  • Boners in Church

    So after drinking and celebrating my ass off because of a Badgers win I felt the need to attend church.  If I believed in those 7 deadly sins, I probably committed all 7 this past Saturday.  Let's start off with lust.  I lusted after many women.  Every time I turned my head, I saw a different woman who could be classified as the world's most attractive woman but then I think that was because I think I consumed half a keg at the pregame so there may have been a bit of a beer goggle effect going on there.  But then I'm also a sucker for a girl who displays "Wisconsin" across her chest.  As for gluttony, I found a VFW that was sponsoring an all you can eat chicken feed for the low price of $8.  I think I could also cover lust with that one.  The 80+ year old woman dishing up chicken asks, "So what do you want?"
    "Well I love breasts and legs."
    "I know you do but what pieces of chicken do you want."
    "Ummm breasts and legs."
    "OH, I thought you were one of those dirty fat boys."
    What the fuck is a dirty fat boy?  Is it a late 80s rap group of morbidly obese gangsta rappers?  Anyway I can't tell you how much chicken I devour because I lost count.  They also doubled up on starches by offering french fries and potato salad.  I swear that potato salad was the best I've ever had but then it isn't my mom's vinegar based salad that she marinates overnight.  It's fantastic.  I hate potato salad that has eggs and mustard in it.  I don't know why I despise it with such a passion but I do.  Then I ate half a loaf of bread.  I thought I couldn't get any more gluttonous but then I found out that glasses of beer were 50 cents.  Hot damn!  I was riding the high life with Miller High Life.  I love that stuff and I don't care what you say about Budweiser being the best.  The only way I would drink a Budweiser was if it came from Czech Republic where Budweiser originated.  Fuck that water shit they call beer.  I'm from Wisconsin, I drink Schlitz and have survived so I know something about beer.  Speaking of which I am loving this stuff I picked up the other day from the Potosi Brewery.  It's called Cave Ale.  They produce a pumpkin ale during the fall but it's only on tap and I haven't seen any establishments that have it outside of Potosi and I'll be damned if I ever go back to Potosi.  That town sucks.  My most memorable freshman football game was against Potosi.  I was an animal on the field and if you did something outside of the rules against me, you could expect that I would return it ten fold.  I was playing nose tackle and on the first snap of the game, the center threw an uppercut and connected with my jaw.  The next play I slap his helmet and it flew off and I got the tackle for a loss of 5 yards.  Third down.  The center threw another punch and he tried to connect with my speed bag.  I jumped back before he hit my junk.  Well I was pissed that he dared to strike at my genitals so I grabbed him and body slammed him to the ground.  Now, the field at Potosi was horrible.  It was like playing on gravel.  I don't think it had rained all fall which was why the field was so hard but it also could have been because the field was right next to a corn field.  When extra points were kicked, players had to scramble through the corn to find the footballs.  Would you like someone throwing a punch at your cock and balls and you aren't wearing a cup?  I never wore a cup during football.  I said it was against my religion even though I went to a religious school that didn't preach against ball protection.  I just could find a cup in which the goods fit.  So the center screamed "Fuck you, you fat fuck!" 
    I stepped on his facemask with my massive cleats and stepped up with all my weight.  Whistles blow.  The referee saw me and if he didn't he would have been a blind fool because he was standing right next to us.  15 yards personal foul defense #75 automatic first down.  My coach pulled me out for the next play and said I can't do stuff like that.  I explained about the balls.  "Oh nevermind.  Get back in there but don't get caught doing anything illegal."  This was the guy we called Pit because he was bald and for some reason his head reminded people of roll-on deodorant.
    As for greed, well I was wishing that Wisconsin could have the success that Ohio State has during the regular season.  I wouldn't want the Buckeyes' luck during the bowl season because that is flat-out pathetic.  And aren't greed and envy the same thing?  And why is it that I have two commandments for coveting?
    Sloth...imagine me, a fat, ugly, straight guy, who is loaded on chicken, potato salad, and half a keg of Miller High Life.  I'm moving very slowly and actually laying on every curb I could find.  I guess that's what you may call sinful.
    I burned with wrath as I saw Ohio State fans invaded MY house.  You don't come into my house and wear the wrong colors.  You just don't do it.  But if people cheering for the opposing side didn't wear their clothing Badger fans wouldn't be able to scream "Fuck You! Eat Shit!" at them throughout the game or at least that's why I think they do it.
    I guess pride was exhibited in great amounts after the game especially while driving around I had my head hanging out the window singing "Sweet Caroline" and "Varsity" and saying funny things about bullying and legislating self-esteem.
    So that all brings me to my church service.  I was sitting there listening ever so gallantly which is near difficult for me with the ADD and all.  The pastor started talking about the book of Ruth and marriage and what not.  I got to thinking about marriage and how I wish I was married.  That may be greed and envy.  I see guys mistreat women and cheat and what have you and that angers me because I don't have that and I doubt I ever will because as mentioned earlier...fat...ugly...loaded on chicken.  I tell guys to appreciate what they have and not just because I will have a shorter life expectancy because I am single but because marriage truly is a blessing.  Of course I'm probably not ready for marriage because I think of sex and marriage.  Then I get thinking of sex and one thing leads to another and I am pitching a tent and of course the lady sitting next to me notices.  I managed through the service but afterward she asks me "What's up?"
    "Well the Badgers won which is a great thing"  I said that in a whisper voice.
    "That's not the only thing."  And then she got up and left. 
    I suppose that is a horrible.  So to cure my embarrassment, loss of voice, and lack of Xanga, I went with my mom and aunt to some apple orchards.  We visited 4 orchards in a 5 mile stretch.  The first two were pretty lame but they were teeming with people.  I was shocked at how much all these places were charging for apples.  At one orchard they wanted $15 for a 16 inch apple pizza.  I was game however it wouldn't have made it home.  They also had free cider samples and free apple samples.  I felt somewhat guilty for enjoying a particular strain of apple called a Dicks Delicious.  One place was charging $20 for a bag of apples and of course this was the largest orchard.  There were hundreds of people there.  The only redeeming quality this place had was that they had free apple slices.  I must have ate about 3 or 4 apples.  So not only am I a fat, ugly, drunk straight guy loaded with chicken, potato salad, and Miller High Life but I'm a fat, ugly, drunk straight guy loaded with chicken, potato salad, Miller High Life and apples.  They also had lock boxes around certain products.  You could "purchase" things on the honor system.  Honor...I have none.  I get erections in church.  The first item"purchased" was an apple cider slushie.  Damn.  It was excellent and for the low suggested price of 50 cents but for the actual price of nothing.  I wandered around and scoffed at the price of apples.  Who the fuck would pay $20 for a bag of apples?  Tourists, that's who.  The place was teeming with tourists.  I sweat one lady was pulling up a flatbed truck for all the apples she purchased.  All these people had shopping carts filled with apples.  Someone asked me if I was going to buy any.  I said that I didn't need apples because I grew my own and that I was here for the slushies.  I wandered around and found another sample stand.  Apple barbecue sauce...not good.  Apple, cherry, and jalapeno jam...AWESOME!  I think I ate half a jar but the stupid thing was that they had pretzels instead of crackers but then pretzels are cheaper.  What the hell is wrong with America when you pay more for crackers than pretzels?  I then saw a sight to behold.  Dozens upon dozens of donuts piled high.  I think I started singing the Hallelujah chorus.  These were no ordinary donuts.  No, these donuts were...and remember where I was...made with apple cider.  Cake donuts made with apple cider donut (see what I did there, I think that classifies as a malapropism) sound that good but they were excellent.  They were asking for 65cents per donut or $1.15 for a donut and a self serve cup of coffee or $1.25 for a donut and a self serve cup of hot apple cider.  Since I was still drinking on my apple cider slushie, I didn't want anything hot to drink.  My donut would be eaten with a cold mouth.  MMMMM for the low price of nothing, I enjoyed a couple donuts.  They were tasty and covered in cinnamon and sugar.  I should have bought a dozen but I'd rather eat them for free. 
    On the drive home, I thought about how I was going to write about this on Xanga but I soon thought I shouldn't think about Xanga while driving because two deer jumped in front of the car.  It is getting closer to deer hunting season for me and I have not yet decided if I would walk through the woods looking for a deer to fill my freezer with meat or if I would head to the casino and look for a deer hunting widow.  Decisions, decisions...maybe I should make one of those poll things to see which I should do. 
    Today, I was at a funeral of a cousin who died from cancer on Thursday.  It was a blessing because he had just been through hell.  A few years ago he had prostate and bladder cancer and they thought they had it all but fast forward to this past winter, he has prostate cancer again and he is bleeding in his bladder.  He was in so much pain.  On October 4th they told him he had less than a month to live because the cancer had spread to the liver, bones, and points elsewhere.  I was sitting in the same place where the day before I had a massive throbber but this I didn't have that reaction.  I cried.  I don't know why.  I was trying to sing the bass part to "How Great Thou Art" but after I saw his wife break down in tears, I lost it.  That's fucking love and that is what I want yet I don't want to leave someone in that much pain.  Fuck.

    Welcome to my mind and madness.  If you made it through that, you get the idea of what my mind is like with the ADD and I've found that as I get older, it gets worse.

    The purrfect couple aka my destiny

    I felt like Batman in church.  It's a dilemma.

    He blamed it on a liberal driving a Prius.

    Damn dog got into my stash.

    Since everyone talks about plagiarism on Xanga, SOMEONE STOLE MY WEDDING INVITATION IDEA!  But then if you read the above you will know why I will never marry and I'm sure the idea of a Robocop wedding invitation has just scared off any interested ladies.

    Do it!  Let's start with Xanga headquarters.  I demand better!

  • Ever considered writing young adult literature?

  • @socialdemocracyforall - 

    LOL...I think my writing took a turn to being more like this crap after I took a children's literature class in college.

  • I'm sorry for your loss. I have ADD and it is so hard to concentrate on what the service is about. I notice kids putting boogers on the pews, women adjusting their bras or their legs, guys shifting their dicks in their pants, old people nodding off, teenagers whispering texting or writing secrets to their girlfriends or boyfriends and lastly looking at the hot guys or women and wondering what they have under their clothes. I know im going to hell or I'm getting a lecture from God on the purpose of what his house is for. However I would like to say it is a place of worship and I don't see why I can't worship a couple of people in my mind in a sexual fantasy. Thank God I'm not a guy

  • The opening sentence is awesome! Made me laugh right off the top. Jalapeno jam is the bomb!

  • @sw33tw3asl3 - 

    Thankfully I haven't noticed any texting maybe that's because I've been guilty of doing that from time to time. I haven't since I got my new phone because I haven't figured out how to shut the sound off and just have it vibrate. I can't sit in the same pew with my parents because they both end up sleeping.

  • @klberry514 - 

    This jam was the best. You got the initial sweetness from the apple and cherry and then you are hit with the heat from the jalapeno. If a small jar wasn't $5, I would have bought some. I just stocked up on free samples.

  • first: 50 cent beer. my goodness that's amazing.

    second: damn boner in church. that's embarrassing.

  • @TheSecretLifeOfPandas - 

    There was a bar in my college that had 25cent taps on certain nights of the week. Those were wild nights however the townsfolk overtook the bar and all the college crowd stopped going.
    At least I wasn't standing in front of the church.

  • I'm so sorry for your loss. And the ADD...that's a tough one to battle every day.
    Your "mind and your madness"revealed a lot of honesty and pain, but, also, humor. I could relate to some of what you shared. I know it probably doesn't help much...but there are more people out here who understand than you might realize. Hugs!

    PS...I love that you were singing "my" song.

  • This comment is "503 service unavailable" tainted: Maybe the lady had ADD? tsk, looking at your pants during church. She should be ashamed. I bet she went home, ran a bubble bath, watched her grow sponge absorb water and secretly thought of you. (Yikes! I don't know what she looked like; sorry for the image! Pretend she's Avril. :)

    Is your town too small? What a question to ask after thinking about your church staff. Um, where are all the girls? Women? What are they? Losers? Are you willing to bend (heh) for someone slightly over weight as you are yourself over weight? So many times I see people who have character (euphemism alert!), and they're looking for something inhuman in a mate. I mean.... Keep your standards high, but don't let the sweetheart walk away just because she's carrying a little extra weight (maybe even in the wrong places).

    Have you seen Love Actually?

  • I'm sorry about your cousin... but it does sound like a blessing since he was in so much pain. 

    also, I must say I am more than a little impress ..er I mean, shocked that you managed to commit all 7 of those deadly sins in only one weekend... madd skillz! ;)

    and speaking of the deadly sins, I found this pic last year, and I just love it (mainly because of the purty colors lol) :)

  • Thanks for that photo of Batman and that nice pair of jeans. I accidentally deleted her awhile ago, - she'd go great with my CN Tower photo. I just saw some pumpkin beer here too. It's a special batch made just for the fall - I might try one later today. They only come in large 750 ml bottles so a six pack should do.

    You could kill two birds (deer) with one stone. Go out and tie some 1/4 inch rope up to an apple tree, dangle a few apples from a big shark type fish hook. The deers will jump up to get the apples and get hooked, strangle then you could be away at the casino having fun at the same time. Also, if you like grouse or pheasant, just use 20 pound mono fish line with smaller hooks and use corn as bait. When you go check your lines tomorrow, I'm sure you'd have lots for the freezer.

  • Lord what a weekend you had. I think the apple orchard would be cool. Especially with free samples. Although it sounds like yours shouldn't have been free lol But I guess you could say you gave them great advertising.
    I'm surprised the lady at your church was rude enough to comment on your predicument.

  • I'm sorry for your loss.

    Boners in church happen. Nice to know there was a dirty old lady to catch it.

    Also, if things don't work out with my boy, I might marry you just to have the robocop wedding invitations...

  • I just heard that Barbara Billingsley and Tom Bosley died...wonder what celeb will be next.

  • Sorry about your cousin. This post was epic . . . I gotta say, getting a boner in church is bad, but I don't think god would hold it against you. Now the woman who felt it necessary to mention it . . . hmmmmm

  • @adamswomanlost - 

    Yeah I know there are people out there that understand me but it just seems like they are few and far between and if they understand me I just wish they would mention it. The mere mention would make things seem brighter...thanks.

    They sang it at the game acapella so it was stuck in my head. I'm sure you can find a video on youtube of it being sung.

  • @POETIC_ISIS - 

    Well she's not that much older than me, maybe 10 years or so. I think she loves listening to my stories about life because she didn't do the wild stuff in college but then she went to a public university.
    See this town I live in is about 1300 people. Most all the girls leave when they go off to college and if they come back they are always married. There are women here that have stuck around after high school but there is just something about them that turns me off.
    I am not discriminatory but I think women are against me. Oh well. Maybe I should abandon this and go live in my uncle's forest.

  • @Peridot21 - 

    Yeah, I was talking to the pastor about him this evening and how we had such a similar humor. My cousin was 75, probably the same age as one of my aunts. Anywho...he came up to me at church one Sunday and said, "Hey, Matt, guess what?" I looked at him knowing he was going to say something funny and said, "What?" "I'm sleeping with an 80 year old woman." "Better not let your wife find out." "Hell she knows, she just turned 80." Laughs were had.
    What can I say about sinning? I am Lutheran so I take what Luther said to heart...If you're going to sin, sin boldly. Oh and that pic is awesome, reminds me of all the IVs I've had.

  • @DickDoktorII - 

    I have to go out to my liquor store because someone told me they had some pumpkin ale in stock not brewed by Coors which is always a good thing.

    Hmmm I may have to try that trick with the deer but I worry that I'd catch a few Amish since they don't abide by state hunting regulations. My uncle fired shots at some last year. Picture an 80 year old farmer with a 3030 on his porch shooting above the Amish heads. He claims the gun has poor aim. They go anywhere the please and shoot as many deer as they want. One of these years, he's going to figure out how to shoot that gun.

    Oh that one photo of the CN Tower with the girl with twin towers on her chest...classic.

  • @NightlyDreams - 

    Yeah, free samples...my grocery store doesn't give free samples of food items new to the store or on special. They do however have free garlic toast and coffee and if you get there early they have free donut holes.
    In my photos, there is a photo of a billboard and it has a website so I'll post that for payback...eventually.

  • @quodmenutriut - 

    Well it was a blessing and he lived a full life.
    I don't know if this woman is able to be called old. I know her husband is ten years older than me so she is probably about that much older too. She has flirted with me on occasion but I wrote that off to her husband being a jerk.
    It's either Robocop wedding invitations or this will make an appearance at my wedding.

  • @jacksoncroons - 

    It really was a blessing. That fucking cancer took it's toll on him and it has raised more questions in my spiritual life than anything else.
    I hope god wouldn't hold a boner against me. That would be awkward.

  • @godfatherofgreenbay - 

    I vote both. Why not go for class all around?

  • I bet if we got together to go hunting we'd clean up or, possibly wind up in jail. Fuck. One year my friend Dan took me up to his Uncle Art's cattle ranch and between him, me, his cousins and brothers we hauled 23 animals out of the bush. No BS. Everyone was tagged up for a mule deer and a white tail plus a moose. The tractor was busy that weekend, dragging the fuckers off to the slaughter room I had built. Your Gramps sitting there with his "dirty 30" reminds me of Uncle Art. Damn, no wonder I get homesick and miss Alberta so much. I had lots of fun out there. Even in the winter there was lots to do. I went skiing, hunting or ice fishing every weekend. I think it's about time I ran away again.

  • @godfatherofgreenbay - aww lol that's nice that you two had that =) ...btw, for some reason i assumed your cousin was a lot younger, my bad ...oh, and re sinning boldly, it reminds me of an episode of Friends ...whiiiich, if i remember correctly, you said you didn't/don't watch ...soooo, nevermind. lol =P

  • @DickDoktorII - 

    My bet would be at the least we'd have confiscated guns. The DNR around here doesn't mess around. Some idiot tourists from Illinois came up here one summer and shot deer out of season and the DNR basically fined the piss out of them and took their boats and guns. I don't know if that sticks with them if they try to buy more guns.
    I was just driving up in their cornfields the other day to see if I could find any tracks. I saw cougar tracks so I got the hell out of there since I wasn't packing.

  • @Peridot21 - 

    On my mom's side of the family, I was one of the youngest for years and years. I was the youngest until I hit somewhere around 18 or so when one of my older cousins had a son and then he was the youngest and then 5 years later another cousin had a son. Oh and my mom was the youngest of all her siblings...7 total. My grandmother would've been 100 last year...she was the youngest of all her siblings...23 total? Her father, my great grandfather, fought in, as Southerners call it The War of Northern Aggression.

  • @godfatherofgreenbay - 

    A few years back some hunters from Michigan were near here, blasted 2 cows away and said they thought they were moose. I nearly pissed myself. There are no moose around here, you have to go a few hundred miles north. I saw the article about them going to court in "Outdoor Canada" - they were each fined 10 grand and had their guns and licenses pulled for 2 years. Hell, I should be out right now roaming the fields. It's picking season here! Two guys got nailed with 260 pounds of weed in their truck last night! It's been a great season - I bet there's tons of the shit out there and I know some choice spots. Maybe I'll put my Rambo gear on and go out later. :)

  • @DickDoktorII - 

    I figure the weed business is going to be pretty good to get into since I was just reading that the other day 105 TONS were confiscated at the U.S./Mexico border. I wonder what will happen if it gets legalized in California. I'd sign up to be a farmer.

  • I'm sorry about your loss man. Let that boner aside, which is kinda funny (that woman's reaction that is), it seemed like an awesome day.. I am sure that this doesn't happen very often, so you shouldn't count is as a sinful day. We all need some days of pure fun and of letting ourselves free to do all kinds of shit. I enjoyed reading this. You're a good person, mister!

  • @ccRowp - 

    Thanks...I sometimes get the feeling that when people say I'm good that I have the wool pulled over their eyes and they don't see the truly horrible person that I am.
    I wish I had more days like this. I used to when I was younger but old age is starting to make me mellow out and give me fewer opportunities for craziness.

  • @godfatherofgreenbay - 

    I think a lot of places are going away from the free samples due to people figuring it out that it could be potentially a free meal

  • @godfatherofgreenbay - 

    You really believe that you're a horrible person? How come? Btw i have a hard time figuring out your age..sometimes i think you're in your 20s and sometimes i think you're in your 40s..I can't explain it lol

  • This is officially the most ADD post you have ever made.

    The best part is because I also have ADD, I could completely follow it,

    I'm really sorry that your cousin had to suffer through such painful cancer. At least he's not suffering anymore.
