Short Bus Musings

I had grand hopes to post one scary thing per day for a month, but my slackerness prevailed and I am down to one day. So, I present 3 of the things that scare me most from the world of Horror cinema.

#3 - Scary Chicks
Nope, not talking about Paris or Brittany, but rather Samara (The Ring) and Toshio (The Grudge). Not so much the way they look, but the way they move:

#2 - Zombies - particularly the fast moving kind
They were bad enough when they moved slow, but now that they run too, you can’t get away!!!

#1 - Clowns
Yep - if you know me, you know I hate clowns. Everything from scary ones (all) to the alleged funny ones - which are scary ones pretending to be funny until they get you alone. This one scared me from an early age:

Football can be such a funny game. Look at this video from a Division III game:

I love it - but in the history of laterals, you must go with this as the best. (I love the band member that gets clobbered at the end.)

Okay - sorry for the lack of postings. I’ve been sick the last week or so (still am) along with the boys in my house. Strep for the most part. I’m struggling through today so stay tuned and I will try and get something mildly interesting posted.

Oh - and the Diet Coke went fine, after day 3 the headaches stopped so that was a plus. It was funny how much of a habit it is to just mindlessly reach for a drink out of the mug (vat) even when you knew there was nothing in it. At any rate - I have taken a liking to the blue Powerade that comes out of the fountain, and while I haven’t totally sworn off DC, I feel like I am free of it’s bonds.

…I say No, NO, NO!!!! You will have to excuse me if my postings are less coherent than usual this week. In our company “Amazing Race”, this week’s detour is no soda pop for the entire team for the week. Those of you that have worked closely with me in the past know that this is not a very happy thing. What??? How am I supposed to go without my 100+ ounces of Diet Coke?!?!?! They payoff is not even worth it - 15 points? That’s it?!?! @$%^#@@$%#$@#%!!!!!!

Okay - I’m okay….

Now we just about said forget the whole thing, it isn’t worth it - besides, we are already half way to our goal of 1000 miles and it is only week #6. But then my team, other teams, the crazy dog lady that works next door and smokes like a chimney, all started questioning my manhood and telling me how bad I suck. (If you are a guy, you know that this is the last straw.) So I’m in. The Lack of Caffeine headache started up about 2 pm and kept rolling until I couldn’t take any more and went to bed at 9:30.

Oddly enough - I feel okay today. Although I wouldn’t suggest it to anyone.
