if you can’t say anything nice…

Jun 30th, 2008 | By chewy

I know that I shouldn’t whine about nice weather, especially living in the Northwest and having grown up in SE Alaska.  However, I’m not a big fan of being sweat-rolling-off-the-nose hot when I’m just sitting or standing there, not exerting myself at all.  My forearms have that sheen of sweat that makes me look like [...]

I saw this today at DrunkCyclist.com and was inspired to write a post of my own.  Not poetry, mind you, just something inspired by what Big Jonny had to say.
I haven’t owned a motorized vehicle in 5 years.  You pretty much don’t need to own one, at least not here in Seattle.  I rarely need [...]



bland to the extreme

I just went for coffee.  I was paying for it when I heard the lady in line behind me order an iced something with 3 decaf shots.
No shit, an Iced Triple Decaf Something.
I’m confused.  Did she want a LOT of no caffeine, or was she making sure that she DIDN’T get a lot of caffeine?
Welcome [...]

It’s called the slayer siren.  I discovered it today.  You must go there now.  Turn the speakers up, or turn them down, do what you need to, but go.
Enough said.



famous quotes

Jun 18th, 2008 | By chewy

I just got off the phone. I was talking to one of my closest friends when, in closing the conversation down, he said something like this: “Alright buddy, I’ll talk to you later. In fact if I don’t call you this weekend, that’s because I’m in jail.”
Thing is, we both knew he [...]



random thoughts

1. Why is it that when you scroll through channels and you see a program where they’re fighting in a cage, it’s always two guys in the missionary position, looking like they can’t decide if they wanna fight or fuck?  I mean, latent homosexuality is one thing, and I imagine by looking at these meatheads [...]



ballard crit

Jun 13th, 2008 | By chewy

I know it’s a week after the fact, AND I know that it’s no longer called the Ballard Crit, but I also use the terms Seahawks Stadium and FRENCH fries, so eat my shorts! Maybe pommes frites, but NEVER, EVER would I use the term freedom fries, for obvious reasons.
So, back to the subject [...]

For those of you who think you know what quality is…
For those of you who only drink microbrews…
For those who turn their noses up at Rainier…

internets 1, McCain 0

Of course, you’ll never get to see it.
What the hell am I talking about? Let me tell you…
It would appear that there’s a McCain gift shop out there on the internets, and as a good little American consumer, you can buy stuff that says you’re a True Patriot!!! Awesome, huh?
Not really. All [...]

If you can pull this off, then by all means it is incumbent upon you to just sit back and let people take notice.
