Have you ever noticed.....

Not to sound like Andy Rooney, but have ever noticed whenever anyone starts off a conversation with, "I don't mean to bore you with this...." the very next thing they proceed to do is to bore you with it?

 

Joke of the Month:

A cowboy moseys into a saloon and orders a whiskey. When the bartender delivers the drink, the cowboy asks, "Where is everybody?"

The bartender replies, "They've all gone to the hanging." The cowboy asked, "Who are they hanging?" The bartender answered, "Brown Paper Pete." 

"What kind of name is Brown Paper Pete," the cowboy asked. The bartender explained, "Well, he wears a brown paper hat, brown paper shirt, brown paper pants and brown paper shoes." 

The cowboy said, &"That's weird. What are they hanging him for?" 

The bartender said, "Rustling!"

Something pretty cool happened yesterday in Toledo Ohio of all places.  Actually a little south of Toledo.  I was out doing some geocaching when I saw a huge bird circling pretty low overhead.  At first I thought it was a buzzard as they are pretty common in Ohio.  The closer I got I noticed that the bird had a white head and a white tail feathers.

I would not have thought I would have seen bald eagles in Ohio.  That was pretty cool.

Now, the picture above isn't from my camera.  My camera.  I found this picture on the Internet.

The reason being is my digital camera has this really neat feature.  There is a little warning on it to let you know when your battery is low.  What it does is it comes up with a message saying "Low Battery" and then the battery dies so you can't take any more pictures.  

Basically that is a really nice feature to have.  It's kind of pointless to have the ability to take say one more picture when the camera can use that battery energy instead to tell me the battery is going to die before I can take one more picture.

Movie Reviews:

Jackass 2

If you have seen Jackass 1 then you will love Jackass 2.  It does take a certain mindset to see this movie.  The mindset is "I want to leave my brain at home and have some fun."

Also you need to have a strong stomach.  Some of the stunts are silly slapstick like you would see in a cartoon.  Some of them are just plain out gross.  It's worth seeing just for the 'terrorist beard prank'.  This is definitely a guys only movie.

My recommendation:

If you want to hang out with your fellas and do something stupid check out Jackass 2.  If you are dating a girl that you want to get rid of but don't know how to do it, take her to see Jackass 2.  When she finds out this is the type of movie you like she will probably dump you.
