Favorite lines...

Fortunately, I've either said, or had these said to me... and no one was joking!

Do you need glasses? (With the pitcher of beer you are buying) 

Why, was I squinting?

One of these cookies has only 100 calories. 

Really, which one?

I had a bunch of others in my head, but they've disappeared for now, so I'll keep adding to this post later.

Can't get this out of my head

So we saw this band this weekend called Menomena. Now I may not have spelled it right, but the name came after that Sesame Street bit.

Or so everyone tells me. But everyone remembers the bit differently, so I have compiled a few of them here for you.

Before you click, I warn you. Its addicting. The people around you will love it at first, probably sing along like Gareth Keenen did with David Brent in The Office, but eventually, you will all go crazy.

Its a shorter trip for some.

The Premiere on the Ed Sullivan Show from 1969.

From the Muppet Show.

For you Gamers out there... The Halo Version.

Here's one for the True Believers.

If you are so inclined - you can buy a version by the Peeps - you know, the candy you eat at easter.

My friend John is at it again...

At a recent show, 63 of his fans were arrested for doing bad things, here is the last paragraph from his open letter to those fans....

"In looking to the future, I hope that this will serve as a wake-up call to young fans who may be thinking about engaging in illegal activity at one of my concerts. If I happen to be walking backstage and I see any of you young men passed out drunk on a stretcher, make no mistake about it, you will come-to in front of your disappointed parents with a face full of Sharpie and the sneaking suspicion that you've been teabagged by one of Time Magazine's 100 most influential people of 2007."

Tech Review: Universal Swivel Search

Still don't have a TiVo?

Here is yet another reason to get one. Universal Swivel Search.

Here's how it works, you pick something you like, then you find out about it. You can see What it is, when its on, who is in it, the director... But what's really cool is that all those things are related, so say you like Grey's Anatomy (I'm a guy, so obviously I don't, but say you do) You can then click on the "If you like this... " and see a list of similar shows. (You can even download and buy them from Amazon Unbox)

Say you like one of the actors, when you click on them, it shows you other things they've been in, and so on, and so on...

It works with directors and producers too, so its real easy to find those Mark Burnett productions we all know you still watch.

Did you know? Your TiVo also plays music from your iTunes, shows pictures from your computer on your TV. Lets you find movie times and buy tickets (I know so does your computer or cell phone, but I did it this morning without getting out of bed... its nice once a year) And maybe coolest of all- you can schedule it remotely - someone at work tells you about a cool show they saw, you can go to the web, find the show, and tell your tivo to pick it up. Last time I checked you can't do any of that with the cable companies box.

Coming soon to a club near you

Because there is nothing better than some goofy white guys singing girl power pop songs.

Never again will I feel bad for singing "You make me feel like a natural woman" in the shower.

The Dan Band .

They have a video you can rent, or an album you can buy. If you get the chance you should see them live.

PS- No, I know, this isn't new - they we're in Old School, and I saw the special on Bravo a few years ago... But one of their tunes popped up in my iTunes, and I thought, you know what, people should know about them, and... people read my blog, so... now you know.

Wuh?

Came home from work today and the house next door to me was gone. 

By gone I mean a all that was left was a pile of rubbish, a dumpster, and a digger. I guess my neighbor is getting a new house.

My trip to LA was good, but that town is a god forsaken wasteland. MyICE arranged a play date for me with one of her friends, which was really fun, we had a few nice drinks and chatted about how cool myICE is. Not only that, it meant I didn't have to have dinner and drinks with my vendor. As I text'd S during my stay, spending time there helps me to understand why those celebutards are the way they are. 

From a business standpoint- it still is fun sometimes going on press checks, unfortunately I was at the plant 6 (i think, maybe more) times in a day and a half. Good thing my hotel was 5 min away.

My Ice reminded me today that 3-10 would've been nice, but is really more like 4-17, so apparently neither of us will be all-star's this year. However next weekend we're going to PTown. K if you are reading this, I hope you can join us for a beer or something.

Speaking of All Stars, GO AJ! Win State! I hope you aren't one of my loyal readers though, most of my posts are definitely NSFS.

Grease monkey report - bike is running like a dream, but I was so excited for one of my 4-17 days last night that I left the key in it... Now I have to buy a battery charger for it. Sure the bike was only $800, but soon I'll be hitting $800 worth of gear and accessories for it. :)

Oh, and I haven't shaved since last Wednesday, so I think this weekend M and I may play the shaving game... maybe we'll post some pics'.
