old man bites tenderly

I think the below video is hi-larious if

1. you realize that it is a japanese game show which takes place in an open library with patrons in it.
2. you have the audio on to hear the incessant man giggling.

also, if you watch the whole thing or most of it, the translations of the tasks to be performed are damn funny too.

These Team blade photos should have been in prior post :






Team Blade!

Skiing, sport of the chalky (white man). I tried snowboarding once last winter, it was fun, yet challenging, and i was sore as hell for 2-3 days. A couple of weeks ago, when I went up for the first time this winter, I was set on trying snow blades, something my friend Missy has mastered and promised was way easy and fun (we are team blade, as will be made official as soon as we get our custom sweatshirts made). Unfortunately, Ski santa fe no longer rents blades so i ended up on the shortest skis possible, and did pretty good.
Today, we returned to the slopes and rented me some blades on the way up.
I am tired as hell, and will likely be at least a little sore. Apparently, I am a natural as i fell a total of 4 times in 4 hours. Not bad.
Behold:





Perren aka Permen is not in any of these b/c he was camera man. WIll get some shots of him next time

Attention, Cleveland

I know you are damn cold. 7 degrees for the past 2 days, I hear. Despite this, I thought you'd all like to know that according to Forbes, Cleveland is NOT among the top 10 most miserable cities in the U.S. Whaaaaaa?
That's right. Hard to believe especially when some of the top 10 do include NYC., Philly, L.A., Chicago, Charlotte NC and Providence RI and Stockton and Modesto , CA. Detroit and Flint Mi are the other two, both in the top 3 not surprising, many might expect cleveland to round out the top 3, but no sir.
The rankings are based on commute time, taxes, weather, unemployment and violent crime stats. Now that i think of it, no Baltimore either! Granted, I've spent no time there so have no idea but I'm always reading about how damn realistic the wire is.
Anyhow, Clevelanders should swell with some pride here, I think. Maybe have a par-tay. At the very least call some attention to this miraculous happening. Spread the word, what have you.
In the immortal words of fat boy drew carey, cleveland rocks.
I know it's February and you're all pissed off and depressed. That is because you need to visit a sunny place like santa fe where winter does not have any negative connotations, other that the mass exodus of any driving skill, what little there was to begin with , for all these cowboys in their monster trucks or tricked out hondas. Scary. But seriously, come visit. Don't worry about the bad drivers. We're insured.

Saturday, it's a saturday

Waiting for the water to boil for my mac and cheese, thought I'd do a little post. Last night, I happened upon the Scientology south park episode on rerun. I had seen it before, and god damn is it as hilarious as i remembered. If you have not seen this gem, I strongly recommend you track it down. That one and the mormon one too. I sincerely love Trey Parker and Matt Stone. Hi-larity.
I had a few clients yesterday, before I was home channel surfing, the last one of these was an hour and a half with a kinda crazy, who I've mentioned to MedUSA. I like this client a lot, actually. I've decided to accept the fact that she takes fucking FOREVER to get off the table and emerge from the room once done. ANyway, last night I was addressing a pain in her foot and she said " WOW, that is so amazing. It's like as soon as you touched it, it doesn't hurt. Like Jesus, healing the masses or something (laughs). Maybe he was a massage therapist , and no one knows that".
So, I'm pretty sure I was just compared to Jesus, which I'm pretty sure has never happened before, in my life.
I'm off to enjoy my annie's mac and cheese. a la the son of god. peace out -
