I thought V was for Van
Right now I’m trying to type this blog entry, but after Sarah’s post about Puscifer, I am listening to Cuntry Boner and well my mind is in a state of disbelief listening to Maynard James Keenan singing about doing Minnie Pearl and Glen Campbell… ok, it’s over now… Jeebus, that’s so irreverently great. Do yourself a favor, listen to V is for Vagina… hey wait, they can’t take my letter.
Stopped by the library and happily picked up my reserved copy of The Alphabet of Manliness by Maddox. I need to finish Enemy at the Gates (which is great BTW) first, but I can’t wait to dig into what is hopefully a nice full plate of nasty sarcasm.
I got home and did another short run of 2 miles. My wet footfalls in the unlit trails of Medford Lakes were made all the more surreal by having Mr. Bungle on the iPod, I was half expecting a psychotic clown to leap out and start juggling chainsaws and prescription bottles. Thursday before stuffing my gullet, I’m going to do 4 miles and really test my ass out, (hopefully sans psychotic chainsaw and prescription bottle juggling clowns).
I had a quick phone call with Terry from NitroVideo about a couple new projects. I also talked to a new client about several business ideas. I headed over to Mom and Dad’s for dinner after the run. I headed home and finished the (hopefully) last item for Zeropercentcards.com and spent some time working on NitroVideo’s PERL script too.
Yogi is still coming down from the kid visit high. He had Viv hanging on him the entire visit. He loved it. One of the great things about Yogi is that to make him seriously happy, I mean seriously… all you have to do is suddenly break into a run. He usually will try to get in front of you, to get to this unbelievable goodness you are hurrying towards. The conversation I imagine in his orange furry noggin is something like this… “Are we running? WOO!!!! WE ARE RUNNING!!! FUCK YEAH!!! RUNNING!!! WHAT ARE WE DOING??? WOOOOOO!!!! RUNNING!!! …. oh you were just going to throw out the junk mail… oh… awesome. Can I eat the mail?”
I zoned out for the rest of the night after doing some stretching, pushups and crunches. I finished 28 Days Later (which I think is my favorite zombie movie now) and also watched Mr. Arkadin (artsy, but not my favorite Welles movie).

Here’s hoping there are very, very few psychotic chainsaw jugglers in your future! Although I suppose one is all it takes…
November 21st, 2007 at 9:30 am
Elementary school, huh? I won’t tell you that mine came up genius…
And did you work busting stash into your conversation yesterday? “The cops showed up while I was busting my stash…”
November 21st, 2007 at 9:40 am
Have a happy thanksgiving, man!
November 21st, 2007 at 9:43 am
I’ll be waiting for your review of the Maddox book. I yuv him.
November 21st, 2007 at 9:44 am
Chris – one with bad aim
Carolyn – I probably broke the scale and it went too high and came back around to elementary
Mike D – stop being so bossy
Franki – well, why don’t you yarry him then
November 21st, 2007 at 9:57 am
I knew it was something like that…you do use big words like NitroVideo, surreal and psychotic…
November 21st, 2007 at 10:14 am
Carolyn – it also might have something with my blog having categories for farts, dog shit, cat shit, and spongebob.
November 21st, 2007 at 11:10 am
Oh, great! More cool stuff I have to check out. Love it but I’ll NEVER catch up. Thanks, Van
November 21st, 2007 at 11:52 am
I’m junior high level. Or at least my sense of humor is.
Also, I cannot stop giggling at your dogs running commentary. Yogi cracks me up. He needs a blog.
November 21st, 2007 at 12:12 pm
Ummm…didn’t we already have the marriage discussion?
November 21st, 2007 at 12:12 pm
Bud – what’s this catching up you speak of?
Jenny – if Yogi had a blog he’d probably make fun of my underarmor pants I wear when jogging, because he’s jealous they don’t make them in a four legged version. now that i write this, i better head home, i left them on top of the laundry, he might try them on…
November 21st, 2007 at 12:14 pm
Franki – touche, but i still think you should propose to him
November 21st, 2007 at 12:38 pm
Vagina Van.
November 21st, 2007 at 12:40 pm
Too bad you can’t harness Yogi’s running enthusiasm and teach him to go nuts on falling leaves. “Whoo Hooo!!! another falling leaf. Gotta rake that up!”
November 21st, 2007 at 1:12 pm
Yogi is the bomb…I want to be Yogi when I grow up.
November 21st, 2007 at 1:26 pm
You should have had Mr. Bungle on before your ass was fine and all. You could have run to My Ass Is On Fire.
Of course Love Is a Fist is maybe more pertinent at this juncture.
Still one of my favorite albmums of all time.
November 21st, 2007 at 1:30 pm
Oh yeah… about the best bridge ever in a song is between 3:05 and 3:36 in My Ass Is On Fire.
November 21st, 2007 at 1:53 pm
Dyna Girl – that’s alliteration i’ll have you know
Lorrie – the best I can do with my big orange buddy is getting him to freak the fuck out when I pull out the leaf blower
Kevin – you and me both, i mean all except the pooping outside part
E – I knew I’d get a comment out of you by putting a Bungle reference. On my run, Carousel was followed by Goodbye Sober Day which also has one of the choicest bridges from 2:38 – 3:14 CHAK! CHAKA CHAKA CHAKA CHAK! CHAK! CHAK!

Dave loves Pucifer. I tease him…I poke him in the gut and whisper “Poooosifer…pooosifer…”
I’m junior high school reading material. Booya.
November 21st, 2007 at 4:47 pm
mamatulip – if you upped the amount of dave farting stories, you could be in my elite elementary level.

28 Days Later is the best of zombie flicks and one of the most intelligent scary movies of all time. I generally stay away from them, but I couldn’t resist Romero’s work–there is so much political satire there, and I saw the Blair Witch Project which still bothers me. Horror flicks only work when you can actually conceive of them as truth. The Romero films didn’t do that for me, but the first two Alien flicks were beyond scary.
Have a good holiday, amigo.
November 21st, 2007 at 6:04 pm
enemy of the republic – yeah the Romero films are so over the top it’s tough given that criteria, i did enjoy them, but 28 Days was better IMHO. you have a good one too
November 21st, 2007 at 6:33 pm
Well crap, I was here. Did I get spammed or forget to press submit. I have such a problem with submission….
What ever brilliant thought I had is gone. All I am left with is a solid wish that you have a wonderful holiday.
November 21st, 2007 at 10:29 pm
in response to your comment on my site… just make sure it’s the CHUNKY cranberry sauce in order to get the same effect that I had with the sausage pizza (i swear there’s still some in there.)
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
November 21st, 2007 at 11:30 pm
Oh dear! I didn’t know that you were one of those! [I'm a relative newbie after all!] Don’t you know that all that running about will wear you out more quickly!
Happy Thanksgiving
November 22nd, 2007 at 12:20 am
I’ve been waiting for about a year for you to test your ass out.
There it’s been, sitting in the box on the counter, all this time.
Put the batteries in; give it a ride.
November 22nd, 2007 at 6:49 am
I’m going to stuff my gullet all day and all night. Maybe then I’ll get off the couch and walk 10 feet to get the remote. LOL
Have a great Thanksgiving. Eat and drink lots.
November 22nd, 2007 at 10:51 am
Open Grove Claudia – I didn’t see you in the Spam folder, but who knows.
gigglechick – chunky, roger that
Maddy – precisely
Jocelyn – the batteries really make it uncomfortable to do well, anything
corky – roger that, happy turkey day to you too

Ooo what a good egg you are. Fart jokes are one of the best forms of free therapy available. As for the four mile run, I’d be hard pressed to manage a four yard crawl……in fact I’ll just lie down on the kitchen floor and take a breather from the mental anguish you’ve caused me.
Cheers and happy Thanksgiving
November 22nd, 2007 at 7:37 pm
Maddy – I need some kind of therapy, i’ll double down on the brownies and hope for a smile in the stink
