Aqua Teen

Has anyone else ever seen the Adult Swim cartoon Aqua Teen Hunger Force? The first few seasons featured fresh comedy that was strangely intelligent for a show about a Happy Meal. Ever since then, though, the quality has gone downhill. The movie was horrendous and later seasons on TV have been unwatchable. However, the fist couple of seasons are well worth the money. Check out MC Pee Pants and his attempt to hawk diet pills via oyramid scheme using a rap album. That episode and a few others from that disc are classics.

Boy’s Christmas

It seems like it’s a lot easier to get gifts for boys during Christmas than for girls. I mean, girls always have changing interests. One week, they want a pony and the next they want Barbie. With the boys, you can always trust any sports equipment or toy car will do them just fine. I hope whenever I become a parent I will start with a boy so I’ll be less confused this time of year when it comes time to buy them something.

Cancer Concerns

I find it weird how many of my friends in the industrial fields are worried about lung problems from years of inhaling harmful products like asbestos. Asbestos fibers are small and sharp, whenever they are inhaled over a period of years, they damage the lungs. Cancer and other breathing problems are the result. I even know a few guys who are seeking mesothelioma treatment because they think they have contracted the disease. It’s lawsuit time!

Vacation Ideas

Used to be the great American vacation consisted of packing the station wagon and heading towards Orlando, Florida to experience all the magic and wonder of Disney. While this is still a big share of the family vacation market, it is losing ground to other great destinations. I thought about going to the upper peninsula of Michigan and renting Condo Hotels so my family could enjoy the natural splendor from something better than a Best Western on a turnpike.

Sports Blowups

Here is another gem from YouTube. Actually, it has it’s origins on TV, but it’s easier to digest in this YouTube format, sans commercials. This is a video of the “Top Sports Blowups” 20-10. They aren’t in the top ten, but they are still hilarious. The best part about this video is the authentic anger of the players and coaches. I bet they now look at this list and shake their heads at their heat-of-the-moment behavior.
