Month: September 2008

  • The weekend went by pretty fast.  Saturday morning I ran errands.  I discovered one of my favorite places in the world.  It is a store simply called The Cheese Shop.  I guess I don't have to explain what they sell.  I was intrigued by two styles of cheese they carried.  One was beer cheese.  Beer was added during one of the processes and yes it was quite tasty.  Then I found the cheese about which I have heard nothing but negative comments.  LIMBURGER.  I find it interesting that one of the bacteria that they use to ferment this cheese is one of the same bacterium that causes body odor in humans.  The lady opened up the package for me to smell to see if I wanted to try it.  The odor reminded me of my smelly socks after a football game in which I played during high school that featured 3 seasons.  It started off sunny and a little chilly and then moved to rain and then to heavy snow.  That smell was repulsive.  I ate it anyway with fried onions on rye bread.  That was some good eating.  This 80+ year old guy told me some stories I already knew about my grandfather and how at his shoe and harness store they would sit in the back and play cards and eat limburger cheese.  He said that you could discern which smelled worse, the cheese or the guys giving off gas from the cheese and beer and onions.  Well after my sandwich I picked up the cheese try my parents ordered.  I then went to pick up 10 dozen buns from the local bakery.  the lady behind the counter said that I am really looking like my grandfather. 
    I met up with my family and we delivered the food to the church and then we went off to a grocery store in a nearby town but first we stopped at the Chinese restaurant.  I think I saw the most beautiful woman in the world or that was what I thought when I first saw her.  I was hypnotized by her beauty.  I didn't even mind her four kids or her husband, well, yes, the husband sort of threw me off.  She winked at me and that sent me over the edge.  The husband knew I was looking but he didn't do anything seeing I was probably a foot taller than him and had a few bills on him in the weight department.  I knew nothing would happen but it was just the beauty that I was so enamored with.  Anyway, when they left I was able to enjoy my crab rangoons. 
    The parents picked up their food and we went home.  I started cooking 4 pound of pork in a slow cooker.  I added some dry rub and a touch of honey to the meat and then I let it cook.  Oh that stuff was smelling so good.  Let it cook until I went to bed and then put it in the fridge.  My mom made sloppy joes for the shindig.  Oh and to keep the meat from drying out I added vegetable stock to it to keep it moist.  Well I went to church and set everything up Sunday morning. 
    We had a lot of food and this huge cake.  Well there were a lot of people there.  The cheese tray we got was for 50-60 people and there wasn't any cheese left.  Out of the 10 dozen buns I got, there was only 1 dozen left.  All the sloppy joe was gone as was the pork.  We had a lot of cake left over but I guess that was ok. My mom introduced me to someone that she works with at the hospital.  Little did my mom know that I already knew the doctor, not through me seeing her for an appointment but for other reasons.  I walked one night to the dollar store and she was there and was basically a fish out of water in this small town and I carried her bags home.  Ah, I am such a sap.  I helped clean up and then I came home to collapse. 
    Well my mom wants me to come to this family night at our church.  I decide to take some beer.  Cue lightning bolts.  The pastor and I start talking about beer and he has his son go get a few bottles from his collection.  We sat back and enjoyed microbrews. 
    I get home and decide to go to bed but I can't sleep.  I tooled around on the net and then decided to put in a DVD.  Which one?  I only have about 1200 to choose from.  I decided on Kentucky Friend Movie.  It is directed by John Landis who also directed such classics as Animal House, The Blues Brothers, Three Amigos and Michael Jackson's Thriller video.  Kentucky Fried Movie was written by Jim Abrahams and David and Jerry Zucker.  Abrahams is probably best known for penning Airplane, the Hot Shots movies, the Naked Gun movies, and Top Secret!.  The Zucker brothers wrote BASEketball, Naked Gun, and Airplane.  Abrahams and the Zuckers will probably be best known for giving the world the parody movie, and Kentucky Fried Movie is probably my favorite. 
    There is absolutely no plot to this movie.  It is a collection of tasteless skits.  The movie is hilarious and left me in stitches.  I think it is one of those movies that you can watch at any time and if you are in a bad mood it will cheer you up.  Here are some clips.

    This next one is for the 18+ crew.


    Catholic High School Girls In Trouble - The most amazing bloopers are here

    How relevant is this video today?  I think we should tap into these resources.

    OK, well wasn't that offensive?  I only heard about this movie after hearing it mentioned in my favorite TV show, Freaks and Geeks.  The father would not let his son see the movie so I decided I needed to find out what Kentucky Fried Movie was all about.  I am glad I found it on dvd. 

    Well I have to get to bed now.  I am leaving early in the morning to take my dad to the eye doctor to see if there has been any progress with his cornea transplants.  Then baby clothes shopping(not for me but for my friend's son who turned a year old.  Hoping to find some Brewers merchandise).  Maybe make a visit to Camp Randall.  Well I need to get out of here.  Have a good day.

  • (Soda) Pop Culture

    Today I am exhausted because I got so into Dexter that after I posted last night I put in the dvd and watched 9 episodes.  Then I started my errands for this soiree my parents are having tomorrow.  I basically was around to carry things but it was great to get out for a drive and not have to worry about gas.  Of course I haven't driven much this summer.  I am still on the steroids but they aren't giving me the violent mood swings.  I got home in time to watch the Badgers take a crap at the Big House.  I was so pissed.  I finished off Dexter.  That show is so great.  I decided not to do anything new.  I dug up an old blog that was one of my favorites but before I started doing my celebrity posts so I don't think many people saw it.  I'm going to copy and paste and then enjoy my Schell's Hefeweizen.  I may even stick some new comments in with these things <>

    Here is (Soda)Pop Culture:

    I decided I should do a blog for a
    change.  I don't know why I don't blog more often but I just don't...hmmm not too convincing.  Anyway watching the debacle of a
    football game<Packers playoff loss to the Giants> I got to thinking about different pop or for those of you
    who no habla Wisconsinite soda.  There were so many kinds I used to
    drink.  I lived for pop long before I was able to gorge myself on
    beer.  Many of my favorite pops as a kid and a young adult have since
    gone the way of the Dodo; disappearing into oblivion. Sometimes a few
    make it back for another life, but many have faded away only to survive
    on Ebay and other random collector web sites. Enjoy them here, while they last.

    10. Coke II

    Coke-Ii-Tm

    So, back when Coca Cola started to slump a little in sales to its
    fiercest competitor, Pepsi Cola, someone made the executive decision to
    dink around with Coke's secret formula thereby making it taste more
    like, well, PEPSI. It wasn't bad, per se , but it sure as hell wasn't
    Coke. I remember how horrible this stuff was and how much I missed the
    old coke but the new innovation it brought was the plastic two liter
    bottle, "you take the good, you take the bad". This was an early
    eighties disaster and it always managed to make an appearance at our
    sleep-overs and it did a fine job of keeping us wired for hours. I
    think it had more sugar as well. I really do miss this stuff, but
    sadly, when Coke went back to its 'Classic' formula permanently, Coke
    II disappeared into soda oblivion.

    9. Hubba Bubba

    Hubbabubba-Tm

    The strongest memory I have of Hubba Bubba Soda is from grade school.
    We, in the ass-backward, dirt-water, hole that is Hillsboro seemed to
    drink this stuff by the gallon and as children had our own drinking
    games involving this gum pop. One of the 'games' was the infamous 'Pop
    Chug'. Everyone would stand over a beach towel with a 'spotter' on one
    side and commence to gulping as much warm Hubba Bubba Soda as humanly
    possible. Loads of fun! <we were stupid kids what can I say> I was never a big fan of this gum-flavored pop
    because whenever I seemed to drink it I always got a migraine, but it
    does hold certain high esteem in my clogged memory bank.

    8. Pepsi's Wild Bunch

    Pepsi-Wildbunch-Tm

    Just in case the images aren't clear, we've got: Raging Razzberry,
    Tropical Chill, and Strawberry Burst. I love how Raspberry is cleverly
    misspelled into 'cool' territory with the two 'Z's. Very nice. Anyway,
    The deepest remembrances I have of this particular trio was the
    chilling innards of my grandparent's ancient refrigerator on their back
    porch. It was one of those 'chill chest' types with the giant metal
    walk-in-restaurant-freezer style of handle and enough wattage to cause
    neighborhood brown outs. Yeah, that thing was always chock full of
    every conceivable beverage from beer to Bosco . Every time we'd visit
    we'd try to find the most odd drink we could dig out of there and I
    quite fondly remember tossing back a few of these guys. Dead and gone
    now. yes, my grandparents, this pop, and my childhood but I still have
    the refridgerator which will never die.

    7. Surge

    Surge-Tm

    Though not out of circulation as long as some of these, Surge has still
    become a classic to many a pining American. Coca Cola distributed this
    green soda for quite some time. I can remember it coming in to its own
    right around 1995 or so, and really building up steam for a few years
    before succumbing to the popularity of other, weaker, beverages. It had
    a citrus-like flavor to it but there was something almost
    lime-Jell-O-ish in the back ground that would always leave a little
    tang phlegm at the back of my throat. But it was pretty tasty and I
    could knock back a 2 liter in a sitting no problem. Almost, but not
    quite, melted candy.  It was banned in certain counties near my high
    school because of the high sugar content.  It was astonishing seeing
    people rush the grocery stores with carts filled with Surge.  I simply
    think this stuff liquid crack.

    6. Faygo Chocolate

    I
    couldn't find an image for this particular drink but I hold it in high
    regard.  My babysitter used to have a refridgerator filled with Faygo
    Chocolate.  Imagine taking a piece of chocolate cake and blending it
    with seltzer water until it was pure liquid.  This drink too gave me
    migraines but that was the price I had to pay to have this delicious
    concoction enter my system.  When the Diet Chocolate came out it was
    disaster.  It was horrible and then they changed the artwork on the can
    and it was supposed to be a chocolate bar but it looked more like a
    giant turd, and with that I stopped drinking chocolate soda.

    5. Josta

    Jostabottles-1.Gif-Tm

    This was a pretty recent extinction as well. I remember drinking a few
    of these back when Guarana was the new kid on the beverage block being
    marketed by Coke as the energy source of choice. Josta was so
    chock-full of the stuff you could, in fact, taste it. It was a tad
    medicine-y, but that flavor was nicely buried beneath the strong fruit
    and spice overtones that assaulted your taste buds moments before. This
    pop was far different taste wise than just about anything else out
    there, and it was pretty decent while it lasted.

    4. Orbitz

    Orbitz-Tm

    Oh yeah, soda with little chewy chunks in it. Outstanding! Somehow, the
    creators of this beverage managed to thwart the normalcies of science
    by allowing starch nuggets to suspend themselves ever so beautifully in
    a super-sweet solution. It was really good, too. I remember Target
    selling the hell out of this stuff for quite a while. I enjoyed the
    drinking part, but somehow, coming to the little lumps floating there
    in was a lot like drinking a glass of gravy… except a lot sweeter. Reminds me of the SNL skit called Crystal Gravy or maybe the Cookie Dough Gatorade.

    3. Kick

    Kick-Family-1-Tm

    Kick was a lot like the bastard step-son of Mountain Dew and Mello
    Yellow. It tasted similar to both, but almost leaning a bit
    toward Mello Yellow with its citrus overtones. I actually preferred it
    over either and would go through a case of this stuff during my late
    night Mystery Science Theater 3000 marathons.  To me is was the poor
    man's Surge.  Sort of like Sam's Club's Dr. Radical or Mountain Mist. 
    I have heard that Kick is still on the market but alas I can never find
    it.

    2. Slice

    Slice-Tm

    Slice was the precursor to Sierra Mist by the Pepsi corporation and for
    my buck, it tasted a whole lot better. My grandmother, in her massive
    fridge of holding, used to keep a constant supply of the Mandarin
    Orange flavor of this stuff. I hate mandarin oranges in any form, so I
    stuck to the lemon-lime standard and all was good with the world. There
    was something less overpowering about Slice as compared to 7-UP; not
    quite as crisp, not quite as effervescent, but certainly just as
    tasty.  The absolute best thing in the world was Dr. Slice.  The
    Pepsico attempt at Dr. Pepper.  Too bad it never caught on.  There were so many pops that Pepsico attempted that never caught on.  I was student teaching in a town that had a Pepsi bottling and production factory.  They were one of the places that made the experimental flavors.  I had all the different flavored Mountain Dews years before they were mass released.  I wish I could get my hands on that Pitch Black Mountain Dew.

    1. Crystal Pepsi

    Crystalpepsi-Tm

    I was in grade school in 1993 and this soda was a huge hit in
    Wisconsin. The selling price was less than any other cola and I
    remember getting cases of Crystal Pepsi at the local Kickapoo(yes,
    Kickapoo, we honor our native americans around here by naming gas
    stations after them but then they got bought out by Kwik Trip) for at
    least $1 cheaper than regular Pepsi.   I honestly loved this stuff, I
    would drink the HELL out of a few packs per week. I loved this stuff
    and another fun fact was that it never exploded if you shook it before
    you opened a can.  One time to prove my point I threw a can on my roof
    so that it could roll down and not explode.  Well the can got caught
    in one of the eaves.  I didn't get the can out a few months later. No I
    didn't taste it.  This pop also introduced me to Van Halen.  Yes, the
    whole marketing campaign revolved around Van Halen's "Right Now". 
    Anyway, there was just something about the non-caramel colored Pepsi
    that really appealed to me. I miss this the most of all. Of course it lead to SNL's Crystal Gravy

    Honorable mention:
    Pepsi Free (with the pink can and blue balloons)
    Tab (now an energy drink for women)
    Coke Blak(coffee flavored coke)
    Bawls(an energy drink with a funny name)
    Donkey
    Kick (energy drink sold at Super America gas stations, every time I
    bought a can I laughed because I wanted it to be Donkey Punch but they
    did have another flavor and that was Rooster Booster, I always had
    images a liquid viagra with that one)
    Jolt(hard to find in Wisconsin because of sugar and caffeine content, the best is the mountain dew style Jolt)
    Cheerwine(Cherry flavored pop that tasted like sparkling wine)

    If anyone has any other pop to add to my list feel free to drop a line.

  • Celebrity Round Up 9/26

    This week went by so fast.  I don't know what it was.  It seemed like yesterday was Sunday.  Today was fun.  I had some fun musical discussions and also did some errands with my dad.  It was fun because we went to Walmart and I did my version of consumer terrorism.  Dropping condoms in other people's carts will never get old for me.  I also witnessed a disgruntled worker wreak revenge on the beast and then witnessed his firing.  He was complaining about not getting off for homecoming..all over this area tonight..and he had a date and blah blah blah.  He started yelling and then knocked over some DVDs and then he and the supervisor exchanged unpleasant words and finally he was fired.  I watched in awe.  I wanted to run up and just say that kid was now my hero.  I decided I had to see Dexter season 2.  Picked it up and took it the counter.  It rang up $15 when it was listed as $40.  The clerk told me that was wrong and I said, "No, it says Dexter season 2 on the screen. $15."  She called for the supervisor who was still steaming.  The supervisor told me that it was wrong but I said it can't be wrong seeing it rang up that way on the computer and on the screen.  They said it was $40.  I asked, "Why are you charging me an extra $25?  Are you pocketing that extra money?"  Finally they gave it to me for that price.  The supervisor accused the kid of screwing around with prices on everything in the electronics and now their afternoon would mean price checks on everything.  Ah, WALMART!  You know that place is getting fun, it's like my own personal playhouse.  One of these days I'm going to take a bike off the shelf and ride it around the aisles or maybe see if I can get an electric cart and crash into displays.  Time for the round up.

    Last week I was talking about how Scarlett Johannson has turned into a diva.  Well some people didn't read what I wrote and asked her to have their picture taken with her.  Scarlett which rhymes with harlot replied, "I'm not the Statue of Liberty."  You know she's right.  The Statue of Liberty is a B-cup at best.  Scarlett better realize that her best assets are found in her bra and that those things will fall faster than the brokerage houses on Wall Street and that her breasts aren't FDIC insured.  Gravity is a cruel mistress.

    Travis Barker, mostly foundly remembered for being in the band Blink 182, and DJ AM were the only survivors of a chartered jet crash last weekend.  The plane went down right as it was taking off in Augusta, Georgia.  When rescuers came upon the scene, Travis and DJ were running around tearing their clothes off.  The pilot, co-pilot, and two of Travis crew died.  The saddest part of this was that one of Travis' crew was Lil Chris.  Apparently he was featured in Travis' reality show.  He only hopped on the jet when he heard his wife was going into labor back in California.  Travis and DJ AM suffered burns to 50% of their bodies.  DJ AM was released today but Travis remained in the hospital.  They are both expected to make full recoveries.  This is probably out of line but seeing Travis was heavily tattooed do those burn off?  The cause of the plane crash was a tire blow out.  I don't know what it is with music stars and plane crashes.  You'll have to read one of my past blog entries

    People around Tom Cruise are worried that Suri is lonely because she has no friends.  SURI IS 2 YEARS OLD!  BUT...her parents are freaks so who would want their children near Tom Cruise.  I wouldn't.  The concern of a 2 year old's loneliness is ridiculous.  No one seemed concerned about me when I went through my lonely phase which involved me, a jar of vaseline, and Golden Girls marathons on Lifetime.

    Simon Cowell looks unhealthy.  Has he been living on the sun?  Sleeping in his fireplace?  Holding his breath for days?  Please, someone, explain.

    Looks like Siena Miller was here.

    Shia Lebeouf must feel like the Teflon Don, maybe I should call him the Teflon Douche.  Anyway he is off the hook in his car accident because the driver of the other car involved as to blame.  The DA isn't going to seek charges against Shia.  He might have his license suspended for a year because he refused to take a breathalyzer and a blood test.  Guess the lesson here is the next time you are out driving drunk and get into an accident refuse to take any test and then claim you are making a movie.  Latest word is that he may not even get his license suspended.  That douche.

    Samantha Ronson(Lindsay's confirmed lesbian lover, more on that later) was asked to dj a club but she refused once she learned that the venue was a gay bar.  Apparently she has in her contracts that she won't play gay bars. Maybe she is embarassed as a lesbian that her girlfriend has seen more hard wood than Paul Bunyan or maybe she learned from past experiences that when she is on a date with Lindsay at the club her fingers get too tired to spin records.

    I have heard of asking for autographs but I am sure this is something I have never seen.  I bet in all his years in the industry, Easy Rider Peter Fonda has never had to do this either unless he worked with the likes of Cary Grant or Rock Hudson or Liberace.

    Portia de Rossi and Ellen DeGeneres got married a few weeks ago and word is that Portia is going to change her surname to DeGeneres.  Why wouldn't Ellen take Portia's last name?  Ellen de Rossi, it sounds more glamorous sort of like a sparkling wine.  But Ellen buys the milk in that relationship so Portia changes her name.

    Paris Hilton took time at the opening of a New York nightclub to show us how she shakes hands with males.

    Mary Kate Olsen's lack of a work ethic is causing a rift between her and Ashley.  Ashley wants Mary Kate to step aside from their fashion line because Mary Kate's look is too "unique".  I guess "unique" is the best way to describe a fashion look that is called homeless anorexic.

    This asshole, Nick Hogan, is going to be released from jail early on account of his good behavior yet his friend John Graziano is still in a vegetative state.  Brooke's balls are dripping with excitement.  Of course this douche has been on good behavior.  He spends most of his day curled up in the fetal postion in the corner of his cell while sucking his thumb.  A good day for him in jail is where he gets to eat half his cookie before the other inmates steal his meal.  Oh that car behind him in the second photo is the car that he crashed and turned his friend into a vegetable.  Jsut wait for all the interviews, magazine articles, reality shows, and straight up fuckery to follow his release all while his friend is brain dead.

    There is a God.  He has answered my prayers.  Natalie Portman broke up with Bushy McBeardo.  He is some indie rock singer that on his last album's artwork he appeared nude with his bandmate.  CREEPY!  I'd like Natalie to know I am clean shaven.  I learned from one of my exs that it is good to keep a clean face unless you want your girlfriend's thighs to look like they have been exfoliated with sandpaper.

    I'm not the fashion expert but aren't you supposed to use the Sharpie for your eyebrows and not around the eyes.  Oh we have to take into account that Mischa Barton is a pothead.  What the hell is with that head band?  At least it matches her nightgown.  It looks like she is on her way to take a nap.

    Mini-Me, Verne Troyer, is working on his next sex tape with his new girlfriend model Dominique Arganese.  Guys, do you want to get laid?  Besides using the material found herein to use for conversation pieces, you need to follow Mini-Me's example.  Forget exercising, getting an education, or working, those are for chumps.  You need to get a bit part in a played out movie franchise, then go make an ass of yourself on numerous reality shows.  Then you can bang supermodels the rest of your life.  Now, look at that champagne he is drinking.  If I drank the equivalent he is drinking, I would have to pound like 5 cases.  Oh another thing, don't worry about your appearance.  Look like a total douche.

    Miley Cyrus and her father Billy Ray Cyrus are plotting to get her fired from Disney because they see ways that they can make even more money than with the Mouse(sextapes, nude spread in PLayboy etc.).  On the set of Hannah Montana, Miley has been acting like a little bitch.  She would complain about everthing, purposefully blow her lines(not blow lines of coke), show up late, and make fun of others on the set.  Disney found out about her little plot and sat her down.  Now Miley and Billy are saying they are both fully committed to Disney and Hannah Montana and she is now Miceky's slave.  I bet they had Mickey sit her down and tell her to go out and shake that ass to bring home the cheese.  Oh and by the way, why is Miley taking career advice from the mulleted wonder Billy Ray?  He blew his entire fortune before she was born.  That is why he had to take that role about being a doctor with a mullet.  Great career to follow, Miley!

    This is Megan Hauserman.  She was the winner of Beauty and the Geek season 3.  She also appeared on Rock of Love 2.  She is currently a contestant in VH-1's I Love Money.  Megan will soon be in another series called Charm School: Rock of Love Girls.  She must really want to be famous.  She has also posed for Playboy and you can see the pics here.  Wow, this little gal is going all out.  I really can't stand her but I'll let you be the judge.

    This week on the Martha Stewart Show, Martha explained to Jordin Sparks that don't need a promise ring to enjoy handling meat.

    It's nice to know that marriage hasn't made Mariah Carey less of a diva.  While at Morimoto, she had her security clear out the women's bathroom so she could have her privacy.  Either she had a massive burrito with extra guacamole before eating at the restaurant or she needed to do a few lines.  I mean you don't want to do your coke on the tables in the dining room, you may get bread crumbs mixed in with the blow.

    Lindsay Lohan came out of the closet this week.  While Sam was being interviewed on Love Line, she handed the phone to Lindsay and Stryker asked Lindsay if she and Sam were dating.  Lindsay said that they have been dating for a long time.  Here I thought they were just a couple of girls who shopped together, did their hair together, and talked about boys sort of like Laverne and Shirley.  Wait, were they lesbians?

    Leonardo DiCaprio broke up with his supermodel girlfriend Bar Rafaeli but now they are dating again.  You may think being one of Hollywood's greatest actors and banging a supermodel may be something to be jealous of well you haven't seen the new basket I have for my bike.

    Apparently Kirsten Dunst and Drew Barrymore are fighting over the Mac guy Justin Long.  They ran into each other at Saturday Night Live(wow, that show is becoming relevant again) and they really didn't do anything but stare at each other.  One separated they had words about each other.  This isn't the first time Kirsten has dated one of Drew's exs.  Kirsten also picked up Fabrizio Moretti after he and Drew broke up.   Drew should have called Kiki a cunt and poured a pitcher of beer over her head.  That is how I picture women fighting over me.  Apparently just hours ago I read that Kirsten and Justin Long broke up.  I guess his penis got the message that if you act up around Kirsten Dunst, you pay the consequences.

    I was going to play Guess the Ass here but this is too easy.  You think Kim Kardashian's behemoth bottom would have shrunk some with all the training for Dancing with the Has Beens...I mean Stars.  If that gets any bigger they are going to have to label it a fire hazzard.  She has to tone that down because soon she will only be able to go through double doors.

    Hercules turned 50 this week.  Kevin Sorbo, the most successful entertainer in the WELS since Buffalo Bob.  The Buffalo Bob wikipedia article is wrong, he was a member of the WELS church and played organ there.  Yeah, this probably doesn't matter to most of you so sorry.  I know J and L appreciate, wink.

    Don't expect Johnny Depp to return any of your psycho rant telephone calls any time soon.  He is currently working on three movies for Disney.  The first is Alice in Wonderland directed by Tim Burton of course.  Depp will be playing the Mad Hatter.  Then he will be in The Lone Ranger as Tonto which I somehow find offensive.  I wonder if they will smear red paint on his skin like they did in the old days of westerns when they got white dudes to play the Native Americans.  Then he will be taking up his role as Jack Sparrow in Pirates of the Caribbean 4.  Oh to make millions of dollars per film!  Well I guess I am better off not being one of Mickey's slaves.

    Look at JLo's backfat.  There is no way she ran a triathalon.  You're probably saying that's an old picture.  It was taken last weekend.  She did the triathalon two weekends ago.  I think the only triathalon she runs is the circuit between McDonald's, Burger King, and Culver's or if you don't have a Culver's near you let's say a Wendy's.  MMMM Culver's...I could go for a butter burger right about now.  Actually I had a bar burger for supper.  It was so good I want another.  It was a burger, topped with fried onions, hashbrowns, and cheese.  The arteries are clogging as we speak.

    Jenna Jameson confirmed that she is *yawn* pregnant with *yawn* twins this week.  she's going to have twins like every other celebrity because one baby isn't good enough and they have to rub it in the face of the norms who only have one child at a time.  Why didn't Jenna go all out and have like 10 babies?  I mean her vagina cave could easily house 10 babies.  I have a felling she will name them after her favorite things: Crystal and Meth or Dildo and Delores(you know the Seinfeld episode).

    Jamie Lynn Spears found herself at the center of an FBI investigation of child pornography distribution.  It shouldn't be shocking, she is a Spears.  Her boyfriend Casey took a photo of her exposed breast while she was breast feeding.  He then took the memory card to Walmart to get the pictures printed.  One of the photo department workers found the picture and started to distribute it over the Internet.  The FBI swooped in because it is child pornography because even though she is breast feeding she is only 17.  Britney has said that she is going to have her lawyers work up a lawsuit against Walmart.  That won't happen.  The only way a member of the Spears family would sue Walmart is to make them stay open longer.  Thankfully I have 4, 24 hour Walmarts within a 30 mile radius.  I have often wondered what it would be like to work as a photo processor.  I guess this incident makes it a less attractive job. 

    The Crocs epidemic is spreading!  I really think those things have run their course.  If you are laughing at Iggy Pop for having a heel wedge on one of his Crocs, you will go to hell.  He was born with one leg longer than the other.  I can't respect him as a rock star anymore seeing he wears those things.  He may be able to regain my respect because his lady friend looks like she just got off the Bang Bus.  OK, I'll be honest here, I'd have a pair of Crocs too but I can't readily find them in a size 17.

    Hugh Hefner is getting delusional in his old age.  Soon the great experiment of dating three women who all look alike will be over.  Holly, supposedly Hef's favorite, has been seen with Criss Angel.  Kendra is leaving to do her own reality series and is supposedly engaged to a football player, and who cares about Bridget.  He says that they sleep together every night.  Maybe Alzheimer's is setting in with Hef because people are saying that Holly is spending every night with Criss Angel.  Oh well his girlfriends Kendra and Bridget are just for show but his Stepford wife is Holly.  She'll be back.  In other Playboy news, Hef has offered Sarah Palin millions to pose for Playboy.  Does he really think that a political candidate would pose during the election?  Well I guess this is Sarah Palin.  If she does that will push McCain over the edge but don't expect it.

    Heidi and Spencer were quite busy this week.  First they were at Wolfgang Puck's LA restaurant for the unveiling of their portraits.  That is so gross.  If I was eating there I would lose my appetite.  I think they would have better luck placing feces on the wall.  Heidi said getting her picture in his restuarant is better than winning an Academy Award.  Last time I checked they didn't give out Oscars for being dumb whores.  Later in the week Heidi and Spencer were at a feed the homeless event.  I am surprised they didn't have their photo taken while making out over the homeless people's food.  Wait!  You can't see her right arm.  10 bucks says she's giving Spencer a hand job underneath the apron.

    I have my fingers crossed that one of Halle Berry's multiple personalities is an undersexed French maid.

    George Michael was arrested for possession of weed and crack in a bathroom that is well known for gay activity in London this week.  Sounds like George is trying to get arrested and thrown in jail.  Putting him in prison would be like locking me in a brewery.  In both cases something is going to get sucked dry.

    Dane Cook is being evicted from his apartment for not cleaning up after his dog.  He lives in the same apartment building that John Belushi and Steve Martin lived while they were struggling comedians.  He wants their success to come to him.  His career is headed for the dog crap bin regardless of where he lives.  I seriously do not fnd him funny.  He steals his act

    Wow, Coco looks like she is trying to be classy.  That dress looks like it costs over $50 but I have to ask where is the camel toe.  Her camel toe lets me know that everything in the world is ok.  Coco remember this saying: less class, more ass.

    Guess the ass.  It belongs to a retired supermodel.  Cindy Crawford.

    Guess the ass.  The owner supposedly divorced her husband because of his inability to perform in bed and his small penis.  She was a mediocre tennis player but a better model.  Anna Kournikova.

    I miss Christina Aguilera's signature red lipstick.  Jem called, she wants her lip color back.  I bet Xtina has to go to Maaco to have her make-up painted on.  

    Some genius is turning Bret Ellis' book American Psycho into a Broadway musical.  Only Christian Bale can play Patrick Bateman.  He did such a great job in the film version that anyone else would ruin that role.  Also, Christian was in the musical Newsies.  American Psycho is like Newsies but with more blood, nail guns, Huey Lewis, and rats.

    I am in love with Charlize Theron.  She hates The Hills.  Here's what she said "I realized that this fucking show is huge. Now I’m going to ask you a
    question: Why? Why is it so big? It’s about nothing! This is a free
    country. Freedom of speech! You can tell me right now to my face that Reindeer Games was a piece of shit. That’s totally fine. But The Hills
    is about nothing. I think the girls are beautiful and when they cry
    their mascara runs and that’s real, but I don’t get it! [Pause.] I am a
    nana. I’ll just take it. I am a nana. Maybe I need to watch the shows
    some more."  Charlize is rich, hot, and hates The Hills.  The only way she could be any better is if she pooped lottery tickets and nagged me about not eating at Taco Bell or Culver's enough.

    This is Blake Lively, the star of Gossip Girl and The Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants.  When it comes to investigative journalism, my skills are lacking but when I see this picture, I ask, are her breast fake or what?  That may be crass however I find it as important as Watergate and I can't sit here wondering.

    PETA petitioned Ben and Jerry's to use human breast milk in their ice cream.  PETA got the idea from some restaurant in Switzerland that uses human breast milk in its soups and sauces.  Why Aretha Franklin?  Well if she got pregnant, Ben and Jerry's would have enough milk to produce ice cream the rest of our days.

    Amanda Bynes was photographed at the premiere of Lifetime Network's Living Proof.  They have premieres for TV movies?  That seems to be overkill.  A TV movie premiering in a theater.  I guess that is what she gets for dating Seth MacFarlane.  She has come such a long way from her days on Nickelodeon.  I think I am going to invite her to the premiere of my next bubble bath.

    I think Britney Spears' British voice told her wear that wig.  Maybe she is just trying to look like Uma Thurman from Pulp Fiction to impress Quentin Tarrantino and to get him to make that movie with her as the lead.  Actually this was taken after a shoot for her video for her new single Womanizer.  A guy can dream, can't he?  Oh and a radio station released the actual single today.  Last week I posted a link to a bootleg version, this is the actual single.  Strangely, they put it on youtube.  If you ask me, she is trying to hard.  I can't stand that typical Britney trying to sing in a low voice.  It doesn't do anything and it sounds like crap.  And I think she is singing over video game music.  It will probably be platinum.

    Amy Winehouse sang at a charity event this week.  No, the charity event wasn't people trying to raise money to get her a bath.  People said her singing sounded like she was grunting into the mic.  After her song, she went backstage and headbutted a paparazzo and then collapsed backstage crying, "Life can't go on."  I am starting to get this weird sensation.  It's for Amy...it's as if I am sad for her. 

    Amy really is itching to see me or maybe release that third album which I doubt will ever happen.

    Mr. Peabody and I fired up the Way Back Machine this week.  Last week was Amy Winehouse's 25th birthday.  We decided to travel to the future to see what her 30th birthday party would look like.  Amy is in the yellow.

    In probably the biggest celebrity news story this week, Clay Aiken came out of the closet.   Do you hear that collective gasp?  He came screaming out of the closet.  Now what are all the Claymates and Claynation going to do?  I found this website that I fear will implode and take the entire internet with it.  I mean all those Claymates seem to be the conservative Republican type.  I mean it's not like we didn't know he was gay.  What other man would get a woman pregnant with a turkey baster?  Hell there's rumors that Melissa Ethridge watched as David Crosby got it on with Melissa's partner so that she would become pregnant.  Also, he did have a Manhunt account and had numerous male friends on that all male site.  Yeah, I read that years ago so you don't have to check if I have an account.  This is what some of Claynation is saying:

    "This is a gut wrenching day for The ClayNation. Somebody wake me up, I hope its a dream."

    "please tell me I'm not the only
    one who is shocked beyond belief! I feel numb I'm so upset. This can't
    be real!! How can you guys say this won't change anything? This changes
    EVERYTHING. I don't even know what to think right now"

    "I wish him well and hope he gets
    some peace of mind now BUT I feel he lied to everyone-especially us
    fans. He should have just said so years ago. I feel like we were
    "used". I still love to hear him sing but I also feel he has now become
    like a Michael Jackson and it's a bit too weird! He isn't just the
    plain ordinary person with the values he first stood for.-but it's just
    my opinion."

    "One really sad thing for me that
    sums this up. THis morning at the breakfast table my 9 and 10 year olds
    were there and the radio was on and they came on with the headline
    "FOrmer American Idol..." and I knew what was coming and I ran to turn
    it off. I didn't want my young children to hear that and ask questions
    about it. To me this is the saddest thing and the reason I won't be
    able to hold him as my idol. I remember the day when I ran to turn it
    on and called all the family to watch with pride. It just seems so in
    your face now and I don't want exposing my kids to this. "

    "I just feel rather silly now
    having spent the last 5 years drooling over and being fan girly for a
    singer I thought was straight and now finding out he is gay. It does
    change my perception of who he is and how I see him. We always called
    him our boyfriend and that won't be happening anymore."

    Here is some of Clay's exclusive interview:

    On why he decided to come clean:
    "It
    was the first decision I made as a father. I cannot raise a child to
    lie or to hide things. I wasn't raised that way, and I'm not going to
    raise a child to do that."

    On how he thinks his mom-jeans-wearing fans are going to handle the news:
    "Whether
    it be having a child out of wedlock, or whether it be simply being a
    homosexual, it's going to be a lot. I've never intended to lie to
    anybody at all. ... But if they leave, I don't want them to leave
    hating me."

    On telling his mommy four years ago:
    "It
    was dark. I was sitting there, thinking to myself. I don't know why I
    started thinking about it ... I just started bawling. She made me pull
    over the car and it just came out. She started crying. She was
    obviously somewhat stunned. But she was very supportive and very
    comforting. She still struggles with things quite a bit, but she's come
    a long way."

    On raising his son Parker Foster Aiken:
    "I
    have no idea if he'll be gay or straight. It's not something I'll have
    anything to do with, or that he'll have anything to do with. It's
    already probably up inside the code there ... No matter what the
    situation you're in, if you're raised in a loving environment, that's
    the most important thing."

    This economy is really hurting everyone.  I mean Clay got shafted(bad pun) on his exclusive interview and first baby photos.  He only raked in $500,000.  Those tabloids are really hurting.  One of the editors said that there will be no more million+ dollar exclusive deals.  You hear that Jenna Jameson!  Don't expect magazine to want exclusive photos of Dildo and Delores.  But in Clay's defense, $500,000 does buy a lot of assless chaps.

    Well that is it for this week.  I hope you laughed and will come back for more.  The number of readers is expanding every day.  When I started this blog I was lucky to get 10 hits a week.  This week I have had 5000.  Yeah, I am happy but I suppose some of my readers are getting more hits.  Anyway, this weekend I'll be busy so I don't know if I'll get on here.  Have a good weekend!

  • Random-o-rama

    I have been cold all day although it was in the low 70s.  I think it was because last night I left all my windows open and it got really chilly in here and I fell asleep without any blanket or sheets.  Speaking of windows, I was going around to them to shut down the screens and in one that I rarely close because my cats love to sit there I found a pile of cat puke.  Oh I almost lost it.  I am a sympathy puker.  I always told my students that if they felt sick that they were free to go to the bathroom and if they puked they would be the ones cleaning it up because I get sick.  I think only one time in my life I didn't get sick when someone else was throwing up was while I held a friend's hair.  We were at a wedding reception in Waukesha and this place was classy with a capital CLASSY.  The bride's dad is a member of the club and they went all out.  The free beer that night was Guinness.  Yes, Guinness.  Anyway this friend got trashed and we wandered out on the golf course and saw some guy she had the hots for banging one of her friends and she lost it.  That threw her over the edge and then she started ralphing.  I helped her aim right in the 18th hole.  Maybe it was love...it always escapes me.  Today I tried getting out for a bike ride but my arthritic ankle wouldn't allow me to go as far as I wanted.  I got a quarter of the way and turned around.  I am probably not going to be going to see Choke this weekend because it is my parents' 30th anniversary and my dad informed me that I have to help with all the preparations for some social gathering they are holding at the church.  Fun times.  They did inform me that they will be making my favorite: pulled pork sandwiches topped with a scoop of coleslaw.  I think I am going to pick up a load of cheese curds.  I love cheese curds both fried and regular.  For those who haven't had a cheese curd, you haven't lived.  Time to get random.

    I'm really going to miss summer, especially those open toed shoes.  I actually find it odd in our country that men are allowed to go topless yet women but they are allowed to expose their breast while breast feeding.  We need to work on those laws.  I remember years ago when there was an equal rights protest at the state capital involving women having the right to be topless.  Of course they marched around topless.  Politics are so awesome.

    So is that a good deal?

    Take that, Brett Favre.

    A nice little parody.

    Here's another parody.  Anyone know the movie that it is spoofing?  It contains one of the most gruesome scenes in film history yet it doesn't.  The actual gore is not shown but you hear it so the brain makes you visualize it.  Not a great movie yet everyone thinks it is one of the best mafia movies ever made even though it has nothing to do with the mafia.  Oh and if you ever watch MTV's Cribs, every rapper shows you this dvd in his collection.  Answer at the end.

    I love this cartoon strip...hahaha strip

    I hate the RIAA.  Too bad all the recording artists don't realize that the RIAA is actually pissing on them.  I have heard that for every cd sold that the highest residuals that someone like Britney Spears or Madonna gets is 5 cents.

    So how do you get rid of your old porn?

    Somewhere in Gotham City, a child is happy that a judge granted full custody to his mother.

    Man this economy is getting tough for everyone.

    Soon to be the For Lease by Owner Store or possibly the $700billion Bail Out Store.

    As I said earlier, this economy is effecting everyone.  It is hurting fast food joints and it is also harming grammar and spelling.

    Hot Links
    There have been stories told about how some movies have been cursed.  Here is a list of the stories behind 6 cursed movies and movie franchises.  I think the ones about Atuk and The Conqueror are worth reading.  Especially The Conqueror, just to know what some of those actors went through before CGI and Blue and Green Screen.

    Want to see some of the whitest dancing known to man?  Check this out.  By the way, that is a church.  I wonder if people still attend the services. 

    I found an interesting blog about White people.  I wonder if it classifies as racist.  It definitely stereotypes the race.  So is this a good site?  I love The Onion so I guess that means I am white???

    Now this is science.
      We need to devout more money to their cause.  I hope to see 5 ply within my lifetime.

    Last week I posted a link to a story about a getting murdered after a penis measuring contest went awry.  Now we have a brother stabbing his brother for a Hot Pocket.  Finally, Jim Gaffigan will be able to update and add some more to his routine about Hot Pockets.

    Well this is nothing, there was a bar in my college town that offered free drinks to women who handed over their bras.  They hung above the bar until it closed.  The best was a 40F bra that a guy stole from a girl in the dorms and took in to collect a free drink.  That bra wa placed in the center.  Maybe it wasn't 40F but it quite large and I don't think the girl ever found out.

    For any of you that have Rock Band 2, you can make avatars and here is a video on how to make a Stephen Colbert character.

    This economy is so tough that people now are getting jobs as clock models.

    Jahvid Best gets his 15 minutes of fame.  I don't think I will remember him for anything other than this.  Not even if he breaks Ron Dayne's rushing record.  I will remember this video.

    Remember Nintendo?  Not Wii, or Game Cube, or N64, or Super Nintendo.  Just plain ass old Nintendo.  Here you can play some of your favorite games.  This is a great time waster.

    Caroline Baum gets right to heart of why people are going to vote for McCain/Palin.

    Josh Groban is some famous singer.  I don't listen to him nor his type of music.  I think my mom may but anyway he did a montage at the Emmys of classic TV theme songs.  My favorite is when he sings South Park's theme song. 

    Michael Moore has a new movie that he is releasing on the Internet.  You can also purchase the dvd on the site.  The movie is about how he tried to get young people to vote in the 2004 election.  I'm not always a fan of Moore' politics.  I did enjoy a few of his movies. 

    This is a set of photos from an apartment in Houston, TX.  It has nothing to do with the hurricane.  This was before the hurricane came through.  I too ask, how can anyone live like that.  The bathroom...oh my god the bathroom.

    Well that is all for today.  I am hoping to get my Celebrity Round Up posted tomorrow.  I will be running errands with my dad so who knows.  I am also looking to add some more songs on the old audio blog so look for that.

  • Hard Apple Cider

    What You'll Need:
                                1 Gallon unfiltered apple juice(in glass bottle)
                                1 packet bread yeast (eg Fleishman's or Res Star)<1>
                                4-6 Cups brown and/or white sugar
                                1 party balloon (buy a pack, sometimes they break)<2>

    Pour off a glass or so worth of apple juice and set it aside (you'll need some of it in a bit).  Put the sugar into a sauce pan.  More sugar means a sweeter cider and more alcohol, darker sugar means a darker cider with a stronger flavor. I might do 2 1/2 cups of each.

    Add enough apple juice to the saucepan to dissolve the sugar over low heat.  You shouldn't need more than half of the remaining cider.

    Once the sugar is dissolved, let the mixture cool slightly, and pour it back into the bottle (use a funnel if you need to).  The bottle should now be full of warm extra-sweet juice.

    Toss in about 1/2 tsp of yeast (a yeast packet usually holds a little over 2 tsp, so don't throw in the whole thing), and top off the bottle with the juice you set aside in step 1.  Leave a few inches at the top of the bottle, don't let it get too full.

    Wash the powdered anti-stick stuff out of the balloon, and prick it with a pin.  Then place the balloon on the top of the bottle.  The pinprick will be enough to let air escape from the bottle, but not big enough to let any nasty bacteria back in.

    That's it.  Let sit for 2-3 weeks.
    After 2-3 weeks, you will need to "rack" the cider.  Racking is the process of siphoning the cider off the top of the lees(dead yeast).  You can use a siphon if you want, but if you're careful, the 1-gallon bottle is small enough that you can usually just pour the good stuff off the top.  Don't worry if you get a little lees along with the cider, since you have to rack it again, anyway.  Replace the balloon (use a new one if necessary) and let the cider continue to ferment.

    Rack the cider again every 2-3 weeks until there is no more lees at the bottom of the bottle.  The cider is drinkable at any stage, but it starts to get good at about 2-3 months, and excellent around 9 months and like wine it will get better with age.

    IMPORTANT: Please make sure that you do not reseal the juice bottle with its original lid until you are completely sure that there is no live yeast left.  This kind of bottle was not made to handle pressure, and if you have any live yeast left over, you risk building up more pressure than the bottle can handle.  Since the cap screws on stronger than the glass can hold, if it blows, you'll end up with sticky broken glass all over your kitchen (or wherever you chose to set your brew).  Trust me, you don't want that.

    <1>You're more than welcome to substitute a beer, cider, or ale yeast for the bread yeast.  It will change the flavor of the end result, so you might want to try several different yeasts to see which you prefer.

    <2> Of course, you can also use a standard brewing airlock.  They only cost about $2 and can be picked up at any brew store.  Just make sure that you get a rubber stopper big enough not to fall through the opening on the juice bottle (7 1/2 or 8 will probably do the trick but its recommended that you measure).

  • It's Wednesday already.  My day was pretty lackluster except I got to talk to an old family friend.  My dad had to leave for work so I had to wait at his house for this guy to show up to fix the washer and dryer.  We talked about how I am dying and then how he is getting older and how he misses his oldest son who "accidentally" shot himself with a shotgun.  Then we talked about all the apples and how my grandfather had this great orchard which was actually just the lot next to his that had like 15 apple trees on it.  Oh and we talked about Vietnam.  This guy was into some heavy shit.  He mentioned some stuff about tunnel rats and well it was emotional. Turns out he fixed the washer and said that the parts were getting obsolete and that my dad would be better off buying a new one.  Also he said that the washer and dryer were probably older than I am by about 10 to 15 years.  Then I took a nap.  Fun times.  I made tacos for supper and plain old tacos weren't good enough for me because I bought double decker taco kits.  Yeah, I totally ate tonight.  Hamburger, peppers, onions, refried beans, hot sauce, guacamole, and cheese.  Then of course tortilla chips and salsa.  After washing up I sat down to watch the Springer episodes that I tape during the week.  It was so calm and quiet that I just sat watching the night sky.  It was oh so quiet.  Then the peacefulness was shattered by a gun shot.  I live in town across the street from a library.  There are some projects across the street but those low income housing units are taken by people in their 80s and welfare cases who have like 10 kids by 10 different men.  I think the Amish are after me because they found out some of the things I posted about them.  Well I heard no sirens and no police came knocking on my door so I watched the Springer and then Sons of Anarchy.  I guess I am getting into that show because I would like to make my own bike some day.  Speaking of bikes, tomorrow I plan a ride.  I need to get out before it gets cold.  I believe I will do 20 miles.  I like being out in the sun and alone in nature on the country roads because then it gets my mind off of how I want to meet a mate to hold me, thrill me, and kiss me.  Well if you clicked on any of those links you probably see what a sick sense of humor I have.  Time for some comic books.

    Superman playing a witch doctor and forcing Jimmy Olsen to marry an ape?  You would have thought that with all the crap that happened to him, Jimmy Olsen would have killed himself.

    But you can't ruin Pat Boone's masterpiece!  What a dick!  Let Pat Boone ruin his own career.  Did he even have a career.  The only songs I ever remember him singing are covers.  His first was a cover of Little Richard's "Tutti Fruity".  See Pat made it into a non-threatening white version.  Then he also released an album of him covering heavy metal classics.  Oh Pat, you should have let Superman stop you.

    I don't think a comic book could be less exciting.  Strong Man versus a helicopter?  WTF!  Is the helicopter evil?  I do think there is something sexually suggestive of the strong man wielding that long pole or maybe it is just me noticing my own inadequecies. 

    The Daily Planet is probably the only office in the world where seemingly harmless pranks are always potentially fatal.

    This is a classic.  I didn't know Archie was that way.  Look at the looks on the guys' faces.  I think they enjoyed Archie's work. 

    Didn't they ever test him for ADHD?  Maybe they should have given him ritalin. 

    Don't do it!  It's a trap!  Chris Hansen from Datline NBC's To Catch a Predator is waiting.  He'll tell you to take a seat!

    Fantastic Fingers?  I knew a guy in high school that had that nickname among our female classmates.

    Happy Father's Day, you dick!  I can't believe Jimmy Olsen went along with Superman adopting him. 

    Superman looks disgusted.  He must finally realize that he is a dick either that or he's hungry and wants him a sammich.

    Superman is probably framing Batman because that is the type of dick Superman is.  He is also hiding a barrel of rotten vegetables to throw at Batman.

    Wow, Superman is actually saying something that I wish I could have said to a couple of my exs.

    Well that is all for this evening.  I will be back tomorrow with something random.  I might be late because I am thinking of doing some tubthumping or making some hard apple cider.  Oh and I posted a number of new songs on my audio blog.  You would be angels if you went to check them out.  You will also be an angel if you aren't pissed off at me and all these links.  Until tomorrow, have a good day.

  • Capitals Mean I am Angry

    So who else is getting sick of all the political ads on tv?  I happen to live in one of the supposed battleground states so every commercial break I am treated to commercials saying how bad each politician is.  It gets worse when you go out and about in town.  You hear all these lily-white ladies that are scared of Obama because Fixed(Fox) News said that Obama went to a madrasa and was trained to be a terrorist and when he takes office he will allow the terrorists to enter the country and wreak havoc.  Then you get all the young guys saying they are voting with their cocks because of how hot Sarah Palin is.  I must be gay because even though I have posted photos of her and made lewd comments, I do not find her attractive in the least bit.  I guess when someone wants to strip me of my political freedoms I sort of lose my erection.  I hate my friends wh send my forwards of a supposed interview wherein Obama talks about the 57 states and how there are 57 Islamic states so this means he is a Muslim.  Oh and they are so goddamned ignorant and say when Obama was sworn in as Senator he took his oath on a Koran.  NO!  YOU FUCKING FOOLS!  A black man who IS a Muslim DID take his oath on a Koran but it WASN'T Obama.  It was Congressman Keith Ellison from Minneapolis, and I would damn well hope that you wouldn't be so ignorant to say that racist phrase, "well they all look alike."  Oops, do you know how many times I have heard that when I have corrected people?  I hate how people are blindly going to vote for McCain simply because their church body endorses the Republican party.  The Christian church hasn't mixed well with government since...EVER!  I hate how people who are Christian don't even know the basic tenents of their faith and somehow seem to think that McCain is the Christian's best choice.  Didn't Christ say something about helping your fellow man?  Did Christ say something about loving ALL people as you love yourself?  Then I suppose we could get into all the other Biblical teachings that the Democratic party either embraces or goes against.  I dislike how people make an issue of abortion in elections.  Abortion will never be made illegal.  It just won't.  Didn't Bush promise to overturn Roe v. Wade?  Yes, he did and he has a few more months to get that accomplished.  There are Democrats that are pro-life or anti-choice and Republicans that are anti-life or pro-choice depending on how you look at the issue.  I hate how McCain is a liar and tries to change what he said a day later.  I heard you say our economy was strong you old fool.  I hate how Obama has no experience.  I am getting sick of all this shit.  Personally the word change has become a word that makes me cringe worse than when I hear words like fuck or cunt or piss or shit.  As Jello Biafra once said, "If voting actually did change anything in this country, it would be made illegal."  I am a hypocrite sometimes. 
    I need some motivation to get me through another day. 






    And of course, I leave you with a quote from Ayn "Fucking Pretentious" Rand.  Sometimes I feel like I am the reincarnation of Sam Kinnison.  I needed to vent.  If I don't vent from time to time I get headaches. 

    Tomorrow, I'll be back, will you?

    Fuck you, Fox News, fuck you and your yellow journalism.  Fox News is what happens when a person who owns tabloid newspapers tries to run a serious news organization.  God that kills me, Fox News and serious news organization in the same sentence.

  • I hope that everyone had a great weekend.  Mine was pretty decent.  I didn't really talk much about it in my last two posts.  It was an atypical weekend for me.  Saturday, I decided to go shopping with my parents.  Well I didn't actually go shopping.  They dropped me off at my friends' house.  I don't think I have been able to see them since the middle part of July.  I guess our schedules got the best of us in the latter part of the summer, that and my health.  I feel bad about seeing people when I feel so ill and I definitely don't want to pass any cold on to an expecting mother.  Well we sat and caught up and enjoyed some Schell's Stout.  That beer was great.  We exchanged gifts.  My mom knits and when she found out they were expecting she went to work on a baby blanket.  I received 2 6 packs of Schell's Hefeweizen.  I was in heaven.  We listened to some Hold Steady and was introduced to a song that perfectly fit the town where we went to college.  Look for their song "One for the Cutters".  I will have to add it to my audio blog in the upcoming days.  It's not working right now. 

    I think the best part of my visit was what I was asked.  I am going to be the godfather.  It is such an honor to be a godfather.  This will be the first time as godfather well unless you count...too much info.  Anyway I am really excited for this.  I really am at a loss for words.  I am scared and at the same time calm, yes, it's strange.  I just hope I don't mess things up.  I have a fear of holding babies so I will let the godmother do that task.  Now I need to find myself an Italian tailored suit and one of those cool scarves and maybe a matching fedora.  I also figured out while visiting that I was actually in choir for 8 of my 10 semesters of college.  So I don't want to muff things up by singing any Louis Prima, Dean Martin, or Frank Sinatra.  I also hope that they don't serve any oranges

    So when I got home I cracked open a beer and relaxed on my back porch.  One beer led to another 2.  I was feeling pretty swell.  Then some kids came riding by on their bikes and jumped off and ran into my yard and picked apples off my tree and started throwing them at the stray cat who has been hanging around my house.  Well I started screaming at the little creeps and they ran away.  I then clicked my tongue and the cat came running.  I held my hand out and he came right up and started rubbing against me.  Then he wanted some attention.  My cats came running to the window and were craning their necks to see what I was doing with this other cat.  I got some food for him because his ribs were prominent but he didn't eat.  I opened my back porch door and he looked like he wanted to come in but one of my neighbors started up their car and that spooked him so he ran away.  I went in and got some food for myself.  I went back out with another beer to enjoy my supper.  One of my neighbors walked over and I thought I was going to get an earful about yelling at kids but this guy said, "Oh man, I see you out here every once in awhile drinking beer.  Do you like beer?"  I said well yes I enjoy beer.  He then commented that I must not drink regular beer.  I said no and that I enjoy craft beer and microbrews and imports over the watered stuff like Bud.  He laughed.  He invited me over to their house for a party.  Well who am I to resist such hospitality?  They had their craft brew...Coors, Bud Light, and High Life.  I hit the High Life.  After a few beers, they started saying they needed to go out and have some fun.  I heard some one behind me say, "let's go tipping."  YEAH!  We piled into a pick up truck and headed out to one of their step-dad's farms.  The cows were in the field sleeping.  I crept up on one and got into my three point stance and had at it.  I blasted that cow in the side.  The cow went down easier than what I remember.  I landed on top of the cow as it was struggling and I bounced off and then the cow stood up and ran .  We had a good laugh and then decided to go back.  We get there and I talk a few of the young ladies up and realize that I am the oldest person in house.  I am 28 and I think the next oldest person was 21.  Oh well, I had a lot of fun and I am trying to feel younger and it was nice to have a beer with people who didn't refer to me as that college boy .  I then called it a night and that is when I saw The Chemical Brothers video.  No, I haven't turned into a redneck but here are some pics. 

    Redneck lawncare.

    Redneck porn.

    Skeet, the smell hound, has seen better days.

    The environmentally conscience rednecks travel around in their homemade Prius.

    Tank-tops are always fashionable for the redneck.  With gas prices the way they are, it's hard to give up your Busch Light, Marb Reds, and satellite dish so you can watch NASCAR in HD, here we see the frugal redneck using an old pair of Hanes underwear to fashion a tank-top.  You wear the backside of the underwear up front so skidmarks could be easily explained as food stains.

    Here we see a redneck limo at the redneck Trader Joe's.

    I think I will be playing redneck horseshoes soon.

    Redneck root cellar/bomb shelter.

    Someone lives in a classy city complete with a redneck taxi service.

    Redneck dog carrier.

    Time to go to the mobile mansion.

    The sad thing is that I see this quite often in these parts and that includes the flag.  That is the easiest way for me to tell if a person is an ignorant fool, fly the flag of the Confederacy.  I met a girl this summer and her ex had that flag and she had some pics of her with the flag and I got upset.  My greatgrandfather did fight for the Union afterall.  Anyway she tried to explain that the her ex only had it because he was a rebel against society.  WTF!  Later on she admitted that he was a racist and a klan member so I said goodbye because I am not "pure" white so I felt threatened to be around her.

    Yum!  Redneck seafood.

    This is for anyone who wants to go ridin' through the swamp.

    Redneck parents call this a timeout.

    Well that is all for today.  I need to get some recycling outside.  Tomorrow I will be back with a motivational post.

  • Bellow Really

    A friend of mine on myspace wrote this and I am borrowing it.  Sweet Jesus!  I hate Bill O'Reilly.

    So my wife brought a TIME magazine piece to my attention tonight...



       
    On the latest issue, Page 8 has a "10 QUESTIONS WITH BILL O'REILLY
    PIECE." Time asks readers to email questions so the entire interview
    with the subject is entirely from the public.


    I would love to share with you now question number 8:

    "Given
    your defense of Sarah Palin's judgement on Bristol Palin, do you take
    back what you said about Jamie Lynn Spear's pregnancy-that her parents
    were to blame?"

                                                   - Emil Caillaux, Lima

    O'Reilly:
    "When I talked about the Spears parents, I said the parents were
    pinheads because they didn't supervise their young daughters. I stand
    by that remark. There's no evidence that the Palins did not supervise
    their daughter or their other children."

    Seriously? As my wife so delicately put it...

    "So...what, did they supervise her f**ing her boyfriend?"


    "Oh, Tahd..I jus don'no... Aigh think she should move ahround more dontcha think?"
      
    Keep
    in mind. I've said it before and I'll say it again... I could care less
    she's got a teenage pregnant daughter. Regardless of the old argument
    that she is not paying enough attention to her family, I would rather
    stick to the point that her policies and record are Cuckoo for Cocoa
    puffs.

       The point of this blog is to further expand on the
    fact that when staunch supporters of the right are caught in hypocrisy,
    they have nothing to say except the most unbelievable, wonderfully
    stupid things. It gets us giddy over here in the household.

    If you were able to read this blog, congratulations! You are already smarter than Bill "disgrace to the Irish name" O'Reilly!
