We have all read it on other blogs before: “I want Nicole Ricci to play me when they make a movie about my life” or “If a movie is ever made about how absolutely pathetic I am at being a human being, I hope the director (Ron Howard) can get Rob Labelle to play me!” Well, If you’re one of those people who are curious about who would play you in your sad little life’s movie, I have found this web site that compares your smug mug to those who are much more famous and well-to-do than you. These are the results I received:

I don’t know who the hell any of these people are but I have decided that in my will I’ll be asking for the acting services of Jacques Offenbach because he’s rockin’ some sweet ass sideburns. That is given that he is still alive when my movie is made.

Yeah, I got a new tune in composition entitled “The Thrill.”
And it goes somethin’ like this:
“I stand on the hill, not for a thrill,
but for the breath of a fresh kill.
Never mind the man who contemplates
doin’ away with license plates.
He stands alone, anyhow,
bakin’ the cookies of discontent
by the heat of the laundromat vent.
Leavin’ his soul!”
Then like in poetry I go dot-dot-dot,
you know, kinda off center,
then I drop down and then I go:
“Leavin’ his soul!
And partin’ the waters
of the medulla oblongata of
brrrrrr! — mankind!”

That was a damn good song, wasn’t it Doyle?

Corn Maze, Denver Botanic Gardens at Chatfield, Littleton

This weekend I met my pops and everyone for an afternoon down at the Denver Botanic Gardens Corn Maze. I’ve been wanting to do one of these for a few years now but never made the time or was derailed from my mission by other means (particularly lack of planning). At first the maze seemed as if it was going to be pretty easy. However, it ended up being a lot more difficult than I planned. And it seemed that about 3/4ths of the way through it there was some deesention among the ranks and we were all going to give up. Pops stepped up to the plate and led us out.

Stats (provided by pedometer)
Time spent in maze: 91 minutes
Steps taken in maze: 4,072
Miles walked: 1.6
Frustration level: 7.3 (impacted by hunger, hangover, and bad jokes)

A couple of weeks ago I uploaded our good friend Dick Simmons to give everyone who entered Hubsville a big hand for just showing up. Gideon complained about this, she doesn’t like big hands, particularly Richards. Sooooooo, I decided to change it up to Good Ole Gump. Why? My good nature readers may ask. Because 15 Dr. Peppers is the perfect cure for a hangover, the flu, and tuberculosis, or whatever else may ail ya. Do-doop-de-doop bop!

A foodie highlight of the past couple of days (not including the coconut shrimp catered at the couples wedding shower on Saturday) was the pork tenderloin with balsamic-cranberry sauce. Utterly delectable-a-licious. G and I had a bunch of people over for dinner and drinks on Sunday and fixed this dish. The recipe can be found at the jump. I highly recommend it. Though a tenderloin that feeds nine isn’t cheap, the pleasure it provides is priceless.

I’ve been making some changes to this site. I’ve finally switched up to the latest version of MT. I’ve added antispam stuff that hopefully should greatly reduce the amount of spam I’ve been receiving lately. I haven’t had a chance to test the comments so send me an email if you have any problems. In addition, I’ve redesigned the Annex. Although there is no longer the ability to comment on the links, there should bee a lot more links coming through. I’m still not checking my email at work but at least the emails that you send me won’t be getting lost in the sea of spam I was receiving before. Of course that’s no guarantee that I’ll be returning emails, just a guarantee that I’ll be reading them. Probably.

I’ll be making some other changes and hopefully this will lead to more entries here.

I’d hate to run into this guy in a dark alley.

We’re gonna do it!
Give us any chance, we’ll take it.
Read us any rule, we’ll break it.
We’re gonna make our dreams come true.
Doin’ it our way.

Nothin’s gonna turn us back now,
Straight ahead and on the track now.
We’re gonna make our dreams come true,
Doin’ it our way.

There is nothing we won’t try,
Never heard the word impossible.
This time there’s no stopping us.
We’re gonna do it.

On your mark, get set, and go now,
Got a dream and we just know now,
We’re gonna make that dream come true.
And we’ll do it our way, yes our way.
Make all our dreams come true,
And do it our way, yes our way,
Make all our dreams come true
For me and you.

I’ve done a weekend by time.
I’ve done the weekend in a 12 step program.
I’ve done my weekend in fragments.
I’ve done my weekend in hi/low-lights.

But today you have the pleasure of viewing my weekend in a word search. Aren’t you lucky? I understand that this hardly passes the muster, it’s probably much closer to passing the mustard, but baby, it’s alls I gots. And to be honest, I think this little break I’ve taken recently has slowed my performance down. Take it or leave it I suppose. So, I guess I’ll quit rambling and go ahead and let you start wasting your time. Don’t fall asleep. Words to look for can be found in the extension. Look out below…
