Random thoughts that are pointless and too dumb to say anywhere else thread: 2009 (May – Dec.)

Did something happen to Trevor Hoffman that I don't know about? http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/frown.gif Nice job, ESPN. lol

To be fair, that content is from the AP. It's the AP's error.

The Brewers need a copy editor for their Gameday programs. I'd do it.

 

Casey McGahee. Hmph.

Every time I see a photo of Dave Bush throwing a pitch, his face reminds me of the Elephant Man.

I really want to go see The Hangover.

 

The wife wants to see it - but not that badly.

 

It's much easier when she doesn't want to see it at all, and I can just go to the theatre without her. Now I am stuck waiting a few months for it to come out on DVD.

[Brian the Automator]

I thought the Hangover was a bit overhyped, to be honest. It was funny, but not THAT funny.

There were a lot of beach balls in the stands at tonight's Brewer game. Which got me wondering, do people ever actually bring beach balls to the beach any more and if so, what do they do with them there?

 

Also, after a few strike outs tonight, I turned to my son and said they should have a sound bite of Monty Burns saying "excellent" every time Mike Burns strikes out a batter. If they had already done this before, or if I missed it earlier in the game I honestly was unaware of it, because the next time he struck someone out, sure enough, there it was - "excellent!" Maybe I missed my calling in life.

I just picked up my mom from the airport, she was returning from a trip to Japan. She told me she bought me a Yomiuri Giants jersey, so I let myself get a little excited. Two sizes too small.

Not to burst your balloon (or beach ball), but they also played the "Excellent!" clip during Mike's start on June 30.

Beer truck overturns on Hwy 151

 

Somehow, it seems like Homer Simpson should be alerted to this.

[burniebrewer]

I was intrigued by the overturned beer truck and was about to head out to the scene to help clean up until I read this line:

 

hauling lime-flavored beer.

 

 

I'm staying home.

[brewdude15]

Hasn't this happened in the past where a truck carrying lime-flavored beer overturned?

 

I think I'm experiencing some deja-vu right now...

[twobrewers]

I'm a dedicated distance runner.

 

Due to some problems with my back, I decided I should work some swimming into my weekly routine.

 

After my first attempt, I have some amazing respect for swimmers. I watched a few older, heavier women swim laps around me. My entire body aches, all because of 2 1/2 laps!

 

Looks like this is a bigger undertaking than I had assumed.

[Thurston Fluff]

when I a was younger and had 3% body fat I would swim a lap or two and be totally wiped out. Now that I'm older and fatter I can swim further even though I'm not in nearly as good of shape as I was back then. Take heart fat isn't such a bad thing in the water.

The Texas state fair has chicken fried bacon.

I just threw up in my mouth a bit. Chicken = good. Bacon = great. Chicken fried bacon = Yuck.

I went to the doc yesterday, and weighed in at 299. Believe it or not, that's a good thing. 2 years ago, I was hovering around 500, and haven't been below 300 for a looooong time.

[Invader3K]

Wow, congratulations.

[JimH5]

That's a great job by you, Nottso. A tremendous accomplishment, and one to be proud of. . .

 

Keep it up!

I almost peed on my cat yesterday. Not on purpose, but he decided to run into the bathroom and have a look at what was going on in the toilet. I was luckily able to avoid any damage to the cat.

Well how is he suppose to learn?

[Fatter than Joey]

Cats lick their butts -- I am sure peeing on him would have not hurt him.

My current cell phone is the third phone I've had that has had a camera. Up until now, I have never really used the camera feature too much...largely because the quality of photo is so horrible. I think I have discovered perhaps the single greatest use for the camera on my phone...taking pictures of things when I am comparison shopping. Yes, I could just take a pen and paper...but it's so easy to snap a picture of the product and/or the price and information tag, go home and research the exact thing you saw in the store.

[burniebrewer]

Well there goes my theory that the only reason people have camera phones are to take pictures of themselves in the mirror to post online.

I want a jitterbug. Then I want to get a pair of shoes with velcro straps instead of laces. Then I will be the envy of all octogenarians.

For some reason, I am especially enjoying the "rain" smell outside our house tonight.
