This is just funny. Many of you know her as the voice of Lois Griffin on Family Guy. Here she is doing Marlee Matlin calling Movie Phone and then singing Poker Face…

A reader of this website alerted me to the Food Network Humor site a few weeks back. Hilarious.
Admittedly, I watched this channel with some regularity back in the day. Now I might take a peek at a few episodes of Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives, but that’s about it. Most of the cooking on that channel = nonsense. For example, take a look at this cooking with kids crap.
For the record – I have actually had those “porcupine balls.” I think they were referred to as porcupine meat balls. Whatever they’re called, they taste awful. My mom is a fantastic cook, but those were terrible. Everything discussed in that blog post shows just how out of touch some at the Food Network are when it comes to cooking with kids. Hell, they’re out of touch period.
Sadly, this is the kind of propaganda that has spilled over into the work place. Many of my co-workers think that if a recipe is featured on Food Network and has all sorts of fancy ingredients, well, it MUST be good! Whatev (as a friend of mine would say). More often than not it’s awful.
I’m gonna go make some eggs, sausage, and toast.
I gave it a trial run last night and it definitely will get you. There are times where you go a few minutes without a drink, but there are also times when you just go at it constantly. During the first segment of episode one I went through 3/4 of a beer. By the end of that episode I was half done with beer #4. It just kept going from there…
What caused the most drinks? Cussing and the mentioning of greenhorn seemed to really be prevalent last night. Segments with cussing usually didn’t stop with one bleep; it typically followed up with 5-6 more in quick succession.
I think in the near future I will modify the rules as there are definitely too many. Also, shots have been replaced with four drinks. I thought better of the shot rules and figured that sticking to one type of drink would be much easier on the logistics.
From The Early Days Tour in 2005: Ides of March (concert intro) straight into Murders In The Rue Morgue:
I was fortunate enough to see them on this tour as a part of OzzFest 2005.
I was pondering a post about how the Yankees + $208 million = 2009 World Series, but I’m tired of thinking about that bought and paid for All-Star team. Paying that much doesn’t automatically guarantee a championship, but it does put you in a great position to win one year in and year out. Salary cap/salary minimum time!
Okay, next up is the SP situation. Remember how I said I was hoping to let it just die on the vine? It appears that it has. If I make it to this Sunday, it will have been two full weeks since I’ve heard from her. That will easily be the longest time we have gone without a single text since I met her. So once Sunday hits, I will officially close the book on that situation.
Ted the Roaster (as portrayed by Jim Norton):
Sometimes he just takes it a bit too far.
I saw some of this stuff online and decided to add to it and enhance it. The first annual DCDG will take place this weekend. Here are the “rules” so far:

Take a shot when

- A deckhand is fired
- Someone’s crab season comes to an end not due to an injury
- There is a power failure
- A chunk of ice lands on someone
Notes
In some cases, the drinks can really pile up. For example, if a boat has to head to Akutan Island for emergency repairs, not only would you take a shot for the Akutan Island run, you would also take two drinks for the repairs.
And now you can order some Alaska Red King Crab from the F/V Time Bandit. I think I noted in my ‘About’ section that I have never had crab – this would be a good way to do it, huh? A little pricey, though.
Here is the F/V Time Bandit’s official website.
Anyone want in on this? Crab, beer, and a Deadliest Catch marathon? We don’t stop until the crab and beer is gone.
Minnesota beat Alaska-Anchorage 5-1 on Friday (should have been 6-1 with a goal disallowed on a total BS non-review) and 4-1 on Sunday. They needed the offense heading into next weekend’s Border Battle in Madison.
