My Day of Music

It has finally arrived. The day I have longed for, the day I have dreamed about. The day I can do all of my Christmas shopping for my family online and not even have to leave the comfort of my office. My son has named just a few things that he wants for Christmas, and they are all found online. He has decided that he wants to collect vinyl record albums, which I have to confess is kind of a cool thing to collect, and he is very much into classic rock, so I ordered these three for him today:






Of course I could not buy him music without getting myself some as well, so this is what I got for me:

A Challenge

For 19,856 points, and without looking it up, who said:

Some days you just can't get rid of a bomb.

5:43 a.m.

That is what the clock says right now. I have been up for two hours and here I am, trying to stay occupied until time to go to work. I only have three words for this.. Path Et Ic.

I would really love to know why I can't sleep like normal people. I was sleeping fine, but then the dude and his wife who moved into the house I grew up in in Oklahoma City (and parked their gigantic RV in the driveway), they started preaching at me about church. Damn dreams.

I have found myself less than inspired lately. I caught myself last night looking for filler crap to post, but that isn't very cool. I only post inspirational filler crap.

I think I'll go try to sleep for another hour. Maybe something will come to me while I'm unconscious.

Have You Ever.......

Gone to bed, and just before falling asleep, had the most BRILLIANT idea for a novel.... so brilliant that you knew you wouldn't forget it the next day, and you go to sleep content, knowing what you were going to do, only to wake up the next morning and not remember one bit of the plot?

Ummmmmm.. Neither have I.

Controversial Toys

Crazy for You Bear from Vermont Teddy Bear. This toy brought on such an outcry from mental health organizations that the Vermont Teddy Bear company discontinued it. Too bad, I think its kind of cute.


Trash Talker Elton. He says such inspiring phrases as, "Want to be my Rectum Romeo?" and, "Ahhh, don't worry, I won't tell anyone you're gay. HE'S GAY!!" You can see him in action here.


Trash Talker Bubba. Yes I know it is from the same company, but the things he says just had to be shared. "Meet my sister, uh.... I mean my wife." and "Isn't your cousin a nice piece of ass?" Classic. Available here.



Ballsy Bear. He says things such as, "I've got a stiffy that just won't quit," and "I swear she told me she was 18!" This is truly an educational toy. Every kid should have one.


And finally, I saved the best for last... Answer Me Jesus. It is the religious icon version of the Magic 8 Ball. Ask Jesus a question and flip him over and you will get your answer:



Okay this is it, I think I am officially going to hell now. If you guys need me, I'll be kneeling beside my bed, praying for my soul.

Ouch

I am in bed but I can't sleep well. I have an ear ache. Aren't we supposed to stop having those once we pass the age of 2??

Anyway, pity me whilst I suffer in my bed of affliction. And say hi if you like, I have the chat thingy on over ----------------------> there.

;-)

We're #7!

This blog is #7 search hit for "ex-girlfriend on Bothwell Glasgow." I think that is an important search, so I am going to endeavor to become #1 for that one.

Its my goal in life.

Mwa Ha Ha Ha Ha

I went to my friendly neighborhood monopoly conglomerate (Walmart) for the day after specials. I picked up one thing that was not on their sale list, because I needed it. It is a padded backpack for my laptop, and it also has a mini mouse (its sooo cute), and a USB hub (nifty).

So I got up to the check out and of course, I picked one up with no label on it, so the cashier sent another person back to check the price. I didn't tell them how much it was supposed to be because I wasn't sure I picked up the right one (none of them were marked). So we wait. And wait. And then we continued to wait.

Finally, the girl calls and says she can't find any of them with prices, and there were no bar codes. The cashier rang it up at $5.

Life is good. :-)

Personal Ads

I found this ad on Craig's List. It made me giggle. ;-)

I am a big jerk who is totally self absorbed. I would tell you about my job but who really cares. I would tell you about some of my previous life experiences but I think you couldn't handle most of it. I don't fit in, in any situation, and do not enjoy staying at home. I also despise going out for a "night on the town". Laughing is for losers and I see the humor in no situations. I am extremely outgoing at first but then get very shy once I get to know you.

I bring a total lack of respect into any relationship and believe that playing games and deceitful tactics are the bedrock cornerstones of any successful encounter with the opposite sex. When you find out I have been cheating on you the only comment I expect to hear is "Well Played".

I am looking for a woman without any goals in life who is not very smart and would enjoy being in a relationship that is full of lies, cheating and stealing (please bring a large bank account to the relationship or at least a home I could leverage behind your back). It would also help if you have absolutely no expectations of me. And of course hygiene is completely optional.

If you "get" this profile then feel free to contact me. If the words "holler at your girl" with at least one misspelled word (i.e. holla, atcha or gurl) are anywhere in your profile, then please remove the statement before contacting me. I won't tolerate jackasses and the inclusion of this phrase ensures this is what you are.

Happy Thanksgiving

Now... time to go put my cute little turkey in the oven. ;-)

One of my Favorite Haunts

I live in Savannah. Anyone who has ever come to Savannah for touristy purposes will recognize the name of Bonaventure Cemetery. If you have seen the movie Midnight in the Garden of Good & Evil, you will have seen a bit of it. It is supposedly haunted, but since it closes at 5:00 in the afternoon I doubt I'll ever get to see any ghosts, unless they happen to be early birds.



There is good reason that Bonaventure Cemetery is a tourist area, it is absolutely beautiful there. It is almost like walking through an outdoor museum, witih all the statues, and the hanging moss. It sits against a saltwater river and sometimes, if you are very lucky, you will see dolphins there. I saw a baby dolphin once. Being born and raised a landlubber, I was in awe.

There are activities that went on here that I think back fondly on. ;-)



More pictures here if you are interested.

I may go out there this weekend and take my own pictures. I couldn't find any of the stained glass.

New Medication

I am told that this is just the thing to cure my social awkwardness.

*Insert Giggle Here*

Our friendly neighborhood Curmudgeon has finally, after some cajoling (okay nagging), posted his streaking story. I would add to the collection, but I have never gone streaking. I am the picture of modesty and purity (snicker). Anyway, I will work on getting him to post the video, although he says he was alone at the time so who would be videoing this escapades.

Does anyone else have a streaking story that they are longing to share? I will be more than happy to critique the technique.

;-)

Email of the Day

Another oldie, but still a good one.

*Dog Applicant*

A sign was hung in an office window. It read:

Help wanted.
Must type 70 words a minute.
Must be computer literate.
Must be bilingual.
An equal opportunity employer.

A dog was ambling down the street and saw the sign. He looked at it for a moment, pulled it down with his mouth, and walked into the manager's office, making it clear he wished to apply for the job.

The office manager laughed and said, "I can't hire a dog for this job."

The dog pointed to the line: "An equal opportunity employer."

So the manager said, "OK, take this letter and type it." The dog went off to the word processor and returned a minute later with the finished letter, perfectly formatted.

The manager said, "Alright, here's a problem. Write a computer program for it and run it."

Fifteen minutes later, the dog came back with the correct answer.

The manager still wasn't convinced. "I still can't hire you for this position. You've got to be bilingual."

The dog looked up at the manager and said, "Meow."

See?? I TOLD You I Don't Have an Accent!

I haven't posted any quizzes in a long long time. I think its time.

What American accent do you have? Your Result: The West Your accent is the lowest common denominator of American speech. Unless you're a SoCal surfer, no one thinks you have an accent. And really, you may not even be from the West at all, you could easily be from Florida or one of those big Southern cities like Dallas or Atlanta.

My New Toy

I finally was in enough desperate need of retail therapy, that I went and bought a laptop. Not the one I posted about earlier though, I got a better version.


This is the one I got.

I have to say I am very impressed with it, plus, until I get my wireless router set up, I can "borrow" my neighbor's wireless connection. He seems to be a very generous guy. The only thing I am having a problem with is that it is set up for dual monitor, and I can't figure out how to change it. I may have to actually open the manual (ohmygawd).

This is very cool, I am blogging from my bed. Absolutely sublime.

Trivia Time!

"She's my Rushmore, Max."

For 5,233 points, tell me where the above quote is from. For an extra 189 points, tell me who said it.

~~Update~~

Crankster is the lucky winner of 5,233 points, as well as the 189 bonus points. These points are redeemable for a free meal at Waffle House*.

The answer, of course, is Rushmore (now don't you guys feel silly, the answer was in the question), and the person saying it was Bill Murray's character. Rushmore is one of my favorite movies, very quirky... I seem to like very quirky, which is probably why I like all of you guys. (HAHAHAAA)

Anyway, Congratulations to the Crankster!

*No Waffle House Restaurants are actually participating in this contest, said free meal is redeemable only at the Waffle House on Abercorn Street in Savannah, and only if I am informed in advance so I can meet you there to pay for it. ;-)

Friday Funnies

In my quest to start the weekend right, I have included the Trunk Monkey videos, more for my own entertainment than anything else. These things are just plain funny. I need a Trunk Monkey.








(I think Crankster should seriously think about this one.)





Breathe with the monkey...... HAHAHAHA HA HA HA HA HAAAAA

Happy Birthday To Youuuu...

Happy Birthday to the BikerBabe! I bet you thought I forgot....
