Monthly Post

I saw a huge fire truck yesterday, the ladder kind, parked in the drive through at Mrs. Winner's chicken restaurant. I couldn't find a picture of a Nashville truck, but this one gives you an idea. It reminded me of other strange things I've seen. Like the two dicked pig in Puxico, Mo. He had a regular dick and then a second one sticking out below his ass (I guess the pig version of a taint). Can't seem to find a picture of that.

Saw Robin Zander of Cheap Trick once. At Disney World. With his kids. Go figure. When I lived in Memphis, I went out to get the paper early one Sunday morning and saw a six foot black man in a pink tutu walking down the street. The guy in the picture isn't black, but you get the idea. It was sorta like a cartoon. I bent over to pick up the paper, looked up, and there he was. I closed my eyes and rubbed them really hard, but when I opened them, he was still there. Didn't say a word, just kept walking.

Saw a video once of a man running and shitting at the same time. Wish I had been there to see it live.


Saw a Ford Explorer come flying across the grass median on interstate 40 once. Looked like it was headed straight for me, but I passed him and he crossed my side of the road behind me. Scared the shit out of me. But not like the guy running and shitting.


Once saw a tall cowboy dancing with a man in a three piece business suit. Not really a big deal until the cowboy rips off his shirt and has this freaky leather harness thing underneath. Don't want to post a picture of that, I still have nightmares.

Saw the jungles of Mexico from the top of a pyramid with hurricane Mitchell off in the distance. I've seen a baby being born face first. It didn't look comfortable at all. You don't even want to know what that looks like.


I once saw a chick that had her nipples pierced with a chain between the piercings, connected to a chain that was hooked into her navel piercing, connected by yet another chain to the piercing in her labia. Again, not something you want to see.


Just a small list of things I've seen.

Cards Win! Cards Win!

For the Fourth of July, The Girlfriend and I decided to drive to St. Louis and take in a baseball game. They played the hated Cubs this weekend in a three game series. We had tickets to Saturday's game and let me tell you, it was quite possibly the best baseball game I have ever seen. We got to St. Louis about 1 p.m. and went to park at the hotel. I know my new FJ sits kinda high, but I didn't really take into account the roof rack. I parked in the garage and as I pulled into the space we heard a loud "KATHUNK" and the truck shuddered. Apparently there was a low hanging concrete beam that I hadn't noticed. Here are what the results look like.

I now have nice little white racing stripes on the top of my black roof rack. Oh well.


The game started about three, The Girlfriend found us great seats in the shade although it wasn't really necessary since the temp only got to about 82. It was pretty slow until the later innings with Chicago pretty much in control. Then, behind 4-3 in the bottom of the ninth, bases loaded, two outs, Rick Ankiel slaps a 2 run single and the Cards win! A great day at the ballpark.

Afterwards, we ate at Charlie Gitto's Pasta house (I will let The Girlfriend tell you about it) and walked over to the Arch. She couldn't remember going up as a little girl so we decided to give it a try. Unfortunately it was sold out, but there was a huge crowd forming underneath it and when she asked a park ranger, they said there was a fireworks show (even though it was now the 5th). So we sat down at the steps of the Arch and watched as a barge was pushed up the Mississippi and then we were treated to a twenty or thirty minute fireworks display. It all topped off a great day.
