Anybody Else See This?

Black Friday

• This is quite possibly the last Friday that I take off this summer. Things are starting to get busier at work and so will we.
• I absolutely LOVE the British Open. The conditions make the course such a challenge, much like Texas esp. Lubbock. There was a 1:06 delay because the golf balls were being blown by the wind as they removed their markers. If I had a dime...
• Tiger's pissed.
• Wonder why they call them sandwich buns and not hamburger buns? They make hot dog buns.
• And why do they call it hamburger? Why are they called hot dogs?
• I'll be happy when the Musers return to the Ticket next week but at the same time I won't be able to listen very much.
• If you were to make a quick 3 or 4 day trip in Texas, where would you go?
• I would be very nervous interviewing in front of a committee like we did this week. Very large table and 9 people asking all kinds of questions. Spooky.
• I went for a run this morning and the heat broke out. In a big way. Feels like 75 my a**.

Total Randomness

• I looked up at the calendar on Thursday only to realize it is July. Seriously? The summer time is just flying by.
• I love this rain. It help off long enough for Cliff and I to get some fishing in, only had 7 keeper crappie and a stray catfish. Cliff said he'd eat it so I chopped them all up and gave him the lot of em.
• Twins won again last night, hanging on to 1st place, barely. I'm not a fan of their closer, Rauch. And if you haven't watched video at MLB.com, you're missing some high quality stuff.
• Another former Longhorn was arrested. It's slowed down a bit, only averaging one per week right now. It's the clean cut Chris Simms. Wonder what daddy thinks.
• Errands to run today, not sure if I'll have enough time for Bed Bath and Beyond.
• Watched Youth in Revolt last night. It's definitely not for the youth but certainly entertaining. I would give it 3.5 stars out of 5.
• Here's a link to some of the best commercials for the Twins.

There's No Fish in that Lake

Fished for about 5 hours yesterday in the 90 degree heat. Slightly overcast and humid. Only managed to catch 17 and put 10 in the live well. Partner caught 7 and kept 4. It was an OK outing but felt we were both off our game a little bit.

Bear Trap

No Way You Can

Keep from tearing up, even just a little bit.

Remember Me?

Haven't posted in quite some time. Just letting you know I'm still kicking. Here's a funny little video for you.

Cure for Boredom?

So yesterday I got a dose of motivation and got busy around the house. I started working after I returned from Home Depot and the Sprint store (got my contacts transferred). You be the judge, good day or bad day?

• painted bathroom cabinet sides and kick plate
• painted the trim and header of the overhead garage door
• cleaned gutters on front of house
• took the globe off of the front porch light fixture and cleaned
• swept kitch and big room floors
• wet mopped the big room floor
• washed, dried, and folded 4 loads of laundry (most of it anyway)
• cleaned out the lint area, not filter, on dryer (everyone should do this)
• cleaned both toilets
• scrubbed boys bathtub and shower doors
• took coffee and plant to wife (not really work)
• unloaded and loaded dishwasher before and after dinner
• cooked lunch and dinner
• greased the rollers on the garage door

There might have been other things I did in passing but that's pretty much it. Not sure what today brings but isn't that always the case?

Light Switch

I have two switches on the wall that don't turn anything on or off. There is a ceiling fan close by that I assumed was controlled by one if not both. I replaced both switches yesterday and everything is better now. I have confirmed that those switches do indeed control nothing. As a protest to this situation I've decided that I'm going to start putting an additional button on the keyboard that doesn't actually make a character. I won't even give it a name or label it.

Better yet, maybe I'll put an extra unlabeled knob on the stereo. Can you imagine how crazy that would drive a person? "I think it just got louder. No wait, the balance went to the left. Hold on, I think the singer just farted." Yes, I've added a fart drop button to the stereo. Children, enjoy.

This is the NFL?

Why in the world would these hideous things be approved for game play? MONEY! These are two of the packers players, they look like high school kids. I don't know anyone that would buy this crap but oh well, enjoy.

Coolest Sport Ever?

Weekend Musings

• Another Saturday, another 5k. That's 4 weeks in a row and my time is gradually getting a little better. Not much but I'll take every second I can get.
• I have to agree with Jub-Jub, I like tournaments. Basketball are great but don't hold a candle to curling. Remember that classic match between Norway and France in '03? Oh the tension!
• Denton is a great city. I'd like to have the opportunity to choose my own utility company but other than that I really like it. There are so many active people here, running, biking, and they all seem very friendly. Example: I was running in the park the other day and passed an elderly lady walking her dog. I completed a lap and when I passed her again she gave a thumbs up and said "great job". That's pretty typical of the locals.
• My wife is looking for a new hair stylist and I feel for her. I've tried other barbers when Reba is gone and it just doesn't compare. Good luck dear.
• What were the best times of your life? High School? College? Now? Here's what one catholic says.
• I've started using the exercise ball and while it doesn't seem difficult or like I'm really working out, I think it's doing some good. I got another loop in the belt back.

Cold Plants?

Here's a proven method to keep those plants warm during the coldest of days.

Or you can use the double barrel approach:

Rules for teachers in 1915

1. You will not marry during the term of your contract.
2. You are not to keep company with men.
3. You must be home between the hours of 8 p.m. and 6 a.m. unless attending a school function.
4. You may not loiter downtown in ice cream stores.
5. You may not travel beyond city limits unless you have the permission of the chairman of the board.
6. You may not ride in a carriage or automobile with any man unless he is your father or brother.
7. You may not smoke cigarettes.
8. You may not dress in bright colors.
9. You may under no circumstances dye your hair.
10. You must wear at least two petticoats.
11. Your dresses must not be any shorter than two inches above the ankle.
12. To keep the school room neat and clean, you must:
    
13. • sweep the floor at least once daily
    • scrub the floor at least once a week with hot, soapy water
    • clean the blackboards at least once a day
    • start the fire at 7 a.m. so the room will be warm by 8 a.m.

Truth or Humor?

Let me know what you think about this.

Got my total for February...24.5 running and only 7.5 biking. I put more emphasis on the running (obviously) as I want to compete in a 5K. I don't have any delusions that I might actually place so compete is a poor choice of words. How about finish.

The Dallas Morning News is only worth printing during football season. It seems that as soon as it's over I'm ready to jump the shark. I'm not even sure the coupons are worth it anymore as they typically expire within a couple of months. Sorry but I don't need to get Old English every month, just every other year. I just can't toss that $3.00 coupon, THAT'S A DEAL!!

Is That Doc from Love Boat?

I remember having to watch this with my parents way back in the day. They kept asking "where did we go wrong?" "What happened to you?" Some questions can only be answered by a doctor.

Interesting?

NOT!!!

Oddly Hot?

We've come a Long Way

This stadium looks soooo different from the last time I went to a game. I've been to more away games than home games since I graduated, that's sad. I sure hope I can make one this year..in Lubbock.

She's Such a Fan

This just drives me crazy. Notice how she seems so excited, like she's a big fan. Seems to me she would know better if she were a true fan.

Three Day Weekend Thoughts

• Unable to fix the PS3, yes it died again. I took it apart and did the same thing as last time but getting no power. This thing ain't beat me yet.
• I've never known a woman that drinks whiskey. Most will only go to rum or vodka for the "hard stuff". I can see why though, Jack is nasty as well as others.
• I just couldn't bring myself to running over the last week, even indoors. Lack of motivation will be my downfall. Just watch.
• The wall that was constructed at the luge track looks completely natural. Did they leave it out originally because of aesthetics? (spell check got me on that one, missed the first "e")
• I like the cold weather but the wife doesn't. Is that bad?
• She burps too. Not that that has anything to do with the cold. She likes to burp. If you're good at it, why stop?
• Zach's new phone has the slide option showing a full qwerty keyboard. Let's see how that goes. A coworker wants to purchase that style but I'm just not that into it. I text fine with my 2004 flip Motorola.
• You'd think a three day weekend would be cause for more thoughts.
• Have a happy hockey! Looking forward to the tournament.

Why Parents Drink

A father passing by his son's bedroom was astonished to see that his bed was nicely made and everything was picked up.. Then he saw an Envelope, propped up prominently on the pillow that was addressed to 'Dad.' With the worst premonition he opened the envelope with trembling hands and read the letter.

Dear Dad:

It is with great regret and sorrow that I'm writing you. I had to elope with my new girlfriend because I wanted to avoid a scene with Mom and you..

I have been finding real passion with Stacy and she is so nice.

But I knew you would not approve of her because of all her piercing, tattoos, tight motorcycle clothes and the fact that she is much older than I am. But it' s not only the passion... Dad she's pregnant.

Stacy said that we will be very happy.

She owns a trailer in the woods and has a stack of firewood for the whole winter. We share a dream of having many more children.

Stacy has opened my eyes to the fact that marijuana doesn't really hurt anyone. We'll be growing it for ourselves and trading it with the other people that live nearby for cocaine and ecstasy.

In the meantime we will pray that science will find a cure for AIDS so Stacy can get better. She deserves it.

Don't worry Dad. I'm 15 and I know how to take care of myself.

Someday I'm sure that we will be back to visit so that you can get to know your grandchildren.

Love,
Your Son John

PS. Dad, none of the above is true. I'm over at Tommy's house.

I Just wanted to remind you that there are worse things in life than a Report card... That's in my center desk drawer....

I love you. Call me when it's safe to come home.

Weekend Musings

• Went to a my 7th grade nephew's basketball game yesterday and it wasn't nearly as bad as the games I refereed several years ago. I think talent overall is 100X better than then. Several of the kids were coordinated and good shooters, even making free throws. Way to go Ross, I enjoyed it.
• I saw two girls this morning at Kroger wearing very short dresses and no panty hose yet sporting coats. Now I've never dressed like that before but they had to have been freezing and if they had on hose, how much would it help in 42 degrees?
• I'm giving away dead batteries later, free of charge.

Dad Joke?

An elderly man on a Moped, looking about 100 years old, pulls up next to a doctor at a street light.

The old man looks over at the sleek shiny car and asks, "What kind of car ya got there, sonny?"

The doctor replies, "A Ferrari GTO. It cost half a million dollars!"

"That's a lot of money," says the old man. "Why does it cost so much?"

"Because this car can do up to 320 miles an hour!" states the doctor proudly.

The Moped driver asks, "Mind if I take a look inside?"

"No problem," replies the doctor.

So the old man pokes his head in the window and looks around. Then, sitting back on his Moped, the old man says, "That's a pretty nice car, all right... but I'll stick with my Moped!"

Just then the light changes, so the doctor decides to show the old man just what his car can do. He floors it, and within 30 seconds the speedometer reads 160 mph.

Suddenly, he notices a dot in his rear view mirror. It seems to be getting closer! He slows down to see what it could be and suddenly WHOOOOSSSHHH!

Something whips by him going much faster!

"What on earth could be going faster than my Ferrari?" the doctor asks himself.

He presses harder on the accelerator and takes the Ferrari up to 250 mph.

Then, up ahead of him, he sees that it's the old man on the Moped!

Amazed that the Moped could pass his Ferrari, he gives it more gas
And passes the Moped at 275 mph. He's feeling pretty good until he looks in his mirror and sees the old man gaining on him AGAIN!

Astounded by the speed of this old guy, he floors the gas pedal and takes the Ferrari all the way up to 320 mph.

Not ten seconds later, he sees the Moped bearing down on him again!
The Ferrari is flat out, there's nothing he can do!

Suddenly, the Moped plows into the back of his Ferrari, demolishing the rear end. The doctor stops and jumps out and unbelievably the old man is still alive.

He runs up to the banged-up old guy and says, "I'm a doctor.... Is there anything I can do for you?"

The old man whispers, "Unhook my suspenders from your side view mirror!"

Pretty Neat System

What is the speed limit in Cananda?
Connections are RCA, I've got dozens of those at home.
Who would use that car for an armed robbery? Does not look reliable.

January Totals

I had hoped to get 20 and 40 for the month but I didn't quite make it. That's 20 miles jogging and 40 miles biking. It was pretty cold this month so I didn't get on the bike as much, only 22 miles. That's a result from 3 bike trips. Ouch, that's go to improve. I don't recall how many times I went jogging but I did log 18.85 miles, almost there.

I hope to participate in a 5K this year so I've got to step it up. I usually jog 2.15 miles each time but occasionally bump it up to 2.5. Seems easier outside than on a treadmill even though you can set an even pace. Yesterday I jogged a mile and then walked for a bit before double timing it for 1/4 mile. I repeated this until I finished my 2.15 miles and it was a little challenging as my back was killing me.

Any tips on getting to the 5K threshold faster would be greatly appreciated. I wonder if changing my running path will be enough to get that extra mile. BTW, that's not me above, not even a body double.

Yahoo Gets it Right

So Bryant McKinnie of the Vikings missed a couple of practices for the Pro Bowl and was kicked off the team. That's the equivalent of getting your participation trophy in youth soccer or baseball taken away . Does he really care? Below is an excerpt from Yahoo that I think sums it up best.

Let's just call it like it is. First of all, McKinnie never should have been voted to the Pro Bowl in the first place. He was an average lineman at best this year, finding himself benched against the Carolina Pantherson December 21 for giving up sacks and pressures without letup. The Vikings got to the NFC Championship despite their line, and everybody knows it. For McKinnie to take an award he doesn't deserve and throw it away is one thing -- but to throw his teammates under the bus and put an already undermanned roster under more pressure is absolutely inexcusable. Diehl is the professional in this scenario, and he's now the one who will be playing more, and possibly subjecting himself to injury. McKinnie needs to figure it out -- and fast. The Pro Bowl may be a joke to him (and many others), but leaving your fellow football players in the lurch is hardly humor fodder.

This Kills Me.

Football graduation rates in the Big 12. I've been looking for the arrest rates as well, wondering if the chart would be flipped. UT and OU are Nike schools. Just Win Baby. Nothing else matters, period. As a coach how can you live with yourself? Do you tell the kids they can come to Austin and get a degree or do you just tell them to play football? Where's the statements from Stoops and Brown regarding these grad rates? Can't find that either.

Live From Ralph Strangis

Favre and Vikings Classically Heroic
Ralph Strangis – January 25, 2010

So often it is the outcome that consumes us, that validates our performances and supports our claims and beliefs. We use the scoreboard to tell us if we’re winners and trophies of every kind to proclaim to the world that we are who we say we are.

The problem is – that outcomes are the end product of complex equations. No single factor or person can control an outcome, despite our egocentric notions and grandiose beliefs to the contrary. In a football game the outcome is determined by combining all elements; your team’s players, their team’s players, subjective officiating, booth reviews, opportunities and mistakes, plays made and missed at all junctures, the toss of a coin, and the haphazard bounce of an oblong ball on a synthetic surface. It follows that looking at the scoreboard as the only means to evaluate success or failure is at least simplistic and often off the mark entirely.

In Sunday’s NFC Championship game the outcome, the final score said: New Orleans 31, Minnesota 28. Some will say then that simply the Saints won and the Vikings lost. They will posit that the Vikings are cursed, that Brett Favre choked, that the legacy of Minnesota late-season failures is secure and that New Orleans has finally shed its losing ways and are “AINTS” no more. Yes it is a hard-fought and important victory for New Orleans, and they are more than a deserving team to represent the conference in the big game.

As a lifelong Vikings fan I saw something else too. I saw a classic and epic tale of a group of players that would not shut down or quit. I watched as mistakes that would completely destroy a weaker group embolden them and solidify their intent. I watched as injured players pushed on through unrelenting pain. And I saw a 40 year-old quarterback defiant in the face of one bone-rattling hit after another willing himself and his team to keep battling no matter how many times he or they hit the canvas. Playing it safe, pushing the game down the tracks and hoping for something good to just happen for them is not a part of this group’s DNA.

Twelve months earlier the Vikings limped through a playoff game against the Eagles with all the purpose of a rudderless craft. They had players, but they were hardly a team. That group slipped into the pile with all those other Vikings teams which had teased their fans a bit, only to leave them hollow and waiting for next year.

The franchise is replete with heartbreaking losses and characterized by teams who either would not or could not show up when they were counted on most. Not this group. Not on that Sunday. This team is unlike any Vikings team before it, and it was because of one guy.

Vikings coach Brad Childress knew exactly what he was doing when he pursued Brett Favre and got him to leave his cozy quasi-retirement. And he also knew when to get out of the way after a late-season battle over whose team this would be. Favre’s message at the time - that Childress signed off on and the team took complete ownership of was – this is Brett Favre’s team – and Brett Favre’s team will not quit playing. Not ever. No matter what. In the second half of the Monday night game in Chicago the dye was cast. The Vikings smacked around a disinterested Giants team in the regular season finale and then hammered the Cowboys in the Divisional playoff game that put Dallas on an airplane home crying foul; that the Vikings had the audacity to keep playing – no matter what.

Saints Coach Sean Payton had been paying attention. His game plan was to go after the head of the snake, and that’s what his team did. But Favre and his team would not surrender or succumb, they would not, as many previous editions of the Vikings had, go quietly into the night. Despite Favre and his team’s own transgressions, despite sustaining a torrent of unwelcomed body belts, and despite a solid counter-punching opponent, this Vikings team did anything but go quietly into the night.

It may seem a stretch, but to watch the game I couldn’t help but think that Favre and his teammates more than once said “this game may do me permanent harm, but I’ll be damned if I’m not going to keep getting up.” No – this is not your father’s Vikings team.

The most important lesson then is this; how will you acquit yourself at life’s most critical moments? How will you respond when things get “too hard”? Will you continue to battle with every last ounce you have – or will you just – slip quietly away…?

Brett Favre may be the classic literary tragic hero; his greatest strengths will also be his undoing. But he doesn’t know anything else. He is at all times trying to win a game, not trying not to lose it.

To a starving fan base he brought hope and promise and delivered more heroic moments in weeks than they’d seen in years. To a mid-pack team he brought a swagger and confidence and will to fight than they had never known, and those things will stay with this group going forward. And to an audience of millions he showed what true character and real heroism really is, if they were paying attention. That the scoreboard did not validate his actions is hardly the point.

You may find it odd that I think it selfish of me that I want him to retire. I’m a Vikings fan, yet I want to remember Sunday as his finest hour and can’t imagine anything ahead that will match this season or his performance against New Orleans. At 40 years old - he took their best shots and kept coming back at them. This was his opus, his master work. Favre put everything together for one day – all of it – every representation of his body of work. His young warriors alongside him followed his lead. And he and his team just flat out refused to stop playing.

I think about the interception; the decision and the throw. Is there any doubt that they would have been in that spot in the first place without him? And at the end of the day, it’s just one play in a game that had many that conspired to form the outcome.

But honestly - that’s the Brett Favre I saw in Green Bay, that’s the Brett Favre I saw all season, and that’s the Brett Favre I want. And Sunday gave us every indication that as long as his body is able to do what his spirit commands, he’ll stay with it. Someday, and perhaps sooner rather than later, the body will fade, even though the fire still burns, and he’ll know it, and that will be that.

I know, if you’re a Vikings fan you really wanted the Super Bowl champion sweatshirt. But on Sunday, Favre and the Vikings gave you a much more valuable souvenir.

These are actual comments made on students' report cards by teachers in the New York City public school system. All teachers were reprimanded, but boy are these funny and likely appropriate.

1. Since my last report, your child has reached rock bottom and has started to dig.

2. I would not allow this student to breed.

3. Your child has delusions of adequacy.

4. Your son is depriving a village somewhere of an idiot.

5. Your son sets low personal standards and then consistently fails to achieve them.

6. The student has a 'full six-pack' but lacks the plastic thing to hold it all together.

7. This child has been working with glue too much.

8. When your daughter's IQ reaches 50, she should sell.

9. The gates are down, the lights are flashing, but the train isn't coming.

10. If this student were any more stupid, he'd have to be watered twice a week.

11. It's impossible to believe the sperm that created this child beat out 1,000,000 others.

12. The wheel is turning but the hamster is definitely dead.

Stuff and Whatnot ***Edited

• Fixed the PS3 today, completely tore it apart and put back together after applying heat to the CPU and GPU. Only had 4 screws left over but I know where they go so that's okay.
• Kinda boring football today. Hope the Vikings game is boring too...in our favor.***Not even close to boring. Absolutely loved the entire game, couldn't stop watching.
• Stars played their best game of the year today. Intensity was at a high level.
• I'm tired of using a tank of gas per week. Mostly picking up kids and dropping them off.
• I think the fireplace needs to be cleaned, it smells like I made ribs in the living room. I didn't.
• Ever get tired of technology? Me too. Real tired.
• I'd love to take a trip to somewhere sunny with a beach. And it needs to be warm.
• Just love those cupcakes up top.

Last Year's Darwin Awards

Here is the glorious winner:

1. When his 38 caliber revolver failed to fire at his
intended victim during a hold-up in Long Beach , California
would-be robber James Elliot did something that can only
inspire wonder. He peered down the barrel and tried the
trigger again. This time it worked.

And now, the honorable mentions:

2. The chef at a hotel in Switzerland lost a finger in a
meat cutting machine and after a little shopping around,
submitted a claim to his insurance company. The company
expecting negligence sent out one of its men to have a look
for himself. He tried the machine and he also lost a finger.
The chef's claim was approved.

3. A man who shoveled snow for an hour to clear a space for
his car during a blizzard in Chicago returned with his
vehicle to find a woman had taken the space.. Understandably,
he shot her.

4. After stopping for drinks at an illegal bar, a
Zimbabwean bus driver found that the 20 mental patients he
was supposed to be transporting from Harare to Bulawayo had
escaped. Not wanting to admit his incompetence, the driver
went to a nearby bus stop and offered everyone waiting there
a free ride. He then delivered the passengers to the mental
hospital, telling the staff that the patients were very
excitable and prone to bizarre fantasies. The deception
wasn't discovered for 3 days.

5. An American teenager was in the hospital recovering from
serious head wounds received from an oncoming train. When
asked how he received the injuries, the lad told police that
he was simply trying to see how close he could get his head
to a moving train before he was hit.

6. A man walked into a Louisiana Circle-K, put a $20 bill
on the counter, and asked for change. When the clerk opened
the cash drawer, the man pulled a gun and asked for all the
cash in the register, which the clerk promptly provided. The
man took the cash from the clerk and fled, leaving the $20
bill on the counter. The total amount of cash he got from
the drawer... $15. [If someone points a gun at you and gives
you money, is a crime committed?]

7. Seems an Arkansas guy wanted some beer pretty badly. He
decided that he'd just throw a cinder block through a
liquor store window, grab some booze, and run. So he lifted
the cinder block and heaved it over his head at the window.
The cinder block bounced back and hit the would-be thief on
the head, knocking him unconscious. The liquor store window
was made of Plexiglas. The whole event was caught on
videotape.

8. As a female shopper exited a New York convenience store,
a man grabbed her purse and ran. The clerk called 911
immediately, and the woman was able to give them a detailed
description of the snatcher. Within minutes, the police
apprehended the snatcher. They put him in the car and drove
back to the store. The thief was then taken out of the car
and told to stand there for a positive ID. To which he
replied, "Yes, officer, that's her. That's the
lady I stole the purse from."

9. The Ann Arbor News crime column reported that a man
walked into a Burger King in Ypsilanti , Michigan at 5 A.M.,
flashed a gun, and demanded cash. The clerk turned him
down because he said he couldn't open the cash register
without a food order. When the man ordered onion rings, the
clerk said they weren't available for breakfast. The
man, frustrated, walked away.


10. When a man attempted to siphon gasoline from a motor
home parked on a Seattle street, he got much more than he
bargained for. Police arrived at the scene to find a very
sick man curled up next to a motor home near spilled sewage.
A police spokesman said that the man admitted to trying to
steal gasoline, but he plugged his siphon hose into the
motor home's sewage tank by mistake. The owner of the
vehicle declined to press charges saying that it was the
best laugh he'd ever had.

The wife says...

CandyHaven makes a great cake.

"I'd like a strawberry M&M cake with Mars bars icing and could you use gummy bears for the candles?"

Day off today

Didn't do much today although I had plans to work on the house a little bit. Some of the more exhaustive events today?

• Played the Wii with wife and Ben for about and hour
• Watch "Enemy at the Gate". Saw it in the theatre several years ago and didn't like it much at the time. It was much better in the confines of the living room.
• Snuck out to the store to get a new electric razor. The foil on my old one has a cut in it and last time that happened I got a nice cut on my face.
• Brought the trash bin to the back yard. Harder than it sounds since it's about 10 degree wind chill outside.
• Unpacked the razor and plugged it in.

Whew, time for a nap.

I came across these from the 3p Challenge 2009. This year's event will be held on March 27, 2010. Not sure if I'll undertake the adventure again this year, depends on how deep the water is.
