Yo Mama!
Remember “Yo Mama” jokes? I was looking for a ridiculous e-mail greeting to send Tora on her birthday last week. I found these. The guys at work thought they were funny and suggested that I post them. My favorite part is the joke teller’s outro where he gets one last jab in, “…that’s yo mama.”...January 31, 2005 7:16 PM | 7 Comments
The Worst Movie of All Time
It was around 3:00 am Saturday morning. I had fallen asleep on the couch in front of the TV. As I woke up, Connie was flipping through the channels. She was going through the HBOs when she stopped on James Franco (the guy who played Peter Parker’s friend, Harry Osborn, in the Spider-Man movies) dressed as a police officer...January 27, 2005
Spider-man, The Hulk, Daredevil and...Ringo Starr?
I thought this story was funny. I especially liked this line: Starr’s alter ego is described as an “evil-battling, Earth-saving — though reluctant — superhero with a great sense of rhythm.” Speaking of superheros, how about that Fantastic Four trailer? It looks like they casted it right, except Jessica Alba. I pictured Sue Storm much differently. The special effects...January 24, 2005
Winter Wonderland Update
You’ll love this. Thursday when I got home from work I called Dylan a.k.a. “my lawn boy”. No one answered so I left a message saying that I saw the forecast and knew that we were expecting a tremendous amount of snow this weekend. I instructed Dylan to knock on the door after he was done shoveling in order to...January 20, 2005
Overnight
I stopped by Dan’s place tonight to drop off a tin of delicious carmel corn for him and Jen. They love carmel corn and just can’t get enough of it. If you ever want to buy them a present for any occasion or just want to get on their good side, buy them some. It’s their favorite. After my visit...January 17, 2005
January in Chicago
Connie and I met up with her friends Natalie and Damien in Chicago over the weekend. We originally intended on seeing Handsome Boy Modeling School, but the show was postponed. Instead we saw a performance at Chicago’s sketch comedy festival by a funny two man troupe called Superpunk. Afterwards, we went to a club called The Funky Buddha Lounge. It’s...January 14, 2005
Best Milwaukee Area Fish Frys
I was conversing with my good friend and business associate Dan Birschbach this afternoon. Dan is an aficionado of Milwaukee fish frys. I asked him what some of his favorites were. He sent me this e-mail with his picks: Well, it’s Friday…again. It’s my favorite day of the week. Not just because I don’t have to work tomorrow, either. Friday...January 12, 2005
Dan's Birthday
Dan’s birthday extravaganza was a lot of fun. We went to Medieval Times for their dinner show. I was impressed. My favorite part was when the knights came into the arena before the competition. You’re encouraged to cheer for your knight and boo the opposing knights. I really got into it. One of the knights must’ve heard my comments over...January 12, 2005 7:09 PM | 3 Comments
City of Heroes Update
Hello friends and all others that take interest in my Life of Leisure. Sorry for pulling “a Jim” by not posting for awhile but i’ve been really busy, busy playing City of Heroes that is! I’ve found it very difficult to advance my character to level 12. So, i’ve decided to devote all of my free time to this cause....January 5, 2005
Holiday Game
I’m not really sure what this woman is singing about, but it was cracking the guys at work up. Here’s a link to a festive little game. Enjoy....January 4, 2005
Baseball Hall of Fame
Kudos to the Baseball Writers’ Association of America. It was annouced today that they voted Ryne Sandburg, one of my childhood heros, into the Hall of Fame on his third attempt. Sandburg, who joins first ballot inductee Wade Boggs in the Hall, was one of the great second basemen of his generation....January 3, 2005
Happy New Year
My New Year’s Eve was a blast. Connie and I had friends and family over to celebrate. Dan and Jen, thank you for that great cheese and sausage gift pack. You really shouldn’t have. Speaking of great holiday gifts, here are some more of my favorite presents from this past holiday: City of Heroes game for my PC - The...Mothly Archives
