true potpourri
Category: potpourri
I went to see V for Vendetta with (e:Matthew), (e:Paul) and (e:Terry) last night. Seriously, I almost came home and shaved my head. If I had access to a buzzer in the middle of the night, I would have.

A friend passed me this in class the other day. I had to laugh.

Here are several random questions:

What would you do with 1,000 plastic spoons?
I have a sweet recycling book that shows you how to make a super fly outdoor chandelier out of them!

What did you do when you were in school in the 2nd grade?
I don't know but I do have one distinct memory of a spelling test on which I spelled OF, UV.

Where are you going on your next vacation?
It should still be Germany and Poland, followed by India.

Last book you read?
I think Deception Point by Dan Brown.

What is your favorite smell?
Pumpkin and Lavender.

Have you ever gotten a haircut so bad that you wore a hat for a month straight?
If I told you the story of what Fay Ruben did to me you almost wouldn't believe it . . .

Last song you listened to:
The Cedar Room by The Doves

Have you ever had surgery?
Hahahahahaha. Oh yah sure you betcha!

Drinking and driving is BAD kids! Don't do it. My friend came over to play some Mario Kart last week. We had a LOT of beer.

Resulting in piss poor driving skillz on my part!

that's me in 7th place going the wrong direction - oh the horror!

yeah I saw that ad for the BBQ at school, kinda puzzled me too.
metalpeter - 04/27/06 20:07
V for Vendetta is a great movie. In terms of the sign you can belive that animals shouldn't be torurted when killed for use to eat and think they shouldn't be tested on and still eat meat. That is how I feal, that is why I don't go to KFC.

join croft's army
Category: potpourri
Right now I'm feeling a little bit like this:

image


I seek peace. I need peace. Peace of mind, peaceful sleep, peaceful dreams, inner peace, peace and quiet....peace. I know I'm not alone.

Join Croft's army in the quest for peace. You might liken it to Monty Python's search for the Holy Grail (speaking of Holy Grail...The Davinci Code premiers on May 19!) but I'm always up for an adventure.
mrdt - 04/26/06 15:40
hmmm... this is a touchy subject for me to comment on so I try and generalize.

Let me start by saying, a few years ago I was a complete mess, which I thin we discussed. I decided it's not how I wanted to live my life and I had to do something about it. I did some research, some of it may be questionable and put myself on a path toward wellness of mind, spirit and body. As I stated to the good doctor a few days ago I feel more cohesive and I deal with the ups & downs of life a lot easier.

There's no easy or quick fix to this and requires a commitment on your part to constantly move in a progressive direction. What path you chose is up to you, I liken it to buddhism and the path to enlightenment.

If you want/need any advice I would be happy to point you in a direction but the work must rest soley on your shoulders. You have my number if you have any questions.
sbrugger - 04/26/06 09:07
Okay..but only if I get to be Sir Galahad...and you know the directions to Castle Anthrax...;). hahaha

Cheer up, LC! :)

10 things
Category: potpourri
1. Definetly not going to the World Cup, I weep.

2. Sex is good.

3. Good sex is better.

4. I dropped a knife loaded with peanut butter on my legs.

5. I just called someone a dishbag instead of douchebag.

6. I miss my dog.

7. When I say 'onion rings' it translates as 'french fries' to the guys at Jim's Steak Out.

8. Aqua Mouse is close to taking her last shit.

9. I love my future roommies.

10. My hookah needs a name.
joshua - 04/26/06 23:03
At first I thought of the name "double bubble" but then again that wouldn't make a whole bunch of sense.
mrdt - 04/26/06 02:51
"cause its like your dog!"

"oh we get it!"
metalpeter - 04/25/06 18:26
thanks MRDT. There is this long running joke that goes back not sure how long (among some people I know). There is a line from "Road Trip" where they are talking about cheating and there are althese differant rules and the one kid goes something like "If your dog likes Peanut Butter off your balls then its not cheating because its your dog" .
scott - 04/25/06 12:49
1. There will be another world cup.
2. True.
3. Very true.
4. Why were you stabbing peanut butter?
5. I think being called a 'dishbag' is more creative, and possibly more insulting.
6. Of course you do. If you didn't, it wouldn't be YOUR dog.
7. Next time make a fuss and enjoy it.
8. Cars suck. Can't help you there.
9. Hopefully they love you, too. check on that one again in 6 months.
10. Wilbur. (I name all non-sentient beings Wilbur. )
mrdt - 04/25/06 02:02
peter, that is the funniest thing I've ever heard you say.
metalpeter - 04/24/06 18:22
Calling some one a dishbag by mistake is funny.

I hope you din't let the Peanut butter go to waste.

How do you name a Hookah if only you used it it could be a male name but I saw you should use a like Devon (spelled same but pronouced two differant ways) for example it is corny but what about When Aqua Mouse dies incorporate its name into the Hokah somehow.

And the thing that ties a few of the subjects to gather is yes sex is good but great sex is even better and if that happens to be a dog licking penut butter off you as one watches the world cup on TV with an order of fries that they got at Jims STeak out then so be it.

jenks - 04/24/06 12:30
1- seriously, i'm happy to help if I can.
2-3- yes please
4- then drop some chocolate like those old school reese's ads.
5- dishrag?
6- she misses you too.
7- both good drunk food.
8- summer is lovely bike weather

10- hmm. will have to think and get back to you.
decoyisryan - 04/23/06 23:27
1. it will be on tv. 2&3 mmmmm hmmmm. 4. did you still eat the peanut butter? 5. douchebag. 6. my dog is taking up too much room on my bed. 7. atleast you didnt' make a fuss. 8. the car is frightening. 9. ditto. 10. Gonzo

i said pumpkin!!!
Category: potpourri
I went out with some of my classmates tonight. We ended up at JP Bullfeathers and I got excited because I was really hungry and this place serves pumpkin ravioli! I took my first bite and thought to myself, 'this doesn't appear to be the correct texture'. Then I thought to myself, 'gee where is that sweet spice flavor to accompany my pumpkin'. Then it hit me. The repulsive taste of shrimp. SHRIMP!!! I spit it out into my napkin. I had to chase that nastiness with 2 Irish car bombs to get the taste off my tongue! Blah!

On the way out we noticed the estrip chalkings on the sidewalk. I'm glad it's out there, but I'm not gonna lie, my heart broke in two that I wasn't involved. Ask (e:Decoyisryan). I meeped for about 10 minutes. Ciao.
paul - 04/23/06 22:10
Ladycroft, I would have invited you if I went. It was just a spontaneous mike and jill night out. I fell asleep after spending liek 10 hours fixing all the crap on the site I was too busy to fix before.
mike - 04/23/06 14:57
i'm glad you were one of the few people to see our sidewalk chalk ads. You definetely need to come with us next time to do more. Prefereably not right before it rains next time!
ajay - 04/23/06 12:41
Isn't shrimp the "pumpkin of the sea" ?
Or was it tuna?
decoyisryan - 04/23/06 11:51
ummmmm......it was a little more than 10 minutes
metalpeter - 04/23/06 11:00
I think it is great that some people did the Sidewalk chalking. On a second note I hope you tried to get those Car Bombs and the food for free. Never send the food back!!!!! You had to buy them to wash out the nasty taste they should at least give you the first one free.
enknot - 04/23/06 06:20
Pumpkins aside, I second a notion to a nondestructive (e:strip) graffiti campaign. I think that this page is great for too many reasons. I happen to think that it's creater is one of the best programmers I know, the community is really strong and local, and for Christ’s sake, it's not myplacetopickupminors, er space..yeah myspace. More people need to know about it.

it's a sunshine day
Category: photos
I took my sister, Brad and Alex to Niagara Falls yesterday. At one point in my life I was a licensed tour guide, so I really do enjoy taking folks to see it. I never get tired of it. It was such a beautiful day full of sunshine and rainbows. It really lifted my spirits.

We played around at the Midway on Clifton Hill for a bit. Later that night we decided we hadn't had enough, so we went to Dave & Buster's. That place is fantastic, I never knew! Video games, bars, pool and bowling! We should make an (e:peep) outing one night! Ciao.

jenks - 04/21/06 09:44
Yay! Fun. Thanks again. But I'm so jealous you went to D&B without me!
metalpeter - 04/20/06 18:34
Nice pics. Glad you had fun in the falls. Dave and Busters is a preaty cool place. I went once and didn't have time to check out the resturant or find the bowling. If I was more of a video game player I would have enjoyed it more.
mrmike - 04/20/06 15:53
Got to love a place where the videogames have a "cocktail" switch where the quarters usually go. Up for a peep trek
paul - 04/20/06 15:47
Did you guys decide on an apartment already? More importantly, when is the housewarming party?
vincent - 04/20/06 15:40
Dave and Buster's Rocks!!!!

I was there Sat. for the first time and had a blast. If we had an outing I would definantly love to try the bar and food. Plus I think the only way I could beat you in any time of game at that place would be to liquor you up first!!!
