions and acts. Like for instance insertion:
The Act of Insertion
If the man is ready (same vice-versa) 1/4 calories
If the woman is not (same vice-versa) 274 calories
Notice if the woman is ready you only burn a quarter of a calorie but if she is not ready then you can burn up to 274 calories.
They also have data on amount of calories burned for men based on penis size, although I do not think that they took girth into consideration.
They were nice enough to calculate calories burned for an orgasm.
Orgasm
Real 27 calories
Faked 160 calories
If anyone knows of a reliable and easy to use calories burned calculator website please share.

Bare Knuckle Brawler
This is not a MMA guy. Just straight punching and pushing. I have YouTubed a few of his fights. It looks like most of them are in parking lots, garages, and back yards.
This fight only lasts about 1 minute and then there is 45 seconds of a 250 lb man trying his best not to fight. Check out his opponent's face after the fight. Very much the consistancy of hamburger.
Fighter's name: Kimbo Slice
Thrity second knockout fight
I think that this guys tries to call a time out or something. Kimbo must not hear him call a time out. Kimbo is a devout follower of the chill bruh rule. If you want to quit just say chill bruh.
He has a fight coming up with Merciless Mercer

Question about Oceans 11.
So George C. & Matt Damon zip line down into the vault w. the little Chinese guy.
Brad Pitt makes the call to Andy Garcia.
Elevator comes up with bags of "cash" that Andy's minions put into the back of a van.
Van goes to aeropuerto, blows up.
Turns out the bags are full of hooker ads.
WHERE did they come from? How did George & Matt get 6 bags of hooker ads down the shaft?
Anyone? Anyone?
Sidekick, maybe ask your boys on DVD Talk?

So Luke & Tzom & I go down to Miami subs for some grub.
Funny Miami Subs stories - they (L&T) made me laugh so hard once I shat myself and had to leave my drawers in the bathroom trashcan.
Another time, we saw Mr. Wendal from Arrested Development - we were like "MR. WENDAL!" and he just said "Peace." Beautiful
So L&T&I are done eating and decide, wouldn't it be cool if I truck surfed all the way back to the dorm. And Tzom is like, well, anyone can truck surf on the road - its flat.
Real men truck surf OFF ROAD!
So he hops his truck over the curb into this big empty field.
Oh, and its like 11:30 at night.
Luke's recollection was that as he saw the guide wire for the telephone pole approaching, he thought "The next several minutes should be quite interesting."
From a 3rd person omniscient POV, what we didn't know is that someone had just robbed the grocery store on Western, and that there were cops EVERYWHERE.
Well, Tzom's truck is now cradled by a wire stuck under his now flat front tire, and the back end is just BARELY on the ground, supported by a tangential amount of rear tire touching Mother Gaia.
Cop pulls up IMMEDIATELY. "What you boys doing?"
I pipe in "I was out running earlier today, left my water bottle and we were coming to find it."
"Ok, let me call a tow truck."
HFS -- looking back, I feel bad that Luke & I high tailed it out of there, leaving Tzom to deal with the wrecker and his flat tire.
Sorry dude.

Long day - road trip w. T Bone down to see me Ma.
Good times had by all
So the whole discussion of aggressive gardening & the felon harassers got me thinking about me and T Bone and our run inS w. John Law.
We had stolen the letters for Jurassic Park & Cliffhanger from the giant signpost for Mission Valley cinemas, and cached them in a ruck sack, awaiting later pick up.
We ran like sum beeches back to Sully, hopped in the Woody, and immediately noticed we were being tailed by what we were pretty sure was the Po Po.
So began some aggresive driving, attempting to lose our tail. Four wheeling. U turns on Western. I mean like fucking nutty shit you see on Knight Rider, only in a '79 Wagoneer. That didnt speak.
So after picking up the bag, we were heading back to the dorm, noticed the tail again, and ended up getting lost out towards the Atrium, after going UNDER 440 and coming to a dead end.
Sure enough, a fucking cop lights us up, we're freaking out, he asks us why were driving erratically, and I'm screaming "Because you were following us!!! I thought you were Jamaican Mafia!" .
(Without hyperbole - I actually said Jamaican mafia)
He asks where we are going , and T Bone and I are both like "IHOP!". He thanked us and sent us on our way.
Good times.
Next up - Truck Surfing.

So we're at a meeting yesterday
and the fact that ALL of AT&T's VoIP traffic goes through one pipe in & out of a Philadelphia center came up.
Now, the presenter may have been joshing to try and fit in, telling about the gubmint buying all these high end packet sniffers, and making allusions to his fear of "The Man", but one other guy was sort of indignant and whatever.
Bah.
So I turned to Gee and was like "Ummm... is it wrong for me to think this is a good thing?"
And Gee says "Yes."
I'm just guessing that this is one topic I shouldn't bring up with Gee's librarians or Yellow Ben's Carolina Girls.

There's a good chance...
that I will be up all night watching the WSOP final table (even without the hole card cam).
I actually think that I find a broadcast like this much more interesting (where I can see every hand played, even the inconsequential ones), as I can posit what the various players have based on their actions in the hand I'm watching, along with wsing their actions in some of the previous hands. Also, the commentators in this case don't have access to hole card cameras so you get to hear their opinions on what the players may be holding and you get to hear some very interesting discussions between tournament professionals (Hellmuth, in particular, can be very insightful when he's not being a self promoting jackass).
N.B. - based on current chip counts/blind levels/number of players left, I think there is a very good chance that this table may go until 7 or 8 in the morning PST.

There and back again: A Hudson's Tale
During a summer rain shower, there's a few places you dont want to be:
A) North Carolina.
and
B) Running.
So for the Hill Workout, I generally play a couple of games:
Mulligan - at the inflection point of every hill, turn around, go back, do it again.
Stop & Drop - at the bottom of every hill, 10 push ups.
Hell Hill - choose the meanest hill on the course, run it several times.
Today was Hell Hill on St. Albans, heading towards Six Forks.
It twas during #3 that the rain hit. Talk about completely fucking things up.
Oh well. I think there's one run every year when the humidity is murderous.

Gentlemen the UFC is pushing all in with UFC 75 on 9/8/07. It's UFC Champion Light Heavyweight Champion Quinton "Rampage" Jackson against Pride Fighting Light Heavyweight champion Dan Henderson! I'm more excited about this than Jackson and Liddell. Now this would be good enough, but here is the clincher. It's not on PPV, its on Spike!
They are really going for it. I predict this will get approximately 7 million viewers. That would be an unbelievable number for cable.

Fights Last Saturday
I forgot. There were three fights last Saturday night, that were action packed and ran the gammit.
The first was a 2nd Round demolishion of Walter Matthysee, by Kermit Cintron. The knockout was almost as good as the Ding-a-ling man's.
The second was an aging Arturo Gatti getting pummeled horrifically. It was scary and sad all at the same time. A once great fighter to watch at 140 can hang at 147, but can't make weight at 140, so his career is done.
The last fight of the night was Paul Williams 32-0 getting a unanimous decision against Antonio Margarito in a 12 round fight. Williams thrw over 1200 punches in the fight! Beautiful display on both sides of skill and really what makes boxing fun to watch.
I stupidly deleted the fight, but maybe The Sidekick DVR magically recorded it. IT would be worth watching again, and I bet is on OnDemand anyway.

The line that hooked me in. **In a Kiwi accent** I've been skimming off the top and doing some investments for the band. I've done the research and decided that real-estate is the way to go. So now we are the proud owners of three new properties...... "Intergalatic Properties". I've purchased three stars for the band. Think of how much these will go up in value and the natural resources available.
Now, that is what I call thinking outside of the box, out of the galaxy actually!

Durham Bulls - DBAP
Thanks to the Rear! What good fun! Wonderful stadium! We definitely want to go back. The action continues to flow! Every seat is a great seat! Good food selection (Constant funnel cake aroma!). Easy in/out of the stadium. Seriously, $8 for a lower level box seat inside the bases! That is spectacular! Also my boy Chris Richard is on the Bulls. He is one of my favorite Orioles from the last 10 years, so I even have a rooting interest. And probably the most fun thing for me is acting as close as I ever will to the Rear's missing that "Thing".
Highlights of the game:
1.) Beth Shalom Men's Club sighting - Holla!
2.) Top of the 6th ejections, hit batsmen, and big brouhaha.
3.) 8th inning ice spitting for distance contest between the Wife and I.
4.) Bulls Win, Bulls Win!

8 the hard way: Shelly Lake, around & back.
So next time, I'm thinking of just setting up a treadmill on 15 degrees incline inside of a sauna to save myself the need to walk home if I die @ mile 7.

Tzom called -- he's in Hotlanta @ a Braves game.
The Sidekick is at some random aeropuerta and ran into P Diddy!!!
Otherwise, if anyone feels like doing anything @ 8 AM tomorrow morning, I'm up for it!
Let me just mention -- working nights for me is like survival training.
I tend to go overboard on food - I have Hot Pockets, burritos, cookies and like four 2 Liters of Diet Pepsi.
Hour 1 update -- 2 Hotpockets, 2 cookes and 1/2 a 2 Liter ( or a 1 liter, depending on your preferences). 5 tkts worked, which is my normal average.
Ipod updates -- I think its my top 25 plus a block of "S" songs.
Little CCR, little LFR, CS&N, DMB - wow 4 in a row. No can do.
David Wilcox, which pretty much as a guy doing LFR.
Ohhh, Dayna Manning. <3 the Canadian song bird.
Hour 2 update -- no more food eaten. Slowed down on the soda. 7 tkts worked.
Ipod updates -- You know what Stuart? I like you.
Wow. This is like a lesbian black hole - Ani, Paula Cole & Tori Amos on 1 song.
Little bit o' Dougie Fresh, The Show.
Ahhh, Gee's favorite - punk cover of Sweet Child O' Mine.
You know what ? Saturday night's all right for fightin'.
Caught in a trap. I cant walk out. Because I love you too much baby!
Guilty pleasure: Call me when you're sober. I know, but remember, I have pedestrian musical taste.
Santa Monica.
Couple of Everlast tunes.
Oh, Fiona Apple. She just seems dirty. Not Shirley Manson dirty.
Landslide. Obviously, a top 25.

The night is now complete - a little George Michael.
Blast for the past - Gilette, Short Dick Man.
Gord's Gold, beeches -- Sundown.
Some solo Graham Parsons
Hour 4 update 6 tkts worked - on the phone w. a repititous jackass. One 2 liter gone, 2 burritos and a couple of cookies.
Ipod updates Straight On w. Seattle's original sound (post Hendrix)
How many angels? 7. What nationality were they? Spanish.

Hour 6 update Not sure how many tkts, but much like Bon Jovi, I'm halfway there. Not really sure if the Ipod is gonna make it.
***SITE ADMIN NOTE ***
Updates will probably not continue at the rapid pace. I am mui tired, fuzzy headed, and having enough trouble concentrating on work.
Farewell loyal readers.
Hour 7 update Nothing new to report. Water is glass smooth, new moon, no icebergs spotted.

As I told the Sidekick, quite an enjoyable read, but when Ragnar Danneskjöld and Hank Rearden are having a discussion, Ragnar explains he is out to destroy the idea of Robin Hood, taking from the rich and giving to the poor.
All I could think of was that cool fox Robin Hood in the Disney cartoon, and I was like "Why does Ragnar hate the fox!!!"

So would vampires be migratory?
Now, granted there isn't much in the way of human cattle in the Arctic/Antarctic Circle area, but wouldn't it be in a Nosferatu's best interest to exchange time out hunting even a scarce food source Vs. laying in a cubby hole 50% of the time.
Also, if a vampire gets bitten by a mosquito, does that bug now become a Child of the Night?
BTW, "I am Legend" with Will Smith comes out this winter. I THINK its more of the Omega Man than a by the book adaptation.

By request...
the Sidekick's guide to bittorrent.
1) Get yourself a bittorrent client and install it(I personally use ABC - Another Bittorrent Client). Some have fancy add ons like RSS support, but I like a small memory footprint and ease of use.
2) Find yourself a torrent site.
3) Download the torrent file. Note: you really haven't downloaded anything yet, so don't get too excited.
4) Open the torrent file. Tell the program where you would like to store your soon to be downloaded file (with most programs, you can also designate a 'always save to location).
5) Let the client connect to other users who are holding on to the file, and wait until completed (note: you will not be able to run/watch/listen to the file until the entire thing is completed).
A few other notes:
6) You may want to enable port forwarding on your router for ports 6881-6889 (both UDP and TCP) to get a faster pull on the download.
7) When looking for a file to download, make sure to check out the number of 'seeds' and 'leeches' each torrent has. A seed is a user that has the complete file already on their hard drive, and a leech is someone that only has part of the file up to that point (which parts are unknown since torrents are not downloaded sequentially). If a torrent has many more leeches than seeders, it may mean that it will be difficult to get the entire file in a timely fashion.
8) Look at the health of a file. Bittorrent seeds dry up relatively quickly, and so you may find that copy of 'Legend of the Overfiend', but if there is only one guy uploading, that's going to take a very, very long time (and if that cat is only a leech, you won't get the whole thing and won't be able to watch it).
9) Once you have finished downloading your torrent; keep you client open and share the data! Torrents depend on users uploading as much as downloading; a general rule of thumb is to have a 1 to 1 upload to download ratio (I generally shoot for 2 to 1, but I'm a really great guy).
10) I think that's pretty much it; have fun, stay safe, and enjoy your linux iso's (which is I'm sure why you wanted this info in the first place).

Greguar: No that's the car in Knight Rider.
Boy: Oh I saw that on Mythbusters! I know the guy that drove that!
Greguar: Really, what's his name?
Boy: (Deadpan Face) "The Hoff"
Oh out of the mouths of babes.

Iranian Police Smarsh Squirrel Spy Ring
Police in Iran are reported to have taken 14 squirrels into custody - because they are suspected of spying.
The rodents were found near the Iranian border allegedly equipped with eavesdropping devices.
The reports have come from the official Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA).
When asked about the confiscation of the spy squirrels, the national police chief said: "I have heard about it, but I do not have precise information."
The IRNA said that the squirrels were kitted out by foreign intelligence services - but they were captured two weeks ago by police officers.
***SITE ADMIN NOTE***
Apparently, footage of the well trained squad of squirrel-ish Bonds has been found!

Alrighty, we're giving him one last shot at the blog...
and then Luke is dead to us.
His only caveat to joining our merry band of malcontents is that he would like someone to provide instructions on how to use bit torrent.
So, funny thing - he checked his NCSU email account, and still had the invitation to the Dam Formal. Well, now that Peotr is living out there, I'm sure that, much like the Party like you're 19 party, we can recreate that magic moment.

No one I know is more earnest in their desire to disprove his muscularity, evidenced by sweat drippin' down all ova his Chest-a, his notable prowess with the ladies, and his sportatorial skillz in order to go to Dragon Con w. the Sidekick & myself and to be able to fit in as a knowledgeable geek.
Not a techno geek, cause in this day and age, you gotta have some skillz on the Darpa Net to survive.
I'm talkin', we are gonna have a 16 week basic geek training w. the 'Uar, running him through some of the dirtiest, nastiest nerd offal ever created.
He is gonna have to master shit like the Mutant Massacre, the Silmarillion, the 2nd Foundation, Dark Empire graphic novels, and the Keep on the Borderlands.
He's gonna need to be a 23rd level Bard to Legend Lore some what we are gonna drop on him.
This beast we are gonna create is gonna devastate the crowds at D.C. '07.

Giant 'corpse-eating' badgers terrorise Iraqi city
THE Iraqi port city of Basra, already prey to a nasty turf war between rival militia factions, has now been gripped by a scary rumour – giant badgers are stalking the streets by night, eating humans.
It's started.
First, they gave the badgers thumbs and I said nothing...

One of George Bush's badger training lackeys had the following to say:
UK military spokesman Major Mike Shearer said: "We can categorically state that we have not released man-eating badgers into the area."

People with moles age more slowly than others
People who seem to stay younger for longer are also likely to have more moles, research released yesterday suggests. A study of twins found a striking correlation between high numbers of moles and a biological marker for slow ageing. As a result, people with a lot of moles might be expected to live longer than those who have very few, despite facing a greater risk of skin cancer.
Now, I have no idea how yard vermin cause skin cancer, but if it means living longer, fuck it.

FEDOR!!!!!
The 'Pride Fighting' on this week is a tribute to Fedor Emelianenko; for those of you who don't know, he is just the baddest MF on the planet. I think that I have found what we are doing for the TND (that's Thursday Night Drunk for the abbreviationly challenged).
Note: in this clip, Fedor gets slammed on his mutherfucking head and should probably be dead; instead he submits the guy 30 seconds later. Awesome!

Umm... The Chinese do not fuck around. At all. Ever.
China on Tuesday executed the former head of its food and drug watchdog who had become a symbol of the country’s wide-ranging problems on product safety. Zheng Xiaoyu’s execution was confirmed by State Food and Drug Administration spokeswoman Yan Jianyang at a news conference held to highlight efforts to improve China’s track record on food and drug safety.

Drinking = Right out.
So I have to work the next 12 days, including two 13 hour shifts Saturday & Sunday.
Now, of course, I am a gullible train wreck, so if some comely waitress were to ask me to go drinking with her, I would be foolish to turn such an offer down.
So any night this week you guys want to sit around at a bar while I don't drink with a spritely lass, let me know.
Oh, and Thursday, of course is the Thursday drunk.
Can't F with the Sidekick's schedule -- he's like Rain Man w. Judge Wapner when it comes to drinkin'.

Deep thought for the day, RE - shopping
After reading Clan of the Cave Bear, I think the shopping thing is because women think of it as gathering things for survival, replacing berries & nuts w. shirts & slacks, and men think of it as "the longer I'm outside, the higher the chances something will kill and eat me"

Rewriting country albums
My first spin off will be a trailer trash version of the new Brad Paisley classic involving Ticks. This one would be "I'd like to check you for crabs."
It'll take me some time to work of the verses. I'll accept any nominations for consideration.

But his goal is for me to hook up w. a librarian chick @ Trivia.
Ummm..... LINK
Money graf:
Michelle Campbell, 26, a librarian in Washington, said that librarianship is a haven for left-wing social engagement , which is particularly appealing to the young librarians she knows. “Especially those of us who graduated around the same time as the Patriot Act,” Ms. Campbell said. “We see what happens when information is restricted.”
Didn't I just spend 9 years dealing with things like that ???

I absolutely love articles like this.
LINK
Best line from entire article:
Studies demonstrate unequivocally that men are far more interested in short-term casual sex than women. In one now-classic study, 75 percent of undergraduate men approached by an attractive female stranger agreed to have sex with her; none of the women approached by an attractive male stranger did. Many men who would not date the stranger nonetheless agreed to have sex with her.

Gee is pretty sure I'm on the slope.....
to being a Man Whore.
Apparently, no piece of ass is too off limits now for me not to flirt with.
We went to Moe's for lunch, and were discussing how Spring & Summer just make the ladies shine.
6s become 7s.
7s become 8s.
etc....
Then, in walks a very pretty young lady.
So I just had to compliment her on making my day worth living.
According to Gee, soon I'll be making out in parking lots.
We can only hope.
*** SITE ADMIN NOTE ***
According to Gee, not only does summer make a 7 an 8, but apparently makes a 13 a 21. I vehemently disagree, but hey, chalk it up as a learning experience.

So, let's assume...
that the Turkish get up doesn't give you problems. Let's also assume that the bottoms up doesn't give you trouble. How to make the two exercises worthwhile? COMBINE THEM!

Return of the Drunk!
Not just for me posting, but specifically when we want to get our drink/poker on. Originally the day for the drunk was on Thursdays for reasons that are lost to history, but now 'Il Tino' has suggested that we move the drunk to Wednesdays for reasons related to 'footie'. Any objections? Any reason to have it Tuesdays or Thursdays? Any other day work for folks (honestly, since everyday is Saturday for me, any day works)?
Please post your thoughts in the comments and I will throw out an invite via the email on Monday or Tuesday evening.

The Admir0l = Stood Up
So the Sidekick showed up. As expected.
The Goalie Punisher showed up. As expected.
Who didn't show up?
Guns.
Heartbreaking for all of us.
The only good thing is that if you don't have self esteem, you cant be embarrassed.

Thoughts on Risk vs. Danger
So our (nearly endless) discussion on fireworks, bullets & retards got me thinking about the difference between risk and danger.
Obviously, wrt to fire especially, I have a bit more experience dealing with flammable liquids, fireworks, and except for Melinda, probably w. guns than the rest of our motley crue.
So its not that I'm oblivious to the hazards, I think its that I'm aware of the end result, having seen everything from Xmas trees to retards on fire, and I've grown accustomed to setting up a minimal safe distance.
I think it's THAT which freaks people out, since their MSD, mainly through lack of familiarity, is MUCH further back than mine.
Now, except for Tzom, I don't think anyone has ever been around me while handling firearms.
Those, I don't dick around w. at all, especially since the MSD even w. a .22 is a half mile.

Another busy day @ work
kh4796 Ext 0603(09:56:44): So , looking back, was Gummi-berry juice just some plot by the CIA to keep ogres down ? Obviously, their erratic behavior and single minded determination to get a hit speaks volumes of the addictive qualities of GBJ.
Gee(10:01:05): the real question is was it only addictive to ogres?
kh4796 Ext 0603(10:01:45): well, the gummi bears still had teeth, so it doesnt have meth-like properties wrt the gummis
Gee(10:02:15): right. but what i'm saying is that it didn't seem to be addictive to the bears
kh4796 Ext 0603(10:02:45): everywhere they go, they take a bottle with them.
kh4796 Ext 0603(10:02:59): It aint toothpaste
kh4796 Ext 0603(10:09:03): ahhh...now I see why we invaded Iraq -- not WMD, but GBJ....according to Wikipedia, It also serves as fuel for various Gummi devices, especially flying machines.

I have and alibi ! I swear, it wasn't me!
A cash reward of up to $5,000 is being offered if you help police catch the suspects who stole more than $5 million worth of prescription medications. The pills were in stolen from the trailer part of a commercial truck. Thieves got away with a generic form of the painkiller vicodin with a street value of up to $80 million.

I had no idea we were gonna tie one on last night.
HFS.
Now, granted, we did get to flirt with our waitress, Guns, the most knowledgeable beer wench EVAH! but damn, I thought we had given up on this kind of debauchery.
Now, I'm not sure if it counts as a date, but we're going to drink Irish Car Bombs with the her on Thursday after she gets off work

The Russian Squat Assault Challenge
So since I had never done squats regularly, I decided 135 # was a reasonable amount as my "max". Also, thats all the weight I have. Following Pavel's advice, I am on week 2 of my squat-athon.
Week 1 (last week)
Monday 70% of max (95#), 9 sets of 4 -- this got messed up because I did the first 5 w. 135#. How did I realize this ? I am doing Clean & Presses of the squat weight to get it to my shoulders. Like Henry Rollins said "Iron don't lie."
Then, a ladder, 5 sets of 1, 2, 3 clean & presses, each arm w. the Ghettelbell.
Then run a 5 K.
Thursday
75% of max (~100), 7 sets of 5. Ladder of C&P. Run a 5K
Monday (Today)
80% (~110), 5 sets of 7. Now, remember, I'm doing a C&P to get the weight onto my shoulders. That comes into play when I petered out trying to do my Ghettlebell ladder. I made it through 4 sets, but was delirious and THOUGHT I had to do 6, so I said fuck it. Then I ran a 5K.
Oh, and I was doing 10 Roman Chair sit ups between each set of squats & C&P.
Thorsday should be 85%, 3 sets of 10. Then, off to the pool for some drinkin'.

Best 10K, possibly ever
So I have no doubt at this point that all the exercising I've been doing has paid off handsomely.
Most of you have driven Millbrook from Falls to Shelly Lake.
Some of you have run it or biked it.
Normally, it's a challenging run.
But my new motto is, the bigger the challenge, the greater the accomplishment.
I have probably had many a run where everything clicked, no minor irritations from chafing, had plenty of H20, no blisters, no knee soreness, etc...
But in terms of pounding out the hills, I was honestly stunned by what a bad ass I was.
Great feeling.
Only down side, I didn't see runner girl. (Sad faced emoticon)
