She Can't Be That Dumb
Sure, maybe Snozzi or snoozi or what ever her name is, is pulling down the IQ of humanity, I get it, but come on give her some credit, thats two beers tipped upside down into a margherita, thats pretty damn innovative if you ask me. So, while she may be the poster girl for trailer trash/stupidty and ignorance, the first chance I get this summer Im tipping two Alexander Keith's Pale Ales into a margherita this summer, thats just awesome.
And I got a dollar saying no one can list everyone on the left without cheating.

Damn That Hurt
We have all done it, out shoveling snow along the sidewalk, shovel hits a crack and you take the butt end of the shovel in the midsection or worse.
Today it was worse and I don't admit to it but my already painful neck, shoulders and back are screaming at me right now.
I was out shoveling today after I got home from work and was 90% done and decided to shovel the front sidewalk. I lined up for that one last shovel full and threw my shoulders/weight into it a little because it was going to be a big scoop and WHAM that shovel hit the lip of the curb at the end of the sidewalk and it sent shockwaves down my left shoulder, through my neck and down my spine and my whole right side right now feels like someone punched me in the ribs about four times.
So, just a warning, when out shoveling, watch for cracks/lips in the sidewalk that fuckin hurts.

Ditch the Valet
I went to the Factory Outlets yesterday to do some shopping and what I saw was a little frustrating. New Years Eve, one of the busier shopping days of the year, certainly not as busy as before Christmas or Boxing Day, but it was busy.
Like many times though going to that mall on a weekend very few good parking spots, on this occasion...there were no parking spaces in front of the mall which is where I wanted to park.
Why weren't there any? Not because there weren't any, but because the Factory Outlet Mall has decided to make like a high end mall/casino/resort and offer valet parking. Yes. Valet parking at the Factory Outlet Mall, thus what is probably a few hundred very good parking spaces in front of the mall are roped off to protect them for the valet service.
I drove by and to my astonishment 75% of those valet spots were EMPTY!
That officially ends my time spent at any mall for future shopping. Is valet parking really necessary at a mall? Have we become so lazy that we are actually willing to pay to have someone park our car for us so we don't have to walk? I get valet at a casino or high end resort I totally get it, but at a mall?
The old fashioned way is fine with me. Park my car myself and unless you are handicap, if the spot requires a lil walking so be it, we are one of the more obese countries in the world, a little walking might actually be good for many of us.
Dozens of customers drove through that parking lot looking for decent parking and seeing all the spots unoccupied I couldn't have been the only one pissed off that they had them roped off. I ended up parking on the back side of the mall on the opposite side of where I wanted to be all because the Factory Outlet Mall thinks it needs to be high class. I hope that was just for the holidays and not permanent....even if it isn't permanent, Im shopping online from now on.

This Is Not a Joke
But, I blurted out in brief laughter in the middle of the grocery aisle in front of an old lady tonight when I saw this label staring at me clear as could be at Wegmans. Couldn't help it. But apparently its okay to say I saw a spotted dick in public, referring to the pudding of course.

My Theme Song for the Royal Wedding
How brain washed are we? Brain washed into waking up at 4 AM to watch a wedding between two rich kids who call themselves royalty. Are we still in the middle ages? All the royal family does in Britain is cost the tax payers money. They serve absolutely no purpose other than that of a figurehead. yet they are somehow put up on this gigantic pedestal. I wasn't opening one eyelid for that circus unless Prince William himself stood at my front door handing out $100 bills. .
We live in the US and during these tough economic and political times we are making headline news of some money pit of a royal wedding in another country? Get your heads out of your collective asses and come back to reality.

Pharmacist Hours
Yesterday I got done working around 7 pm and had a script for an antibiotic I had gotten earlier in the day from the doctor and figured that Rite Aid is open until 9, I will stop and get it filled on my way home.
So, I stopped at Rite Aid on Buffalo Ave. in Niagara Falls and the pharmacy was closed.....curious, Rite Aid "Pharmacy" is still open but no pharmacist is staffed until closing.
I figured well they are a smaller Rite Aid, Ill drive to the bigger one on Niagara Falls Blvd. Walk in, again the store closes at 9, its a little after 7 and the Pharmacy.....CLOSED.
I decided to try Walmart, again no pharmacist....though here I can understand, Walmart isn't a stand alone pharmacy, its not their primary business.
So, in a last ditch effort I headed down Pine Ave to downtown Niagara Falls, Walgreens.....same thing, no pharmacist, yet they close.....at 10 PM
One last stop, a large, brand new Rite Aid across the street....they close at 9....and at the 5th stop I lucked out. Pharmacy was open till 8 PM, it was 7:55 when I walked in the door.
So that brings up a question: Shouldn't there be a pharmacist on duty with the pharmacy open as long as Rite Aid/Walgreens or what ever "Pharmacy" it may be is open? The name of the store is Rite Aid "Pharmacy" as a customer I assume as long as the store is open you are providing the services of a pharmacist.
I guess that would make too much sense.

Fraud
If that made your brain hurt, leave a comment. Bristol, its bad enough your mom is a bimbo, you don't have to follow in her footsteps. This ad is complete BS, you have already done the "Situation" so you can't go doing ads on it and expect kids or anyone else to take you seriously. Think about what you are saying, you are basically saying that you fucked up, which is fine, but then are you admitting that your kid was a mistake? Try explaining that to your son, hey you were a mistake because I should have kept my legs closed, that ought to go over well. And what was up with the Situation conversation....that made my head spin, just say SEX. Im sure thats the conversation most adults/kids have about sex, hey you going to avoid the situation, you haven't been in the situation yet have you? They should have done that with Adam Sandler's Cajun Man:Category: Miscellaneous | Television
The Pancake Man
Yesterday "The Pancake Man" was at the Walden Galleria, he flipped a pancake out of a frying pan over 31 feet into the air and caught it back in the pan.
Apparently this was a Guiness Book of World Record's feat. Who comes up with this stuff we can only wonder. I wonder what the world record is for tossing a pencil into the air? Im going to do that this afternoon, everyone, come and watch!!!!!!!! Yeah I did it! Now what?
Anyway, the video of this is actually...pretty impressive though I don't know why anyone would want to do this nor the practical need to do this in your every day culinary experiences, who has 32 foot ceilings to play with anyway?:
