This just in...

...Jeff Probst has a cold, in the warmest place on earth. Jerk. Good survivor tonight. Finally the show is predictable, having the weak tribe keep getting weaker. Somehow makes me happy, although I thought Ibrahem was kinda cool... Maybe the long lonely nights will produce a Survivor baby in the Ulong cave... I've been waiting 10 seasons for a survivor baby. Biggest twist ever, next week, the Ulong tribe will lose again. blah blah blah

LOST is back!

Dangit... it's been long enough, so LOST is back with new episodes. Good ol' sweeps, controlling my TV show viewing schedule... Another strange episode, showcasing a bit more about Locke... who thinks up these story lines... They've got me hopelessly hooked again. ho hum.

Fancy Footwork

Finally, the annoying couple, or idiot husband, is gone from the amazing race. That was a nice touch, what with the footrace at the end. Would have been a real bummer to lose because you rolled a truck...

NEWS FLASH!

A new episode of LOST is on tomorrow, the 30th at 8pm regional on CTV... don't miss it... looks like Locke and Boone play in the forest with that metal thing... I can't wait.

Don't you know a foamy latte makes me farty and bloated?

Well, Lent is over, and I made it. So I drank Dr. Pepper first thing this morning to celebrate! Now I've got a rumbly in my tumbly due to all the gas in the pop. If only they had a McDonalds in Cochrane... then i'd feel real sick... which makes me think, maybe I shouldn't start back on these things due to the results... BAH! There's a Cherry Vanilla Dr Pepper waiting for me back in Kitchener, so I'm waiting for that. I hope the easter bunny finds you an hour before the devil knows you're dead.

The MIRACLE of LIFE

So, we're in Cochrane for easter weekend, it's calfing season, so we got to see a calf pulled out tonight. It was having a tough time, so they hooked chains around it's hoofs and used a pulley to yank it out. Afterbirth is quite disgusting, meaning it took the gust right out of me. Whoosh! If we hear of another calf pulling, I'll get pictures, otherwise, conduct yourselves accordingly.

Honk if you're Nerdy

If you're as nerdy as I am, you'll understand this license plate I saw today in Kitchener.

TCPIP MD

I chuckled as Faith looked on in puzzlement.
I'm a nerd

Chet Atkins OD'd on Carbs.

This is Geoff, he's my Snow Oscar. This is my first strong oscar since Chompy, God rest his soul, and I'm quite happy with him. He's called a snow oscar because they bred the stripes out of him, so he's mostly white. He is albino, so he probably can't see well, and probably thinks racist comments about me and my dark skin. He survived an early bout with ICK, which is more than I can say for the Clown Loach. Also in the tank are my sucker fish, named sucker, and my statue of a hobo, named Chet. Anyways, I think I'll give up and go to bed.

My Precious...

I picked up my new stick today, the Synergy SL! It's so beautiful that I couldn't part from it long enough to take a picture. Faith is a very patient woman, sleeping in the same bed as me and my new friend, stick I mean... I'll take the couch if I have to, cause this stick deserves the royal treatment. I've written a Free-form Haiku about it.

Oh, Synergy SL
So Pretty, graceful
A bit too short
need new end plug
sigh

Man vs. Basement IV: Grout Expectations

Well, I just finished a war with the basement again, working on my new computer desk. I made it from scratch, using only flour, eggs, sugar, some MDF board, Ceramic Tile and legs from Ikea. This was my first ever experience with ceramic tiles, and I have to say that they aren't really that scary or tough... just real intimidating and difficult. This was a particularly tough battle, starting in the garage, moving upstairs to the spare room, then down to the basement for the main event, the grout. It turned out ok, considering i had never done this before. All in all, i am quite pleased, with the desk, which weighs in at about 100lbs now.

Close Brush with death

I took the camera, cause this was the earliest we have been out in ages. Faith and I both bought Night Passes at the mighty mountain, and usually got out after 7 pm which is not all that condusive to Digital photography.

Ski season is over at Chicopee this Sunday afternoon... boo urns. We haven't been out much recently, which makes us sad, considering the recent news. We're going out again tonight, and that may be all she wrote.

I heard that once they find 2 toothbrushes in the snow, they are required by law to shut down for the year. I only found one. However, my snowboard has minty fresh breath now.

Is David Hasselhoff Irish?

St Paddy's day has come and gone, just like the food colouring I put in my beer tonight. Matt Came over, and we watched Anchorman: Wake Up Ron Burgundy, the spare dvd made of mostly extra stuff shot during the making of Anchorman. It was a different angle on the Anchorman story, with a lot more of the weird humour. eh... kinda slow, but funny in some parts. I put some green food colouring in my Moosehead, and had Guiness from a bottle, and Faith made some rice crispy squares with Lucky Charms instead of rice crispies... mmm... breakfast tomorrow.

Matt and I finished off the night, when Faith went to bed, with a game of poker in the garage, enjoying some of the cigars that Rudy brought back for me from Cuba... mmm... stinky. I lost, then bought back in, then won most of matt's chips, then lost again. Good times though.

Which brings me to my main point... Is David Hasselhoff Irish? I know Owen Nolan is... speaking of which, I hope he isn't as gimpy and useless as he has been when/if NHL comes back next season...

Anyways, hope you all arived alive, and may you get to heaven and hour before the devil knows you're dead.

Biggest Twist Ever!!!!!!!111

Finally some good twists on Survivor... First off, the 2 tribes going to council to vote, nice touch. Then winning tribe eating in front of losing tribe... good good... Then the vote for the individual immunity.... Wha Happen! Craziness. Good ol' Ibrahem... good thing he made his last ditch plea... it's not fair... boo hoo. bye bye tatooey... go marry Lex, and get a bra that fits.

Going once.

I just recently finished my first Ebay auction as a seller... I've been on the buying end for many an auction in my day, but this was a first. I got close to what I wanted for it, but ended up under-quoting for shipping charges and having to pay a bit extra. Ah well, live and learn... watch out world, i'm gonna be a millionaire soon, so long as i can find a million dollars worth of crap to sell.

Heads Up!

Watch out folks, Survivor is on Wednesday night this week... crazy you say? don't mind if I do... It's been a good season in my opinion, consisting of some nice physical/competitive challenges and a wicked reward (Home Depot shelter), so I am impressed...

I have always enjoyed seeing what they do for shelter, and this past week whence the shelter was built by the survivor challenge crew, I was in happy land... I hope to someday build a big treehouse, just like Koror's shelter... So don't miss it...

Eat your candy bar and put syrup on your bacon

So, we're back from the nether-regions... where "gosh" is pronounced "gAsh" and chocolate bars are called Candy Bars... what the frig. The land where they sell Cherry Vanilla Dr. Pepper, and beer and wine in all gas stations... sounds heavenly, to a certain extent.... then you hear someone say gAsh, and it makes you want to run for the border.... not Taco Bell.

If it weren't the season of lent right now, I would have smuggled a tonne of american Mountain Dew back with us, cause unlike it's canadian version, it's loaded with CAFFEINE! I knew I should have just given up fast food.

I spent a bit in Dunhams Sports store in the mall in Port Urine, perusing their "hockey" section, only to find that it wasn't all that special. They had the basics, a few synergy's and vapor xx's, but nothing too spectacular. One thing I did find was a Mylec replacement blade that fits a standard shaft, not just around a broken wood stick... Things seemed slightly cheaper there, but sticks are still a lot cheaper on ebay.

Speaking of ebay, I returned Sun evening to find an auction for a stick I've wanted for a while and the price was abnormally low near the end of the auction, so I bid and won... no last minute shenanigans. Booyah!

That's about all... The Marshalls (Mike and Mary) were very hospitable, we had a gay old time watching Napoleon, and the farting preacher... They have a sweet elevator in their house... and a pool table. Unfortunately, Mike's grandmother passed away on Saturday morning, so we had to leave a bit earlier than expected, so remember the Marshalls in your prayers. Rough stuff.

Back in the ol' US of A

Hey all, visiting the Marshalls near Cass City, Michigan. We crossed the border no problem, and made our way to the mall, where Faith purchased a shirt quoting Napoleon Dynamite "I like your sleeves, they're real big". It was a good find.

I'm somehow always amazed that Port Huron is so close to Canada, yet their sports store has hardly any hockey stuff, and Target has absolutely no representation of the greatest sport on earth in their sports section... Weird.

It was a nice evening of barbecued chicken, Napoleon Dynamite and Triumph the Insult Comic Dog... oh, and of course the Farting Preacher! See you on the other side?

Annual Chili Cookoff today; Music to Follow

Last week our church had a chili cookoff, which prompted Faith to post about the Farting Preacher on her Blog. The farting preacher is a video clip of a Televangelist, Robert Tilton, whose facial expressions and mannerisms had fart noises dubbed behind them. It's absolutely ridiculous, and so perfect. Check it out.

I did a little bit of investigation to find out who this guy is. His TV ministry is very similar to that of Peter Popoff (Faloo), citing the "prosperity Gospel" telling people that if they send him money, God will prosper them. Just like Popoff, he came under a lot of heat with claims of fraudulent use of the money, and other claims regarding his ministry. Check it out.

Man, there's some loons out there... watch the farting preacher videos, they're good for the heart.

The Post You Were Looking For Cannot Be Found

Anyone else getting this message with Blogger comments? I've wanted to respond to a few posts on peoples blogs who use blogger comments, but it pops up the message

"The Blog You Were Looking For Cannot Be Found"

It's happened on my home computer and at work now, but I've never come across this problem with Haloscan comments... Blogger changed their comment system recently, so I imagine there's a problem with it, but I still found that it was more hassle than Haloscan, which I subscribe to. Anyone else come across this problem?

Stupid Farmers

I was driving at work yesterday, heading towards Waterloo, when I found that the lunch time rush was a bit worse than usual... hmmm, what could be the problem? Well, I drive a bit further, considering bailing off the highway immediately, when I see a distant shape on the horizon with blinking lights, driving very slow. Well, it was a convoy of tractors on the expressway, protesting against the government. Tobacco farmers... ugh. What is the point, other than publicity, to being a nuisance to everyone who's not important? They're doing the same thing in TO today, which should be real goofy.

I'm a real big supporter of farmers, being the little man, but there must be a better way of doing politics... Maybe park in front of the parking lot a queens park so none of the people that can do anything can get out... who knows, all I know is get out of MY way... jerks

Sure, they do need more support from the government, but is inconveniencing the average joe going to do anything? I don't want to live in fear of having a tractor blocking off my driveway some morning because pig prices are in the toilet.

This years Calder trophy goes to...

This Sunday, Jay Calder played at church, he's an awesome guitarist, well worth the listen. He plays sort of a flamenco meets modern style on acoustic guitar. I bought his CD, although I could have gotten one for free (or $34.65/month) if I had signed up for a World Vision kid. The guy had some pretty cool thoughts, as a former pastor, so it was neat to have him at church. Well, that's all.

Change is BAD

Don't let anyone tell you any different. Sure, I got a real sweet deal on my new skates ($449 for $150) but, man they really hurt bad. Gosh. They're pretty much the best skates I've ever worn, and I haven't had a chance to take them off any sweet jumps. Right about now, after 2 games in them, I'm ready to go back to my old skates and risk them completely breaking... I've got blisters, and can't walk straight any more... I'll have to take them back cause they're ruining everyone's life and eating all my steak.

hey

Does this dress make me look fat?

How fat am I, that I broke my skate... really. I need to lose weight. At least I am still invincible. It's just the things around me that are subject to the wrath of my 240 pounds of sheer power! Hear me roar, I am the MAN

The numbers....

they're cursed... man, that was a good episode of LOST. Hurley's a real interesting character. I thought he was gonna snap huge. Looks like there might be a re run next week, which sucks, cause I'm just getting back into it after the break at christmas. At least I have something to look forward to watching in absence of NHL hockey. Idiots! Gosh!

Well, whadya know?!

So, upon further review, Brock was right, and as a wet duck, we should have trusted him. For some odd reason, Hurley was getting into a car on the TV in the scene there Jin first delivers "the message" to the inspector guy. Way to pay attention to details Brock, Gold star for you.

I'm with Matt, especially with the discovery of this new information, that there is a great need for a Hurley back story episode. Maybe this is just foreshadowing. Who knows. All I know is that LOST is the best show on earth! And I want to vacation on that island... cute little polar bears.
