Damn. Where is the picture I took of the picture of HMT watching TV (that I put on my TV)?

Oh, Herro Tanner

At one point I put that pic up on my classroom TV and then took a picture of it...and then posted. It was like all "Inception" like. I just can't find it now.

Like this?

Honey, I'm sorry for investing our life savings in a failing business. Let me make it up to you with a nice romantic dinner at Wingdings & Things. First I have to call up my Internet buddy to check on his bloody taint though.

Wait a minute. I assumed his wife wasn't involved when he made the decision to go to Wings n More. Otherwise, he deserves a punch in the (still tender) bag.

She likes the grilled chicken wrap.

[mr. furley]

Because he's shy...send out some T&P to ArnCity. He might need his gall-bladder or taint removed. Can't remember which one he said.

I used to chat with ACP quite often. you too. I think switching over to Gogle Talk caused the break-ups.

guy basically shut down the text-chats after i sent him pics of my balls

some guys are picky like that, dan

Faster than she could learn how to teach a blind monkey to use a computer? If you are so good at it, why would you waste the time teaching her?

 

[Mr. Pickles]

I swear I could teach a blind monkey how to use a computer faster than my wife can learn.

My mother somehow found a way to infect every computer she's ever used with every spyware/virus ever invented. In her most recent performance, she handed over her password to "Microsoft" as they took over her computer and flipped the screen. Turns out she's so bad at the computer even the thieves can't stand her.

I'm on the beach in/on Borneo and about to fire up some Wires. Not sure if that's awesome, pathetic, or both.

I don't think there's much you could do on a beach in Borneo that would be pathetic. Maybe posting in the Shark Pool.

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT: The underappreciated Season 2 of Wires is underappreciated. I think it's more interesting than Season 1.

We just finished episode 8. We've been absolutely slammed of late, so if we get 2 episodes in per week, we're doing fabulous. But I agree with you completely. I LOVE these union guys, the Greeks and especially like how they got the band back together. Also, lots more bosoms!@!!!111

I just finished episode 6 yesterday. love the union guys, too. Also, the father-in-law to the one police, also a Polish type, who was in the first season but not that much, is a fantastic actor, just perfect for this role. Also also, Amy Ryan is a great actress. I nearly cried when they got the band back together, too.

How would you rate Ziggy's penis on the Offdee scale?

I could do with less of Ziggy's penis. Also less of Ziggy.

It's taken us 3 months to get through 1.5 seasons.

But we are absolutely savoring it. Even the slow episodes are cool because you can just feel the drama building and you know - with just a few left in the season - there's going to be fireworks.

Netflix only has it available on DVD so it took me a couple of months to get through all 5 seasons. I could easily start watching it again from the beginning within the next few months.

I watched Season One pretty fast but then felt like I needed a break, so waited a few weeks before starting Two. It's my last day in paradise today, so think I'll fire up a few more episodes from the beach. Wireless access on the beach in Borneo is a pretty good thing.

I haven't "stopped playing WWF" with anyone. I fear no challenge.

Nobody has even started playing with me, ergo everyone fears me

Right?

 

[Mr. Pickles]

This Daily Show bit about the VA backlog (Zero Dark Thirty spoof) is actually better than Zero Dark Thirty.

I have to work on my parents home computer at least 5 times a year to rip out some malware/trojans. My mother constantly clicks on something called "My Recipe Toolbar" and installs it despite me pleading with her never to download it again. My dad just told her to use one of the 7,569 cook books she's purchased and never opened over the years.

Yup. Borel is aboard too, though I don't think he's the same pilot after his DUI and public battles with teh fire water. Not sure what's going on there, but I think he's a scuffing. Castellano had a choice between Revolutionary and Normandy Invasion and he chose the latter. For what that's worth, which is usually not much.

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

Valcheck is in my top-10. Guy really wants to pay for that stained glass window at church.

I can't get enough Frank Sobotka, though I think he studied the Jack Nicholson bar scene in "Shining" extensively to master the look of evil lurking behind a sinister smile. Less Ziggy for me too. And is Nick Sobotka played by Ben Affleck? I

Frost, I'm with you. I'll be including him Saturday somehow.

I broke the keyboard on my BlackBerry yesterday. Our telecom guy replaced it today. For some reason he had to pull the contacts by hand. I'm sure that I'm on some kind of corporate watch list now with a set of contacts that includes Bogart, Shuke, Bubba and Zartan.

11th anniversary tomorrow. I took the day off work to watch the boys and planned to surprise AngryWife with a day at the spa. Which was great until the spa called her this afternoon to confirm her appointments for tomorrow.

Bought a new Honda mower today. Why didn't I get one of these sooner?

Bought a new Honda mower today. Why didn't I get one of these sooner?

How much did that set you back?

I bought a used Snapper (ha ha) yesterday for $150 from an old man who repairs, restores and resells mowers outside his front yard by a Costco. Traded my broken down Craftsman to him for next to nothing (was happy to just unload that piece of junk) and cut my yard with my new mower the second I got home. Pretty sweet. Never used a self-propelled mower before. Amazing what a sharp blade can do for a yard. Guy told me my old blade looked like a butter knife.

Yeah, Valchek. I have a hard time remembering people's names on here. Fantastic character, and I LOVE the bit with the stained glass window. I'm with y'all on Frank Sobotka, too. He just has the perfect look and demeanor for that part; great character.

Nick is a little like a poor man's Ben Affleck. We also have a poor man's Gene Hackman (Rawls) and poor man's John Goodman (Landsman) on the show. (I had to ask Mr. krista both these names. I really am bad with this.)

I sent Mr. krista into seemingly unending fits of laughter by asking him if Stringer Bell is generally considered good looking. I guess that was a dumb question. I sometimes have weird taste and thought maybe it was just me.

I was getting a George Wendt vibe with Landsman. Norm from Cheers mates with Peter King and TA DA, you get Sgt. Jay Landsman.

$400

I had a Lawn-Boy mower for seven years and it took everything I had to keep it running each spring. I would clean the carb, shine up the spark plug, clean the air filter, etc. A couple of days ago I was mowing some really tall grass since it won't stop raining, and the mower got clogged up. Well, this POS won't start up after an event like that without serious intervention. I did the usual routine of tearing it apart and cleaning the guts in addition to clearing it of wet grass. It met its match this time. I couldn't even pull the starter anymore. So long, crappy, unreliable mower. Herro, Japanese mower.
