About Me

Your face looks like somebody tried to put out a forest fire with a screwdriver. Awww yeah. $240 worth of pudding.

My Interests


Beer beer beer bed bed bed! I'm generally interested in Guinness, Boddingtons, Sam Adams (except for that Summer Wheat crap), Brooklyn Brown Ale and Brooklyn Chocolate Stout, Road Dog, Newcastle, Bass, Optimator, Jack the Quaffer Porter, Iron Rat Stout, Goat's Breath, Shiner Bock, Fullers London Porter, Coopers Stout, Kostritzer, Anchor Steam (and Porter), and Colt 45... also sports, reading, movies, napping when the moment calls for it, and winning the lotto. The last one is still a work in progress. Not really even in progress, since I don't buy tickets. But it's in my mind at least. Not quite the front of my mind, but not quite the back either. Somewhere in the middle. Yes, I have a job. Not at Happy Burger, either. Although free sliced pickles would be sweet...

I'd like to meet:



adopt your own virtual pet!I wanna meet a Human-Animal hybrid. Damn that would be sweet. Verbatim, from Dubya's State of the Union address on 1/31:"A hopeful society has institutions of science and medicine that do not cut ethical corners, and that recognize the matchless value of every life. Tonight I ask you to pass legislation to prohibit the most egregious abuses of medical research: human cloning in all its forms, creating or implanting embryos for experiments, creating human-animal hybrids, and buying, selling, or patenting human embryos. Human life is a gift from our Creator -- and that gift should never be discarded, devalued or put up for sale."

Music:

Punk, ska, jazz, blues, Moop, Faith + One, rock, classic rock, swing, big band, rockabilly, little bit of rap/hip hop as long as it's not too dumb (the ones that rap about their gold teeth aren't as much fun)...... and the 2 SKINNEE J's! Go out and download (or buy, if you're the honest type) their CD "Supermercado", you shall not be disappointed. Unless you suck, in which case you might be disappointed.

Movies:

Super Troopers, The Big Lebowski, The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou, Snatch, Swingers, Memento, Victory, Bachelor Party, Fletch, Rad, Clerks, Mallrats, Dogma, Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back, Donnie Darko, Office Space, Pulp Fiction, Best in Show, A Mighty Wind, Cabin Boy, Anchorman, Old School, Napoleon Dynamite, Stripes, Remo Williams, The Usual Suspects, Dazed and Confused, Reservoir Dogs, Three Amigos, Braveheart, Rad, Wet Hot American Summer, Orgazmo, Baseketball, Beerfest, Yellow Submarine...... and more that I can't think of at the moment.

Television:

Simpsons, South Park, The Office, My Name is Earl, How I Met Your Mother (but only the parts with Doogie Howser in them), Futurama, Family Guy, Scrubs, A-Team, Dukes of Hazzard, The State, Daily Show, Venture Brothers, Get a Life.......... crap, that's mostly cartoons or shows that have been cancelled 10 or 20 years ago. What a loser.

Books:

Ishmael, The Story of B, The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy series (the movie was kinda weak), the Dark Tower series, Long Dark Teatime of the Soul, Superfudge, Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency, Harry Potter (booya!), Running Man, The Long Walk, and of course any Bloom County or Outland books by Berke Breathed. Also Calvin and Hobbes books by Watterson. Some might say I'm in touch with my inner child. Others might say I'm just incredibly immature.

Heroes:

Chef Boyardee

My Blog

Parking Lot Fun (and other stuff, apparently)

People never cease to make me laugh at them. While pointing. So I'm at the mall today, and of course there's a traffic jam of people looking for that perfect parking spot that of course doesn't exist,...

More annoying people

I hate when people put an asterisk (*) in something they're writing, but then never put a corresponding asterisk at the bottom of whatever they're writing to put in the footnote to explain the initial...

Driving for Teenagers

Okay, in light of Bob's hellacious fender bender last week, I've decided that the youth of the nation needs my knowledge. Especially since the kids I'm coaching this season will be getting their permi...

Six Weird Things

This is a game called "Six Weird Things". It starts by having a person type six weird things or habits about themselves in a blog. Then that person "tags" six people to do the same thing, and it goes ...

I hate cashiers

Do all cashiers go through some sort of secret training when they get their job? Why do they all do the same annoying thing after you make your purchase? Does this sound familiar? You hand the cashier...

My job is wonderful

So this afternoon we're all folding letters, stuffing envelopes, and labeling said envelopes. I would say this is a total waste of my college education, but by an amazing coincidence, my maj...
