This one is for you Miller

Robot Bartender


A guy goes into a bar and there is a robot bartender. The robot says,"What will you have?" The guy says "Martini." The robot brings back the best martini ever and says to the man, "What's your IQ?" The guy says, "168." The robot then proceeds to talk about physics, space exploration and medical technology.
The guy leaves, but he is curious, so he goes back into the bar. The robot bartender says, "What will you have?" The guy says, "Martini". Again, the robot makes a great martini, gives it to the man and says, "What's your IQ?" The guy says, "100." The robot then starts to talk about Nascar, Budweiser and John Deere tractors.
The guy leaves, but finds it very interesting, so he thinks he will try it one more time. He goes back into the bar. The robot says, "What will you have?" The guy says, "Martini", and the robot brings him another great martini. The robot then says, "What's your IQ?" The guy says, "Uh, about 50."
The robot leans in real close and says, "So... you gonna cheer for the Leafs again this year?"

Halloweekend

It has arrived. One more load of wood to unload and then I can relax. Then think about making a costume. Hmmmmmmmmm.

Candy time is coming.

I can't wait to eat lots of candy...

new Belkin Phone

I just got my new Skype phone. Delivered to my door. $125+70 annual fee and I have a long distance phone for 1 year!!!

Stacked wood till midnight!

My life is so exciting. Tonight I kept working on my backyard project and I moved a bunch of big fir rounds and made a partial wall for my new workshop. It will be a lot bigger than the current shed and there will be power, good ventilation, and a nice view of the bushes. the chickens ate a slurry of rice, apple sauce, and oatmeal for breakfast. I ate their potential offspring for lunch. We all had a good day.

Heads or Tails?


NORML has more charts and statistics

Good Morning...Good Night

Next time you cook scrambled eggs, try mixing in one teaspoon of 2% milk and one dash salt for EACH egg and beating it up for 2 minutes. Then pour into a pre-heated, pre-buttered pand and follow the Martha Stewart method of pushing the mass towards the middle after it has set (2minutes), then move the pan about and keep pushing the eggs to the middle...

I've been trying lots of new ways to cook eggs now that our chickens are ramping up production. Scrambled is the easiest way to eat 4-6 eggs at once, IMO.

This tomato looks like a duckling to me. What do you think?

The bloggers scare me. They are going to eat us all.

Free stuff in Vancouver...all this stuff could be yours!

Wow! only half of the free listings from one day. Makes me want to work overtime, so I can get my butt to Ikea and buy up all the sale items. Then I can bring them home, realize how ugly they are, kick myself for buying them, and give them away on Caigslist.
 Imagine how many hideous bed-frames and dressers are out there just waiting to be bought so that they may eventually end up on some future doorstep to be collected by internet scavengers.
