Friday Feast: Minimalist version
Appetizer
What does the color dark green make you think of?
Absolutely nothing
Soup
How many cousins do you have?
10 first cousins.
Salad
On a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being highest, how honest are you?
I can not tell a lie, I'm a 1.
Main Course
Name something that is truly free.
Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose. Nothing ain't worth nothing, but it's free.
Dessert
Using the letters in the word SPRING, write a sentence.
Some pranks really irk nice girls.
It was a light meal, so if your still hungry you can find additional feasts here: Logtar, H-Train, Bea, Chimpo, Shane, Nuke

There were door prizes
It sounds a bit repetitive, but everyone seemed to have a great time last night at the big blogger meetup in KCK.
I mean how could you not have great time with cheap drinks (I drank a Flying Monkey three various Boulevard brews and bought two more for friends, and even with the food I ordered and tip factored in I still spent less that $25 on the night), great company and even a little science thrown in.
Yes, science. I met Keith Sader for the first time, and the first thing he did was offer me a free DVD all about stem cells, cloning and the like. I mentioned that it would come in handy as I build my evil clone army to take over the world.
That's why I like going to these things -- because there's always a chance to meet new and interesting people. I met A.Librarian in person for the first time, Nuke, and of course Keri Oke. And I particularly enjoyed conversations with blogging power couple Bea and her sidekick Logtar (who was bustin' my chops all night, the little scamp. I totally owe him a noogie next time I see him).
But perhaps the best conversation I had as I was leaving. I was just walking out the door when one of my favorite commenters was walking in. This guy doesn't have his own blog per se, but he spends a lot of time reading other's blogs and leaving his incredibly varied thoughts and opinions as comments.
It's kind of a meta-blogging experiment that I really admire. Anyway I had a great conversation with this guy. His online handle is "Anonymous" and we talked for maybe 15 minutes.
He mentioned how cool it was that everyone was getting together like this, but that we are all still pretty lame for getting together like this. He also said that he is totally against the war in Iraq and that everyone who doesn't hate it as much as he does is a redneck idiot. But he also said that most Liberals are American-hating communists (and really, who can argue with that).
You can read more about the big event here, here, here, and here.

Casting Call
I just read The D's Awesome® post about the upcoming movie remake of The A-Team.
The D gives a great (as far as I know) suggestion for the cast of the movie:
I'll pick Bloggers to play the lead roles in the film:
Okay, who are you're nominations?
tagged: television, TV, The A-Team, Bruce Willis, Matthew McConaughey, Woody Harrelson, Michael Clark Duncan, Megan Fox, pop culture
The D gives a great (as far as I know) suggestion for the cast of the movie:
These are great picks, and I probably couldn't improve upon them. So I'll take a bit of a different approach in my casting call.
- Col. John "Hannibal" Smith = Bruce Willis
- Lt. Templeton "Faceman" Peck = Matthew McConaughey
- Capt. H.M. "Howling Mad" Murdock = Woody Harrelson
- Bosco B.A.(Bad Attitude) Baracus = Michael Clark Duncan
- Hot chick that needs their help (you know there has to be one) = Megan Fox
I'll pick Bloggers to play the lead roles in the film:
- Col. John "Hannibal" Smith = The D himself (The Man, The Myth, The Legend!) He does have previous military experience, which will come in handy.
- Lt. Templeton “Faceman” Peck = Chimpotle (changes his blog template like most people change underwear. Not me of course, since I don't wear underwear).
- Capt. H.M. “Howling Mad” Murdock = Happy In Bag (that dood is craaazy!)
- Bosco B.A.(Bad Attitude) Baracus = Is there anyone with a worse attitude than Xavier Onassizzle, the Hip(hop) Suburban White Guy? I think not.
- Hot chick that needs their help (you know there has to be one) = Gotta go with Spyder, the nicest, sexiest chick out there (after my Supermodel Wife, of course).
Okay, who are you're nominations?

YouTube Tuesday: The best in terms of pants
Believe it or not I've had an experience very similar to this. Still, there's nothing quite as funny as a public pantsing.

Bracket Update
Well, despite currently being tied for first place with two others in our group, it's clear that my anti-KU bias has essentially scuttled any shot I had at winning the bracket challenge.
That, and my lack of faith in #2 seed Georgetown, who I had going to the final four after beating the 'Hawks in the Round of Eight (I absolutely refuse to use the term "Elite Eight" - ah damn! I just did!).
Anyway, I wasn't too worried with Duke lost, since I figured most people had them going at least to the Round of Eight. I have UCLA beating them and then losing to Memphis.
But that's all academic. With Georgetown and Vanderbilt both eliminated, it looks like KU's toughest test will be either Wisconsin or Davidson. And even a die-hard KU hater like myself has hard time picking against the Cheathawks in that scenario.

Friday Feast
Welcome to the 3AM Diner. Take a seat at the counter. Your waitress will be with you soon.
Appetizer
Given the choice, would you prefer to live in the country or in the city?
City. No contest. I grew up in "the country," and while the scenery and solitude are nice (I love visiting home), the cultural opportunities even in a small city like KC far outweigh the benefits of Small Town USA (in my humble opinion).
Soup
Who is the cutest kid you know?
My daughter, of course.
Salad
Fill in the blank: I couldn’t believe it when I heard ___________.
It's not butter.
Main Course
If you could star in a commercial for one of your favorite products, which one would you want to advertise?
I'm pretty sure I've already answered this question once, so I'll choose a different product. Hmmmm. I guess I'll go with my favorite Scotch, The Glenlivet, because I could probably work a free case out of the deal.
Dessert
What type(s) of vitamins and/or supplements do you take on a regular basis?
Liquid caffeine supplements (about four cups a day).
Here are some of the other customers at the diner: Logtar, H-Train (Happy B-Day!), Bea, Chimpo, Shane, Sit Stay

| You rarely get angry and it takes a lot to make you angry, however you are sensitive about what others think of you. Your concern about rejection and ridicule cause you to feel shy and uncomfortable around others. You are easily embarrassed and often feel ashamed. Your fears that others will criticize or make fun of you are exaggerated and unrealistic, but your awkwardness and discomfort may make these fears a self-fulfilling prophecy. You tend not to talk much and prefer to let others control the activities of groups. You tend not to express your emotions openly and are sometimes not even aware of your own feelings. You do not enjoy confrontation, but you will stand up for yourself or push your point if you feel it is important, however you will help others if they are in need. If people ask for too much of your time you feel that they are imposing on you. You take your time when making decisions and will deliberate on all the possible consequences and alternatives. |
