Big Bad John Rebuttal

I've been meaning to post this for a while. Jon Stewart finally got a hold of the Big Bad John video (from my blog perhaps???). You'll want to go about 1:30 into this video to see it. You saw it here first, folks! :)

Thank You For Being A Friend

If you can read that without singing it, well, you're too young to understand this.Estelle Getty died today.

I had no idea she had Lewy Body Dementia. She was 84. You can see more pictures on her website.

So long, Sophia!

Suck It Oil Companies, Pt. 5

It's been a while since I've written one of these. It doesn't mean that I'm accepting gas prices these days. It just means I've been paying the same price for about a month - give or take a penny.That still makes me mad. There is no reason why gas prices should be that high! It's an outrage! It's making me use exclamation points excessively!

I know, I know, it could be worse. I still don't wait for my car to get below 1/4 of a tank. I fill up before then out of fear the next time I need gas, the prices will be more than $4! This is why I use mapquest to find cheap gas prices on my route.

I'm still carpooling a few days of the week. Some weeks more than others as my carpool buddy has to fill in for other co-workers when they call in sick or take vacation. The nerve! Clearly, they hate the environment.

How Precious!

Sometimes girls dress alike - and it's often coincidence. That can be embarrassing or funny depending on the girl's mood. When guys do it, I think it's cute.

Case in point...
The first picture is Joshy. The second is Trevy Trev. Note the subtle differences. Joshy's shirt is untucked (it was his Friday). Trevy Trev's shirt is tucked in. I asked them to pose for a picture together and they declined. (Jerks).

Because they probably won't be happy that I'm sharing this picture with the world - or at least the handful of friends and dozens of strangers who stumble upon this blog - I'm going to help the brothers out. They're single. They're smart. They're not always jerks. They're funny. And they like white shirts and jeans.

Interested? Let me know in the comments section. And be prepared to send us a picture. After all, you've seen them.

NOTE: I haven't synced my phone with my computer in a while, so forgive these next few posts as they are dated if you witness my day-to-day dull life. If you don't see me everyday, this is all brand new information.

Let Your TiVo Do The Shopping

TiVo and Amazon are engaged. In the business world, they might call this a partnership, perhaps a merger.

Whatever.

These two are getting married and it's the TiVo subscribers who win. I think.

Here's what will happen: A show will mention a product. TiVo will send you to Amazon so you can buy it. That's crazy. It's like the future. You might meet George Jetson.

And if you can get one of those space-houses that do everything for you and come with a cleaning robot, let me know. I'll drop my DVR and get TiVo ASAP.

This was not the result of some wacky dream I had. I actually read it here. See? I'm not full of bull.

At least not on this topic.

JT Killed At the ESPYs

I'm trying to find this whole number he did. It was amazing. He sang. He danced. He poked fun at sports stars. So far, I've only found this tiny part of it.

Still good.

For Something Completely Different...

You MUST check out this blog.

It shows cakes gone wrong. It's funny. It's disturbing. It makes me want cake.

Cool Pictures

And they're not taken by me!

National Geographic has a slideshow of see-through animal photos. I'm including my favorite, the roundbelly cowfish.If you want to see the others, click here.

See? I'm here to educate!

Free Flair!

A few months ago, I was on NBC's website and I saw a thing to get free politically-themed pins on their website. I checked all the boxes, gave them my address and forgot all about it.

Until Friday.
I received this manila envelope from NBC Universal and for a second wondered what it could be. I shook it and recognized the familiar sound of a pile of pins! It was free flair! They even paid $2.02 to ship them to me!
Here they are.I kept two of them, then forced them on my co-workers. Free Flair Friday. I like it!

BTW, NBC is all out of the pins. But you could maybe get a sticker out of them.
