AIRway To Heaven?





I think I may have found my true calling. Since I am such a sucker for bad reality TV and a wanna-be rock star with no real musical talent, I was hoping to be Air To The Throne! Can you believe it? An air guitar contest. Wow...life is sad!

Oops---I Crapped My Pants!

I don't know if any of you have played the video game, Silent Hill, but I remember playing this years ago, with the lights out, surround-sound kicking and being scared out of my mind!

So now, Eddy and Karen are forcing me to see the movie this weekend. I am hoping that I will not have an SNL-inspired, "Oops I crapped my pants moment"!

Wish me luck!

What is the matter with Luke Danes?

So--what is the matter with Luke Danes? He's been in love with Lorelei for 5 seasons, finally gets the girl, and then, like a typical man, MESSES THE WHOLE THING UP!

I understand that he needs to be with his newly found daughter. I'm all for it...but keeping his new life with his daughter completely separate from his life with Lorelei. STUPID!

Peggy--we can stop fighting over Luke now....he's all yours!
I'll take Logan---sexy, rich, and unconscious! Perfect!

Jack Bauer is a BAMF!


That's right...for my 24 buddies...Jack Bauer is a Bad Ass Mother (shut your mouth!)

Once again, Jack escapes from certain death and saves Audrey in the process. What is with the women on this show? Can they not survive by themselves for a minute? And that damn President Logan--when is someone going to get smart enough to shoot him in the head? We need to get Tony Soprano on the job!

Little Known Facts: Abraham Lincoln


As some of you may know, I have a very unhealthy adoration for one, Mr. President Abraham Lincoln. Here are some little known facts about the "sexist president" to ever hold office:

  • The contents of Lincoln pockets on the night of his assassination were not revealed until February 12, 1976. They contained two pairs of spectacles, a chamois lens cleaner, an ivory and silver pocketknife, a large white Irish linen handkerchief, slightly sued, with "A.Lincoln" embroidered in red, a gold quartz watch fob without a watch, a new silk-lined, leather wallet containing a pencil, a Confederate five-dollar bill, and news clippings of unrest in the Confederate Army, emancipation in Missouri, the Union party platform of 1864, and an article on the presidency by John Bright.
  • Lincoln and his wife held senses in the White House. They had a great interest in psychic phenomena.
  • There are no direct descendents of Abraham Lincoln even though he had 4 sons.
  • Lincoln had the largest shoe-size documented. He wore a size 14! (holla!!)

Happy Easter?


Happy Easter everybody! A sad, sad day is upon us. Haven't you always enjoyed the Easter Bunny? What could be better as a kid...Searching for Easter eggs left behind by the Easter Bunny. I suppose next year will not be as good....now that the EASTER BUNNY IS DEAD!

Happy Holidays!

Chug a Beer for Sopranos!


For the past few weeks, Karen and I have been counting the number of product placements during the Sopranos. Last week, we counted 6, but of course did not write them down. This week we found 5 product placements:

Red Robin Restaurant
Verizon Wireless
Mobil
Buick
...can't remember the last one.

Karen: I know you have them written down somewhere...HELP!

Sounds like a good drinking game to me!
