Not that's there's anything wrong with it....

FFF and There's a Bat in the Cave

Has anyone every heard the expression:
There's a Bat in the Cave
If you have, what does it mean, if not, what do you think it means?

Here's a picture for Full Frontal Friday. This is not in the best taste so if you're not into scars and stuff, don't peek. (that is porbably the worst thing to say because everyone is curious now)

Apparently it Causes Bad Hair Daze

Pot not a major cancer risk:
NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Although both marijuana and tobacco smoke are packed with cancer-causing chemicals, other qualities of marijuana seem to keep it from promoting lung cancer, according to a new report.

The difference rests in the often opposing actions of the nicotine in tobacco and the active ingredient, THC, in marijuana, says Dr. Robert Melamede of the University of Colorado in Colorado Springs.

He reviewed the scientific evidence supporting this contention in a recent issue of Harm Reduction Journal.

Whereas nicotine has several effects that promote lung and other types of cancer, THC acts in ways that counter the cancer-causing chemicals in marijuana smoke, Melamede explained in an interview with Reuters Health.

10.24.05 Bowling

So we went bowling yesterday. It's not something we do very often, but the past year or so we have gone a few times. I was always intimidated by the scoring aspect of the game. I really never quite learned how to keep score, but with today's technology, even a moron like me can play. Everything is done by the computer, so as long as you have an 11 year old with you, you can have him program it for you. I won't give you a frame by frame rundown, but I did wind up kicking everyone's ass with a 143. Griffin, our 5 yr old came in second with a solid 104. Dana broke 80 and kept moving into the other people's lane after she threw the ball. She was applying 'English' to the ball with her body language. There is a link on the left side named Dana Bowling and one called Grif Bowling that has some video. Enjoy....

Great Job Dylan!

10.22.05 - Seinfeld

There have been a lot of quizzes going around lately and they are pretty interesting and fun. There is one for "Which Seinfeld Character Are You?" which I took and I am Jerry. Yet, I can relate to all of the characters and I do watch too much of it so I see everything in my life as a Seinfeld reference. Take Thursday night as an example. I was taking the crosstown bus around what was apparently rush-hour, and the bus was packed like a can of sardines. It was also not moving. I saw cars on either side of me moving. All I could think of was the episode where Elaine was on the subway, going to a lesbian wedding where she was the 'Best Man' (a woman raised her eyebrows when Elaine told her that she was going to that wedding, Elaine repiled 'I'm not a lesbian, but I hate men') and the subway was stopped. She was having these out loud thoughts about how claustrophobic she was getting and thinking WHY WON'T THIS THING MOVE!!! I'M GOING TO DIE IN HERE. I could relate to her plight.
And just last night, Dana's sister wanted to have her son, who is 10 and already is entering puberty-scary, stay over for two nights this weekend. He's not a bad kid (not real bad) but he is a rather pain in the ass and he doesn't really get a long with our older son. In fact, Dylan hates him because the cousin, being twice Dylans' size, always picked on him and bite him once among other things. So Dana told her sister we were doing something. She didn't say what and really didn't have a story ready incase we are asked just what we were doing. Enter the 'Pinch Weasle' - George. I, with my Costanza qualities, just came up with 'we were going to go to MY sister's, but I didn't feel well. It came too easily to me, it's frightening. I have too many George quailities at times I think...check out the URL of this Blog

10.21.05 - Looking for Mr GoodBurger

I ate in this Café last night. They have great food and beer (I can't drink now though)
This was the Café from the movie "Looking for Mr Goodbar"

All State Café
250 W. 72nd St. (Upper West Side)
between Broadway and West End Ave.

Trivia: The events depicted in both the book and the movie were inspired by the events surrounding the brutal real-life 1973 murder of twenty-seven year old New York City schoolteacher Roseanne Quinn.

Plot: Theresa is a successful teacher of deaf children during the day but after a short unhappy affair starts to spend her nights cruising bars. Her craving first for sex but later also for drugs leads into increasingly demeaning and dangerous situations completely at odds with her daytime commitment to her children.
