Speed on Cheetah
The Sunday before last (December 21, 2008), my cousin Lee and his wife Lianne were over at our apartment for a bit of a game night. The game of choice is a particular favorite of Lindsey’s, and, after that night, a particular favorite of mine as well. The game we played is called Loaded Questions (http://www.loadedquestions.com/loadedquestions.html), a question and answer style board game....[Read More]
2008 – My year in review
Today is the last day in 2008 and boy what a year this has been. The world has seen many changes, the United States has gone to hell in a handbasket, and people from all different backgrounds are saying “enough!” My 2008 wasn’t as dramatic but it had it’s fair share of highs and lows. Since this blog is fairly new, I figure I can let you all get to know me a little bit bett...[Read More]
Merry Chrismeh!
No, this is not some cute way to wish you a Merry Christmas by mixing my name and the site name. Christmas was four days ago, anyway. However, I find myself in a situation where I am able to use this pun as of very recently (this afternoon, to be more precise), and I would be remiss in letting the opportunity pass by. Sorry, I seem to be starting the story in medias res. Allow me to start from ...[Read More]
Recycling is for Suckers
I know, not a very popular opinion, but I do have my reasons, which I will explain. Over the past few months, Lindsey and I have been gathering large quantities of cardboard boxes, breaking them down, and storing them for a big recycling run to make some extra money. After we moved (two weeks ago today), we decided to start the recycling run today with our moving boxes (after a foiled attempt on...[Read More]
Frosty – the Alaskan threat
So I came across the “Weird News” section of msnbc.com and laughter ensued. My first laugh was courtesy of a man being arrested for performing archaic dentistry out of his apartment. The real chuckler came from the great state of Alaska. In Anchorage, there is a rather large snowman dubbed Snowzilla. He is an enormous 25 feet tall and comes with all of the traditional trimmings. Snowzi...[Read More]
Cheating? I think not.
Sweetie, you are unequivocally, undeniably, and unbelievably full of shit. Internet friends, allow me to enlighten you as to Lindsey’s definition of “cheating” at Trivial Pursuit. Verbally commanding the game to provide me with a particular dice roll (and, interestingly enough, the game providing me with the requested dice roll more often than not) is the apex of my cheating way...[Read More]
Trivial Pursuit?
After jamming to Guitar Hero: World Tour and loving how my throat hurt after doing my best rendition of Pat Benetar’s “Heartbreaker,” the gang and I decided to put Trivial Pursuit in my XBOX. I know some of you might be thinking that a board game played on a console must suck, and those thoughts would be correct. Chris was blatantly cheating, although he would say otherwise, and ...[Read More]
World of Men?
So I’m sitting on the couch with my laptop, Lindsey, and Lianne (my cousin’s wife; cousin-in-law?) playing Guitar Hero: World Tour, when Lindsey decides to fire up Firefox (no pun intended) and load up the World of Meh! Unfortunately, or rather, fortunately, her finger slipped near the end, and she managed to navigate not to the World of Meh, but the World of Men (a rather lovely site...[Read More]
First!
Hi there! My name, as you could probably tell from my username, is Chris. My co-conspirator in this venture is my lovely soon-to-be wife, Lindsey. If you are reading this while it is still relevant as the first post of this new site, then it is our pleasure to inform you that, if you would be so kind as to check back regularly, you will be treated to a great deal of poignant commentary on societ...[Read More]
