Jury Duty

I've lived in Portland for 7 years and have been summoned for jury duty 3 times.  My awesome ex-boss got me out of it the 1st time.  I showed up the 2nd time.  I wasn't picked so I got to leave early.  Maybe I'll get picked this time.  I'll tweet updates if I do...just joking. I think this may have been brought up before somewhere, but why don't they pick the dudes just hanging out, collecting unemployment for jury duty first?  Please don't take this the wrong way.  I'm all for people collecting unemployment when they have to, 'cause shit happens.  Seriously though, the government is giving them a helping hand, they should help out the government.  Sorry, I don't mean to sound like a Communist or something. Besides, these dudes most likely have the spare time...maybe I'll wear sweatpants...maybe I'll tell them I'm a woman breast-feeding a child and get out of it...c'mon, they probably wouldn't fall for it if I told them I'm a dude breast-feeding a child.  Here's Jan Hammer bangin' out a killer jam:

If I owned a bar...

If I owned a bar, it would have an awesome jukebox.  What is it, 3 songs for a dollar?  Well, on that jukebox would be Sleep-Dopesmoker.  Mainly because I just wouldn't want paying customers to feel ripped off.

Fads

To be honest with you, I've put on some extra pounds the past few months.  I recognize that this is not the kind of growth spurt I should be having.  Let me put it this way, I'm not proud of my current figure.  So, the other day, I thought I would take a pro-active approach and try Jared's diet.  I WALKED to the Subway around the corner from my work and ordered a foot-long pulled-pork sandwich on wheat with extra bbq sauce.  I'm skeptical...speaking of Subway, I heard something today, and I don't know if it's true or not, but it's still worth mentioning.  I heard that Subway is now the largest food chain in the world.  Bigger than McDonalds, believe it or not.  Jared better be getting more than free foot-longs for the rest of his life, 'cause if this sucker fell for it...well, you know.

fun with words

Some words are funny to say. For example, say this word out loud: TAINT. here's Glenn Frey (pronounced "fry"): (LC)
