• Grown Boys

  Date: 2009.06.22 | Category: links! | Response: 1

  You’ve heard women say it before “Why in the world would I want to take care of your kid when I’ve got two of my own and a husband to take care of.” Yes, men are grown boys and maybe it’s our nature of always trying to push boundaries that makes us feel young. Some are adrenaline junkies and there are others like me that love to come up with smarmy one liners. If I could afford it I would trade my one liners in a heartbeat to be an adrenaline junky but I don’t think I could meld the two together. I caught an interesting story about a SR-71 pilots trip across the country where he had the opportunity to be both. The story is unattributed for some reason – it’s still classified, it’s un-true, it’s… – but, I like the story. I can only hope that I can continue to be a grown boy – and not drive Jessica crazy in the process.

  So John and I saw this today and laughed the whole time! This is an amazing video and even though john and I loved it it’s sad to think that nothing like this would be seen on prime time TV today.

  But here it is for you to watch and enjoy.

  I thought this clip was funny when I first saw it on SNL. It’s even funnier now that I’ve seen this video. Really? Who picked this woman?  She doesn’t even give the SNL cast a chance to write thier own lines making fun of her, she does it herself.

• Life with dogs

  Date: 2008.06.02 | Category: Life as we know it, photos, videos | Response: 0

  We started with two dogs and traded one back in – she wasn’t a bad dog – she was just ridiculously lazy. We’re back to two of them and I forgot how much I missed having dogs. I moved away from my parents house years ago and that was the last time I had really spent any length of time around a dog. My last pet was a bit of a nut job and was banished to an outdoor existence after tearing the house apart for the last time – certain members of my family did not want to put the dog outside or place it in a kennel when we left home. She had a “bit” of separation anxiety and proceeded to destroy anything she could find – you know – dads shoes, any scrap of paper she can grab, the Christmas tree.

  Our dogs live in a massive backyard and have plenty of room to roam. Violet, the dog we got in the trade deal, is a little skittish (still) and won’t roam far from the kennel area. She’ll get used to it in time but its a change of environment. She has a unique and disgusting habit – she burgles turds. Yes, after she or the other dog leaves uhh… waste behind she will collect it and place it in her dog house. Apparently, she has been doing this for years. I really don’t know why a dog would collect turds aside from eating them which is a bit odd – dogs normally go for cat crap, horse crap, pig crap, cow crap, and well – essentially any other crap but their own. You may not notice it when you look at the dogs in this picture but Duke and Violet are trouble – I just don’t know how much trouble they are going to be – yet.

  I’ve got a few videos of the two dogs in action and they may only be interesting if you really like dogs. You may want to check them out because you can see the scale of the yard that I get the “opportunity” to mow.

  Then again, you may just watch the videos if you’re bored and you’ve got a high speed internet connection. Whatever reason – here they are.

  Tomorrow, John and I will be enjoying one of America’s favorite past times. We will be watching the Mariner’s take on the Detroit Tigers( not to mention one of the best catchers in all of baseball)

  In the spirit of baseball I came across this awesome video I would like to share. John posted about a collection of amazing videos, which you can read here, and I felt this one was appropriate. Enjoy!

• Things in Iraq that make me laugh

  Date: 2008.05.07 | Category: Life as we know it, desert, photos | Response: 0

  It is quite hard to find humor in my life here but there are a few things that make me laugh – daily – in Iraq. I took a few photos today of some things that make you laugh or just say huh? So, without any further delay, here they are.

  This is a random bumper sticker stuck on a random room – and it makes me laugh every day. Its a shame this isn’t a real trailer park because we’d have overweight slobs sitting in kiddie pools drinking PBR all day long.

  This sign has always seemed a little odd – as if we didn’t pay quite enough to the contractor to get it right. I thought about it for a while and the angle of the walker makes it look like they are trying to sneak across the road. Caution – people sneaking across the road! BEWARE!

  For reference – here is a normal crosswalk sign

  I looked a little closer at the image and noticed why he was sneaking

  Damn, that guy is some brand of mutant! Look! He’s got lobster claws for hands! It’s no wonder he’s trying to sneak across the road – I now know why we should exercise caution – you don’t want to piss of a guy with lobster claw hands!

  Look! It’s an oxymoron. You’ll see a sign that says “high noise area – hearing protection required” within two feet of “Silent Power.” uhhh…. yeah…. This is one of the MANY diesel generators spread across the base. I’m sure that most of the middle east gets their power in the same fashion and I’ve got to wonder what happens to them when they run out of oil – solar power?

  Here is a shot of the sun setting – finally! It can also be used as a metaphor for my trip finally coming to an end. I’ve got less than 2 days left here and then I start the long trip home – I can’t wait to get back.

• Only the most hilarious of my ideas would land me a subpoena

  Date: 2008.05.05 | Category: Life as we know it, ahh the news | Response: 0

  I extremely cynical and sarcastic and springing from these two vital parts of my psyche comes my sense of humor. I was browsing through my daily group of websites when I came upon a story that led to and idea – one that I knew would lead to a subpoena – if not leading to an arrest.

  Comcast, a company many of us love to hate for their outrageous prices, deplorable customer service, and bandwidth shaping, has been placing green networking boxes in the yards of residents in areas where they are upgrading their systems. Traditionally, the equipment in the boxes would be buried but the devices create heat and must have access to some form of circulation. This is all fine and dandy. What they haven’t been doing is asking the homeowners for permission to do so. Now, I am unsure if they are placing these boxes on the private part of the property or if they are doing it in places where they and the city have “right of way.”

  If they did it on the personal part of my property I don’t think I would complain to them or the city – I would simply have a little fun.

  I would grab the keys to my car and scoot off to the closest Home Depot. While there I would purchase a couple of 2×4′s, two sheets of 1/4in plywood, and a few backs of Quickcrete. Have you figured out where I am going with this nefarious plan?

  I would simply make “concrete shoes” for their box. I’m sure that when the equipment failed for the first time it would lead to consternation and lawsuits. I really didn’t damage their equipment – I simply beautified it! Its a shame that only the most hilarious of my ideas would land me a subpoena.
