They also tout their product as "shelf stable". You thirsty?.

A Picture Diary

My dad forwarded this to me. It's an idea who's time has come.

I was especially amused by episodes 3 and 4 :-)

Well, we finally decided to paint the main bedroom. This time around it was much easier; I picked a color that could be added to base 1 instead of base 3. (Hey, you only have to make me paint a room 3 or 4 times before I realize that I never want to do THAT again.)

Dave and I have always pictured our bedroom as a nice green color. For some reason, we painted the other bedroom first... unwittingly setting the wheels in motion to make our entire 2nd floor like Christmas year-round. Oh well.

You'll be glad to know that this time around, there were no surprises. Here's a before pic:

Here's a during pic:

Here's a picture of the little tree I painted (this time, since the paint is thicker, it went away when we painted over it!):

And here is the gratuitous kitty picture (They always have a great time when the mattresses are against the wall):

So there ya have it. "Shy Blossom" is now gracing the walls of our bedroom. I think I like it. More pics tomorrow when all the touch-up is done and the furniture is moved back in!

Here I am as a young kid wearing some Underoos.

If you've ever become addicted to a video game, you know that there are people out there who write "walkthroughs." Walkthroughs are detailed maps and instructions on how to win a game, explaining tips and tricks to survive and advance through the levels.

If you've ever been to IKEA, you know that a guide would be the best possible thing you could have to survive the experience.

Here is that guide. Enjoy!

I thought it was pretty funny up until the MUD format and the phrase "Now you are in a maze of twisty passages, all alike." After that point, I pretty much found it brilliant! I remember with our old Commodore 64, we'd get these computer magazines and in the back would be programs that you could type in yourself. Dad, Nell and I would program these games in. Sometimes they'd work, sometimes they wouldn't. And you'd have to go through the code, line by line, in order to find the typo. Once we programmed some vampire game. The code was so long that all 3 of us worked on it for what seemed like a week. When we started playing, we were so confused at having to type "NSEW" to get anywhere, and I distinctly remember that twisty passages phrase.

1. A medium ground-beef milkshake.

3. A bowl of Count Beefula cereal. After you eat the cereal, you can sip the now-beefy milk.
4. Beef-chip cookies.
5. Creamy beef-mousse.
6. Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. Serendipitously, Harry Reese dropped a butchered cow into a vat of peanut butter. A new candy was born.
7. Multi-purpose beef syrup.
8. Beef-covered strawberries are dead-sexy.
9. A kosher-friendly 1lb Milk-beef bar, with peanuts (warning for those with peanut allergy: contains peanuts).

Sorry. I know I should have mentioned this earlier in the day. Now it may be too late. Avoid yellow, today. Avoid it at all costs. This is your final warning.

Pass this one on, you forwarding freaks!

Today, I got in the trunk of Geena's car just to make sure her glow-in-the-dark trunk release handle was working properly. It functioned to my satisfaction.

But some of you might not read it, and I was amused enough with this picture to post it here, too.

One time, while working at the Bradley University Computer Hotline, I wanted to test the microphone of a Macintosh. I could have hit the record button, and said "Testing testing, 1 2 3". I could have said "Hi. Did this work?". I could have said "This is a recording". There are lots of useless-throwaway things I could have said, but I didn't say any of those things.

is this thing on?
is this what happens when no one blogs for awhile?
*giggle*

The beginner casts his eye about the chess board, looking lovingly at his well-manicured Knights, his pointed Bishop and all powerful Queen.

With a sudden gleam he thrusts a pawn forward! Ooops! He tries another. Phew! That one was legal.

When it's his turn to move again, he proudly moves his Rook. Such daring! Such wit!

Today, when I woke up at 8:30 (am :)), I remembered the very end of my dream. In the dream, President GWB was snowboarding in some half-pipes. I wish I could remember how well he did, but I can't. Anyways, he was going up and down the half-pipes, and then some other snowboarder came out of nowhere and collided with our president.

Soon after seeing that odd scene, I heard the news (still in my dream), and they said the President was "clipped" by an unknown assassin, and went on to say GWB was dead.

I want to sell something strange, weird, and large (small) on E-bay! Here's some inspiration. What do you say? What should I try to sell? I'll do it! ™

Note: i will sell this under geena's account, so geena must approve. she's a good sport, though, so she'll let me sell most anything as long as the buyer is happy and gives her a good feedback rating.

Why is that baby crying?

Chapter 1. Introducing Craigee

One day, there was a dog named Craigee. There was something special about that 60 pound green dog. You see, Craigee was a hip dude. He was well versed in all of the latest hip hop badonka donk. When it came to donk, all of the other dogs truly admired Craigee's unbridled enthusiasm. But when it came to helping Santa Claus bite burglars, Craigee was no help, at all.

Chapter 2. The Badonka Dilemma

*bark*

*ruff*

*bark bark*

*ruff*

Chapter 3. The Inspiration of Perspiration

Craigee ran and ran and ran. All of the other dog's were making fun of him. Why are they making fun of Craigee? Because Craigee is green, and barks instead of ruffs. Regardless of Craigee's knowledge of hip hopped badonka, the other dogs still made fun of him.

But then one day, Craigee ran and ran farther and faster than he ever ran before. The other dogs tried to chase him down and bite his tail, but Craigee was too fast. But besides being too fast for the other dogs, there was one other thing that kept the other mean puppy perps at bay: sweat! The faster Craigee ran, the faster Craigee perspirated (through his mouth). All the saliva sweat ran down Craigee's cheek and formed a long trench of salisweat. *slip* *slide* *sladongle*. Each dog would *bark*, and then slip down to the ground right before they could latch onto Craigee's tail.

Craigee was sure teaching all of those other dogs a lesson they would never forget.

Chapter 4. Santa Claus

Craigee's new super-perspirating powers would not go unnoticed by Mr. St. Nick. Santa always had his eyes open for new big dogs that could bite the burglars. Our hero, Craigee, was found.

Chapter 5. The Christmas Miracle

This story ends.

Anybody want to bid on some used diapers? Kev? Car?

I got a phone call from my bank while I was eating my dinner. The woman said hello and asked me if I'm who I am. I said yes. I thought maybe she was going to tell me something important about my account, so I didn't hang up. Then she said something like this:

"You may be interested in the blah blah money blah blah insurance blah blah important blah blah winnie the pooh blah blah David Hasselhoff blah blah you gotta get this or someone will steal all yer stuff and kill you and then shave your cat."

That took her like 90 seconds to say. I didn't even have to say "Mm Hmm". She just talked. At the end of her cat-shaving speech, she said she just needed to confirm my name and address to sign me up. I said Ok. So she reads off my full name and spells it out. I told her she spelled it completely wrong. She asked me what was wrong. I said all of it. She asked me to spell out my first name:

• b ...
• a ...
• l ...
• l ...
• s.

I corrected her like three times, until she finally got it right. And she was having problems with some crazy menu's in her software, because it was taking her a really long time to finally get it typed in right. I was pulling out arm hair to keep from cracking up. Then she asked if my last name was Ok. I said no. I spelled my last name:

• h...
• a (voice cracking)

I couldn't speak anymore without foaming at the haha's. She read it back as 'h', 'a', and then I hung up.

The last time they called, I told them to take me off their calling list. You gotta wonder whether this kind of treatment will be more effective.

You gotta love Yahoo News Photo's:

There are now 5 pounds of jello on the counter. A few minutes ago, there were only 4.8 pounds. I added some more to see what would happen. I don't think anything happened. Should I add more to see what will happen? I gotta feeling about that jello. Please comment.

"Howdy"

I was just sittin' there on the bench. I didn't like talking to anyone when I was sittin' on the bench.

"Howdy friend"

Long pause.

"Howdy friend. I like yer belt straps. Me and me frog sure do like you-all's belt straps".

When he talked, his saliva shot through the air. I glanced over at his face and it was filled with craggles. The craggles were wrinkled.

"Why you sittin' on this bench?"

The man leaned at me and half yelled,

"I SAID, Why you sittin' on this bench?"

Ok, he repeated his question. He meant business, now. I was incredulous, but I answered.

"ruff"

-- Roughly translated, that means "I'm a dog, and I'm not wearing any belt straps".

On the first day of Christmas, my true love gave to me.
