"The Happy Sad Face" Episode 2

Stupid Monday Game Bonus!

The best caption wins a VFW (brace yourself Grassy) premium drink token. Look at the cartoon below, substitute my response to Grassy's tallness with yours. GL!

OK. Grassy is cool with the SMG bonus. She earns an automatic VFW token of her choice. What a great sport! Damn I am broke.

Week 4's Stupid Monday Game!

Week 3's winner: Boni, for her comment "True makes me want to put an evening gown on, sit on the skylight of a convertible with a glass of champagne and ride with the wind. This IS the sound of my soul!!"

Boni wins 2 VFW domestic beer token. That's right 2 because I said so!

This week's song is "Little Red Corvette" by Prince. You know the drill!

Me and Grassy

Week 3's Stupid Monday Game!

Last week's winner: Reina, for her comment "i have no memories of having heard this song, therefore, it doesnt remind me of anything...except another moment in my life that i was trying forgot but remember." I chose this one because reading it was like being punched in the hippocampus. Cyclical thought processes? Maybe. I akin it to verbal jiu jitsu. Thanks for the memories Reina!

This week's song is "True" by Spandau Ballet. This should be interesting. The winner will receive 1 VFW domestic beer token.

Bad news flash! It looks like I had a relapse. I know it is Tuesday. I will look in the manual to see if holidays are exempted from The Stupid Monday Game.

Recovery Meter (Off the Charts)

I delivered a database I created for my colleague 120 hours in advance. WTF is happening to me?

FYI! A Mesa/Boogie Nomad 45 is a Guitar Amplifier.

My Mesa/Boogie Nomad 45 came with a 40 page manual. In the manual, you can find technical specifications such as, number of tubes, sound settings, how not to get killed by way of electric shock, etc. My daughter TK came with none. I only know bare minimum specs such as, age 7, female, loves to hug and kiss, has me wrapped around her little pinky. Earlier this week she was complaining of poor eyesight. So, I brought her to the eye clinic, she received strange eye tests, got her eyes dilated (dilated pupils look cool BTW), then she was prescribed glasses (yes, in that order). The result? She is blind as a bat. Now I have to find someone who can teach her echolocation.

It had to take her less than ideal eyesight to make me realize that humans need to come with a manual as well. You see, I can crank out some killer tones with my mesa but I really suck at picking up adverse physiological cues of my very own child.

So in closing, next time humans have sex, there should be a manual that says something like “Penis may enter, but read page 1046 before ejaculating.”

Stupid Monday Game!

Last week's winner: Grassy wins a (meaning 1) VFW domestic beer token for her comment "this song reminds me of 5 minutes ago when i said "screw u man!" to the recovering procrastinator...." only because she followed the directions! Thank you all for playing!

Today's song is Stevland Hardaway Morris's (AKA Stevie Wonder) "Sir Duke"! PLEASE COMMENT ON WHAT THE SONG REMINDS YOU OF. The winner will receive yet another VFW domestic beer token.

"God" Particle

This post is probably 4 out of 5 stars on the Dork Scale, but I am bummed that the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is down for another 2 months (yes grassy, I am aware this is old news). Since a common theme of this blog is timing, I feel it is relevant to inform my 3 or so readers about this. My friend Eric called me last week to tell me about the news. He sounded very disappointed. I was shocked and confused because I could not determine what was more ridiculous, Eric calling me or that he cared about the LHC. I guess we all have to wait a couple more months before experiments to find (or not) the "God" particle get into full swing. It is kind of funny that an experiment dealing with subatomic particles is such a BIG deal! I need Xanax.
