What The Hell Are These?

My friend Erica sent me an e-mail yesterday with this site in it. Holy shit was the only thing I could think of when I saw it. Some company in Canada has bio-engineered a living mammal type creature. It kinda looks like Golem from LOTR. Too crazy to explain. You have to check this out. Just click on the picture. Leave a comment, let me know if you're as weirded out by these little guys as I am.....


Have a great weekend everybody.

Wiffleball

So we are down to two more weeks in the Cowlitz County Wiffleball Association regular season before we have our championship series. There are lots of good games this weekend, as it is interleague play. My team, the 9-3 Pirates, will be taking on the National League leaders, 9-3 Jackmove. This has a chance of being one of the greatest games of the year. It should be fun.
As I was surfing the web the other day I found WiffleballRankings, and I thought it would be interesting to submit our league. Well we were reviewed yesterday and it was determined that we have the number 2 league in the West Region. I think we have a legitimate shot at number one. I checked out the Fresno Wiffleball League's page yesterday and wasn't too impressed.
Next week on Wednesday is my team's last two games of the season. We just so happen to be playing Erik's Bruce Lee Wannabes. The last time we played, Erik couldn't make it and we ended up destroying them. Gus is quite the baller so it should be a great couple of games. Unless we just give him the Barry Bonds treatment and walk him. That would probably be the best.

Good Joke

I know that I've already posted about fifteen times today, but seeing how it is slow at work today I figured one more wouldn't hurt. I just got this joke from Tara, who is the piss in my pants, here goes.

Two Trees

Two tall trees, a birch and a beech, are growing in the woods.
A small tree begins to grow between them, and the beech says to the birch, "Is that a son of a beech or a son of a birch?"
The birch says he cannot tell.
Just then a woodpecker lands on the sapling.
The birch says, "Woodpecker, you are a tree expert.. Can you tell if that is a son of a beech or a son of a birch?"
The woodpecker takes a taste of the small tree.
He replies, "It is neither a son of a beech nor a son of a birch."
"It is, however, the best piece of ash I have ever put my pecker in."

White Trash Tattoo (Uncensored)

Just got some fresh ink. I think the ladies are gonna love this one...

Did you miss last week?

For those of you chiming in that may have been busy last week, it would be worth your time to go back and check out the Sin City stories and Mis-adventures of Willie. Classics in the making.

Comics Rock

I came on to post the Get Fuzzy comic and remark about Censorship, but Nate beat me to both of those. On the plus side, while going to get the link to the Get Fuzzy comic, I found a couple other great ones that needed to be seen.

(damn, can't get the foxtrot comic from today to upload.) today's foxtrot, but here's the caption I wanted. "It's okay, my parents are cool with it."

Also, I was very disturbed by a few of the 4 headlines that popped on on my Adelphia homepage.
Hicks Tops People's 'Hot Bachelor' List
NEW YORK (AP) — "American Idol" Taylor Hicks is ranked as the No. 1 "hottest bachelor" by People magazine — and he's looking for love. The 29-year-old silver-haired crooner tops People's... Full Story
• Teen Uses Video Games to Become Racer
• Bush: E-Mail on Alberto 'Inappropriate'
• Study: Meth Use Rare in Most of the U.S.

• The old looking dude on American Idol is not hot. Sorry about that. He ranks right up there with Mulgrew, in the fact that he is popular and deserves a good woman, but not hot.
• I think Video Games are good, and here is another article backing me up.
• Bush does something inappropriate everyday. Granted, I didn't even click on this one, but lets assume something funny like an email of Alberto with a huge cock pasted on or something. Very funny, but probably considered inapproprate by those right wingers. or is it left wingers. Probably all wingers. Fuckin narrow minded wingers.
• If meth is so rare in the U.S., what Country is Longview in? I thought we were in the U.S., but I guess we are annexed like Wyoming.

Test Post

Drake

I can't even describe how much I like this comic strip. Get Fuzzy Rules!
I used to live with my buddy Tosh a couple of years ago. Tosh had this siamese cat Drake, that I believe Bucky in Get Fuzzy was based upon. He was an arrogant, stubborn, cranky little bitch of a cat.

CENSORSHIP

What is wrong with the world today when you can't even post a picture of your new tattoo?

Now I know how the 2 Live Crew must've felt.

Sissy Job

One of the good things about working in a bank (i.e. sissy job) is that since there are a lot of women, we always have really good ideas when it comes to what to get for someone's birthday. You can get cake, you can get ice cream, but lately we get this.

Best Fresh Strawberry Pie in town from Judy's on Washington Way. Absolutely outstanding, and it has been the treat at the last two bank meetings as well as the last 2 going away parties and last 5 or so birthdays. I am going to go have some right now. Suckas.

Other best thing about Sissy job? Every time the bank buys beer or wine for parties we host, no one else drinks the left overs. So guess who has two thumbs and usually gets free beer and wine...

Inventory Sucks Balls

So I get to spend this weekend doing inventory. And by weekend I mean working on Friday til probably midnight, then getting back here on Saturday at about 7 in the morning and working all day and most of the night.
What really sucks about the whole deal is we have it again next weekend. And that weekend just so happens to be Garrett "Teabag" Booth's bachelor party. So I get to miss out on some camping, some drinking, whitewater rafting, more drinking, BBQ'ing, drinking, partying in Portland, followed by drinking, and then some nudie bars accompanied by drinking. So while all of my buddies are getting wasted and having the time of Teabag's life, I will be counting copper pipe and shitters. Awesome.
I'm hoping that since this is our third year of doing inventory for our new company, that the people I work with might be able to bust their asses and hopefully we could get out of here on Saturday night at a reasonable time. Then at least I could run down to Portland and get in on some drinking, partying in Portland, followed by drinking, and then some nudie bars accompanied by drinking.
As for the double-secret mission I had last weekend, it was a little surprise party for "Teabag" and his future bride. And it was successful, as he had no idea. He was just hanging out at his grandparents and then all of his buddies start showing up. Nothing beats hanging out with some good friends, eating great food and drinking some ice-cold beer on a nice sunshiny day.

Got Fuzzy?

If you don't read Get Fuzzy, you really should.

Talking about beer

I found a very interesting post on The Daily Dump.
Read this post about budweiser.
Essentially the comments are the interesting part, and are reffering to the blog post about budweiser and budweiser select and how they are not good. You hear people say how crappy one beer is or the next, but here is a list full of people that actually think beer can be bad. Amazing. I thought I would share my comment with you, and then let you go to the dump and check out theres and see what you think.

(my comment)
I had an interesting conversation with someone the other day. His thought was that Budwieser Select is actually Bud Dry, and that they just had to wait until everyone forgot about it and then come up with a better advertising campaign. I agreed, because who would want a thirst quenching beer that sounds like it will dry your mouth out.
I myself like Bud, or just about any beer. But I wonder if all the beer snobs who posted so far realize the difference between liking something, and actually thinking it is good. I like Budwieser, but it is not good beer. As I like Pizza Hut, but it is not good pizza. Guinness is good beer. Pyramid Hefeweizen is good beer. Budwieser is less expensive. Big difference.
Conclusion: Bud Select is good.......enough.

Also, an interesting question was brought up by Stacy. If someone calls you drunk late at night (or early in the day depending on if its Willie or not), does courtesy require a call back? She says she didn't think a drunk message required a call back.

Why does everyone think that? I asked Tom how come he never called me back last month, and his answer was "Dude, you called me at like 2:30 in the morning. I didn't know I was supposed to call you back." That my friend, is no excuse. What do you think?

Oregon Brewers Festival

For those of you that are able, and actually read this thing, you should make it your mission this July to attend the 19th Annual Oregon Brewers Festival. If you have not made this a part of your yearly routine, you are missing out.

You get to buy a "souviner" (i.e. required) Brewfest plastic mug, and as many tokens as your pockets will hold, and then you trade these tokens for a taste or full mug of beer. It seems to change every few years or so, but last year it was 1 token for a taste, and 4 for a mugfull.

Now while most of the time you can get more beer getting it 1 taste at a time, the lines can be friggin long and there are a few pourers that will only fill exactly to the taster line just to be dicks, so your best bet is just to fill er up, and share with your buddies if you are trying to taste as many as possible. They have food (some of it out-fucking-standing like Gustavs German Sausage), music, tons of port-potties which actually aren't that disgusting, and you are guaranteed to see someone you know if you attended high school between Castle Rock and Salem or a college in Washington or Oregon.

And most importantly they have all the best brewers in the area. You haven't lived until you have had double digit alcohol content stout in 80 degree weather with 5,000 of your closest friends down on the waterfront. I am getting a little excited just thinking about it...
