Another Donovanism, Some Weather, and Other Things

Today's Chuck Norris Fact:
They were going to release a Chuck Norris edition of Clue, but the answer always turns out to be "Chuck Norris. In The Library. With a Roundhouse Kick."



So we have another Donovanism. You know that spot behind your knee? Donovan says that's your "knee-pit".



I'm getting really tired of snow. I hope it stops soon. We were blessed with a couple of very nice days earlier this week, and I'd like to see us get back to that.

Besides, no one is fixing the potholes in their streets or parking lots, and those holes are starting to eat cars whole. The sooner we quit getting snow, the sooner they'll fix those darn things up.



Just the other night I mentioned one of my guilty pleasures...you know, the things you enjoy that you know will probably shorten your life or have some other dire consequence, but you just have to do it. Convenience-store food has always been one of mine. I mentioned 7-11's Cheeseburger Big-Bites with chili on top, but there's also Jack Link's kippered beef steak, Hostess chocolate pies (same as the fruit pies, only with chocolate pudding in the middle), Nestle Quik strawberry milk, Combos (preferably Pizzeria Pretzel flavor), Corn-nuts, Bugles (especially filled with Easy Cheese)...my mouth is watering just thinking about those. I know, I know, that's really sad and will probably do more damage to my body than smoking 3 packs a day, but hey, what can I say? I like what I like.

A few more of my guilty pleasures:

1. Spaghettios -- I've heard people call these "dog food" but I could eat the stuff all day, every day. My Grandma Owens got me hooked on these when I was about 3, and I've loved them every since. I prefer with meatballs or sliced franks.

2. candystand.com -- This is a really cool site with some fun, free, no-strings-attached games, and great for taking a break at work. I highly recommend the Home Run Derby or the Lacrosse game. (Don't let the boss see you.)

3. Enjoying fights in hockey and lacrosse -- These are good, clean fights, something I don't think we get to see enough of. Besides, they're honorable; they make their arguments, prove their point, sit their 5 minutes in the box, and move on. Perfect.

4. Smoking my pipe -- I don't inhale (and no, it's not pot, either), but I still feel bad, especially when my wife has to kiss me after I've been smoking that stuff. Besides, I'm allergic to tobacco smoke, so it's probably still taking time of my life.

Hey, who wants to live forever, anyway (in this world, at least)? I'll put more down if I think of them. Feel free to comment with your own; I'd love to hear them. Thanks for reading along.
