Good Grief What Will I Do Next!

CATAGORIES: GENERAL NONSENSE — cj @ 12:58 pm

There is nothing I have ever done in my life that was more embarrassing than what I did Saturday. We spent the day outdoors playing in the creek at Saline Valley Conservation Area. It is only minutes from our house and the water is so clear you can see the bottom. We’ve been doing this most of the summer and I actually have a fairly decent tan this year. I swim in my cut offs and sports bra usually. No need for a swimsuit because sitting on the gravel/sand bars can rip a good swimsuit, and the dirt that sticks to wet clothes. When we got hungry or ran out of drinks, I’d just throw my shirt on over my sports bra and run into the store for whatever we needed.

After playing all day, we went home and got cleaned up to go out to dinner. Our place of choice this time was Outback Steakhouse at the Lake of the Ozarks. The meal was fabulous. The steaks were plump, juicy and seasoned just right. I only had one beer while there. After we were done eating, we headed out to the car and before I unlocked the door I pulled off my shirt because the air conditioning decided to quit working and it was hot. Mike asked me what I was doing. I looked down and could not believe I was looking at my actual bra, NOT MY SPORTSBRA!! Oh my gosh!! I was so embarrassed. I told Mike to run around the car to my side and try to block my body while I unlocked the stupid car door, then I opened the back passenger door and ducked between the two doors so I could conceal myself. I got my shirt on and told Mike to get in the car. I don’t think he even got his door shut before I hauled my dumb ass off that parking lot! I must be getting Alzheimer’s!

Week in Review

CATAGORIES: WEEK IN REVIEW — FloridaBill @ 8:00 am

File under Week 33 of 2009.

Michael Jackson Statue

I wonder what newly minted Supreme Court Judge Sonia Sotomayor would have thought of Mr. Jackson since he was not a Latino Female?

Nominees for Fucktard of the Week:
Kelly McKenith shot her boyfriend ,then her infant son and then herself. It may have been difficult to do it in any other order I guess.
Ludusky Sue Hotchkiss starved her disabled 10 year old to death. Nice. May she suffer the same fate.
What about these four women who glued this dude’s junk? Who is the real Fucktard here? I think it is somewhat obvious.
This Greek Woman didn’t use glue, she just set a man’s genitals on fire.
Cash in Freezer Congressman William Jefferson got convicted for bribery this week. I guess that cash, wrapped in aluminum foil, on video, was just too much good evidence.
George Sodini, the Bridgeview, PA gym shooter is a clear Fucktard. He was one (secretly) deranged man.

Headlines that made me click this week:
Clinton Meets Kim Jong Il in North Korea. He did what? With whom? He only reaped the benefits of this deal (as did the two journalists who were freed), he did NOT engineer it. I thought it was interesting that the North Koreans rejected Al Gore as an emmissary. I heard the vote was close though. Even after a recount.
Drink Whiskey to ward off Swine Flu. I am not at all sure if this works, but I am willing to try.
Mom fined for greiving too long at funeral. What? That was perhaps the most distressing story of the week. I soon realized that is what socialized medicine is really all about.
Cash for Clunkers falls flat. Next week we might have Cash for Cluckers (if you buy chickens) or Cash for Cushions (for silicone implants) or Cash for Yuckers (if you go to a comedy club).

Here is a pic of my brother on his trike (a Rupp) last week at Talledega. Pretty cool me thinks:

We know a guy who lives in Area 102 (who has not showed up on the blog in a while) who might like Jesse “The Body” Ventura’s new TV show.

We are about a month away from college football. Roll Tide.

Enjoy your freedoms and happy healthy weekends to all.

MISCELLANEOUS PICS FROM CALIFORNIA PART 2

CATAGORIES: FAMILY,OLD FRIENDS,PHOTOGRAPHY,TRAVEL/ROADTRIPS/PLACES TO VISIT,YARBZ LIFE PICTURE DIARY — Yarbz @ 12:24 pm

This is a shot of Shaun… Shaun is a flipper of birds. This is at a little hole in the wall Mexican joint that was absolutely fantastic.

The images below are from the Goat Hill Tavern in Costa Mesa. I have been gong there for years and always make a trip or three there when in town. It’s the most fantastic beer bar in the world as far as I am concerned because it has atmosphere in addition to the beer. There is a place across the street that has a lot of beer too but it’s boring and sterile. This time my camera peaked the interest of the bartender and he took me into the keg room. The pictures that follow are all different directions and not duplicate kegs with the exception of the one with the bartender. This is “Chilly Heaven”…

Here is a pic of Los Angeles with some hiking folks from Kenneth Hahn Park in the Baldwin Hills…

My pizza from Oggi’s near my parents place. It was double roasted garlic, goat cheese, pine nuts, artichoke hearts and kalamata olives. One of the best pizza’s I have had…

My dad shooting Los Angeles from Kenneth Hahn Park.
