When I was a kid, they used to play this video on Teletunes.

I remember once, I was sick and in bed and watching and this video came on.

I was too ill to get up and change the channel [no remote], so I lie there, feeling like shite, and this vid didn't help.

In fact in made me feel worse.

Like I wanted to hurl.

And it gave me a total migraine.

Why I Shouldn't Be Allowed To Visit Thrift Stores

Recently I had to drop off some clothes at the local charity shop and even though I knew better, I had to browse through the old vinyl.

You readers know I am a big music person, so I like to peruse the discarded libraries of people's past tastes, to find something weird or unique.

Plus, top that with them being dirt cheap, I can easily develop a vinyl problem.

So this time while browsing the shelves, in amidst an obscene amount of 90's hip hop, was this little gem.

'How retarded', I thought.

And I admit I even like disco.

But for a kids' album?

I had to check it out.

I purchase it and head home.

I didn't have my turntable out, so I had to search my storage space for it.

Well, that turned in to an ordeal.

Then I had to find the audio cables and grounding wire because, of course, they weren't with the turntable.

Then I realized that I could only listen to it on my Denon receiver.

While I was doing this I figured I could finally get around to digitizing all my vinyl to keep on file, so I might as well hook it all up to my computer.

The problem with that is now I had no audio system for the television in my bedroom.

Thanks to getting my tax refunds recently, I figured 'what the heck', and decided to go out the next day and get a new system.

Sounds simple enough, so I figured Big Red should have something doable.

No dice.

Checked three Big Reds and they either only had boomboxes and iPod bays, or really cheap and crappy theater systems.

Now I could have easily gone to Best Buy, or Circuit City, but I have heard way too many horror stories about both places, so I figured good old standby, Sears, should have something.

Long story short [too late], I found a decent JVC system and brought it home.

Man, was that thing heavy.

The subwoofer must weigh at least 75 pounds by itself.

Anywho, I get that all set up to the bedroom TV, and proceed to set up the Denon tuner to my computer.

Took about two hours total.

So I finally throw Disco MM on the platter, and boy was I right: it was super-cheezey.

Ha ha.

Honestly, who was the target market for this?

Did kids really want a Disco MM album?

I guess so.

Ack.

Oh man, it's bad.

For instance, check this out.

Ha ha.

In addition to Disco MM, I also purchase some other cheezey music that I will post about later.

Austin Man Paints Himself Into Corner, Trapped for 24 Hours

'Austin, TX - An elderly man painted himself into a corner of his North Austin home and was trapped there for more than 24 hours as the paint dried.

The story unfolded in the Wells Branch area of North Austin on Saturday. The man, who lives alone, was renovating his one-story home and had been painting several rooms of the house. His near-fatal mistake took place in a spare bedroom of the old house, where he mistakenly began painting the wood floors from the doorway inward — as opposed to working toward the door.

By the time he realized the error, he had painted himself into the rear corner of the bedroom.

“I was horrified when I turned around,” said 80-year-old Bart Billings. “I got caught up in my work and didn’t even think about where I was painting. I turned around and saw that I was trapped, and my heart just sank.”

To make matters worse, Billings had applied two coats of paint and a coat of over-sealer to the wood floors, which made the drying process take longer than usual.

“I thought I was done for,” said Billings. “My heart medication was in the other room, not even fifteen feet away, but I couldn’t get to it because of the paint.”

After being trapped in the room for nearly 24 hours, Billings caught a lucky break. His next-door neighbor went to a garden shed in his backyard that was near the window of the room where Billings was trapped. By shouting and knocking on the window, Billings was able to get the attention of his neighbor, who called the police.

Twenty minutes later, the fire department was able to extricate Billings from the painted room by using a hoist and harness system to lift him over the still-drying paint.

Billings was taken to Seton Hospital in North Austin where he was found to be dehydrated but otherwise in good health. He was released within an hour.

Billings says he will continue refurbishing the floors in his home, but he will be more careful to start in the back and work toward the door.'

Weird Problem

The last few weeks I have had this problem where my nip-nips get hard.... a lot.

It's not triggered by anything, just happens out of nowhere.

It's actually kinda painful at times.

Death and Taxes

Claystation asked me a tax question, and it made me think of something my tax prep person mentioned, but I didn't clarify.

Can you claim bus passes and car rentals for work as deductions?

Since I don't own a car, I have to mass transit it.

Or rent a car if it's out in the boonies [we have training in campus way down in South Suburbia].

Anyone have any accounting/financial adviser friends?

There has to be some sort of tax break on that, right?

I crunched the numbers and I pay almost 2 grand a year just to get to work!

That's it!

So, I have been having this recurring dream that usually involved me in some business situation [nightclub, restaurant, hotel] where I am in charge of things and no matter how much I try and keep everything tidy, something or something comes along that is out of place and has to be addressed.

It was actually kind of stressful and I wondered what was possibly generating this dream out of my sub-conscious.

Well, this morning while garnering the effort to get out from the covers, I had a breakthrough.

Part of my job function is to monitor an email inbox and distribute it to the right people or group.

If the issue doesn't have an issue, than I take ownership of it to resolve/research.

Well, now that we are getting back in to Spring/Summer, a lot of projects are beginning and thus our workload has increased.

I realized that these dreams were pouring over from the fact that much like a postal worker, when it gets busy at work, and I have resolved/identified everything that has come in, a whole big pile of shite comes in again.

I'm one of those people whose work ethic is such that I can't leave for the day without everything resolved.

I like to start with a fresh start in the mornings.

So the steady, yet inconsistent bursts of work really harshes my melon.

And that carried over to my dreams.

Which I totally think are our body's/brain's way of dealing with stress so we don't freak out.

Or go Postal.

Who invented sausage?

'Sausage is a logical outcome of efficient butchery. Sausage-makers put to use meat and animal parts that are edible and nutritious, but not particularly appealing, such as scraps, organ meats, blood, and fat, and that allow the preservation of meat that can not be consumed immediately. These were typically salted and stuffed into a tubular casing made from the cleaned intestine of the animal producing the characteristic cylindrical shape. Hence, sausages, puddings and salami are amongst the oldest of prepared foods, whether cooked and eaten immediately or dried to varying degrees.


It is often assumed that sausages were invented by Sumerians in what is Iraq today, around 3000 BC. Chinese sausage làcháng (臘腸/腊肠), which consisted of goat and lamb meat, was first mentioned in 589 BC. Homer, the poet of Ancient Greece, mentioned a kind of blood sausage in the Odyssey (book 20, verse 25), and Epicharmus (ca. 550 BC – ca. 460 BC) wrote a comedy titled The Sausage. Evidence suggests that sausages were already popular both among the ancient Greeks and Romans, and most likely with the non-literate tribes occupying the larger part of Europe.

During the reign of the Roman emperor Nero, sausages were associated with the Lupercalia festival. The early Catholic Church outlawed the Lupercalia Festival and made eating sausage a sin. For this reason, the Roman emperor Constantine banned the eating of sausages. Early in the 10th century in the Byzantine Empire, Leo VI the Wise outlawed the production of blood sausages following cases of food poisoning.

Traditionally, sausage casings were made of the cleaned intestines (or stomachs in the case of haggis and other traditional puddings) of animals. Today, however, natural casings are often replaced by collagen, cellulose or even plastic casings, especially in the case of industrially manufactured sausages. Additionally, luncheon meat (such as Spam) and sausage meat are now available without casings in tins and jars.

The most basic sausage consists of meat cut into pieces or ground and filled into a casing such as an animal intestine. The meat may be from any animal, but traditionally is pork, beef or veal. The meat/fat ratio is dependent upon the style and producer, but in the United States, fat content is legally limited to a maximum of 30%, 35% or 50%, by weight, depending on the style. The USDA defines the content for various sausages and generally prohibits fillers and extenders.[1] Most traditional styles of sausage from Europe and Asia use no bread-based filler and are 100% meat and fat (excluding salt and other flavorings, such as herbs).[2] In the UK and other countries with English cooking traditions, bread and starch-based fillers account for up to 25% of ingredients. The filler used in many sausages helps them to keep their shape as they are cooked. As the meat contracts in the heat so the filler expands.

The word sausage is derived from Old French saussiche, from the Latin word salsus, meaning salted.'

If this is the case, how come I haven't come across an Chinese/Asian sausages in contemporary cuisine?

'Sally was driving home from one of her business trips in Northern Arizona when she saw an elderly Navajo woman walking on the side of the road.

As the trip was a long and quiet one, she stopped the car and asked the Navajo woman if she would like a ride.

With a silent nod of thanks, the woman got into the car

Resuming the journey, Sally tried in vain to make a bit of small talk with the Navajo woman. The old woman just sat silently, looking intently at everything she saw, studying every little detail, until she noticed a brown bag on the seat next to Sally.

"What in bag?" asked the old woman.

Sally looked down at the brown bag and said, "It's a bottle of wine. I got it for my husband."

The Navajo woman was silent for another moment or two.

Then speaking with the quiet wisdom of an elder, she said:

"Good trade....."'

'Slim'

This guy was on my bus home last night.

It amazes me how people really let themselves go.

Sometimes I wonder if they have touched-in-the-head-issues.

The worst part?

He reeked.

I could smell his B.O. wafting over in my direction whenever the bus driver opened the front door to board new passengers.

It was so bad, I though about moving back further in the bus, or even getting off early and just walk the rest of the way.

I don't know if you can tell from the pic, but his belly actually over-flowed into a cascading bulbous flap over the edge of the seat, and past his knees.

Which is where I saw something just as, if not more, grody.

His legs.

I don't know if he has diabetes because of his obviously poor health, or gout, but let me tell you, I have seen better skin on zombies.

His legs were fish-belly white but decorated with a bevy of crimson-red open sores, and heliotrope scars.

Ack.

Ick.

It's making my skin crawl again just thinking about it.

I wanted to feel sorry for him, but I can't.

I have tried to write out why I can't, but each time I do, it sounds pithy.

So I'll just drop it.

But, suffice it to say, if I get any where over 5 pounds over my target weight, I am working my arse off [literally] to get back down to where I want to be.

Eventually, I had to go over to a friend's house to use her dad's tool-shop.

Well, she was also in my class and insisted on playing this whole CD over and over.

And every time in the car if we went out.

Somehow it conditioned my sub-conscious, in that this song gets associated with frustration and annoyance.

And now when I hear it, I am instantly taken back and feel 'icky' all over again.

Yay.

Marilyn Monroe because I would love to dish the gossip and find out what really went on with her life. This is assuming she teleports to the present day for the special dinner.


2. Set the table for your dinner. What would you eat? Would it be in a home or at a restaurant? And what would you wear? Feel free to elaborate on the details.

It would be out at Zengo.

Everything on the menu.

For fun I'd sport a tux, and she of course would be glammed out.

Kimono Kisses would be drank throughout.

Yum!


3. List five thoughtful questions you would ask this person during dinner.

1. So what really went on with John F. Kennedy?

2. Robert Kennedy?

3. What was it like to work with Montgomery Clift? Would she have done him if he hadn't [wasn't?] a big 'mo?

4. Did you realize what an impact you would have on pop culture and history?

5. What rumors are/aren't true about her and her life?

Bonus questions:

What was being married to Joe Dimaggio like?

Was he an Italian Stallion?

Can I videotape the dinner date for proof?

4. When all is said and done, select bloggers to pass this Meme along to. Link back to Lazy Eye Theatre, so that people know the mastermind behind this Meme.

Accident ruins 800-pound man's date

'MEXICO CITY (AP) - When Manuel Uribe went out on a date, he made all the necessary arrangements: a forklift to carry him out of the house and a flatbed tow truck big enough to haul the formerly half-ton man and his bed to a party.

However, even the open road wasn't big enough to handle Uribe's dream of celebrating a budding romance and his success in losing about 440 pounds.

Uribe was halfway to a picnic near his Monterrey-area home on Sunday when one of the posts holding a sun-shielding tarp over his bed hit an overpass.

Uribe's blood pressure dropped so much his doctors advised him not to go on and the celebration - being documented by about two dozen photographers and reporters from around the world - was cancelled.

"We were going to celebrate that I've been losing weight for two years and that it was my girlfriend's birthday," Uribe said in a telephone interview. "The saddest part was that I couldn't fulfill my dream of taking my girlfriend out to eat."

Uribe says that after losing weight on a high-protein diet he started two years ago, he's down to about 800 pounds.

Last year, Uribe left his house for the first time in five years. Six people pushed his iron bed on wheels out to the street as a mariachi band played and a crowd gathered to see the man who once weighed 1,235 pounds).

At the time, the 42-year-old mechanic rode through the streets of his native San Nicolas de los Garza to enjoy the sun and wave to neighbors.

Uribe weighed more than 250 pounds as an adolescent, and he just kept growing.

Since the summer of 2002, Uribe has been bedridden, relying on his mother and friends to feed and clean him. He drew worldwide attention when he pleaded for help on national television in January 2006.

Uribe says despite the setback, he still hopes to go out with his girlfriend on June 11, when he will turn 43.

"We'll just have to plan it better," he said.'
