Things done in Hot Buns Pants

Lets see as Eric better known as Hot Buns has given some of us Hawaiian Print pants as a going away present and I love to wear these pants because Hot Buns is a cool dude and it was a good idea and it is an extension of who we are , Monday night Kahuna Hashers.

So far the fore mentioned pants have played four games of soccer accumulating 1 win and 3 losses, have sent some wild shots off the framework with only one goal recorded. These pants have run the Monday night hash when asked to and even made it to a wedding in Maui where I forgot that Hot Buns had actually autographed the pants.

When I was in grad school I simply did not have my act together. I really liked this girl named Kathy and I think she knew it. I was going through a tough time and she invited me over to her place for dinner. I was really excited as we always had friends around and I was excited to spend a quiet evening with JUST her.

It was a Thursday night and I showed up right on time and she looked like she was up for a great evening. We both talked about different things and she asked me if I was ready for dinner. She seemed quite excited about what she had prepared. I blindly commented that it smelled great. So she sauntered out into the dining room with a cookie tin full of Fish Sticks. They weren't even the deluxe fish sticks but rather the little ones we always had on Fridays in the eight grade cafeteria. I was not to be deterred as this was going to be a good night.

Despite the fish sticks we had a great conversation and we were a bit flirty. She asked me if I would like to watch television. I said why not. We sat on the sofa and started watching television and then I heard a knock on the door and the door opened. It was my friends who were always around. We always seemed to hang around in groups.

I was frustrated but, hey life goes on. I said hello to EED (he, a PHD student, couldn't spell ED) and Jeff and we exchanged quizzical looks as I headed to the bathroom. As I was going to the bathroom I noticed Kathy's Red and White shorts hanging on the towel rack and thought nothing more of it.

I grabbed a beer and sat next to Kathy to continue watching the show.  The next thing I know EEEED (with an extra E this time) heads into the bathroom and after a few minutes EEEED comes out of the bathroom wearing Kathy's shorts.

I sat there in stunned silence and I could see Kathy slowly turning red and she was mad. I mean she was really mad. It reminded me of a volcano.

She was fuming and walked over to EEEEd and stated quite loudly.

ED please "TAKE OF MY SHORTS".

Of course EEED replied "Why certainly Kathy" (she was wearing shorts).

And at this point chivalry was all gone because dumb old me ended up laughing my eyes out and I was promptly sent home with fish sticks on my breath.

Meth smoker tells Kitsap deputies of lost wallet.

Monday, July 26, 2010
PORT ORCHARD, Wash. (AP) -- A Suquamish woman called the Kitsap County sheriff's office to complain about a friend with whom she had been smoking methamphetamine.
The woman said Saturday that her friend failed to return a wallet that had been left to secure a $15 loan to buy more drugs.
The Kitsap Sun reports the friend denied doing drugs and allowed deputies to search her home. They did not find the wallet. No one was arrested.

============

I have no idea have no idea who decided to report this and it was reported in a few different web sites.Kind of reminds me of the poor traffic reporter up in his helicopter saying "No backups of any kind to report". You can all go home now or even a Seattle Sounders game.

avocado

So yesterday through the magic of texting Dad asks me how to prepare an avalcado (sic)
The conquering of the avocado is later. (Its a really boring day at work).

Right now I am going to be proactive as I see Dad as being adventurous since he went out and bought an
avocado i foresee him also making pesto.
2 cups fresh basil leaves, packed

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup Olive oil
3 tablespoons pine nuts or walnuts
3 garlic cloves, finely minced

Place basil leaves in small batches in food processor and whip until well chopped (do about 3/4 cup at a time). Add about 1/3 the nuts and garlic, blend again.

Add about 1/3 of the Parmesan cheese; blend while slowly adding about 1/3 of the olive oil, stopping to scrape down sides of container.
Process basil pesto it forms a thick smooth paste. Repeat until all ingredients are used, mix all batches together well. Serve over pasta. Basil pesto keeps in refrigerator one week, or freeze for a few months.


Start with a ripe avocado and cut it lengthwise around the seed. (NOTE: Thoroughly wash the fruit before you peel it.)


Rotate the halves to separate.
Remove the seed by sliding the tip of a spoon gently underneath it and lifting it out. The other common seed-extraction method -- striking the seed with a knife -- is dangerous and not recommended.
Peel the fruit by placing the cut side down and removing the skin with a knife or your fingers, starting at the small end. Or simply scoop out the avocado meat with a spoon. Be sure to sprinkle all cut surfaces with lemon or lime juice or white vinegar to prevent discoloration.

And this case of whacked off off Suburbanites

And this case of whacked off off Suburbanites

Wash. (AP) - A 17-year-old testified that he had sex with a teacher in the back seat of her pickup truck in a Kmart parking lot in Yakima.

The teen testified Tuesday in Yakima County Superior Court that he had received a text message from Michele Taylor to meet him in May of last year and that she pulled him into the back seat.

Taylor is a 31-year-old physical education teacher at East Valley High School. She's charged with sexual misconduct and immoral communication with a minor.

The Yakima Herald-Republic reports that Taylor's husband, Kevin Taylor, is expected to be the first defense witness. He's also an East Valley physical education teacher. In the courthouse Monday he wore a T-shirt that read, "I love my wife

You have to admire the loyalty simplicity of the husband. Something leads me to believe his tee shirt was from a movie he saw at the cini-plex (sic). I would not be surprised if the boy showed up in court with a tee-shirt that reads, "I love his wife" and she shows up in court with a tee-shirt that reads I am with stupid with arrows pointing in many directions.

It always comes down to a pickup truck.

World Cup Preview

Germany is in the midst of the biggest trophy drought in the country’s history. Even worse, today’s roster is perhaps the shortest on talent in decades. To make up for that, Germany has a somewhat clear route to the quarterfinals. But then they’ll have to defeat three other biggies to win it all. I wouldn’t expect more than one such victory out of this Germany.


Italy - Fabio Cannavaro is back, and so is Marcello Lippi, he of those fabulous frames. Will they bring back the chemistry that made them defending champions? I’m not so sure. The whole thing smacks a tad of Sex and the City 2 – everyone looks much, much older, and not as, well, fabio as they once were.

Brazil – every Kaká needs to go Pipí once in a while. But then he comes back, zips up, shoots and scores. He is the man with the plan. Smart money is on Brazil this time.

Team Beer - ChesterClusterF*ck can score from anywhere. Deep Throat runs circles around Caca. DoubleMint Cum excels on the Give and Go. Rear Entry swats everything away, Brazil fears Matt, Italy would pay the 12 million trnasfer fee for Ann Riddle. Mike knows 11 languages and scores in six, Pull It Out is a South African sensation.  I expect this team to battle with the Germans for the cup.

England - no Beckham and no Sven means a new England. Any Englishman worth his salt (and that’s any Englishman, full stop) will tell you that England won once, in 1966, at home. He will also tell you that outside of that tournament, England has never knocked out a contender. Ever. Is this new England new enough to buck that trend? Not bloody likely.

France - the latest news out of that camp is that Henry, their disgraced geriatric striker, is losing his starting spot to someone nicknamed Le Sulk. Ouch. I mean, aïe!

Argentina – look, the emperor has no brain! But is he really the emperor? It’s hard to believe anyone would put a washed-up buffoon who’s been in and out of rehab, the bad kind, for the last 15 years, in charge of the most talented squad in the tournament. Perhaps they don’t need a coach? Well, 4 years ago and tactical slip by the coach cost Argentina a spot in the semifinals. This can’t end well.

Spain – how can Spain stumble? Oh, let me count the ways – vs. Portugal in the round of 16, vs. Italy in the quarterfinals, etc., etc. The amazing thing is that maybe, just maybe they won’t this time. Maybe.

Holland – on game-days, I wear orange, hop on my Dutch bike and ride to the pub. I’ve been such a devoted fan of the Dutch for so long, I think I’m worthy of at least an honorary citizenship. Instead, the Amsterdam City Hall keeps hounding me about a 2-year-old parking ticket, while the team loses, consistently, albeit spectacularly (remember the Battle of Nuremberg?) This time will be different, of course. You just wait and see.

Portugal – last but not least, we have Portugal. Actually, they kind of are least. Cristiano Ronaldo is a spectacularly talented kid. He’s been one for 25 years. It’s time to bring home some bacon. It’s now or never. I’m leaning towards never.

Phil is Not So Bright

German tradition holds that if a hibernating animal sees its shadow on Feb. 2 — the Christian holiday of Candlemas — winter will last another six weeks. If no shadow is seen, legend says spring will come early.

The crazy Germans are looking at the sun and the shadow and everything they think Phil is seeing.  So they are interpreting what they think Phil sees.  Kind of like when my wife and I are watching something and she says did you see that. And in some (most) cases I did not. Much like Phil whom is staring past the old hat   and could give a Beavers butt how many weeks are left in Winter.

The weather is going to what it does with or with out Phil.

Actually Germans in hats are crazy.

The Winco Freak Show Lite

Car Full of Cans

We get into the parking lot at Winco yesterday and parked next to us was a guy with a car full of beer cans. I believe it was a K car. BeerCanGuy was neither finely groomed or faintly aromatic but looked rhe part of a Winco Can Guy.   So BeerCanGuy decides to sit there and play with the beer cans, or sort them I have no idea what he was doing but he was up to his neck in beer cans...Of course he had his driver side door open all the while as he was dropping assorted f-bombs.in his struggle with the cans.

Which Blocked My Wifes Way Out of the Car

So I kindly and maybe stupidly asked  BeerCanGuy if he could close the door so my wife could get out of the car.  Hes answer was a polite "Fuc* Sorry about that". The rest of the shopping trip went with out incident.

Measure 66 and 67

Its the right thing to do. The "No team" skews statistics which are understandable, but really is paying a little more than 10.00 going to bring a business to it knees. I pay more to have an alarm in my house.

Quote

So why would someone like me support a tax like this? Because it's fair. Most companies in Oregon depend on our public schools and higher-ed  institutions to produce the kind of smart, high-functioning employees we want to hire. The future of our state's economy depends on critical investments in our K-12 schools, community colleges and universities today. And I know that bringing millions of dollars into our state's economy will keep local businesses  thriving. 

  The teachers in Oregon have been taking the full brunt of this collasal down turn in the economy. More specifically  the real victims are the students that must endure larger class sizes and I assume a demotivated  teacher who has seen these cuts many times before.

In 2007, the most recent year for which statistics are available for both individuals and corporations, total corporate income tax liability was $413.2 million and total individual income tax liability was $5.6 billion. The huge disparity between individual and corporate taxes results from the different ways in which the two groups are taxed.

Corporations are only taxed on their profits and us individuals are taxed on everything we earn.

For those who do not know.

Measure 66 is a tax on individuals making alot of money.
Measure 67 is a tax on coorporations
