Drunken blog production about to go up 1 MILLION PERCENT.

Yeah, but my only laptop is my work one, which they will commandeering at the end of the day and I won't get another one until I start the new gig in 2 weeks.

WAH WAH

It turns out that when you take a job with a direct competitor they pay you for the next two weeks and tell you not to show up at work anymore. God Bless America.

Did you get the walk-out by security?

No, not that serious. They actually told me if I wanted to I could continue coming to work the next two weeks but that I didn't have to. Tough decision.

More like they encouraged me not to come into work. I'm not exactly sure how/why they did it the way they did.

Bread and butter pickles is a great add to the enemy list, btw.

sI was going camping in northern Wisconsin and stopped by a general store to pick up some dill pickles to go with burgers. I made it out of the store and realized I had bought this vile variety of pickles instead. I was so pissed, I literally left the unopen jar in their parking lot. That's how much I loathe these pickles.

I haven't had these in years so refresh my memory, are these the same as "sweet" pickles?

So last weekend we were out of town for my cousin's wedding. The reception was actually on the ISU campus. Mrs. SLB made a remark about how it "smelled like college" in the building and man did it ever. Really brought back memories.

Anyhow after the short (thank God) wedding, we headed to a bar close to the reception for a few cocktails. Those of you on the text list got a pic of the blond that is the GF of one of my cousins. Seriously hate him. So hot. Anyhow, his brother had a lady friend there, Krista, as his date that I never met before. (Hack, she is half Inuit!) Good looking chick too and likes to booze. She would be perfect for me. Anyhow Cal noticed her at the bar and approached her.

crappy pic

He walked up introduced himself, shook her hand (I taught him that) and delivered his pick up like. "Hi, I'm Calvin H., I just got finished with 2nd grade and I weigh 65 pounds." Needless to say, she was pretty impressed. The reception was about to start so we had to go and as we were leaving I asked him if he thought she was pretty. He replied "yes, but I have a girlfriend." That of course would be Megan who is a 20 yo sophomore, sorority girl, in college. When we got to the car, he tells me that he probably should have added that he can read at a 5th grade level.

So of course at the reception Cal caught the garter. Dylan asked me what that meant and I told him that Cal was getting married. Dyl broke into hysterical tears. ( smart kid) I took me a couple of minutes to calm him down.

Mrs. SLB posted the pic on FB and Megan has agreed to marry Cal.

Oh yeah, I was really stressed yesterday and couldn't sleep so I thought maybe I would go out on the back porch and have a smoke. It was 1:30 am and the neighborhood was dead silent and the weather was beautiful. As I was looking at the moon a "shooting star" streaked down just a couple of houses away. It was green and I could see it break up as it was about to hit the ground. Very, very, cool. This has to be a good sign right? Plus green is my favorite color.

I was thinking to myself "wow, that was really cool. That has to be a good sign right? I mean it was even green." Then I thought to myself "of course the ancients would say something terrible was going to happen....."

Just saw this. Guster!

Shuke - did you get your California car rental class action settlement form?

No. What time period does it cover?

This one's pretty limited. You have to have rented a car from an airport in California from 1/1/07 to 11/14/07. If I'm reading the agreement right, you get $2 cash for every day rented (minimum $5) or a voucher for a one-day rental (time and mileage).

I'm sure I'm eligible, just need to figure out how to prove it.

My old man called me today to say that his financial planner told him that he was clear to take a voluntary layoff starting this week and then retire when he turned 65 in October. He's pretty excited. His plan is to get up at 10, eat breakfast, start drinking, go down to his brother's mechanic shop to visit and have a few beers, eat lunch around 3 or so, continue drinking, visit with mom when she gets home, eat dinner, have a nightcap, and then watch Deadliest Catch until midnight. Sounds like a pretty sweet gig.

That's it as far as I can tell. I'm sure there are nights when Deadliest Catch isn't on. I think he also plans on attending a few more Rangers games. Living the dream.

OKCupid Dating Update:

So I get cancelled on Sunday for a third date, and my text message to her the next day gets ignored. Just when I think, OK this one didn't work out, moving on, I get a text from her at 3:30 this morning, wanting to know what it was that my wife wouldn't do in the bedroom.



The girl I had the first date with, we haven't gone out again, but she has become my Texas Rangers texting buddy. When she called Verlander a ####er last night, I swooned a little.

I have a late night coffee date with a new girl tomorrow night. She has already said that she is not girlfriend material but is fun to mess around with.

I need a nap.

Not gonna Hipple here. But seeing Marvin call out somebody on their ride is hysterical, seeing that he's still rocking the Conestoga he used to escape the Donner party.

Ouch. Boy did I get burned.

I'll bet you and Fish have never driven a Miata. It's like driving a Porsche, but costs 1/3 - 1/5 as much. It's a sports car.

Right. A girly sports car.

Cretins. I'm sure you're all driving muscle cars. Oh wait, you ride bikes. Talk about gay.

Right. I ride a bike in spandex and even I know miatas are for chicks.
