Things I like

I got in the car after bowling last night. Hit the exterior temp control on the dash and there it was 7:30PM and it was 69 degrees. To some people that is great, a warm temperature, to me it is freaking funny. I don't know how or when it started but in my family and circle of friends the number 69 elicits a cackle of a laugh. You just point and give your best "HeHeHe" in a creepy old man laugh. If your tongue hangs out a bit all the better.

Drive past exit 69 on the highway? HeHeHe.

Team scores a 669 total game bowling? HeHeHe.

Jared Allen makes a tackle for a loss? HeHeHe.

See how the possibilities are endless with this?!?!

Sure I know it is juvenile at best, and maybe a little creepy at the worst. But to me it it is funny and will probably not ever be not funny. I am a simple man with simple likes. And for what ever reason this is one of them. Maybe now I need to get into NASCAR and see if there is a driver with the number 69 (HeHeHe). I guess I could set my favorite channel on the remote to recall 69 or 169 every time I click it HeHeHe. Oh this is never going to end.


Speaking of bowling Last night a young man that I thought may have been with the table next to us (turns out he wasn't) just plopped down with our work league and started chatting it up with us.

There were a few things this kid needed but I will tell you the things he did not.

He did not need confidence to sit down and strike up a conversation with people much older than him.

He didn't need an explanation on how the game of bowling is played.

He didn't need to be taught how to knuckle pound or high five or when to use them.

And Lastly he most certainly didn't need a haircut. This boy's mullet was F-A-N-T-A-S-T-I-C. When I was growing up, having a hair cut like this was just having long hair. Today it is a fashion choice and this kid rocked it. The only thing that may have made it a bit better is if he was wearing a shirt that somehow worked the number 69 onto it HeHEHE.


After Church on Sunday Jamie Lou and I tried to stop by the Waveland Cafe for some breakfast. It used to be a place we liked to go even though it was one of the smokier places around. Maybe in third place after the Front Row and Cooneys. But now that it is smoke free it would be perfect. Only apparently everyone else feels this way now as the place was more than a little bit packed. every seat was filled and there was a line of people waiting to get seated. There wasn't a lot of talking going on and there was a felling of pissed off/angry in the air from everyone that was eating. No smiles were on faces that I could see. So Jamie Lou decided to drive me to the other side of the world to try breakfast at MiMi's. Let's just say that the combination of screaming baby, 18 inch celery stalk in my bloody mary that when removed lowered the bloody mary volume in my glass by 20%, smudged mirrors, elitist emo kid meeting his girlfriends parents for the first time and telling the world his parents were wrong to be getting divorced in a voice loud enough to be heard next door, and so-so food left me less than impressed. I did like that they said it would be 15 minutes and it was only a 5 minute wait. As Jamie Lou says, under promise and over deliver and with the wait time they did it. But with everything else MiMi's may have made the Old Milwaukee Never Again list with me.

Song of the day: "Woo Hah!! Got You All In Check" Busta Rhymes. It makes me sad that videos are almost a thing of the past. In college when this bad boy showed up on MTv(yes you younger readers out there Music Television used to show music videos) I was like WOO HA, that is effing awesome.

2008, U Gotta Love it!



Are State Fare is a great state fare! Ewe all will have a good thyme at the fare. Eye no eye will.

Oh yes it is that time again. August 7 - 17 is The IOWA STATE FAIR! While I am not a huge fan of the fair, a million people a year can't all be wrong. So in the spirit of state pride and the love of mullets let's examine things you can do at the fair.

Tickets to Grand Stand Shows (click here for ticketmaster link):
  • Micheal W Smith
  • Josh Turner : Craig Morgan
  • Rick Springfield : Patty Smyth and Scandal
  • Foreigner : Night Ranger
  • Deery Brothers late Model race
  • The Charlie Daniels Band : .38 Special : Shooter Jennings
  • Grand Outlaw National Tractor and Truck Pull
  • Vanessa Hudgens : Corbin Bleu
  • Blake Shelton : Tracy Lawrence
  • Demolition Derby with Doctor Danger
  • Def Leppard
  • The Rhubarb Tour with Garrison Keilor : Suzy Boguss
Have I heard of all these acts? No. But they are pay acts at the Iowa State Fair, so you know they are good. If you ever get the chance to hear Garrison Keilor spin a yarn I highly recommend it. Amazing story teller.

Heck then the free entertainment, just to mention a few
  • The Blenders
  • The Nadas
  • Ron Dante of the Archies
  • Lady Antebellum
There is the midway, the double ferris wheel and Big Ben Tower Drop, to game that can't be won eeerrrrrr I mean games of skill

Iowa Olympian Shawn Johnson will be honored next to the butter cow as a butter sculpture. So that is cool.

There is the Bill Riley Talent Search.

Animals with giant testicles. I mean some are GIANT!

and the food, good Lord the food on sticks ( I have read there are over 30 items on a stick this year)...
  • Fried Pineapple on a stick (the new kid on the block)
  • Salad on a Stick (the health Choice)
  • Pork Chops on a stick
  • Cheese on a stick
  • Turkey drumsticks
  • Corn Dogs on a stick
  • Cotton Candy
  • Dutch Bologna on a stick
  • Candy bar on a stick
And of course there is East Side Pride Night. If you don't already have a mullet grown or an outfit picked out I suggest you get on it. I already did (you may need to click to look closer):

1980's Party

I am thinking that the 1980's, while WONDERFUL as a child with Transformers, GI Joe and some pretty good cartoons, had to have been better for the adults. So when a 80's themed party was thrown for no reason by our friends the Stovers we jumped at it. I originally thought it mights have been funny to show up looking like we were from the 1880's, and them acting embarrassed to find it was a 1980's party. But a couple pastel shirts, 2 popped collars, and a sailing sweater I was good to go. Jamie Lou on the other hand went the prom dress route, it was great. The only thing missing was a few 8-balls of Coke, snow, C, flake, blow or lady. ( really am not up or down with all the nicknames, but everything is on the internet now :-)

When Jamie Lou tells me the next day we can't party like that anymore that means a good time was had by all.

I think the photos speak for themselves so ENJOY!

EDIT Well, thanks to FlickrSlidr my issues with uploading have been fixed so now the flickr slideshow seems to appear to appear....
