The Beatles

I'm not sure which Beatles I like better: the younger version with a sense of humor
,
or the older, more serious version

2 dr. appointments last Friday.

I had 2 doctor appointments on Friday. (Luckily, I have pretty good insurance.) One was for my shoulder and the other was for my hernia. I broke my shoulder more than 10 years ago and it's given me trouble ever since. I finally had some new x-rays taken. Gotta wait and see... The hernia appointment was something else altogether. I got my goods inspected intimately and thoroughly, twice, by 2 different doctors. The 2nd doc, with one hand cupping my manhood, noticed the tattoo on my leg and had to take in Sean Wyatt's handiwork. I was sweating bullets. Anyway, the 1st doc thought he felt something, but the 2nd didn't. Not for a lack of effort. sheesh. We had a long discussion about possibilities, afterward. We decided that we should wait on surgery until something proves to be more evident. In the meantime, after a long day on my feet and lifting the occasional 50lb box full of records, I'm feeling like this:

I'm sure those in the know, know what I'm talking about. I really want to get back to feeling like this:

Anyway, I have return visit scheduled in 3 months. Anyone moving or need someone to carry any heavy boxes? If I'm to be groped like that again, I want it to be fruitful, not efforts futile. Man, I feel like a wimp. I have Kaiser to thank for the handy and informative pamphlet that provided the helpful illustrations used in this post. Again, I apologize for such a long blog post. (LC)

Badass or Bad Attitude?

Since we're kind of on the subject still...

...who ever thought this would still be around? HOMEPAGE

Great advice

I haven't watched it yet,

It's logical.

To not return your shopping cart to a proper shopping cart disposal location, but leave it in the parking lot is nothing but laziness. (LC)

Fact:

I've never scored a touchdown in any football game that mattered. Straight up truth. (LC)

Insincerity

No one wants to hear about how you're really doing. From here on out, whenever someone asks, I'll just say, "I'm having the best day of my life! Never been better."

Katy Perry

My daughter likes Katy Perry. I tell ya, I kinda like her too, just in a different way than an 8 year old girl likes her.

(Bug)

I just found out the other day that Wymans hates this band.

lame.

It's too tough for me to pick a favorite singer, and it would be too easy to go with Hank or Keith. So here's some with Dez. The greatest punk band ever, in my book anyway. A bit of a stretch? Probably. I don't care! (LC)

Badass or Bad Attitude?

I caught K.Y. watching this today.

Weird.

I don't really get the appeal. Am I missing something? (LC)

Technology

I wasted the whole evening trying to get my internet to work. Got a new modem, and called the cable company. I yelled at my dogs, too. That must have done the trick because it works now. Nothing to blog about at the moment, though. (LC)

This makes me happy.

I love food.

Here's the thing: Man, I love to eat, but I settle for pizza way too much. Know what I'm talking about? (LC)

Burnt out.

I know it's impossible, but sometimes I feel like I've checked out everything worth while on the internet. I need to find some new websites to look at. (LC)

You can always tell who has the day off by driving behind them. (LC)

OCCUPY Everyday Music

This sign was stuck to a phone pole across the street from my work:

We suspect it was a dude who claimed he forgot his a Kiss box set here after we made an offer too low for it. To cut a long story short, the dude went to the glass case where we keep some box sets, saw a Kiss box set and said it was his. We didn't give it to him. We have documented proof (dates and signatures) that it isn't his. The dude got mad and said he would stand outside our store and protest. Shucks. People were camping downtown in protest and all we got was a dumb cardboard sign.

Just to set the record straight: Everyday Music does not "steel" from people who bring their crappy, scratched-up, Garth Brooks CDs (that most likely skip, and were pulled out of a dumpster). Everyday Music pays for that trash and takes a loss. We will make an offer on just about any CD, DVD, Blu-Ray, VHS, LP, cassette, and 8-track (no burned cds, dvds, or copied cassettes)(all must have cases and artwork). It probably won't be for very much, though. A lot of this garbage will never sell. The company has a whole warehouse full of it. People get mad when we pay then a nickel for a VHS copy of E.T. then price it at 2 bucks. That's just business, honey. We'll pay you to give us your trash.

My rant is done. I apologize for the long post.

p.s. Everyday Music is having a box set sale starting on Wednesday through the weekend. 25% off used box sets! (LC)

Whiners.

Las Vegas seems like a great place for a football game, among other things. I've never had a bad time there. (LC)

Album Review

I finally listened to LULU today. It seems to me that these guys are getting a lot of undeserved hate. (LC)

I have a few questions.

Why do some people slap the crosswalk button multiple times? Is that supposed to make the light change faster? Does it work? I mean, it doesn't really seem to. The people who do it just look stupid. I usually just push it once. Maybe twice if I feel that the electronics didn't get it, to be safe. If slapping the button multiple times does make the light change faster, then I'll start doing it too. Know what I mean? (LC)

Yep.

I'm THAT jerk today. (LC)

Did you see the 26lb gummy bear?

$149 if you're thinking about a holiday gift for me. Here!

Steve Jobs' legacy.

Some dude shot this with iphone in his 20ft dingy.

Pretty sweet. I would like to have seen some teeth in the video, though. That's my only criticism. (LC)

Guitars

I hate acoustic guitars. Except maybe Willie Nelsons. End of story. (Bug)

PDX taxi drivers are terrible.

It's gotta be a requirement for the job to suck at driving. I wish I had the vocabulary to expound more. (LC)
