Chinese Food, Crocodile Dundee, and "this is our country"

Random thoughts at 1:01 pm on Thursday, February 1, 2007

I've come to realize that the only reason why I would like to become a lawyer would be so I could pull all nighters with my fellow lawyers and eat take-out chinese food straight out of the container with chop sticks like they do in the movies. Speaking of chinese food, I have been searching for a fortune that had the number 21 on it, which happens to be my birthday and lucky number, for 22 years now, and no longer need to search for it. I got it a couple of weeks ago from the one and only Grand China here in town, and was obviously very happy. It read, "You have a keen sense of humor and love a good time" for all those who were wondering. I like to think so as well. Also, I learned that Li-Mao means Polite...good stuff.

I watched the movie Supersize Me for the first time on Monday night, and the movie both disgusted and amazed me. Obviously eating McDonalds for an entire month is unhealthy, but the dude actually almost died. Nonetheless, I am not going to eat McDonalds in the near future. Oh, and Ronald McDonald scares me.

I am a big fan of pretty much any lemon-lime flavored soda, but Twist Up, which is a knock-off of Sprite/7-Up/Sierra Mist not only doesn't taste good, it doesn't make sense to me. The can says Twist Up on it, but the second "T" in twist is upside down for some reason. So if you are reading it, it says, Twis with an upside down T. What the hell? In other beverage news, I had a Dasani Bottled Water the other day, and didn't like it. I was thinking about how much I would rather have an Ice Mountain or tap water instead of it. But my favorite water of all, hose water on a hot summer day.

Bagels and cream cheese is my favorite late night snack, pizza is my favorite drunk food, and gatorade is my favorite hungover food. Things to think about for the question game, which I happened to play recently for only the second time in my life. If you know what I'm talking about, I like you. If not, move onto AJ Ratliff.

I don't like AJ Ratliff or that cast he has on. Look at him. I have to say something about the Badgers losing, but I'll make it short. I'm not that upset that we lost, I'm upset with the fact that sportswriters and the press have been waiting for this to happen, and now that it has, they are going to rip us apart and talk about how overrated we are. News flash...we are still 21-2, and have beaten 2 top 10 teams. I hate Doug Gottlieb. Go steal some credit cards.

Shaving without shaving cream is not smart.

Is it just me or have the commercials for the new show "Dirt" on FX been rediculously over-played? The commercial time for "Dirt" rivals that of the Robot Dodge Ram commercial and the "this is our country" commerical. I have yet to watch the show, but I'm pretty sure it sucks. And Courtney Cox isn't even that hot.

If Crocodile Dundee were real, and The Crocodile Hunter Steven Irwin were still with us, I could see them being really good friends.

Although very intoxicated last Saturday night, I was very upset about having to wait in line to get into the bar Monday's. It's not even a good bar, and we only went there to meet up with people. The hell of it is, we got in, saw our friends, they wanted to leave, and promptly left. Didn't even get a drink there.

Been thinking about new band names lately. Any suggestions? How about Sharp Harkins and the Barricade? Or we could spell it Barrakade (for Justin Barrak). Let me know what you think or if you have anything else...and Kevin...Sharkins is not an option.

That's all I got. It is now 1:33 pm.
