ESPN can't add...

So, I'm checking my fantasy football team for the week, and seeing who my "competition" is (if you can even call the Vance's team competition).

Here's the projected scores:

As you probably can't see (though it should enlarge if you click on it) my team is on the right and Vance's team is on the left. You can see the little checkmarks, showing who is going to win each match-up and a checkmark on the bottom, showing which team is going to win. They have Vance's team checked as the winner.

As you can also see, I added up the projected points and those have me winning 122-105. So which is it ESPN? Don't hide from me. I'm onto your little game.

*sidenote* I think my team will lose. I'm terrible.

*EDIT* And now Fake LJ has gotten himself suspended. What a d-bag.

Phone call...

So, I'm sitting at my computer yesterday morning, trying to figure out a way to salvage my fantasy football team, when the phone rang. I looked at the caller ID and didn't recognize the number. Typically, I screen those calls, since I don't normally talk to people, but I thought, "just go for it Brent...confront your fear!" and I picked up the phone.

Brent: Hello.
Caller: Good morning Deb.
Brent: I think you have the wrong number...Susan.
Caller: Huh? What? Oh, wrong number. Sorry.

He thought I sounded like a Deb? DEB! He got me confused with someone who I can only assume is his daughter from his second marriage (I have an active imagination).

But I showed him. Bet he's writing a similar blog now about how he called a wrong number and the guy he talked to thought his name was Susan.

Thank you James Lee...

A few months ago, I had an awesome idea for a t-shirt and I begged James to work on it for me.

Then today, I received the finished product as a birthday present. I must admit, I could not be happier...

And here it is, actually on a t-shirt...

Go Bay Area rap!!

This is gross...

So, I'm scouring craigslist, looking for a mini fridge, when I come across this one:

http://minneapolis.craigslist.org/hsh/873754416.html

"Well, it came that time to start clearing out the bar area of our basement...again. Due to an increasing collection of guitar amps and exercise equipment, i found there was no room for our mini fridge. Offhand, I don't know what brand it is. Has a fake wood finish, and though i imagine it was white inside, it's yellow now. There are a few cracks in some of the trays, but it doesn't smell horrible and it does a great job of cooling things. What more do ya want for $20? Price is final, cash only, and you need to pick it up yourself."

What more do I want? Oh, I don't know...maybe something that won't give me scabbies?

Used to be white, but now is yellow? Has it been smoking? Are you serious? Doesn't smell horrible? So, it smells like what? Hurl?

I'm pretty sure this baby has already been snapped up...

Are Zubaz back?

Hmmm...I don't know, how about we ask this fella?

Guess so! And now, with 28% MORE homosexual! (not that there's anything wrong with that...though there is something wrong with being a tool, like this guy...)

Which "bag" would you choose...

The following was found on the side of a box of trash bags at Om's lake house...

It seems to me that Member's Mark makes a superior "unit" that will not "malfunction" when you "need it most".

Gross.

I'm a sleuth...

OK, now this is going to be difficult, since no one watches either of these shows, but this is pretty amazing.

Last season, the show Back to You was getting terrible ratings. So, 5 episodes in, they recast the part of Gracie Carr to try to save the show. However, that didn't work and it was cancelled.

This season, Gary Unmarried has started off to lukewarm reviews. After the pilot, Gary's daughter, Louise Brooks, was replaced by another actress for the rest of the episodes coming out this season.

What do these have in common? Take a look to the right.

Both Gracie Carr and Louise Brooks were initially played by Laura Marano. And both of the characters were axed early on in the shows.

What has this kid done to deserve this? Was she the reason no one watches these shows? Has she been channeling her inner-Lohan on the set and they couldn't wait to get rid of her?

There has to be some explanation here. The viewing public (of which I'm probably the only one who watched/watches both these shows) have a right to know!!

Very friendly...

So, I'm at the gas station, filling up my ride when I notice the following "help wanted" sign:

If you're the part time cashier at the gas station, what are the odds that you are "very friendly"? A million to one? I think they'd get more applicants if they had something like this:

Amish mismanagement?

So, Petredis and I were driving to the airport from Om's Amish house early on Sunday morning. Very early. 5 am early.

So, we stopped at a gas station at about 5:30. In the middle of nowhere.

And I go in there and they had TWO people working the registers. At 5:30. On a Sunday morning. In Amish country.

Just because you're not allowed to use electricity, you'd think you'd be able to figure out that the optimal amount of employees needed at that time was maybe one.

An "honesty box" to drop the payments might have sufficed...
