You still act like you’re in Freshman year

I love that the X Games are back because on the Bottom Line you get to see things like “Dave Mirra out of X Games due to liver laceration.”

See if this makes any sense. I really enjoy the X Games, yet I rarely ever watch. I think its likely because its on during the Summer, which occasionally means I could be busy and at night I’m likely watching the Phillies instead.

I still don’t believe someone died on an episode of Punky Brewster

This morning driving by the house that had the refrigerator in the front yard (I’m not sure why its still there) the doors have been removed! Now the children can resume play.

Question of the Day

Haven’t had one of these in a while. I’ve been holding on to this one because it comes compliments of Kathleen and she wasn’t on the list until a few days ago (and I’m not sure if she has logged in so Matt you should let her know I used her question.

What canceled TV show would you want back on the air? And let’s say time doesn’t matter, because obviously a good show from a few decades ago might not work because the cast is dead. I don’t want to rule any of those out.

First thought for me would be Ed and Arrested Development. Since I’m only asking for one I think I have to go with Ed because it was great on so many levels. You can (if you try) find other good comedies. Now nothing comes close to AD’s style but still, its Ed. Come on.

Today I wanted to talk about falling asleep in the shower, or shower sleeping as I like to call it. I’m not sure if this is just me. This is more likely to happen the more tired I am. While I’m in the shower I will just drift off sometimes into thought, sometimes just nothing. A few minutes might go by and I seem to come to and think “I’ve been in here way too long.” This is why my shower time tends to approach girl length. The one positive of shower sleeping is the occasional Shower Thought of the Day, which today was, “I wonder if anyone else falls asleep in the shower?”

I also had one more point about the good One Ring. I was thinking how its sort of a hat tip. When a friend’s team screws up you can’t wait to bust on them. The One Ring is actually being nice to them in a way since you are not verbally assaulting them. When something good happens to a friend’s team you really don’t want to make that congratulatory phone call. You are really not happy for them. I called Evan after the Gators won the tourney last year, but I was actually rooting for them to win. I watched the clinching game of the 95 World Series with him and cheered for the Indians the whole time. When the Braves won, I had to act like I was happy for him.

I can’t believe I didn’t think of this before, and should re-record the first show because of it. But if this girl of Evan’s is really a 9.4, what are the chances that her boyfriend is a Greek shipping heir?

On the way to work this morning someone had a refrigerator in the trash. And the doors were still on! Now maybe these were just dreams I had but I remember when I was younger all sorts of warning about not playing in refrigerators because you could get locked inside and die. So when throwing them out you were supposed to take the doors off. Was this just me? Help me out.
