The Big One

1. What is your astrological sign?

3. If you could be one food what would you be?
• Fruit Loops. Do I even need to explain why?

4. How many of your MySpace friends do you actually know or have met?
• Wow I haven't a clue. Okay, I may have to research this real quick. BRB
Okay... I actually know 15 people. There there are 5 close friends that I've actually never met, mostly due to long distances. So 20 out of 60, I'm really friends with, that's not too bad.

Yet another Example

Police: 93-Year-Old Drives Through Toll With Body On Windshield

A 93-year-old driver apparently suffering from dementia fatally struck a pedestrian, then continued driving through a toll booth with the man's body on his windshield, police said. Investigators said Ralph Parker hit the man on 34th Street in St. Petersburg Wednesday night, according to a report.

Ralph Parker of Pinellas Park drove for 3 miles Wednesday night after striking the 52-year-old pedestrian with his gold 2002 Chevrolet Malibu, severing the man's right leg, police said. A toll taker on the Sunshine Skyway saw the body stuck through Parker's windshield and notified police, Traffic Homicide Investigator Michael Jockers said. Authorities did not identify the pedestrian.

Parker was hospitalized overnight with minor scrapes, and was expected to be taken to an elder care facility, Jockers said. Charges were not likely to be filed, because Parker did not appear to know what had happened, where he was nor the correct date, said Bruce Bartlett, chief assistant in the Pinellas-Pasco County State Attorney's Office. "He may have somewhere in his mind have realized it was a crash, but immediately forgot about it," Jockers said.

Police took Parker's license, which he renewed in 2003. "That was the one thing he had to do, to get in his car and just drive for the sheer enjoyment of driving," Jockers said. Parker lived alone after his wife died in 1998, according to authorities.

A spokesman for the state Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles said the agency would conduct its own inquiry into whether Parker, who otherwise had a clean driving record, should have had a license.

Seniors age 80 or older must pass only a vision test when renewing a Florida driver's license.

Components of A Dream

Hostile Alien Takeovers. Old houses falling apart. Old friends that just weren't theirselves. A McDonalds that just couldn't get my order right. Grabbing packages of Snickers and Butterfingers randomly strewn about. REALLY old ladies in a motorcycle gange. And a Shortage of Milk.

The Family Dinner

Most Friday evenings around 9pm-11pm you can find me at Perk's Coffee & Tea on Perkins Rd. enjoying some improve comdey. The troop is called The Family Dinner. It's always a good time, generally clean, and cheap entertainment.

So I thought I'd share a few of the pictures I've snapped with my phone at a few of the shows.


Tauzin!!! Leave your shirt on for just ONE show!


Sherman the Happy Knome, Do you have a knome inside?


This is not what it looks like! Oh wait.. maybe it is.

Well anyways... at the conclusion of the show, they do the "Irish Drinking Song". If you've ever watched Who's Line is it Anyways, you may be familiar with the melody. It's a classic ABCB DEFE scheme, usually based on some mundane but slightly interesting topic like ponies.

Steve, one of the long time members of the troop, usually struggles with this game, and the result is often a visit from the "Hobo Train". A creation of many goof ups, the Hobo Train rolls through when someone completely messes up their turn to sing. Lately, Steve has been coming up with some zingers which leads us to the conclusion that he must have recently been laid.

Last Friday, the suggestion was White Trash... and this was Steve's contribution.

"We were very poor
and we didn't have a car.
So I had to ride my mother.
She doesn't go very far.

The only problem is
when you ride your mother,
when you hit a bump
you have another brother."


Needless to say, the audience roooooolled with shocked laughter and we all packed it up and went home, slightly disturbed.

Not Written by Me

"Been sitting here with my ass in a wad, wanting to speak out about the bullshit going on in New Orleans. For the people of New Orleans... First we would like to say, Sorry for your loss. With that said, Lets go through a few hurricane rules: Unlike an earthquake, we know it's coming)

#1. A manditory evacuation means just that... Get the hell out. Don't blame the Government after thy tell you to go. If they hadn't said anything, I can see the arguement. They said get out... if you didn't, it's your fault, not theirs. (We don't want to hear it, even if you don't have a car, you can get out.)

#2. If there is an emergency, stock up on water and non-perishables. If you didn't do this, it's not the governments fault you're starving.

#2a. If you run out of food and water, find a store that has some. (Remember, shoes, TV's, DVD's and CD's are not edible. Leave them alone.)

#2b. If the local store is too looted of food or water, leave your neighbor's tv and stereo alone. (See # 2a) They worked hard to get their stuff. Just because they were smart enough to leave during a manditory evacuation, doesn't give you the right to take their stuff... it's theirs, not yours.

#3. If someone comes in to help you, don't shoot at them and then complain no one is helping you. I'm not getting shot to help save some dumbass who didn't leave when told to do so.

#4. If you are in your house that is completely under water, your belongings are probably too far gone for anyone to want them. If someone does want them, Let them have them and hopefully they'll die in the filth. Just leave! (For goodness sakes, it's New Orleans, find a voodoo warrior and put a curse on them)

#5. My tax money should not pay to rebuild a 2 million dollar house, a sports stadium or a floating casino. Also, my tax money shouldn't go to rebuild a city that is under sea level. You wouldn't build your house on quicksand would you? You want to live below sea-level, do your country some good and join the Navy.

#6. Regardless what the Poverty Pimps Jessie Jackson and Al Sharpton want you to believe, The US Government didn't create the Hurricane as a way to erradicate the black people of New Orleans; (Neither did Russia as a way to destroy America). The US Government didn't cause global warming that caused the hurricane (We've been coming ot of an ice age for over a million years).

#7. The government isn't responsible for giving you anything. This is the land of the free and the home of the brave, but you gotta work for what you want. McDonalds and Walmart are always hiring, get a damn job and stop spooning off the people who are actually working for a living.

President Kennedy said it best... "Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country."

Thank you for allowing me to rant."

LSU vs Vanderbilt


( 34 - 6 Win )

It's always nice to be able to have friends over and enjoy the evening with good food, good drinks, and good entertainment. Although, this time around, I wouldn't have called the entertainment "good". Granted, there was happiness within the first couple of minutes, the rest of the game was nothing short of... entirely stressful. I was grateful I had cheesy chips and chips and cheese and a large daquiri to concentrate on.



This was an ugly game. Thankfully, in the end LSU statistically dominated the game despite four turnovers and 14 penalties. LSU QB, JaMarcus Russell, was the SEC Offensive Player of the Week while our defense sacked the poor Vandy QB six times.



Attendance was 37,309 in Vanderbilt Stadium. More than half of those were LSU fans... the other half I think were probably trying to get to the Grand Ole' Opry and took a wrong turn somewhere.



Alrighty... since games at Vanderbilt generally end up pretty unexciting. Here's some SEC jokes.

The Uglies

I was browsing
  • Sports Illustrated
  • and they had a link on the main page for pictures of cheerleaders. Well, out of curiousity I clicked on it... hey, I can appreciate a good looking woman; however, after the first picture... it was all downhill from there. I'm going to post all 32 images, just for arguments sake. Your opinion on a good picture verses my opinion on a good picture may differ.


    Attractive girl, flattering image of her.


    Same attractive girl, not so flattering image of her.


    *Woah* who let the she-male on the Oakland Raiders squad.


    And this is how you walk like a lizard.


    I think she just dislocated her jaw.


    Boobs and up is okay...


    There's no excuse for USC's lack of attractive female cheerleaders... what's up with this motley crew?


    I wasn't exactly expecting great things from Wisconsin.


    She'd be okay if it weren't for her overwhelmingly bunny rabbit like qualities.


    Alright Oakland... ya'll just need to start over.


    Decently enough photograph, but I think you can tell its not a knockout.


    Self-explainatory.


    Sweet tarts anyone?


    Attractive girl, still not the greatest picture.


    Can you imagine just how annoying this one's laugh could sound?


    And hers too?


    Pretty girl, but what the hell is she wearing?


    Suffers the same fate as the one above.


    *weeeee* There's more of a frightened look of "Please don't drop me" than school spirit.


    There's just something about the eyes and teeth that scream "veloci raptor".


    She has the "duuuurrrr, I'm from Alabama" look.


    There's just all kinds of wrong with this picture, especially forth from the right, front row.


    There is hope with this one, but not much.


    Awwww she's soooo jealous of the other teams way cooler uniforms.


    Greeaaaassssyyy!


    This is the exact angle of how I would want the entire nation to see me.


    Not so bad, until you get to the third one... then you get the feeling that she's laying a brick, not sitting on some dude's shoulders.


    The middle one is eeeeviil, I can just feel it.


    Clear example of racisim.


    There's a hair-i-cane blowing through Miami.


    Where did they pick this one up at?


    Redemption for the Saints for the hideous chick just above... pretty decent congolmeration of chicks.

    LSU vs Mississippi State


    ( 37 - 7 Win )

    So the plan for the day was to pick up Chad, get my car's inspection sticker done, head to Annagelle's to watch the game on the big screen at her parents house. She had ordered it on TigerVision and invited us over for a nice lunch beforehand. So I got up and got ready, went to Wal-mart, specifically to attempt getting the stuffed Florida Gator out of the claw machine (yes I was plotting evil and devious things to do to it). Well, sadly it's tale was caught underneath something else and $3 later, I had no Gator. Dejected, I had to move along.

    So I got my gas, picked up Chad, went to the inspection sticker place. Too long of a wait, so I guess I will just have to put it off some more (surprise*surprise).

    We were on the road to south Louisiana and had just turned off the Old Mississippi River Bridge in Baton Rouge, when I saw a man riding a chicken on the side of the road. I couldn't say anything I was laughing too hard... when I finally got my breath. Chad asked what I was cracking up about... and I just looked at him astounded.

    I said... "You mean to tell me... you didn't see the guy riding the chicken along the side of the road?" At that point, I questioned my sanity. So... just to make sure I wasn't going crazy, I made the decision to turn around. As we passed back by, I knew I wasn't just seeing things. There he was. We pulled over alongside the poultry cowboy and pulled out our cameraphones.




    Talk about something you can only believe would exist
    in the state of Louisiana... a man... riding a chicken.


    Anyways... got to Annagelles... chilled on the floor with Lucky watching the Tennessee game. What a bunch of pansies.
    So we sat down to eat a delicious meal of crawfish fettucine and texas toast. *thumbs up*

    Roll on over to the big screen, turn on the game. Our hearts all stopped. Mississippi State scores on the first possesion. I think everyone was thinking just about the same thing, were we about to get our Tiger Tails handed to us on a silver platter by... Mississippi State? *gasp*



    Thankfully the answer to that question was no. LSU went on to score 37 unanswered points. As a light rain began to fall, the Mississippi State faithful began to head for the exits. I was thankful for that because I was so tired of hearing those dumb cowbells they were banging around in the background.

    Now, I have to say the worst part about the entire thing was the quality of TigerVision. These people must own a maximum of two cameras. One of which was constantly struggling to find a focus on anything, the other I wish had been out of focus because it was constantly getting those *artistic shots* laying on the ground. Too bad there was some ref constantly standing in front of it... what a nice view of his big white butt.



    The Tigers rebounded from a heartbreaking overtime loss to No. 10 Tennessee by bullying the Bulldogs into their third conference loss of the season. After that, we switched back and forth inbetween ASU tearing up USC and Bama taking the wind out of those Gators. Well, turns out that USC did their annoying charade as usual (I'm beginning to think that they think that the game is only 30 minutes long.... ohhhh those californians.) and Annagelle lost a dollar, thanks to Florida. She's sending them a bill I think.



    So anyways... we really enjoyed the company. As we were driving back home to Baton Rouge, we saw this in the clouds... so cute so I took a picture of it.


    Can you see the heart? It gave me the warm fuzzy feeling :)

    And here are the pictures took by Adam, he actually went to the game. I said I would post them online.
