Bacon, I Want It NOW!



If you love bacon (Jerome!), you must check this out. Let's get together to make one. That way we can split it and have a 50% better chance of surviving the heart attacks!



Spent the day digging out from a snow storm. I'll have more to say on that later on.

Friends and Badgers, Packers

Yesterday was a lazy day. We slept in, it was 11:00 am when I got up! I haven't slept that late in ages. We did have a few people over for the Badger game late Saturday night. The game was in Hawaii so it had a 10:30 pm start. It was alot of fun! I'm glad the game was a blowout because I didn't pay a whole lot of attention to it.

Although more were invited it was the same 6 of us that got together for a game a couple months ago. Everyone seems to be more comfortable every time they come over - and they should! We had table and chairs set up in the back room for an overflow area that wasn't needed, and plenty of food and drink. I think we always over estimate that stuff. I hope everyone had a good time. It was a late start to the evening, so understandably it ended relatively early. Around the beginning of the 4th quarter. The game had long since been decided.

And tonight is the Green Bay Packers v the Baltimore Ravens on Monday Night Football! Last I heard it was Packers favored by 3. Sounds about right to me. Though they will make it the hard way most likely, I think the Pack will pull it out. GO PACK!

Here's a very good article today from ESPN Milwaukee on how Packer Mark Tauscher is enjoying his comeback. If you read it you'll see why its easy to like him. I wish I could be more easy going like that.

I deleted a couple spam comments today. I hate to do it, but if more start showing up I will have to add that security box to comments. You would just have to type a few letters that you see. It keeps out automated spam comments.

This morning there was enough snow for me to try out my new shovel. And according to the weatherman I'll get to use my new snowblower tomorrow night and Wednesday morning.

Yippee.

Pic Dump 4

I just keep finding odd and funny stuff and I like posting the pics that catch my eye. So I think Pic Dump will continue as a feature here on Scoakatsblog. I see it as a regular feature of 10 pics that have caught my eye for one reason or another. As always, viewer discretion advised.



Remember to click on the pic to make it bigger. (double click on videos to watch them at youtube.)

W.A.S.P. Recently

I don't think I've ever posted a W.A.S.P. video yet. Since I'm having a couple drinks watching some of their latest posted, I thought I'd share. This is not a brand new song, but a good one. It's not even the complete song, but the sound is very good! Try it, you might like it! If not - tough, my blog. ;)



Edit: a bit later
I can't forget CKY. I've also been enjoying their music alot lately. Here's a recent one, and naturally, another band I like is playing overseas. *sigh*



The whiskey is tasting good, but my wife is not happy with me tonight and we are entertaining tomorrow night. I haven't wanted to be grumpy but sometimes it happens.

Excuse me, but DUH!

When they say 'hampered in its original aim', it means they couldn't find -any- who have not partaken for a control group.

You'll understand if you read the article, this news story is adult oriented - warning.

I've heard more detailed accounts so I could search for and find one of those to post, but if you're that interested, you know how to use google.

No further comment except to remind you that someone got a lot of grant money for this study. I don't care what country it originated in, waste is global.

Hello, just thoughts

Hello. I've not much to say, but let me start typing and we'll see what happens.

I'm still looking for a name for my new kitty. I know at least one of my nieces and nephews enjoyed the fish. I was hoping maybe mom or dad could get them to give me some ideas? Maybe some nominations then a poll so they can vote for their name? I'm open to suggestions from anyone, I have only one so far!

Speaking of, there have been times I wanted to show off the nieces and nephews in pics here, but I'm afraid my sibs would say no. Just a special occasion type of thing. I was tempted when I got halloween pics but I was too chicken to ask. K and K?

My new snow thrower arrived Monday. When I first looked online, I saw one I liked pretty quickly. Then I decided I had better do some more research, so I did. I finally decided on that same snow thrower, just a size up enginewise. I ordered it through searsdotcom. I hate winter.

I've also added a buzzfeeddotcom widget on the right. That's where I come across many virals, some reposted here. I like the amount of posts I have on my front page, and I still usually have alot of room in the right column at the bottom of the page, so I may as well do something with it. As I see it, why not, but as always my views are subject to change. I've been thinking of a new template as well, but I should learn more first. It'll turn out kinda like the snow thrower thing probably.

The city assessor stopped by today. We expect a certain amount of taxes since we're right in Madison. Any closer and we'd be on the isthmus it seems. We'll see what comes of it.

That's it for now, time for dinner. Good night!

Edit: Also the youtube links at the bottom seem to be acting up. I'll get to that soon.
