Any Word on the Pickens Plan
I saw this commercial on television yesterday. I had never heard of T. Boone Pickens before, but after a wikipedia search, I was familiar with some of his work in oil. Something about this advertisement seemed to make a lot of sense (by being no-nonsense), but I am curious whether there is some dark secrets [...]

Teetotaller Was Totally Right
07.13.08 | Permalink | 5 CommentsI was under the assumption that Teetotalism was being a complete lush, but in a conversation with Doug the other day he used it in a story (not about me, thank you, Alice) describing someone who did not drink a drop.

Either way, I made a startling discovery today: I have deep respect for those that can run laps (and rabbit trails) around the others.

Thinking, This I believe, beer
On the brink.
Back to the Future and possibly The Secret of my Success are two of my favorite movies. I say that with pride and sort of as an eff you to my elitist friends that urge Godfather, Citizen Kane and the like. Don’t get me wrong, I have studied those movies, written papers about them, [...]

Both Sides of My Mouth…
01.30.08 | Permalink | 2 CommentsSeriously. I don’t need this crap. My dog died, my wife left puts up with me, my beer won’t get me drunk anymore, and while by day I am trying to market our fair region with all the top ten lists, this story came out today. Seriously, you freaking hackers are giving my region a [...]

Get out of iLine, now
Word from the inside says that if you go to a Cingular or apple store today and they do not have an iPhone that they will mail you one. May not help with the iWood tonight but will keep your iAss out of the iSun.

Grand Central is finally here, for me
Just before Google snatches them up, Grand Central is offering service in my area. If you haven’t heard of it, the application is very helpful to distribute only one “anonymous” number to reach you at all your digits.
