Musings from a Broncos Game.....

I became a season ticket holder to the Broncos this year after about eight years on the waiting list. Yesterday's game was the coldest I've been to yet, including light intermittent snow flurries in the 4th quarter. At halftime I had to go buy a hat and a second blanket. I'm a big man and I handle the cold pretty well but yesterday I couldn't take it anymore. The wind was blowing straight at us from the north as a cold front moved through during the 1st quarter.

If you're ever at the Broncos game steer clear of Tito's Taco Hut(or something like that). Spent $12(including guac and sour cream) on a burrito called the El Jefe which was square. Burritos are not square but this one was. I got the steak(carne asada) and what little steak there was included a large hunk of grizzle. I crave Chipolte burritos and they are three times the size of this burrito at half the price. I know it's the stadium and you're going to pay more but at least make the burrito into a cylinder and cut out the grizzle for crying out loud.

Cheerleaders were bundled up to the hilt and there was no cleavage shots even with the binoculars. Could not look through the binoculars after halftime as I was shaking too much even with the two blankets, a hat, gloves, jacket and a sweatshirt on.

Hot chocolate by the time it makes it up to my seat 1 row from the top in the southstands is merely luke warm chocolate.

Squirrels live in Mile High Stadium and one scored twice during the game, the squirrel(or maybe there was two) actually ran onto the field twice(once in each endzone) and ran across the goal line. We cheered as up to that point the Broncos gave us nothing to cheer about.

Stadium was as empty as I've ever seen it. They normally announce the attendance and we boo at the no shows, no attendance number yesterday.

I'm going to need to get warmer clothes for these winter games, maybe a snowmobile outfit including goggles.

Oh yeah the Broncos lost, again.....

What are you doing for Thanksgiving.....

I was asked this recently in a text message and so I responded:

"Watching football, crank calling Indian reservations & eating turkey pot pie while wearing nothing but a pilgrim hat, same thing I do every year."

Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

Damn you space bastard...you killed my pine....

Ever since the Consigliere moved in, my trees just haven't been the same. Now initially I figured he was relieving himself on the trees. He denied it completely of course. Now at the same time he also setup his office in my basement(hence the blog name) and installed a wireless network in the home. After reading this article maybe I was too quick in judging his bathroom habits, but I none the less can still blame the Consigliere for my trees' condition.

Title of the post is from "Back to the Future" when Marty Mcfly runs over Old Man Peabody's pine tree with the Delorean.

(the photo kinda looks like my dad if he were to be screaming with a shotgun, I suppose only the raccoon on the deck would know for sure)

Speedo & Flip Flop protest...

Another individual has had it with the TSA security measures and stripped to his underwear to show he was hiding nothing and got arrested for it. Its time for all of us to wear nothing but speedos and flip flops to the airport. Who's with me?

I could never get any takers....

A "woman" has been arrested in Idaho for performing fake breast examinations in local bars. I say "woman" because I guess this lady use to be a dude. I've got nothing against breast exams in bars, I've tried to perform several myself but the women all refused.

If you touch my Junk........

I'm sure you've all seen or heard about this.

And Now......
Top Ten other things you could say at the airport instead of "I'll have you arrested"

If you touch my junk.....

10. you'll owe me at least dinner.
9. do I get double my airline miles?
8. can I at least keep my over sized shampoo & conditioner?
7. you'll owe me $20 for a feelsy.
6. we'll have to get married.(Valid in Connecticut, Iowa, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Vermont, and Washington, D.C.)
5. please tell me if you think it feels infected.
4. please tell the lady behind me that it will be worth her while.
3. should I cough to make it feel like I'm at the doctor's office.
2. do I have to march in the gay pride parade with you next year.

and the number one other thing you could say....

1. can I at least request that a female TSA employee touch my junk instead?

Better yet why not just have a dedicated area of female strippers to search the men and Chippendale's to search the women, lets make flying fun again. Bonus, this idea guarantees no Muslim terrorist would ever fly again.

I've solved the Budget Deficit, How about you?

These are not the missiles you are looking for......

This is the "Official" government statement of the
supposed missile launch off the coast of California:

"Swamp gas from a weather balloon was trapped in a
thermal pocket and reflected the light from Venus."

Nothing to see here, move along........

The story as it where. Typical government cover up,
can't even come up with a good cover story.

Jimmy McMillans Vote Count Wasn't Too Damn High

I love this guy, but sadly he did not win the New York Governor's seat.

Watch the video

He did beat the escort madam Kristen Davis though:

See the results

Happy Halloween

It's not a hat its a horn!

My neighbors said to me that that they live next to a disturbed

individual........I gotta find out who they're talking about.

McRib Mystery Explained (partially)

The Godfather and I are huge fans of this mystery McDs sandwich. He also has blogged about its pork goodness/elusiveness recently. Well, NPR has researched the subject and have documented their findings in this article and podcast (its a good listen): Fan Alert: The Wild McRib Has Been Sighted
There is also google maps mashup tool (user contributions) for locating their availability: McRib Locator

Would you vote for Rich Whitey?

Found this at another blog and thought it was too funny. The fact that it mostly occurred at predominantly minority polling places makes you wonder if it was intentional. Can you see a minority individual going into vote and having a choice between several candidates and one of them is Rich Whitey. I don't see him getting any votes in these wards.

Denver Hosting Nascar Race......sort of

Good news for the Godfather!
Watch the press conference here:

And watch the other related videos from the same episode! They are all greatness. And how about their corporate sponsor?!?!?
Best part about this South Park parody is Nascar drivers get it. They are not mad and actually appreciate the publicity. They know that nothing is sacred with South Park writers......

Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge

This bridge engineering is greatness and an awesome tribute to one of my favorite American heros! The Godfather took me to see the construction a year ago.
Hoover Dam bypass bridge dedication planned next week

Going Postal..

The postal service union has determined that thousands of mailed out ballots for the unions own election have been lost in the mail. I'm sorry, buts thats funny.

I continue to use the mail for bill paying, hey I'm old school, because I like the act of sitting down and seeing where all my money goes to when I write out my checks. I think it helps reinforce that I need to spend less. If I just clicked on a button to pay a bill I don't think it would register as deeply as when I write out a check. I do have two bills that do get taken out directly out of my account and it just doesn't seem to be the same.

Congrats to Kim Jong Il's Offspring!

On their well deserved promotions to Senior (4 Star) Generals.
Kim Jong Il Promotes Youngest Son and Daughter
N Korea is very well run country and is destined for greatness based on Kim Jong's leadership and these recent promotions.
And I love the fact that his kids were educated outside that country.
