under the I... I'm not paying attention

I happened to be in an adult care facility the other day for business and as I was waiting for someone I noticed a BINGO game going on in the next room. What got my attention was the BINGO caller near the end of the game asking "Are there no Bingos yet?" He only had 2 balls left to draw and with a couple dozen seniors playing you would think that there would be a Bingo by now. He pulls the 2nd last ball with anticipation, but still no Bingo. Finally the last ball is drawn and a chorus of 4 or 5 excited ladies yell BINGO!

Unfortunately I had to carry on with my business or I might have sat in on the next round. I think I might have had a chance of taking home some Bingo winnings.

I have noticed a trend in some bloggers lately - there is a trend to post the words of inspirational heartfelt songs. So here's my attempt to be cool like everyone else with a Brad Paisley song.

I work down at the pizza pit
And I drive and old Hundai
I still live with my mom and dad
I 5'3 and overweight

I'm a Sci-fi fantatic
Mild athsmatic
Never been to 2nd base
But there's a whole nother me
That you need to see
Go check out MySpace

Cause online I'm down in Hollywood
I'm 6'5 and I look damn good
I drive a Mazarati
I'm a black belt in Karate
And I love a good glass of wine

It turns girls on that I'm mysterious
I tell 'em I don't want nothing serious
Cause even on a slow day I can have a three way
Chat with two women at one time

I'm so much cooler online
So much cooler online

I get home, I kiss my mom
And she fixes me a snack
I head down to my basement bedroom
And fire up the mac

In real life, the only time I
Ever even been to LA
Was when I got the chance with the marching band
To play tuba in the Rose Parade.

Online I live in Malibu
I posed for Calvin Kline, I've been in GQ
I'm single and I'm rich
And I got a set of six pack abs that'll blow your mind

It turns girls on that I'm mysterious
I tell 'em I don't want nothing serious
Cause even on a slow day I can have a three way
Chat with two women at one time

I'm so much cooler online
Yeah I'm cooler online

When you got my kinda stacks, it's hard to get a date
Let alone a real girlfriend
But I grow another foot
And I lose a bunch of weight everytime I log in

Online I'm out in Hollywood
I'm 6'5 and I look damn good
Even on a slow day, I can have a three way
Chat with two women at one time

I'm so much cooler online
Yeah I'm cooler online
I'm so much cooler online
Yeah I'm cooler online

throw away the rubber for your wallet

If you're anything like my dad. And I'm sure your not. You have a wallet that you can use to prop up a car to change your oil. Well, Just One Card Club has come along. You can put the barcodes of 8 cards onto one card. You just print it out and you need 7 less cards in your wallet.

Thanks to Dumb Little Man for the tip.

extra fibre?!?

BEIJING - Chopped cardboard, softened with an industrial chemical and made tasty with pork flavoring, is a main ingredient in batches of steamed buns sold in one Beijing neighborhood, state television said.

Kudos to the BarfBlog

not again!

The only time ten turnovers are OK are when you are at A&W. Even then by the time you are eating number ten, your stomach is pretty queezy. Basically the Stamps have had 100 points scored against them in the last two games. Yeah they're playing on the road and yeah they had a short week (the only team to have 3 short weeks this season I might add), but still that does not give you the right to play like a high school team (and a bad one at that). They even made the Argos look good and they had 5 turnovers.

What does it take to lose a game by less than 30 points? We have not even played BC yet. I hope the scoreboard will go that high when they meet later this summer. Maybe they will have to tape a 1 on the scoreboard (like all the gas stations did when the prices hit a buck). At least next week we can stink at home; maybe we injured enough Argos to make the score respectable.

'nuff said

preview

Here is what we are going to see a lot of on Sunday.

Men in Green running for their lives.

forecasted 39

The forecast for the Hat on friday is 39 degrees. I am thankful for A/C!!!! For those who are Celsius challenged that works out to be 102.2 degrees F. I thought those kinds of temperatures are reserved for those "travellers' forecasts" at the vacation destinations. I guess this makes us a vacation destination - just look at the beaches around here :~) So all you Westcoasters out there, cross the rockies and try out our A/C.

hat sky fire

Some scenes from the fireworks last night in the Hat.

normal, yet not

So today as we are driving past the mall Bonnie says "hey look, Translink Buses" Low and behold 3 brand new grey Translink buses were sitting in the parking lot of the Medicine Hat mall. Bonnie didn't even think they looked out of places at first. They are really cool looking; the front doors are not symmetrical and the back doors are huge. I was thinking of hopping on to see if it was a 3 zone fair to get to the lower mainland. As we were reminiscing about the good old days, the 3 bus convoy headed out onto the #1 and started heading west. We figure that they must be driving from the New Flyer plant in Winnipeg. I think it is very cool that I have seen the new buses before anyone in Vancouver has seen them.
