Ello Gov-nut

I was walking through the store the other day and ther was this little kid wandering around one of the pallets in the middle of the aisle, right near the registers. I was in line and he was just going round and round, like he was preparing for some kind of mini Nascar race with the little boy two aisles over. But as he was making the rounds he started saying, not yelling really, but loudly... " 'Ello Guv-Nut' " like a twisted butler on any BBC show ever. but not 'govna' - 'gov-nut'. with a real ephasis on the T sound in nut.

The first pass was funny - the second was cute, but by the 8th circuit you could see the vein in his fathers neck just pulsing with frustration. He was trying to keep the kid quite. He was embarrassed but the kid had no clue. He had obvioulsy seen some movie or show that he liked (as kids often do) and was just repeating the line he liked over and over.

I have not laughed that hard in a while. To this day I don't know if it was more at the little boy in his naive repetion of a favorite phrase, or the father who by the time they left looked like he could use a stiff drink. Either way it was a great moment for me.

To that all I can say to all of you is... "Ello Gov-Nut!"

Why Not

Sometimes I think this is just for me. Oh wait, it is. You know what's awesome is that right now I can write anything at all and no one will know.

ANYTHING

See i just did it. Don't look at me like that - I know it's not that funny. Why do you care you're not reading this anyway.

Christmas is Coming - Christmas is coming !!!

That's all really. I just become very kid like during Christmas. I hope everone has  a great Christmas, Haunakah or whatever holiday you celebrate!!!

New Season - New Hope

Well The new baseball season is around the corner. The games begin with the Red Sox and Yankees tomorrow and continue for the next few days. I have just picked up tickets to Tuesday Nights game. My wife is a big Yankees fan (I know - I know) and I, of course am a Red Sox fan. The fun will begin on Tuesday night when the Yankees get their butts kicked and I begin sleeping on the couch. :) Okay maybe, but it will be sure to be a great game either way. GO SOX!!!

New Year New Direction

Well it's 2010. How crazy is that? I remember being in high school reading George Orwells 1984 and thinking that's just next year, and how off he was. Then later there were the movies 2001: a space odyssey and 2010: odyssey 2. At least I think that was the full title. So now I think. Holy Crap I'm getting old. And also once again that things are not what they predicted. I guess in some 'non person hating HAL 9000 Develoments' that's a good thing. But it also means that there are many things I haven't done yet.

I'm hoping that this year will bring some great opportunities. Things started out great with a huge response to our New Years Show, and we're already going strong for our Jan 22nd show. I'm happy to say things feel like they're falling into place. Here's hoping that my 2010 reality is better than the out come of the Movie.

Enjoy and be happy. Life ends too quicky and sometimes without warning.

Random Thoughts

So here are just some things that strike my brain as funny. I hope they do you too. We'll see.

 - I love when you're at a football game and they're showing the crowd on the jumbotron. They always get that guy how is looking to the side to see if he's on there, and then suddenly he is. His head starts swiveling back and forth like a bobble head trying to both see himself up there and looking at the camera at the same time. * Warning the later in the game this happens the more likely he is to recreate the exorcist.

- We drove past people tailgaiting and cooking burgers in the parking lot of McDonalds. No shit. Doesn't that sort of defeat the purpose. Why not just go in and eat inside. The best part is no one thought it was wrong at the time. Any other time and those guys would be arrested for trespassing.

- We had a guy behind us (we were on the 3rd level, easily 400 yards from the field) yelling at the players on the other team. Don't get me wrong he was good at the insults. "You guys suck. Sanchez you're a MF'in D'Bag. Dirty Sanchez (my favorite btw)". The best part was his buddy who after 3 full min of the other guy screaming at the top of his lungs would try and half yell "yeah, you suck". He was like that little dog in the cartoons. "yeah Spike. Let's go Spike." --- Bonehead.
