Best Sign Ever
So the wife and I went to the 99 for a drink and some appetizers tonight, and they had perhaps the best sign ever hanging on the wall. Right between the men's room and woman's room there was a chart... this chart had the numbers one thru twenty on one side and increments of weight from 100 to 260 by tens on the other side. In the middle? Your blood alcohol content. So this sign basically told you how many drinks you could have before being legally drunk. How fantastic is that? In my younger days, I would have shrunk it down, laminated it and kept it in my wallet...

I'm A Sad Sad Little Man
So it's 10:30 on a Friday night and I'm home sitting in front of the tv watching 20/20.. sad huh. Anyone else catch this Sarah Palin interview? It's a half hour in and she has finally answered a question Charlie Gibson asked her. For the first thirty minutes of the interview, she successfully dodged each question. Matter of fact, she was very Ace Ventura like in her answers...
He's asked her two and three times the same exact questions and she just doesn't want to answer. She seems to think assault rifles are ok to have (cuz the deer shoot back apparently, so the hunters really need the heavy artillery). And if you can't tell, I'm not voting republican...
Gibson asked her about her foreign policy credentials (russia is close to alaska, so that counts right?) and she responded by talking about her energy conservation credentials.. umm what? As the great Chris Tucker once said.. "do you understand the words that are coming out of my mouth?"
Electing a 72 year old with a myriad of health issues and a person who can't answer a question correctly really scares me...

He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother
So I’m sitting there last night, watching something on 9/11 on the History Channel and I get a text message from my brother. I’m thinking, he’s getting married soon, owns a house, maybe he needs some advice or something from his been there done that big brother…
I couldn’t have been more wrong. His question? What was the name of the show on after Duck Tales? (Tale Spin) Followed by, what was the pilot’s name on the show? (Launchpad McQuack) And of course, I also had to remind him about GizmoDuck.
It’s a good thing he has a dorky older brother that can help him out in his time of need huh…

Fall Tv Thoughts
So (I start a lot of posts with that word, don't I) those of you who know me, know I love my tv. In fact, it's already been decided that if I was to ever get divorced, she can have everything else, just give me the big tv. Not that I have good taste or anything, in fact my taste in tv shows can be suspect at times, but I thought I'd quickly go thru the shows that interest me this fall...
Sundays, there really isn't much on. We'll watch the Amazing Race, but that's about it...(with a full day of football of course. i'm on the fence.. thinking of getting direct tv, anyone out there have it and like it?)
Monday on the other hand, is a completely different story. The two drv's in the house will be working some overtime. First off there's the CBS lineup. How I Met Your Mother is a must watch and we usually watch Big Bang Theory too, which is surprisingly funny. The problem is, it's opposite Chuck (highly underrated, very fun show) and Dancing With The Stars (the wife, not me). Then of course, there's Heroes, a can't miss show for me.
Tuesdays we watch House and Fringe on Fox, and we'll most likely tivo Privileged on the CW. We watched the first episode, and liked it so we'll give it a whirl for a bit to see if it pans out. (the wife was/is a huge Gilmore Girls fan, and this show has a very similar writing style. quick, rapid fire dialog, with no pauses for the laugh track)
Wednesdays we'll go with Bones, while recording Pushing Daisies (very good show). Thankfully there's really nothing on after that, so we'll just watch Daisies after Bones.
Thursdays are strictly NBC with My Name Is Earl, The Office and 30 Rock. I'd also like to give Life On Mars a whirl, and the wife records Supernatural faithfully.
Friday, the wife will watch Ghost Whisperer while I watch Jennifer Love Hewitt in HD. Last year I got into Life, but I never make it past 10 o'clock on Friday nights before I fall asleep... wait I mean, I'll be out at the college bars drinking the night away so I'll miss it..
Did I miss anything? Anyone want to recommend a show that they love? Of course besides all that, I'll be watching my two other favorite channels in the Discovery Channel and History Channel. And this doesn't take into account when Lost starts either...

Nobody Puts Baby In A Corner
People who makes these types of things have way too much time on their hands. That being said, the person that did this is a genius...
However.. this video, just might be better. Who knew Papelbon had moves like that? Hysterical stuff, although you've gotta admit he's a good sport about the whole thing. I'm not sure I'd want millions of people seeing me dress in drag while dancing to the Bill Medley and Jennifer Warnes classic...
Football tackle of the year? The guy has great timing to say the least..

Gas Mileage
Remember me??
Do ride-on lawn mowers get better gas mileage then cars? This is the only logical explanation I can come up with as to why two different people just drove (rode?) down the street on lawn mowers. Unless this is the Maine version of a convertible: converts from functional machine to transportation :)
In other news, just because you own a shirt/sweater that is long enough to cover your butt, that does NOT make it a dress! I know the longer sweater with leggings/thick tights look is in, but I think the key element in the outfit is the article of clothing covering your legs. Without it you just look like you forgot pants- even if you did remember fluffy boots... Had I not been late to class I would have taken a picture it was just that bad!

Brrrrrrrrr
When I left the house this morning at 7:45 it was 39 degrees outside.
Technically it's still summer, right? Someone needs to get the memo to the state of Maine. I half expected to see snow on the ground when I walked to the car...
