Headline we will soon see...

DEMOCRATS BLAME BUSH ADMINISTRATION FOR FALL OF ROMAN EMPIRE, KENNEDY ASSASSINATION, STONEHENGE, AND BATTLEFIELD EARTH

Say what?

Each of the following 2 phrases/reactions have been offered to me TWICE in the last week:

• "Are you taller?"
• "Really?" (in response to me giving them my weight, as in "you don't look it"...in a good way)

I is forgetting

I found an Econ paper I wrote in undergrad and I have no idea what it means:

Whenever the demand curves are linear the output changes in both markets are equal but in opposite directions, so the actual output doesn't change (Viscusi 288). The loss is attributed to the reallocation from those who put a high value on the product to those who put a low value on the product.

When examining case law, there are two categories of violation, primary and secondary line discrimination. The first is when a firm prices to lessen competition by harming its rivals. Secondary line is accomplished by injuring competition in the buyers' market. The two cases to be examined are Utah Pie, (386 U.S. 685) for the primary line and Morton Salt, (334 U.S. 37) for secondary line.

Maybe it's because it's late and my brain is already in stand-by mode, but I wish I could re-write this paper with my newly acquired legal brain.

I shouldn't have to tell you

but it's not wise to accept the word of a politician (especially one running for office) as fact.

Words Cannot Describe...

...how excited I get for football. I seriously can't wait any longer, my head might explode. This is the WORST time of year because training camps have started (but no real games), fantasy football is being coordinated (but I can only look at the rankings so many times), there's no NBA, and baseball has lost a lot of excitement (aside from Barry's HR tonight). We are SO close, SO SO close...

here are some videos to help you understand why I am excited:



Just LISTENING to this gives me chills:






And just for good measure:



This is why fall is the best season of all. But if I had to list the ONE thing that sends chills down my spine every time, it would be the Monday Night Football song by Hank Williams, Jr. When he starts saying, "c'mon get ready...I MEAN get ready..." I start thinking, "I'M READY, I'M READY!!" "ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL!?" Ahhhhhhhhhh, and my day is complete.

Step 1:

In order to prepare for my impending hot wing challenge, I went to Winger's tonight and had a dozen wings with their "Too-Hot-to-Handle" sauce. The sauce itself was pretty weak...DELICIOUS, but weak, so I had to supplement it with some DAVE'S INSANITY SAUCE. This sauce rates a 51,000 on the scoville scale. That sounds like a lot until you realize that the sauce I will be experiencing rates between 200,000-350,000 (depending on the season). Additionally, it appears that my biggest hurdle will actually be the time limit. 12 wings in under 6 minutes is harder than it sounds, ESPECIALLY when your brain is telling you, in a not so subtle way, that any minute steam will be coming out of your ears. I need to get my eat time down to 5:30, then I need to up the sauce temperature. GAME ON!

No more whining

For all of those who bitch and moan about the President wanting to spy on citizens and generally be a dictator, let me remind you that the DEMOCRATIC Congress just passed a bill that expanded electronic surveillance. Granted they have only a slight margin, but the bill passed by MUCH more than a slight margin, 60-28 and 227-183. So it's not like a couple Dems decided to cross the aisle, turns out it was more than a couple. Maybe we ought to start paying a little closer attention to Congress than the Pres right now; after all, he can't pass legislation all by himself.

I CAN SEE!!

I had my LASIK today, here's the video. The first one is when the laser creates a whole bunch of tiny bubbles that separates the tissue and essentially creates the flap. Video #2 is the actual lasik procedure, kinda gross, but not bad. It was all totally painless. Now I have to spend the next month dumping gallons of chemicals in my eyes.
(check out the 2:42 mark in the first vid)





Cool, huh?

I like Jazz

So the Jazz just signed Ronnie Price. For those of you who are unfamiliar with Ronnie Price, the Jazz, or the West Wing, let me clear this up...

THIS is Ronnie Price:

Yes, that is Ronnie posterizing my boy Carlos Boozer. (For the record, the Jazz won that game, went to the playoffs and made it to the conference finals, the same cannot be said for the Kings). This is the guy the Jazz just signed. This is akin to the episode where Sam gets PWNT by Ainsley then they hire her afterwards. If I were in the Jazz locker room, I would be teasing Booz relentlessly. Until, of course, Boozer stood next to me (he's 9 inches taller than me) and subsequently snapped my neck like a pretzel.

I love true office confessions

I found this site on Monday and I love it. When I checked today I saw this one:

These get posted throughout the day but not immediately after they're submitted. So the next one could not have been a response even though it is the NEXT comment:

Priceless...

What will they think of next?

Advertising on the yellow lines between parking spaces...

I saw this at Carl's* and thought it was just at Carl's. I was wrong:

Someone is making a lot of money off of this and they're laughing all the way to the bank.

*I had the pineapple teriyaki burger. VERY good, although I HATE the stupid radio commercials

I loves me some Homer

thanks to Jake at work for this
