No, this is not a joke about vacuum cleaners. Or how the Giants are like a Shop-Vac - so versatile they can go from suck to blow with the flip of a switch.
No, this is about how you should NEVER EVER buy a vacuum cleaner that is bagless. Always buy the one with the disposable bag. The bagless container simply spreads dust in all directions and never gets clean. I hate mine.
In good news: YOU ABSOLUTELY MUST CATCH MONDAY'S DAILY SHOW!!!!!!!
Yes, I am referring to a show that has already aired, but I believe it may re-air Monday morning, Nov. 17th. Set up the VCR. During the first segment, Steven Colbert reports (from England) about the Prince Charles sex scandal.
For those of you who don't know, Prince Charles was accused of some sort of gay thing. The reason I'm so vague is that British law prohibits any discussion of the details under it's libel law. (The Setup)
So, Colbert tries to describe what is accused through subtle hand gestures throughout his generally dry piece. This becomes so hilarious that even Colbert breaks down and laughs hysterically - so hard that he is unable to finish the story. From there it goes on...
I'll not ruin anything more for when it airs again. If anyone has any idea of when it reruns, please pass it along. The guest for the episode was Will Ferrell, who also continues the joke.
I cried from laughing so hard, I had to rewind it because I couldn't see through my tears.
Why should that be exciting? Simply because I get to go home and see my family for the first time in a long while. I have not had the proper outlet for venting just how badly the Giants suck, and they will provide just that.
Speaking of outlets, I just provided a new one. If you look to the left, you will find a new message board I installed. Just click on "Forum" to your left and you can visit the new place. As per usual, the color scheme needs changing and some other stuff may not fully work yet, but check it out and try it. Just remember, you have to register before posting, but not before reading.
I have not been able to breathe out of my left nostril for a few hours now, which is much more annoying than I remember. My lovely girlfriend, Amber brought this miscreant virus into our apartment a few days ago. I've had a sore throat for about two days, but I only started feeling like real crap in the last 12 hours or so.
My current dilemma is whether or not to see the doctor. My suspicion is that I have a cold, which is caused by a virus - and thus, uncureable. All a doctor would do is treat the symptoms, which I can do myself with a huge bottle of Dimetapp. The reason for this suspicion? Every time I blow my nose, like everyone else on this planet - I instinctually open the tissue to see what just came out.
Now, some would deride this as gross, but it is perfectly natural. Every day, we pour liquids into our head to drink and shove food in our skull to eat. It is a rare occasion that our heads reverse the process and present us with a gift. Most of the time, it's just some hunk of ear wax propelling itself out my ear (which I always check out as well). However, on days we are sick the nose joins in the fun.
As my sister can attest, the nose is normally the receiver of objects. Like Legos. When the tables are turned, it can release two things: clear, runny mucus (a sign of a virus or allergy); or disturbingly discolored goo - usually in the color range of flourescent green to greenish-yellow to creepy brown. If the latter is the case, it is a sign of a bacterial infection somewhere in the Ear, Nose Throat region. This can be cured by antibiotics. Viruses cannot. Thus, I will probably not go to the doctor.
Side note: When I was little, my pediatrician was located next to an Ear, Nose and Throat doctor. I was always confused by the odd collection of bodyparts to specialize in. Why not be a toenail, butt and little-hanging-thing-in-the-back-of-your-throat (uvula) doctor?
P.P.S. Uvula is a great word. So is ungulate. It is a general term for a hooved mammal (i.e. cow, giraffe). I believe it's pronounced un-guh-lait.
Although I am still a bit sick and hocking up huge amounts of mucus, tonight I head home for Thanksgiving. Going back to Jersey.
Not that that's particularly newsworthy. But, if you read the rest of this site - you'll notice that nothing else here is either.
N.B. The define button has returned. If you have trouble using it, make sure you higlight a complete word with no spaces, and then click on the actual letters of "Define" not just the space around it.
P.S. Check out the Forum. It's now bustling with activity. Most of it from Boylans. Not all of them are from this country.
