Escape From Alcatraz

Why is it that EVERY time this comes on t.v. and I'm flipping channels ... the remote stops here and I must watch from whatever spot till the end. Is there some sort of subliminal programming going on. I don't recall having any inclination to drink pepsi or coke or eat popcorn or anything - so frankly I'm confused by this seemingly natural phenomenon. I feel like the fricken manchurian candidate and somebody just opened up a deck of cards and started played solitaire.

Dodger Blues ...

Probably the funniest site ever ...

http://www.dodgerblues.com/content/news.html

Hunt around here ... lots of nuggets to choose from.

Not for the sarcastic faint of heart.

Adventures at Albertsons ...

To the lady who just HAD to stop what she was doing and continue her boring ass story to her co-worker who obviously didn't care much more than a rat's ass than I did - can't you just talk AND cut my fricken Jeannie-O sliced turkey please. 1/2 pound ... did I stutter.

I must though apologize to the woman I laughed out loud at who walked behind me as I was squeezing the tuna packed in water (you know to find the fresh one) and yelled - "WHERE DOES THE COOL WHIP GO" to somebody in the next aisle. Sorry ... just thought it was funny.

Why do the makers of Salsa think that "Thick and Chunky" is any sort of selling point to me. I may go against the grain on this one ... but come on ... shouldn't there be a "Not to Thick and Not to Chunky" versions for the rest of us. And if you think there is and they call it hot sauce ... fuck you!

How in the heck am I supposed to eat a 10 pound bag of brown potatoes before they start growing those spore plants on that one episode of star trek where spock falls in love.

Culligan or Brita ... yeah, me too!

Crap ... come to think of it ... I'm sure I had 17 items.

Mountain Biking Cheseboro

Took my faithful Cannondale Jekyl mountain bike out for spin class yesterday. Thanks are in order for mother nature who cranked up the fire road temperatures to around a sizzling 93 degrees to close out April. F.U. Apart from that ... sweaty fun stuff.

The loop was this ... cheseboro canyon trail, modelo trail, palo comado connector trail, palo comando canyon trail, china flats trail, palo comado canyon trail, sheep corral trail, cheseboro ridge trail, canyon view trail, and cheseboro canyon trail.

Which I realize that if you've never ridden there sounds like ... blah blah blah trail blah blah ... ok it sounds like that even if you have have ridden there.

So the translation trail ride is this ... climb climb climb level banana level down over climb climb climb down climb down climb down climb down level.

Which works out to be around 16 miles in 2.5 hours and 3 gallons of sweat.

I was looking for the roadrunner that I snuck up last week but I believe it was ordering stuff up from the acme catalog. Plenty of hawks circling the heavens though ... so that made the climbing um just as much of a bitch as I thought it would be.

The joys.

turning on or tuning into YTMND's

Stumbled across this site awhile ago ... and prepare to wet yourself. Nuff said.

Basicly - what we have here is the creativity of the internet and the convergence of mass media icons and humor in the next dimension.

Here are links to some of my favorites ... just click and laugh (or learn).

You can also use this super secret hidden link http://wiki.ytmnd.com/YTMND_Soundtrack to explore much of it yourself. Perhaps try a random page or comb thru the archives.

No animals were hurt in the process of writing this or viewing nearly all of the "bits".

On the recent Giants sweep of the Dodgers ...

I always have the last laugh. 10+ years ago, sadly, I lived up in the Bay Area and went to one of the last games at that freakishly cold hellhole windstorm place named Candlestick. I forked out whatever the going rate was for overpriced watered down beer in order to get the um "commerative" plastic drinking cup signifying the transition to the dump "by the bay". What do I use this "collectors item" memorial beverage container for ... that's right. I scoop cat litter with it from a box into a rectangular container in order for my cat to shit over and over in it. Oh the joys. Vindication ... nuff said. Here kitty kitty kitty ...

golf is to flog as blog is to ...

I have no idea what that means ... I just figured I would type something. Consider it a test of the E urgency broadcast system.
