Weirdest thing that happened in Costa Rica:
I was in the airport, getting ready to check my luggage, when my friend Rachel starts tweaking out and pointing. I look over one line, and Brandon Boyd is standing not six feet away from us. Within thirty seconds, the rest of the band is there, and Rachel is shaking Brandon's hand.
It gets weirder. They had played at a music festival about two blocks away from our hotel, and had been in the country for the same amount of time as we had.
Later on, Rachel runs into Brandon again and gets his autograph. He seemed like a pretty nice guy. Rach basically floated the rest of the way home.
Surreal.
Pura vida!!!
The truth be told, I have a secret addicition to soft tacos.
Oh God, somebody help me....
Pura vida!!!
What? Speak engrish please.
"Hey, you guys seen my hair detergent?"
My mother said that exact thing once. And something about "snow-scrapey-things" one winter. She was sober both times.

Uhm. That's not what they're called?
A cube has 6 sides, not four, and their picture is of either a square divided into quarters, or an eight-sider.
Officially morons: Disregard.

A guy I work with at the station, Shane, is a great guy, but not exactly the sharpest bulp that ever came down the pike (if ya ken what I mean). He has an opinion about everything, and doesn't know when to shut up. Three prime examples (all from today):
"Aw, man, I got a headache. Bad. Been gettin' 'em ever since that concrussion I got playin' football in high school."
Yeah. He said "concrussion."
"I, like, totally believe in Bigfoot and UFOs and stuff, but people who think Nessie and the Mothman are real are full of s*++, you know?"
And finally:
"Ah, jeez. You know what? My shirts never fit. I got like huge biceps and shoulders, but my waist is, like, small. And I got long arms, but I'm only five-five. This sucks."
He rants like this about once a week.
But I am real...but people who think Nessie and the Mothman are real are full of s#!#, you know?"
I believe in you, Mothman.
If clapping or ringing a bell will help you stay in this realm, just say the word. I once kept Tinkerbell alive for twenty minutes totally on my own when the rest of the audience went to use the bathrooms and buy Cokes.
Giving Tinkerbell "the clap?" Not cool, man....

Awesome video! The guys at work enjoyed as well. Just watching it makes my scrotum clench a little, holy crap.
I have my father to thank for instilling an unhealthy reaction to heights. When I was little he used to constantly make me ride up in those freaking fire truck buckets, followed by trips to Canada to look over the castle walls. Yeesh.
Lithium Cola: Your head will explode with flavour!You live in America. Spell it right.
But it looks so much COOLER with the u!

My dad and I walked up Mount Sugarloaf in Lake City, Mn.
At the top he grabbed me, pushed me toward the edge, and said, "don't fall!"It was hilarious.
I remember when there was nothing but music videos. No news, no Remote Control. Just videos. Music Television. They had a great few years, while it lasted.
Oiy. I hate to weigh in on this, because I dislike dating myself, but I still remember the commercials showing when MTV was switching to 24 hours a day (death comes knocking, the kid is like, can you come back later, I'm watching MTV, death acquiesces, not realizing it doesn't shut off anymore...). Then again, I'm sure there are more than enough people here who remember a time before MTV, or TV, for that matter... :)
It was hilarious.
I bet the return shanking was equally hilarious, especially that far away from medical attention!

Back when I was 17 we all went on canoe one day. while inside micks canoe rental paying. A grizzled old man looking like popeye's dad Pappy walks in beer gut pot bellied, rockin some biker shorts and the smell of Bud swirled about him, he states: "If Les paul walks in playin gitar here I'm gonna sh*t myself" and he said this three or four times before being escorted out.
Reminds me of this one time the wife and I (well.. g/f at the time) rented a canoe. We were out on the lake found a nook and did naughty things.
The canoe bit.. not the les paul and drunk old guy bit.

Remember back in the day? You know, when there was actual programming on MTV?
My god... Serena Altschul. I was so in love with her back in high school and early college...
Thanks for that. :)
Annnd......
That would be something for the grandkids.
And here's something that wasn't on MTV, but should have been.
Shiny, if you get sick of the 80s nostalgia videos, just say the word. :P
This is too weird. On a thread I'm not going to anymore, someone made a joke about Kool Aid. So I thought that it would be funny to make an avatar of Kool-Aid Man to say "OH YEAH!"
Simple enough. So I go to make it, and type in Kool-Aid Man for the name, and it tells me that someone already has used it. So I do a search of the messageboards and didn't see anything because I didn't scroll down far enough, and for some reason assumed that the board software didn't like the hyphen. Yeah, I know, made sense at the time for some reason, though.
So la la made my little joke, and then the original Kool-Aid Man pops up, who is blue. So that's embarrassing. But what's worse is, the owner of said avatar is none other than Watcher, esteemed longtime member of these boards and owner of a Blue Owl avatar for his main identity.
So by now he must think I am the biggest copycat in the world. Which is not untrue, but I generally try to steal a little bit from lots of different people, not lift someone's entire deal.
Watcher, if you are out there, SORRY! If you want, I will never use orange Kool Aid Man again. But if it's ok, maybe we can have Kool-Aid parties with both Blue Raspberry and Orange artificially colored and flavored beverages.
Your friend in Owlness,
Trey
My step-brother went to FSU. I don't talk to him anymore.
A local buisnessman named Scott Canda decided to open an RV park right off the Interstate. In a fit of genius, he named it, yes, 'Candaland'.
Would you really want to stay the night at an isolated RV park named 'Candaland' in the prairie?

So I grew my sideburns from their normal length (level with a little below the bottom of my ears) down to the corner of my jaw. Had them that length for about a week, and no-ones commented. Is this a good look? A bad look? Do the ladies dig it?
All I know is that whenever I've grown out my beard or sideburns, the ladies definitely DID NOT dig it. At one point, I looked like my avatar. It did not turn out well.
Huh, that's funny. I just let my sideburns grow back at what I would consider normal length, about an inch above the lobe. Haircutters have been totally keeping them off for years, and I got tired of rocking the Gary Numan look (especially since my face is a lot fatter than his and could use the definition).
Never tried the Wolverine style, though.

Yeah, I should really do that. Maybe I’ll try to get something sorted on the weekend. I don’t really do cameras, but we’ll see…
Personally, I say no, BUT, the jaw line thin sideburn into mustache look appears to be big this year, so run with it.
I wish I was mature enough to read this bird related story, but it's just not happening.

No .... me either.
It brings a whole new meaning to bird watching, doesn't it?
LOL
