Two visits to the Chow Wagon in two days. Two chocolate malts in two days. No amount of running errands or yard work can keep the weight off if I keep this up. Jeezy Chreezy, look at that weight!!! One. Seven. Seven. I haven't seen that in quite a while (thanks to this blog thang in this here Interwebs I can tell it was actually January 14th). I'm going to enact my secret exercise scheme soon... PUKING. LOL, no - I kid. But I do have a plan. And I'm curious as to whether or not it will work. I'm going to call it my Secret EXercise Scheme. Or my SEX Scheme. Oh hell! I'm just joking!!! I'm not going to call it that (mostly because that is not an activity included in the regimen). But it is sneaky and hope it will work. More on that later...

The Crazy Nastyass Honey Badger
The Crazy Nastyass Honey Badger (original narration by Randall)
Some people at work were passing this link around. I watched it several times (including again just now - well, not just now as you read this but just *now* as I type this) and I'm still LOL'ing at that Crazy Nastyass Honey Badger.
If you liked Randall's narration you may also find his other episodes funny. I particularly liked his Water Chevrotains Are Adorable, Crowned Eagles are Nasty one.

Strep, my inner lesbian, Mario and the Princess, Lambda leader, and 5-year olds
Poor Jooj has strep. I feel bad for her. She's been a sick little grrrl this school year.
I listened to enough Ani Difranco today to get my inner lesbian all in an uproar. I want to go hate on some men and empower myself now. Grrrl power!
I was watching the news tonight and someone in St. Matthews was murdered - their first in 6 years. An eye-witness was briefly interviewed on the screen. His shirt caught my eye so I rewound the DVR. With Gawd as my witness I swear it was a t-shirt depicting Mario (of Super Mario Brother fame) giving it anally to Princess Peach. I shit you not. I watched it several times. Jooj saw it too and can testify. WTF? How the hell did that make it past the censors??? LOLOLOLOLOL!!!
Geek time! In CoH tonight I was the co-leader of my first Lambda run. There are two new trials that max level characters can run. I've been playing them pretty heavily this week. We wanted to join a team but no one was forming. So we formed our own and had a great run.
Lastly, and maybe even funnier than the Mario and Princess Peach t-shirt (but only *just*), I was online tonight playing CoH and we were standing around bantering about stupid stuff - just normal chatter. I'm a funny and friendly guy so I participate as often as I can. This particular exchange was particularly funny, albeit a bit darkly humorous (hilarious to me though). Please bear in mind that this is paraphrased. There was plenty of other chatting and I didn't have a way to save any of it:
Player #1: So how many 5-year olds do you think you could take on?
Player #2: At once?
Player #1: Yeah
Player #3: Can we fight dirty?
Player #1: Sure, if you mean dirtier than beating up 5-year olds.
Player #2: Hmm
(pause)
Me: All of them
(longer pause)
Player #1: That is an acceptable answer
I'm still LOL'ing over that :)

Toyota Highlander commercial really pisses me off
Gawd, I'm going to sound like an old man grumbling while he shakes his cane in the air. Here we go...
There is this commercial for the Toyota Highlander called "Kid Cave". In it, a Toyota Highlander occupied by a child and his parents pull up to a red car with another child and his parents. The boys know each other and exchange greetings. The kid in the red car complains that his parents have been singing the same song for three hours. The parents in the red car are singing "Angel of the Morning". The kid in the Highlander shakes his head in disgust, places some headphones on, and tunes into a show that is playing on the LCD in his Highlander.
Some people on the Interwebs have complained how elitist the commercial is, implying that a child cannot have fun in a car unless it is decked out with audio and video stimulation. Perhaps, but that's not the beef I have with the commercial. What gets my goat is the program the Highlander kid is watching.
It depicts a cartoon of a bipedal dog wearing a super hero costume. Harmless, right? Sure, but then a spray of machine gun bullets are fired at his chest and they are harmlessly deflected.
Seriously?
As a society, we are so nonchalant with gun violence that it's okay for that depiction to be used? I mean, the imagery on the screen must've been an afterthought to the real message behind the commercial. And cartoon gunfire qualified as harmless and non-offensive enough to make it? Really? We couldn't show some puppets teaching us the letter Q? It couldn't be some animated show of some funny-looking kids acting silly? It couldn't simply be some nature programming? Gunfire? Test groups saw that and no one raised any serious concerns? Gunfire?!?!
Whatever.

Guns, nickels, Battlefront, and the ol' gang
What a day! It started off with me being late to an "appointment" (more on that later perhaps). Why was I late? I had to take an alternative route because A CAR CRASHED INTO A LOCAL GUN STORE IN AN ATTEMPT TO ROB IT. You read that in capital letters correctly. How bogus is that?
(Did I just use the word bogus? TOTALLY BOGUS!)
Later in the day, after rummaging through my pocket full of two nickels (had to pay the meter for my "appointment" that I may or may not mention again), I pulled out my coinage and noticed one of them wasn't even a real nickel. Or was it? The face looked like Jefferson but it was funky. Did we get a new nickel? We must have. I looked to see when it was minted...
2005
Really? It's been that long since I've carried a nickel? Wow. I used to let people keep the change. And then got married and just threw spare change into a change bowl. How can something like that get by me? I notice the tiniest details... just miss the most obvious ones sometimes (I'm thinking about your haircuts, Jooj!!!).
Soooooo, ye ol' rumor mill is cranking up again regarding Star Wars: Battlefront 3 game development. LucasArts made a multi-game deal with Epic Games to use their Unreal 3 game engine for an undisclosed number of titles. At the top of my "want" list would be, of course, Star Wars: Battlefront 3. A close second would be Star Wars: Republic Commando 2. Fuck any Jedi games. I want clonetrooper and stormtrooper action!
Lastly, the new soccer session started tonight and it was quite a pleasure to see two old faces - Ricardo and Tony. The old team (which dominated back in the day) is almost back together again. And it showed. We played a very good team and demolished them 8-4 (two goals were deflections that I could've saved had they not been). It felt good to win so well again.
As for that "appointment"... hmm...

Rain, rain, go away...
Over the last 96 hours we have received 6.5" of rain. The meteorologists predict that we'll receive another 6" over the next 72 hours. I'm sick of rain.

The Easter I Will Never Forget
I woke up this morning with a raw stomach. And who does that really surprise? After eating what I ate yesterday and dumping so much caffeine down the gullet I was bound to have some stomach issues. I thought to myself, "I better take a Protonix. I don't want today to be one of *those* days!"
Well, before I could even do that it turned into one of *those* days.
I went down to the basement to let the dogs out and we were flooded. It was early in the seeping of water from the drain but water was on the move and on the rise. I was able to move everything out of the way but the water was coming quickly. I used the hose to try and dislodge what may or may not have been blocking it. I shifted the sump pump cover to see if I could determine a problem. I flipped circuit breakers. I wiggled pipes. Dad came over and ran through the same processes. Somewhere along the way we dislodged *something* and the pump cranked out water like it did another time this happened. Stressful morning, sure, but overall catastrophe averted.
Oddly enough, it was only minutes after my adrenaline had begun to dissipate that Jooj noticed the preliminary stage of an ant invasion in our den. Are you F'ing kidding me? I hadn't even digested the basement flooding victory and this was happening? We sprayed. We killed. We Swiffered. Sheesh!
And after all of this, we were still able to go to both Easter celebrations (albeit empty-handed) and spend a wonderful (rest of the) day with family on both sides. I love 'em all and was tickled to see so many loving members of my fam! Happy Easter!
