That is, what I am planning to do this weekend, now that I don't get to pretend to be 21 again for two weeks.
-Hanging blinds.
-Eating dinner at my parent's house.
-Drinking and watching the Packer game in the back yard with my neighbors
-Going for a run.
-Possibly going on a date with my wife.
-Playing video games.
-Watching TV.
-Surfing the Internets for funny Hitler videos
-Cleaning.
-Sleeping.
-Going to bed before 3 a.m.
-Yard work.
I would probably be dead/divorced if I got black out drunk for a fifth straight weekend, so it might not be too bad.

Ken Macha is an Elephant
Because he never forgets. Three months after the cheap fastball between the shoulder blades from Jeff Karstens to Ryan Braun, what are the odds that Karstens will come to the plate as a hitter? As a reliever? It matters not to Ken Macha, who clearly ordered a code red in the form of a fastball to the back of Karstens. Fucking loved it. Will there be repercussions tonight?
IN OTHER NEWS
-The Twins fucking melted down. Which is nice.
-Jack Nicholson is either senile, or should stick to basketball, or both. I saw hit on SportsCenter this morning at a Phillies-Cubs game, wearing a Yankees hat. What the fuck? Dude, first of all, you live in LA. Shouldn't you be at a Dodger or Angel game? Second of all, I don't have a problem with going to a random game elsewhere, but do you think you could have either a) just combed your fucking hair or b) wore a plain hat or c) wore a Phillies hat? There is no way you are even a Yankee fan. You are just wearing it to "look cool". Nothing pisses me off more than to see someone at a Brewer-Cub game with a Pirates hat on. Or at a Packer-Panther game with a Bears jersey on (saw it this year). Fucking either go to your team's game, or tone it down. There should be a rule that you are automatically ejected from the premises if you have random team apparel on.

Non-Football Weekend
It really, really sucks that there is no football on this weekend. I guess I will just have to live with what is actually on today. There is Wisconsin at #21 Illinois on ESPN. There is Creighton hosting Drake via stick figures going to back and forth on the computer screen. UW will lose by at least 10. CU should win, but they have been so Jekyll and Hyde this year, it wouldn't surprise me if they lost.
Tonight, we have my wife's "holiday party" (yeah, it is almost February). It is going to suck balls. This will be our third one at this company, and the last two are awful. The people are boring. The booze are not provided. It is being held at the place where we had our wedding reception, The Riverside Ballroom in Green Bay. For those who were there, you remember that their all you can eat chicken dinner is prepared in heaven and flown down on a chariot made of chocolate and feathers, and driven my seventy brown eyed virgins. In other words, it is really good. Of course, her stupid fucking company is not having the chicken dinner. They are having some other fancy ass food. I'm sure it will be fine, but it is not chicken dinner. The one change this year is that they are having one of those gay, corporate "casino nights". I'm not really sure what it entails, but I'm guessing they have some table games set up, and they give you some fake chips, and you must win some prize for having alot of chips. As I'm hoping to end this night as quickly as possible, I plan to take all my chips, go to the roulette wheel, and put everything on black. If I lose, great, if I win, great. I don't give a shit.
RANDOM RENTAL MOVIE REVIEW:
I can to the decision that I am finally going to get Netflix. We don't rent all that many movies, but last night we decided to head over to Blockbuster and get a couple. We rented 2 Blu-Rays and it was more than $10 for 2 fucking nights. You've gotta be kidding me. Meanwhile, as long as you don't care if you only have one movie at a time (which, to be honest, is plenty at my house since I don't really have time to watch anyway) it is only $8.99/mo, PLUS you can watch a bunch of shit online for no extra charge.
Last night we rented "Step Brothers" and "Righteous Kill". I had heard good things about Step Brothers, even though it looked fucking retarded. I'll probably watch it again to make sure, but right now I will give it 3 1/2 stars. But if it is anything like most Will Ferrell movies, you have to watch it like 3 times to appreciate it. I didn't get to "Righteous Kill" yet, but it looked OK. It was about 20 years too late to get DiNero and Pacino together, but whatever.

No Hockey for Old Men
-I tried really, really hard to make it until the end of the hockey game last night. It was a fantastic game (as far as I could tell). Its just that on a Monday night, when I was up at 6 to go to work in the morning, midnight gets to be pretty late. It fucking sucks fighting with all your might to try to stay up for something, and losing miserably. I was trying to fill my 4 hockey games per year quota, and I made it to the second OT, so counts I guess. What struck me (other than that dude that got hit in the face with the slapshots' face) was how much better Detroit was than Pittsburgh. They were so much faster, and they got off about three times as many shots, and lost. There is nothing better than OT playoff hockey. I just wish it was on earlier.
-I lost a bet yesterday. I had "when velociraptors hatch from my ass" as the date that Prince Fielder would steal third base. I also had "when running my nuts over with a lawn mower sounds like a good idea" as the date that he would steal third and get an infield single in the same game. So congrats.
-In Ned Yost news, he is still a fucking asshole. When questioned on whether he was concerned about Rickie "Windmill" Weeks and Mike "The human auger" Cameron striking out fucking 80 times between them, and batting 1st and 2nd, he responded (paraphrasing): "Russell Branyan fucking struck out 11 out of 22 at bats, so he is striking out fucking 50% of the time, but he's batting fucking .300 so nobody complains about him." Really Ned? Really? A guy could strike out 70% of the time as far as I'm concerned, but if he got a hit the other 30% of the time I would be perfectly fine. He has no argument at all and is fucking stupid. Weeks and Cameron are NOT good hitters.
-HUGE save last night. Despite their best efforts to fuck it up, Torres makes "The Committee" 7-1 v. 11-7 for Gagne. And Gagne TOTALLY would have lost that one last night.
-They call our resident ginger Seth McClung "Chucky". That is funny. He has his first two career hits off of Randy fucking Johnson.
-My wife believes that someone should bring back the term "Janky". I personally believe it is underused.
