My First Bris

Uncategorized 26 June 2008 | 0 Comments

Actually, it’s my second, if you count my own. Uh, oh. I’ve said too much. Yes, I’m circumcised. I don’t believe I had a bris though. I mean I believe the doctor snipped me, I just don’t think there was a deli-bration afterward. In true form, I arrived half-hour early to find that the valet [...]

Georgia Rule Continued

Uncategorized 26 June 2008 | 0 Comments

I just caught this article on The Onion’s avclub.com. Scott Tobias talks about Georgia Rule. I find it odd that I saw this film last night on cable over a year after it came out. (Link here.)

The Cost of Saving Money

Uncategorized 26 June 2008 | 0 Comments

I spend too much money. It’s not as bad as it used to be. Since I went back to school a few years ago, I’ve tried to cut my expenses as much as possible. Nothing drastic like down grading my toilet paper. My butt loves it some Kleenex Cottonelle. I did get rid of my [...]

Subway and Sales Tax

Uncategorized 26 June 2008 | 2 Comments

I had lunch at Subway, today, twice. There was my post-workout 11 ayem lunch, then my 2 p.m. post-lunch lunch. The 5 dollar foot-long sub is one of the last great deals around. I guess when it started most of the subs were 5 bucks. Now they have a list of about 8 different subs [...]

The 300 Billion Dollar Bailout

Uncategorized 25 June 2008 | 0 Comments

The headline on the Drudge Report says that the mortgage bailout has passed the senate. (Article here.) Can somebody please tell me why people who felt that they were making a fail safe investment in real estate get bailed out? What about renters? Where’s our bailout? What if I can’t pay my rent and get [...]

300 Million

Uncategorized 23 June 2008 | 0 Comments

John McCain put a 300 million dollar bounty on the head of automotive battery technology. According to the AP, “McCain said such a device should deliver power at 30 percent of current costs and have ‘the size, capacity, cost and power to leapfrog the commercially available plug-in hybrids or electric cars.’” (Link here.) As shown [...]

Benjamins

Bar 23 June 2008 | 0 Comments

I don’t know what it was, but on Saturday night I received more hundred dollar bills than I ever have in a shift. Usually the dominant denomination is the twenty, of course, but it seemed like ATMs were spitting out hundreds by the way they were coming my way. It turned out to be a [...]

The Best Things in Life Are Free

Uncategorized 20 June 2008 | 0 Comments

I’m not sure who coined that phrase, but I presume they were speaking of love or non-prostitutional sex. I doubt they were talking about bluetooth headsets. I read online how LG would be giving out 1000 free bluetooth headsets at the Peterson Automotive Museum at 11:30 Thursday, as part of the ban on driving while [...]

The Other Side of the Bar Addendum

Bar 18 June 2008 | 0 Comments

I found out last night that the adventures of Sir Locked Drunkworthy continued after I had left. After seeing Sex and the City again, whose beginning I liked far more than the first time, Dad and I went to Copley’s to butch up and watch the Laker game. It was here that we were apprised [...]

The Other Side of the Bar

Bar 16 June 2008 | 1 Comment

I’m in Palm Springs for Father’s Day. Yesterday, Dad and I sat at the bar at Copley’s, a spectacular restaurant, ate dinner, and watched the Lakers win. Except for the occasional couple waiting for a table, we had the bar to ourselves. Around the 3rd quarter, a party of 7 walked in without a reservation. [...]
