White Shirts

Teddy: I can’t wear white shirts, I always get food on them and destroy them after one wearing

Courtney: Don’t be ridiculous

Teddy: I know me, trust me

Courtney: I’ll buy it for you.

six months pass till I have the confidence to wear the new white shirt.  First wearing fine.  Second wearing-I have to bring my anniversary flowers to the trash and get orange flower goo on the shirt.

Teddy: The wash did not get that flower goo out, can you bleach the shirt.

Courtney: Throw that thing out.  

 

Notices she did not say-you were right.  At least it wasn’t food

These things come in 3s

Weather

My problem with weather is that I prepare for however it is in the morning and never look at the weather.  If there is a sunny morning with rain predicted, I never have an umbrella with me.  If there is a cold morning I am always overdressed if it warms up in the afternoon.  If is a warm morning with snow in the afternoon, I get wet and cold.  But I do always have 2-3 pairs of dry socks with me.

George Lucas should have watched cartoons

So I just watched Speed Racer.  I did not believe Bob when he told me it was good.  Although I loathed the first 10 minutes.  The movie was so much better than The Phantom Menace.  All the action scenes in Speed Racer may be a bit too stylized for my tastes, however the race scenes contained action that is easy to follow when watching it the first time.  Contrast that with the pod racing scene from Phantom Menace, which after I watched it more than 10 times, I still don’t follow and have no idea what the action is or is supposed to be.   

 

Speed racer really is true to the cartoon in look and feel of all characters, which makes it very exciting.  The story is more interesting and complex than Phantom Menace and instead of stupid love scenes it has cootie patrol led by Spritle and Chim Chim.  There are many twists and turns that are consistent with the cartoon, yet surprising and not too far fetched.-ie believable. There are some glaring inconsistencies like John Goodman be portrayed as being much smaller than he is in real life and mom racer having a child every 10 years, but that is made up for by being an easy to follow movie with a good plot.

What’s wrong with sports radio–donuts

So the day after game one of the NBA finals and a day that the Red Sox move into first place tie with the yankees, both the local and national sports talk stations are talking about…..National Donut Day.  

Mike and Mike about how Mike can broadcast with 2 donuts in his mouth and the local station about squished pink donuts with sprinkles.

Ridiculous.

spitting the new smoking

I get very mad at people who smoke and have decided that if they pollute the air of everyone without asking there should be socially acceptable repercussions.  My suggestions is that if someone smokes where you have to breathe, it is OK to spit at them.  It is much less harmful to them and just like you have a chance to get lung cancer from secondary smoke, they only have a chance of getting hepatitis from spit.

paul is still dead

In the next in my series of conspiracy posts as well as dead rock star posts.

Apparently clues about Paul’s death continue to this day-ie  the ads for the cirque de soleil Beatles show love-from 2006

have clues about his death, like his face appears on screen then a car appears on screen–oh you know

he died in a car also the scrambled up letters that appear spell out  At Saville Row we swor

That is they swore to tell no one about it, but I would have left out the e in saville as opposed to swore as it has less effect on the word.  

Apparently the guy who posted this is crazy as there are a whole bunch of people who post stuff to debunk his 86 and counting Paul is dead videos.

I actually like the Jim Morrison thing better as it is more realistic.

button feh

Were button fly jeans ever popular.  Because, I recently (in the last 4 months) bought a pair of pants with buttons instead of a zipper.  Who wants to unbutton 5 buttons which takes on average 16 seconds, when they can unzipper in .0275 seconds.  The point of the whole fly thing is to allow you to go to the bathroom and so you can put your pants on and take them off.  For both men and women buttons slow this process down.  Especially when you really have to go to the bathroom buttons don’t let you get to the point when you can go nearly as fast as zippers.  Zippers were around for a long time before button jeans, was this marketing gone awry?  Is there a reason this did not fail right away?  What are the benefits of the button fly.  I’ve worn mine 3 times and still do not know.  Anyone?

Joys of a 10 year old car

So a few days after putting new front and rear brakes in my car and a few months after spending $800 to fix some engine thing, I am driving and I hear a clinking sound.  I thought that can’t be my car, but I stopped and it stopped.  Then I started again and it started again.  So I pulled off the road and see there is a container thing hanging off my car on the bottom middle.  Apparently it protects something, but who knows what.  It was attached at one time by 4 bolts, but it had rusted through and only had 1 bolt holding it on.  I ripped it off, problem solved, unless of course a rock hitting what it was protecting causes the car to explode.

Not to worry though the next day my engine light went on again.

A new experience

I was walking down the street in Las Vegas, where every 3rd person is wearing Red Sox gear and I say 2 people in Yankees hats the whole four days I was there.  One of the two guys in Yankee hats looked at my Red Sox 2004 Championship hat wistfully.  It felt good.
