First the good news.  I got an awesome 3.2 megapixel camera phone yesterday.  Some may question why I would spend the money I did for a phone that has a good camera when I could have just bought the camera separate.  Fact is I do not like carrying two things around.  This solution fits it all into one nice little package.  It will work great for KL.com as now I'll have more photos from everything (and I won't have to borrow a camera to do it).

Now today I was at Office Space getting another thumbdrive.  There is one register open.  The person at that register has a stupid problem and so a small line forms.  I made the mistake of walking 3 feet away to check out some flashlights. 

Sure enough a hildabeast fire breathing angry old women literally RUNS to my spot in line.  Being that I had an hour lunch and still had plenty of time, I did not really care.  I just wanted to say how much I hate arrogant people who are in a hurry.  As I watched her do her annoying old lady run/walk to her car, I envisioned her getting splattered onto rt 30 because she was in a hurry and pulled out in front of a MAC truck.

It did not happen :(

After that I went to Subway (don't tell Noah).  Why is it there is always those people who are sent out from their workplace to get 12 sandwiches?  When I was in Hawaii, a lady ordered 13 footlongs..... THIRTEEN of them.  She also made EACH ONE a meal, which means she had to get chips and a drink.  Keep in mind this particular Subway was located in a GROCERY STORE.  She could have gotten 2 bags of chips and a 2 liter and saved a ton of money.  Anyway every time I go out their is the idiot with the list of crap they have to get, how annoying.

To all those people, the simple way to get out of that is to screw it up the first time. Find out who is allergic to what and make sure they get it on their sandwich, also make sure you forget 1 or 2 people (preferably a boss or a suit).  They will never send you again.  Oh and yea... let the 1 sandwich guys go first, it's only the right thing to do.

Okay, now that I will regularly start posting again, and possibly altering the system for some guest to post as well, I guess I should cover everything that happened since.... well Halloween.

I don't remember Thanksgiving, AB moved home, Cenkner's got an awesome popcorn machine, some girl told me I ruined her life, Christmas was funny, buttons got 10 new toys, New Years was fun, still writing 2006 for things, went to awesome penguin games, saw Punxatawny Phil converse with the inner circle, and finally it snowed.

That was about it.  Now back to this Punxatawny Phil thing.  Here are a few things I learned about Groundhogs day.  Punxatawny is not like the movie.  I had my hopes up that Ned Ryerson would come up to me on the street, but it did not happen.  Also Gobbler's Knob is like in the middle of nowhere, not the center of town.  To get there you can walk 2 miles in the snow up a hill, or you can take a school bus.  If you take the bus, forget about drinking because 18 state cops will check you before getting on the bus, unless you are a girl.  The inner circle consists of a bunch of old guys in tuxedo's and top hats.  One of them, named "Big Ben" also is the owner of a huge Flavor Flav type clock that he wears around his neck.  It is quite rediculous, but funny.  The inner circle is a cult, I have no doubt about that.  I don't quite know what they do at their meetings, but someday the truth will come out.  They also think they can speak to the groundhog Phil.... who knows, maybe they can (like Harry Potter and snakes).  In any case, I imagine that the Inner Circle has some muscle in the way of thugs, so my advice is to not test them.

Some other things that are bothering me -
1.) People who think all snow is ice.  We got a dusting, not an ice storm, you can go faster than 1 mph.
2.) Diane Keaton - STOP MAKING MOVIES ABOUT FALLING IN LOVE AT AGE 60. "Somethings Gotta Give" was good enough.
3.) The Robert Goulet commercial during the Super Bowl was the best ever.

That's all I can remember.  I've posted some new photos, you can find them to the right.

Halloween parties and walking tours have come and gone and it is time for costume reviews.

First let's start with Jim Vikartosky and his weird "Slash if you were on LSD" costume.  The only reason this costume had a name is because I gave it one.  On the surface this costume may have been sub par.  When the camera lens found Jim, this costume shined.  I think it had to do with his crazy eyes.  I'll give this costume an overall of B-.

Next up is Paula Cenkner's Friday Costume.  Okay I don't know what this was; I think it was a 1950's nerd.  If you ask me, I think it's time for androgyny, It's just Pat. I mean come on; this is a direct rip off of a Saturday Night Live character.

If you ask me, anyone who does an SNL character for a costume is just not original.  Paula does get bonus points for actually having some pens in the front pocket. Final Grade is a C-.

Jared stole the show with his "Mexican Jesus" costume.  I have to say I was quite impressed with the wig/beard combo.  The sunglasses were the perfect touch along with the bullet sash.  This costume gets the A.  I should also mention the costume was perfect for the walking tour, except Jared did not get picked up by immigration officials, so that kept him from getting the A+.

Next up is Alicia's Jamaican something.  I can't really give this one high marks. I mean the wig was good, but the rest of the costume was lacking.  Alicia probably would have gotten bonus points if she had dressed up like Garcher and used the words "Mon" and "Bro" all night because that would have been great. In fact had she done that, I would have given her an A.  I'm going to have to give this one a solid D for now, unless she gets angry and writes a strong letter or something.

We continue with Kelly's Steeler outfit.  This would have gotten an A if it was last year or even the year before that.  However, the Steelers suck, and so that is going to bring this costume down.  Had Kelly made it a "Bitter Steeler Fan" costume and included some things like fake tears because Roethlisberger has a concussion or maybe even a cell phone with the Mark Madden talk show on speed dial so that she can call and complain about the play calling on the talk show, that might have been good.  In any case I am dropping a C grade on this costume.

House's "German Soldier" costume is a clear A+.  The props, the helmet, the German phrases that House screamed were all top notch.  The model 24 Stielhandgranate "stick grenade" that House had on his belt was awesome.  I think House scared most everyone in any bar that we walked into during the walking tour.  His costume did prevent us from entering the American Legion, but we were not going that far anyway.  A+.

Okay let's finish up with KL.  My Matt Foley costume was awesome.  Anyone who does an SNL character for a costume is filled with creativity.  What made this costume awesome was that I actually did the entire skit at the Cenkner party.  You just can not beat that.

My Robert Goulet was also nailed down perfect, everything from the sunglasses to the turtle neck.  You would not want some dubious ruffian without the chops to dress up like Goulet for Halloween, that's why I've become a professionally trained voice man.  Both costumes get an A-.



I might have a few more reviews later on.
