Duck Goes Moo!

Man, I wish I wasn’t on my special “no alcohol, greasy food, or coffee” diet; I’d love to throw a party with this theme.

You know, I have about $200 of liquor sitting around in kitchen that I am probably never going to drink now that I’ve had my little “life-style change”. I am possibly thinking about throwing a party in which I don’t drink a drop of alcohol and I just make drinks for people… well, it’d probably have to be several parties.

I did break with my diet and have a beer last Sunday, and it was alright but it did cause a bit of pain and gas the next day so I am not sure I will do that again anytime soon. I think I will stick to not drinking for a while still; I am below 200 pounds and I am going to try to get down into the 170s.

As far as what might be wrong with my gut, I was thinking earlier it could be an ulcer or diverticulitis, but I did more googling and I am wondering if it was a fatty liver. For the past two months I’ve been avoiding a lot of the things that can cause that and bring your liver back into its lean, normal functioning self. That would help explain why I seem to be losing so much weight when diets in the past didn’t work.

I am going to see how my gut feels after another two weeks and then go in to the doctor again if it still has problems. They’ll probably want to stick a camera in me and see what’s happening, but it’d be worth it to make sure it’s not cancer or anything else dangerous.

THANK YOU! Glad to see someone else out there thinks “Mind of Mencia” isn’t funny in the slightest. The thing that annoys me the most about Mencia is that his real name isn’t Carlos Mencia, it’s Ned Holness. He’s of German descent and not a Latino, which is why his Mexican Stepin Fetchit act is especially unfunny.

But still, I don’t fully understand the Arthur C. Clark quote. Is it saying that after humanity has stopped laughing at the idea of a space elevator? Or after humanity has merged with machine and no longer laughs, instead relaying responses to humor with a series of blinking lights?

This comic reminds me of one of my employees. He’s brilliant but keeps coming up with the extremely overblown solutions to problems that in reality require very little effort. I’m thinking of pinning it to his desk.

It has begun. I indeed bought some googly eyes and a domain name and I am getting ready to introduce the world to AllGoogly.com.

You can go there now and just see a landing page, but I already have some great pictures of things I put googly eyes on.

I actually couldn’t believe how much fun it was to put googly eyes on everything and take pictures. People really seem to respond positively to it, and it truly does prove that googly eyes make everything better.

When the site is ready I’ll let everyone know.

Comedian Amy Sedaris issued a noble and worthy decree: put googly eyes on food.

The end result is further proof that EVERYTHING is better with googly eyes:

I am going to see if I can get this listed on CuteOverload.com.

I know I already made a post about the worst named products ever, but this one would have definetely made the list.

I still can’t believe that they had the one guy say, “My wife would like that…”.

I don’t know if the term “Ball Buster” had the same connotations back when this commercial was made as it does now, but I still have to giggle when I watch this.

1. Sweet and Salty Nut – Could there be a worse name for a product? I have trouble imagining there not being at least one person who either snicked or rolled their eyes when marketing announced the new flavor of snack bar as “Sweet and Salty Nut”, unless it is all intentional and a PR campaign designed to get all the bloggers in the world to post about what a bad name it is, thus generating publicity.

2. i.beat.blaxx – It’s time to call HR and schedule is some racial-sensitivity training. Once again, there had to be a least a few askew glances and held breaths when this one was unveiled.

3. LadyParts – You heard me right: Lady Parts, as in automobile services designed with women in mind… what did you think they were talking about?

4. Cafe Steamers – I’m sure these are a real hit in Cleavland.

5. Sleep Pretty in Pink – Sounds more like the answer on Wheel of Fortune than a sleep aid.

6. Yoga Bunny Detox – Right… Still, I love how it says “No Nasties” on the label.

7. POOLIFE – Hey, live life anyway you like… just don’t do it in the pool.

8. Life Dunk – I’m running out if snide comments to make. It’s just a bad name for a car or much anything else besides an inspirational movie about basketball players who battle their respective addictions.

9. Snuggie – Sounds a little too much like “Huggies”, plus wearing one makes you look like an escaped cultist.

10. Sacro Wedgie – Wedgy? Really? Was “Sacro Swirly” or “Sacro Purple Nurple” already taken?
