Quote of the week

Filed under: Camping — Jason @ 2:52 pm

Overheard this weekend while lying in our tent at 6:15AM:

Jason: “What are you doing with your eyes open at this time of the morning?”

Shauna: “…just trying to listen to everything, baby.”

No kidding.

Check it out

Looking through my CD collection last weekend I found two CDs from a band named Stone Bogart. Here’s their own bio:

“Stone Bogart was a sexy and talented band from Wisconsin then they moved to Arizona then they moved to Hollywood. We released some CD’s and played more shows than most bands will ever play over an 8 year period. Then some people quit. Now we are done existing as a band. But we live on here…as your friend! :::ALERT::: We are currently available for reunion shows. For the small price of $100,000 we will play a 13 minute set at your house for you…but none of your friends.”

Great band; great sense of humor.

I was looking into what they are doing now and found their bassist, Travis Randall, is busy with a new band. Check out Black Rattle. They are America’s premier heavy metal children’s band. This clip is from the end of Greg Behrendt’s stand-up DVD. Greg fronts the band, and Robbie Rist, who played Cousin Oliver on the Brady Bunch, is the drummer.

Stone Bogart’s lead singer, Sean Anders, wrote, directed and stars in Never Been Thawed. I wouldn’t do it justice if I described it as a movie about collectors of frozen dinners, who also happen to be a vulgar Christian rock band.

If you have time, check them out. If it’s not for you, I didn’t tell you to see it.

Competitive nature

Filed under: Miscellaneous — Jason @ 1:25 pm

Shauna and I are both extremely competitive when it comes to, well, everything. How else can you explain why two people keep track of who wins more games of cribbage, darts and foosball? We even used to keep track shooting pool, but quit after a 13-game marathon night, and we got a bit burnt out. It also may have been because Shauna beat me 12-1 that night and I refuse to see how badly I continue to lose.

It’s great having a game room in our house, thus giving us the ability to play bar games and not have to leave the confines of our basement.

This is a little late, but here are the 2007 totals:
Cribbage winner: Jason 164 – 145
Darts winner: Jason 33-18
Foosball winner: Shauna 60-22

You know the competition is fierce when Shauna was accused of cheating in an especially heated game of late-night foosball last night. I’m not sure who would have done that, but I still swear she may have been taking two points per goal in our last game.
