BANZAI!!!
Hey there friends. Did you guys ever catch the show Banzai! My bro and I used to watch this whenever it came on. It was basically a betting game that was on TV. Who held their breath longest, who kept their eyes open longest, who puffed the most smoke? My personal favorite was the reporter that has a single question interview and then keeps quiet to see how long the person will keep talking to her. These are just some of the games that were showcased in the TV show. Now, we can all enjoy Banzai anytime we want! This is a unique party game that will definitely bring any boring party back to life. The game includes 4 bowls with plastic sushi that you use as betting tokens. There is also a bigger bowl divided in 4 sections where each player places their bet by placing their sushi... WITH CHOPSTICKS!! The Banzai game includes 4 sets of chopsticks so get practicing!
And don't forget to visit Tako's Myspace page. Who is Tako? Tako is the lovable octopus mascot of Banzai. Check out his page for all things Banzai and don't forget to check out Banzai.com and get all the information you need to order your game online. While there, check out the download section get yourself a nifty desktop image like the one above, or better yet a screen saver. Also, check out Tako-gotchi. He plays out like a virtual pet where you can feed and play with with guy. If you're not careful, the dude will chop off one of his tentacles. lol Banzai, check it out friends. It's a great way to have some fun. Later.
ScreenLife Games is at it again. They launched a new Banzai game. Check it out:

Odin v. Oppossum
Hey there. I feel like crap today. Body hurts like hell and my wife thinks that maybe it's the way I sleep. I'm sleeping wrong or something. Lower back aches, arm hurt, and legs don't wanna cooperate. lol Could be just that we were up later than usual this weekend.
On Friday, my wife felt restless. She described it as her mind is falling asleep but her body didn't want to so she couldn't go to sleep. I usually stay up until she goes to sleep, so I was up with her. She wanted to watch something "boring" to put her sleep and instantly suggested ESPN or football. lol Boring to her, not me, I stayed up watching the Super Bowl between the Pats and Giants. lol Anyways, around midnight or so, just when my wife was falling alseep, our dog Odin starts to bark like crazy. Usually, I'll just go up to the window and tell him to quiet down and he does, not this time...
I got up, put on some sandals, walked outside. I snapped at Odin, "What are you barking at?" and he walked over to the tree and growled. I looked and saw the biggest oppossum I have ever seen. The creature was monstrous, staring at me with it's beady eyes and showing it's sharp teeth. I thought at first, Odin must have injured it, since it was just there, under the tree, staring. I figured it would of ran or climbed up the tree or something, but nothing. I said to myself, if I don't get rid of this oppossum, Odin is going to be barking all night long and we needs our sleep. So I grabbed this 2X4 that I have lying around and I poked it, hoping that it would scurry away. No dice, just sat there, teeth and all. Poked it again, nothing. At this point, Oding was barking loud as hell, and my wife got up. She suggested spraying it with water. Good idea. I grabbed the hose and sprayed the hell out of him. That got him moving... but moving slowly. It got away from the tree and was now dragging itself across the lawn, that's right... DRAGGING. I noticed that it's hind legs were not functioning so I figured this thing decided to croak under our tree and Odin wasn't having it. I decided to deal with it in the morning so I grabbed a bucket and was going to trap it inside until the morning. A grabbed this huge rock that I was going to place on top of the bucket to assure that Odin will not knock it down and release the oppossum. Well... by the time I got to it, the oppossum was dead. Just lying there, not moving. Damn. Odin must've killed it when I went to grab the bucket. No point in "hiding" it under the bucket now, so I grabbed the 2X4 and pushed it into the bucket and carried it to the trash can. I poked it again with another stick, just to make sure it was dead and nothing. So I chucked it in the trash.
Fast forward, next morning. Shortly after breakfast, I went to check on the oppossum. Don't ask me why. lol I guess I just wanted to make sure that it was still in the trash and not dragging itself somewhere, terrorizing my family. So I opened the can and what do I see? The beady eyes and sharp teeth staring at me. The thing was still alive. I just experience first hand a oppossum playing possum. lol I left it there. Not much I could do for the little guy and there was no way in hell I was gonna grab it out of the trash. I showed it my kids. First thing my oldest daughter said, "Awwwww, it looks cute". lol My boy (I'm assuming) wrote "RIP" on the top of the can, since it's covered with dust and I doubt that my oldest daughter would do something like that.
The trash gets picked up today. I don't think it's still breathing. I guess I can rest assured that Odin will be keeping unwanted visitors out of our yard. I've caught him chasing squirrels and birds, so I don't know if it's just him being over active or over protective. Either way, good boy Odin. Later.

Mickey Mouse, The Tyrant?
Hey there friends. Looks like Mickey is not sharing the monies earned with the rest of the Disney characters. From MSNBC.com, "Cinderella, Snow White, Tinkerbell and other fictional fixtures of modern-day childhood were handcuffed, frisked and loaded into police vans Thursday at the culmination of a labor protest that brought a touch of reality to the Happiest Place on Earth."
Read all about it here.
Can you imagine the look on the kids faces when Snow White and rest of the princess gang are being hauled off in a cruiser. Damn... lol Later.

Husbands and Wives For Sale!!!
Hey there. This is an Email that I received from my wife today. Thought it was hilarious. Enjoy.
A store that sells new husbands has opened in New York City , where a woman may go to choose a husband. Among the instructions at the entrance is a description of how the store operates:
You may visit this store ONLY ONCE! There are six floors and the value of the products increase as the shopper ascends the flights. The shopper may choose any item from a particular floor, or may choose to go up to the next floor, but you cannot go back down except to exit the building!
So, a woman goes to the Husband Store to find a husband. On the first floor the sign on the door reads:
Floor 1 - These men Have Jobs.
She is intrigued, but continues to the second floor, where the sign
reads:
Floor 2 - These men Have Jobs and Love Kids.
'That's nice', she thinks, 'but I want more.'
So she continues upward. The third floor sign reads:
Floor 3 - These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, and are Extremely Good Looking.
'Wow,' she thinks, but feels compelled to keep going.
She goes to the fourth floor and the sign reads:
Floor 4 - These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, are Drop-dead Good Looking and Help With Housework.
'Oh, mercy me!' she exclaims, 'I can hardly stand it!'
Still, she goes to the fifth floor and the sign reads:
Floor 5 - These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, are Drop-dead Gorgeous, Help with Housework, and Have a Strong Romantic Streak.
She is so tempted to stay, but she goes to the sixth floor, where the sign reads:
Floor 6 - You are visitor 31,456,012 to this floor. There are no men on this floor. This floor exists solely as proof that women are impossible to please. Thank you for shopping at the Husband Store.
PLEASE NOTE:
To avoid gender bias charges, the store's owner opened a New Wives store just across the street.
The first floor has wives that love sex.
The second floor has wives that love sex and have big boobs.
The third, fourth, fifth and sixth floors have never been visited.

Clark Says You Can't Beat $8!
Hey there friends. As you may already know, I'm a fan of Zenni Optical eyeglasses . I've even wrote about them a few times to showcase some of their frames and deals. Well, now they have outdone themselves. They now offer frames from as low as $8! When was the last time you paid $8 for a pair of quality eyeglasses? As you can see from the pictures that I post on this blog, I wear glasses. Even while riding on roller coasters, my glasses are glued to my face. Quite frankly, it sucks not to be able to see so to be able to grab some quality glasses at an affordable price is a monstrous plus for me. Especially since they offer many great lenses to go with their wide selection of frames. Single vision lens, sun sensor (potochromic)lens, tinted sunglasses lens, bifocal lens and progressive lens to name a few.
Even though Zenni Optical has practically no advertising budget, they continue to strive. I wrote about their mention on Fox TV and now they can add The Clark Howard Show to their list of acknowledgments. Check out the below link to read what Clark had to say and don't forget to visit ZenniOptical.com for your prescription eyeglasses. That's where you can pick up some styling glasses like the ones pictured above. Later.
