Anybody watch the Olympics last night? I didn't. I'm sick of them, I could handle a few weeks of the meaningless competitions but how much longer is this going to drag on? I just checked, the closing ceremony is on the 24th. Awesome birthday present, the first day without nonstop beach volleyball.
For our Anniversary I got Allison's wedding ring resized and saudered to her engagement ring and I also told her she could pick out a new piece of furniture (which she hasn't done yet). We ate at the new Ruth's Chris Steakhouse. It was good....... and expensive. When we first got to our table the waiter presented us with either a bottle of sparkling water or a bottle of mineral water. Later we realized that we had to pay for the weird water, six bucks. We were country come to town. Total bill: $145. It was good, but not THAT good.
Yesterday I came home from work to find one of my comic book ripped to shreds on the floor. The night before we came home to find torn up kleenex everywhere. Now that Avery can crawl, she crawls to things that she can tear up. Its like having a puppy. Last night, she was playing with me and grabbed onto my eyelid and pulled it.
My birthday is coming up in four days. I get the day off from work. I'm just going to sit at home and do absolutely nothing all day. I'm excited.
The answer to the last entries trivia is: Lou Caruthers
Todays Trivia: In Back to the Future 3, what did Doc say that his rifle could do before he told Buford it was aimed straight for his head?
Daily (Fight with Michael) Memory: Another altercation that I had with Michael was when I was in the sixth grade. After lunch, when most of the class was in our classroom (except for our incompetent teacher) Michael was walking to his desk and there was a girl in his way. He told her "move" and she said that she wouldn't move if he was going to be mean. So he grabbed her arm and pushed her. I got out of my desk, walked up to him, and pushed him into a tall stack of desks and chairs against the wall that all came crashing down on top of him. They pinned him down so when the teacher finally came in, she had to help him get out.

Anniversary Imminent
Tomorrow marks the two year anniversary of when I first got the ole ball and chain attached to me. I got a pretty big bonus check the other day and I told Allison that she could use it all to buy some furniture or whatever for her anniversary present. I regret saying it now because I keep selfishly thinking of what I could buy with it. Oh well. No telling what shes going to get me, probably nothing (just like last year).
I don't want a dirty diaper for my birthday. Stupid poll.
The other day I was trying to empty all the crud from the vacuum cleaner and I ended up spilling all of the dust and hair on the floor. I shouted "WHAT THE HECK?" Allison was holding Avery next to me and Avery smiled and said "GA BA GA HECK!" I swear thats what she said. It freaked me out. Shes too young to be emulating me. Allison proceeded to get mad and gave me a lecture about watching my mouth around her.
The answer to last weeks trivia: "Emmett Brown Committed" (Good job Prin!)
Bonus trivia answer: "Emmett Brown Commended" (Prin failed.)
This weeks Trivia: What was the name (first and last) of the owner of the diner where Marty first met his younger dad (in 1955)?
Daily (Fight) Memory: In the sixth grade, there was this big kid named Michael that was a jerk to pretty much everybody. Remember, he was a big guy and I was a scrawny, skinny, lanky guy. I had a friend that was physically handicapped and one day in the gym Michael picked on him. After my friend told him to stop, Michael pushed him down. I walked up, got in his face and told him to back off or he'd be sorry. He then pushed me and took off running across the basketball court. I chased after him, caught up to him, and drop kicked him. He fell and made a huge loud echoing thud when he hit the wooden floor. That wasn't enough to teach him a lesson. There are many more Michael stories to tell in the coming posts.

8-8-08
Today is 8-8-08. That only happens once every bajillion years.
I just got back from lunch with Allison. We went to Mugshots (a hamburger restaurant). She ordered an appetizer for a meal and I ordered the peanut butter burger with crunchy peanut butter. I've always wondered how it was and today I finally got the guts to order it. The first bite was pretty weird tasting but it grew on me by the end. Don't know if I would order it again but it wasn't a terrible experience.
Answer to last post's trivia: Black, Green, Yellow, Red. In that order. Prin was close.
Trivia: In Back to the Future 2. On the newspaper that Doc finds in bad 1985, what does the headline say about him? Bonus: When they change history, what does the newspaper change to say about him?
Daily (Put Matt In His Place) Memory
Well since Matt was so nice in his comment, I guess I should go ahead and tell a little story about the closest I ever got to being in a fight with him. When I roomed with Matt at State, all we had to sit on in front of the TV were these two fold up chairs. Once, someone else (don't remember who) and me were sitting in these chairs. Matt came in and I guess called the dorm phone with his cell phone. He then answered the phone and said it was for me. I got up, grabbed the phone and said hello, there was nobody there. I turned around and saw Matt sitting in my chair. He tricked me. I walked over and calmly told him to get up. I grabbed his arm and pulled him up. I guess since there were other people in our room he wanted to show out so he tried to twist my arm and wrestle me down to the floor. His plan didn't go so well because I reversed his hold on me and twisted his arm until he finally said "All Right! All Right!" Then the guys in our room started laughing and one of them said "Ha Ha! I bet thats how it always happens, Matt starts something and Robert finishes it." I got my chair back too.

Post 18
I didn't post yesterday. Sorry, I wasn't particularly busy, I just didn't want to.
Let me search my brain and see what has occurred in the last two days........ not much. I found out I've lost a little over five pounds in the past week but I bet I will gain it back and then some soon.
My birthday is coming up in the next few weeks as you can see from the poll. I keep quizzing Allison on what she's going to get me and she says I have to go shopping with her. I doubt she will get me anything. Last year for our Anniversary (the 19th) I got her a diamond necklace and a trip to the beach. What did I get? Nothing. A week later (the 25th) was my birthday and what did I get? Nothing. She said her laziness was caused by her pregnancy, I think it was caused by the fact that she doesn't love me. She did end up feeling so bad about it that she got me an iPhone so....... I guess I'm over it.
A few days ago I was on my back porch with my BB gun and I saw a wasp flying around. I wondered if I could shoot it. First and second shots got close but didn't hit it. It then flew towards the back of our yard (about 25 feet away), I shot and it dropped to the ground. I was proud of myself.
Answer to last trivia: Clark JOSEPH Kent
Trivia: In Back to the Future III, what four colors of smoke came out of the train's smoke stack at the end?
Daily (Fight) Memory:
In the fifth grade, a boy in my class named Franco always picked on my friend, Jake. Franco's backstory: He had a square head, came from a foreign country, and his dad was the cook at a strip club. Once, he wouldn't quit picking on Jake so I walked up, kindly got in his face, and told him to back off. He then proceeded to shove me so I got very angry. I kicked him...somewhere and then pushed him and he fell into a bush that had saw briers all in it. The briers ripped his shirt and skin up pretty badly and it was noticeably very hard for him to get out of it. He never bothered Jake again.

Twosday
Last night before Allison got home Avery crawled to me. This was the first recorded occurrence of her actually crawling. Until now the best she could do was semi-crawl while she drug her face (that sounds worse than it was). But yeah, she crawled for me first and Allison missed it. When she finally got home, I tried to get Avery to crawl again but she just wouldn't do it. Once she sees her mama all she wants is to be held and be fed. She needs her mom for food and love. She just needs me for entertainment.
I blackened some fish last night for supper but it just wasn't as good as it is on the grill. Why do most meats taste the best grilled?
I don't think I've talked about it on here but whoever reads this blog needs to go see The Dark Knight. Its very good. One of my favorite movies of all time.
Answer to last post's trivia: On the episode the contest, it seemed like George won but in the last episode when they thought their plane was going to crash, George confessed to Jerry that he cheated so technically Jerry won.
Trivia: What is Clark Kent's middle name?
Daily (Fight) Memory:
When I was in the third grade there was a boy in my class who annoyed me every day. His name was Kevin. One day he asked me if I wanted a piece of gum and I said yeah so when I reached for it, he punched me and busted my lip for no reason at all. I got so angry that I tackled him and repeatedly punched him in the chest. He then pushed me off of him and tried to run away. Utility Al will find this similar to what I did a few years later but thats another memory for another post. As he was running away, I looked down and saw a little piece of petrified wood on the ground (I guess someone had been to the petrified forest and dropped it), so I picked it up and in desperation threw it in his direction. It hit him squarely in the small of his back and he dropped to the ground. I almost got suspended for that one but I talked my way out of it. Kevin wasn't so lucky. When I got home, I told my mom what happened and she was very angry with me for fighting. My dad was proud.

Every Other Day Of The Week Is Fine
Long, detailed, boring, weekend recap: Friday night, stayed home with the family and watched some Lost on DVD. This proved to be a little tough to do since Avery has learned how to blabber REALLY loudly. All we heard the whole time we were trying to watch was BLA DA DA DA!!!! BUH BUH MUH GA GA DA DAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!! Saturday, we went to the mall. This was not very fun at all but it was amusing watching people look at Avery. She likes sitting in the big kid stroller (which looks funny considering she's only six months old). Also, I think her ability to hold her own bottle while she sits in the stroller makes it look a little strange too. Then we went out to eat at Schimmel's (a nice restaurant that is one of the few places in Mississippi that has a revolving door) with the Grubb's's's (the inlaws) for Allison's mom's birthday. My food was okay but the portion was tiny. It was a ripoff. Sunday was good, all we did was stay at home, we went walking, I grilled a tenderloin, and we watched Blade Runner (which we didn't like very much). Not a bad weekend.
Answer to last post's Trivia: Isosceles Kramer
Trivia: On Seinfeld, who really won "The Contest" and was master of his/her domain?
Daily Memory: When I was in the second grade, there was this kid in my class who's name was Kyle. He was a spoiled little jerk who always tried to boss everyone around. One day on the playground he was sitting on the tire swing and I walked by. He didn't ask me to push him, he commanded me. I quickly told him no and he said that if I didn't do it that he would tell our teacher that I punched him and I would get in trouble. So I said, "fine Kyle, I'll push you." I walked up to the swing, grabbed the chain in one hand and with the other I punched him as hard as I could right in his gut. He cried his little pansy eyes out and ran and told the teacher and I got in trouble. I figured there was no way I was going to let him boss me around and if he was going to lie and tell the teacher anyway that I hit him, I might as well not let that punch go to waste.

Consecutively
Well, I just was starting to write this post and was talking about how bad its storming outside and right when I wrote "I hope the power doesn't go out" and the power went out. Weird.
Anyway....... why is there no good television on in the summer? Do TV executives think nobody watches TV once their kids get out of school? I mean the best thing on last night was Last Comic Standing and I don't even like it that much. Reality TV is horrible. Whatever happened to shows that were actually written that had actors and a plot? Now they're even making Family Feud and The Price Is Right primetime tv. I sound like an old man.
Well I figured out that I don't really weigh 190, I weigh 180. I had the scale on the carpet and for some reason that made it register higher. I wonder how much I would lose if I started taking laxatives all the time...
I took Avery to daycare this morning and saw that it was costume day for all the bigger kids. Most of them were wearing Incredibles or Princess costumes but there was one girl that was wearing a little mermaid bathing suit and a pink supergirl cape. I thought that was funny, I guess her parents let her pick out her costume.
The answer to last trivia: "The sauce you can have but the secret, she's a mine!"
Todays Trivia: On Seinfeld, If Kramer ever had kids what did he say he would name his child?
Daily Memory:
When I was in the fifth grade, my whole grade was playing on the playground after we got back from a field trip. I dont remember where we went but for some reason I was dressed nice in a polo shirt and khaki pants. I was playing on one of those wooden playhouses on stilts, you know, the ones that have platforms, a swinging bridge, a slide, and monkey bars? I decided to jump off of it and I heard a loud *RIIIP* noise and noticed that my feet never hit the ground. Then I noticed the cool breeze..... To my utter horror, I realized that a nail was sticking up on the wood that had caught not only my pants but ALSO my underwear and ripped a big hole so my butt (somehow unscathed) was on display for all to see while I was hanging there. Thank goodness, only one little girl saw what happened because I quickly got down and tied my coat around my waist.
