Cat, Duct Tape, Ouch

As much as I don't like cats, this is just wrong (although I do have to admit I chuckled a little at first sight).

Jersey Mishap

Ever since I got my gray Ryan Braun and blue Prince Fielder jerseys that is all I've worn up to the bar, switching off from day to day. Well, Friday I had a small accident with the Braun shirt. I was at the bar and went into the restroom. I pulled Mr. Winky out and started to go about my business. After a little while I started to feel dampness on my thigh. In horror I looked down to see my stream was bouncing off the jersey and hitting my shorts. Since I didn't notice it right away a rather large wet spot had already accumulated. Awe fuck. I quickly went to the sink just as one of my friends walked in. "What, do you pee on yourself?" Indeed I had. I tried to rinse everything off as well as I could. Thankfully the jersey hung low enough to cover the wet spot on my shorts. Of course the Renter noticed it right away. Funny thing is I wasn't even slightly embarrassed. I've done much worse before.

My only concern is the shirt fits me like a glove and I'm scared to wash it. Might have to smell like a urinal for a couple days till it fades away. And yes ladies, I'm single and I'm all yours.

Kick Out Of It

I pulled into the garage, got out and was reaching for the garage door button. The Renter drove up the driveway.

Renter: Did you do that on purpose?

Me, sheepishly smiling: What are you talking about?

Renter: Now I know you did! That guy was pissed!

You see, my neighborhood looks like the above (sorry, the Paint drawing I did wouldn't upload). The horizontal street is pretty busy and making a left hand turn at the stop light can take a while. People take a left a block sooner and take the winding road which spits them out right by my house, completely avoiding the stop light. Sometimes I take that route but the road is pretty rough. Nobody babies their car like I do so I don’t like to put the old Jeep through that. Since there are kids all around the neighborhood (ick) I usually take it pretty slow. I hate it when people come whipping through there.

I have this thing for luxury car owners. They’ll be the first ones to pass you and abruptly cut you off because they wanted to go five miles an hour faster. They are asshole drivers. Sure, I might be a little jealous of their vehicles, probably mostly because of the horsepower they have. My six cylinder Jeep is by far the slowest vehicle I’ve ever owned. When I’m on the road I’ll purposely “ignore” the turn signal of some broad in a Beemer who wants to change lanes. My tires stick out past my fenders, probably wouldn’t even scratch my car is we were to happen to make “incidental” contact.

Thursday there was a long line of cars at the light so I decided to take the rough road. I turned left, accelerated across the street and took it out of gear. Within seconds some guy in an Acura was on my ass. I was going about 15 miles an hour when I put it into second gear. I quickly slowed down to 10 miles an hour. I have a mesh window in back so I couldn’t exactly see his facial expression. Fuck it, I flipped on my turn signal and dropped it into first gear and crawled into my driveway with the speedometer reading zero. I could hear the guy in the Acura punch it hard accelerating to the end of the block, flying past the Renter who was waiting for me to pull in.

You don’t know what kind of a kick I get about doing shit like this.

This dude got arrested for selling dope to Wauwatosa high school students. He's 22. Does he look 22? Question of the day.

Rough Weekend

This last weekend, man, it was a rough one. It started out tame enough, corner bar at 6:00 for the half priced appetizer menu – otherwise known as dinner lately. After making sure that the Renter was home and the puppy was out I decided to stay at the bar for the evening. One chicken caso and seven pitchers later and I was on my way home for bed at about 11:00.

The puppy woke me up early on Saturday. Usually she sleeps in till 10:00 but for some reason she thought 8:00 was late enough. After letting her out I cleaned the kitchen. The Renter and I were going to her company outing (Brewers game) and an acquaintance from the bar was going with us. I don’t know the guy super well but we’ve chatted sports a lot. He’s older, 55 or so, and a pretty respectable person so I didn’t want the house looking like a pig pen if he were to happen to go inside. So with the kitchen clean I sat down and turned on the Badger game (playing Wofford, Northern Illinois, and Fresno State to start the season? Who starts the season with three lame duck teams in a row? 20th ranked Miami (FL) is already 2-0 in ACC games). A little before noon the Renter and I hit the bank and the local diner for some food. 2:00, back at home, the Renter tells me to wake her up at 3:30. “When are you going to clean?” “I’m not.” Needless to say I didn’t wake her up at 3:30. At 4:00 she woke up and found me in the basement lifting weights. “Why didn’t you wake me up?” “Why didn’t you clean?” This set off the fireworks to the point where she took a garbage bag into the living room and threw pretty much everything in to it – plates and forks included. I took a shower, filled up the cooler and went outside. 4:30 the friend showed up and by 5:00 the Renter had cooled off and we were on our way.

The Renter’s work knows how to throw a party. We were in a special section in Miller Park where you get two free beers with your game ticket and all the food you can handle. I started off with the usual, a plate of nachos covered in cheese and jalapeno peppers. I had taken one bite with two peppers before the national anthem was played. At the end of the anthem I had already started to sweat. I forgot that their peppers were the real deal. By the time I finished the plate I was one big sweaty mess. I followed that up with a burger. I didn’t want to eat too much, had to save some room for beer. The two free beverages were punched on my ticket within the first 20 minutes. The first two beverages were punched on the Renter’s ticket by the end of the first inning. Last year I resorted to keeping an eye out for little kids, tripping them, and swapping their un-punched ticked for my punched one. I think I paid for two beers the whole night. Kind of evil and cruel but hey, I drank pretty much for free. This year the Renter said I couldn’t do that so she went around and politely asked families if they were going to use the tickets for beverages or if she could have them. I liked my method better. However, without a knee being scraped she was able to hustle up 12 tickets. Our friend had four beers, I had the rest. They stopped serving at the end of the 8th inning. With one out left the Renter redeemed the four tickets we had left and we had a glorious table full of 16 ounce beers. Unfortunately for us the Brewers won (no bottom of the ninth) and we were forced to leave a couple full ones there.

I staggered out of there. My whole goal was to not run into anyone on the way out. I succeeded in that. However, I also met the Renter’s boss and stuck my foot in one of her co-worker’s husband’s ass on the escalator – in front of the Renter’s boss - none of which I remember actually doing. I got scolded for that on Sunday. I know the guy whose ass I stuck my foot in; he’s actually (gulp) kissed me on the cheek and grabbed my ass before. I told her it could have been worse, could have been her boss whose ass I kicked. She concurred and stopped bitching at me. Guess what I now have to do at her next work outing?

We also have this special tradition when leaving Miller Park. No matter who we go with we always have to take the Renter’s Liberty (I sure ain’t driving). Instead of following the big line of cars to get out of the parking lot we take the “side road,” hop a couple curbs and we’re out of there in a flash. Certainly couldn’t do it with your average car (although with the FA’s recent driving history he might do it unintentionally).

Later that evening I had a beer at a wedding reception at the corner bar’s banquet hall. One beer. Free beer a-flowing and I had one. Ladies and gents, I was pretty toasted.

Sunday I left the house for the Packer’s game around 11:00. Thankfully this week they had the pool sheets so I was able to drink for free. The building manager won the first two quarters and spotted me $5 (the second one with a 2 (?) in a 21-21 game). The Renter was trying to sell her Tom Brady jersey but surprise, nobody wanted that fag’s jersey on their back. Then she brought her laptop up and placed 15 orders for jerseys for people, collecting cash for some, a promise from others, all on my credit card. She didn’t even sell them for a profit. All this hassle for nothing. I see disaster written all over this.

After the Packers got their asses handed to them by the Cincinnati Bengals I went home to let the puppy out. The Renter had another great idea: let’s call over Mr. Fudd and put the living room couch in the basement! The couch I bought for the living room six months ago is a bit large and you can’t go from the living room to the kitchen without having to step over part of it. I told her I was in no shape to be moving furniture. “That’s ok, Mr. Fudd and I will do it all.” Guess who was sweating his balls off trying to get a six piece sectional in the basement? I know I lift weights and shit but that’s just for 30 seconds at crack. Moving furniture sucks ass.

(I actually started riding the bike after working out. I noticed the leaves have started to fall and I have a huge black walnut in my back yard. I don’t need anyone saying, “He died raking leaves?”)

So now I guess the Renter wants to move the 61” TV to the basement also. I have this strange feeling the it won’t be operational by the time it gets down all the stairs.

Back to the Bar

Every summer I like to stain my deck. I know it probably doesn't need to be done every year but the deck is kind of special to me since my dad and I built it and without the free labor I figured it would have cost about $7,000. So I like to keep it looking nice and well maintained. Staining the deck isn't too hard, just takes a little time. The biggest problem with it is that it seems to take a week to dry. I stained it 11 days ago and I think its finally dry. Since I usually don't drink inside my house I've been going up to the bar every day. You'd I'd died or something. "Hey B to the..., where you been?" I hadn't really gone to the bar often this whole summer. I was either enjoying nice sunny weather or huddled under a waterproof canopy, all while enjoying $.40 cans of Natural Light. But now I've grown to appreciate going to the bar again, having their half price apps and socializing. I'm not sure if I can go back to just sitting outside with the puppy and some meaningless Brewers game on. I'm going to try it out tonight, bring all the furniture back up and fill up the cooler. I'm sure puppy will enjoy it.

Pool Leagues

The Renter and I got sucked in to playing for the bar pool league last night. As in there weren't any other people who wanted to do it. So after work I worked out, took a shower and got up to the bar before 6:00 for their new half priced apps. The plan was I was going to eat and have two pitchers before the Renter would drive three of us to the bar where the games were supposed to be played. 7:40 - arrival. 7:45 - pitcher of beer in hand. 7:50 - find out they revised the schedule and we were supposed to play at home. The rules give you 15 minutes of leeway and with the 10 minute drive I had about 10 minutes to drink the whole pitcher. Two pitchers in me is nothing, but forcing the third one down in such a fashion is a recipe for disaster. Needless to say I borrowed $20 from a friend and I think I paid him back, I have no clue if I paid my tab, but I ended up winning all four games of pool. Go figure.

I probably should add that the other team were all women. And I had to play the very last game with the team win/loss on my shoulders.

Don't Know

Who's doing the late Monday night game? Sounds like Mike and Mike. Not good if you ask me. Sounds like some AM radio broadcast. Go figure.

4.5

I've got the Packers -4.5 and they go for two with a four point lead with two minutes left? Thank God they made it. Wouldn't have broken the bank but it would have made me a very unhappy camper.

Jerseys Arrived

The jerseys I ordered from champjersey.com arrived yesterday. I ordered the size 50 thinking if I wear a size 50L suit that the jersey would fit. I was greatly mistaken. I promptly sold it to a 150 lb guy at the bar for $40. I looked like Todd Coffey when I put it on. But I was really impressed with the quality. The numbers and names were all stitched on and the fabric was perfect. You really can't beat the price of $37 either. So I went back on their website last night and order the Fielder and Braun jerseys in a size 56 (XXXL). Those China people probably don't see people my size too often.

Shawne Merriman

So what's everyone's opinion? Is it "Way to go man! You fucked Tila Tequila!" or "Dude, you fucked Tila Tequila? Really? Why?" I mean, you'd think he could do better than that, right? Just look at Tom Brady.

Stain

Stained the base of the deck today, can't sit out on it. Kind of sucks, got the chairs and cooler in the front yard ghetto style. Hope the shit doesn't take a week to dry like it did last year.

And whoever has been leaving nasty comments on here you can stop and save your energy. I'm quite happy with my lifestyle and I'm not about to change any time soon.

Response to Comments

I’ve had so many comments, man, it’s just hard to keep up with all three of them in the past two weeks.

Hockey17 commented on how he ordered jerseys from Champjersey.com and liked quality. I appreciate the input. However, he also said he wears a large t-shirt and the size 50 jersey fit him well. I ordered the size 50 jersey. Large t-shirts don’t fit me. There goes $70 down the drain. Kind of dreading their arrival now.

Another one on the dinner date: Whatever happened to the co-worker you took to dinner? Well, after my buddy Pete from the next building over warned me about dating someone I work with I kind of put the cabosh on it (that certainly ain’t spelled right). After that dinner date she became very needy and I don’t put up with that kind of shit. Eventually the emails slowed down and she stopped swinging by my office for fresh air breaks. Done deal.

And as for my last doctor appointment, telling her I only had 3-4 drinks a day, some smarty pants commented: She would have said, “You are an alcoholic and you will destroy your liver in 5-10 years if you continue!” But no newsflash there, right?

I got a kick out of that one. Not because of the comment, but because someone was bored enough at 2:00 on a Saturday morning to be reading my blog. I was happily passed out. Who’s the winner now?

Underwear


When you see my underwear on the bath tub it usually isn't a good sign. Either I 1) peed myself in the middle of the night or 2) I shit myself. I think I went for the two point conversion last night.

Gross but yet kind of fitting on the eve of the college football season.

Watch

'The Renter bought me a watch, a very expensive watch. It arrived today. It had to have weighed a pound. It was big. She showed me the online picture and it looked cool, neither of us knew it would be that big. When she gave it to me I didn't take the wrap off, I think she took that as an obvious sign. I love watches, but she got pissed that I didn't like it. I'm not good at lying, I can't say I like it when I don't. I guess you could say it's the thought that counts but I think that's lame. I love watches, obviously the thought was right on. But I'm not good with shit so now she's mad at me. I need better social skills.

Tall Drink of Water

Odd weekend to say the least. First there was last week when it rained three of the four days I had taken off of work. None of my outdoor work got done. And now today when I woke up there was a thick layer of dew over everything. How is my deck stain ever going to dry now?

It’s been getting cool later in the evening so I’ve been going up to the bar a bit more. Friday the Renter’s friend stopped over. “I thought you guys were going to the bar?” I was finishing up the Brewers game. “Anyone up there?” “Just a couple old guys.” I went up there later and found Mark and James, must have been who she was referring to. Sweet, what better to do than talk sports for a couple hours on a slow Friday? I’ll take the old guys over skank hoes any day.

Saturday I ended up talking to this guy who was getting a pitcher of beer next to me. We started talking about the Brewers and somehow got on to hockey (which I know nothing about). He was telling me about this hockey conference/meeting in Las Vegas that he attended and ended up hanging out with a bunch of hockey players and none other than Mathew McCaunahey. He went back to his table and came back up one other time for more beer. When I went to the restroom he just happened to be in there. I stood next to him, whipped out Mr. Teeney and went about my business. “Boy, you sure are a tall drink of water.” This caught me a little off guard. Isn’t that like something the gays say, or maybe your prison inmates? And then he went on to show me how fucked up his knees are from playing hockey while we were still in the restroom. I think he was still talking when I walked out the door.

And in the delightful news category…

I won $1,000 at the casino on Saturday!

And in the depressing as fuck news category…

I lost $1,000 at the casino on Sunday. Still a zero effect for me but the fact is I had the cash in my grubby little hands! Fuck!

The Renter and I went in together on a cigarette making machine. It’s pretty easy to use, just have to work on adding the proper amounts to get a consistent fill in the cigarette. Good timing, Gov. Doyle’s cig tax increase today means the regular ones will cost $.75 a pack more.

Monday I was sick. I don’t know if it was the new cigarettes but you know that little thing that hangs down in the back of your throat? Well, mine was the size of my pinky. As a real test of how I felt: I didn’t poop on Monday. That’s usually a twice daily event for me. So I stayed home, didn’t shower, and slept with the puppy till about 3:00 pm. I had just given the puppy a bath last week Thursday and now after sleeping next to my stinky ass she smells again. As does my whole room, but that’s par for the course.

Lastly, after not drinking all of Monday I had some fucked up dreams at night. At one point I was driving my car on the freeway while driving another car by remote control. People ended up pissing me off and I passed a couple cars with the remote one to the point where I couldn’t see it – and crashed it. Got pulled over. The officer seemed to be pissed that I hadn’t been drinking and tried to say I had laced my cigarettes with an impairing drug. Like I would even know how to do that! Weird shit. Actually scares me into drinking. And I don't like spiders, either.
