Thursday Random Thoughts 1/24

Stuff I have been thinking about:

- I found out on Sunday that one of our friends from church as found our blog and reads it so she told my wife. (Hi Doris !!) That's great I love it...however the funny part was when she asked my wife, now your husband is Doc right? For some reason that question struck me as funny and I just died laughing.

-A friend of mine is flying from Georgia to Los Angeles this week to see a concert or should I say concerts. Nothing really out of the ordinary about that you say? Check this out. He is flying out to LA to see Garth Brooks in concert at the Staples center FIVE TIMES... Yes apparently Garth is doing benefit shows for the victims of the wildfires and my buddy is going to all 5 shows in one weekend. That is dedication ladies and gentleman.

-I usually eat a few gummy bears after lunch each day for desert. My two favorite flavors are red and clear.

-I heard on the radio the other day that there is apparently a nasty rivalry in the Northeast between Starbucks and Dunkin Donuts coffee. Like there is serious bad blood between the fans of each coffee. Maybe I should make a poll about it... I am kidding however I wonder if the Dunkin donut fans realize that their coffee is actually manufactured by S&D coffee right here in Concord NC?

-Am I the only one who actually tried to look up "Bagwine, Ohio" on a map ?

-When Vince suggested that we put up Travelin' Band as the theme music for our blog (an old reference to a conversation the two of had probably 10 years ago) I loved the idea. While searching youtube for the right video I actually paused for a minute and thought about trying to convince him that Tarzan boy by Baltimora would be a better choice. But I thought better of it.

-Pop Tarts taste sooooo good when you toast them until they are almost burnt.

-First John McCain's campaign almost went bankrupt this past summer. Then Rudy Guliani's staffers and advisers started to work for free when funds started running short. Now I read this week that Mike Huckabee's campaign advisers are doing the same thing and not accepting paychecks. Hmmmm I thought that the Republicans were the rich peoples party? Sounds like they can hardly afford to run. Take that a step further and it seems like they aren't even able to manage their own campaign finances very well, why should we trust them to manage our tax money?

-Why do crooks do really dumb stuff like trying to steal an alligator named Mr. Cranky Pants ?

-I went back and forth several times this week on which TV to buy but I think I have settled on the Samsung 42" Plasma HD instead of the LG.

-I had a Hardee's loaded omelet biscuit the other day and it was awesome. Hardee's (Carl's Jr. out west) stuff is underrated.

-Media reports say that Eminem has gained a lot of weight by sitting around the house and playing video games and drinking all day. His mother even says that he has really ballooned up. My thought is that Slim Fast needs to contact him about doing a weight loss campaign. That way he can start to call himself Slim-Fast Shady. I can hear it now, "Two Slim-Fast girls go round the outside, round the outside!"
