View Full Version : Pretty much the worst magician ever

I took my daughter to Chuck E. Cheese's last night on account we do that every month or so and on account my wife was in Tennessee on business.

For some reason, she likes the robot mouse and dog and Italian dude that plays drums and the mini concerts that they give.

So we get there and there's this dude walking around with one of those microphones that fit on your head and he's talking into it in Spanish and it's coming through all the speakers...

I'm thinking, this isn't a good sign. Especially since all the TVs are off in the stage area.

And so, he's playing this really loud Tejano music and talking over it with a cheesy voice and I'm like, "oh man, a Tejano DJ. I didn't know those guys existed." And there's a little Spanish speaking family gathered around his sound system and I'm like, yup it's a birthday party DJ.

But then out of no where. The DJ starts running around the stage area (not up ON the stage mind you, on the floor to one side of the stage) with his hands on fire.

There's more to the story but I'm already bored of just remembering and typing about it.

He was the worst magician ever.

Oh, my wife is staying in the same hotel in Tennessee that GWB is staying at and they have the elevators locked down so she has to take the stairs. It's the one with the ducks.

And here's a recipe for a pie that tastes like apple pie, but is made of ritz crackers. There's no apple in it.




Ritz Mock Apple Pie

The classic pie, featuring Ritz crackers baked in a golden crust,
is perfect for the holidays.

Pastry for two-crust 9-inch pie
36 RITZ Crackers, coarsely broken (about 1 3/4 cups crumbs)
1 3/4 cups water
2 cups sugar
2 teaspoons cream of tartar
2 tablespoons lemon juice
Grated peel of one lemon
2 tablespoons margarine or butter
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon


1. Roll out half the pastry and line a 9-inch pie plate. Place
cracker crumbs in prepared crust; set aside.

2. Heat water, sugar and cream of tartar to a boil in saucepan
over high heat; simmer for 15 minutes. Add lemon juice and peel;
cool.

3. Pour syrup over cracker crumbs. Dot with margarine or butter;
sprinkle with cinnamon. Roll out remaining pastry; place over pie.
Trim, seal and flute edges. Slit top crust to allow steam to escape.

4. Bake at 425 F for 30 to 35 minutes or until crust is crisp
and golden. Cool completely.

Makes 10 servings

Why would you call something one name when it had none of that name in it? Like meatless burgers. There's no burger in it. Don't call it a burger.


This is some amazing stuff.


They should call it FAUX apple pie.

That 1/2 court inbound pass was a thing of beauty wasn't it?

I'm beginning to wonder if my ears are deformed or something. I'm not talking elf deformed or vulcan deformity, just a little deformed but still normal looking.

I got some new headphones the other day. They're pretty cool. The kind that wrap around the back of your head not over the top, and they have earbuds on them instead of the foam pad ear covers. After about 5 or 6 songs, they start hurting my ears. Normal earbud headphones do this too.

Surely people aren't walking around with their ears hurting every time they play music are they? That means my ears must be deformed.

I had this exact same thought the other day. I have yet to find earbuds that don't start hurting within 20 minutes. I think mine are deformed too. Or maybe everyone just puts up with the pain.

Going forward, I would avoid the ear bud style headphones.

Trackback

I seem to have generated quite a controversy with my earbud story earlier in the week. Several of you have commented that it's not all that uncommon and some have hinted that another solution might be the answer.

One of my readers (http://www.soonerfans.com/forums/showpost.php?p=626890&postcount=24) implied that I should just throw them away. Of course, I'm not made of money like some of you are.

I haven't decided if I'm going to try and build up ear callouses or not, but I'll keep you informed.

For those of you who wrote in support of me. Thanks.

Wow! Has it really been that long since I've submitted a new article?

I'm trying to keep myself to a fairly strict schedule. I mean, how is anyone going to take my journalism seriously unless I can provide timely information.

Things have been pretty hectic around here lately. I had to run out to the garage and get another jar of jelly and I ended up twisting the bread tie the wrong way, which doubled the amount of effort required to get the sucker open.

For those of you who wrote in words of support and inquiring about my whereabouts. You can relax. I'm just fine. A little frazzled, but just fine.

As most of you know, I've such a geek when it comes to efficiency enhancement. I've run across a pretty good little gem over at http://www.43folders.com/

He's got some good ideas for how to handle an overflowing email inbox. I know he requires buy in from fellow co-workers, but if they do.. He just may be on to something.

BMI is horsecrap

So one of my acquaintances recently went in for a physical. I guess there was a weird nurse at the Dr. office or something and even though the doctor said everything was fine, she flagged his file for quite a bit more testing.

Of course, he looks like he's quite a bit overweight, but Hey... if the dr. thought everything was fine, why should it matter?

According to the charts most hollywood actors are considered obese. That's crazy. If you watch TV, you know they're all skinny. There needs to be more scientific data in these charts. If you know what I mean.

Of course, it couldn't hurt him to fast for a day or two leading up to the tests... ;) If you know what I "mean." ;)

Friday Afternoon Joke

I found this little gem while surfing around this afternoon. Note the interesting juxtaposition of the two meanings of the word "beaver."



An 80-year-old man went to his doctor for his annual
check-up. The doctor asks him how he's feeling. The
80-year-old says, "I've never felt better. I now have
a 20 year-old bride who is pregnant with my child.
What do you think about that?"

The doctor considers his question for a minute and
then begins.

"I have an older friend, much like you, who is an avid
trophy hunter and never misses a season. One day, when
he was going out hunting, he was in a bit of a hurry
and accidentally picked up his walking cane instead of
his gun. When he got to the creek, he saw a prime
beaver sitting beside the stream of water. He raised
his cane and went 'bang, bang'. Suddenly, two shots
rang out and the beaver fell over dead.

What do you think of that?"

The 80-year-old said, "I'd say somebody else pumped a
couple of rounds into that beaver."

The doctor replied, "My point exactly."

Beano's Fourth Chin

I meant ear infection.

I guess, if they hurt, ear infections can fall under the earache umbrella, though. But mostly my question was in regard to ear infections since I know other people that have them.
