I Think I Might Be Pregnant

Posted in Food, Nonsense, TV/Movies with tags , , , , , , , , , , , on March 3, 2011 by Bob

Yeah, you heard me. I said I think I am pregnant. Impossible you say? Let’s see …

–       My back hurts

–       My feet hurt

–       I am tired a lot

–       My clothes are shrinking again

–       I am more easily distracted and my head is “in the clouds”

And this is what I ate after work. I came home and I wanted a pickle. Then I had the most incredible urge for a glass of chocolate milk … RIGHT AFTER the pickle. Then for dinner I had a salami sandwich followed by another sandwich, which my wife calls an abomination on bread. A peanut butter and cottage cheese sandwich.

I am not sure how long I have liked this particular combination, but it goes back for many years. I am not sure where I even picked up this unique combination, maybe my mother. Maybe I saw it on some tv show and thought I would try it and I actually liked it. Who knows. I also like peanut butter and banana as well. Not as unusual I will admit. I have never tried the Elvis favorite of peanut butter and pickle. That sounds gross. I am sure there are a few other combos that I have that may gross people out but I don’t want to do that.

Anyone out there have any bizarre food combo they like? Give me something new to gross out my wife with!

 

Jackie and I started watching Heroes this past week. We are still only in the first season and everything is still being set up but I already like the Japanese guy Hiro. He is funny.

 

 

 

Until next time, remember … “Save the cheerleader, save the world.”

Things Are Hard Everywhere … Except Wisconsin

Posted in Nonsense, Wacky News with tags , , , , , on August 16, 2010 by Bob

I know this is a little dated since I first found this headline last week but, I had a three day weekend and I wanted to just relax. So pretend it is last Thursday, you are one day away from the weekend, and this is a topical post. I saw a news headline Thursday that said Wisconsin teachers are suing because Viagra was removed as a covered item in their heath coverage. I really could just end this right there but I am compelled to ramble on further.

I understand that there is not much to do in Wisconsin but seriously, they don’t have ANY other issues as teachers? Granted, I did not read the story, and still don’t plan to because the headline was enough for me. Wisconsin must be the BEST place to be a teacher if the only gripe they have is that Viagra was taken off their health coverage. I can only imagine what goes on in the teacher’s lounges up there. My other question would be, is it only Viagra? Is Cialis banned as well? Will Wisconsinites have to bring their his and her, claw foot bathtubs in from the middle of the lake?

Speaking of which, how is THAT an endorsement of Cialis? “Take our pill and not only will you not want to be in the same tub as your wife, you will want to drag that cast iron monster into a lake and ride it to the bottom!” It is like a flash back to the old days of television when married couples slept in separate beds. Only different. Come on, how many people have outdoor tubs like that?

I will have to say though that those commercials are better than the King advertising Viagra. I haven’t been able to watch an Elvis movie since they started using him in their commercials. The next step is actually going to be HIM, like Fred Astaire dancing with the vacuum. I don’t think I want to know what they will have his CG self doing in those commercials. But I digress …

Back to topic. I am inviting anyone who works in the Wisconsin school system to clarify this issue. I am hoping that the one person I am thinking of did NOT initiate this lawsuit. Yes David, I am speaking of you. Yeah, I called you out on this. You are the only one I know of who works in the system up there.

Well, this was a hard post to write. I thought it would stand up on it’s own with the subject matter, but I feel it fell a little limp. I think I was a little soft on the topic. At least that once this is posted you can read it whenever the mood strikes you. If this blog takes more than 4 hours to read you may be suffering from a severe medical condition … seriously see a doctor.

Well, I am spent for today so until next time, remember … “We’re consumers. We are by-products of a lifestyle obsession. Murder, crime, poverty, these things don’t concern me. What concerns me are celebrity magazines, television with 500 channels, some guy’s name on my underwear. Rogaine, Viagra, Olestra.”
