You know those red lights on radio towers? Someone has to change those light bulbs. This is the view of a tower climber at the top of the KJCK-FM (Power Hits 97.5) tower, 600 feet in the air (click for large image).

American Gladiators showed up on my DVR – new season, baby! Here’s the episode description: A single mother takes on a Chernobyl survivor; a store owner battles with a carpenter. This Chernobyl survivor better be deformed. Update: No visible deformation. It’s a 2-hour episode. Is that necessary? I have no problem completely shutting off my…
Five reasons to be pissed: 1. We had a late soccer game against douchebags, and next week’s game is later. 2. One of the sucky episodes from the later seasons of Seinfeld is on. 3. I’m out of hard drive space and need more immediately. 4. My WordPress install runs slow, and it’s probably one…
It’s called Men’s “C” league for a reason. Douchebags.

I love how this turned out. If you’re reading this through a news reader, you might need watch the video at my homepage.
I setup an account at Animoto, pointed it to a photo set on Flickr (you can also upload photos from your computer), picked a song, and five minutes later this came out. You can make 30-second videos like this using your own music or Animoto’s decent selection. Extended length and downloadable videos are three bucks…
I’ve been using Twitter a lot the last week. I setup my account a year ago and never used it. Twitter keeps getting more and more buzz, so I decided to give it the full embrace. I love it. Now, I will try to convert you. Twitter asks “What are you doing?” Then, you answer…
Mike and I went to PJ’s Bistro in Manitou Springs for lunch Friday. The food was good, but the place was empty. They advertised catering services and had no fountain drinks on tap, so they must specialize in catering. Mike’s $2 can of Coke seemed to disappoint from where I was sitting. Our waitress was…
An epic battle between my roommates’ dog Barry and a terrifying beetle.
Celebrate, Hillary Haters! I was following the primaries online tonight. Things were getting intense and I had to violate my “no cable news” rule. “Hillary Clinton will not have any public events Wednesday” is on MSNBC. Big news day Wednesday. Obama did some amazing things in Indiana and North Carolina. By the way, Chris Matthews…
My drive to Colorado had all kinds of exceptional sights. 1. A portable crapper strapped to a truck I didn’t have much confidence in the strap holding this porta-pottie. I quickly moved into a different lane and passed with vigor. I didn’t want to pick human waste off the front of my car before I…

I’m sick of all the superdelegate talk. Here’s a typical superdelegate Internet or TV conversation: If the superdelegates steal the nomination from Obama, it will destroy the Democratic Party. It’s a fair argument, but this scenario won’t happen unless Obama and his pastor tag-team a 14-year-old at a polygamist compound. Don’t worry paranoid Obama supporters,…
I’ve been playing around with Pandora for the last week or two. Pandora lets you create multiple Internet radio stations. You start by entering an artist or song you like. Pandora will play similar artists and learn your tastes as you “Thumbs Up” or “Thumbs Down” songs. You can add more artists to your station…
I went to the Kansas City Roller Warriors Saturday night with Heather, Amanda and their Chris Cakes brethren. I haven’t attended too many odder things. Popping a squat? I’ve seen Roller Derby on TV before, but never in person. This guy needs to be available for rentals I couldn’t make out any faces from where…
The Royals improved to 1-5 in games with me in attendance, thanks to Friday’s Buck Night game. If you aren’t familiar, the Royals sell hot dogs, small sodas and peanuts for a dollar on Buck Nights. Hot dog wrappers flew onto the field. The grounds crew got to play “Janitor.” Here are some loud jackasses…

We got free tickets to the Royals doubleheader last night. Geoff, Kevin, Dan and I hung out in the parking lot for the first half of the first game before going inside. My camera took a bit of a beating last night. After I took the above shot, I tried to take a timed shot…
I went to my third Royals game of the year last night. The Royals are 0-3 in games with me in attendance. They’ve lost five in a row. Last night’s game was particularly rough. Cleveland beat the Royals 15-1. The good news is I have a douchebag usher to tell you about. The Douche Usher…
I have a difficult time parting with expired milk. I have about two glasses worth of milk that expired four days ago. Usually, I notice the expiration date approaching and will finish the gallon no later than two days after expiration. I’ve never known this two-day-expired milk to taste/digest questionably. I should have seen this…
Stephen Hawking, badass: “If the human race is to continue for another million years, we will have to boldly go where no one has gone before.” Hawking compared people who don’t want to spend money on human space exploration to those who opposed the journey of Christopher Columbus in 1492. “The discovery of the New…
I don’t know why, but OG George Bush with his mammoth tarpon catch is a disturbing picture. Am I the only one who tried to look up Bush’s shorts?
From my blog in November: Almost five million Totino’s and Jeno’s frozen pizzas with pepperoni toppings are being recalled because the pepperoni may be contaminated with E. coli. Tonight, when I loaded my supreme Totino’s Party Pizza into the oven, I noticed a change on the package. Yes, Totino’s assures the quality of this fine…
I find this banner from washingtonpost.com a bit beyond stupid. “Pope Watch” reminds me of this Onion article on Catholics lining up for Pope John Paul II’s funeral before he was even close to dying. “I don’t know how much longer I’ll have to wait, but whether it’s five days or five months, it’ll be…
Unless something epic happens in there soon, this will be my last post about restrooms for awhile. Promise. A restaurant that has a sign like the one below has employees that don’t wash their hands. That is all.
Royals pitcher Brian Bannister shares AL Player of the Week with former Royal Raul Ibanez. Bannister was the AL’s rookie of the month last year in June and August, but this is his first award as AL player of the week. He is 3-0 overall with an 0.86 ERA. Posnanski reminds us of his hatred…
The last week for this blog has been all about toilets, the Royals, toilets at Royals games, and today it’s about toilets at bars while watching the Royals. Unlike recent years, I’m not in a position to talk about the Royals being in the toilet, so that theme will thankfully have to wait. We went…
We went to the Royals game Saturday night. It was cold. We tailgated three hours before the game. Highlights – A very obese, yet not quite Mangino-sized, man tailgated 50 yards away. He wore navy blue sweatpants and a matching sweatshirt. – We were at the game three hours early, yet didn’t get in early…
I went to my first Royals game of the year tonight. My goal for the year is 20 games, so if you’re in the KC metro and hankering for some Royals, hit me up. It was a good time. That new HD scoreboard is pretty sweet. They throw lots of information up there. It’ll take…
