New Things For a New Day

Being apposed to fast food (when sober), I haven't eaten a McDonald's breakfast in about a decade. But this morning i found myself famished and near a house of golden arches. So i took a chance and ordered an Egg McMuffin. What the hell, right? I like eggs and i love English muffins. And I'm absolutely obsessed with corporate colloquialisms.
I have to admit, i was impressed with the variable cornucopia of contrasting tastes.
The Muffin itself tasted strongly of corn meal and cigarette smoke. I'm guessing the egg was poached. Though its shape and texture reminded me of one of those gelatinous urinal cakes you see every once in a while. When ordering, I didn't even consider there being a meat involved, and rightfully so. I believe Bologna was the protein of choice. And it definitely held up the standard of the sandwich by adding a distinct sweetness. Similar to TUMS. This, of course was all topped off with a "Burger Band-Aid" AKA cheese. Its seems the fast food industry carries the same concern for their food's integrity as my mother did for my well being. The bigger the boo-boo; the bigger the band-aid you need. And if you're left with a gaping wound worthy of at least 5 stitches, 2 Band-aids should work just fine.
In all, the sandwich was edible. But then, technically anything you can fit in your stomach is "edible" just not digestible. Of the latter, the verdict is still not in on this McDelicacy.

My Movie Pitch
Former Glory


Gary Busey and Nick Nolte star as retired police partners/ former detectives.
Together, they were the best detectives San Fransisco ever saw. Showered with medals, publicity, and commendations, they protected the city with all their hearts. But, as with everything else, the city and times change. Their cowboy ways were eventually replaced by the younger more disciplined officers. And the "San Fran Avengers" watched their promotions slip through their fingers.
Gary Busey was the ever slick, detective with iron moral fortitude. Now he's the host of a once highly acclaimed Cops-type reality show. But the show has landed in hot water, now that evidence may prove the show has staged it's events.
Nick Nolte, formerly a renegade, devil-may-care beat cop(with military history), has sunken into a drunken depression. He is tormented by his past, filled with war and bravery. After his wife leaves him, he loses all hope. Thankfully he tries to find it at the bottom of a bottle, rather than the barrel of a gun.
Now a once notorious serial killer reemerges. This time he's united all San Fransisco's baddest in a quest to take the city by storm and leave dead cops in their wake. GB decides that solving the case they never could, may return him to his former glory. He and NN (inspired by the idea that he may get the chance to die honorably in a gun fight) set off to catch the cop-teasing menace to society. Badge-less, they fight to return order to the lawless city they love.
They find, that the criminal underworld isn't what it used to be. And, neither are they. But honor knows no age and crime will always fear justice.
Hi jinx ensue.
(I see this as Lethal Weapon meets Training Day)
I'm thinking Shane Black to write/direct
John Malkovich as the Zodiac Killer inspired Bad-guy.
Melanie Griffith as Nick Nolte's ex-wife
Jake Busey as Gary's disapproving police officer son/inside man
so, what do you think?

Randon Rant #1
Why in the holy hell are there so many toothbrush improvements?! When did the toothbrush become the forefront of technological advance?! When a toothbrush looks like the sole of a $200 tennis shoe, it's probably time to let the innovation ride.


Really, who isn't satisfied with their tooth brush?! Honestly, if you replaced mine with one of those shoe polish brushes from the 50s i wouldn't notice. Handle & bristles, those are the only necessary parts! I'm standing in the aisle looking at a wall of rudimentary tools and i cant help but be affraid. What if the neck doesnt bend enough?! What if i don't have space aged carbon fiber bristles?! What the hell is this button for?! God forbid we lived in a world with toothbrush tech savy.
"Hey, you see Chris' Oral-B Vitality Precision Clean Brush?"
"Heh what a chump?! Everyone knows you have to change those Flexibrush Heads every 3 months to maintain %60 gingivitis protection!"
"I know. What a loser?! Lets go kick him until he pukes piss."
I shutter with fear.
So, I've decided to throw my hat into the ring of Toothbrush Renaissance with this beaut. Hopefully this will be the quintessential design. I may never have to up grade again.

Please note that in addition to rubber grips & shock absorbing neck suspension (that no respectable human can do without), I've added the following:
A) 2 different brush components, enabling the user to brush both the top and bottom rows at the same time.
B) An illuminating, incandescent light mixed with the searing heat of an optic laser. Note: this technology hasn't been tested. But what pussy is going to let safety regulations make them fight gingivitis on its own terms?!
C) A lanyard. To keep me from dropping it in the toilet while I'm trying to shave precious seconds off my morning routine.
Now if that doesn't give your gums a boner, I don't know what will.
(Also, I have have no idea what a "boner" is.)

Delicious Meats & Tasty Treats
Sunday was the first annual Bizarre Food Potluck.
It was also the last.
No amount of biblical prophecy could have warned me about the Plague that ravaged my intestines for the next 36 hours.
It was fun though!
"You're a tiger. Growl baby. Now Purr! Bad Kitty"

Liver Stuffed Mushrooms

Shrimp and Beef Spring Rolls

Kimchi (Fermented Cabbage)

Tripe (Cow Stomach)

Hummus (Chick pea delicacy)

Veggie Cann Fe

Raccoon Balls (Sausage/cheese)

Veggie Salsa

Star Fruit

Hu Mu Palo (Pig Ear)

Rabbit

Palatial Spread

Nothing sets off a bizarre food platter like Camel cigs.

Watchmen Review

First off, Watchmen was amazing!
It was funny, compelling, frightening, and brutal. It included every important element from the Novel without bastardizing its vision. Upon second viewing it was even MORE enjoyable than the first, as my original cynicism was set aside. I didnt have to battle my anticipation to be entertained. Be warned it's rated R. And for good reason, Graphic Violence, Frontal Nudity (all though CGI blue penis doesnt really do it for me), and Coarse Language.
Second, They changed the ending!
All right, now I'm sure about 5 people just felt a sudden cold wash over them. The biggest offense to what Patton Oswalt calls "The Nerd Mafia", is changing source material. And while i was disappointed, I understood. Those who have read the Graphic novel, know that the ending was very.....comic booky.(And we read it for that reason) But, this is a movie. And as such, has to appeal to a broader audience. If all 60million tickets sold for The Dark Knight were to die hard Batman fans, we'd have a much bigger problem than altered story cannon to deal with. Our entire race would be doomed. Think about it comic nerds arent exactly reknown for spreading their seed.
Third, Zach Snyder loves you
Seriously, this guy is a movie lover, who makes movies for movie lovers. He's not a comic geek trying to stroke the undeserved ego of the Nerd Mafia. He's a great story teller that tries to include all viewers. Every minute of Watchmen is a little reward for following the complex narrative. There's action and comedy and drama and romance just around every corner. And for a movie that comes in just shy of 3 hours, i haven't heard a single complaint about its length! Think about that! These are people that cant wait 10 minutes to make 4 serving of mac and cheese. So they spend 5x as much money to make single servings in 3 minutes?!
That alone is mind boggling.
In summary, go see the movie you won't regret it.
Easter Eggs:
The combination on the psychiatrist's briefcase is "300". The title of Zach Snyder's last blockbuster
Also, on Veidt's wall of television screens the movie "the 300 Spartans" is playing.
And, for the real geeks. The doom's day plot is called operation "S.Q.U.I.D."

Boring Meeting Doodles
Watchmen Overload

So, like EVERYONE in the country I'm excited about Watchmen. I could go on and on about the true fans of the source material. Or i could bore you with the analogies and arguments I've made over the past 8 years of Watchmen worship. Instead, I've decided to let this one slide. It looks like a great movie and I'm happy to have overwhelming company on the bandwagon (for once).
Check out this awesomely animated, labor of love from Happy Harry. It asks the question, "What if the Watchmen had a Saturday morning cartoon?"
Warning: there is a possible spoiler in the video
I'm going to see the 11pm showing tonight, if anyone wants to join.
But be warned, the shear magnitude of my nerdom has been proven to cause:
Erectile disfunction, Repelling of the female species, Loss of monetary control, and Diarrhea.

First let me say, "Bullet" and "Magnum" are good friends of mine. They're real dudes and great musicians to boot. They've always been super nice and are more than welcome in my home.
But good GOD! Kissy poses?! Reach-around guitar riffs?! Cuff accessories?! and CHRIST, jovial jumping?!
These guys have to know something i don't. Otherwise, they wouldn't be painting such a rich tapestry of blackmail over the internet.
Much love to the Gallant Lords of Leaping. Go check out they're site and get ready to receive.
Cuz they sure as hell are.

Just Another Night in the Jungle
So, this happened about a week ago. A few of my close friends have already heard it told. Now i shall relay it to all the world, unto her unsuspecting glory.
Rarely do i think of making a list and shopping once a week. I usually grab just the essentials per day. This makes my trips to the great land of Walmart frequent, brief, and resolute. After years of this exercise it becomes second nature. It gives my mind time to wander while i search for value-priced, sweat shop treasures.
I got off work and headed over to the lesser Mart (the one where everyone's hair looks wet ALL the time) in search of various items. After i had acquired my late night accoutrement, i proceeded to the counter. There i found a kind, yet feeble night-shift slave who rang me up.
She half smiled and look at me as if I were drinking whiskey from a boot.
"You find everythin' alright?" she asked, almost under her breath.
"Yes, yes I did!" I replied with a large smile, hoping my cheerful demeanor would brighten her dreary tasks.
And with a look of disgust she said, "ok"
We exchanged "Goodnights" and i left, wondering why that encounter seemed so suspect. I plopped down in my car and inspected the contents of my Walmart bag. Inside i found only three items:
12 pack of Michelob Amberbock
1 Large container of non-scented Jergen's hand lotion
Shrek the Third on DVD
I would explain the combined use for these items. But, i think my intentions were pretty clear.
Just another night in the jungle.
