Shoe-In

How cool is this.. You can design your own Nike shoes and it not too unreasonably expensive… Just go to http://www.nikeid.com/ and choose from several different styles, colors and options… Right down to your name.

If I told you how I found this, I would have to surrender my man card.

Sign from Above

The great prognosticator Pat Robertson has gotten a sign from God again… His prognostications are typically as profound as a Ground Hog… How do people support this freak……


In what has become an annual tradition of prognostications,
religious broadcaster Pat Robertson said Tuesday God has told him that a terrorist attack on the United States would result in "mass killing" late in 2007.

"I'm not necessarily saying it's going to be nuclear," he said during his news-and-talk television show "The 700 Club" on the Christian Broadcasting Network. "The Lord didn't say nuclear. But I do believe it will be something like that."

Robertson said God told him during a recent prayer retreat that major cities and possibly millions of people will be affected by the attack, which should take place sometime after September.

Robertson said God also told him that the U.S. only feigns friendship with Israel and that U.S. policies are pushing Israel toward "national suicide."

Robertson suggested in January 2006 that God punished then-Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon with a stroke for ceding Israeli-controlled land to the Palestinians.

The broadcaster predicted in January 2004 that President Bush would easily win re-election. Bush won 51 percent of the vote that fall, beating Democratic Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts.
In 2005, Robertson predicted that Bush would have victory after victory in his second term. He said Social Security reform proposals would be approved and Bush would nominate conservative judges to federal courts.

Lawmakers confirmed Bush's 2005 nominations of John Roberts and Samuel Alito to the Supreme Court. But the president's Social Security initiative was stalled.

"I have a relatively good track record," he said. "Sometimes I miss."

In May, Robertson said God told him that storms and possibly a tsunami were to crash into America's coastline in 2006. Even though the U.S. was not hit with a tsunami, Robertson on Tuesday cited last spring's heavy rains and flooding in New England as partly fulfilling the prediction.

Dashing Through the Snow..

What have I been up to? Well, I got some riding in, about 170 quick miles, on December 23rd in Watersmeet, MI. They had about the only snow east of Denver.. Big plans are in the works to go back at the end of January.

Try this for some
stats… 150 HP and it only weights 500 lbs… SNAP.. Ya, no baby seat on this ride either….

Go
Nimrods!!!

Blog Break is Over

I thought it was important to write a little blurb to let many of you know that Amy and I are OK… Believe it or not I’ve been getting phone calls!!!

I’ve just been a little busy with traveling to and from Dallas. Being a trophy wife tends to take a little time out of my blog schedule.

Last weekend, Dallas started on Thursday night so I could make Edwards Fellowship Luncheon on Friday at Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children. Which was pretty cool and I got to meet many of the people that Amy works with. That evening we got
luxury box tickets for the Dallas Stars game. They were free until Amy’s wallet got stolen and I spent the rest of the evening canceling credit cards.

Saturday, Amy and I went to a
local theater to watch A Christmas Carol. Did a little shopping and got some Sushi.

Sunday, Amy ran a leg in the
White Rock Marathon, which was about 5 or 6 miles. She didn’t set any records but she did it. That was followed by a party at Texas Scottish Rites Tent..

As we move into winter I will probably blog less.. Sorry, but I really like winter activates.

Seymour-Pusey


One of the biggest stories in the NFL football this year is the success of the Dallas Cowboys QB Tony Romo. Tony was undrafted and signed on as a free agent with Dallas 4 years ago and has gotten the Cowboys back to one of the top teams in the NFC. Truly a dream come true for a player from a small D1 school, Eastern Illinois University

But it’s quite possible that Tony isn’t the flyest playa from EIU… Nope, not a chance!!! That title would have to go to
Lucious Pusey… Yep, that’s the dudes name.. Well, was his name. Now he goes by Lucius Seymour. Maybe he dropped the hymen?

I guess he’s too good for the name his mama gave him. I’m sure his father was always very fond of Lucious Pusey..

And props to Rudi....

Oh' Deer

A Wisconsin man who argued that he could not be prosecuted for having sex with a deer because the animal was dead at the time, was dealt a legal setback when a judge rejected a motion seeking dismissal of a criminal charge against him. As a result of Circuit Court Judge Michael Lucci's ruling, defendant Bryan James Hathaway, 20, will have to stand trial for his alleged assault last month of the deer carcass. In his ruling (a copy of which you'll find linked below), Lucci denied a November 7 motion filed by Hathaway's lawyer, Fredric Anderson, which argued that the deer ceased being an animal upon its death (Hathaway, pictured at right, allegedly found the carcass in a roadside ditch). Anderson contended that a charge of sexual gratification with an animal could not be sustained because "the term 'animal' refers to a living organism, not a carcass." Lucci, however, noted that "most people understand that an animal does not necessarily cease being or qualifying as an animal or even being referred to as an animal once it's dead." He added that the "primary focus" of Wisconsin's criminal statute dealing with crimes against sexual morality is on "human behavior and on protecting sexual morality in the community, and not necessarily on animal protection."

Wanted!!!

Do you ever Google yourself? Well, I do. Apparently I’m wanted in Las Vegas for sex crimes.. Ya, I did get a little too much sun that day..

Remember, I look like Dave Chappelle…..

Mini-Tree

Amy and I went out with my mom the day after Thanksgiving and scored this 4" pre-lit tree in the mighty Wal-Mart forest... And Rudi, no wise cracks.. this is our Dallas tree.. I fully intend on getting a real tree for our home in Minnesota... In fact, I think the Blincoln will come in handy for that task...

UP Holiday

Today is opening day of firearm deer season in Michigan. This “UP Holiday”, as posted by the Gladstone Area School District, includes all of the schools closing and most people having the day off work… Only in the UP…. This is one of the things I miss about home…

Here’s a couple of hunting tips to keep in mind..

#1. When you get to your blind before dawn open all 12 of your beers at one time as to not scare the deers later by crack'n them open as your drink'n them..

#2. When you get to your blind after lunch open all 12 of your beers at one time as to not scare the deers later by crack'n them open as your drink'n them..

Mini-Blincoln

Today UPS brought me this nice little thank you surprise from my friends at Lincoln.

I bet the
Playa Haters never got one of these little beauties from the used car dealer that sold them their fly rides… FLY 1 and FLY2.. Ya, I hope the CARFAX doesn’t get’ya…

Stick-Man

I have a concern that has been growing about my friend Nick, and it has to do with him not wearing a shirt, when he should be. In this photo Nick is racking leaves in Dayton, OH last week. It’s not like it was so hot that he had to take it off, or that he needed some sun because his “tan” was fading..

I don’t get it….. And I don’t get why he sends these photo’s to me….

Winter Wonderland

Today we got the first big snow storm of the year, by noon we had about 5 inches… I do love the snow and look forward to winter. Since we have moved to Minnesota winters have been pretty weak, but maybe this year will be different.

And, today was the first chance I had to use the truck (aka.. da' Blincoln: Bis Ass Lincoln) on snowy roads.. Very nice.. The Focus was a good snow car but didn’t have the (hey stay in your lane) road presence that an over 5,000lb. truck demands.. Safety first... :)

Added bonus.. I will be flying out the evening to Dallas (75 degrees) for a weekend with Amy.. Yep, best of both worlds..

Nicotini, Soaked Not Smoked

This drink is sure to calm your nerves. The nicotini burst upon the scene last summer to offset the smoking ban in restaurants all over the country. A liquid cigarette, this drink comes complete with all the nicotine rush and tobacco aftertaste found in an entire pack of Camels. The effect is achieved by soaking tobacco leaves in vodka overnight and deadening the tobacco juice’s harshness by adding five different liqueurs.

What does all this mean to the marketing and advertising world? Well, perhaps an entirely new pitch altogether. Are we about to market Marlboro Manhattans, Camel Chardonnays? How about Rum and Tangueray Tarletons, whose drinkers would rather drink than fight and menthol Mint Juleps and Winston Wallbangers? If so, will we go one step further and capture filtered or unfiltered or low and high tar drinks as well? I wonder what would happen if you mixed in a little Red Bull, probably a heart-attack.

With winter coming this would be a good idea for the Westfire.......

Drug Bust?



I guess this wasn’t a drug bust, but rather a drug dong… If you missed it (I don’t know how you could) but check out the box in the video..

And I was shocked by the color..

Hot or Not for Pets?

You won’t believe this.. There is actually a HOT OR NOT for pets… How sick is that?

Well,
Rudi thought it would be a great idea to put his dog Obie on it…

The word Bestiality comes to mind……

How Smart Is Your Right Foot?

This is so funny that it will boggle your mind. And you will keep trying it at least 50 more times to see if you can outsmart your foot. But you can't!!!

1. While sitting at your desk, lift your right foot off the floor and make clockwise circles with it.

2. Now, while doing this, draw the number "6" in the air with your right hand. Your foot will change direction!!!

I told you so... And there is nothing you can do about it ..pass this on to your friends...

And thank you to Scott Stade for this valuable information... I guess when you stay home and don’t participate in the last 2 scavenger hunts, you’ll have time to sit around and try these things out… The bright side is that cardboard classics will be coming up in a couple of months…. Ooooo the UP, fun…. And the outhouse races in Trenary..
