Coaster attempt one.

I have sealed my first try at building a great coaster.  I still have a lot of work to do.  I have to spend most of the weekend now drinking various beverages out of various containers in various location.  Then I will compile a report on the data and look for flaws in the design.  It is going to be a busy weekend, but I guess Rome was not built in a day either. 

I like Howie Mandel.

If you are not watching his new play tricks on people story right now you need to see the doctor because you must have your brains in your butt.  If he blows up a rubber glove with air from his nose I am going to loot and burn the 7-11.  If he does the Bobby’s World voice I am just going to get a Slurpee.

Pink’s video for that song she sings is weird.  I think she is drinking and driving on a tractor and a motorcycle in there.

I wish she would have a superbaby with Howie Mandel and it would move in three or four houses down from me and drink and drive and play tricks on all the other neighbors and the cat.

screw you Tom Nook

Your houses are too expensive and you do not wear a shirt to work.

The greatest coaster in the world.

Recently I started to put my drinks on coasters.  It has become somewhat of a hobby.  This hobby did come with a downside.  I got a little disappointed at the lack of imagination in the coaster world.  I decided to start work on my own greatest coaster in the world.  Then I decided that was not such a good idea because there are not currently any really good coasters.  All I would have to do is make a pretty good coaster and it would be the best.  That was too easy.  I changed my mind and I now want to work on the greatest coaster imaginable.  I started on the first version today.  I went with a somewhat unusual shape for a coaster because I wanted to be sure that it would do some damage if I needed to throw it at a jerk.  I like the design so far but there needs to be some refinement.  After cutting the wood and doing some light sanding I glued and clamped the two pieces together.  I envision my final design either having way more than two pieces, maybe like twenty something pieces or being carved out of one single piece of wood.  I am not sure yet.  Boy was it hard to wait for the glue to dry.  Finally I took the clamps off and though about finishing.  I almost went with some brush on polyurethane, but I thought about it a little more and decided on teak oil instead.  It will take a little longer before I can use it, but It is worth it.  I love teak oil.  If I had hair that was a little longer I would probably try styling it with teak oil. 

Grumble Grumble

On a brighter note, I would like to thank Axl Rose for the free Dr. Pepper.  The stupid jerks at Dr. Pepper thought they would be cute and say they would buy everyone one of their crappy sodas if GnR finally released their album.  Ha Ha, they had to.

If we all were allowed to do our jobs this bad the world would be an interesting place.

I must have rewound this and watched it 5 times in a row when it happened.  These people can not count to 10.  I blame the producers.  If you are too dumb to count to 10 then you are probably too dumb to practice.  The producers should have called like a week early and said practice 1 to ten  for a few days.  Then halfway through the week called back and said “now I am going to conference all the hosts so you can practice counting together.”  Then like 2 days before they were going to count on TV, play them last years tape and have them practice with that.  Yes, I blame the producers.

Birds still sit on posts.

I started a business for 2009.  This is how it works.  I will trade Jeff any of these devices for 2 treats each.  I am looking forward to a prosperous year.  If this works out I should make enough to buy a truck full of burros.  Then I can drive from town to town and sell them.  Wait, that was someone else.  Nevermind.

I hate bugs.

I hate bugs almost as much as I like the movie Groundhog Day.  I saw some ants in my drawer where we set our drink when we watch tv.  I wanted them gone so I got some goo you put on cardboard and then it kills them.  Then I put the cardboard with the goo on it in the drawer.  Then we played the waiting game.  This was yesterday.  Today I checked the drawer expecting to see some dead ants on the cardboard.  Then I planned on picking up the cardboard with a pair of needlenose pliers that are also in the drawer.  If you remember back to pliers week then you know what I am talking about.  

To my surprise there were no ants anywhere in the drawer alive or dead.  I am glad they are gone, but I am a little uneasy about what happened to them.  

I hope by striking them down, I have not made them stronger.  Like when Obi Wan Kenobi lets himself be killed by Darth Vader to be a ghost and help Luke in Star Wars.  

Best movies ever that I can think of right now:

1. 1.Club Dread
2. 2.Big Lebowski
3. 3.Star Wars Episode 4, A New Hope
4. 4.Groundhog Day/What About Bob
5. 5.Captain Ron/Three Amigos
6. 6.Anything with Patrick Swayze or Queen Latifah or Kevin Smith
7. 7.I wish Tony Danza was in some movies
8. 8.Die Hard
9. 9.Die Hard 3
10. 10.Die Hard 4

I other news, it seems like the drug store by us had a run on paper towels.

Hi 2009.

Champagne makes me breathe evil death fire.

The DVR is like money in the bank.

With it I have the option of watching The Music Of Seal On Ice now and El Gordo Y La Flaca later OR El Gordo Y La Flaca now and The Music Of Seal On Ice later.  I do not know how people got by before my hero and MVP of 2008, The DVR.  I can even watch Tyra twice in a row if the mood strikes me.
