I saw the lead singer of this band in the cold medicine isle of an Albertsons grocery store in Seattle back in the mid 90's. He's dead now...Rumor has it that Vince Young scored a 6 out of 50 on the Wonderlic test given to potential draft picks. If it's true (and it has been refuted by Vince's camp) that would make him one of the dumbest people on the planet. The Wonderlic is about as easy to pass as nap time in kindergarten. Here's an example test of 15 questions. If you don't get at least 14 right please go read some other blog.
Spent 2 1/2 hours on my taxes Friday. I'm not sure I did everything right but Turbo Tax asked all the right questions and I had my expense report from Quicken so I think I got it right. Not sure doing this independent thing is worth it though. I made more but paid almost all of the extra in taxes...
Saturday was bowling. Being in dead last place with just a few weeks left makes it hard to get motivated and it showed. I shot 540 something, don't even remember what. I cracked my first Guinness at 3:30.
Prior to that I spent $870 at Menards on ceiling tiles and the grid to put them up along with some beadboard for the basement. Sunday I grab the paper and see that they're all on sale... guess I'll be going back today for a refund.
Sunday we went to my nephew's baptism up in Merrimac where my grandparents went to church when they were still with us. Somehow it ended up being an entire service with communion. A little uncomfortable for most of us since we rarely go to church...
Last night was hockey. We won again to improve to 9-4-1. Of course, 6 of those 9 wins have come against 2 teams. It was a close one last night. They had the top goalie in the league and we were struggling to get anything past him. We were down 3-2 entering the 3rd. We got one to tie it up and it stayed that way till they took a tripping penalty with about 2 minutes left. With the face off in their end the center drew it back to the left point. He passed across to me and I passed it to the winger on the back door who rifled home the winning goal. That helped me forget the 3 mistakes I had made earlier that helped the other team get 3 goals. I did make a save at one point by batting the puck out of the air with the shaft of my stick as it was headed over our fallen goalie.
I need some more coffee, later.

I remember you telling the next day at work you saw him.
I took the Wonderlic test before when I applied for a electrician job anlong with another test that was putting 2 washers on pegs or nails. How many nails you could put washers on in 30 seconds. I remember thinking they must be checking to see if we were retarded or not. Oh and they let us use scratch paper on the Wonderlic test. Looks to me that Vince Young is retarted.
I'd have to agree with that...
You have a great memory for an old guy! I'm assuming you remember who it was and the band name...
Yes, I know the band and guys name. He died in his apartment in the U-district and they didn't find his body for 3 to 5 days. They figured he died the same day (April 5) as the other famous lead singer of a Seattle band.
Hey - the last 4 weeks of bowling I'm averaging 224 the 3rd game.
Did the Guiness trick again - DJ likes Guiness and Josh and Jenny like the thing inside the bottle.
got that ceiling up yet?
I figured it was AIC.
Yep, Alice In Chains it is. Poor Layne Staley. He looked like a homeless drug addict looking for some OTC medication to steal. We had to walk by him a couple times to make sure it was really him.
BTW Grinder, Guinness has 2 n's.
Yeah, he did. But with Wonderlic results like that you'd think he played basketball at Duke...ooooh, um sorry. That just kind of came out on its own. If he starts writing crappy poetry as well, we'll know for sure though. Sorry again. Can't help it.
Bwaahhahahaha, that was low Derek.
But I like it.
I'm sure JJ would score at least an 8 on that test. Maybe they have a question about rhyming ("which of these words doesn't rhyme with the others?")
Hey, shit happens. I mean look at last year. Losing to Suckspeare and Dook the first game, only to win the second AND the National Championship. And what was Redick-ulous doing at the end of March? Probably writing bad and overly dramatic poetry....
Just saying.
But I'm not talking trash.
Winner winner chicken dinner! Ahem, I mean, thank you.
Look, they're few and far between ok? I got a little excited...
