bringing sexy back

"What is the #1 most craved food by women?" Click My mom told me not to get tied down with a girl that doesn't have a job, for the answer. As for those of you who did not like the repeat question, it was just a test to see if you're really learning anything. I'm pleased to see that people do listen and learn from my blog. I'm pretty much like an online professor of useless information. I should start charging for this stuff.

Disappointed in the number of people who have never eaten, heard of, or seen grits. I would quote Father Rob's description but it's too formal for me. They're just grits, not pig fat, not a chew substance, and not red. Free grits on me tomorrow night.

Calling a technical support for anything puts me in a bad mood. Lately I've been calling to set up a router that I bought brand new and already needs upgrades. Blows my mind. Why put something on the shelf if it is not ready? So I call and talk to some idiot that barely knows any English and can't seem to understand anything I'm saying. "Sorry sir, I no understand." Is it my sexy southern accent? "Sir, can you say problem is?" I give up.

The people at work say Cozumel (koh-zuh-mel, the Texas way) funny. Apparently my sexy southern accent says it wrong. kaw-soo-mel, that's all I know.

I miss My Future Wife, she's in Mississippi. Thanks for calling this afternoon honey. I'll buy her a plane ticket to come see. Hopefully she'll use it.

Tomorrow night is the Mississippi State vs. LSU kick off! I rang my cowbell for good measure last night at 11:08. Not a specific time for anything, just the time I thought about it. Maroon, White. Maybe I can get some of the med students to quit studying and come join us for some burgers, chips, drinks, and football. Otherwise it'll be me, Burd, and Burd's dad. What a crew. Maybe I'll see coffee girl tomorrow, she would probably be flattered if I asked her to come.

Wonder if NASA will like the man beard? Thinking of bringing it back. Just so much easier not to shave.

Michael Scott: Can I ask you all a question? Do you know what it’s like to be disabled?
Phyllis: I had scoliosis as a girl…
Michael Scott: Never heard of it. No, a real disability, not a woman's trouble.
Creed: When I was a teenager, I was in an iron-lung.
Michael Scott: Wha? How- how old are you? The point is: I am the only one here who has a legitimate disability. Although I am sure Stanley has had his fair share of obstacles.
Stanley: I'm not disabled and neither are you.
-The Office
I have to give so much credit to The Office. It's the reason I have this job. No lie.

Wow, that was a long post.

Anybody ever heard of Cartel? Didn't think so. Last night I was fortunate enough to be present at their concert here in Houston. They didn't suck. Except for the end where they almost closed with a not so great cover of "Wonderwall." Note to Cartel, don't cover Oasis anymore.

Where is anne onymous?

Whenever I hear a phone ring while sitting at my desk I yell out, "Hello!?" with my Mississippi accent. Helps to break the silence. Hope some one's phone rings in Mission Control.

I made another friend. Congrats go to me. She is the neighbor from across the hall. Can't impress her too much with the mission control, rocket science, or NASA. She is an aerospace engineer herself. I'm impressed. Cool girl with a funny accent.

I think there are a few 1st graders that read this blog. Or just some people who's parents didn't tell them that glue wasn't meant to be eaten.

Neighbor girl from Ohio was introduced to Southernism. Is that a real word? Well it is now. I'll put it on Wikipedia. Last night was Breakfast Supper night!!! The eggs were right, the bacon was crisp, the grits were fine. For those northerners out there, grits are a popular breakfast food in the southern household. Eat 'em, they'll put hair on your chest. I also made my Mamaw's homemade catheads (which are simply buttermilk biscuits for those of you on the other side of the Mississippi state line). They were the best Texas has ever tasted.

I can hardly sit still any longer in anticipation for Thursday night. The college football season kicks off with my alma mater, The Mississippi State Bulldogs. Too bad we play LSU, they've got this mentality that they're going all the way this year. I don't know who told them that. ESPN, Thursday night, 7 pm central. I'll have my cowbell out, ringing it. Hope the neighbors won't mind.

I kept misspelling Thursday in this post. I'm such an idiot. Thusday.
