My sanity. And this is different from the rest of the year how? It's a conscious choice during Lent? Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Actually, I'm inclined to agree with you...though I do go to one or two hockey games a year, just to drink and watch the fights, and I can't possibly imagine sitting through a live figure skating show unless the girls were naked or there was some Harding-Kerrigan style entertainment on the schedule.

Can we staple the previous homeowner of your house to the fucker who hit my daughter's car Friday night, dip them in glue, and throw them in a pit full of fiberglass and various biting insects? (The guy currently under my skin was drunk, driving on a suspended license, without insurance, and tried to run on foot. She had some guy friends there who chased him down and "subdued" him till the cops arrived, but his arrest doesn't seem like punishment enough for my anger. Liability insurance...buy it people!)

I've already got bar exam vibes going out this week to one of my favorite people, who's been studying an insane amount these last several weeks, but I suppose I can spare some more. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Winner! Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Similarly, depending on mood...though right now my video card or something is giving me fits. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

And for the second time 32 seconds after that? Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

The ones on my feet. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Unfortunately yes. I should probably switch it back to something a little less painful for everyone.

Please turn in your man card. For not following suck-ass mind-numbers like hockey, car racing, or pro wrestling? I think not. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

I think the hockey and nascar support groups have been merged together and are managed by the rainbow coalition. I'd suggest giving them a call. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Boxers are a working breed, and they love their kittens. Though not known for their herding skills, my boxer & bulldog know the command "Get your kitty", which means "I let the damn cat out to explore the back yard and it's been long enough. She keeps running away and I'm sick of chasing her....please herd her back into the house" and they'll work together to accomplish it. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!"

I've had two absolute horrors. The first one I was younger and just bailed without giving a reason. The second I stuck it out with the addition of copious quantities of alcohol (thus the advent of "can't drink a stupid girl smart"). Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!"

a) The simplicity of that is hilarious. b) 2000 jumps? Holy shit, you've been pouring it on the last two years...what'd ya do, get a tandem rating? Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

If the snow sucks by the time you get here, and you have the slightest inkling to throw yourself out of an airplane, there should be decent weather and a Caravan flying in the Tri-Cities (140 miles SW). Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

I'm not. It's 5:30, and I'm headed out the door to go drink with one friend for a couple of hours, then meet some skydivers for steak dinners and more drinks. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

I can't imagine he still gets enjoyment out of it. Judging by his face, getting knocked around must be pretty run of the mill by now. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Did you type "posting" twice just so it would take more time? Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

I think it would be a wildly entertaining experience. I'd probably break my neck spinning my head around to see which of the people approaching could actually see me. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Oh, so now it's YOUR side of the state? We are all just renting from Miss Krissane, are we then? Ok then I get the other half of the state! Oh wait...that's the poopy half. I got shafted in this deal!!! Yes you did, since the poopy half is mine (along with all the decent weather). Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

So I was watching The Departed last night and thinking the character development was really complex. The basic premise is that the cops have a mole in the mob, and the mob has a mole within the police ranks. The part that was getting to me was how they seemed to be the same person, perhaps with dual personalities ala Fight Club, or with some unstated but overwhelming motivation to sabotage both sides. Over an hour into the movie, I suddenly realized none of this was true. The two actors are Matt Damon and Leonardo DeCaprio, who don't even really look all that similar until you put their young, girlish faces and personalities up next to a manly man like Jack Nicholson. I mean, Scorsese wouldn't put TWO ladyboys in a "guy flick", would he?! They had to be the same character! Realizing my perception of the story was all wrong and I should probably just start it over, I hit the button and went to bed. Maybe tonight I'll give it another shot.
