Hello Darkness My Old Friend.....

Sarah Palin will be the keynote speaker, as long as she doesn't cancel at the last minute, at the International Bowl Expo 2010. That's right a bowling convention. She should fit in well with that crowd of Joe "Six-Packs" and Jill "Meth-heads". Oh and the convention is in Vegas which is perfect for the family values crowd.

Whenever I think of bowling I think of "Kingpin" and the scene where Roy Munson has to have sex with the landlady to pay the rent after he is caught with the purse snatcher.

For your enjoyment, Kingpin Landlady Lovin, not actually a sex scene but the before and after, especially the after.

Electronics meets Adult Entertainment

Got a text message from my sister this week:
"Out of all the siblings im in the warmest climate i can see a volcano red mountains and arrr plenty of booty to plunder where im at"

I guessed Vegas, even if I had the hotel wrong as I thought she was at the Palazzo or the Venetian. Turns out she is staying at ti (Treasure Island).

After seeing this article I texted her back
"So are you in Vegas for the Consumer Electronics Show/CES or the Adult Entertainment Expo/porn show?"

Have to wait for her reply.

As for the Godfather and the Consigliere maybe we'll go next year if they're happening in the same weekend again.

In the Jailhouse now....

With balloon boy's father reporting to jail today, would it be wrong to send him a balloon bouquet to his cell?

For your listening pleasure, the Soggy Bottom Boys perform "In the Jailhouse Now"

Wasn't quite enough....

Well, we tried to help the Packers win by donning our cheese head top hat, using our cheese coozies and eating the appropriate Wisconsin food like aged cheddar, smoked fish and summer sausage but to no avail as the Packers lost to Arizona.

ALLAH, ALLAH, ALLAH

This so called religion of Islam is just nuts. They try to kill anyone that draws a picture of Mohammad, they've now firebombed Christian churches because the Christian churches used the word "Allah" in there publications to denote god, "Allah" is the Arabic word for god that predates the Islamic religion but the Islamic nut jobs want to say the word is theirs and theirs alone. If we firebombed a few mosques they would be up in arms calling for global jihad, but they seem to think its OK to fire bomb our churches and we seem to just let them. I'm quickly coming to the conclusion that this religion needs to not exist in our world.

So in conclusion Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah.....a little passive aggressive? Yeah probably.

Nappy New Near.....

Back from my sojourn to the childhood stomping grounds. Had a great week in Florida despite the cold weather, 4 cold fronts came through during our week long visit. I don't ever remember more than 1 cold front in a week in my 25 years of living in Florida, global warming anyone??. Got to visit with several old friends and church associates, man we're all getting old with grey showing in everyone's hair and beards. Took in the movie "Avatar" at the IMAX screen in Tampa. That was a great movie with the 3-D that made it look like you were right there in the jungle. Got to do a little gambling at the Seminole Hard Rock Casino in Tampa and won $10 at blackjack, others in the group won $350 and $150 playing the nickel slots.

Ate like a king at the parents condo including prime rib roast on Christmas, smoked fish from Ted Peters, oyster stew on Christmas Eve and surf and turf with the turf grilled on a George Foreman grill. It tasted like it had been cooked on an outside grill which really surprised me. Had some excellent seafood including oysters on the half shell in Bradenton at the "Anna Maria Oyster Bar" and also enjoyed Cobia for the first time at "Down the Hatch Seafood Co." at the southern tip of the Daytona Beach island at Ponce Inlet. We found this restaurant by using the Hertz Never Lost GPS unit in the rental car after our first choice was closed for the holidays. Normally I don't rent such things as I know my way around Florida but it came standard in the convertible we rented.

Took in Animal Kingdom at the house that the mouse built but was under impressed with it, maybe I'm too old for those parks. Did enjoy the Nemo musical though. Rented a convertible corvette for the trek through Florida but did not get to enjoy the top down as much as I wanted due to the coldness and my passenger complaining about the cold. It was a nice car, great guttural noises when you gave it some gas, but probably better for just a weekend jaunt as the luggage space is pretty none existent.

Great to be back in Denver where on arrival it felt warmer than Florida even though the temperature was 20 degrees cooler in Denver, ahhhh the power of humidity....makes if feel hotter in the summer and colder in the winter.

Go check out the vacation photos here.

McRibs are BACK.....for a limited time only,damn

It's McRib season again, yeeaahhhhh! Had my first taste of the porkie goodness today and even got a Coca-Cola glass in the deal. Of course I had it in the "Godfather" version, no pickles, extra onions and add cheese. I perfected this version when I worked for the neighborhood McD's in St. Pete FL. Ahhhh... the good old days, parties on Gandy Beach(not really a beach so much as it was just a sandy area on the side of the Gandy Causeway), Seagram's 7, and loose women(loosened by alcohol and herb). But alas I'm an adult now......

From the Pursuit of Happiness's "I'm an Adult Now"....

I can't take any more illicit drugs

I can't afford any artificial joy

I'd sure look like a fool dead in a ditch somewhere

With a mind full of chemicals

Like some cheese-eating high school boy

Check out the video

They just don't make songs like this anymore.

Octopus thinks he's a Pina Colada....

How funny is this . Read more with this article .

Magical Flying Bus Tour....

Sarah Palin is on her cross country book signing bus tour of America, or maybe not . How ignorant is this woman? If you are touting that you are just a regular real american and want to meet the people by doing a book signing bus tour to show how regular you are I think you need to use the bus for more that just a prop. Granted she is using the bus for trips within a certain distance but when that's done it's onto a Gulfstream corporate jet to another destination. If you want to call it a bus tour you plan the stops along a route that the bus would follow not hopscotch across the nation using the bus only as a prop. There is a serious disconnect in her mind as what a real american is, cause she ain't one. I also love that she will only visit cities that voted conservatively in the last election, as if conservatives are the only real americans. She did a signing in Colorado Springs, home of the ultra conservative "Focus on the Family" but bypassed more populous Denver because obviously there are no real americans in Denver because we voted for Mr. Obama in the metro area.

Also at the end of the video is a piece on an unexpected gift given to Goodwill, but one that won't be going out for the kids.

FOX News...maybe just a little unbalanced

Fox News Chicago likes pie. I'd like to see the Thanksgiving day spread at this news channel, I believe they might be able to end world hunger.

The case for term limits...

With the Senate vote coming up on whether to continue the Health care debate it seems that the members of Congress vote not on the wishes of its constituency that voted it into office or on their moral compass but on whether their vote will allow them to keep their office. If you got voted in on a certain platform you should stick with that platform whether it gets you re-elected or not. The job of a Congressional delegate is not to vote to get re-elected but to vote based on what got them there to begin with. It was never meant to be a life long position, it was to offer your service to the country. These people that have been in the Senate and House for ages don't have any new ideas, they are merely holding others from bringing new ideas to the table. Since the electorate can't seem to move these bums along I think its time to enact countrywide term limits for all higher offices not just the Presidency.

Well, that and Senator Byrd

Tastes like chicken....

Durango city council got a visit from a chicken, OK a person in a chicken suit, during a rules hearing on backyard fowl. The chicken didn't say a word but laid an egg before it left. Watch the video at the bottom if you like.

Leggo my Eggo, seriously or'll duke your lights out....

Kellogg's lost a plant to flooding and the other plant ran into machinery issues and Eggo's are going to have to be rationed. I foresee blood shed in the frozen food aisle! STOCK UP now while you still can!!! PAANNNNICCC!!!!
Oh, you know I suppose you could just buy some Bisquick and make'm the old fashioned way, sorry to alarm you, you can go back to your busy day.
Read some of the comments they are hiliarious.......

Up in smoke....

Aurora has put a moratorium on new marijuana dispensaries in the city so my plans on opening one in my house have been squashed.

Colorado did do something wise though, the governor declared that dispensaries must charge tax on pot sales, we need all the tax dollars we can with our deficits.

Waiting for the movie....

Did you run out and get your copy of Sarah Palin's "Going Rogue"? Yeah, me neither.

Did somebody forfeit?

I went into my fantasy league to check on my picks for Sundays football games and I've already got 24 points and nobody's played yet.

You're going to fit right in.....

Seen last night as the Broncos got their ass handed to them on MNF. Thought it was quite clever.

Smaller is not better....

I noticed several years ago that the makers of sweetened condensed milk changed the size of the can from 14 oz to 12.5 oz, I noticed this because the recipe I was using called for a 14 oz can and when I looked at the can I found it to be smaller. I've seen my beef jerky package go from 5 oz to 3.56 oz over the course of a year or two and yet the price actually increased. So now I come across maybe the most heinous of acts by these big mega corporations.....

They've shrunk my toilet paper!!!!!

I put a new roll on recently from a brand new mega-pak and it looked slightly different so I grabbed the old cardboard roll and compared it to the new roll and the new roll is about a half inch less in width than the old one. At a time when American asses are getting bigger is it a good idea to make the TP skinnier? Is dental floss TP far behind? This is getting ridiculous, just raise the price and keep the same sizes.
