Embarassing

Had to swing by the grocery store tonight to pick up diapers, bagels and milk. As I waited in line the guy behind me was whistling Dixie. I became interested in what he was so excited about purchasing. On the conveyor belt, his lone item, tampons. I wanted to say "Hey, your stuff is more embarrassing than my stuff", but a polite Nelson point an laugh would have been more appropriate "Ha-ha".

I think that is the only thing a respectable man should NOT be forced to pick up at the grocery. I wondered if women get a power trip forcing men to go to the store to pick this up for them. Then I started to wonder, what items could be used to cover up the fact that you are buying tampons. For example, if you bought a bag of charcoal, a rack of ribs, 2 bottles of BBQ sauce, and box of tampons, would that balance out the lameness.... probably not, you would still suck.

Whats on my chrismas list?!? (#4)

Willing to take just the upgrade kit, if its cheaper.

Random thought of the day

I am glad people can't hear my thoughts. If they could, I would be in deep doo-doo.

Keep spending....

Article titled 'Senate passes cash for clunkers program'. LINK

I don't ever recall anyone saying "I want old cars off the streets, and yes, please take some my paycheck to help make it happen."

A side note that I hadn't realized until someone else mentioned it. Almost all old cars get less than 25mpg. All old cars are now worth $5K. Which means nobody can buy a cheap used car anymore. Which also means, all the cars that are sold for $5K back to the government will get destroyed, instead of being recycled for parts at pick-n-pulls to sustain other older cars on the road. But don't worry, we will pay for it.

Anything else you want us to pay for?

Top 10 Cartoons Of ALL TIME

I look at cartoons today, most of them are computer animated, and most of the suck. I thought about all the good cartoons I used to watch as a kid. I came up with my top 10 cartoons.

10.) Recess
Plot line - A random group of kids getting into trouble
What made it cool - Remembering recess time in school. Getting into trouble with friends.
Intro


9.) Inspector Gadget
Plot line - A Goofy bionic inspector is really supported by his intelligent daughter (Penny), and overly intelligent dog
What made it cool - The random, over the top gadgets that inspector gadget would whip out for any situation. The super computer book that Penny carried around. Back then it was considered futuristic. But today its a standard laptop.
Intro


8.) Duck Tales
Plot line: Good ducks vs. Bad ducks
What made it cool - The characters { Huey, Dewey, Louie, Scrooge McDuck, Mrs Beakley, Launchpad McQuack, the Beagle Boys and Ma Beagle}
Intro


7.) Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Plot line: Turtles are infected by toxic sewage, turn into crime fighting, sewer dwelling, pizza eating characters.
What made it cool - The weapons. Each Turtle had a different weapon. Every person had their own favorite turtle, but it seemed Michelangelo was favorite with his numchucks. The series died shortly after the 3rd movie. But they are making comeback now.
Intro

6.) Voltron
Plot line - Robotic cats assembled to form a giant robot
What made it cool - Each of the cats had amazing powers. As a kid I imagined riding in one of these would be the coolest thing ever. As an adult, it would still be pretty darn awesome.
Intro



5.) Transformers
Plot line - Entities from out space take the shape of earth like machines which transform into robots to fight bad robots.
What made it cool - The thought of having a robot or vehicle that could transform. What always amused me is that the decepticons seemed to have better robots. The latest movies are pretty good, but they need to get rid of Shai Le-bouf, he sucks.
Intro


4.) X-men (the original cartoon)
Plot line - Stories from the comics
What made it cool - This was your favorite comic book characters in cartoon form. This cartoon series was true to the comic books. Lots of interesting characters and stories. I watched an episode recently, and it was still great. The movies seem to be doing very well now.
Intro


3.) Simpsons
Plot Line - The life of a dysfunctional family
What made it cool - The first 5 or 6 years of the simpsons were great. Back then they had a story for each character. After that, it became too commercialized and focused on homer. I can't say I know anyone who still watches it. The best episodes were the Halloween specials. Its fun to watch those the day of or day before Halloween.
Intro



2.) G.I.-Joe
Plot Line - Good guys vs bad guys with futuristic weapons.
What made it cool - Lasers, and missiles... do they need anything more. Gi-Joe always rocked. Too bad nobody ever died. It was a cartoon soap opera. Have to wait to see how the movie does.
Intro


1.) He-man and the Masters of the Universe
Plot Line - By the power of grayskull. He man rocked, he would call out thunder, pump up like steroids, and ride a battle cat. That was awesome.
What made it cool - The cartoon was a mix of futuristic technology and Conan the barbarian type action. Even though they had lasers, they would fight with swords. They had hover crafts, but Heman would ride on the back of a tiger.... a lot if didn't make sense, but it was entertaining.

Teasers

I am sick of television teasing. These are shows or movies that seem to indefinetely drag on. There are a couple of shows that do this, and it really digs under my skin.
Mythbusters
Special Investigations (like 60 minutes)
Soap Operas
All musicals

Mythbusters changed its format where it recaps everything after every commercial break. What the hell, did we forget what happened 6 minutes ago? If someone didn't tune in time for the show, forget them. Can you imagine if you were watching a movie, and every 10 minutes, there is a recap from the beginning? This is extremely lame. Can you imagine anything in life, where a recap every 10 minutes would be something usefull. In a meeting, every 6 minutes, lets recap from the begining. The other thing that irks me is the new format. They take 4 myths and interleave the stories over a 1 hour segment. Each one takes about 6 or 7 minutes, but with the recaps, they each take around 12 minutes. So, to watch one myth, you pretty much have to watch the whole show. This sucks. This is sort of like being forced to watch commercials. Am I not paying for cable, why am I watching commercials? I think mythbusters jumped the shark when they changed the format and they brought the young assistants to cover myths. I wonder if people are just as annoyed by this, or just don't realize what is happening.

News specials, sometimes they have an interesting topic. But the news segment should be 3-4 minutes long, and they drag out the story to 60 minutes, giving you every possible scenario and telling it like a horrible story. How about we just wrap this thing up and you tell us the end. I hate things that are overly long.

Soap Operas. Ah. I won't even start.

Musicals....no Man should be into musicals . A musical is a 5 minute story stretched into a 90 minute movie, where characters sing waaaay too much irrelevant dialog. Very annoying. Waterboarding should be legal in the US, and musicals should only be allowed and used in Guantanamo.
