  • And That’s Why Chewy Doesn’t Let Me Go Grocery Shopping By Myself …

    For the past few months I’ve had to take over the grocery shopping duties (among other things hence the less time to put my thoughts into words) and every now and then I end up coming home with something such as a box of Hostess GLOBalls.  Not that I’m a slave to advertising but how could you not want chocolate cake that is filled with cream and not just surround by marshmallow but also green colored coconut flakes! 

    Still, there’s a picture of Green Lantern on the box and it’s not John Stewart Green Lantern.  Nor is it Kyle Rayner Green Lantern.  Or is it Guy Gardner Green Lantern.  But it’s Hal Jordan Green Lantern.  The same Hal Jordan that goes crazy and starts killing-off-people-Green Lantern.  Yes, it’s that Green Lantern and personally my favorite Earth based GL Corps member (of course pre-crazy version).

    As you can see the GLOBalls are actually pretty good as Sharka will attest to.  They are delicious and you get some inkling of a fruit serving from that day-glo green coconut flakes.  Healthy indeed.  

    And for those wondering, yes, Sharka is wearing a flu shot sticker from Target.  It’s that time of year and everyone should go get a flu shot.  In this case, Target was/is offering flu shots and for MC folks it was a pretty good deal.  Half-price, get the shot whenever the pharmacy is open and your medical insurance may actually cover the whole thing.  Plus you get the nifty sticker too.  We luv
    Target.

  • Who Didn’t See This Coming? …

    The government holding things back from the public?  No, REALLY?!  I guess it’s better if the public is kept ignorant.  Did it do it’s job of making American’s not really care as much as they could have?  Probably.  I knew a few people who were pretty upset and concerned (mostly about the environmental impact and the animals … What about the animals?!) but most were like “Meh.  I don’t live down there.”  I’d have to believe most people didn’t care because they were dealing with other crap in their lives like being unemployed or having their house foreclosed on..

    I do wonder if Obama will be blasted like Bush was after the reports stated they probably didn’t have enough information about Iraq and WMDs.  Some how I doubt it since the Big O will probably get another pass on this strategic blunder.

    On a side note, this Star Wars party looked AWESOME!  But why is Carbonite Han have blue on his sleeves?  Han was wearing an all white shirt when he got frozen.  Someone needs to double-check their facts first.

  • Finally Over …

    Yep, the MLB regular season is finally over.  In “Buck We Trust” seemed to work because the Orioles just had two straight winning months in a row.  Something they haven’t had in years.  YEARS!  In the end the Orioles finished with a 66-96 record (The Washington Nationals finally had a better record than the Orioles finishing 69-93).  The only bad thing is at one point the Orioles had the worse record in baseball and then they started to win.  That really messed up their opportunity to grab the number overall pick in the upcoming draft.  Oh well.

    And what about them Skins?  Another nail biter but I’ll take that win.  The team is still a work in progress.  I still wish the defense would get a few sacks.  Watching that Giants-Bears game last night the Giants D had sacked Cutler six times!  Defense helps win games.  Knocking out Vick does the same.
