4thI was going to write something about "America," maybe political or cultural but I just realized how feeble that would be.
Instead: Speak Softly and Carry a Big Stick.

hey guess whathey guess what just listen to my usersound
ESPN Classic has been playing American Gladiator lately.
HOLYSHIT this is the best show. Why did I not understand this 17 years ago?
The goddamn amazingness of it all flips my lid.
The concept of the show is that people, wearing spandex and teeth guards, are pitted against a stable of professional Gladiators.
The professional Gladiators' job is to lift weights and shoot nerf guns and water hoses and run around in giant steel cages.
If I had a Tivo it would be set to record Jeopardy and American Gladiators and thats the only TV I would watch.
In closing, this this is a partial list of American Gladiator names

Nitro
Blaze
Laser

yepI think I can never live in a suburb again.
Once I lived in Amherst for 1 year andI think that will be it.
I like where I lived in Buffalo. Right there by Childrens Hospital. There was this music school two doors up the street and you could hear kids squeak out Freire Jaque on the clarinet at night when you had the windows open and were eating dinner.
I could have easily, and happily even, worked myself into a predictable little rut there.
I love this fucking area that I'm living/working in now. Country? do you call it? What is the opposite of city.
Rural. I've seen shitty rural places, but This is it. This is the real shit. I get such a boner thinking about buying a house out here. Not yet though.
I like the city and the country but not in between.

can I get a wootnessHA! who would have thought that f uelcel l R&D would be so sweet?
Thats all I have to say. That my job is really cool and I'm happy with it and everything else. I wish I didn't have to move out of this neighborhood/ctiy, but easycome, easygo.
Also, I have some stuff that I want to give away (what with moving, etc)
1) tuba case. Its a tuba case, tuba not included. Very large. Use it to store tubas, or other brickabrack. Smells funny, sprayed lysol to rectify. Picked up one night coming home drunk.
2) large engineering drawings. Really big, 3+ ft @ 100 pages. Detailing the sprinkler system in the Elicott dorm complex at UB. Picked up one night coming home drunk.
3) oldy school stereo. An oldy school, vintage even, stereo w/ tape deck. Nice condition. Ebay purchase, possibly while drunk.

dreamI had a dream last night instead of having a cat named Jack, my parents had a bulldog and a chimpanzee named Chester.
And oh, the fun we had.
And oh, the fun we had.
oh kook... i've missed you.
We need more of your random hystericalness.
I used to watch It all the time. I admit I don't remember all the games or all the Gladiators since some of them changed over the years and I didn't see every show.
I actually just watched an episode over some dude's shoulder on my flight from Buffalo to Portland. I remember it being totally awesome [and it still is] but I this time I ended up dissecting it as an actual _sport_.
It's really weird, because it's an individual-achievement sport [as opposed to a team sport] where the contestants never play against each other, but rather against this neutral, unaffiliated team of American Gladiators. Even though they always play defense and never score points, the Gladiators still managed to amass this crazy crowd following. It's interesting, because I'm a total dork.

wasn't there a lame ass cartoon too?
Holy McCrap!
At the end of saturday morning cartoons it was always such a letdown when American Bandstand would come on. But years later when it was followed, no, crowned by American Gladiator. That was some might good accompaniment to a giant bowl of Alphabets cereal.
