The Weekly "WHAT THE?" . . .

I’m going to try my best to be diligent and start a pretty random blurt coined the “WEEKLY WHAT THE?”

The WWT will be an observation that I had and decided to share. Can you feel the privilege radiating from your computer screen now? Just wait . . . you’re about to witness the first . . . WEEKLY WHAT THE???

January 28, 2008
WHAT THE?? You want to know something . . . for as long as I can remember, I’ve been aware that smoking is bad for you. Even when I used to pull almost a pack of sweet Newports a day, I still knew it was bad for me. No smoker is going to dispute that smoking might actually be progressing their health (rather regressing), and if they are, they’re in complete denial. Now just cause I “don’t smoke anymore” (unless Steve’s nearby), I don’t feel the need many 'righteous' do to arrogantly plug my nose or fake cough whenever I see someone light up . . . it’s their privilege – you’re not going to go tell some heifer to drop the Whopper are you? Whats the diff? OK OK, here’s my point – smoking is bad for you . . . so why is it, from my "expert observation", that the highest percentage of smokers in one vocation come from the medical field? Have you EVER driven by a hospital, emergency room or urgent care facility and NOT seen a nurse outside cranking a Marlborough into her pipe (sorry to say “her”, but seriously, it’s usually a dame out there). Every time I pass a medical joint I see Martha lightin up a Kool in her purple scrub-a-dubs. Ahhe sweet. Just an interesting reflection . . .

Rivers vs Manning (Eli)

Guess I'm rooting for the G-Men . . . at least they are repping the NFC East . . . what I can say is, I will be in anyone's corner that will knock that cute little smirk off Phillip's face. Wow, he sure is a tuff-guy. Paaallleeeeeeeeeease!!!!!! Hopefully he'll be in there long enough for Harrison to get roided up and pop in on a blitz. Apparently he has a tear in his tampon, I mean ACL. Speaking of roids, I think Merriman is 100%. Can't wait to see his saweet WWFesque dancing ability when the "super" Chargers are silenced. I'm no Patriots fan, but seriously, is there anyone likable on San Diego? I think the only reason LT gets a little whiny occasionally is cause he's surrounded by big-name imbeciles.

the Familia

Coming up on our first weekend with just the 3 of us. I’m not sure what we are going to do with ourselves? Maybe Amber will finally get around to cleaning the house . . . I mean, while she’s lounging between working fulltime and raising a stud-muffin. It sure was fun visiting with everyone. It was pretty tight here for a bit, Ma & Pop came up for New Years while Beaver & Lori were here, but we wouldn’t have had it any other way. Did my share of golfing, and ended up working in the backyard . . . Steve is a slave driver. He did most of the hard work, I was able to fill in where needed. We’re now getting approached by Design To Sell: Thimble Sized Yard Edition. I’m pretty much the bald version of Ty Pennington. Below is Steve (Beaver) NOT giving me a break.



My Poppa always said, “guests are like fish . . .”

ENUFF A'REDDY

I’m SO done with people congratulating athletes for performing into their 30s. Seriously? The latest is Brett Favre. I get it, you’re old(er). It would be one thing if you had a real job and had to fit being “fit” in . . . where you felt the same average stresses regular people feel. Maybe we don’t take the hits you do . . . BUT YOU EXERCISE FOR A LIVING!!! We wouldn’t congratulate a 90-year-old for being a shoe salesman? Why are we so pumped on “you” for playing football? Your life revolves around training, therefore your body has become the supreme template for your particular activity . . . you don’t see a novice busting a triathlon? Listen, I get that youth helps muscle alertness, recovery and ECT, but the freakin guy is 38 . . . palease. And what ever happened to “man-strength”? Shouldn’t he be tougher than everyone else on the field anyway? Cause he has man-strength?

I’m gonna be 30 in less than 6 months . . .
