Oh, you are good Smallville, you are good.
12 minutes in and I love this
episode
So I have enjoyed a renewed apprciation
for Smallville in the last few weeks. They didn't kill Chloe, They had stuff
actually happen. Lex is actually being evil. (I thought the "growing towards
evil" they promised would grow quicker not just come on ala Anakin Skywalker,
"What have I done?, oh now i am going to kill babies" And now I turn on the
episode following the sudden but then necessarily predictable death of Jonathan
Kent. (You have to have him die so Clark can learn that he can't save everybody.
It's a staple of pre-1985 Superman -oh I have entered into SUPERGEEK territory
Haven't I- Oh who am I kidding I was already there.
Here's why I love it:
1. They acknowledge a character's death (Alicia anyone?!).
2. When the Vigilante shows up, they play the Danny Elfman music from the original Batman movie.
3. Clark is angry.
4. The vigilante has dark hair and glasses and disguises herself as an employee at the Daily Plaent where she is bumbling and running into people ala Clark Kent later in life, maybe he is inspired, stay tuned. They could have given her blue eyes to top it off, but then Lois doesn't have purple eyes so whatever.
"Do you think that you could do what she did? play the mild mannered reporter by day, crime fighter by night?"
I like this show again.

Really? Really?
I had to write
All right people, I am in the process of
switching Blogging programs and site design and I have some great blogs in the
pipeline but I had to get this one out
now
I was doing my usual Tuesday search for new music on the iTunes music store, when I cam across this gem.
“Come Get it – The Very Best of Aaron Carter”
Have you lost your fucking mind world? The very best of Aaron Carter. Really? Really? This should consist of a piece of paper that says Hillary Duff and Lindsay Lohan Fought over me. This shouldn’t be so much sold as forced upon prisoners in secret terrorist prisons. The fact that it’s being put up to purchase is insane. I keep checking to see if the ACLU, Unicef or Amnesty International is planning to intervene on behalf of Human Kind.
I also like it’s the “Very” best of Aaron Carter. Like there’s his best but then there is this magnificent piece of work that is so exclusive that greats like his cover of Bobby Brown’s “Every Little Step” Just couldn’t be included. It’s like The Beatle’s 1 album if you like to listen to really shitty little brothers of Backstreet boys rapping.
I am not usually one to criticize music because I like me some shitty music. But there is a line of self-dignity and that line is Aaron Carter.

mmmm.....Bacon
A claim is put to the test
So many times in college and after I made
the claim, "bacon [also cheese] makes everything better." burgers, salads, baked
potatoes, etc. People would make claims of food that wouldn't be good with bacon
and I was like, "No, that would be good" No one actually made me try these
claims. Until yesterday. I was in Portland, OR for my birthday [old + 1] and we
were bar hopping. We were on our way from Henry's [which closes at 11:00pm] and
Kell's Irish pub. During this trip we passed the famous, or soon to be, voodoo
doughnuts. This is a famous doughnut house that is open only at night makes
unusual doughnuts. There I saw it, a Bacon Maple Bar. At first I dismissed the
doughnut as just a novelty item and I went looking for a tasty option, but then
i remembered my claim and I felt i needed put it to the test. I [loudly] claimed
that I would try this doughnut and prove my claim to be true. So i bought it. It
took a couple bites to get to the bacon but once I did..... DELICIOUS! yes. it
was very very tasty. I encourage others to try this doughnut and let the world
know that, YES! bacon makes everything taste better.

The victory lap
I take the spoils of my
victory.
so yesterday I talked about how I had won
that standoff and Oliver, sorry Holla-ver, had purchased ink for the printer.
it's a glorious Epson C84. So I wanted him to know that I was the winner so i
decided that the best way to do that was to use the printer with it's new ink
cartridge. I started slowly, making a useless excel spreadsheet and printing it
out. Then i started typing up and printing things that I could just write on a
pad of paper. I have a very elegant shopping list using multiple fonts
signifying each type of item, i.e. futura for dry foods, myraid for produce and
wingdings for frozen foods [that's going to make shopping hard]. Yeah this took
longer then just writing it out, but i bought the ball points pens, alright that
is a lie, they are stolen from various restaurants, hotels and dry cleaners. To
step it up a notch I decided that I needed one dramatic gesture of a print. so I
printed this:

I AM VICTORIOUS
The great printer standoff of 2005 has
ended
I am pleased to announce that I have
emerged victorious in the Epson C84 Printer Standoff. For those not up to date,
my roommate and I have been trying to outlast each other in who has to purchase
the new black ink cartridge for the printer. Oliver, sorry, Holla-ver thinks I
should because it's my printer. I think that he should because he wastes the ink
(of course he will deny this but you can go read his blog if you want to hear
that bull-shit). And so that standoff began. It has been 6 months of that little
red light blinking to let me know that there is no black ink. But I got him.
because of my "Accidental" quitting of Firefox, the only way for him to get the
filled out form for some car thing (I didn't research this article very well)
was to buy ink. The file was stuck in the printer queue. That is all just
semantics. the important thing is..... I WON!

The Dueling TiVos
The pinnacle of home
entertainment.
Alright So i have accomplished the
unaccomplishable. No, not using the word "unaccomplishable" I have the ability
to record not one but TWO that's right 2 shows at one time. it amazing. I can
come home from work late on a Tuesday and have both Boston Legal and nip/tuck at
my disposal. it's amazing, world changing, or at least neat. so how did I do
this?
I bought a second TiVo. That's right TWO TiVos. So now my roommate has a TiVo at his disposal and I have one to control mine. He can record shows about European Cars and I can record shows about 25 year olds in High School. He can record sports commentary shows and I can record Civil War history shows. He can record the free porn on channel 77 at 1:00am Thursdays and I can record the free porn on channel 77 at 1:00am Thursdays. It's a perfect situation.
Side Note:
I got the second TiVo from my friend and it was filled with episode after episode of "A Wedding Story" from TLC. He tried to say it was "his girlfriends" but I don't buy it.
The TiVos: If you are wondering, that IS the first 2 seasons of Saved by the Bell on DVD.

The Coach is Here
Halloween 2005!
So previously, I have documented my
journey toward growing a mustache. I was going to do the same but after the
failed attempt that last time, I didn't want to once again disappoint. So I kept
it hush hush. But I decided a while back, that I needed to have a mustache for
my halloween costume. So I got my coach back, (thank you Mr. Hoppe) and I went
for it. I am glad to say that this time it was a success. I was a High School
Football Coach. I had it on lock down. I had the whistle, the socks, the polo
shirt, and of course the Shorts. If you are wondering, Why not Bothell Blue?
These are the colors of Wakefield High School in Wakefield, Michigan. Oh the Hat
says, "Wakefields Always
Win"

I'm not cool. Anymore.
I have a realization most people
probably figured out 10 years ago.
So on my way home today I realized that I
am a nerd. I mean I wasn't always this way. I used to be cool I swear. I played
football. I was captain. I went to the homecoming dance with a cheerleader. I
drank underage. I WAS IN A FRATERNITY! I was totally Zack Morris or at least
Slater, without the mullet. but in the last few years, I have become totally
Screech. I went from Steve to Stu. Other's may have noticed it gradually but it
snuck right up on me. I still thought I was cool until I got off the phone with
my roommate yesterday.
What happened to me? I used to be into chicks and beer and making fun of people that weren't as cool as me. Now I'm not as cool as me. Instead of being excited to go out after work and get "tore" with guys and "scam" some hoes. I was pumped to get home so that my roommate and I can get to advancing in X-Men Legends II on the GameCube. The conversation went like so:
Oliver: "Dude, when you getting home? The Savage Lands need to be dominated!"
Me: "I'm on my way. I should be home by 5. I am going to need some bacon cheeseburgers for our dominating"
O: "I will stop and get some. We need to get in the zone"
Now, this should be followed with me getting a wedgy and and Ogre calling me a NERD! but it didn't.
I seem to care about Playing video games and making sure the TiVo records Smallville then I do about getting drunk and pulling ass. I spend my time on the internet checking on new gadgets and electronics not looking at porn like I should be. What's wrong with me?!

I don't have crabs.
[Adult content]
So yeah it's true. I don't have crabs. If
you know me then that shouldn't come as a big shock. I am not the slut. But for
a moment I was frightened.
I had gone to the doctor to get my nose checked out and he gave me some drugs to get rid of a sinus infection. So I got my drugs and I started taking them and everything seemed to be fine until at the end of the first night, I woke up with my crotch a blazing it was hot and superitchy. Now anyone with any medical knowledge at all knows that this is a common reaction to Penicillin allergy, but I don't have any medical knowledge. so I thought I had crabs or any other STD. I immediately thought of how I could have caught such a thing? Actually I was thinking of a way that I could get this taken care of without my roommate or friends finding out about it. I decided to go back to sleep and hope it went away. When I got up a few hours later, I noticed that the redness and the itchiness had spread to the rest of my body. I take another pill and go to work. Like I said I have no medical knowledge.
When I get to work I mentioned what has happened, minus the part about crabs. They immediately come to the realization that I need to stop taking the Penicillin, get an Antihistamine and call my doctor. Well I do what they say and get some Clariton and call my doctor and I stop taking the drugs. In an ironic turn of events, the Clariton cost me 3 dollars more then the Penicillin that caused this shit anyway. But at least i don't have crabs.

JLA up in arms over Flash outburst
Members of the Justice League respond
to Barry Allen's criticism of President Bush and the
administration.
"As a nation, we are pretty well stretched," said
Barry Allen, a political independent from Reed City, Mich. "I approve of some of
the things the president has done, and disapprove of others. Overall, I
disapprove."
http://www.cnn.com/2005/US/09/10/bush.poll.ap/index.html
This quote posted on CNN.com has caused a rift in the famed Justice League of America as members break their usual silence on political issues and began to speak out for Political causes.
Many remember the Justice Society had teamed up to fight Nazi Germany during the 1940s but openly criticizing a current administration is a new arena for the members that are usually united in their Pro-American stance.
Aquaman quickly defended Mr. Allen, "I am glad that that Barry said something. President Bush has been pissing on the environment for years and my water bound friends have felt the impact. He has put his war mongering ahead of real issues like the freedom to marry. Not that I'm gay, I just think that they have the right."
"Of course Aquaman would say that," Hal Jordan, Leader of the Green Lantern Corps and test pilot said, "He's been wanting to take the League political for years. He wanted us to take action during the Gore / Bush thing in Florida. I am really surprised Barry would criticize the President though. We have been staunch Republicans since Nixon. We rocked up Miami at the '68 convention. Barry must have nailed 400 interns, you know they don't call him the Flash for nothing, it doesn't take him long."
It's not only super-heroes taking a stand. Known member of the Legion of Doom and certified crazy person The Joker sent a press release, written mostly in crayon and smelling of urine, to comment on the situation, "Have you ever danced with devil in the pale moon light?" Though it didn't have really anything to do with President Bush or anything else, It was quite interesting.
Though the Joker is the arch-villian of Batman, the dark knight could not be reached for comment. It wasn't all silence out of Gotham City though, Multi-National Corporation, and major donor to the Republican Party, Wayne Enterprises released a statement in support of President Bush and expressing it's support for the victims of Hurricane Katrina and the troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. It should be noted that Wayne Enterprises posted record profits last quarter based on their massive weapons division increased sales. They are also the leading contractor for rebuilding devastated parts of Louisiana and Mississippi. They have succeeded lately after LuthorCorp has fallen on hard times due to CEO Lex Luther bankrupting the company in an attempt break off half of California into the Ocean. Luckily Superman was able to spin the earth backwards which against all scientific knowledge, turned back time not cause catastrophic disaster.
Superman, the head of the Justice League and known the world over as the greatest super-hero, released a comment to Daily Planet reporter Lois Lane, "I believe in Truth, Justice and the American Way. Free Speech is part of that so I support Barry's right to his opinion"
The future of the Justice League seems be secure as the members will the weather political storm.

The Staff Favorites
Why Oliver and I should have our own
shelf at Blockbuster.
So we were getting some new movies at
Blockbuster, we have the freedom pass so we always have 2 movies with us, and we
noticed the "Staff Favorites" section where each member of the staff gets their
own shelf to display movies they like and think you should rent. We are checking
them out, mainly because Serena has Bubba-Ho Tep on her shelf. We thought two
things, 1. Wes, the guy currently behind the counter now creeps us out with his
selection. 2. Oliver and I should have our own shelf. I think that people would
appreciate our selections We have seen many bad comedies, unwatchable action
films (The Heist -with Luke Perry and Ice-T not Heist with Gene Hackman and
Danny DeVito), and a plethora of Teen Comedies (we rented DEBS last night and
had to turn it off despite lots of hot lesbian action). I think this makes us
very qualified to make a shelf of six movies. So without further ado, here is
our list with a brief
explanation:
Tombstone [1993]:
This selection was chosen by Oliver as his favorite movie of all time. In fact, he felt that we should just have six copies of it on our shelf. Also it's the original DVD that is on our shelf not the 2 Disc special edition. Oliver doesn't want to admit that version exists.
Superman: The Movie [1978]:
Though growing up Superman II was my favorite movie, the extra features on this DVD explaining how the movie was made, demonstrate it's superiority. Though because they were supposed to be two parts of one film we can count them both under this selection.
The Tao of Steve [2000]:
Be Steve, not Stu. Also, I am a fat fatist.
Next Friday [2000]:
It's not the best movie that's for sure but it's the most quotable. "Them ain't twenties"

Return of the Blog
After a long absence, the blog returns
with a new entry and old entries we couldn't show you earlier.
So I know that it has been missed, and now
the blog has finally returned. I was prevented to post many entries because,
like i figured was going to happen eventually, the blog has become too large.
Some of the entries that were going to be published, had information that some
of my readers would not enjoy. If you want details, ask me. But It's back,
rejoice!

Another Adventure at the Bar
Chicken and Beer
First things first, there is no chicken in
this story. So it seems like the same that happened last night as it did before.
I don't know how it happens though, first to the Kirkland Pub. I don't know if
it is that I haven't been there in a while, but I didn't know anyone there.
Also, I got carded. that hadn't happened in a while. So it was off to Tiki Joes!
Again, Erin used Oliver's card and he again was Holla-ver. Mercado plaid
Ice/Crack basketball. Throwing ice out the window trying to get it into some
chicks crack. It's for 12 year olds. Some Married woman was hitting on me.
Amanda oh sorry that's right Aman-DUH! decided to "accidently" spill beer on
Erin's boyfriend because he was making out with some other chick. Oh don't worry
she still made out with him later on. I got free beer.

Alright it was very brief but for almost
10 minutes I had a mustache. it was glorious, it was beautiful, it was
