A chartreuse kangaroo? Who ever heard of such a thing!?
August 27th, 2008 GregDDCI found it, I finally found it. Woo ha, got you all in check.
The base drunk
August 13th, 2008 GregDDCBase Drunk (bās drəŋk), n., pl.-drunks. a drunk applied before the main drinking of the day. Typically applied in the mid-afternoon, it allows for an easier to attain and more sustainable drunk later in the day. Can also be used to save money at expensive bars.
A few years ago my friend Derek and I were looking to go out drinking. We knew that the main event was happening much later in the day but our thirst was insatiable. So we parked in front of the TV and began our adventure. A football game or two later and we were pretty messed up. It was still the middle of the day and we only had plans for that evening. It was at this point that we ran out of drinks. Instead of going out to get more we simply let the drunk play itself out. Eventually we reached a level of sobriety that was a very close cousin of dead-sober.
Later on in the night we went to a party. We found that our drunk (which had been all but extinguished by time and food) easily reappeared. It was a miracle. We were able to enjoy the drunken level we had attained earlier in the day without any of the work. Thus the “base drunk” was born. I don’t remember who coined the phrase, Derek or myself, but I do know that it is both apt and apropos. And that, my good friends, is the story of the “base drunk”. Use this knowledge wisely.
My face has been thoroughly rocked.
August 4th, 2008 GregDDCI thought it would be a bit cooler here in Norman now that I’m back from the sweltering death that is Houston. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoyed myself; it’s just more that a little hot there. We posted up at a number of places. My favorite was the Houston Dynamo game. We did a bit of tailgating before and after the game. There was beer, burgers and hot dogs. It was pretty fun. We went into the game and it was a blowout. The Columbus Crew didn’t have a prayer against the mighty Dynamo. I’m pretty sure my beloved Reds would stomp them into the ground though.
That wasn’t the only event on our itinerary though. Before the game we went to the St. Arnold Brewery for a brewery tour. There were several hundred people there and we were all thirsty for sweet refreshing beer. It was a mild 105+ degrees in the brewery and public sweatiness was the norm. We didn’t come as prepared as some of the veterans of the brewery tour though. Those bitches has sandwiches!
Continuing with my time-reversed portrayal of my Houston trip we ended the night before the Dynamo game by going to a super-awesome Ume concert. The first thing that you should know about Ume is that they do not fuck around. They are quite the sight to see. It will rock your sensibilities to the core seeing the smallest and cutest girl in the world smashing your brain with pure liquid rock. She has killer legs too. Whee!

We visited the Houston Aquarium. It was both awesome and air conditioned, a double plus. There were lots of critters there. We made friends with a sting ray we named Vernon. I’m pretty sure he wanted to drink my blood. Tara promised me that he was just trying to jump on me so I could take him home, not to drink my blood. There are two white tigers at the aquarium “because tigers like to play in the water”. They were very pretty and VERY big. There is also a tunnel-shaped aquarium that is filled with sharks. It was a pretty sweet facility.
During the hottest and most impressively disgusting day I have had the honor of experiencing in a very long time we went to Space Center Houston. Shit, it was hot outside. We went because of the (seemingly) awesome Star Wars exhibit. The video makes it seem FUCKING AWESOME. It is, in fact, not FUCKING AWESOME. Not even close. Not even one bit. This video shows every single bit of the exhibit. Now you don’t have to go, lucky you.
We did take the tour of the Space Center. It was ok, but with the heat it was probably not the best idea. We had to wait in line for quite a while in the blazing heat. It was lovely, look at the pictures. You can tell how much fun Lulu and Tay Tay are having. The Saturn V rocket exhibit is crazy awesome. You open the door and BAM! that thing is all in your face. It’s an experience. Lulu also had some astronaut ice cream, it made my mouth taste like sludge.
Finally we spent the first night eating and drinking. We posted up at the pool and set to drinking. Fun was had.
Thanks again for letting us post up with you Tara. We’ll have to do it again sometime.
**UPDATE** Tara has made a post about this trip as well. Be sure to “post-up” over there and check it out.
2008 Sooner Predictions
July 29th, 2008 GregDDCI have added my predictions for the 2008 Sooner football season. Feel free to comment about it on its page. This is in response to Josh’s predictions.
I took it a bit further including the score for the Big XII Championship against Colorado and the National Championship against Clemson (you can’t avoid us, you bastards!). I also kept the Kansas game closer and the Kansas State game is total domination (instead of his 31-29 nail biter). We both agree on the Texas A&M game as well. I hope to see more of your predictions so we can compare. Get ready folks, this is going to be one hell of a year.

Religious tracts - Cthulhu R’lyeh wgah’nagl fhtagn
July 25th, 2008 GregDDC
I love religious tracts. They’re one of my favorite things in the world. You might know them as those short and wide pamphlets the crazies are always handing out. You know the ones! They might tell you that you’re going to hell and will get AIDS for having pre-martial sex. Maybe they’ll tell you that all homosexuals have AIDS and are going to commit blood-terrorism! Perhaps you were wondering “Who murdered Clarice?!” Liberals are turning good Christians into social pariahs for not loving teh homogays!
Don’t think that Catholics get out of the sight of the wise and knowing eye of these tracts. Did you know that Mary cries whenever someone prays to her or that Catholics aren’t even christians? It would seem that the Eucharist is a Death Cookie! Even COMPLETE LOSERS LIKE JIMMY can be redeemed. Also, don’t put your faith in Presidente Carlos for in doing so you turn your heart from the lord.
The Holocaust was a Roman Catholic Inquisition against the Jews. No true Christians would kill anyone in the name of Jesus. God commands us to love the Jewish people.
Needless to say, these people are insane. But they don’t know what real horror is! I present to you the best religious tract of all time, The Cthulhu Tract. This is singlehandedly the greatest piece of literature on religion ever created. That’s not conjecture, it’s fact. Give the whole thing a read. If you do not you will not be aware of your hopeless existence of unendingly painful insanity in the face of the cosmic truths of the universe which your puny intellect can’t possibly fathom!
No merciful, paternalistic “god” looks down on you from the heavens - just an endless, frozen void that cares nothing about the fate of a collection of insignificant bipedal microbes at the hands of vastly more powerful beings whose motives their puny minds cannot even comprehend!

I’m irresponsible with money!
July 24th, 2008 GregDDCDoug sent me a messed up video about honey, give it a watch.
Isn’t that the most messed up thing you have seen in a while? I think watching cakefarts or even puddingfarts(both are not even CLOSE to SFW) is better than that. What does it feel like to be the girl who only sings backup? Did she cry herself to sleep when she didn’t get the lead role in the commerical? So I, of course, bought some Maharishi Vedic Organic Honey for Doug because I am irresponsible with money. It’s on the way buddy. Save some for me!
From the item description:
This zesty yet sweet taste will satisfy the most discriminating palette. Produced from August to October, with influences from Simha Rashi (Leo) and Kanya Rashi (Virgo). Has a nourishing effect on the:
• optic nerve and the sense of sight
• sense of taste, facial nerve and facial expressions“Captures the lemony freshness of early fall.”
“Like a bouquet of flowers.”
Where the hell is Matt?
July 23rd, 2008 GregDDC
This is wonderful. A guy named Matt Harding has been traveling the world. When he arrives at a place he then dances with the people there, usually in front of iconic landmarks. It’s hard not to feel a little closer to everyone else in the world while watching this video. Everyone can’t dance, just like me (except those Indian Sari dancers, they know what they’re doing). I am more than a little jealous of his adventures. He even got sponsored by Stride Gum! Free travel! Maybe if I ever get to travel again I will think of something equally as clever to do.
Kittie
July 21st, 2008 GregDDC
I couldn’t tell you why I wanted to listen to Kittie this morning. It’s not a very “morning friendly” music. It was Paul and a punky stripper/tattoo artist that got me listening to Kittie. It’s good stuff. Really good stuff. Give it a watch and a listen. This is proof that girls who rock are better than girls who do not rock. It’s simple math.
Busted Wonder
July 14th, 2008 GregDDC
It’s been a while since I have been unable to decide if I liked something or truly loved it. I’m on the fence. I hope to hear what you all think about Busted Wonder. There are several other projects on this page that are really worth your attention. My favorite of the others is “Something’s Wrong” followed by “Exterminus“. All of it is hard to explain so you’ll just have to eyeball it for yourself.
