The Tao of Hanging underpants

February 25, 2008 · 1 Comment

I need to travel more.  Yesterday morning when I woke up in my oversized bed, fireplace going, birds singing outside, I opened the doors that lead to our balcony… and there they were…

 the hanging underpants.  I quickly got the digital camera to record the sight.  I watched the door to see if anyone would come outside to take the dirty undergarments down, alas, when I went to make some coffee they must have snatched them (that seems like a bad choice of a phrase).  I wonder, what kind of signal is that, to hang someone elses stinky crotch covering outside your door….did this person soil the hanging bloomers…nahhh why hang them outside for everyone to see….is it a sign of triumph, I scored with this woman who wears electric pink undies let me display the flag of my conquest…dirty bloomers….I wish my camera had a better zoom, I wanted to see if there were any skid marks in them, yeah I’m THAT strange. 

At 8:30 this morning my workday had already lasted 72 hours…..it was a long, long, day and Mondays just suck anyway, well, so do Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays up until 3:00, and most Saturdays up until 10 or 11…translation..I work too much.

That being said, I saw something that ticked me off in a magazine, it was a Hillary Clinton nut cracker.  Not that I am a big Hillary supporter, but how would it be if I created a Barack Obama lawn jockey…do you think this would sell, I don’t think so…and, ofcourse I would be accused of being a racist but it seems ok to bust on Hillary because shes a women (well, kind of a woman)  I just didn’t think that was very fair.

 How about some music

The Ugly Train

February 23, 2008 · 1 Comment

Look closely at this picture, it’s the basket inside the bathroom at the b&b where we’re staying…..looks inviting enough, soaps, lotions, mouthwash, toothpaste…and earplugs….hmmm now why would a bathroom basket have earplugs..perhaps for the person who doesn’t enjoy hearing the sound of his own bowel evacuations…possibly, but doesn’t EVERYONE enjoy that music?  Anyway, we didn’t think much about it, not until we were fast asleep, alright so maybe we were more like passed out.  Driving for four hours in a snow storm is a little exhausting, oh and the beer too.  Anyway, while snoozing away we were awakened by the huge GONG of the hourly church bells, one gong every half hour and the hour chimed out in DEEP, ROOM SHAKING, MECHANICAL GONGS.  Ah…earplugs…mental note, run like hell when the room supplies ear plugs.

Other then that the place is lovely, although it looks as though the ugly train stopped here.  I told you I wasn’t kind, there is a huge common room where breakfast is served and as we walked downstairs we were assaulted by the sight.  I realize it’s a b&b and your supposed to be relaxed and feel at home, but jesus christ brush your hair, wear clothes that you didn’t sleep in and try to keep your childs running nose out of my scrambled eggs.  Is it too much to ask?

This afternoon is for shopping, walking the beach, eating and drinking.  Can you believe that one person won 270 milling dollars in the Mega Millions lottery drawing, and GUESS where they’re from…not MA, not NY, NJ, CT, CA,VT, IL no, none of those states it’s GEORGIA, although I haven’t seen any photos of the winner, ten bucks says they are missing at least 4 front teeth…

Charismatic Stool Samples

February 22, 2008 · Leave a Comment

Why does the company I work for hire the undead?  The new guy they hired has gun metal grey skin, long pointy fingernails and breath like his mouth is a petrie dish.  He asked me this morning if I wanted to go outside and howl at the full moon, I asked him not to speak to me unless it regarded work, he seemed insulted..I honestly don’t give a shit.  I try to be jovial and friendly, but it’s so against who I am and what I believe in that it’s impossible to fake….well at least for the workday, must be the environment…yeah right…

 I love the fact that history is going to be made in the White House we are either going to have the first black president, the first female president or the first president with dementia…fabulous when does the spaceship leave for the planet Heineken…soon…so very soon…..

 I’m a bit frazzled this evening, getting happy about the long weekend and sitting infront of the fireplace watching the snow storm, life will be grand

 how about some music

Tip #436 for surviving New England Weather

February 21, 2008 · Leave a Comment

Do not go outside in subzero temperatures with wet hair. It causes the hair to cryogenicly freeze into a helmet that does not loose it’s shape even after thawing out.

Back to working out like an animal. Long weekend ahead on the cape….time for oysters, kale soup and Bass ale…

Enjoy the Fat Man drinking a bowl of gravy

Dog Snobbery

February 16, 2008 · Leave a Comment

I admit it, I’m a snob….but not in the usual manner that one is accused of.  I know what I like and I consider everything else to be an error in someones judgement….such as I am a sports snob 

running is a sport…sailing is not

rugby is a sport….bowling is not

soccer is a sport….twirling colored ribbons at the olympics is not

get my drift?  So why am I telling you this?  Because I must come clean about one of my biggest snobberies (besides beer…mmmm delicious beer) I am a dog snob..anything weighing under 60 pounds is not a dog but some type of rodent that escaped an exterminator….Sure there are cute little furry things that want to be dogs, and owners love them like dogs but honestly…they are not.  

 The gym today was wonderful, heavy cardio, heavy triceps.  I had to work this morning, the owner and I are at odds lately, he’s an ass and (even worse) a drama queen that throws himself on the floor kicking and screaming when he even imagines somethings gone wrong..it’s all a great big trainwreck my employment life, but those and other stories will be added later.

Life is an Adventure filled with excitement

February 11, 2008 · Leave a Comment

and all kinds of fabulous deli meats.  To begin with, I feel I need to confess straight away that I like bologna, not the Oscar Meyer mess, but that fine German bologna…for that matter I also like olive loaf, which is strange in and of itself.  But enough about the deli counter for the moment.

This is my second blog, my first served it’s purpose (nothing sinister mind you) but it was time to start something fresh and with a name like Bologna Ball rolling around my noggin, I knew I had something I could work with.
