Is it Spring already ????
If so, I have NO problems with this new fangled global warming.
Planted a bunch of daffodils & tulips several weeks ago and they are just now popping their heads up -- I'm not sure if that's early or not.

There are 2 people on the planet that...
I trust without question. One is my dad, the other is the Admir0l. When he told me today that we should cut into my sheet rock, hang some kind of dessicating mutherfucking bullshit and just walk away, you know what I said?
'Damn right, bitches'
Not to get all cunty, but this is why you have friends.

Abbott: The economy's a wreck. People have a lot less money now then they did three months ago.
Costello: No problem. The federal government's going to spend $1 trillion to put more money in our pockets.
Abbott: But the government doesn't have any money either. The federal deficit's already around $1 trillion. And the federal debt's around $11 trillion.
Costello: No problem. The government will use tax money.
Abbott: But that's our money in the first place. And we don't have any more money.
Costello: No problem. Then the government will just borrow the money.
Abbott: But the people who usually loan the money don't have any more money either.
Costello: No problem. The government will just print all the money we need.
Abbott: But that will make the money worthless.
Costello: Yeah, but at least people will have money in their pockets.
Abbott: But they won't be able to buy anything with it.
Costello: No problem. We'll just blame it on Bush.
Abbott: Sounds like a plan.

Not quite ready for the Spring 300.
Did 50 dips, pull ups, swings, box jumps & gada swings.
Started @ 9:40.
Finished @ 1:50.
And 2 minutes on the bag.
Tomorrow is PROBABLY push ups, rows, dead lifts.
MIGHT need to take a trip to Dicks. Looking for either rings or just the handles for seated rows -- going to make some ghetto olympic rings.
***SAN***
Wow.
Waiting on batteries to charge, I'll post some pick of the "Ghetto Rings"
HFS. Once again, I think there are tons of muscles that just NEVER get used.
I found a few of them.

What I'm Doing...
New game I invented with my niece.
"Tard punch" -- if someone says something so inconceivably stupid that only a 'tard would verbalize it, you punch them.
IF they get hurt -- not a 'tard, cause with their Super 'Tard Strength, they dont feel pain.
This, I explained to my niece, was called a "Catch-22".

midnight wrapping
SO we blasted a Mr. Hankey's Christmas and assembled(?) gifts for the boy.
1) one of the innertubes on the skuut (look it up) was mismounted and either had a pinhole leak OR suffered one when I remounted the damn thing. With the hub being wood rather than spokes and metal, I doubt this will be a major setback to morning shenanigans in the small living room.
I did make four runs to the shed in the rain searching for patch kits, old tubes or something that could substitute for either. . .
2) one of the mounts on the combo kid kitchen stand - essentially scaffolding for toddlers. that doubles as a playhouse of sorts managed to snap as well. The manufacturer didn't account for the change in width caused by painting a plywood panel when routed or dadoed the slip on wooden mounts. As the clip was pressed onto the plywood edge an crisp SNAP was heard followed by a muffle 'WHAT THE Fbomb!'
Again, probably won't affect the morning shenanigans, but still pisses off the parent team. We probably should have had the whole bottle of chianti before starting. Then we could at least blame alcohol for some of this. . .

Spreading Holiday Cheer...... I think?
Old lady in a Little Rascal was having a problem traversing from carpet to concrete on the initial exit past the greeter out of Walmart. She was trying to propel herself with her one foot over the traverse. No luck.
Now my wife and I are behind her waiting patiently, hoping for her to be able to use that foot to get her over the proverbial and real hump. I wanted to be kind and help, but instead of approaching her and asking if she needed help, I looked around to see if anyone was assisting her (or looking), put my foot on the back of the little rascal and gave a push............ I guess I pushed a bit hard, because she raced across the traverse, and had to break before she whacked a cart. She seemed impressed with her apparent strength though, or possibly that big man upstairs gave her the strength to make it happen.
Was giving her a tap wrong? Does this count as performing an act of goodwill toward man?

LOL -- its Festivus MIRACLE!!!!
So I checked my email to see if I had done anything exorbitantly stupid tonight.
I apparently sent an email, I GUESS I meant to send it to the 'Uar, to some random contractor that offered me a random job.
Thanks alot, auto-fill.

mad props to the SK
just got the tech hook-up AGAIN from the SK. grandma will get to chillax with the bebe via webcam call! And there's proof that I did it right at least once!
more chicarones (pork cracklins on this bag) and high life to go around.
now can we mount one to the RA or HEP on fun nights at the establishment. And NOT for table 24, just for the overpaid, undersexed guys willing to pick fights when they can't pick women (my summative statement for experiences involving boys from Ft Bragg at that 3in1 bar near the beltline). . .

Three Drunk Guys in a Bar...
ooops, I meant "Festivus".
Since I'm not there, it's been decided that I should document the airing of grievances portion of the program for posterity. Here they are:
1) Babies
2) Inlaws
3) Holiday Travel
4) Long distance poon-tang (I believe that's the appropriate spelling)
5) A pan from taking it back
6) Insane spouses
6a) Ex wives
7) Easily bounceable situations
That's it, that's the list.

I don't normally rant about video gamey things on the blog
but the new FIFA has the ability to play 10v10 online (no GK's). And this mode is hot, hot sex. Wow. You pick a position and play it with others. If your team isn't filled out, the CPU takes over the other positions. It's fan fucking tastick. Why it took 6 years to develop something like this, I don't know. But this is going to revolutionize sports gaming.
Imagine playing only Tom Brady in an online video game with your buddy only being Randy Moss, and another friend being only Maroney. It's truly something that has the potential to be spectacular.

"Operation Badass" suffers a mild setback.
Much like golfing, I thought I was going to be a natural at weight lifting, and that a 300# bench was a good starting point.
135 -- pounded that shit right out. I've been dipping & military pressing, so obviously, that was all arms.
225 -- little bit of a roadblock on the way to 300. Two attempts, neither very successful.
Anyway -- heading back to the gym tomorrow for another shot.
Wish me luck.
isn't this like Nascar promoting gas conservation
Eating Phenom Takeru Kobayashi to Polish Off Leftover Holiday Fruitcake
Effort Highlights Major League Eating's Holiday Food Bank Giving Initiative
------------------------
Japanese eating legend Takeru Kobayashi will attempt to break the fruitcake-eating world record, seeking to consume all fruitcake leftover from the holidays as part of a charitable initiative by Major League Eating on behalf of the Food Bank For New York City. The attempt will take place at 11 am on Friday, December 26, 2008 at Gabriela's Restaurant on 688 Amsterdam Ave (btw 93rd and 94th Streets) in New York City.
MLE will help to raise awareness of the crisis faced by food banks across the nation in the current economic environment. With its members, clients and fans, MLE also will seek to raise funds for the Food Bank For New York City, the major provider of food to New Yorkers in need.
"Fruitcake is given, and re-given, during the holiday, but it is very rarely eaten," said MLE president Richard Shea. "We consider it a public service to rid the nation of fruitcake build-up and to make way for other food donations that will benefit the increasing number of hungry families in our nation."

Periodic Table of Awesomeness
I dont wanna toot my horn -- but I do believe Tbone, Luker & I did this YEARS ago, but ours was based on D. Hasselhoff.
Operation Badass, Stage 2 is a success.
HFS.
How much fun can you have on a rainy night ???
Lots.
I got cursed at by a bunch of soldiers cause one had boots and I was adamant in my NO.
AND...
Another dude had my back as I calmly explained ONCE to a concerned citizen that No meant NO, and then we both just stood there staring at the dude as he bitched.
Didn't say another word.
Kind of awesome.
Anyway -- good times! Some chick got naked on table 24 -- missed it.
But I do believe I saw an apple bottom.
Shorty got low low low low low low low.
Oh, and the count for "Hot Chicks with Douche Bags" .... currently 1.
Think of a drunken Yellow Ben with a taller, thinner, no glasses Yellow Ben's Wife.

Any interest in getting together on 12/23
to celebrate Festivus "the holiday for the rest of us". We could either get together at one of our houses or we could take it to a bar. I am suggesting Hi-5 so that Uar and Sidekick can get a feel for the area before they come to the club. Hi-5 does have great food and all the food is 5 dollars.
So my thought at 6pm-ish we start the "airing of grievances" at 7:00 we eat out Festivus meal. In my case cold beer and blackened Japanese wings and then at around 7:45ish we can start the "feats of strength", which apparently can be anything from but not limited too thumb wrestling to freestyle wrestling. The Festivus is not over until the head of the household is pinned.

Your Bonus: An Illiquid MBS and a Cheese of the Month Subscription
Well, I guess these Swiss bankers will get a lot of cheese this year.
Credit Suesse gives toxic MBS as bonuses
Gotta admit, this is a bonus I can stand behind...why can't the Americans do this?
Summary: No one will but toxic subprime mortgages from the bank and there's a ton on their books so, as a year end bonus, one Swiss bank is giving their executives the collection rights to American subprime mortgages. The book value is huge. The actual payments not so much. I think this is ideal. I would laugh if Jamie Dimon called me up to for last month's payment.

Union Rules.
A dedicated teamster union worker was attending a convention in Las Vegas and decided to check out the local brothels.
When he got to the first one, he asked the Madam, "Is this a union house?" "No," she replied, "I'm sorry it isn't." "Well, if I pay you $100, what cut do the girls get?" "The house gets $80 and the girls get $20," she answered.
Offended at such unfair dealings, the union man stomped off down the street in search of a more equitable, hopefully unionized shop. His search continued until finally he reached a brothel where the Madam responded,
"Why yes sir, this is a union house. We observe all union rules." The man asked, "And if I pay you $100, what cut do the girls get?" "The girls get $80 and the house gets $20." "That's more like it!" the union man said.
He handed the Madam $100, looked around the room, and pointed to a stunningly attractive blonde. "I'd like her," he said. "I'm sure you would, sir," said the Madam. Then she gestured to a 92-yearold woman in the corner, "but Ethel here has 67 years seniority and according to union rules, she's next."

So I'll admit the Zombie threat MIGHT be far fetched...
but an EMP burst that fries our electrical infrastructure, no so much.
I haven't started reading "The Road" yet, but I would assume that things would get very bad, very quickly.
I think we should just nuke Iran now and deal with the consequences of that, instead of reverting to wooden teeth and no antibiotics.

Latest, and bestus, slap bet EvAh.
So Mr. Martin doubted that the 'Uar, Sidekick and myself had purchased 100% cashmere sweaters from Wal-Mart for our overly gay pic.
WRONG.
Happy Slapsgiving.
WRONG.
Happy Slapsgiving.
payday freak show?
SO I'm sure payday at a nightclub is ballin' Try going to the wallmart near the RA's new job on a weekend evening. I tried to avoid such things in the past, but keep forgetting how bad it was the last time and still seem to have some shred of optimism regarding how it could be before I get there.
At some point driving half an hour south (with new gas prices) is worth not going 5 minutes northeast for housewares and children's games.
I wonder if they'll have bouncers soon. . .
Oh, students sweatin to the oldies that are their previous 8 tests pasted into one document with some items omitted and renumbered 1-67. . . I got tired of grading and moved over to the interweb. . .

Pay Attention Out There
Some deals on interest rates, etc. For example...Fixed rate 30 mortgages are no averaging 4.5%. That's low. Theoretically, it's to your advantage to refi if the interst rate is .5% points below what you've got.
I cant accurately describe this ....
so you just have to trust me -- LINK
Which has led me to this:
Chinese gold farmers.
Leading me to ask: WHAT IN THE EVER LIVING FUCK IS GOING ON THAT I'M DEFINITELY NOT MISSING OUT ON ???
Gold farming?
Second lives??? Aren't first ones complicated enough ???
However -- let me just say, next time we play D&D (the ORIGINAL 2nd life!) -- Dutch Hoorenbeek it is boys.

Story telling competition of sorts
SO I was thinking about something I could do over the break to use parts of the brain I don't get to use often - the creative side of things and one of my kids tried to tell me he had (had!?) a strange childhood. Two two-minute whiteyisms later and game set match, the kid shut the hell up.
While I'm fairly certain my dad is a standout in oddness, I'm betting there's a couple of excellent stories out there dying to be told that I'd like to hear. So I bring you my winter break break out project:
Tales with Our Fathers.
I'm asking the membership to think long and deep about the wildest true tale involving you and your father or prominent male with that generational relationship and type it up. Post it here or email it to me and I'll format them into one document, alter all the names to protect the innocent and submit them to a blind audience for ratings.
Some typical examples: One night I broadsided a deer on a deep county road in Chatham. My dad comes and we recover the truck from where I lost it into the roadside ditch. Then he goes back for the deer. At 2am I'm working a flashlight and pulley system to hoist the deer so we can gut it and clean the left side of the deer. The right side is unusable as it has many pieces of chevy grill and bumper cover embedded in it.
30-06, no. .223? no. 12-gauge, no. I'm deadly with an S-10, however.
Or the RA may remember the "maggots swarm in winter event". . .

Device to Block Cell Signals
Anyone aware of where a device of this sort can be obtained or purchased?
Uhm, Yeah, So We're Gonna Need to Move that Fed Rate to Zero
Yep, the new target Fed funds rate is to drift between 0% and 0.25% for the foreseeable future. This is called, uh, a bad thing. Read Ben Bernanke's 2002 summary on deflation and go through the 'curing deflation' segement. Notice he has tried every solution mentioned except for one: printing money outright.
"But the U.S. government has a technology, called a printing press (or, today, its electronic equivalent), that allows it to produce as many U.S. dollars as it wishes at essentially no cost. By increasing the number of U.S. dollars in circulation, or even by credibly threatening to do so, the U.S. government can also reduce the value of a dollar in terms of goods and services, which is equivalent to raising the prices in dollars of those goods and services. We conclude that, under a paper-money system, a determined government can always generate higher spending and hence positive inflation" - Ben Bernanke, Nov 21, 2002

Anybody else having problems getting to Yahoo?
Several times over the past month.
Is it just me ???
Regardless -- my pick-em went to shit, so I really shouldn't care.

OH, one other thing...
one of the "team leads" seemed to be giving me carte blance to pwn beeches just so they can see what I can do.
Basically, tonight, all I did was stand FIRMLY in one spot, didnt really move for anyone, and was just tall. And really --- I'm pretty fucking tall.
MAYBE 3 or 4 dudes came in that were close to my height, but no one was taller.
And dressed in black in a dark club, all they see is the face of "Operation Badass" and they know they dont want any.

Couple of observations about working door...
First -- I saw a dude get Full Nelsoned and forcibly evicted.
Next -- The "big dude" who's maybe 7'1" or 2" hit a dude and I THINK I heard that his girlfriend was screaming "How is he alive!" I may have misheard.
Thirdly -- cougars love the Admir0l -- SOOOO Funny.
Finally -- I've never been to a club sober, so this was my first chance to see drunk goggles in action. WOW.
Anyway -- it was hilarious hearing some of the owners calling HEP & I twins.
Too funny.
Good night, or morning.

Too funny.
Good night, or morning.

BTW Mr. Sidekick... whats up with the John Mayer montage?
Granted, the Bear Suit and "2 Guys, 1 Cup" are some VERY funny shit, but I honestly only know 1 song of his.
John Mayer - Daughters
I would have thought that Guitar Hero 1, 2, 3 and Rock Band 1,2 & World Tour would be more illustrative of your past year.

Dirty little secret I need to share...
Since the moon is apparently like 13% bigger tonight than normal, I thought I'd go ahead and admit that I've never actually LOOKED at the moon with a telescope, at least that I can remember.
Pulled out some 10x binoculars -- its kind of cool.
That is all

So if I were a terrorist...
I wouldnt fly planes into buildings.
I would fly them into the factories that make nitric & sulphuric acid.
That would most likely bring the economy to a halt.

Now this is interesting
The UAW refused to take pay cuts, the Senate refused to play ball on bailouts, GM and Chrsyler are much closer to being bankrupt by Christmas.
There's still 'hope' for them...TARP has $15 billion left over, an amount that is [not] coincidentally close to what the automakers want. Also, I think W. can emerge from his hole and toss money from somewhere as well.
Having them go under is probably good for the US in the long run. Unions lose their sway, legacy costs go down, the free market could return to manufactoring. But damn if it won't hurt today.
Today is what one would call stressful.

Perhaps this is why the Admirol has so many dates as of late.
Please watch the video with this link. It is so true!

21 hours clean and sober
The first 8 hours were easy, I was asleep. The next 8 were pretty easy I was at school and smoking in class is frowned up. The last five hours have been prety fucking rough. I think that I am going to get into my car and just drive from seedy gas station to seedy gas station looking for an attendant that sells loose smokes.
UPDATE
I found a store that sells loose smokes so I was able to smoke two today which is down at the very least about 500% from a normal day. I think that I will be able to maintain like this for quite a while.

Another successful night of pwning @ trivia.
Thanks to Mr. Martin and her knowledge of the eldeberry products, we AGAIN dominated.
I seem to have lost an hour.
I may have taken the greatest power nap ever.
It REALLY feels like 3.
The cats aren't going nuts, so I SHOULDN'T have to feed them, but it IS 4.
And yet... am I still asleep???

Bad idea !!!
So I'm basically 3 sheets to the wind.
Moms calls, asking for 'tech support' to get her internet working.
Layer 1 beeches -- DSL modem not plugged into their wireless router.
Anyway -- I went out to feed Clover Dale & decided to try out the gada.
Wow.
Dude.
Bad idea.

I SWEAR its only on Tuesday nights.
Wow. Its been a while since I've gotten absolutely tanked. Maybe me, HEP & the Sidekick on election night.
Good times!!!
If you haven't been keeping up to date...
the governor or Illinois has been arrested for MANY MANY MANY things, but the one that is interesting is his attempt to sell B. Hussein Obama's Senate seat.
Which is now available on ebay.
Anyway -- Sweet Dee is doing even less work than normal today as he spends time reading the 70+ page indictment.
Funniest part for me -- the governor was going to cut funding to a children's hospital unless he was given a 50k donation. Classy.

Good money after bad.
"The results, I confess, were somewhat surprising, and not in a good way," John Dugan, head of the U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, said in prepared remarks for a U.S. housing forum.
"Put simply, it shows that over half of mortgage modifications seemed not to be working after six months." Dugan said . . .
Dugan said recent data showed that after three months, nearly 36 percent of borrowers who received restructured mortgages in the first quarter re-defaulted.
The rate of re-default jumped to about 53 percent after six months and 58 percent after eight months, Dugan said, without providing an explanation for the trend.

LOL -- work starts **EDIT*** Wednesday @ 8:30!!
AWESOME!!!!
They can give me a paycheck, but they'll never take my FREEDOM!!!!
**SAN**
So I've already filled out all their paperword and whatnot, but apparently they are wanting to do orientation for all the new people at the same time. At this point, I've been told either Wednesday or Thorsday.

So F-ing around with the gada & doing swings...
wore me the fuck out.
I took like a 4 hour nap today.
Quite tired and quite sore -- anyone who has any "happy pills" they are willing to share amongst the StRA community, I'd be more than happy to be a recipient.

Hello My Friends Hello
I really have not been on much at all recently. Many apologies. But I have two thoughts.
1.) SEC Champ and DelaHoya Pacquiao what is the plan.
2.) We all need to get back into working out (RA has) because it has now been a year since the last 300 challenge. I have not been doing a good job, and I start again tonight.

I forgot who I was dealing with.
So I'm just an "Ideas" man. I dont do details very well.
I MENTIONED to the Slap Bet Commissioner that I would be interested in going hunting with the husband of one of her coworkers. He is the one that gave us all the deer sausage and deer loin last year.
BLAM. Phone call this morning. The SBC has put my plan into effect.
Dammit.
Anyone have a big freezer just in case things work out?

What did I miss by never watching "Lost" ?
So I tried to catch up on wikipedia. No luck. Its just too convoluted.
Boing preincarnated?
Found this while surfing with Caleb. Mintcy saw it and wondered why the RA and I haven't pulled a videography of this order and I think it's a lack of technology during the heyday and now the lack of time about to start next week. . .

So I made a couple of "gadas"
Basically a long stick with a ball of concrete on the end.
Holy
Fucking
Shit
Its all about some torque.
Watching some of these dudes that are able to do it with their hands together -- they must be absolute BADASSES.
I either have to choke up pretty high OR separate my hands a bit.
Wow.
GOOD TIMES!!!
BTW -- start work Monday, 8:30.

So the Sidekick sends me an email at like 6 AM.
But dont even get me started -- Tbone called at like 8.
Anyway -- now that I have a job, I wont be at home you bastards.
As many of our faithful StRA community may know, the kettlebell is a cornerstone of our drinking and shenanigans. OBVIOUSLY, based on my fat ass not fitting into my slacks, its not hitting the level of cardio that I need. SO... he send me a link to THIS
Being a man of ACTION!!! I went ahead and made a few 'gadas' for us to try out.
Enjoy!
No idea on the weights -- waiting on them to cure before I do any fucking around.
I figured they need a good layer or 2 of duct tape to protect the legs, but then we were thinking of going up to somewhere in Wakefield with 'Uar to fuck around with them.

Fraud Alert!!!
OK, here's my situation. I'm looking to rent this nice four bedroom house in Charlotte...but the "landlord" claims to live out of the country in Africa. Now the price that this person is willing to rent this house out at seems too good to be true. So, does anyone know of a way that I can verify who is the owner of said property? I've read about cases where someone saw a posting of a rental and then pretended to be the owner which happened to be out of the country. I've been by the house and it is currently vacant but other than that I haven't seen it in any legitimate rental publication that I've been able to get my hands on. Any suggestions on this matter would be a great help.
Capt. BusinessTime
Go 80's Babies!!!!!!
UPDATE:
Maybe I should have mentioned this earlier but the rental was posted on CraigsList.

Very sad day.
Interview this afternoon so I'm getting gussied up.
Apparently, my gut is now bigger than my legs.
Looks like I either need to quit whining about my toe and start running again, or go buy some 38W, 36L slacks.
H.E.P. , where do YOU shop ???
