Upcoming Scene From Lost

Pregnant with My Kid

An 85 year old man is having his annual checkup and his doctor asks him how he's feeling.

"I'm doing great, Doc!  I've got me an 18 year old bride who's pregnant with my kid!  What do you say about that!"

The doc thinks about this for a sec and then says, "Let me tell you a story.  I know of a guy who is one hell of a hunter.  Never missed a season his entire life.  But then one day, while old and gray, he's in a bit of a hurry and instead of his gun, he accidentally grabs his umbrella.  So he's out in the woods and suddenly he spots a beaver.  He grabs his umbrella... points... shoots... BAM!  The beaver falls over dead."

"Impossible!"  Exclaims the old man.  "There's no way he shot that beaver."

The doc says, "My point exactly."

Happy Fridge

Hey there.  Finally!  A fridge that is just as happy to see me as I am happy to see it.

7 - Eleven Introduces "Game Day" Beer

Hey there.  Would you buy a 12 pack of beer for $6.99 to $8.99?  Sounds like steal to me.  Especially when many of us are still pinching pennies and making sure we don't spend a fortune on unnecessary stuffs.  But when a game is on and you're buddies are over, how can you not have beer?  And where do you usually go for a beer run?  If you're like me, I hit the closet thing and it's usually a 7-Eleven.  You find those suckers everywhere and it's better than hitting a market since you'll avoid those long lines.  7-Eleven knows this and has now tapped into the beer market with their own brand of beer, Game Day Beer.

This is smart.  7_Eleven knows it's customers and it's a fairly well known beer run spot.  So once you're there and you see a 12 pack of beer for about $8, how can you not go, "Screw it, let's give this a go."  I know for a fact that I'll be giving it a try once the 7-Eleven by my house starts carrying it.  Why not?  Everything is worth a shot.  Whether or not this is success is left to be seen and if you're like me, you're going to want to make sure that it tastes good too.  Considering that it's being made by one of Wisconsin's oldest breweries gives some reputation and credence to the new kid on the block, but whether or not it can tap into Bud's and Miller's customers will tell if this beer will be even remotely successful.

One a side note, I love the name of it.  Game Day Beer.  Great marketing there.  Most people are not lone drinkers and drink beer only during certain social events, like a football, basketball, or baseball game.  This beer clearly is aimed at those customers and quite frankly, is pure genius.  

A Problem with Snoring

Hey there.  Recently, my wife and I have been getting less sleep.  No, not entirely because of the baby (he has yet to sleep through the night but we feel he's getting there!) but because it turns out that I have developed a habit of snoring.  Yup...  turns out that I now snore.  I don't think that I snored before.  If I did, I would have heard from the wife, but now...  she lets me know.  And it's usually in the middle of the night...  A good kick in the shin...  a tossing of the pillow... an elbow to my side... and just recently found out that she covered my face with a pillow!  It was in jest and was only a sec (or so she claims...  lmao)

Anyways...  I'm trying to get rid of it.  My wife has noticed that if I sleep with pillows the snoring stops or at least diminishes.  My problem with that is that I'm extremely uncomfortable sleeping with pillows.  Yeah, I'm a weird one.  I just can't find my groove and sleep when I'm on pillows...  let alone be semi propped up to stop this snoring monster that I have become.  My mother in law suggested that this may have been because I've put on some weight. I don't know if there is truth to that but I have gained weight.  I finally topped the 180 lbs mark this week (I'm 5'8) and I feel a little heavier but I don't feel lethargic or anything of that sort.

So what do you think?  Any old wives tales that will fix me or some well known stuffs to do/take that will help stop the snoring?  I really don't want to get a kick to the shin again.  The wife is getting stronger (all them gym work outs are starting to pay off for her) and I don't know if my shin can take it.  lol  Until then...  Later!

BCBG Handbag Winner

Hey there.  I was hoping to get a better turnout in these type of contest, but alas... it was not meant to be.  Too bad for, but great luck to those that entered since there were few entries, meaning more of a chance for them to win!  And the winner is...  ENIGMAGEEK!

You've won a bag.  I'll be contacting you for shipping instructions and what not shortly!  Thanks to those that entered.  I'm not so sure I'll have any more since I didn't get the best of turns outs, but who knows... Maybe I'll give em away anyways!  Until then, later!
