If you’re a regular reader of the blog here (and probably even if you’re not a regular reader), you’ll know that I’m a big fan of Kevin Smith. Not only do I enjoy his movies, but his books, his podcast, Twitter, etc. I’ve often said that he’s the modern day George Carlin for the way he weaves words and that’s the biggest compliment that I can give him. Speaking of Carlin, one of the things that sets him apart in my mind is his stand up routine. If you’re a fan of Carlin’s stand up routines, you… Continue reading
Event: WrestleMania XI Date: April 2, 1995 Venue: Hartford Civic Center (Hartford, Connecticut) Attendance: 16,305
The opening montage talks about the special guest stars that will be in attendance at the event including Pamela Anderson, Jenny McCarthy, etc. Looking like the WWF is starting to REALLY branch out into “sports entertainment” at this point. We get a Special Olympian’s rendition of America The Beautiful. She’s over singing BIG time complete with the waggle in her voice. I don’t care if she’s “special” – she sucks.
The Allied Powers (Lex Luger and The British Bulldog) defeated The Blu Brothers (Jacob… Continue reading
This past weekend we had our annual family clam bake at my cousin’s house in Pennsylvania. I’m happy to report that unlike last year, the weather completely cooperated and we had an AWESOME day. As per tradition, we had 20+ dozen clams, hamburgers, hot dogs, corn, potatoes, shrimp, home made ice cream and beer.
Early in the afternoon, I was hanging out on the porch talking with my cousin and G was poking around down in the yard near the cooler. I heard him calling for me so I paused from my conversation and asked him what he wanted to… Continue reading
I realized this evening that there was something missing from the 406 site… 2010 Beeramid pictures! I simply cannot believe that I let this slip. I mean come on Chewie, you can’t post the recap and then NOT post the pics right???
I dug through my emails from Pip and my files on the hard drive and managed to find them. I don’t have time to crop and post them all tonight, but I figured I’d give just a little taste of what you can expect once they’ve been posted (will probably be early next week).
As you can see,… Continue reading
Like just about everyone out there, I’m always looking to find an extra buck and I’m concerned about the financial future of my family. To that end, I decided to get a better look at my total financial picture and signed up for Mint.com. If you’re not familiar with Mint, it’s a site that allows you to securely pull in all of your account information so that you’ve got an at a glance view of your finances. This includes your credit cards, mortgages, loans, debts, etc. In concept it’s a great idea. Unfortunately, Mint.com can’t get their shit together.… Continue reading
If there’s one universal rule when taking pictures at a wedding (especially as the night goes on) it’s that there is always (at least) one person in the photo that is “that guy”. In this one we’ve actually got two options.
The first that jumps out is Dark… not much else to say when you’re the dude in the photo LICKING someone else.
But don’t overlook Gookins… the look is priceless and definitely is in the running for being “that guy” in this particular photo.
And you know what’s really cool? Pip’s wedding is in a few short months. I’m… Continue reading
The Mint.com Saga Continues
I’m not sure how I get myself into these long, drawn out sagas. If you read my recent post about Mint.com, then you know I’m none too happy with them these days. Just thought I’d give you a bit of an update.
At the tail end of that post, I’d received a follow up email from Mint thanking me for my message. A couple of days later, I got this gem:
