Spotted Dick

No, I don't have a new disease...

Ever walk through a grocery store and see something on the shelf that makes you stop and say "what the fuck?" I had one of those moments Saturday. Here was the cause of it.

Can't say I know anyone that would ever buy something like that. Especially at $4.29 a can!


The weekend was interesting. Friday night Cdubya was having some kind of cooking party so I got the hell outta there and went to a bar and grill near the hockey rink for some dinner before my game. Well, I ate too much of course and had a pint of Guinness of course and went to my game way too full to be effective. We ended up winning 8-5 but I didn't do much of anything.

Saturday morning I went to play basketball with a co-worker. I hadn't touched a ball in 9 years and it showed. I think I made 3 baskets in 90 minutes. I ended up not shooting too much because air balls are humiliating. My D and rebounding weren't bad so I focused on that.

Unfortunately, I forgot about my bad ankle and I'm paying for it now. All that pounding took it's toll and I've been hobbling around since. Add some back and shoulder pain and I spent all day yesterday lying on the couch watching football.

Speaking of football, how about those Packers? 11-2 and looking like a legit contender. Of course, no one is going to beat Brady and the Pats but I'm looking forward to a rematch with the Cowboys at least.



On a different subject, I may have an interview with a new Web startup company in Milwaukee some time this week. They're looking for a consultant to come in and do some Java work. It's supposed to be some sort of Facebook or MySpace type of company but with a humorous twist. Not sure what it's all about. I'll update when I find out more. Could be fun and it couldn't be worse than where I'm at now. Oh, and I would only have to go to Milwaukee twice a week, working from home the rest of the time.
