Additonal Pet Peeves

Howdy Folks:
I was going to post earlier, however, I was waiting for inspiration to hit me.. and low and behold just 5 minutes ago.. SMACK.. right in the face.

Ok.. lets go over a few ground rules

Cell Phone Usage:
1. Ok when your walking around
2. Ok when your sitting around at home
3. Ok when you watching a ball game with your Aunt Ida
4. Ok if you have a brain and can drive reasonably when using one
5. NOT OK WHEN YOU'RE TAKING A DUMP

I mean seriously folks... what possesses you to go into the bathroom for a good download and then say.. well, while Im free I might as well call some one up.. Or... what possesses you when your taking "the browns to the superbowl" to answer an incoming phone call. Lets Imagine a Converstaion:

Bill: Uh hello? (echo, echo, echo)
Bob: Hey Bill, sorry to bother you but I had a question on the Peter's account.
Bill: Hey no prob Bob. Go ahead (splash.. splash.. grunt...)
Bob: You ok Bill? You're not sounding so good..
Bill: Nah, Just pinching a loaf off thats all..

Automatically - phone should be hung up.. in fact .. you should probably burn your phone for fear of disease or something. And Bob should be taken off the Peter's account.. In fact.. Bill should be fired or at least beaten severly about the head and neck region.

Things akin to talking on the phone while taking a dump.

1. Eating a taco on your best friends mom's casket during the viewing.
2. Honking and flashing your lights because a funeral procession got in your way.
3. Asking the School Band member who is selling Magazine subscriptions door to door if he has Playboy.

I truly believe that cell phones are causing radiation problems in users whenever I go into the bathroom and hear someone on the phone. You have my permission to start yelling obsenities at the top of your lungs the next time you hear someone on the phone while taking a crap. Oh well.. until inspriation smacks me again.. see yall around!

How my day was rescued

Ok.. Let me set the table.
I have a boring job. Often it consists of me pouring over plans or working on ACAD all day without talking to anyone. Let me repeat, I have a boring job. Im thankful for it, but it really really boring. So I came in this morning and turned on the radio. Thankfully I can get AM stations. Usually, I listen to the Sports guys in the morning. But today it was all about Raffy Palmerio and his roids. I had about enough of that crap and turned it off and listened to a cd for most of the morning.. UNTIL a ray of light shone down from above. .My buddy comes in and tells me that Randy and Jason Sklar were guest hosting for Jim Rome today..

Let me tell you how frickin funny this is. Randy and Jason usually host a show on ESPN classic called Cheap Seats. Sort of like a MST3000 for sports. They take old and usually little known sports events (ie. Arm wrestling from 1983) and just make fun of it. It is so funny my wife even laughs. .and unless its the Astros, my wife usually never watches sports.

So, what did we learn.
1. My job boring
2. Watch Cheap Seats
3. Randy and Jason Sklar are hilarious (check em out http://www.cheapseats.tv/ )
4. My wife likes the Astros - especially Craig Biggio
5. I can at least count to five

Have a great day all!
