If you thought I wasn't bloggin much before, wait til Halo 3 comes out next week. The only time I'll be touching a computer will be if I need to look something up not available on the 360.
That being said, I found some wonderful links I thought I would pass along regarding Rooster Teeth productions and Red vs Blue, the popular series of halo comedy (or machima as I just learned it is called). No one reads this, so they are more just a list of links for me to refer back to, but here you go just in case.

Halo 3
Halo 3 comes out in September. I fuggin can't wait. It just passed 1 million pre-orders and there was a new article in EGM along with a killer ad.
halo3.com
1up.com/Halo 3
He's received the highest commendations for bravery. Countless decorations for honor and selflessness. But Master Chief's greatest achievement reaches far beyond what any medal could ever hope to commemorate.
For the men and women of the 26th century, he is a human embodiment of possibility, the last Spartan standing against an angry tide. This strength of spirit is forged through his legend.
Jericho VII. The Battle of Reach. High Charity. Tales rife with sacrifice and courage. Tales that grow, flourish, and inspire.
And while he shapes his own history, he in turn shapes the history of all who follow.
For no matter what horrors are released upon the day, they cannot match the reply of soldiers emboldened with his spirit, an army of Master Chiefs unto themselves. BELIEVE
There is also a lot of good info here:

including a cool case for holding controllers and games. I think I might geek out and get all this shit, who knows.

Washington
God was missing for six days. Eventually Michael, the Archangel, found him, resting, on the seventh day. He inquired of God. "Where have you been?"
God sighed a deep sigh of satisfaction, and proudly pointed downwards through the clouds, "Look, Michael. Look what I've made."
Archangel Michael looked puzzled, and said, "What is it?"
"It's a planet," replied God, "and I've put Life on it. I'm going to call it Earth and it's going to be a great place of balance."
"Balance?" inquired Michael, still confused.
God explained, pointing to different parts of earth. "For example, northern Europe will be a place of great opportunity and wealth, while southern Europe is going to be poor.
Over there I've placed a continent of white people, and over there is a continent of black people. Balance in all things," God continued pointing to different countries. "This one will be extremely hot, while this one will be very cold and covered in ice."
The Archangel, impressed by God's work, then pointed to a land area and said, "What's that one?"
"Ah," said God, That's Washington State, the most glorious place on earth. There are beautiful mountains, rivers and streams, lakes, forests, hills, plains, and coulees. The people from Washington State are going to be handsome, modest, intelligent, and humorous, and they are going to be found traveling the world. They will be extremely sociable, hardworking, high achieving, and they will be known throughout the world as diplomats, and carriers of peace."
Michael gasped in wonder and admiration, but then proclaimed, "What about balance, God? You said there would be balance."
God smiled, "There is another Washington...wait until you see the idiots I put there."

next blog button strikes again
So I saw the little choice for flagging blogs with objectionable content. So I went to that ass pirates site or what ever it was called and flagged it, then tried to find something a little better. After a bunch of foreign sites, another pillow biter site that I flagged and then threw up in my mouth a little, I found this site

A big time Reds fan, I need to save this to check out after the weekend series in Seattle that I am going up for. I hope we win so I can see what he has to say.
This also prompted me to get on myspace for the first time since last year at least. Got some pictures from my trip to LA last month from Apul's site.

not sure what was up with his camera, but you can tell I was in Hollywood, which is cool.

Next Blog button
I will never use the next blog button again. Because my eyes were scarred, so shall yours be when you click here. (sorry, I erased the link. I mean gay is okay, but I really don't want to see it. It's just frightening to see a blog with someones family pictures, then click the next one and see guys blowing each other. Fuck.
If you don't want to click, I understand. I wouldn't if I knew what waited there...
Apparently Blogger is like Myspace and says no graphic material, but doesn't actually enforce it...

"Get that ballerina a drink!"
So a couple of years ago I went camping up in the San Juan Islands with my good friends Garrett and Chris. It was one of the best vacations I have ever been on and I had an incredibly good time. There's a couple of very funny stories from that trip and I'm gonna share one right here.
We were drinking in a little bar in Friday Harbor, on one of the first nights, for a couple of hours and we were all feeling pretty good. It all started going downhill when some hippie chick, wearing a sleeveless sun dress, walked in. She raised her right arm, revealing a huge, hairy armpit as she pointed to a couple of people sitting at the bar and asked, "What man here will buy a lady a drink?"
Well the place when completely quiet as everybody in the place tried to ignore her. But my buddy Chris was extremely wasted by this point and out of nowhere he slammed his hand down on the counter and yelled, "Get that ballerina a drink!"
The bartender poured the drink and the hippie chick chugged it down with the quickness. She turned to back to my buddy Chris and pointed at him, revealing the same hairy armpit, and once again asked, "Will you buy a lady a drink?"
Once again, Chris slapped his money down on the bar and said, "Give the ballerina another drink!" The bartender gave her another drink and she wandered over to the other side of the bar enjoying her second drink.
Garrett and I weren't really surprised at Chris buying drinks, it was just he kept calling her ballerina. "Hey Chris" Garrett asked "why do you keep calling that hippie a ballerina?"
Without missing a beat Chris replied, "Any woman who can lift her leg that high has got to be a ballerina".....

Way to go Steve!
My mom just forwarded me this story about my buddy Steve that I grew up with. Steve moved away to Hawaii at the end of last year to get out of the Longview/Kelso area. At work he heard an injured dog out in the jungle up on the hill behind his restaurant. Well there had been people searching for the dog for a while now, and Steve ended up finding it and rescuing it. What a great story, check it out.

Post # 500 is about Wiffleball
So yesterday was the kickoff of our wiffleball league. As the defending league champ I had to defend our title. So I went out and threw the first no-hitter of my career. The Salem Blazers didn't know what hit 'em. We ended up winning 9-0 in game one.
Eddie B pitched game two and we won that one as well 14-9. We are now in first place in the Southern Division with a chance to make some noise this season. What a good time.
Erik was at a volleyball tourney so he couldn't join us this weekend. He plans on making it down next weekend though. I'm thinking we will be 4-0 come next Monday.
Oh yeah, this also happens to be the 500th NOSE post. Great Success!

Deaf Plan Silent Protest
TALLAHASSEE – Advocates for the state’s 3 million residents with hearing loss rally at the Capitol today to push for state benefits.
The Florida Council for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing plans to flood the Capitol entrance at 9:30 a.m. and hold a “silent protest” in the rotunda outside of the House and Senate chambers at 10 a.m.
Advocates are pushing for state licensure of interpreters, improved educational services, better access to emergency preparedness plans, increased use of captioning for films and television broadcasts and increased funding for direct services, according to a written release.
Other event organizers include the Florida Association for the Deaf, the Hearing Loss Association of Florida, the Florida Registry of Interpreters for the Deaf, the Florida Deaf Service Center Association and the Florida Coordinating Council for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing.

Famous Bowls and Beer Fest
Last night after getting home and cleaning house a little bit I decided to head over to KFC for a Famous Bowl and then go home and watch BeerFest. Before I get into my review of Beerfest I must first talk about the KFC Famous Bowl and give it the proper respect that it so rightly deserves. This thing is one of the most wonderful meals of all time. Mashed potatoes, corn and chicken topped with gravy and cheese is so good that I cannot think of words to describe how happy it makes me feel. I'll admit that I was a little skeptical at first but once I tried it, I was in heaven. Take my word on this and go try a Famous Bowl. You'll be thanking me later.
Okay, now to Beer Fest. I've got a couple of thoughts on this so hear goes. First off, I say we start playing a drinking game to this movie. Everytime somebody in the movie drinks, you drink. After about thirty minutes you would be hammered. I especially enjoyed all of the beer games and the insane amounts of beer being consumed. And Jay Chandasakhar (sp?) was hilarious like always. Now on to something I didn't like...
*************************************************
SPOILER WARNING: IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THE MOVIE, READ AT YOUR OWN RISK
*************************************************
Okay, so when Landslide dies in the huge vat of beer, what the fuck is up with his twin brother showing up out of nowhere? I mean come on, he wasn't even at his twin brother's funeral? Give me a break. And how convenient that he just so happen to teach Landslide everything he knew about beer drinking. Oh, and he wants to be called Landslide too, in his brother's memory. Oh, and he's banging the original Landslide's widow. WTF? So basically they decided to kill of one of the main characters and then just have him come back from the dead but call him his "twin". What a crock of shit. I really enjoyed everything about this movie except for that.

not dead
Sorry it seems a little dead around NOSE, but that is cause drinking is occupying our every thought(s). So please head to 365beers if you come here and find nothing new. There is always a new post there, and still the occasional one here.
A big deal for us geeks, Grand Theft Auto 4 is supposed to have a trailer released end of March by Rockstar games, and has a countdown on this page, so that's exciting.
and for your viewing pleasure, a movie line. Do you know the movie?
"Ladies, Ladies... I think I might be able to work out a deal where one, mabye both, of you could be pregnant by the holidays. What do you say?"

Stark Naked Pizza
Shortly after I moved to Portland, my roommate informed me of a nice little pizza shop that's just around the corner from our apartment. And it's not Ken's Artisan Pizza a.k.a. Yuppie Pizza that doesn't even serve a pepperoni pizza. No this place is called Stark Naked Pizza and they serve a somewhat New York style of pizza. The thing about this place that I love (besides being a three minute walk away) is that they also sell pizza by the slice and they have a small but decent beer selection. They'll usually have a cheese pizza, pepperoni, something vegetarian and a special pizza that you can buy single slices of. The specials change daily and have all kinds of crazy stuff on them. My favorite so far is their Leaning Tower of Pizza which has pepperoni, Canadian bacon, all kinds of veggies and some other shit I can't remember right now. Their pepperoni is also very good and that's what I usually go with. Two slices usually will run me about five bones and easily fill me up. On tap they have PBR (which you can find at any bar in PDX), Boont Amber Ale (pretty damn good) and Bridgeport. In their cooler they have a couple beers that I can't remember and the dreaded Hoegaarden (Yuck!). If you check it out I suggest you go with a slice of the Leaning Tower and a Boont and maybe a game of Dr. No on their sit down arcade game. You won't be disappointed.

Commuting (I can't drive 75?)
Since I am living in Portland now, but for some reason still working in Longview I have been commuting. And it is so awesome that I wanted to share a little story with you.
It all starts about a year and a half ago when I decided that it would be a good idea to be a "salary" guy at work. That's when the 50 hour work week started. Monday through Friday, ten hours a day. To get out of there by five, I had to be there at seven in the morning. After I think two days of working straight tens I decided that I needed to take a lunch during my day or I would go crazy. So begins the six in the morning start time. (Or six bells as S.A. says)
Now after I moved down to Portland I realized that I would still be working somewhat the same schedule. That meant getting up at 4:30 in the fookin morning. I would get on the road by 5 and be at work by 6.
This was all good and dandy until I started hitting the snooze button. For the last week and a half or so I have been leaving my house a little after 5 and then just set the cruise control to about 80. Good times.
Today I'm cruising along and I'm passing Woodland (pretty much halfway) when I notice that I just passed a police cruiser on the left hand side. He pulls in behind me, I lower the cruise control and he proceeds to follow me all the way to town. He quit following me about five minutes before I arrived at work (late by the way). About the time I'm rolling into my work's parking lot my heart started beating again. What a shitty way to start the morning.
Fast forward to 5 PM today. I'm cruising home and just about to Woodland again. When outoffuckingnowhere a police cruiser appears, lights ablazin. He goes from the right side of the freeway, across three lanes into my lane, slowing the whole time. I'm not going to lie but I pissed in my pants a little bit. I thought he was pulling me over for speeding. Instead he kept going through a little path in the highway median (how the f did he know that was there?) and turned North bound to follow somebody who was obviously going waaaay faster than me. Thank you that guy. I hope you got away.

Sick as a Dog
So one of my co-workers apparently isn't smart enough to call in sick when he is ill. Since he decided to bring in his sickness last Friday, no less than four of us are sick at work. I'm so stuffed up right now and have a nasty case of the sore throat.
I am getting all jacked up on Theraflu though and hopefully will be pulling through before the weekend. I'm supposed to be snowboardin Friday during the day followed by a night of heavy drinking and the start of 365 beers.
So hopefully this Theraflu will do the trick. That and maybe a nap.

Redneck Sensitivity
Three Rednecks were working on a cell phone tower-Cooter, Pete and K.C.
As they start their descent Cooter slips, falls off the tower and is killed instantly.
As the ambulance takes the body away, Pete says, "Well, damn, someone should go and tell his wife."
KC says, "OK, I'm pretty good at that sensitive stuff, I'll do it."
Two hours later, he comes back carrying a case of Budweiser.
Pete says, "Where did you get that beer, KC?"
"Cooter's wife gave it to me," KC replies.
"That's unbelievable, you told the lady her husband was dead and she gave you beer?"
"Well, not exactly", KC says. "When she answered the door, I said to her, You must be Cooter's widow'."
She said, "You must be mistaken, I'm not a widow.".... then I said
"I'll bet you a case of Budweiser you are."

WSU Cougar Basketball
I add the WSU because if you search Cougar Basketball, our school is not even on the top searches page. As a recent article on Coug.com puts it, "That's probably because the last time the Cougars were in the NCAA tournament the public internet hadn't been invented yet. "
The official site Do you even believe in miracles anymore after being a coug fan for so long? I want to watch the Cougs in the NCAA tourney. I need it. I plan to take the day off and watch it in Seattle if that is where I have to go to get nice and toasty and scream at the TV with the FIJI brothers. This could be a fun March. You know how many brackets in this area will be destroyed when we lose in the 2nd round? Tens, if not hundreds...

Sports Fans
Two boys are playing hockey on a pond in a Chicago park when one of them is suddenly attacked by a crazed Rottweiler. Thinking quickly, the other boy takes his hockey stick, shoves it under the dog's collar, twists it, and breaks the dog's neck, saving his friend. A reporter standing nearby sees the incident and rushes over to interview the boy.
"Young Blackhawks Fan Saves Friend From Vicious Animal," he starts writing in his notebook.
"But I'm not a Blackhawks fan," the little boy says.
"Sorry, but since we're in Chicago, I just assumed you were" says the reporter, and he starts writing again.
"Bulls Fan Rescues Friend From Horrific Attack, " he writes in his notebook.
"But, I'm not a Bulls fan, the little boy says.
"Sorry, but since we're in Chicago , I just assumed you were" says the reporter.
"Bears Fan Rescues Friend From Mad Dog Attack," he writes this time in his notebook.
"No, I'm not a Bears fan either" says the boy.
"Oh, I assumed everyone in Chicago would cheer for the Blackhawks, Bulls, or Bears" the reporter replies. "Well what team do you root for?"
"I'm a Colts fan" the boy replies.
The reporter starts a new sheet in his notebook and writes "Little Bastard From Indiana Kills Beloved Family Pet".

Wiffle Ball Fever
So we are in the planning stages for season two of our Wiffleball League. It looks like instead of teams from just Longview & Kelso there will also be teams from Vancouver, Portland and possibly Chehalis.
I am looking forward to defending the title from last season with my team, the Pirates. I should have a completely new roster though, so it'll be interesting as to whether or not we can repeat. I also haven't seen any of the competition from Vancouver or Portland so it could be quite the challenge.
If anybody else is interested in playing, leave me a comment here.

beer farts
It's amazing how great minds think alike. I get online to post a quick thought about gas caused by the consumption of alcohol. And I see Nate is thinking about beer too. What a great idea. I can't wait for the 16th, and hope that Nate doesn't mind that I too started early. If we started yesterday I would have Henry's Dark for day #1.
But back to why I am posting. What kind of drinks give you the worst gas?
Is it from beer?
Is it from multiple beers?
Is it from mixing types of beers?
Is it from mixed drinks?
Or straight shots?
Let's hear your stories, as the first part in a 17 day series called:
"17 days of Beer stories/quotes/questions/tomfoolery before Nate's Birthday and the start of 365 days of Beers!"

The End of the World
While I was checking out the beer selection at my neighborhood Fred Meyer last night I came across a beer called La Fin Du Monde. It's brewed by a French-Canadian brewery out of Quebec and is a "triple-fermented" Belgian Ale packing 9% AV. The name translated to English means "the End of the World".
And it was for me. I am shamed to admit this but I couldn't even finish this beer. It kicked my ass. I personally didn't care for the taste (too yeasty) but the alcohol content had me feeling "good" in no time. This is one brew I may have to stear clear of during my 365 beer attempt.
I also picked up a sixer of the New Belgium Spring Seasonal, Springboard. I am very much looking forward to killing them all this evening. I am a huge fan of all things New Belgium and this should be no exception.
Hooray BEER!!!

365 Beers
Sorry I haven't posted in ages, I've been extremely busy as of late. I just recently moved to Portland and I am still in the process of getting settled. I also had inventory at work this last week so that's been keeping me occupied. But now that I am "mostly" all moved and done with inventory, I should be able to post on a more regular basis.
Recently while checking out the sites I normally surf (ginapalooza, lisaopolis, abc news, mulgrew, planetdan, red red rine, fark, the letter d, waiterrant, espn, etc.) I came across a link to a site called 365 beer. This site was for a drinking game in which the goal was to drink a different beer every day for a year. When I found the site it was open to anybody to sign up. But since it was linked to Fark.com, soon they shut it down and only opened it to a few, priveledged drinkers. Well since then I have decided that I want to give this a try.
(One thing I have noticed about Portland is all of the different varieties of beers. At the Plaid Pantry near my place they have about 30 different beers. And that's just at the Plaid Pantry. With something like thirty different breweries in Portland I don't think finding that many different beers will be a problem. And knowing how I enjoy beer so much I figured that this sounds like fun.)
My goal is to start on my 30th birthday (February 16th) and drink a different beer a day for the year. Now, on the original webpage it said that you just had to finish four ounces of a beer for it to count. Fuck that. I am going to make myself finish the whole beer for it to count regardless of whether it's a 12 oz can, 16 oz pint or 22 oz bottle (or bigger).
I may also start another blog to keep track of all this consumption. Anybody else interested in giving it a try? I'm looking at you Gus, Smooty and Dicko.....

Isn't the internet wonderful?
Where else can you search for a picture of Chicken, find instead a picture of a McDonald's chicken nugget that is actually a fried Chicken Head , which leads you to this beauty

In spirit of Smooty's new profile picture, I changed mine, and then found this beauty that was too good not to post.

long time no post
Wow, has it really been almost 2 weeks since any of us posted? Damn.
Well how about a quick recap.
Christmas was good. I didn't get much, which is okay because I already bought myself the 360 this year and really didn't want anything but time to play it.
I got sick. Real sick and missed a few days of work. As much fun as sleeping til 2 or 3 every day is, when you wake up covered in sweat, it's no fun. But after 45+ hours of sleep in 3 days, insomnia set in and I finally got to play some Saints Row on the 360, so got that Christmas wish after all.
The one cool thing my parents got us was a new hot tub cover. That was great...and then after 3 days of getting the hot tub up and going for new years eve, something broke, water hit the heating element, a loud bang, and all that effort was for nothing as the fucker sits in my backyard full of luke warm water, probably cooled to a nice 40 degrees or so right now.
Willie turned 30 and came home to visit. Magnums of champagne taste good. Happy birthday you old fucker.
I finally won a week in pick-em football and got my $20 entry fee back. But I didn't win it all, and so the $30 I coughed up by dropping from 1st to 4th in our fantasy league, the $15 I lost in survivor pick em, $10 in bowl pics, and $19 or so that I plunked down for the KLOG pool is all gone. I did win $50 on a Hawks game after a game winning 50+ yard field goal made my winning score come up at the moose lodge. And I won 2 free pizzas in the Daily News weekly pool, so overall, I think I came out just barely ahead. I still have an outside chance for some money in the Superbowl on Hewey's board. That will swing my end of year betting frenzy to either a barely negative close, or a very positive finish.
Anyone want to put money on march maddness? Anyone think the Cougs can hold on to their new shiny top 25 ranking and make it to the dance? Washington State Men's Basketball Earns National Ranking Fuck that would be outstanding. The second half of the game versus UCLA last month was the first time I had watched more than 5 minutes of Cougar basketball since my junior year in 1998.
And on that same cougar related topic, Washington State's Butch T. Cougar Named Capital One Mascot of the Year
And last but no least, Nate had a chance at the final KLOG week pick em on all the bowl pics. And lost the tiebreaker costing him about $176. That could have bought a whole lot of pudding.
