Origins of Thanksgiving

I took this section out of today's Mikey's Funnies, a daily humor email you can get at www.MikeysFunnies.com. It starts off with a brief thanksgiving is not just about blah blah blah then comes the reader's questions:

Q. Gosh, you're right, I, the average reader, am dumb as a post. What exactly are the origins of Thanksgiving?

A. Thanksgiving is, of course, a holiday invented by grocers and farmers to allow them to sell huge quantities of disgusting "traditional" foods that no one in his right mind would eat otherwise, such as squash. The average squash is a triumph of minimalism wherein Nature manages to convert mud into a plant without bothering to change its taste and texture. Attempts to improve the mud-like flavor of squash by the addition of delicate seasonings and spices have produced dishes that taste, at best, like delicately seasoned and spiced mud. A master chef, faced with the necessity of making a palatable squash dish, would throw in his funny hat and become a short-order cook at Denny's.

Q. That's quite a conspiracy theory. Where do the Black Helicopters fit it?

A. They transport the squash.

Real Music Goodness

So, I no longer listen to the station I posted here earlier. It's not the station, its me. I just don't like the station any more. (Man I love that joke)

Seriously, it has nothing to do with the station, I just found a way to play to my somewhat strange tastes. LAUNCHcast Radio. You can access my station here (http://launch.yahoo.com/launchcast/station.asp?u=1238502748), I hope. There are some annoying ads, but I think I have it pretty well trained now to only play good music.

This has been a good experinece for me too as I have realized how few bands I actually like. BTW Lanchcast (yes, their half caps thing is stupid and I will not do it again) is a joint effort with yahoo, so you can create your own station. And hey, it might be almost as good as mine. might. almost.

Oh, almost forgot. Let me know if any artist every plays for you that is not christian and I will make sure to go block that artist from playing again. I think I have them all blocked, so this should not be a problem.

The Incrdibles

Yes, last night I saw The Incredibles, and since I see a movie just about every year, I feel like I am enough of an expert to share my thoughts.

I liked this movie.

Really, what else do you want me to say? I could talk about the plot, but that ruins the movie for you. I could talk about what I found funny, but again, that would spoil the movie as well as possibly point out how weird my sense of humor is. So I will stick with my first comment.

Oh also, just so everyone knows: "I am the Underminer! I am beneath you all, but no one is beneath me!"

McGahee McVPhee

Willis has started three games for the Buffalo Bills:

vs MIA 111 Yds 26 Car 0 TD
vs ARI 102 Yds 30 Car 2 TD
vs NYJ 131 Yds 36 Car 1 TD

So he is averaging 115 Yds on 30 Carries and one touchdown a game for each of his starts, not bad for someone who was "drafted too high" and a "risky" player. Now if we can only find a nice trade to give mister Henry too, we might have a good team.

By the way, Those three games were all wins, the only three wins of the season for Buffalo.

GO BILLS!!!!!

Election 2004 - I wish I had a good subtitle

Actually, I think that has a good ring, Election 2004 I wish I had a good subtitle. If I had thought of it earlier I would have presented it to a news organization.

Now that I have run off anyone who doesn’t personally know me and feel obligated to read what I write, let the commentary commence. The rest of this post will be written in John Edwards mode (*THUMBS UP*)

I believe the democrats will never again be able to get a New England democrat elected. (*THUMBS UP*) Also, this shouldn't be as surprising as it sounds; if you look back there hasn't been a New England democrat in the white house during my life time. (*THUMBS UP*) For the democrats to win, (*THUMBS UP*) they will have to look to moderate southern democrats. (*THUMBS UP*)(*THUMBS UP*) Clinton and Carter both fit this mold. (*THUMBS UP*) Also, it's about time we as a nation look at morals while making decisions. (*THUMBS UP*)(I really mean that one) I remember trying to do youth ministry during the Clinton years, how do you tell teenagers that they should remain sexually pure and tell the truth when your president doesn’t? (*THUMBS UP*)

I also wish to pass along that my respect for Kerry has risen. (*THUMBS UP*) My main concern before the election was that if Bush lost he would take our nation through the process of 2000, of course I figured it was a given that Kerry would. (*THUMBS UP*) However Kerry waited until the election was over and then gave a concession speech, it was an amazing thing. (*THUMBS UP*) So Thumbs up to you Senator Kerry, I still wouldn't vote for you, (*THUMBS UP*) but I don't believe your the worst person on the face of the earth, (*THUMBS UP*) that is still a tie between Edwards and Hillary. (*THUMBS UP*)(*THUMBS UP*)(*THUMBS UP*)
