Here's one I hope brings a laugh to some of you out there:
A Florida senior citizen drove his brand new Corvette convertible out of the dealership. Taking off down the road, he
floored it to 80 mph, enjoying the wind blowing through what little hair he had left.
"Amazing," he thought as he flew down I-75, pushing the pedal even more. Looking in his rear view mirror, he saw the
highway patrol behind him, blue lights flashing and siren blaring. He floored it to 100 mph, then 110, then 120.
Suddenly he thought,"What am I doing? I'm too old for this," and pulled over to await the Trooper's arrival.
Pulling in behind him, the Trooper walked up to the Corvette, looked at his watch and said, "Sir, my shift ends in 30
minutes. Today is Friday. If you can give me a reason for speeding that I've never heard before, I'll let you go."
The old gentleman paused. Then said, "Years ago, my wife ran off with a Florida State Trooper. I thought you were bringing
her back."
"Have a good day, Sir," replied the Trooper

I'm pretty giddy, right now.
On the History Channel right now (& @ 2am) is a new installment of UNIVERSE.
It just happens to be about the topic of one of my favorite hobbies: Extra Solar Planets
ALIEN PLANETS
Have planet hunters finally found proof of other Earthlike worlds? Astronomers have now discovered over two hundred alien worlds, beyond our solar system, that were unknown just a decade ago. Discover planets that rage with fiery hurricanes and bizarre planets covered by water so dense that it forms a kind of hot ice. Among these weird worlds, Earth actually seems like the oddball with the right conditions for life.
YAYYYYY

So, yesterday, the plan was to
1) meet my best friend @ a mall in Wilmington, DE @ 5:30pm.
2) ride up together to King Of Prussia together.
3) Watch the 7pm showing of Beowulf on IMAX digital 3-D.
4) Drive back down to PF Changs after the movie & get in just before closing.
(We figured it would be best to do the movie 1st because 2hrs in a movie w/ spicy chinese in our tummies might be rough.)
Due to piss poor planning, here's what happened:
1) meet @ Wilmington
2) Drive to King of Prussia
3) 7pm movie sold out so we decide to come back for the 9:45pm movie
4) drive 35 mins to PF Changs.
5) PF Changs has a 1hr 25min wait to be seated.
6) Drive 35 min back to King of Prussia
7) > Spagetti Factory has 1hr 45min wait
> TGI Fridays has a 1hr 20min wait.
> Bahama something has a 1hr 30 min wait.
8) We decide to drive 15 mins back down the highway to a small town, less crowded to Outback Steakhouse
45min wait. What the hell?!? by the time we get seated & served, we'll miss our movie.
9) We order carry out & 20 mins later, we are parked @ the back of the parking lot (so other customers won't see
us gorging on coconut shrimp & cheesefries) in a toyota pick up truck eating & laughing about how chaotic things get whenever we hang out together.
10) We make the movie w/ 15 mins to spare.
11) movie awesome - we head back to Wilmington to get my truck
12) she follows me to a gas station so I can fill her truck up. She's on the phone & not paying attention & forgets that she needed gas & waves as I pull into the exxon & she drives by.
13) makes a quick U-ey in front of a cop.
14) I'm filling up her tank while her plates are being called in.
15) She heads home to hubby & I head home to laundry.

Coconut shrimp? I figured you to be a babyback rib guy.
I get antsy when they tell me it will be more than a 20 minute wait.
At least your cheese fries didn't argue during the movie. Was the IMAX in 3D?
The nearest IMAX to me is on the other side of the city, and I don't usually want to drive the 45 minutes to see anything that bad. Guess maybe Beowulf is worth the drive.

Oh, no. I'm a seafood guy, all the way. Well... not "ALL" the way.
The whole reason for eating @ PF Changs (besides I love chinese food) was because Sheryl insisted that I had to try their Fire Scallops (I'm a scallop freak). Actually, she ate most of the fries & only had 1 shrimp.
Yes. The IMAX was in digital 3-D. The best IMAX for me is in KoP, which is 1hr 15min drive if there's no traffic.
Due to the drive, I reserve IMAX visits for high special effects movies or period movies. I'll be going next month for Golden Compass, which I presume will be released on IMAX as well. Of course, I drive up to 3000 miles a month from roof to roof, so driving an hour for an IMAX or a good meal, isn't as big a deal for me as it may be for other people.

OMG, PF Changs is great, there is always a huge wait here too, Cali and I have to drive 20 mins just to get there it is at a mall, and just a hop, skip and a jump across the parking lot of the Mall is a Cheesecake Factory. Tj and I love the lettuce wraps and Honey Glazed Shrimp at PF Changs! |

PF Changs - heard of them, don't know where one is, but obviously not anywhere around here!
Funny thing about my diet, I'll eat any kind of seafood except for fish. Never liked the taste of any fish (okay, as a kid I would eat fishsticks, but they had to be smothered in tartar sauce, and today I can stomach tuna salad or casserols), the texture, or the smell. My wife is a big tilapia and salmon freak, but they do nothing for me.
I forgot that I have been to an IMAX showing of currrent movies, but it was in the resort town of Branson, MO. Saw the last Batman there, and a Jackie Chan flix once while on vacation.

I'm the same way about fish. As a chikd, I would "run away" (really, more of a walk about) & for food, I would need to bow fish. Those days of eating fish kind of ruined the taste for me. Now, if I eat fish, it has to be a non fish tasting fish like cod or whitefish. I do eat tuna casserole & tuna salad quite often, but they don't really count. The casserole tastes of mushroom & the salad tastes of Mhiracle Whip. My fav seafood is barbeque squid. Well... barbeque & smothered in teriyake sauce. Then scallops. Then crab & shrimp. I rarely like any of it breaded, unless it is coconut breading.
As far as IMAX goes, I'm sort of an IMAXaholic the real movies that I've seen on IMAX are
300
Beowulf
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire & Harry Potter And The Order Of The Phoenix 3D
Star Wars: Attack of the Clones
The Lion King
Spiderman 3
The "NON"movies that I've seen on IMAX are Roving Mars, Alien Adventure, First Emperor of China, Thrill Ride: The Science of Fun, Extreme, To The Limit, Sacred Planet, Cirque du Soleil - Journey of Man, Australia: Land Beyond Time, T-Rex: Back to the Cretaceous, Adrenaline Rush: The Science of Risk, Mystery of the Maya, Deep Sea 3-D, Blue Planet, Ocean Oasis, Encounter In The 3rd Dimension
(I think there's a couple more) I was going to see Fighter Pilot, but never got a chance.
Unfortunately, Golden Compass won't be IMAX (grrr) Oh well. Saves an hour drive each way. & maybe by the time it hits DVD, Santa will have brought me a set of myvu. Dawn & TJ... I AM LEGEND is coming out on IMAX. Dark Knight & Shrek Goes Forth are going to be on IMAX, as well. The 2 I'm looking forward to are The Spiderwick Chronicles and HUBBLE 3D (dying to see this one).
PTC. If you still live in Ferguson, you'll want Wehrenberg Ronnies 20 Cinema IMAX. There's also the St. Louis Science Center, but they play documentaries as opposed to "movie" movies.
Wehrenberg Ronnies 20 Cinema
5320 S. Lindbergh Blvd.
St. Louis MO

Yep, Ronnies' is on the south side of the city, and I live on the north. It is a good 30-45 minutes to get there from here, longer if traffic is bad, and it usually is.
The Science Center isn't an Imax, but an Omnimax theather. The difference is that the Imax is flat screened, and the Omnimax wraps around as it is projected onto a dome. The Science Center does occassionally show theatrical movies, when they can make a big buck off of it guarenteed (Harry Potter for example). Soon getting to the Science Center is going to be a mess, as they are going to close Interstate 64 (Highway 40 for us locals) for 2 years to rebuild it. So Slammie, if you're coming through town after the start of the year, stay off I64!

11th Husband
A young man married a beautiful woman who had previously divorced ten husbands. On their wedding night, she told her new husband, "Please be gentle; I'm still a virgin."
"What?" said the puzzled groom, "How can that be if you've been married ten times?"
"Well, husband #1 was a Sales Representative; he kept telling me how great it was going to be."
"Husband #2 was in Software Services; he was never really sure how it was supposed to function, but he said he'd look into it and get back to me."
"Husband #3 was from Field Services; he said everything checked out diagnostically but he just couldn't get the system up."
"Husband #4 was in Telemarketing; even though he knew he had the order, he didn't know when he would be able to deliver."
"Husband #5 was an Engineer, he understood the basic process but wanted three years to research, implement, and design a new state-of-the- art method."
"Husband #6 was from Administration; he thought he knew how, but he wasn't sure whether it was his job or not."
"Husband #7 was in Marketing; although he had a product, he was never sure how to position it."
"Husband #8 was a psychiatrist; all he ever did was talk about it."
"Husband #9 was a gynecologist; all he did was look."
"Husband #10 was a stamp collector; all he ever did was.... God, I miss him!"
"But now that I've married you, I'm so excited!"
Wonderful," said the husband, "but why?"
"You're with the Government; this time I KNOW I'm gonna get screwed."

Here was an interesting story in msn news, today.Mountain lion crashes woman's hot tub soak
Big cat flips South Dakotan's robe into the water before running off
updated 9:00 a.m. ET, Sun., Dec. 9, 2007
DEADWOOD, S.D. - A relaxing soak in a hot tub came to an abrupt end when Marlene Todd came eye to eye with a mountain lion in her backyard.
"I was kind of hidden, sitting with my back up against the side of the tub, and I heard a little rustling sound in the needles right beside me," she said.
Todd said she thought it might have been her house cat until she saw "this big, tan, hairy body" just 4 inches away.
"I didn't realize what it was until it took a leap and jumped up on the side of my hot tub," Todd said.
The cougar was cornered somewhat because the deck stairs blocked its retreat. It would have to go up and over the hot tub.
"It just took a leap. It jumped on the side of the hot tub," Todd said of the Thursday morning encounter. "We locked eyes, and it kicked off of the hot tub and ran away. When it jumped, it flipped my robe into the hot tub."
She summoned Deadwood police, who surmised the big cat was stalking some deer in the neighborhood and may have been attracted to the warmth of the hot tub on the frosty morning.
"Now I know what a goldfish feels like when the cat is staring in its bowl," Todd said.

Looking forward to the movie The Forbidden Kingdom.
I would prefer that the token white kid wasn't the kid from sky high, but atleast it has Jackie Chan & Jet Li together.http://www.youtube.com/v/jbbDoKntyiQ&rel=1

Went to Atlanta yesterday. I think I scared a bunch of people.
1st off, I went back to retake pics of the behold monument & Dr Marty Lu's mausoleum on the vaser w/ digital camera since the pics I originally took were several years old & w/ disposable 35mm cameras. Project accomplished. I'll post pics in a few days.
As it happens, I was walking away & crossing the streets of downtown A'hood to get back to my truck.... I did something accidently amusing (to me, anyway). When I get mentally bored, I tend to make weird sounds to myself or recite funny lines from various movies/tv shows to amuse myself. Clearly paying attention to my own unstable world & ignoring the world outside my head, I let out "CaCaw! CaCaw! Touckey Touckey? CaCawwww!" from the movie Evolution. I look up & realize there's about 20 people walking across the street towards me. Eyes wide open.
So anyway, just had to share the amusement. Perhaps, if I ever do make it to a con during the con & not a day after or a day before, you'll get to witness one of my many psychotic slips. It could be the sierra mist commercial where the baboon flies through the air to land in the frosty polar water (I tend to do that one a lot), or a line from Death to Smoochy or even just some obscure quote from veggie tales or Jimmy Neutron or anything else that slips past the filter between my brain & my mouth.
Anyway, hope everybody's ready for the weekend & hope you have a good one.
Here's a video for a song that I can't seem to escape, right now. Enjoy. (it's Darude)http://www.youtube.com/v/5MaO7gj_hZg&rel=1

A few days ago I was having some work done at my local garage.. A blonde came in and asked for a seven-hundred- ten. We all looked at each other and another customer asked, "What is a seven-hundred- ten?" She replied, "You know, the little piece in the middle of the engine, I have lost it and need a new one.." She replied that she did not know exactly what it was, but this piece had always been there. The mechanic gave her a piece of paper and a pen and asked her to draw what the piece looked like. She drew a circle and in the middle of it wrote 710. He then took her over to another car which had its hood up and asked "is there a 710 on this car?" She pointed and said, "Of course, its right there." If you're not sure what a 710 is Click Here: http://www.hotautow eb.com/cogifs/ 710.jpg |
