Hey Freak!

OK, so I missed Marquee Monday yesterday... it's not my fault. Holiday weekends always throw me off. Last night, I was looking all over for 60 Minutes. Lemme tell you, man, there's nothing on Monday nights.

But hey, here's something for you in case you actually miss Marquee Monday:

Look! A dinosaur book!

Some other things from this weekend...

Well, I shaved my head again. Joelle took some pictures; I just have to get off my ass and put them up.

The bear. OK, growing up, mom always kept the syrup in a bear. (I don't think she liked honey, because it wasn't a honey bear). So, consequently, I'm used to having syrup in the little plastic bear. Is this weird? Did anyone else have a syrup bear instead of a honey bear?

I spent a lot of the weekend playing "Star Wars: Battlefront" online. If you're ever on there, and you see a game titled "It's a Walk Off," that's me. My player name is Derek Zoolander. So if you're bored, feel free to join in.

Is that it? Yeah, I think so. Shit. I've got meetings all day, which means... what folks? That's right. I'm not gonna get anything done today. Happy Tuesday!

Dude. Remind me not to touch anyone. Ever.

I don't wanna be like this guy:

Fitzroy Barnaby said he had to swerve to avoid hitting the 14-year-old Des Plaines girl who walked in front of his car.

She said he yelled, "Come here, little girl," before getting out of his car and grabbing her by the arm.

He said he simply lectured her.

She said she broke free and ran, fearful of what he'd do next.

In a Thursday ruling, the Appellate Court of Illinois said the 28-year-old Evanston man must register as a sex offender.

...

Though Barnaby was acquitted of attempted kidnapping and child abduction charges stemming from the November 2002 incident, he was convicted of unlawful restraint of a minor -- which is a sex offense. [full story]

I'm all for protecting kids, but please. This is going way too far. I mean, the guy almost woulda been better off if he had hit the kid. I'd rather live with the "ignorant driver" stigma than the "sexual offender" stigma, definitely. Bad drivers don't have to register with the state. There's no database for bad drivers.

"Recognizing the stigma that comes with being labeled as a sex offender, the appellate court said 'it is [Barnaby's] actions which have caused him to be stigmatized, not the courts.'" Bullshit, you asshole. The courts (incorrectly) interpreted his actions as "sexual." I don't think that, say, a "jury of his peers" would have convicted him as such. Would you?

Like Michele said, it's stuff like this that makes the sex offender database useless.

OK. So am I the only one who's totally excited to see the movie "March of the Penguins"? In a big theater?

Gah! It's not playing anywhere near here! Damned "in selected theaters" bullshit.

Wow, this is really the 19th week of Match Game? Time flies.

For anyone new here, this is how it works. There are five fill-in-the-blank questions, plus one bonus match for you to answer. The object is to match the answers of the panel. Easy, right? First, let's meet the panel:

Trïpps
Michele
Maine
Darren
Sporty
Bren

And now, the questions. Remember, it's all about matching answers. Or, being funny.

1. Every morning, I get coffee from Starbucks. And every morning, the girl at the counter over-charges me... so I nicknamed her _______.


2. Frank knew his Psychiatry class would be difficult when he found out that ____ was teaching it.


3. I've never met somebody who loves gardening as much as Bob does. He's always bragging about how he sleeps with his _____.


4. Doug recently found out that his doctor used to be a porn star. It wasn't a big surprise, though, because the only advice he ever gave was "Take two _____ and call me in the morning."


5. Well, the next season of Survivor should be exciting, for a change. Instead of on a tropical island, it's being held at _____.

Bonus: pussy ____

So, there you go. Leave your answers in the comments (don't look at anyone else's - and I'll know if you do!), and I'll post the panel's answers later on in the day below.

Ah, it's time for your weekly dose of really crappy music that I like anyways. Hey, I'm just trying to make it more fun and interesting for people who do the "random music" meme.

Let's see. What do we have here...

Boom! I've got your boyfriend. How's that? That's pretty bad, isn't it? And then there's Makin' It, a song by the guy who starred in An American Werewolf in London. Sadly, he didn't "make" it. Well, big, anyway.

There's more. There's Better Days. If you're pissed off at people, just take out the names on the Fraternity Record and substitute the names of the people you're mad at. But if you're happy, then you can sing along to Happy Boys & Girls.

Scary, huh.
