Fear Factor

Remember when you would watch American Idol because they were doing the preliminary cuts and every now and then youd get a guy who really sucked and it was fun to laugh at him? Well every Thursday, Friday and Saturday night I get to laugh at those people at work. The Village hosts karaoke and its just like the first couple episodes of AI. Most of the people cant sing but go up there balls out and let it rip. Occasionally therell be a person who can sing and thats kinda fun because they really get into it and its almost as good as a cover band.

Another observation Ive made over the last couple months is that a large percentage of the participants are mentally, socially or physically deficient. Weve got retards, paraplegics, rednecks, and mutants. Then theres the people who like to slut it up. They get all rock starred out then get on stage.

Im not saying any of these people should stop karaoking. I do have one request though. Stop picking songs that have long instrumental breaks. Yeah Im sure you love Free Bird and Stairway but do you know how stupid you look during those guitar solos?

In Depth Movie Review

Just watched Lost in Lamancha. Watch it. Go here for people trying to be clever while talking about it.

Excuses And The Excusing Excusers Who Excuse Them

Last night at work The Ugly Kid and I were talking about playing a little DnD. The next step is, of course, to call Shedubeard and see what he thinks about it. He answers the phone and I ask him what hes doing that evening. "RnP?" he says. (For those of you who dont know RnP is on of the DnD games involving Ugly and I.) I say yes, yes that is what youre doing. Then he says "no... I cant..." HUH?!?!?!? WHY WOULD YOU SUGGEST THAT YOU WANT TO PLAY WHEN YOU "CANT"? I dont know if Professor Pregnant was sitting next to him and told him he couldnt. (This would have been fine. The womans about to burst and certainly has priority on her husbands schedule.) Heres the excuse he gave. Weve got a lot going on the next couple days with the wedding. Huh??? What wedding. I know that one of the Professors friends is getting married and shes quite involved with that. What this has to do with Shedus schedule at 10PM I dont know but that was his excuse.

Got To Get This Monkey Off My Back

I just went and took a couple state mechanics certification tests. Its hard to say how I did. It wouldnt surprise me one bit if I didnt pass either test. But then I really dont know how I could have done any better. Some of the questions were very specific and I did well on those for the most part. The others seemed very vague. In the end I had at least a d4s chance on each question and in 6-4 weeks the results should be in my mailbox.

Michelles Jelly

You know how when you grab a jar of jelly you get a satisfied feeling. Theres something about those glass jars that makes you feel good about eating jelly. Thank god they dont put jelly in those wimpy plastic jars.

Wait! What? Plastic jelly? Its not exactly a new invention. Ive had it in my house for a couple months now. How could I betray the glass jar you ask. Ill tell you. These plastic jars are amazing. Not only do they miraculously maintain the glory and prestige of the glass jar but you dont have to worry about dropping it. (A problem associated primarily with pickles but also a concern among jelly eaters.) So next time youre in the grocery store and you see that plastic jar sitting next to the glass one dont shun it. Give it a shot. You wont be disappointed.

Black Country Woman

I just watched Peter Jacksons Heavenly Creatures. I was told that its a lesbian movie so I was a little disappointed to find out the main characters were 14 year old girls. Aside from that it was good. Watch this movie.
