Self inflicted pain

My glasses broke. Stepped on and crushed, I had to throw them away. It's been about 5 years since my last eye exam, so this at least forced me to do that. I was completely unaware of what a new pair would cost, but I didn't figure it would be that bad. Then my 3 year old daughter decided to break my wifes glasses in half. Excellent. I'm no rocket scientist, but I now realize that this is going to become quite expensive. I, because of hockey, decide that it would be better for me to get contacts, plus they are way cheaper. I spent a total of 30 minutes yesterday poking myself directly in the eyeball trying to put these damn things on. I can't think of too many things where I willingly put myself into direct pain. all I know is until I get used to them, there will be a lot of cursing coming from the bathroom

Dumbest Advertisement Idea

So I'm driving down the road the other day, enjoying the beginning of fall beauty, and I look up and see a small plane overhead. I notice that it has a sign behind it. This is cool I think to myself, there simply isn't enough creative advertisement out there, and I'm assuming its a special message to someone, and what a beautiful day for. I get closer to where the plane is flying overhead and I realize that this is the smallest damn sign I've ever seen. I, for the life of me, can't figure out what the hell is on there, the print is so small. Why the hell would you do that? I am thoroughly confused, and at the last second I see that the ad is for a local lasex surgery center. Are you kidding me??? Don't people that need lasex have a problem with their eyesight?? HELLO!!! good idea for the advertising, but you think maybe if your in need of lasex surgery you are gonna read that small little sign? My immediate thought is that if this guy can't figure out how bad of an idea it was to fly this little ass sign, do I really want him putting a laser into my eyeball?

Quote of the Week

Joe: With the exception of Eddie and myself, whom you already know, we're going to be using aliases on this job. Under no circumstances do I want any one of you to relate to each other by your Christian names, and I don't want any talk about yourself personally. That includes where you been, your wife's name, where you might've done time, or maybe a bank you robbed in St. Petersburg. All I want you guys to talk about, if you have to, is what you're going to do. That should do it. Here are your names - Mr. Brown, Mr. White, Mr. Blonde, Mr. Blue, Mr. Orange, and Mr. Pink.
Mr. Pink: Why am I Mr. Pink?
Joe: 'Cause you're a faggot, alright?

Mr. Pink: How about if I'm Mr. Purple? That sounds good to me, I'll be Mr. Purple.
Joe: You're not Mr. Purple. Some guy on some other job is Mr. Purple. You're Mr. Pink!
Mr. White: Who cares what your name is?
Mr. Pink: Yeah that's easy for you to say, you're Mr. White, you have a cool sounding name. Alright look if it's no big deal to be Mr. Pink, do you wanna trade?

Beer of the Week

This is one of the last postings on Summer Beers for this year. Paper City Brewery is local out of Holyoke Ma. They have quite a few solid brews for year round enjoyment, and this is one of the best seasonal's. As many local beer enthusiasts note, Paper city prides itself on its consistency and ability to create flavorful but very drinkable beers. As much as I hate to see the summer beers go by the wayside, the benefit is the entrance of some good fall beers, my all time favorites, OKTOBERFEST!!!

Watch your ass

This is a message to all of you cyclists. You are not a fucking CAR!!!

Don't get me wrong, I am all for the preservation of the earth, and I know that riding a bike is healthy for you, and I enjoy riding myself, but use your god damn head when your on the road. I know and understand that we have to share the road as there is no where else for you to ride, but I am not about to get charged with vehicular homicide so you can lolly gag back and forth on the road enjoying the damn birds. In my car I am bigger than you and I have absolutely no frickin idea what your doing out there so don't start weaving or riding in the middle of the road. This also applies to the scooter riders as well.

Kick Ass Ska

I just heard these guys a couple of weeks ago and all I can say is wow. This is some good upbeat quality ska music, with some Latin influences. The best way to describe them is fun. When I hear there stuff, all I can think of is downtown New Orleans, which is funny being that they are Australian. if you have two minutes, take a listen, you tube them for some other music like Hello, or the chariot song. They are also a good live band with some good live performances.

Holy Fuckin Buchholz

Born August 14, 1984, Clay Buchholz is now only the 4 player to ever record a no hitter in one of his first two appearances. Buchholz threw 117 pitches tonight against the Baltimore Orioles in a 10 -0 shutout for the Bo Sox. I'm not a huge baseball fan, but I sure as hell respect athletic talent, and this kid is oozing it. His first start was pretty impressive two weeks ago, where he recorded a win and had a 2.19 era, but this is unreal. I've never played baseball before and for the most part, consider half the players a bunch of whiny little bitches, but a have a huge respect for pitchers and hard diving players that work hard every day. All in all, I have to say congrats to this kid and the Bo Sox better sign him to a long, lucrative contract very soon.

Quote of the Week

Vincent: Want some bacon?
Jules: No man, I don't eat pork.
Vincent: Are you Jewish?
Jules: Nah, I ain't Jewish, I just don't dig on swine, that's all.
Vincent: Why not?
Jules: Pigs are filthy animals. I don't eat filthy animals.
Vincent: Bacon tastes gooood. Pork chops taste gooood.
Jules: Hey, sewer rat may taste like pumpkin pie, but I'd never know 'cause I wouldn't eat the filthy motherfucker. Pigs sleep and root in shit. That's a filthy animal. I ain't eat nothin' that ain't got enough sense enough to disregard its own faeces.
Vincent: How about a dog? Dogs eats its own feces.
Jules: I don't eat dog either.
Vincent: Yeah, but do you consider a dog to be a filthy animal?
Jules: I wouldn't go so far as to call a dog filthy but they're definitely dirty. But, a dog's got personality. Personality goes a long way.
Vincent: Ah, so by that rationale, if a pig had a better personality, he would cease to be a filthy animal. Is that true?
Jules: Well we'd have to be talkin' about one charmin' motherfuckin' pig. I mean he'd have to be ten times more charmin' than that Arnold on Green Acres, you know what I'm sayin'?

Beer of the Week

Not the best tasting beer, but it has a purpose. Get me Hammered right fucking now. It's one of Molson's not so great products, but if you drink it cold, it certainly does the trick. It's not bad tasting by and means, but it does have a strong finish and aftertaste. All in all, somewhere on a 6 out of 10 scale for beer enjoyment, but the best alternative to drinking vodka straight out of the bottle.

Semi retraction of the pansy ass whiners

I can't fully lift the pansy ass whiners post, but I will retract a portion of it. It seems as if those running the league have no decided to have playoffs and for at least the near future, keep slapshots. The downside to these new decisions is that it has come under new management and this new management has appropriated a liquor license for the arena and will be opening a bar. To some this sounds like heaven, to most of us it is disaster. This new bar will eliminate the parking lot drinking, which will greatly increase the cost to drink beer every week. Frankly, this is unacceptable, and rash decisions may be made in the name of economical beer drinking.

That is all for now

Beer of the Week

This week is a special tribute to not one beer, but a brewery. The Opa Opa steakhouse and brewery provides not just a great meal, but a great brew. The top brew for me is the Red Rock Ale that gives great color to a very tasty beer. Not too hoppy, and a great finish to this smooth beer makes it my fav; and any beer can bee good if bought in the 1/2 gallon growler bottle. Who said quantity isn't good??

guest=clean house

I would never say that my house in "dirty", but it can be very untidy at times. This, of course, is the direct product of two children under the age of 3, and a 13 year old that is of the understanding that we as parents are here strictly to do her bidding. This is why I enjoy having company over. There is always a mad panic to make sure that the house is clean and kept, even if its just for a friend to come over and have some beers. It starts with making sure the kitchen is clean, and quickly evolves into full scrub of the floor, the bathroom nearly gets remodeled, sofas are moved etc. And, this all takes place in a matter of 1.5 hours. Sometimes I feel this is the only way my house would ever be maintained.

[after meeting the Hansons]
Reggie Dunlop: You cheap sonofabitch. Those guys are retards.
McGrath: I got a good deal on those boys. Scout said they showed a lot of promise.
Reggie Dunlop: They brought their fuckin' TOYS with 'em.
McGrath: Id rather have em playin with their toys than playin with themselves
Reggie Dunlop: They're too dumb to play with themselves. Boy, every piece of garbage that comes into the league you gotta buy it
McGrath: Reg, Reg, that reminds me. I was coachin' in Omaha in 1948 and Eddie Shore sends me this guy who was a terrible masturbator. He would get deliberate penalties so he could get over in the penalty box all by himself and damned if he wouldn't...

Beer of the week

There isn't much to say here. It's just simply the best.

Pansy ass whiners

I just need to vent a little about the fact that my summer hockey league playoffs have been canceled. We are three games away from the end of the season and they just announced that the playoffs are not to be. There seems to be a few pansy ass jokers that have complained about the level competitiveness in our league. We had to combine two leagues for the summer because of the lack of players available and apparently its too rough now. IT'S FUCKIN HOCKEY!!!! It's supposed to be rough. I don't get it, why would you play the game if your worried about a few bruises???? Nobody's out there hacking at your face, we all have to go to work the next day, and if your afraid of a possible fight, then go play whiffle ball somewhere.

Proud to be Canadian

I've gone through as many ads as I could and I still think this one says it best.

The Dude: Walter, what is the point? Look, we all know who is at fault here, what the fuck are you talking about?
Walter Sobchak: Huh? No, what the fuck are you... I'm not... We're talking about unchecked aggression here, dude.
Donny: What the fuck is he talking about?
The Dude: My rug.
Walter Sobchak: Forget it, Donny, you're out of your element!
The Dude: Walter, the chinaman who peed on my rug, I can't go give him a bill, so what the fuck are you talking about?
Walter Sobchak: What the fuck are you talking about? The chinaman is not the issue here, Dude. I'm talking about drawing a line in the sand, Dude. Across this line, you DO NOT... Also, Dude, chinaman is not the preferred nomenclature. Asian-American, please.
The Dude: Walter, this isn't a guy who built the fucking railroads here. This is a guy...
Walter Sobchak: What the fuck are you talking about?
The Dude: Walter, he peed on my rug!
Donny: He peed on the Dude's rug.
Walter Sobchak: Donny you're out of your element! Dude, the Chinaman is not the issue here!

Beer Of The Week

Somewhat local but very excellent. One of the better summer beers I've had on tap, but it is excellent any time of year. It also comes in a in a 22oz. bottle for when you are good and thirsty. It's golden in color with a light body and an excellent finish.

Slater:"All right, check you later!"
Don:"Slater, man, why you always such a dork, man?"
Slater:"What are you talking about?"
Don:"'Check you later! Check you later!'"
Slater:"Hey, man, get off my case, man!"
Don:"Chicks don't wanna here that shit!"
Slater:"Chicks don't wanna here anything, man. The girls in our classes, they're all prudes, man. It's the girls ahead of us, man. They were wild! Our class, they're worthless, man!"
Don:"Well maybe you've just never got past the sniffing butts stage, that's what that sounds like to me!"
Slater:"Hey, man, it's quality not quantity, and, and, and just wait 'til I get to college."
Don:"Yeah, when I get to college all I'm gonna do is bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang!"

Just heard a few songs by these guys and they're actually pretty good. Most of you must have heard their top song "Hey there Delilah" which is great, but they have quite a few more decent tunes. On top of having some good music, they have a kick ass band name.

A gun rack... a gun rack. Shyeah, Right! I don't even own a gun, let alone many guns that would necessitate an entire rack. What am I gonna do... with a gun rack?

My Heroes

Some may say it's foolish, some may say they're juvenile, but to me, they are great. I spent most of my early childhood entertained by the SCTV crew, and none were better than Bob and Doug Mackenzie. I think if we all just took a step back, relaxed, and had a couple of jelly donuts, things wouldn't seem so bad. Have a great eh, hoser.

My Vote For President

Not only is he one of the best dressed people on tv, if we all shared Don's views I firmly believe the world would be a better place. Maybe.

Beer of The Week

This is the beer of the week. I may be a little biased towards this brand as it was one of a few available to me growing up, but a great beer none the less. It has a crisp taste and is great any time of the day, year round. Molson Canadian, I salute you.
