I heard an adult say "i've got to make a fudgie" today. I swear i almost died laughing.

Somebody told me today that I look like Yovani Gallardo...I am white with light brown hair.

Last night I was reading 'By the Light of the Moon' by Dean Koontz. In the book, there is a character who owns a Jade Plant named Fred.

I was oblivious to the fact that one of the pillows I was using was in fact very near to my own Jade Plant and could have done some damage to it. My wife realized this when she came to check up on me and mentioned the situation involving my pillow and plant. If that's not odd enough, there's another character in the book who likes to do jigsaw puzzles. I like to do puzzles.

I think Dean Koontz has my house under surveillance and has somehow tapped into my brain waves. He is most likely going to have me captured and interrogated (I don't know about what though). I will then become the subject of his next novel.

 

Either that, or it's all just coincidence.

 

have you ever seen the moie "23"?

SHUT UP!

Cursing the heavens in futility...

 

No I'm not! I'm cursing you, you stupid voice, so SHUT UP AND LEAVE ME ALONE!

Somebody told me today that I look like Yovani Gallardo...I am white with light brown hair.

 

Wow. Based on my memory of briefly meeting you at MP back in June, I think I would not mistake you for Yo, or Yo for you.

 

But hey, at least somebody thinks you look like a cool Brewer.

My girlfriend and I recently purchased a tiretrack eel for my/"our" aquarium. Soon after I realized the eel looked just like Joanna the Goanna from The Rescuers Down Under. When I suggested that we name the eel Joanna because of the resemblence my girlfriend responded that it was a stupid idea as the eel was clearly not a Goanna.

 

Therefore, I silently decided that on this matter her opinion is stupid.

I got home from one of my kids volleyball games yesterday and Bob Feller's Little Black Book of Baseball Wisdom was sitting on my kitchen table. No one from my family brought it home and I even asked my mother-in-law( she'd pick me up something like that from a garage sale or something, she's cool) but no one knows where it came from. I'm kind of freaking out- I just want to know who did this. Nice gesture but a note would have helped. I guess I'll read it to my 2 year old for bedtime stories. She was already asking if there were any pictures of Prince Fielder in it.

When I was a little kid, I had a pet turtle, his name was Tom. One day, he was gone, my mom told me he "ran away", and I believed her, because she was my mom.

 

Is it possible she lied to me?

That was good for a hearty laugh... and no, parents don't lie to their children. About anything.

My mom told me that baldness comes from your mother's side and that her father had a beautiful head of hair so I had nothing to worry about. I started going bald at 21.

 

 

You are a liar mom!

[iluvlamp]

I love Koontz!! Even more I like the "Repairman Jack" books by F. Paul Wilson. New book coming out this month and can't wait!

[Fatter than Joey]

One day, he was gone, my mom told me he "ran away", and I believed her, because she was my mom. Is it possible she lied to me?

 

Well that is one possibility.

 

However the other possibility, is that your mom saw your turtle make its break, and tried to run it down, but your mom is Johnny Estrada.

 

My mom being truthful to me has never really been a positive experience.

That damn frisbee is still up there. It's just sitting there, staring at me...and whenever I look at it, it looks away, so I can never catch it staring. It's like playing eye tag with a girl. When you look, she looks away. When she looks, you look away. Then you realize that if she's really pretty, you can't seem to look away. Suddenly it hits you...you can't look away because of how pretty she is, but she keeps looking away. There's a blow to the ego. I can't take my eyes off this frisbee. It's mocking me. This is some kind of game. I can win this. Yeah, of course I can...I've never won this game before, but maybe this time...maybe this time...

Yup, that's such a bogus overgeneralization. Even if the X chromosome androgen receptor theory holds true, you'd be equally likely to get the gene from your mom's mom rather than dad. Otherwise, you'd never see families like my dad's where one brother has John Stamos hair at 50 while the other is completely bald on top before 30, despite the fact that their paternal grandpa died in his early 90's with more hair than I have at 27. You're pretty much never guaranteed of having the same phenotype as any member of your family except in instances where you can assure that everyone in your family tree had that phenotype and there won't be a mutation

Yeah, I know, but I was seven and yet to have the benefit of a genetics course to refute her empty promises.

 

I also look exactly like my father. Where the hell were you on that one Mom?!?!

[PKBadger]

Yeah, I was told that because my mom's father was tall (like 6'4"), I would be tall as well.

 

I'm barely scraping 5'11", so that didn't work out so well.

I've been too busy to cut my toenails. I really need to cut my toenails. Oh bother.

[hawing]

Remember the "don't shave for the Brewers" initiative around this site in August? Growing a beard wasn't physically an option for me, so I offered to put off getting a haircut. In the end, I wound up going about twice as long between haircuts as I usually do.

But the cool part about finally getting my hair cut again was that my haircutter went to the Ben Oglivie bobblehead game and saved the bobblehead for me. He had it in the trunk of his car for almost two months. What a nice guy.

I, too, had a pet turtle that "ran away" when I was younger. His name was Mikey and he was about the size of a silver dollar when we lost him. Three weeks later, I found him on our basement floor, unharmed and alive.

 

We deduced that the cat somehow fetched the turtle out of its tank and when it tired of messing with it, left it for dead. We released the turtle back into the wild a couple of months later.

[And That]

The scroll wheel on my mouse only scrolls up, as of this morning.

I want to leave my wife for Erin Esurance

[And That]

I'm listening to Hail to the Thief before listening to Radiohead's newest album. Hail to the Thief is a little overlooked and very good.

 

Someone is offering me way over market value for my car.

 

I got a used CD off Amazon yesterday (The Orb's Adventures Beyond Ultraworld... wheee!), and there was a pubic hair in the case. Sigh.

I want to leave my wife for Erin Esurance

 

I still have a thing for Betty Rubble. My question is, because she's a cartoon does she age, or is she MILF-perma-hot?

Pretty sure she doesn't age, but I've wondered the same thing about Lois Griffin.
