You Can Buy ANYTHING on eBay
I have written in the past about eBay and man breasts. Today I think that I found out about eBay and breasts of all sorts. While reading a blog (that to my knowledge does not write about nude breasts every day) I saw this advertisement and just had to snap a shot:
I never thought that you could buy those sorts of things online – I thought it took a plastic surgeon or a pixel surgeon.
Operation Treadstone
For the fun of it I’ve decided to take advantage of the free 10,000 step a day exercise program. I’m going to try to walk 10,000 steps or more a day. That way, if I calculate correctly, I can increase my ice cream intake to quarts a day instead of my usual summertime intake of half a quart a day.
What are you going to to do participate in my weightloss program? No, not for you, for me? Will you help me walk 10,000 steps a day? For every comment that gets left on this post I will add 100 steps to my daily steps up to 2,000 more steps (or 20 comments, whichever happens first). I’ll add a bonus 100 steps to my daily count if someone can tell me what book the title of this post comes from (besides my wife, who knows this book most likely because she’s read it).
Tally:
- Jeremy: +100
- Rebecca/Becky/My: +200 [right answer for the bonus question]
- Trint: +200
- Mom: +100
Total: 10,600 steps a day is now my goal (or roughly over six miles). Achieved today by an end of the day walk-around-the-sofa-fest.
American Idol’s Star of the Night?
Tonight’s super-star was a girl who couldn’t have been more than 11 or 12 years old. She cried during several of the performances. How do I know? Because when she was crying the camera crew was on her. She got more attention than the artists when she turned on the water works.
Congratulations Ashley (Ryan Seacrest asked her name) for rocking America with your tears of joy. It was truly like the British invasion video footage I have seen of teen girls crying over the Beatles.
Bigotry at the Bowling Alley
I wanted to point out that the below image [click to view in a larger size] is a sign of bigotry:
Tell me you didn’t love that double entendre. This blonde, British baby is clearly not allowed to stick its hand into the ball return. This sort of discrimination makes me sad. Why can’t the blonde, mullet wearing babies of Britain stick their hands into the ball return? This must stop. I demand answers.
I have one last thing to say: Frank Thomas. [Psst. That’s an inside joke with someone who probably doesn’t even read this blog]
Abby’s First Time Bowling
Tonight after work Kurt called and invited us to go bowling with he and Becky. <complete lie>Being avid bowlers</complete lie> we said, “Yes!” I actually enjoy bowling now for some reason. In fact tonight I bowled a 157 on the second game. Anyway, we said that we’d go bowling in part because it would be Abby’s first exposure to bowling. She was excited because she happened to have on a shirt with different sports balls pictured on it, so it was the ‘right’ shirt to wear. The video linked below is her first ever bowling experience. Enjoy it, it makes this daddy proud. Slowly, but surely, proud. I love to see Abby’s joy. And it doesn’t hurt that Uncle Kurt is yelling, “Go ball, Go,” either!
Evie, too:
Oh, Sweet, Sweet Justice
Many, many moons ago I reviewed a movie. I hated the movie and was sad I’d watched it. It is officially (at present), the worst reviewed movie of all time on Rotten Tomatoes. I reviewed Eks Verses Sever here.
Aloe
Yesterday at Lowes we picked up an aloe plant. How cool are these plants? Somehow the plant got a part of one of the ‘leaves’ broken off and the capsules inside werer full of the alue juices that I grew up wiping (with disgust) on my arm for sun burns. Plantlife just amazes me. Maybe I’m a bit of a bat botanist, or maybe I’m just a weirdo, but having plants give us fruits, vegetables, medicine and beauty is sometimes overwhelming for my little brain.
The upside of having an aloe plant will be that I can look at the spiney arms regularly. The downside is that I kill most of the plants I’m in charge of.
This is How to Spider
First version with ‘audio edit’ for dramatic impact: Evie’s Monster Spider [movie]
Original version ‘as is’ for people with a smaller sense of humor: Evie’s non-Monster Spider Movie
Thanks, Kailey, for helping make the movie.
Analog Tevelisions are Now Going Away
According to a reliable source Digital TVs are now the only variety that are allowed to be imported into the US. That’s right: analog, the beauty that brought us the 1984 Olympics and I Love Lucy – is going away. We’ve been discussing remodeling our downstairs area (with the $20.00 budget we have) and one of the blockers has been that we’ll want to get something flat screened, and HD. But it looks like Congress is going to help us out this time and force us, and the rest of the United States to switch to HD/Digital for 2009. Get ready: 0b1010011010 [that’s a 666 in binary as a joke – I kill me]
