Well damn. It's the end of February already. watDhell?? Of course, I can't complain too much. The start of March puts us a little bit closer
to the warm months. After two days of outside labor, I'm ready for the warm months.
All for today. I'm back on the farm early in hopes of finishing by mid-day. Stay warm. Keep your powder dry. Till tomorrow.

HAPPY "30th" BIRTHDAY FRANCO ! ! !
Apparently my pseudo-adopted child has hit the big 3-0. I would say it's all downhill from here, but I'm not really sure that Franco has ascended much from his starting
point. While I would usually pull out all the stops for someone's big day, Franco belongs to that group of people who think their computer will melt if they view this page.
Go figure. Regardless, hope you have a great day Franco and Happy Birthday.

Tanks to NextFlix and the Xbox 360, Tacy and I have been watching episodes of Priveval. This
BBC-based show follows a group of scientists as they study and work around time portal
anomalies. What better way to spice up a science show then to add
man eating dinosaurs?? How about adding government corruption, media involvement, side stories of love, and a man-killing Cougar ???
There have been three seasons so far, and I'm pretty sure a fourth is on the way. Considering how they make staff changes, I'm not sure that's a good thing or not. So far, after 16 episodes, they have removed, switched out, or added at least 5 main characters.
While it keeps you on your toes and the story interesting, I've been kinda partial to a few of those removed. Now that
forward time travel is being explored in the show, who knows if they will turn up again or not. If you get a chance, try to catch a few episodes one way or another. It's a fun show with an interesting story line and that's pretty damn
hard to find these days.
Catch of the Day Pics are requested by BigP. Apparently he has a fondness for red haired girls with nice bjoobies. If you have a request, or if there is someone/something you'd like to see,
let me know.

Wednesday.
Gonna sleep in a little this morning. A couple of nights with lower than average nap totals has me running a wittle slow. No better
way to remedy that than to spend a few extra hours snoozing. If we're lucky, I'll post a few things when I wake up.

In NFL news, it appears that L.T. Got The Heave-Ho. After playing his
entire career with the Chargers, L.T. has been sent packing. Citing his age and the desire to pass more, team officials said it was best for both parties. Guess we'll have to wait and see how the
third party (the fans) reacts.
Talk about Making A Big Splash. Why did no one stop this before
it ever started?? A large person sliding down a hill on plastic is bad enough, but to introduce the wave runner . . . . .
If flying fat people isn't enough, try the In-Air Idiots. I can relate to the build time in this one.
I would have never been that lucky though.

Monday.
Now this looks awesome. For some reason, I feel like I've posted this trailer before. If so, let's just say this is a repeat to stress how good I think "The Crazies" is gonna be. The fact that
Bullock (Timothy Olyphant) from Deadwood is in it already scores a few points with me. Being that it's a George Romero remake from 1973 definitely scores it a position on the "Must See List". Every thing I've read so far
has stressed that it's NOT a zombie flick, so don't rush to call it that. People look dead and animated, so I'm calling them zombies. Regardless, I'm hoping to see this opening day so I'll definitely let you know.
Here are the overall standings of the Fantasy NASCAR League after Week 2. As you can see, I had yet another stunning week. The race winner's one day total is over 80% of my 2 week score. watDhell is that about? Not even sure why I try sometimes.
Maybe I can get my ducks in a row this week and at least turn in a Top 5 in the next race at Las Vegas..
Before anyone asks, the song at the end of the movie trailer is "Mad World", by Gary Jules. Cuz i know someone was gonna ask.
And finally, a little George Carlin to help get you through your day.

Do

What

I was
thinking about how people seem to read the Bible a whole lot more as they get
older; then it dawned on me ..... they're cramming for their final

I
thought about how mothers feed their babies with tiny little spoons and forks,
so I wondered what do Chinese mothers use? Toothpicks?
Why

Why

Hope your day goes well. I'm looking for weekend war stories. If you had "one of those weekends", drop me an email with some details.

Sunday.
I actually have a few things I could post here today; however, I've decided to wait. It seems that overall numbers on Sunday are
waaayyy down, so corrective action must be taken. What that action is, I have no clue. Hopefully me sleeping well past Noon today will
shed some light on the issue at hand.
Hope your Sunday goes well. Good stuff tomorrow. Promise.

It's not nice to mess with Mother Nature. I'm guessing one too many surfers pee-d in the Ocean. Of course, after an event like this, i imagine thats not all thats gonna need
cleaning up.

Friday.
I'm one for supporting our troops no matter the cause we send them to. Geezer keeps me with plenty of content, but I particularly liked this one. Rather than show all the videos of insurgents
getting blown to bits (i'll do a full day of those later), I thought we'd do a little "building up" today. The track is called "The Warrior Song" and can be downloaded by
hitting The Warrior Song.com. I'm thinking I'll jam this track a few times before my next
Call of Duty session to see if it helps my aim. Doubt it, but i'll try it.
Now that I have you all patriotic and the like, let's see exactly how American you are. The Fill-In The Map Game is actually a repost here, but I thought
i'd see what you've learned. It's simple: take the states as they provide them and put them in their correct location within the countries
boundaries. Did I mention there are NO lines??
I was 84% correct with an average off distance of 52 miles. Damn Delaware. Give it a try and let me know how you do.
Hope your Friday goes well and may the weekend go . . . . . well-er.
February 18th, 2010
Thursday.
I guess everyone needs to stay warm, huh? Dogs, thugs, kids, who is the next snuggie for? Fat people? Oh wait, we have that one "covered" already.
Where have all the Full-Service gas stations gone? Apparently, they are in Europe. No wonder you never hear
them complaining about gas prices. Hell, I'd be filling up, syphoning out, then filling up again. I'm thinking that the job of filling up the little lawn mower gas can is a showstopper.
Hope your Thursday goes well. One more day and the weekend is upon us. Enjoy.
February 17th, 2010
Wednesday.
Another day, another update. I suppose I should apologize for the recent lack of "fluff". While my laziness is partly to blame, I can honestly say that I haven't
really found anything that good to post. Granted, Geezer keeps me well stocked with jokes and the like, but I just haven't seen anything breathtaking as of late.
I mean, you can watch some Extreme British Arm Wrestling. Of course,
the first thing I want to do here is kick the guy under the table and the slam his fist into the fury.
Or you can watch the
Canadian Catch the Bridge. Not sure which is more stupid, the act of riding your snow mobile on the water
or stripping off your clothes and diving to retrieve it. Those crazy Canucks.
Well, I can't leave you without something of worth. With no further ado, I give you 1973:
Hope your Hump Day goes well.

I'M ALIVE
The computer, that is. My primary rig (cpu) suffered a massive virus/spyware attack early yesterday morning and I spent most of the day battling the beast. In all fairness, it didn't take
all day, but it was very time consuming. In the end, it was Good Ol' Microsoft that saved the
day. Go figure. And they were the last place I looked. I'm still scouring files and pouring over event logs to try and identify the actual culprit, but for the time being, we are in the air and afloat.
CONGRATS to Ralf (aka Dirk, aka ninelives) for winning the first Fantasy NASCAR race of the year. Ralf was a late entry last season and an almost late entry this
season, yet he somehow managed to pull out a win. I expect the first of many for him this year. NASCAR is off to the West coast for the next race and hopefully I can improve upon my
current 12th place ranking.
If I'm going to mention Ralf, then I definitely have to say CONGRATS BUD on winning yet another week of Fantasy Golf. We are six weeks into the season and Budman has won HALF of the events. watDhell is that about?
Looks as if someone is taking this Fantasy League thing seriously. I, for one, am definitely taking it serious, I just can't seem to win.
If you need further proof, I placed 9th out of 13 teams this week in Golf and I'm currently sitting in fourth. Someone has to be a loser for there to be a winner.
Hope your Monday goes well. DOUBLE CATCH to catch-up. If all goes well, I'll see you here tomorrow.

Yup, those are palm trees covered in snow. watDhell is that about? In total, the downtown Myrtle Beach area accumulated around 2-3 inches of snow overnight. While I'm not a big fan of cold or snow, I have to admit
that it was pretty watching it fall and fun to get out and drive in. The roads, in general, or in great shape; however, I can't speak for inland where I think they got a few extra inches. I can tell
you that the city of Myrtle Beach really phuhked up from a P.R. stand point.
It seems that someone, in their infinite wisdom, decided to cancel this weekend's marathon late last night citing probable poor road conditions. Someone apparently forgot to tell the runners. At 7 a.m. this morning, I counted over 200 runners up and
down Ocean Boulevard. What's worse is there is/was NO ASSISTANCE set-up anywhere along the course. I'm not sure who is crazier: the city or the runners. Running and finishing a marathon is one thing, to do it Iditarod style and it NOT COUNT is
another thing.
Here are a few more pics from my venture out this morning. Wes and I are supposed to hit the State Park a little later this morning, so maybe i can post more later. Enjoy.
(NOT a happy Jeep.)
(Parking lot outside my home.)
(This road ends at the ocean in another mile. Promise.)
(YES, it does snow on the beach)
(Welcome to the Sun Fun City of the South)
(Ain't Nature so damn pretty ??)
(Please do not walk on the dunes.)
(Def need Jose if you playing volleyball today.)
You can see more snow pictures ON THE FORUM. Speaking of
pictures . . . . DOUBLE CATCH to celebrate the 13th and the snow.

The 2010 Winter Olympic Games start TONIGHT ! ! Straight from Vancouver, 86 countries will fight it out
for gold, silver, and bronze. While I hate the winter season, the Winter Olympics have some of my favorite events to watch. From freestyle skiing to the Super G to bobsledding, you
can usually catch some pretty good action. Yahoo even suggests 10 Things To Watch For
during tonight's opening ceremony. I'm thinking I may have to catch the highlights of that one.

Quick day today. Lots of stuff going on in the real world. Hope your Thursday goes well. Make it through the day and it's all

Finally, MTV has announced that it will Remove The Music From MTV. It's about damn time. I
haven't been a fan of MTV since the early 90's, so I must admit that this doesn't effect me. I am glad that someone is finally facing the cold, hard fact that music has been absent from the channel for
decades now. Good riddance to bad rubbish I say. If that doesn't sit well with you, consider this: MTV plans to focus more on the shows that people like to watch, like "Jersey Shore" and "Teen Mom".
watDhell are they talking about? Personally, I think all those people who actually enjoy these shows should be shipped off instead of the music. Oh well. As i said before, I never watch the channel,
so it doesn't matter to me.
February 9th, 2010

Nothing like zombie killing and rock n roll to get your day started. This makes me want to watch the "Living Dead" movies and then go walk down the boulevard with a shotty.
Oh, those were the days.

Definitely one of my favorite Super Bowl commercials. You can WATCH ALL THE SUPER BOWL VIDEOS through
NFL.com. Figure they are pretty much the authority on these types of things. Turns out the Tim Tebow Ad wasn't as bad as I'd thought it would.
Definitely surprised me with that one. Most of the Doritos ads were cool, but a few should have never seen the drawing board. Did you notice the MAJOR sponsor that was
missing this year? After 23 years,
NO Pepsi Ads. watDhell is that about? Pepsi always churned out pretty decent Bowl commercials, and they
were definitely missed this year. Give the game a A-, while the commercials get only a B- for this year.
February 7th, 2010
Sunday.
SUPER BOWL SUNDAY ! ! !
It all comes down to this. While neither is my team of choice, at least it should be a good game. Plus, with the way these two played all year,
it should be these guys. Both teams flirted with perfection and both ended the year miserably. I personally detest the entire Manning family, but that doesn't
mean I'm a Saints fan. In fact, if I have to choose a favorite for today's game, it will have to be: the commercials.
All for today. Tacy and I decided to pool our Valentines Day gifts and get SOMETHING
we BOTH can enjoy. Now i may have to watch the damn game just for the display. Oh well.
Enjoy your day. Enjoy the game. See ya tomorrow.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MIKE G.! ! !
watDhell. Let me be the first to say it: I HATE the New Style of Monopoly. Hate it.
Who cares if its the 75th Anniversary?? Why would you do something so radically different to something that part of it charm lies in its appearance?? A round playing field replaces the square design. Guess that takes the "good fortune around the corner" aspect out of it, huh?
Now it's more like life and just a monotonous trudge around in a circle. No more pewter pieces, instead you have clear plastic markers to move around. Cuz what we need in this World is more non-descript pieces of plastic to identify who we are. Doesn't Visa do that enough already?
No more cash money, everything is plastic. Yup, an ATM replaces the bankers job. Guess that's another take on realism. I hear the ATM part of the game is made in China and the voice is Pakistani. (Incidentally, there has been an electronic banking version out for some time now. I have
that version, and it SUCKS. Swiping a credit card a few hundred times during a single game is a pain in the ASS.)
I wish the slaughter stopped there, but that's just the main course. Inflated prices mean no more $200 for passing GO, but rather $2 million. Community Chest and Chance cards have been updated and re-worded. (Guess there goes my $10 second place, huh?) Ready for the end all of the madness?
The game will now play music when certain events happen. Holy Hell. I'm burning someone's house down. Why, dear God? Why do we need to hear
Rhianna, Daniel Powter, or Beyonce? Powter is considered the World's Largest One Hit Wonder after Don McLean, so I guess we are looking to him for business ethic? Rhianna is a huge bohemian beyotch who gets her ass kicked by a wanna be thug-oompa-loompa. Someone for our lil girls to look up to. And
Beyonce is . . . . . well, Beyonce. (i hear if you make fun of Beyonce that Jay-Z sends the ghost of Left-Eye to your house to clog your toilet.) Could you SELL OUT any more HASBORO?? Did Justin Timberlake christen each board with the tip of his pee-pee??
Needless-to-say, I'm pissed. Pretty sure I'll add it to My Collection, but I won't be happy about it. Maybe using Coco Graves as the Feature Friday model will help dull the pain. That or several hours of killing
on C.O.D. Either way, I hope you have a great weekend.

Modern porn music for the masses. Before you click, there is NO moving video. Just the song with a picture of the album cover. Sorry. I was mistaken . . . . no one makes
albums any more, so i expect this is the CD cover. This entire collection of songs was a free download and believe it or not, there is some pretty good stuff here. I might could actually leave the sound
turned up on the videos if they all played this kind of stuff. And before anyone asks, there is NO relation.
Ooohhhh.... it's about that time of year again. Time to pony up the pennies and buy your special someone something . . . . . special. What better else than
sweets for your sweet. If you love her, try some Toasted Marshmallow. If you love her more when she's no where phuhkin near you, how about some Buttered Popcorn ??
I'm going to be posting a few select banners between now and V-day. If you see something you like, please feel free to purchase two of them. Also, if you feel skippy, hit the Google bar links today as well.
My learning of the Xbox 360 Arcade System continues. Last
night I actually took the time to snoop around the entire thing. Lots and lots of stuff to explore. I downloaded a few game demos and of course played a ton of Modern Warfare. It didn't take long for me to find the next
big "problem" in my social life: 1 vs 100. Primetime contests where you match wits with people around the World. I love me some trivia, so it's probably a good thing you can
only play during the primetime hours of the evening.

Start of the week. watDhell to do . . . .
If you are an Xbox 360 owner and like to play online, then I'm your man. As most of you know, I've been playing BigP's Xbox 360 for a couple of weeks
now. I finally bit the bullet and bought my own. Bad scene for the sofa. If you wanna be my friend, send a friend request to watDhellion 13. I'm basically
raping "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2"
and I can always use some help.
