  • A couple of things I forgot to mention from the other day. Mark brought over a cucumber from his garden. He handed it to me and like the jack ass I am, I started to swing it like it was a baseball bat. Well, I'm thinkin it wasn't the best quality cucumber around because not only did it break in half, but the top of it swung of and nearly hit Mark in the head before hitting the wall and falling to the floor. Could it be that I don't know my own strength?

    Later on on the way home from baseball, Mark and I stopped off at 7-Eleven to pick up some Gatorade. Mark had driven and I told him that I would buy if he flies, meaning if he went in to get the Gatorade I would pay for it. He agreed and went in to get the Gatorade. About 10 seconds after he closed the car door I realized that not only had he taken keys but for some reason he rolled up the windows too. Now keep in mind that it was over 90 degrees out on Monday so inside that car it was probably over 100 degrees. And sure, I was only in the car for at the most 5 minutes but it still got pretty damn toasty in there which was made worse by the fact that I had been outside playing baseball for 3 hours. Still it was pretty funny that he would do that, but I did say to him that I hope he doesn't do that to the kids!

    So have you heard about this story? Since Barack Obama was having his speech outside last week, the conservative so called "Christian" group Focus on the Family had a video posted on their website asking for people to prey (yes, I intentionally spelled it prey instead of pray) and ask God to send down "abundant rain, torrential rain, urban and small stream flood advisory rain" upon Obama and his supporters.  They later took the video down and issued an an apology but not to Obama or the democrats, but just to the "Christian" viewers who thought the video was wrong. You can watch both here:

    What a smug, arrogant fuckwad this guy is. Of course as we all know, the weather was fine for Obama and the Democrats. Now in one of those utterly delicious cases of irony (or maybe it was karma or divine intervention if you believe in any of that who-hah) a hurricane complete with "abundant rain, torrential rain, urban and small stream flood advisory rain" and worse hits the gulf coast and causes the Republicans to cancel the first day of their convention.

    Isn't that just so funny that I really don't need to write anymore about it, except to ask that dope in the video if  maybe his God sent the hurricane to punish him.
