Angry Jiggy

I learned something today that I should have picked up on long ago. I have watched Captain Redneck yell at people and have them apologize to him. I have also seen him ignore people and they leave him alone. He has provided proof that rudeness provides not only enjoyment for others but can be rewarded with kindness. Today I got upset at work. I may have raised my voice a tad bit and sounded out some displeasures. So what did this get me? Fired? No. Yelled at? No. Reprimands? No. None of the normal things you would expect. Instead, I had people apologizing, thanking me for normal tasks I perform daily and hell, buying me lunch. This is a bad precedence to set for me. I think if I hit somebody, I might get promoted. Well this thing kind of blew over but I have learned that a wee bit of anger can be your friend.

I want to be the first to say it out loud. The Hawkman family has come and gone and my family is none worse for the wear. We had a good time. I beat the piss out of Hawkman in darts on Saturday night. Rumor has it that he might have bested me by a tad on Friday night but I had been up for 24 straight hours and I don't remember much of that night. I do know, that I worked him over on Saturday. That is, of course, until we hit the DDR. Now most of you will not know what a DDR is. I own it and I did not know. It is the Dance, Dance, Revolution. You know, the dance mats where you follow dance along with the Playstation game. Somehow, as white as he is, and look up honkie in the dictionary and you will see Hawkman, somehow, he has crazy moves on this game. He beat the crap out of the adults in the house. Unfortunately for his ego, as bad as he destroyed us, my ten your old just housed him. Obviously this game is made for the younger more hip crowd. Alls I know is I am glad I don't have to dance for a living. I would have some starving kids. Ever see the Elaine dancing episode on Seinfeld? That is me.

I also got a taste of the Wii this weekend. I don't know what you do at home Ebone. But that is not the kind of Wii I was tasting. My son's friend brought over the Wii and I was ready to bust up some little kids in some tennis. Only problem is I sucked. I got beat by my son. Then I played the computer guys who supposedly, to quote the boys, 'Sucked'. Well they beat my ass too. I think we should get me playing against Neckbone on this. He might actually have a chance to beat me there.

I am, again, hoping on inclimate weather. I am sure there will be enough ice on the roads to keep me home tomorrow. I am just hoping they close work so I get a free day. Speaking of work and roads, I spoke to Lumpy today. His normal midwest 20 minute, no traffic, brag about your commute trip took 1 1/2 hours today. A little 9 inch snow hit busted up the midwest. His blushing bride is homesick. She wants out of the snow, tornado, ice belt and back to the East Coast. Stay out there Mrs. Lumpy. Too much traffic and high housing prices out this way.

Congrats to the Oracle. His Indianapolis Colts are the champs. Not too often that you can be proud of a team that you steal from another city and claim as your own. Don't let that bother you. Enjoy your glory.

One last sports story. I heard that a former NBA player has a book out. SURPRISE. He is gay. Not enough of that going on in the world. So they ask current players how they would feel about gays in the locker room. One player had the quote of the year. Shavlik Randolph said that he is open to gays, "As long as you don't bring your gayness on me I'm fine." What more can I say.
