On a Day Off... I Got to Thinking....

1. Stop and Shop Seasonal Aisle -- Ok... it's the end of summer and it is the end of a particularly insanely hot summer with a lot of days over 90. No one is looking forward to my favorite season of Fall more than I, but this morning I was surprised at the local Stop and Shop when I walked down the seasonal aisle. It is the end of August and they had an entire aisle devoted to HALLOWEEN. Are you kidding me? Halloween? It is over two months away. Argh... at least start selling the candy bags. :-D

2. 80s Porn Guy -- There is a guy in my building that looks like an 80s porn star. Let me try to explain to you what I mean. He has a really tightly trimmed mustache. He is lean and has hair parted in the middle which seems to be feathered. I really can't help but laugh at him every time I see him. Below is a picture of Ravishing Rick Rude -- a former WWE/WWF/WCE wrestler. He is a bit more buffed than the fella in my building, but you get the drift. The 80s porn guy in my office is this cheesy... I don't know...maybe it is all the hair products or something.



3. Hot History Chicks -- My college degree is in HIstory. I just watched National Treasure and the chick in that movie (I think it is Diane Kruger) is absolutely stunning and she loves history. Ummm... four years of college and NOT once or even close did I ever see a hot chick who likes history. Something is wrong with that movie... now I understand why people told me to check reality at the door.

4. What's Happening? -- I have started to watch some DVDs of this show. I used to love this show as a kid. I have memories of watching it every single day and then watching Buck Rogers. I put in the first episode ever where Roger leaves Dee home alone and then pretends she hasn't run away. The whole time we know that the mother has her. I am still laughing out loud. I couldn't stop myself. This show is still funny.

5. "Got milk? Batboy takes dare, drinks gallon" -- This story kills me. A Florida Marlins batboy takes a dare from an opposing team's player (who used to be with the Marlins). He was to drink a gallon of milk in 60 minutes without throwing up. According to a report, the bat boy was offered $500 if he could accomplish the task. He was suspended for six days for accepting the prank. The pitcher (Brad Penny of the Dodgers) sums it up perfectly. ''It's kind of ridiculous that you get a 10-game suspension for steroids and a six-game suspension for milk."
