Shout out to…

The new Reader(s) Of The Week: Nate Nebel & Shana Hanson, who are engaged to be married sometime next October. Nate, nice hat and nice smile. Besides doing his part to get me through college, Nebel is always good for a poorly timed round of irish car bombs during baseball or college basketball season. Good job on a couple gadget updates this week, let’s hang out soon.

This is really interesting…

I had 5 face/head shots in a row during the nerf battle today – I think it’s safe to say I’m back

Lately I’m thinking…

I’m worried that if I go too long without having Bogart’s pizza in red lodge i’m going to forget what it tastes like.

Lately I’m thinking…

Preatty weak gadget update today, especially for a Friday, my bad. WHOA wait a minute, I just looked over and I believe my boss is drinking a beer. Current time – 2:20 PM.

The Soapbox:

Have a fun and safe weekend everyone!!

Shout out to…

The Reader of the Week…..Ladies and gentlemen….Tanner Keil! Nebel, Mikey or Demaris would announce that on the mic every time Tanner walked into the Legion – classic. It also happens to be Tanner’s bday tomorrow, so don’t forget to call him at midnight tonight just to say hello. Tanner rarely, if ever, makes good decisions, but I think he’s actually tricked himself into believing that he’s going to turn the corner any day now. I’ll give you your free cocktail after Snow Joke, courtesy of the Filling Station – that’s just a little more incentive for me to actually finish the race. Happy Bday!!

This video a player (Sylvester) on the UW football team made in high school. A lot of you don’t know who he is, and it’s kind of hard to understand what he’s saying, but the hits are just hilarious. There’s no way that nobody got hurt making it.

This is really interesting…

Steph and I were going to go this Belgianfest beer tasting thing with our neighbors tomorrow, but the tickets are sold out! But since we were already planning on a few beers during the day, we just decided to do our own Georgetown pub crawl at 12:00 PM…why not? who’s coming with us?

This is really interesting…

I went to an exhibit at the Frye Art Museum last night for a Path with Art event and then heard a local artist (Faye Jones) give a lecture about her work and process. The moral of the story (besides me being educated, well cultured, and kind of a big deal) is Heather, I want you to draw me a lot more pictures. Thanks in advance!!

The Soapbox:

Have a fun and safe weekend everyone!! I’m going to try and run 5 miles tomorrow. I went to Piecoras last night and after I put parmesan on my slices the wait came over, starred at it, and then said “uhh was that intentional?”

Shout out to…

The first Reader of the Week in 2010….Joseph Soueidi! Joey and I went to every school together since we were one year old, which includes the school of hard knocks. We actually have this same picture of us when we were 2. Joe has adult braces but should be getting them off soon. I figured since you have Monday off i would go ahead and make this the best weekend of your life by featuring you today. Sorry you didn’t win before Christmas which would have given me lots of time to buy you a cocktail, but thanks for all the Ronrico and Mr Boston rum. Click here to see a photo that shows we’re more than just tough guys. Go America!

Current Status…

10 easily! I was kind of hung over this morning (thanks AJ and Miller) but all of a sudden got really hyper and felt great! Now I’m off to MOD pizza and then dinner tonight with miss Stephanie

Currently reading…

The husky football blog – i made my first comment on it yesterday and skeelo saw it. On the Internet! I’m really glad Sark is staying. I’m also excited that Lane Kiffen is in the Pac-10. Here was a quote the LA times got from an anonymous assistant during the early Pete Carroll years: “Chow schemed plays, Sark developed quarterbacks, and Lane got the coffee”

Shout out to…

(kind of) Britt Hesse who told me about groupon.com. Basically they email you a deal every day. It started out promising with a pizza deal, but since then the two offers have been “50% off Electrolysis” and “Up to 57% off Trapeze Class”. It’s the “Up to” part that concerns me, as those deals always turn out to be way less

The Soapbox:

Have a fun and safe weekend everyone! Couple quick hitters: Went to the UW game last night and it was a dunk fest. I’m never going in Seeley Lake again without pants and shoes. I’ve ran 3 miles since my last half marathon and I was sore for 3 days. The next half marathon is in a month. Instead of “running” it I might try instead to set the MT state record for fastest time driving a half marathon.  Holzer our reunion is June 4th!

Shout out to…

The new Reader of the Week….Heather Imsande! Heather is in her 4th year of med school at Boston University (austin massachusetts?), although I still drop medical knowledge bombs on her all the time. She’s also an accomplished <insert anything here>. She’ll be in Seattle all week (hopefully doing chores) so we get a pre-Christmas bonus break together this year. Enjoy your free cocktail tonight Heather! (don’t forget to pay for the rest)

Currently watching…

This mind blowing video Mitch sent to me this morning – click here to see it. Warning, it’s actually mind blowing. On a side note, Robin Hood and Jungle Book are terrific movies. I’m not even mad….that’s amazing

This is really interesting…

We went to Steph’s Christmas party last night at Ponti, and those things are funny enough on their own, but they also a gift exchange with like 50 people (it takes an hour). I swear there are almost fights over some items, it’s out of control. Steph’s big plan this year was to claim the gift we originally brought and act like we didn’t know what it was, but it was obviously spoiled when someone ‘stole’ it from us. So then we shifted our focus from just finding something we could re-gift to the white elephant exchange at my Christmas party on Saturday. After a few steals and some side trades, we walked away with a snuggie. Steph actually traded a guy a blanket with NO sleeves for it, what an IDIOT!! hahahha

Lately I’m thinking…

My knee’s kind of been popping lately and I kind of hurt my hip reaching down my left side to pick something up, but my snow joke training routine of not training isn’t suffering at all! On a side note, steph literally ran over my heel today when I got out of the car after I explicitly told her I didn’t want to get out of the car while it was moving

The Soapbox:

Have a fun and safe weekend everyone!! I’m coming home the 18th – 30th, and although I have to work a couple of those days I’m very excited for the extended stay!!!

Shout out to…

The new Reader of the Week……Pat Hopps! You’ve heard of the most interesting man in the world? Well Pat’s probably one of the most fascinating. Pat is married to Katie and is expecting a baby soon! He was last seen roaming the UW sideline wearing plaid shorts in the middle of a chilly october game. Apologies to all the readers for the abrupt change from a victorias secret model to what looks like an under-dressed Pat at a formal get together…nice bib snow pants. Enjoy your cocktail and fame Pat!

This video is pretty funny – click here to see it. Apparently florida state makes a habit of having their O-linemen remain still in order to draw offside flags. It looks like this guy just fell asleep.

This is really interesting…

Well oregon won, it was a great game to watch. Have fun demolishing ohio state in the rose bowl. I’m just sad we’re going to miss out on all the story lines that would have come from OSU playing OSU….can you imagine!!? Also mini shout out to oregon for actually wearing their school colors during a football game, even though it took semi-throw back jerseys to do it.

Lately I’m thinking…

My snow joke training is going great so far – i haven’t had to leave the couch.

The Soapbox:

Have a fun and safe weekend everyone!!! See you at Kells if you’re in Seattle

Thanksgiving Edition

Shout out to…

The Reader of the Week, Miss Mary McRae! I’ll be thinking about you over the holiday weekend and am super excited to be home with the family over Christmas. You not only win a free cocktail, but also a village inn pizza, which I may or may not take out of the allowance I get for the night. Love you!

Shout out to…

Also a bonus shout out to all the readers of the daylight savings times. I’m thankful you’re my friends and I’m going to pick you up next time I see you. Heather I’ll see you at Christmas for some holiday pizza and tacos.

Lately I’m thinking…

“Buzz I’m going through all your stuff, you better come out and pound me”. Yep, Home Alone season starts tomorrow! I’ll be taking the dvd and my kansas snuggie with me to the Klitz residence – who wants to hang out? “Ma’am, I’m eight years old. You think I would be here alone? I don’t think so.”

This is really interesting…

I just seriously made up a joke – i’m going to try it out here – Q: How do you cook a parrot? A: Make sure you pre-parrot first with glaze and stuffing. Get it? “prepare it” HAHHA personally i’ve laughed out loud 3 times in a row

The Soapbox:

Have a safe and fun thanksgiving everyone! (RHYME ALERT bee boo bee boo) Wow who knew, all i had to do (rhyme) was switch the safe and fun around and i’d have a rhyme every time (rhyme).   Go Huskies

Shout out to…

The new Reader of the Week – Jon “JB” Brown!! Jon is married to the lovely Stacie Brown who it appears might have failed to change her maiden name, we might never know. JB is a fellow ‘how i met your mother’ fan and is rooting for a big Bobcat victory this weekend – Congrats on your free cocktail and instant fame

This is really interesting…

Seems like times they are a changing. I used to attend the CAT-griz games in person, then when i moved I would go to sluggers with a bunch of people at like 9 in the morning. Now it seems nobody I know is going to sluggers, so I’m probably going to a bobcat satellite bar in Renton with…..2 of my mom’s friends – at least 1 of whom can probably party harder than me. Oh well, I might just wear the bobcat suit there, tie one one and call it a day

This is really interesting…

We’re basically putting Seeley through private school

Shout out to…

Everyone attending the game tomorrow and everyone watching it on TV – I hope to be in touch. Temporary anti-shout out to mitch who is on his way to cabo….jerk. You’re going to be the tannest guy at the village inn buffet of christmas!

The Soapbox:

Have a fun and safe weekend everyone!! Go Cats!! RARRR!

Shout out to…

This week’s (and the first) Reader of the Week Sweepstake Winner: Mitchell Thompson!! Mitch lives in Billings with his lovely wife Lisa and their dog snowpuff. He enjoys village inn buffets with Blade and Ave F gang parties. Fun Facts: We went to every school together (one year apart) and found out at a family reunion we’re distant cousins or something. Our parents also went to school together. Hopefully you won this far enough in advance that you’ll forget I owe you a cocktail by Christmas break.

This is really interesting…

BLOGGGG!!!! I started a blog – mostly to save gadget updates, but hopefully for some other good stuff too. Click here to see it. You’ll find the last 2 months or so on there which is when i started saving them – unfortuntely even looking back they’re still not that funny. Anyways, I’m still going to update the gadget every day, obvs to the max!

This is really interesting…

It’s Friday the 13th! Is it just me or does that happen all the time? When I was young I thought it was the craziest ‘what are the chances’ thing in the world. Now i’m pretty sure it happens every other Friday – at least. Regardless, I’m going to try and do something crazy today – maybe try to catch that squirrel i’ve been meaning to catch.

Currently watching…

College Basketball is officially kicking off this weekend – wow! college bball, college football and nfl action. Steph’s requests for another TV should skyrocket over the next couple months. Actually, I may make a chart of it if i’m not too busy watching college basketball all the time. Whoa, i just realized how late in the year it is – even hearing tanner point that out didn’t register at the time. I need a Christmas list or something! (btw my mom already sent me hers…)

The Soapbox:

Have a fun and safe weekend everyone!! Check back next Friday for a new edition of Reader of the Week – everyone’s a winner!
