I'm Sorry, Sir, This Trip To The Woodshed Is One-Way Only

Poor Dustin didn't believe the power of Grampa Style, and by the end he was longing for the relative comfort of soiled diapers, loud wives, and second-rate ice cream. After the end of the fourth game and my fourth W, I stepped in front of him and moved my arms slightly back and forth.

"What's that?" he asked me.

"Oh, nothin'." I tells him. "Just doing a little sweeping."

67% improvement--I am nearly MEDIOCRE! I could be a triple digit average by JUNE! Go me.

99, 133, 154 (9 X X / 8 8 8 X X 9) and 107.

As a wise man once said in a drunken stupor, back up in your ass with the ressurrection.

Kingpin, Not A Pauper

A smile that said yes even when the words were unsure.

KBv2 times two. That's all you American women are good for, ordering in restaurants and spending men's money. Bitch, you don't have a future. Lay down honey, you're playing possum. Eyeball:Emilio::mother::daughter. Speak on it, my nigga QT, speak on it.

A subpar 80, and a 103 to run my sudden hot streak in bowling to 6 out of the last 7 games at the century mark. (Before this year, I roughly averaged 70 and that's probably being generous.)

And in the middle of that, a 1motherfucking55, outdoing my best by 20+.

The scorecard:
9 9 8 9 X X / / / / /7

Hot damn, the kid's catching fire like Richard Pyror.

"I overreacted."

MAD SPOILERS WARNING, SON


Kill Bill volume 2 (a million trillion stars):
I loved v1 (AHH). I mean, outside of LotRotK it was the blow-away movie of the year in '03. Now, I don't get hyped up about the movies too much, not prone to hyperbole, so you can best believe when I say...

Volume 2 kicked Volume 1's ASS.

David Carradine, master of the flute, for Best Supporting Actor? Daaaaaaaamn straight! The Superman solioquy alone is the first time something in my mind about pop culture has been changed by a movie character's viewpoint since Hooper in Chasing Amy. You wants great reveals we gots your great reveals: Budd's sword and where he kept it, the Bride's name--what an eyeball popper that was for me since I avoided spoilers. GRRRRRRRRRRRREAT. The Pai Mei sequence on it's own is enough to get this thing Best Picture--mad dap for Gordon Liu even if I like Sonny Chiba better. How she got rid of Elle (especially after some Rock/Austin X7 buildup) and Bill--MWAH.

Tarantino playing Office Space in the titty bar damn near soiled my armor, as did the whole Sister Sledge scene after (strange eletronic noise--hey, I won't give that away) checked into her hotel.

There's your name. There was your name.

Congratulations.

Poor Emilio.

Mace or the flashlight.

I could keep going for days, you know. Rufus...he's the man. [Stay for the credits if you really want to know just how much the man he really is.]

Point is...oh, and Elle's "book report" before she got her money back. Yeah, that blew my hinges off too.

POINT IS FUCKDAMMIT you WILL see this, you will thank your deity of choice, and then you WILL see it again.

I bow before Quentin Tarantino. HARD.

Consider me bloody satisfied.

Everything Old Is New Again

I just wasn't made for these times.

See, some guys are into it. The Hunt. The Chase. Some guys are like Steve Irwin and they just can do it. They look forward to the preamble and the setup and all that chewy goodness.

I am not one of those guys.

I hate this period, it drives me insane. It makes me wish I could go the Wizard of Oz and gets me some courage because...you know, it just drives me nuts. The whole stakeout thing and playing Do You Like Me Check Yes No Or Maybe. I know now that when it comes up to the actual dates and dating itself, I'm quite fine with those things. And some have told me I'm excellent.

But all the shit before it, just drives me nuts. I'm talking "if it weren't for my horse I wouldn't've spent that year in college". Women need to come with subtitles.

And Steve help me, I'm about yea away from asking her out next week.

The moral of the story, as usual, is I need professional help.

Oh, and motherfuck President Fuckface for cancelling 24 tonight. Fucking Eugene.

Another Broken Campaign Promise

This one is...that there is going to be one.

Well, I found out some relocation of the family is going on, since this is a high-rent district (possibly out of state--YIKES). Plus, the filiming would make miss Comic-Con, and I gotta hurry up this script to big Kev so he can make another money making move.

So I drop out of the race and throw my support behind Kerry.

Besides, 2016 is when it'll count.
