El Cristo Loco

Football Pre-Season Means New Eli!!

Welcome back Eli, seems like you just left a few days ago.  I could swear Eli is looking a bit more fit this season around the waist area.  Of course he was perfectly fine last season as well, but these shots make him seem trimmer.

So this talk radio host basically asked Eli if he thought he was in the same league as Tom Brady.  I know, right?  Rude!  And what was he gonna say?  No?  Good for him for saying that he considers himself in the same class.  When that response unsurprisingly led to much disbelief and chatter throughout the sporting sections of the internet, Eli gave a perfect response:  "I don't know how else I was supposed to answer that question."

Not expecting any televised preseason Giants in my area, but here's hoping I'm mistaken...

Off To A Ripping Start Today!

Seems my brain had a slow start this morning.  One customer called to ask which post office delivers the mail here and I totally had a momentary brain power surge that interrupted normal functioning and I gave her the wrong address.  Only slightly wrong, but wrong none-the-less.  Hope it was nothing important.

Later a customer came in to check his and his mother's mail.  He rarely has his mother's key so I usually have to give him the original key.  Well, I was sure he had been in yesterday to check the mail (and plus I didn't feel like getting up) so I told him that today's mail wasn't in yet so there wouldn't be any new mail there.  He was like, "Oh, I was in yesterday?"  I was like, "Uh huh."  So we had a laugh and he left.  When he left I remembered that he was in TUESDAY, that day that I was so hungover, and that there actually was new mail for his mother.  Um...sorry...

To paraphrase Cher Horowitz, "Ooops, my bad!"

The Champ!!

Looks like dedication and hard work has paid off big time for Danell Leyva!  He won the Visa Championship yesterday to become the new National Champion.  And such a tight race for his first title had to make it that much sweeter.  Up until Jonathan's really heartbreaking fall, it was nothing but tension.  The towel was getting some serious air time!

Here we have Danell being interviewed after the competition, all flush with victory and, dare I say...charming!  Hmmmm, I seem to be rather corny this morning.

C-A-N-D-Y...

Happy birthday, Madonna, plus Great Moments In Eye Makeup.

Interesting New Edit Feature

Picnik has an interesting new starburst kind of thing on their picture editing thing.  I like this.  I want to make a shirt out of it, but it seems kind of flashy...(pictured is that same old photo of me as Jesus)...

Gripe From A Severely Immature 40-Year-Old

So, I sent my folks an email last week informing them that I was having anxiety about my job and life and that I was going to cancel my fall classes.  I got no response.

So, I sent my folks an email this week informing them that I had changed my mind and I was going to attend classes this fall as planned.  I got no response.

I can only infer from their lack of response that it doesn't matter to them either way, or more likely that they are used to my histrionics and decided to ignore this snit.  Either way, I feel like going to my room to pout.

This doesn't have the desired effect when you are in a different time zone than your parents.

Frankie Spotted Something Creepy But Cool...

Sentient Cockroach!! Oh, Yeah!!

So, I'm reading the newspaper today at lunch and saw the best idea for a comic character EVER!!  I can't remember what section I was in, but somebody said something about sentient cockroaches and I was like...WHOA!!  I truly haven't been at all inspired lately, but this has me wanting to give Proverbial Wet Hen a running partner!  Proverbial Wet Hen and Sentient Cockroach?  I don't know, that sounds like something...

PLUS:  I just discovered Click Clack (Make Dat Money) by RuPaul and...pure ambrosia **sighs**...


No karaoke tonight...sounds like a trip to the bar is in order later while I'm all in good spirits.

Serial Killer Alert!!

Spotted:  Cute girl walking in front of our office.  Car pulls up beside her, driver says something to cute girl.  Cute girl giggles and keeps walking.  Driver parks car, gets out, and starts following her!!  Driver did not put money in meter.  Driver stops after a few steps and stands there looking in cute girl's direction as if he's expecting her to turn around and come back.

What was this guy from Alabama or something?  What girl in her right mind would jump in a car with some strange dude yelling at her from a car window?  I know this type of guy.  He looked to be about 50 to 55, wearing the matching shirt and pants set (linen even) and probably uses "look here, baby" liberally throughout his pickup monologue.  My God, I'm even imagining a toothpick hanging casually from his mouth.  Hey, Slick!
