PPV; Friday Fun Facts

PPV
Cougars - NOT on Animal Planet and definitely not about the feline variety.
Broke Down Bitches - I think their cars break down and then they get broken down.  Maybe it was the mechanic.
Ghetto Hoochie Girlz: Straight Up Ho's - I think they need to get an editor for the title of this one, but it's ghetto, so proper spelling just ain't cool.
Horny Mexican Mamas - It should be mamacitas, but who am I to correct their Spanish verbage.

Sorry, these titles have been lacking creativity lately.  I always check though, so stay tuned.

Friday Fun Facts
#1 - The OJ Simpson Bronco chase occurred on this day way back in 1994.  He got caught eventually, but I guarantee if he was on a football field trying to outrun the police, he'd have gotten away easy - a few stiff-arms, a spin move, and boom, he's gone!

#2 - In 1885, the Statue of Liberty arrived from France.  Hard to believe they shipped this over in pieces.  Shit, engineering and mega-builders never stop amazing me.

#3 - Two of the best names in basketball history were born on this day.  Former Iowa Hawkeye Luke Recker.  And former Murray St. Racer great and NBA felon player Popeye Jones.

I forgot to mention one other thing - sweet relish on hot dogs should be mandatory in America.

Goodnight.

Is the world coming to an end?

I am just thinking aloud, because earlier today - prior to the rain storms - I took a stroll with the little man over to Starbucks.  I was craving an iced coffee.

I used a $10 speaker thing my mother got me to play Nolan some blues on the walk over so he was pretty much at ease when we got there.

A behemoth blond woman was there ordering 6 drinks - five of which she had never heard of, but insisted they weren't made right.

I ordered up my venti iced coffee and added the sugar and milk.  Then, unbeknownst to anyone in the place, they asked if anyone wanted a free drink.  No one wanted that shit, so I took it.  Are you kidding me?  It's freaking $5 for a coffee at Starbucks ($3.21 for a venti iced).  I brought it home for Linds.  Free and Starbucks never go in the same sentence. 

Were the people inside deaf or were they all too high and mighty to accept a free coffee?  Either way, I won, Starbucks lost, and the people there are uppity assholes.

Bye now.

(Oh, and for the record, I much prefer Dunkin' Donuts' iced coffee to Starbucks)

Home Alone

Before you get too excited, I am not talking about the movie with child-prodigy Macaulay Culkin and classic crime duo Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern (Harry and Marv, repsectively).  But before I go into my rant about me being home alone with the two N's - Nolan and Nathan - I will elaborate on the movie with a few facts:

Released: 1990 - Really? I was 9-years-old at the time?

Runtime: 103 minutes - Time well spent.

Rating: 7.1/10 - This rating is total bullshit - this is a classic Christmas-time movie for anyone who wants to laugh.

Budget: $15 million - Total earnings exceeded 35x that amount worldwide, I'd say it was worth the price tag.

Fun Fact #1: The "evil furnace" was done by two guys with fishing lines and flashlights

Fun Fact #2: The movie Kevin was watching was actually made specifically for the movie.  It was titled "Angels with Filthy Souls" - keep the change ya filthy animal!

Fun Fact #3: Robert DeNiro turned down the role of Harry.

Lindsay had to head into work for a meeting at 10am.  Nolan woke up right as she was walking out the door, so the little dude got a bottle from me.  Everything else seems to be going swimmingly - he's napping as I type this - don't think I totally neglect my son.  Nathan is also catching a few zzz's on his blanket.  I haven't showered yet today, but this is what Lindsay goes through every day.  She's doing a hell of a job with everything.

Gotta run, Nolan is farting, which means one thing (well, one of two things) - he's pooping and/or he's waking up.  Sorry to be so graphic but if you have kids, you understand.  If you don't, go fart in a shoebox.
