Recent conversation with Brenda:
me: I'm thinking of buying that 5-hour energy stuff.
Brenda: Think it'll be worth it?
me: Depends on what it costs – that whole dollars to extra push-ups ratio.
Brenda: Well, considering you do no push-ups now it sounds like a sure winner even if it only gets you to try one.

Brenda: I am not cleaning that up.
me: I'll have enough energy to clean it up, mop the floor, install a new garbage disposal and I'd still have 4:45 left,
Brenda: Seems like there's a lot of competition for sales.
me: They won't stand a chance if I sell mine and call it boob flavored.
Brenda: Boob flavored. As in boobs.
me: It'll fly off the shelves

Kung Fu movie auditions of martial art knuckleheads. The face falling guy with the nunchakus remains my favorite but the first guy is a close second. He knocks over a dummy that's not moving and in his own mind is a karate champion. Go »How Much For A Pint, Mate?
I always wondered why Billy Joel was so depressed about Allentown. $10 for a beer?! I don't know how accurate this site is but some of the numbers stretch credulity. Go »Information, Please...
Shortly after I obtained my driver's license, I got brave enough to travel a longer distance than the liquor store. I headed to Gettysburg, Pennsylvania to visit the historic battlefield. I had always been a Civil War nut (short of reenactments) and Antietam I had seen recently (someone else drove). Go »
