Super Bowl Week and Time to Lose Some Money
Thanks to the compulsive gamblers around the world there is more than one way to lose your life savings other than picking a winner (Pittsburgh -6.5), I bring you to the world of prop bets. Any element of the game itself or broadcast has been brought into the betting pool and be damn sure theres odds on it. Some of my favorites for this year:
How many food references will John Madden make...
Kansas City Tumblr Meetup (potentially?!) →
I’m working and I’m working hard. There are enough Tumblr’s in the KC Metro to pull this off and potentially tolerate one another for a couple hours. I am still testing the waters and so far have received some good feedback.
Names I have: Burbs, Damion, Saturday, Menstrom, Adricon, AmyCarr, Evrt, Ginger, Visual
If I am missing anyone or you have a fellow Tumblr who would be...

Secure Fail Proof Packaging
I haven’t ordered a book off of Amazon in sometime so when my package arrived the other day, I was quickly reminded how tightly they shrink wrap the damn things. You could drop your book in the Mariana Trench, retrieve it 3 months later in the same condition you left it. Good for worse case scenario shipping, bad case scenario for impatient package openers with scissors.
Not the Jared Diet
But a unhealthy variation there of. I am currently addicted to the $5 sub menu at Subway and more specifically the Tuna Sub. Simply fantastic. Tuna is an acquired taste for many people but tuna salad even more so due to additional undesirable ingredients. My mother introduced to the tuna sandwich at a very young age and my father subsequently taught me how to criticize my mothers cooking. ...
Childish Behavior and the "oooo-ahhh" Factor
Just wasted a solid 2 minutes of my life scrolling along the date tick marks in Time Machine.

GPOYW Theme PSA
Tomorrow is that day of the week when the internet loves you most and gratuity reins all thanks to gratuitous picture of yourself Wednesday (GPOYW).
In my continuous effort to keep things at a heightened GPOYW frenzy, a theme will again be injected into the mix. As always, themes are not required but simply add to the awesomeness.
Tomorrow’s theme: Your best presidential pose. You know,...

GPOYW Recap (Aaron's lameo edition) →
The true passion and community love for GPOYW really came out yesterday. In my absence everyone picked up their GPOYW bootstraps, marched on and a thousands thanks to all.
This weeks recap is unfortunately sponsored by google search (last 24hrs), but it still gives you an opportunity to see everyone’s gratuitous picture of yourself Wednesday best from yesterday. Next week I promise a...
Mental Health Break
aaron: i just typed (blank) into google and clicked the link going straight to (blanks) page so it would show up in their googlytics
aaron: googlytics bombing!
lady: hahahaha
lady: the things you do for fun
aaron: unnecessary and primarily tasteless
Awkward with Mom
Mom: So Norton Anti-Virus runs out in three days. What is the new software I need?
Aaron: AVG version 8.0.
Mom: ABG?
Aaron: No, no, no. AVG. A as in apple, V as in....(pause and smile)
Me: uh...(bursts out laughing)
Mom: V as in Victor you mean...?
Aaron: Yes! Victor, thats it!
Me: (laughing in awkwardness) oh man...
Aaron: okay...this is now very awkward.
Mom: What? What is wrong with Victor?
Me: Nothing mom, Victor works great.
(we were both thinking V as in Vagina. obviously we can't say that to mom)
**I praise that the advancement in my mothers age keeps her oblivious to such obvious innuendos**
Maturing tastes are for the dishonest
I don’t care if you are 4 or 94, Froot Loops are amazing and will continue to be amazing.
Next time you are at the grocery store, buy your favorite childhood cereal and be proud. Eat a bowl and you’ll wonder why you ever strayed from what worked for so long.
Pertaining to College Football as a whole
The only reason I watch is to scream at my television repeatedly “THAT WON’T WORK IN THE NFL!” The following college football plays and formations would never work in the NFL for obvious reasons:
the option
“Wildcat” formation
hail mary every 3rd play
running a draw play every down thats not a hail mary
I still struggle to find the difference between high school...
Moderate Consumption
me: i just went to the new grocery store downtown, hit up the salad bar and proceeded to eat a 1.5lbs of lettuce and other awesome stuff.
lauren: 1.5 lbs!
lauren: grosssssssss

Cookingbusters
I officially debunked the urban myth this evening that basil can fix any misstep in a cooking mishap. Or is it oregano? Shit…
Next week on Cookingbusters, Aaron attempts to not fuck up Mac n Cheese.
GPOYW Theme PSA
Tomorrow is that wonderful day where you put your internets best up for all to see, GPOYW. Funny, awkward, shy, or just plain wtf, all is welcome and accepted with open arms. Continually striving to forever improve the theme concept, I am again moving forward with another this week.
Theme: the High Five. Find someone or something to high five. Bonus points for strangers and double bonus for...
Instances in which I drink beer
- stressful day at work
- successful day at work
- I don’t feel like eating dinner
- when dinner is Chipotle
- my mother calls me on the phone
- the beer in the fridge isn’t mine
Just to name a few. Beer is just wonderful. Tonight’s message is brought to you by the letter B. Representing (b)eer as well as (B)oulevard Pale Ale.
Desparation
I would kill someone’s crazy ex-b/f or g/f for Photoshop right now. (sigh) dammit.
Anyone with a CS-CS4 CD and license to spare, I’d be willing to bargin via PayPal. I’m not going to beg but am not above it. E-mail me with $$ or solutions.
