"Crikey!"

That’s right people!!! The Aussie’s have debunked one of the main arguments for those that believe aliens have visited us has now been debunked. Can you believe it!!

After years of speculation of visitors from other worlds creating crop circles in fields, scientists and lawmakers in Australia have finally figured out what is really the cause of the whole thing. Are you ready….It may be a little shocking.

Stoned wallabies!!!

That’s right. They believe that wallabies are eating the heads of the opium plants and then are hopping in circles. They also claim that other animals that ate the poppies would act “weird.”

What The Heck!!!

Are serious people!!! This is a plant used to make morphine, and most of the narcotics on the market today. Not to mention cocaine and heroin. Of course if something eats it, it’s going to act weird. It’s my understanding that even when people are under the influence of it the act “weird.”

Now I’m not saying I believe aliens have or not visited, but I think if we are the only sentient species in the universe it would be a great waste of space. What I am saying is that I find it hard to believe a stoned cow in England (since they don’t have wallabies) could make the famous pi crop circle seen here. Now our stoned cows are also mathematical geniuses too? I doubt it.

While eating poppies may explain a few odd things going on, it doesn’t even begin to touch the surface.

Horn Tootin'

That’s right!!! I’m a guy, and when I’m right I like to brag a little. Last Feb. at the end of the football season I predicted that the ridiculously good looking Brett Favre was most likely going to be back again. If you don’t believe me you can read it here.

Since then there has been a lot of stuff going on in the media. Tons of speculation, but nothing really concrete. I didn’t want to comment until there was something a little more certain.

Well now things have changed. Brett gave and interview on Monday night and this is what I took away from it:

Almost 3 weeks ago now Brett had sugary on his arm. That’s right. THE main reason he gave for retiring has now been repaired.

The Vikings have sent a trainer and a coach down to Alabama to work with and evaluate Brett’s arm.

Now on top of all that…I'm currently under the impression that as long as his arm isn’t hurting, and he can throw…he’s going to play next year.

Come on people this is Brett Favre we’re talking about here.... HE’S PLAYING NEXT YEAR!!!!

Here is the best article I found that sums it all up.

I Know Why the Arches Are Golden!

I have a confession to make. This is hard for me, so I’m just going to come right out and say it.

I’m a dipper.

Wow!!! I feel so much better. That’s right people I love to dip my fries. I’m not even close to being conservative when it comes to dipping them either. I’m talking at least one third to half of each fry needs to be submerged. It makes them tasty. Some of you may see this as a little childish and immature. My response (of course) is “No, you are!”

But there is more. I’m not a traditional dipper either. That’s right; I don’t just like catsup with my fries. I’m an American and I enjoy having the freedom to choose what kind of dipping sauce or sauces I want. It changes too. It depends on the place. Some make sauces better than others. Sometimes it depends on my mood. My tastes have also changed as I’ve grown older. A prime example of this is at McDonalds my sauce of choice was BBQ when I was younger, in middle school it shifted to sweet and sour, and now I’m a big fan of their hot mustard.

My point is…I like to hit the sauce. The Little Mama does as well. What can I say, we’re two of a kind.

Now I suppose I should get around to the reason for my confession. On the way home the other night, we decided to stop at America's fast food burger joint (McDonald's) and get our usual quarter pounder's with cheese (of course), fries and that sweet nectar known as coke. After we received our meal at the window, as in typical fashion, I asked for our sauces of choice. This is the shocking part. She said they were only allowed to give catsup with fries and the other plethora of sauces could only be distributed if we had ordered nuggets. Nuggets!!! Not only was McDonalds refusing to give me my delicious Hot Mustard, but they were now mandating what sauce I could have with my fries.

What The Heck!?!? America's Fast Food my butt! That sounds more like communism!

Needless to say I was appalled.

She then informed me that for 11 cents she could sell me a single Hot Mustard packet. I don't think I even heard it. I was in so much shock. I've been a dipper my entire life. I know many other dippers. I've never heard of anyone being charged for sauce as long as they were a paying customer.

Little Mama however was quick on her feet and pulled out some change and paid for our sauce. I still think it's weird. She didn't ring it up. I should have gotten a receipt for my sauce. What if one of them was damaged and I was unhappy with it. Since I paid for it...

Is this a sign of the times? Could McDonald's really be hurting that bad? What's next, are they going to start charging us per pickle?

Oh Daily Show...Why Do I Love You?

I love this country.

For many different reasons, one being the system of check and balances. Insuring that no one branch of government gets to big for its britches. There are a few loopholes in this system of course. It hard to make something perfect, but that’s also the beauty of our system. We can change it! Well our elected officials can change it…but that’s neither here nor there.

Another thing I love about our country is freedom of the press. If you just study China, Cuba or North Korea for a bit you can see how important this is. Our government isn’t controlling the press at all. There is no propaganda. If a Senator or Congressman or who ever does something wrong…the press is right there letting everyone know about it. Heck they followed the death of Anna Nicole Smith for 2 day straight. Yet in North Korea I bet most of their population still believes that last month they put a satellite in space. They have no idea their missile splashed down in the pacific. It’s kind of crazy. The Press here can almost say and do anything they want!

So now where are their checks and balances? Who is there to say…What The Heck!!!

Enter Jon Stewart.

In this clip here you can see a prime example of what I'm talking about. Check it out. (I also recently figured out how to put video's on here so I'm going to play with it a bit.)

Serously, no one else noticed that? If they did, I didn't hear it anywhere. That's just crazy talk in my opinion.

They don't just pick on Fox News either. They run the whole gambit. For almost an entire week back in march, there was pretty much a fight going on between The Daily show and MSNBC. More specifically Jim Cramer. I’ll save you the trouble of looking for them all and put the highlights here…..

Is It Weird To....

Now I’d like to think I’m a little bit more mature than a lot of people my age. My wife I’m sure would argue with anyone on that, but I’d like to think when it comes to life experiences…I’m a bit above the curve. To put it another way, I’ve been told I have “an old soul.”

I am after all 27 years old. I’ve seen a lot more of the world as well as the US than many people my age. I’ve served and fought for this great country. I’m a loving husband, and a proud father of two beautiful kids. Not to sound like a broken record, but all things that most people my age haven’t experienced, or have no desire to experience.

So now is it weird that I love Kool-Aid?



We got some for free at the store the other day. It was one of those buy this and get cool thing of Kool-Aid for free in store coupon thing. I thought what the heck! Jake may like it. I remember I liked it when I was little.

Now the stuff is like crack. I can’t get enough of it. If I could have and IV of Fruit Punch….wow….that would be cool!! I’d have a sugar buzz like you wouldn’t believe. I might even be able to keep up with Jake all day!

Then again I might be in a diabetic coma before my next birthday.

So here’s my What The Heck!?!?! For today.

Since when did growing up mean that we had to stop enjoying the things we did when we were young?

I can think of a lot of reasons. As we got older we wanted to look “cool” for our friends. Priorities shifted. Plans evolved. ECT…ECT….ECT….

I challenge everyone who reads this (both of you) to step back for a moment and enjoy life as a kid again. Even If it’s just a nice tall ice cold glass of Kool –aid.
