Todd loves Craigslist

A site where people sell stuff, AND bitch about people in a near anonymous forum? Why haven't I seen this before?

Thanks Todd.

Email Chain of the Week

Email Chain of the Week
(otherwise known as:
Nate picks Manning over McNabb. Hilarity ensues.)

October 4, 2006

• subject: Mulgrew
  That guy fucking loves me. I sent him an e-mail yesterday and he mentioned me again. I feel some self-worth now so I won't go home and drink some special kool-aid.
  -Nate

(Erik goes to http://www.jasonmulgrew.com/, reads posts about fantasy sports and T.O.)

• to jasonmulgrew.com
  Nate (from Longview) just emailed to tell me how special he felt about being mentioned again on your blog. http://www.jasonmulgrew.com/
  
  Then I saw what he sent you and now know why I just beat him at baseball, beat him last year at football, and am beating him again in football and pick em leagues. And after all your explanations (which were right by the way), it comes down to one thing. I have McNabb on my team and am in 1st place, and he does not and is in 2nd place. McNabb = MVP for me
  
  P.S. Fuck T.O.* Go Philly.
  (see attached picture)
  
  Plus, you should have totally stopped by and watched him bang his girlfriend on your way from Seattle to California, because they are broken up now (surprise, surprise) and you would have made a great camera man. AND THAT, would be worth the case of Ruby Ale I still owe him for getting mentioned on your site. That fucker.
  -Erik (Longview, WA)
  *And if you are going to hell for hating T.O., make sure you are first in line.
• I fucking hate you Gus and plan on breaking into your house and removing your eyeballs with a rusty melon-ball maker when you are sleeping. Bitch.
  -Nate
• Now I feel some self-worth. I rock.
  -Erik
• Hey, if pushing other people down makes you feel better about yourself, you should hang out with Ahn more often. Rusty melon-ball scoopers. Think about it.
  -Nate
• Wow, you regularly correspond with a quasi-celebrity. I use to run into a bulimic cheerleader at the gym every now and then.
  -Ryan
• to: Jason Mulgrew,
  Been reading your blog for a long time now, I've never felt the need to write an email. For some reason though, when I saw Nate from Longview's statement that Manning is better than McNabb this year, I wanted to puke.
  That guy must be one of the biggest losers in Washington State. At the risk of losing stupid readers, you shouldn't allow people like Nate to write in anymore. Well, maybe that's a bad idea because then you would be left with 1 reader, an 80% drop in readers.
  In closing, Nate from Longview, WA is a tool and never gets laid. You should cut him off.
  -Ryan from Seattle
• You my friend, are a prick.-Nate
• This is shaping up to be a pretty funny blog post...
  -Erik
• I'm assuming that you all are being pricks to me because you're jealous of my girth. Do you treat Garrett this way too?
  -Nate
• Yeah, I heard getting fucked by a tiny stump is awesome. It hits the sides baby, all 4 inches of it.
  -Erik
• Is that what your wife keeps telling you?
  -Nate
• Apparently that comeback never gets old.
  How about this one?
  No, that’s what your mom keeps telling me.
  -Erik
• Dude. That's just gross.
  -Nate

(And of course, that thought ends the chain. Or so I thought.)

October 5, 2006

• Thank you, Ryan. I will take this under advisement and will reach a decision in the next 7-10 days.
  Best,

• HAHA!!!
  -Ryan
• That's hilarious.
  -Nate

(I sense a little sarcasm. I have tought Nate well)

• You would run into her more if you had a chili dog that she could scarf down and then laugh as she runs to the bathroom to put her finger down her throat
  -Todd

(obviously Todd is a little busy and slow on the chain)

• Smoot, if you gave me a chili dog I would puke too... oh wait, you're talking about a different type of chili dog.
  -Ryan
• So I am reading Jason Mulgrew's blog ...the shout out for N8, I don't see it, is he the kid texting Foley?
  -Todd
• It's on his post about Baseball and Football. Manning vs McNabb
  -Ryan
• I think Todd was joking that Nate is the masturbating kid. Nice.
  -Erik
• I just think Todd's kinda slow.
  -Nate
• Boys,
  take it easy. I was actually (secret) in Seattle and was in the Great Northwest in April and May of this past year. We've (secret), so I may be out there (secret). Lovely area. I'm not saying we should meet up, as I will be having sex in a hotel room (hopefully) the whole time, but I'm just throwing it out there because I really don't know how else to respond.
  Best,

sound off

We don't usually use this blog to sound off about real topics, but after deciding to never buy the lettuce in the below post, I saw this in the news.
Ga. Mother Seeks Harry Potter Ban

Another group of ignorant close-minded people think that Harry Potter should be banned. Kids are going to turn into witches and warlocks and join the occult if they read fiction about kids in a fictional cross-universe version of Europe. Reading stimulates the brain. You should't ban anything. What you should do is spend time educating kids to distinguish between right and wrong, fact and fiction, stupid people (like yourself) and smart people, etc.

These brainiacs also tried to ban spanish fiction from their budget because "they objected to using taxpayer dollars to entertain readers who might be illegal immigrants." Uhhh, hi. Your kids couldn't hurt from learning a second language. And by the way, every kid that isn't white isn't an illegal or a criminal. $50 says one of your kids ends up being gay, and sooo afraid to tell you that they kill themselves when you kick them out. YOU IGNORANT BITCH AND EVERYONE LIKE YOU DESERVE A LITTLE REALITY CHECK. Like a hurricane.

Tasty Salad

Look closely below the words "Fresco, Lavado"......
Don't forget this brand of fresh lettuce, folks. What probably happened is, the water the lettuce was washed in contained polliwogs and these became fresh new frogs, right in the packages. So if you're looking for salad fixins with a little more body, then be sure and try this brand. Don't forget, it's the extra care that Mexican companies take that makes the difference.

TOUCHDOWN!!!

That guy in the back is sure excited about this touchdown...

F-U, UPS

So I was at work today waiting on an Air Separator to come in on our UPS shipment. I had checked the tracking webpage a couple of times and it was on time, scheduled for delivery on October 3rd.
When our UPS driver Ron showed up I went out and helped the receiving guy in the warehouse unload it. Guess what? My package was nowhere to be found.
So I called the national UPS hotline and the lady couldn't help me at all. So I got the number for the Kelso branch and called their. The lady I talked to there could not help me either. She suggested I call Portland, where the package was last scanned, and see if they could locate it. The lady in Portland was a bitch. She was either too stupid or too lazy to help me. So I tried the Kelso branch again and talked to the same lady and she advised me to call the national number again and have them put a search out on it. So I called the national number again and asked about this now missing package. And she argued with me. I could not fucking believe it. So I informed her that I was very disappointed with their service and wouldn't be using them ever again. I also said that I would talk to the other salesman in my company and let them know not to use UPS.
My customer was waiting on this one piece to finish a job he has in Portland. And he's going on vacation tomorrow that he can't reschedule. So basically I fucked him by not getting his part to him. But in reality, UPS fucked me. And I will never use them again.
I should have seen the warnings.....

I think this new shirt from noisebot.com made me realize what I want to be for Halloween.

What do you want to be?

Disc Golf = Good Times

So today I played my first round of Disc Golf. And it was a blast. The only thing that I would change would be the course we played. Eddie B followed me back from Portland and we met up with Dez and Collin at my house. We all jumped in Collin's VW Bus and headed over to Oregon. We arrived at the park realizing that we had no idea where the course started. So we just kinda wandered around until we found the first hole. Now we played at Trojan Park in Rainier, Oregon the site of the former Trojan Nuclear Power Plant. They blew the plant to smithereens a couple of months ago and recently installed an eighteen hole disc golf course. The only downside is the huge lake in the middle of the park. And about twelve holes had water in play. So I lost on disc, Dez lost two, and Collin lost my other disc. I just ordered some replacements off of ebay and should be playing again next weekend. And I am gonna try to drag Gus out there with me. With his love of golf and ultimate frisbee I figured disc golf would be perfect for him. Here are a couple of pics I took today of the action.
Here is Eddie B with his disc heading straight for the basket. Ed had played a couple times before and showed us the ropes. He also played the best round of his short career he said multiple times. His game was on and it was fun to see.
Here is Collin with his putt in the air for the second hole. He played a pretty great match and is looking forward to playing again.
Dez had a blast even though he missed this shot and lost two discs. He plans on playing again here shortly. We are talking about making a short trip down to Portland and checking out a couple of courses maybe next weekend. The courses in Portlands don't have huge lakes right in the middle of them.
