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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
There has never been as much buzz for a presidential candidate than there is for Republican Ron Paul. His mixture of supporters are diverse and he has raised a ton of money. Everyone from pro-life Christian fundamentalists to those who want to see even more American tax relief support the Texas congressman. Personally, I could never vote for him. He wants to cut taxes and a ton of government programs, leaving many to fend for themselves. I has always thought libertarians like him were just pot smoking GOP members.
Las Vegas was once an adults-only destination filled with gambling and vice. The gambling and vice still remain in Sin City, but now there are reasons to bring the whole family. My wife and I switch up and spend time gambling and having fun while the other takes the kids to one of the famed shows or attractions. Since all the casinos want you to stay in their hotels, it isn’t very hard to find a cheap hotel Las Vegas.
I was having some internet problems recently, namely shoddy service. It would be fine for a while, and all of a sudden, my connection would be lost. It was getting to be quite annoying. The guy who came out to repair the fiber optic cables said the reason my service was so bad of late is because of the splitters. After a hurricane, the cable was installed again very haphazardly. Therefore, the signal had to travel through about 5 rusty splitters before it got to my modem.
Whenever I am at a party, there are usually three things people will ask me if I have. One is gum. I always tell them I refuse to chew gum because it is nauseating. The other is a lighter. I am happy to provide a light when I have it, so that one isn’t a big deal. The third is makeup mirrors. Why would anyone think I had a makeup mirror? I am the least vain person ever, at least when it comes to personal looks. I wear nothing as far as makeup.
There is a history of migraine headaches in my family. Everyone I know gets severe headaches that practically stop them in their tracks. There’s all sorts of medicine around the house, most containing acetaminophen, aspirin and caffeine to some degree to help alleviate the symptoms. I am relatively lucky, as I don’t get headaches too often. When I was a kid, I got a few terrible headaches but my adult life has been migraine free, save a few normal headaches.
