Sunday Stuff, Cat Pics

I'm stuffed.  We went to Wilson's for lunch with my father in law.  Soon the USA takes on Canada in the men's hockey gold medal game.  And I found a few pics of our cat, Puddy, on the camera from a couple weeks ago.  She needs brushing, but she always needs brushing since she makes it such an ordeal when we do do it.  I hope your having a relaxing Sunday!

Faster Pussycat - The Power and the Glory...

Faster Pussycat has been back on my radar for a few years now.  Taime Downe (singer) is the only original member from their heyday in the late 80's to early 90's, but he brought the sleaze rock band back with 2006's 'The Power and the Glory Hole.'  A very strong album, I still play it often.  They've spent alot of time touring since, but haven't been here in Madison yet.  Last year I mentioned  that I would jump at the chance to see Ace Frehley again, then a couple months later, it happened! Fingers crossed!

Here's the best live version of the title track of that album that I've found.  If you can't tell it's nsfw by the title then just don't play it.

Pic Dump 11

Well, it's that time again..  A collection of pics that caught my eye recently for one reason or another.   Remember you can click on the pic to see the original size.  As always, discretion may be needed after the break.  

Now, to get us started:  Do you see the girl in back's ass?

If so, you better get your eyes checked - It's the girl with the camera's shoulder!

Many more after the break!  Have a nice weekend!

Gambling Chatrooms?

Chat Roulette is something I have heard referred to recently.  Then I began seeing videos of it.  The following video explains what it is and what you can expect.  Interesting, but its not something I see myself doing ever.

Edit: I saw pleaserobme.com on the news this morning.  I thought about posting about it a week ago but passed.  I guess I missed a scoop!

My snoWeek snow far... snow

Monday morning, snow on the car.  Not alot, just enough to blanket everything.  Not cold enough to really want to warm up the car but I did so I could clear snow off it a bit before I left.  Bonus:  It mostly melted during the day.  I used the broom to sweep the front steps.  All else was negligable, but keep in mind this is on top of a foot or more of standing snowcover in places.

Tuesday morning, snow on the car.  Only an inch or so and real light, fluffy and, it turns out, really slippery on the roadways.  I didn't have a problem in my SUV but I heard of all the slide-offs and accidents on the news before leaving and on the way to work.   A bit cooler out, so I warmed it up and cleared the snow off it about ten minutes before I left.  Bonus: It melted off, or blew off, the walk and driveway before I got home!

Wednesday morning, snow on the car.  Inch or so, same as the last two mornings.  A bit cooler yet,  low teens.  So I warmed it up and cleared the snow off it about ten minutes before I left, again.  Bonus:  Snow from this morning may have melted or blown away, but there is snow to clear yet... as soon as it stops snowing.  You didn't think it just snowed at night here, did you?
 
Tomorrow morning, snow on the car? From what I heard this morning, it sounds much the same but colder yet.  Five degrees.  Bonus:  I need to stop and get gas tomorrow.  Hmmph.

Its like an annoying 'Groundhog Day' or maybe living in a snow globe.  I hope it gets a bit warmer soon... I think I want to shave, for a change.

Big People Pooh

A group of kindergartners were trying very hard to become accustomed to the first grade. The biggest hurdle they faced was that the teacher insisted on NO baby talk! You need to use ‘Big People’ words,” she was always reminding them.


She asked John what he had done over the weekend?

“I went to visit my Nana.”

No, you went to visit your GRANDMOTHER. Use ‘Big People’ words!”

She then asked Mitchell what he had done.

“I took a ride on a choo-choo.”

She said “No, you took a ride on a TRAIN. You must remember to use ‘Big People’ words.”

She then asked little Alex what he had done? “I read a book,” he replied.

That’s WONDERFUL!” the teacher said. “What book did you read?”

Alex thought hard about it, then puffed out his chest with great pride, and said, “Winnie the SHIT”

Haven't you ever wondered...?   It would be interesting to see a video like this in an urban setting, but most of those wouldn't be so clear or pleasant.   I've watched this a couple times lately and decided I just had to post it.  I hope you enjoy the view too.

'Back' In Business

My back, my back, my back, oh my aching back.

Today I actually felt somewhat normal at work.  I was able to move about much more comfortably than I have in over a week and a half.  I would say I'm a cautious 90%.  Keep in mind my 100% is most peoples 85%.  If I remember correctly, after my surgery about 9 years ago I  was told I'm legally 15% disabled.  I'm not sure how that number is decided or who decides it.  (I should make a note to ask my doc next time.)

Tomorrow is TGIF!  We will be meeting friends shortly after work for drinks and a birthday celebration.  Happy Birthday Bridget (I hope that's how you spell it -I'm so ashamed)!  My wife and I get to check out another local tavern/club on the near east side of downtown.*  Our location now does seem to give us a unique opportunity to almost be more of a part of Madison, living on the outskirts just doesn't invite that feeling.   It's kinda nice to get out some...

Oh by the way this post will be posted tomorrow(Friday) about when I expect we'll be home.  Kind of a paranoid protection thing, I guess.  Maybe I've seen a PSA commercial recently?  

Go Badgers! -er, Great Win Badgers! (I hope/expect!)

---------
Edit Friday after work:
Well my back is still okay, no better than yesterday, though.  I think I will wear my brace while out this evening.
Badgers lost.  Not only lost but looked as bad as they've looked all season.  Big Ten Title hopes can probably be dismissed, but they'll recover.
Now I must look up google maps so I know where I'm going.  I'm learning a whole different part of the town that I have had to the last 20 years or so.
What an odd looking post this will be.  I must think things through a bit more sometimes (or less, as the case may be.)

Good Night.


 

*For that to make sense you have to know that downtown is on the isthmus, south and west to north and east. And is it downtown or uptown?  I think they are one and the same in our city.
