Where No Mortal Has Gone Before.

Ya just never know who is going to call.

First it's the Asst to the Attorney General. Then it's the Madison Mounted Police. And now I will have the opportunity to be escorted into a biker gangs secret clubhouse. Seems members of this organization (hell, I don't even want to mention the name LOL) won a billards tournament and want a great photo. So I'm the guy. I suppose I won't wear my flowered pink shirt and instead look to borrow someones leathers so I can be a bitchen bad ass and chill, hoping I don't get hosed by some big dude named Lug Wrench.

Be watching for Thursdays blog. I hope there is one.

So what up with Wii. We decided to pull the trigger and buy a Wii and wouldn't you know there are zero Wiis for sale in the Norther Hemisphere. DJ was disappointed. Buy More had an ad in the Sunday paper selling them but . . . they only received 6 and they were gone in like 1 hour. . . . . . why even MENTION you have them!!! Almost like a bait and switch spam. So we bought some Wii games instead and will wait.

The one thing you do not want to be around is a Toyota. If one is behind you you never know when you will get rear ended and if one is in front of you they are probably driving with a 7 car length gap and slowing everybody down.

Just an observation.
---------------------------------

The Grammy's. Not sure how many people watch the Grammy's. It's the only music award show I'll watch because it seems most of the others shows are 90% Hip Hop. Not that there is anything wrong with Hip Hop (I like the Black Eye Peas (also called black eye beans, a subspecies of the cowpea)) but not all the time. But the Grammy's are different.

What is different is well . . . you have Lady Gaga which always makes everything interesting and of course a woman I respect, Pink.

I first started to respect Pink in the 2007 or 2008 Grammy's when she sang Acapulco . . . . .OK OK cappella (I'd get dozens of emails correcting me if I did not say it right) and was just floored.

So now I enjoy her music and her "Cirque Sol a" talents. I'm also am amazed that she does not ever lip sync in concert and can sing upside down 20 feet off the ground.




But what sticks in my mind about last nights show was the Micheal Jackson song. I now feel Jackson was probably one of the most misunderstood entertainers ever. It seems almost that he wanted people to totally misunderstand him and for people to think he was whacko. OK OK - he was whacko but seriously - for good reason and the people around him made him that way. Too bad his doctor killed him.

ANYWAY - this is an outstanding song he wrote. Hauntingly beautiful. Well done Micheal from a guy that never really appreciated you.

Of course many of us guy guys watched part of the Pro Bowl Flag Football contest where the front lines would tickle each other and then fall if they accidentally got near the quarterback. Good Grief, and they wonder why only 37 people watched the game?

Driving around Saturday, Elweed and I went to The Bell for burgers and they have a $2 meat raffle. Huge stakes, 1 in 20 chance to win with proceeds going to the Waupun Animal Shelter. Goes on until Easter, every Saturday, starts at 1:00. As we were driving back to Cbus I took back roads, always looking for photos and one popped up.

Well a tree popped up and I liked it's starkness. I have this database in my head for all sorts of locations waiting for perfect lighting or whatever. This has been there a while and I had to stop.

I love Oaks.

Speaking of brain databases. If you were a Battlestar Galactica fan you really have to watch Caprica. It tells the story of how "Colonial humanity first created the robotic cylons, who would later plot to destroy human civilization in retaliation for their enslavement." (wow - is THAT dry). The 2-hour Pilot can still be seen and while it starts slow ends GREAT!!

For Deadwood fans one of the stars is Trixie.

The show is shot in Vancouver (is EVERYTHING shot in Vancouver now??) In fact most of the scenes in the movie are real. Caprica is actually Yaletown and there really is a skytrain exactly like the one that blew up.

OH one last thing - (you can see how my mind is working). The new high speed rail. People in Sun Prairie are complaining as their land values NEXT TO THE TRAIN TRACKS will drop in value.

WHAT? Did they not know of the rail road tracks in their back yard? HELLO? This is like people living next to air ports complaining about air traffic noise!!

A funny joke - I don't post many - bear with me.

Sitting together on a train was Obama, George Bush Jr., a little old lady, and a young blonde girl with large breasts.

The train goes into a dark tunnel and a few seconds later there is the sound of a loud slap.

When the train emerges from the tunnel, Obama has a bright red hand print on his cheek.

No one speaks.

The old lady thinks:
Obama must have groped the blonde in the dark, and she slapped him.

The blonde girl thinks:
Obama must have tried to grope me in the dark, but missed and fondled the old lady and she slapped him.

Obama thinks:
Bush must have groped the blonde in the dark. She tried to slap him but missed and got me instead.

George Bush thinks:
I can't wait for another tunnel, so I can slap Obama again.

Have a Monday!
