F'n Chuck Norris

I really wanted to use the actual quote, but I think dropping the F-bomb in a post title is just a bit extreme. Now if I were talking to whoever is currently reading this, I most likely would have said it. But that's an entirely different thing. I find I can get away with saying a lot more than I can in writing. At least when I say something it's not as easy to refrence. Besides, I can say it in a way that doesn't rely on the the curse word to get a laugh. Anyway, that concludes the paragraph explaining why I didn't just write fuck. Now on to the reason for the quote.

I stopped off at my local Globo Gym to make sure everything was still on for my dodgeball leagues (Gold's Gym actually, but probably the inspiration for Globo Gym). And guess what? Those snotty, image peddling bastards dropped all the individuals that signed up. So now if I want to beat the life out of ponchy middle aged men enjoying a mid-life crisis I have to round up a collective of 12 guys (girls are welcome too... if the guys on the team are OK with not winning I'm down with that too). Not only that, but instead of just paying the individual cost of 70 bucks to join I have to raise $400.00 to play. I might con my school into paying for all of this somehow, but in the meanwhile if there's any able-bodied people out there in the Springfield-ish area who want to play dodgeball, drop me a comment.

In an unrelated but equally annoying story, my apartment complex now acts as my mother. Well, not my mother, but some kind of room-invading, facist, evil parent. Pretty much like Mussolini the step-dad. They left me the notice that they would be entering my apartment to change a filter and check for bugs like usual. It's a little invasive and happens every three months or so, but I never really cared much about it. "Let them enjoy looking at my awesome stuff, only to remember that they aren't cool enough to own it" I thought. Only this time I got a 'report card' after they left. Apparently they went through everything in my place and rated it. Everything from the front door to the bedrooms to the bathroom, living room and kitchen. I got "OK" in every category. And if I hadn't? I'd make sure to voice my apathy in a way that was constructive. Possibly by egging their office.

But what I'm going to do for sure is rig up some kind of surprise for the next time they come here. I was thinking something along the lines of hiding when they come in and jumping out of a random place screaming about the voices. Or maybe when they test my smoke detector it electrocutes them. Or some other, as yet, unthought of action. Because really, you come in my underground lair, you takes your chances.

That's all for today kids, tune in next time for Scotty Quest and Mr. Barry's Mass Transit Adventure.

P.S. Embarrassing thing I've been meaning to clear up. When I called Amy a 'Grade A' woman, I was under the impression that I was talking to my friend Amy from Georgia who also reads my blog. Then when I was checking for something else I said in a comment I noticed that you said you were a 'Tim fan at heart', at which point I also noticed myself saying "shit." So to Tim-Amy, my bad. Any and all sexual harassment was made under the assumption that you were a different girl. Don't worry though, I'll still give you the benefit of the doubt that you are a 'grade A' woman.

    I hate you and you probably know why as well as who this is. If I cursed I'd call you a name. ;-P

    Whoa, the posting above me scare me a little. Sounds almost stalkeriffic.

    Your landlords are friggin' psycho. Make sure you send them a card asking when you will be allowed to tour their grand estate and make your own evaluations. When I read crap like this it reminds me why I'm happy to not have to deal with landlords right now. My last landlord had one SMALL dumpster for 16 townhouses with trash pick-up once a week. Then he'd get pissed off when the rednecks living next door to me had to leave their 6 empty boxes of 24-pack Pabst Blue Ribbon outside of the dumpster. What an ignoramus. But if he'd ever criticized my belongings, I'm pretty sure I'd spray paint his car or something.

    The last landlord before him though was nice until I accidentally left a candle burning in the kitchen whilst I drove 30 miles to go to a party. He called me after the fire department had busted my door in, and then came over and sat me down in the living room just like he was scolding a bad kid and told me that I was no longer allowed to have candles in my house. Oh geez! I screw up once and all my toys get taken away...

    Before your next inspection, I recommend getting some blow up dolls and setting them in closets just so that when they barely touch them while they're "spraying for bugs" the dolls will leap out at them. It also helps if you spread some really horrible porno mags everywhere and leave some empty liquor bottles lying about.

  4. Wow, that sucked. In a desperate attempt to wittle down by work day without actually accomplishing anything, I went to the above mentioned stalker site, took a fun little quiz and found out that it was all a clever ruse! Now some chick named Erin knows that my biggest crush is Keanu Reeves and what I'm most attracted to is pants. All my secrets have now been revealed. How will I ever achieve world domination now?!

    We'll get a dodgeball game going when you and Barry get out here. We've played 3 or 4 times now. I'm sure we can get one going.

  6. Yes, you're ruined Wendyloo, RUINED! When the legions of good find about your pants fixation they'll make sure to outfit almost every soldier in a pair so as to distract you on the battlefield. Combat lust it's called.

    Also, that's pretty bad Kimmy. If they actually sat me down to talk to me about something I think I would just go completely Michael Douglas circa Falling Down on them. So it's really in everyone's best interest that that didn't happen.

    Finally Har-dog. When we get out there we will play a kick ass game of dodgeball. And maybe some ultimate frisbee too. And some hacky-sack, and while we're at it let's get stoned and go to a Phish concert... You know, let's quit while we're ahead with the dodgeball.

    Scott,
    This is Amy. The grade-A woman you were referring to. I have really been enjoying the blogs lately, and I appreciate how you reply to everybody's comments. I think that you so carefully toe the line with inappropriate, but the problem is that I can't stop laughing when I read your stuff!!! Great work!
