The boys never emptied and dried the cooler after the ski trip to the lake last week. I am afraid to open it and see what is growing in there.
Bad, bad ham(p?)sters.
Making me think I hadn’t posted
It’s amazing what will grow when you allow it. In college, I grew some seriously weird new life form in a bottle of apple juice. named him Fred. I don’t know what kind of thing he was, but I never saw mice in my dorm after that.
Fred Mertz kicked ass. He shoulda got rid of Ethyl though. He would have been a lot happier. Poor guy was always getting caught up in some scheme or another.

There used to be High Test and Ethyl gas. Couldn’t all be from that one Ethyl, could it?
I once knew a gal named Ethel. No offence to anyone on the board, but it’s not really a very good name. Then again, it’s no “Englebert”.
Englebert…that reminds me of Princess Bride. Now THAT was a good movie.

My name is Jon. Well, actually it’s John, but I kinda like to feel like I’m not an outsider.
I am an outsider because… well, I am outside. Often.
Except when I’m inside.
So far I’ve seen at least 8 threads about the power outage in the northeast.
Have you seen those underground houses? Guess you’d save a fortune in heating and cooling costs, but can you imagine looking out the windows and seeing nothing but rock?
As mentioned before, my family room is underground. It does have trouble staying heated, but it’s always cool in the summer.
I’m going on a fishing (/drinking) trip with my family, in 9 hours. My Dad, Uncle, a cousin (from here,) and a cousin from Richmond. We might drink some beer too!
I was fishing once when I was a little kid.
I have indigestion.

I was reading an article about monsters today in PARABOLA magazine. The author said that in mythology monsters are the children of Chaos, and they serve a purpose - to remind us of the ever-present danger of Chaos. Sort of like how a thread can go along nicely and suddenly get hijacked.

Chaos describes my kitchen so well right now. I am such a guy. the other day, I needed to dry a dish, and since I didnt have a clean dish towel handy, I used my shirt.
Ewwww.
Up until yesterday, there were dirty dishes in my bedroom.
