I guess God made a deposit

Remember this post where God’s check bounced and the stupid bank lost the copy of it?

Well, the bank did some kind of “special” transaction so that they could redeposit the check. And guess what? God apparently made a deposit because the check cleared this time.

I guess God was running a little thin between paychecks…

Here’s what I really do when I go golfing

The cat is out of the bag (so to speak). Before any rumors start floating around out there I’d like to be the first one to come clean about what I do when I go golfing. This pic should give you the idea.

Thanks to my pal Rich at Eat Golf for letting out my “little secret.”

Apple releases multi button mouse 21 years late


Apple came out with the Mac in 1984. It’s now 2005 and they’re releasing their first mouse with more than one button: The Mighty Mouse

Way to go Apple. You guys are freaking pioneers, really.

And in true Apple fashion they’ve priced it right in line with all the other mice out there at $49.00. Ok, I’m an Apple freak. But come on Apple, why would I pay $49 for an Apple mouse when I can pay $5-10 for the equivalent from some other company?

Crappy band stuffs ballot box

You know those local entertainment newspapers where each year they have a vote for the best local band, best female singer, best drummer etc? One year there was this shitty local band called Stone Pony (dumb name too). They stuffed the ballot box and had all their friends vote. So the awards ceremony went something like this:

“And the award for best band is…..Stone Pony”
“The award for best new band of the year is….Stone Pony”
“The award for best male vocalist is…..John from Stone Pony”
“The award for best bass player is…. Fred from Stone Pony”
“The award for best drummer is….Mike from Stone Pony”
“The best guitar player of the year is….Frank from Stone Pony”
“The best keyboard player of the year is…Chris from Stone Pony”
“The year’s best sound man is….Jason, the sound man for Stone Pony”
“The album of the year is…..Stone Pony”
“Best band to see live this year…Stone Pony”
“Best female vocalist of the year is….Sheila (girlfriend of someone in Stone Pony)”
“Best graphic design on an album cover is….Stone Pony”
