Good marketing

I can always appreciate a funny sign. Especially when it leads to one of my favorite, yet obnoxious jokes.

"I like my women like my coffee..."

This is where your averages person would say something like, "hot and black, hot and brazilian, smooth and creamy" something like that.

My version?

I like my women like my coffee, ground up and in the freezer.

Spoon trouble

Covering a racquetball tournament most of the weekend, and while it sucks to not have a day off, at least I got a free lunch out of it.

Except, as you can see, they ran out of forks. I don't know if you've ever tried to eat pasta with a spoon, but it's not easy.

Slap your troubles away

This is my Slap Chop. In addition to being very handy for chopping things like onions or other veggies quickly, I would bet that it's the one thig I own that will very likely lead to me losing a finger.

But then again, who can resist this little ditty?

Never thought I'd see the day

I've been on this earth for a little more than 26 years, and I've never seen a 7-11 closed.

I'm not sure I want to live in a world where I can't get a gigantic burrito 24 hours a day.

Revenge of the Yogurt

I enjoy yogurt once and a while in the morning, usually with some berries and granola, its a delightful way to begin my day.

This morning, Monday, August 31, I wanted to grab some yogurt for the road, I went into the fridge and saw that my yogurt didn't expire until Sept. 9. I was golden.

Until I opened up my yogurt, and saw what is pictured in the second photo. Gross.

Am I jealous that my yogurt can grow a better beard than me? You better believe it.

You stay classy, Fairfax

Went out last night for a friend's birthday in spacious downtown Fairfax. They recently redid a large section of the downtown area, complete with a huge free parking garage.

Apparently its not that new, as some vagabonds decided to soil the walls and floor of the garage.

Something missing

Went to the movies last week, and this mural was painted on the wall.

Question: How do you have a mural of famous movie stars from throughout the past century and not have Steve McQueen? How?

Mixed apparel

Where am I? A sporting goods store perhaps? Maybe a place that specializes in baseball apparel?

Nope, I'm in Nationals Stadium, where for some reason, they sell shirts to other teams, particularly division rival teams. And you wonder why no one takes the Nationals seriously.

Fair play

(download)

Covered a county fair recently, and this ride was there. This ride used to haunt my nightmares when I was a young, fresh faced lad on the Ocean City Boardwalk.

They had it every year, and it always scared the hell out of me. It was called the Zipper. I remember riding it for the first time, and literaly having my mind blown as I was flipped upsidedown seven ways from Sunday.

A conundrum

Went to the Nationals game last night, and upon finishing an ice-cold Miller Lite, I was faced with a conundrum.

Nationals Stadium is famous for being a "green" stadium, whatever the hell that means. So they have recycling bins near each trash can. They are usually laid out in the format you see here.

Only question is: which one is the recycling bin? The one on the left has the small hole, which would be used for bottles and cups. But the one on the right is the only one that mentions recycling. So what to do?

I compromised. I threw by empties on the ground. Serves them right for making recycling so inconvenient.
