It must make me laugh and I have to have seen the movie
The movie must be rated PG-13, PG, or G. Sorry no R-rated movies

Random Thoughts

I'm back !!!!

Thank goodness Tax Season is almost over so I can get back to a more normal life.

As ususual I enter a NCAA Bracket Challenge and it is one by a person who could not even tell you what state the winning team was from.

Glad to hear Britney Spears is taking a stand against smoking by leaving the stage just a few songs in. Next she will be taking a stand against drinking, child neglect, and untalented singers charging $50 for a concert ticket

Stupid movies or TV shows are funny if you watch them when you are tired, why do you think Saturday Night Live is on late.

Quote of the year so far "I am just trying to solve solutions don't give me a bad time"

More will come including my list of movies to see before you. See you after the 15th

Random Thoughts 12/16/08

- 12 Fourteen year old boys plus The Golden Corral Buffet equals a very disgusting drink that contains shrimp and steak sauce

- A excellent white elephant gift idea is a toilet seat with a cat face on the lid. If the right co-worker gets it you will not stop laughing

- Finally the following conversation took place today at work

Grand Master CUB- I have my parking pass now for the year

Co-worker - Why whould you want that parking space, it is further to walk to than the open employee parking?

GM CUB - It saves me from having to pay $60.00 for access to the exercise facilty to walk that far.

Co-Worker - It is not working for you

As my wife would say I bring comments like this on to myself

Random Thoughts 12/13/08

- The cheapest ticket to the upcoming Britney Spears concert is $120.00. That is at least 40 combo meals at a fast food establishment. I will take the food I will not need binoculars to see my burger

- Las Vegas has a serious lack of CUB's for the home of the buffet

- I think at some point in 2009 I will start a compaign to call in CUB to work

- Congrats to CC Sabathia (6'5" 300 plus pounds) now of the New York Yankees on his $161 million dollar contract. It just shows that a CUB can become rich as an athlete.

- I wish I were a kid again as Christmas was so exciting then, as an adult it is a pain
