KEY Man

The funniest monument of the wedding reception happened during the toast by the best man. He was complementing the newly weds on how perfect they were for each other. Then noted that Scott was no longer available and all ex-girlfriends need to return their keys at that very moment. Several ladies stood up and started returning keys to Scott at the head table. Including one pregnant lady. But the priceless moment was the last person, Andy (Updates, suckas!) returning his key.

How Sweet It Is

There is that time that comes every spring, the feeling that something is missing. You try to find a substitute, but nothing can replace it. The only thing to resolve this conflict is to wait for the end of August. If you have to ask, “What is this glorious event?” Then you probably don’t feel the same way, but it is

Start of Football Season

After football ends each year, there is a temporally diversion by March Madness. Then possibility this extended into summer with NBA, if any team beside the Spurs is winning. Watching them play is so boring no matter who they are playing. All other sports are just to fill the time in between football seasons. I don’t even see why baseball continues once football starts.

Nothing beats the start of the season. Even though it is pre-season and the games do not count. No matter who you root for, this is a new beginning. Hoping that it is your team’s year and the empty feeling is gone.

Movie Reviews - The Homer Bourne Segment

Most of the prior week was spent in preparation for my sisters wedding , but I was able to catch a couple of movies.

The Simpsons Movie - This was basically a extended TV episode, which I still enjoyed very much and I would highly recommend. There is a reason the Simpsons have been around for ever, they never get old. There were a few things that they included because it was a movie. Like Marge swearing. But the did not over do it like the South Park movie, where the first 10 minutes had enough swearing to make up for all previous and future episodes on TV.

Bourne Ultimatum - If you want action, there was no stop. This I always enjoy, but my overall rating would be okay. I believe that I had too high of expectations. For the plot closure of a trilogy, I found it a little disappointing. I still cannot put my finger on what was missing, but there was something and apparently they couldn’t figure it out also. Of course they also left a little opening for the possibility of another movie. If you are a fan of the first two movies, it is a must see.

De-Shedder

A friend of mine at work just recently got engaged. Last weekend he and his future wife went to register for gifts. If anybody has went through this task before, you know that the main function of the guy is hold the scanner gun and fire away when directed.

Well my friend was telling me during this event of his at Bed Bath and Beyond, he came across the SHEDENDER and just couldn’t help to scan it. This “AS SEEN ON TV” product is the answer to all your pet shedding problems. You got to love these products and there wonderful info commercials, which you can watch online now.

This event just goes to show that men can not take the responsibility of the scanning gun. There is always some occasions when the guy are able to add a few items when the significant other is directed elsewhere, whether they know about it or not.

Something Weird Is Going On With This Blog

Lately after making a post, I’ll view my blog to see if everything looks okay. Well this was been difficult, since my posts are not showing up immediately. At first, I would come back later (next day) and these posts would appear. But I made a couple of posts before my vacation last week, and I still cannot see them. I am thinking that the reason is due to my computer. I was also thinking of asking the readers if they can see this posts, but there is 2 problems.

1st - How can readers tell me if these posts are not showing up

2nd - Not sure if there are any readers

If either one is true then it would not help. Of course if the 2nd one is true, does it matter?

Retirement

I was just recently looking at my reoccurring meetings at work and decided to see when this items ended. I kept going and going, and final stopped when I reached January of 2058. The meetings did not stop, which would make me 80 years old on this date. So according my calendar I will never leave this job. No retirement.

Now I am glad to be back in the US and back home, but that is a little crazy.

Congratulations

Since I will soon be heading out this weekend and I’m not sure if I will feel like make any posts until I get back (most likely won’t). I thought I would congratulate the soon to be wed couple.

Lindsay and Scott

Congratulations!!!!

Endless Stupid Theme

Today, I saw a safety message at work and it got me thinking how a stupid idea (theme), even though it might be amusing occasionally, is so over done. This theme I am talking about started with a commercial, expanding into a series of commercials, and soon will be the subject of a new TV show. The theme I am referring “So Easy a Caveman Can Do It”, which was the title of this the safety message.

I don’t understand these themes that refer to people being stupid or dumb. Like the popular series of books where you can fill in the blanks with any subject “_____ for Dummies” or Idiots guide to ________”. There seems to be no end.

Time for Vacation

Well it is that time again. Time to head off on another vacation. Over the past year and half, I’ve been to Washington DC, Ireland, London, Reykjavik, Paris, Amsterdam, and the trip I have failed to make any post concerning - Colorado Springs (side trip to South Dakota). All these trips have been enjoyable, exception of Reykjavik due to the location and I did not want to be Iceland at the time.

So, I’ve been on more trips over the last year and half than I’ve been in my entire life. What is the big adventure this time...well it is good old Poky. The final destination for many world bound tourists for the endless activities and sites.

All kidding aside, the exciting occasion for this trip will be my sisters wedding. In addition to this glory occasion, I am looking forward to vegging out and finally being able to catch up on some much needed rest. No work around the house. No getting up early for work. No plans, so to speak besides the event list previously. Able to catch up on some of summer movies if I feel up to it. And no worries.

~~ The Man Code ~~

Never talk to a man in the bathroom unless you're on equal footing: either both urinating or both waiting in line. In all other situations, a nod is all the conversation you need.

If a man's zipper is down, that's his problem you didn't see nothin'.

The universal compensation for buddies who help you move is beer.

Never hesitate to reach for the last beer or the last slice of pizza, but not both. That's just plain mean.

Bitching about the brand of free beer in a buddy's refrigerator is forbidden. You may gripe if the temperature is unsuitable.

Any man who brings a camera to a bachelor party may be legally killed and eaten by his fellow party goers.

Women who claim they "love to watch sports" must be treated as spies until they demonstrate knowledge of the game and theability to pick a buffalo wing clean.

My Favorite - If a buddy is outnumbered, out manned, or too drunk to fight, you must jump into the fight. Exception: If within the last 24 hours his actions have caused you to think, "What this guy needs is a good ass-whoopin", then you may sit back and enjoy.

Unless he murdered someone in your immediate family, you must bail a friend out of jail within 12 hours.

The minimum amount of time you have to wait for another guy who's running late is 5 minutes. For a woman, you are required to wait 10 minutes for every point of hotness she scores on the classic 1-10 scale.

No man is ever required to buy a birthday present for another man. In fact, even remembering a friend's birthday is strictly optional and slightly gay.

When stumbling upon other guys watching a sports event, you may always ask the score of the game in progress, but you may never ask who's playing.

It is permissible to consume a fruity chick drink only when you're sunning on a tropical beach... and it's delivered by a topless super model...and it's free.

A man in the company of a hot, suggestively dressed woman must remain sober enough to fight.

If you compliment a guy on his six-pack, you better be referring to his beer.

Thou shall not rent the movie "Chocolat"

Under no circumstances may two men share an umbrella.
