12 Of 12: Chris and Mike Edition
Monday: March 12, 2007 - 12 Of 12: Chris and Mike Edition
As inspired by the Untitled Chad Darnell Project.

2:30 am: Chris and I have finished our wine for the night and we are awaiting the return of our significant others. The contrast was pretty poor because of the lack of the light so I took the liberty of adjusting the contrast so you could see the clock through the wine glasses.

11:00am: I finally woke up and let the dogs out. They took the liberty of finding their own breakfast (acorns) and bringing all of the shells inside of my freshly-vacuumed carpet.

1:30pm: Time for Gordo's. This is the inside of my El Gordo. You call those little nuggets of meat bacon? Come on! We learned that the main guy that runs it is some sort of sex pervert and in jail for having a bunch of lewd, underage pictures. Just what I want to be thinking about while they're making my food.

3:00pm: Chris, Kevin and Michael. You might notice I already used this picture once a few days ago but with Kevin photoshopped out. Sorry buddy! You probably can't tell from this picture but Kevin's got biceps so big they have their own biceps. And just look at those pearly whites.

3:30pm: So Chris and I are going to SBUX and we get stuck behind this fire truck. Turns out this car "accidentally" drove forward instead of reverse, went over the Bank of America embankment (raised) and came to rest atop this other car. Fortunately no one was hurt and it was right outside where we were sitting. The guy who didn't know how to operate his transmission told a terrible lie saying that some other phantom car had rammed him from the SBUX lot (???), his car flew up in the air and landed on the other car. Whoa dude. That's enough excitement for one iced venti vanilla latte.

4:45pm: Nothing like a little dog nap in the middle of an exciting day.

6:15pm: Here's me cooking three packages of Japanese Chicken. Remind me not to wear that shirt again; it looks so emo. And that reminds me of a joke: I wish my lawn were emo so it would cut itself.

8:00pm: We are very excited to be going to Leon Pub.

10:45pm: Sorry to wake you up pup but it's time to play Apples to Apples (again).

12:15am: You can't tell from this stunning overhead shot but the coffee table is actually off the ground because Michael and I had so many victory cards. I'm going to have to say that being inside the sun is the most uncomfortable. Inside The Sun. -Jimmy

1:30am: It's late but who cares. I'm about to play by The Common Loon card for the word "Ordinary". Chris correctly judged it to be the winner. Sorry Heather, Festering Wounds was just not appropriate.

2:30am: With all of the rooms, beds and couches booked at the inn poor Chompy has to sleep on the floor. Man, that picture is funny.

BONUS: Our guests of honor.

09-07-2009: I'll start with the good news: my death from the swine flu is no longer imminent. Now, onto the bad news.
WHERE THE HELL WAS FSU'S DEFENSE?! *I* could have been playing cornerback last night. I can easily ignore receivers as the blow past me or trip on my own two feet as a RUNNING BACK shoots past me for a catch in the end zone. Uggggggggh. On the bright side, the offense looked pretty good--at least Christian Ponder and the vaunted offensive line. The running game looked anemic when Jermaine was in there but his backup looked like a punisher. The fact our receivers c(w)ouldn't catch the ball made life rough. Fortson looked like the only guy who actually was willing to take one for the team and try to catch it, although Richard Goodman's catch on the two-point conversion ended with him getting blasted.
Anyway, where was the bloodthirsty FSU defense? Who were these cowards playing constant zone coverage? It doesn't take a PS2 NCAA Football expert very long to realize there's a time and a place for zone but if you want to win you need to MAN UP. Granted, the man coverage, when "utilized", made the secondary look absolutely stupid, with their coverage at least five yards behind the Miami receivers.
Whatever, we'll be good next year.09-07-2008: It looks like my vice-like grip over NCAA Pick 'Em is officially over. After tweaking "the algorithm" I still finished near the bottom of the picks because I clearly overweighed the section dedicated to "do they like to get upset?". The numbers correctly picked the ECU upset of WV but unfortunately they also picked three more upsets and, knowing that no more than three teams ever get upset in a week, I released WV out of a personal affinity towards the school. I also, until the game started, thought USM was in fact Mississippi State which they are clearly not. Oops.
I went out to Virginia to watch the FSU game with Kathy & Co. The bar had a lot of FSU fans but none that were particularly into the game. It didn't help that there was over two hours in combined rain delays. FSU looked good but I think anyone would look good against Western Carolina. They're not East Carolina, that's for sure. Catamounts, for the record, are mountain lions. They are not horses despite containing the word "mount". We'll know for sure how good FSU is when vaunted Chattanooga rolls into town next week.
I took the day off blogging but only because I was thinking of you.09-07-2006: Although not as gratifying as some wins in the past, I was able to fend off tchris and jamie
in a little three-way poker last night. At different points in the night we all had huge chip leads and somehow blew them. We're all big bettors so it was a lot of fun despite the low number of people.
I really need a new computer. Mine shuts off after about five minutes of use due to overheating and I still have not been able to find the right replacement fan. I'm hoping by the week after my birthday to have enough money to buy the new one from Dell, even though they won't let me get it without the video card. I talked to their retarded sales/tech guy and asked them simply if they could not charge/install a video card. They do not have dual-monitor options and I wasn't ordering any monitors so I didn't need the card. He replied that they could not and I was out of luck. I replied by asking him if the computers
were really built by hand like they say in the commercials. He said yes. I then asked if they guy installing it could just "leave out" the video card (I'd be throwing it out the day I got it) and have the person hand-writing my bill leave off the cost of it. He said no. Oh well.
