It is with deep regret that I must announce that Murdock Hinckley died today at the ripe old age of 84. Mr. Hinckley met his end at 7:04am in a tragic blender accident he lead his courageous battle for a good 2 minutes before succumbing to puree of this most dangerous appliance.

Murdock spent his life cheating others and befriending the natives. During his life he excelled at mediocrity. He loved to hear and tell jokes, especially short ones due to his limited attention span. He had a life long love affair with bacon, butter, spoons and those little plastic things on the end of shoe strings.

You always knew what Fred was thinking much to the dismay of his friend and family. His sons said of Fred, "he was often wrong, but never in doubt". When his family was asked what they remembered about Fred, they fondly recalled how Fred never peed in the shower - on purpose... He will be interned at The Holy of Monks of St. Winky. He is survived by his two 3 legged dogs; Spankster and Kat, a hamster, and one son Athos.

He will be happily missed…..Contributions can be sent to this station in care of Rudolph Finkinstein.

It's FRIDAY!
Last night we had a great start to our softball season by winning 11-3. We had Laura, Turbo Dave, Sarah S, Sarah B, Kim, Stacy M, Gretchy, Beth, Jesse, Andy, Skip(me), and Sedi.
Everybody looked pretty descent….the only problem I see with the team is Skip’s batting….in one word PATHETIC….enough about me. Andy looked fabulous pitching last night. Beth had a great catch after taking her sunglasses off. Laura stretched a little too much…moving those arms above her head….and no sign of Mags, she called right before we start giving me that story about how this is the most important moment of her life if I don’t show up……so what’s so important….stay tuned.........

After our exhilarating win we headed to Charlie’s.I swear Kenny G. lives there….we stayed for a little while then most was going to head to Bradley’s. Me….I was going to try to get a little work done and sleep…I didn’t realize how early it was when I left…and I wasn't going to be that far from Bradley’s….so I thought I could have one…..3 hours later.…I’m leaving after making some new friends; Alice and Michelle. Alice and I actually grew up close and I knew her dad. My mom was her teacher, she even thought my brother was hot once…. and some other things. Michelle and I shot pool controlling the table till we were ready to leave. We'll be going to lunch together sometime next week.
Also made friends with a group of guys from Minnesota, they were on their way to the Royals and Twins in KC. We’re going to head to MN for a few twin games and crash with them.

We are heading down to InPlay tonight then the Cubs game. The Fun Haters tomorrow.....

Deep Thought Of The Day: If you're a young Mafia gangster out on your first date, I bet it's real embarrassing if someone tries to kill you.

FYI: If you happen to say "So what are you doing at 2:30" to the waitress at Bradleys in front of the bartender. The bartender isn't smart enough to realize you're saying that to be funny......

"As reported on Yahoo, Microsoft has settled the suit brought by the State of Iowa. Individuals can collect $16 for each copy of MS-DOS or Windows purchased from 1994-2006, while Office nets $29. No proof of purchase required! Now I can finally get some money from Microsoft!"

Actually got some sleep last night...maybe 6.5 hours...the best I've done for a couple weeks. That will change this weekend.

We had pool last night and my brother was actually in a descent mood...even towards me. He has been having a rough time lately and just not fun to be around....on a crappier note we lost last night.
Note: Garlic Chicken from House of Hunan has no flavor......

Softball
Sounds like most of the girls(ones that aren't all about themselves) are excited for the softball game tonight...It should be a fun night....
I sure hope to the softball god Andy's been practicing....we are all counting on him to lead us to victory!

Crack-whore Stacy stopped and secretly loaded her refuse into my truck last night when no one was looking....

Morale of the story: You can not release cans of tuna back into the wild.

Alright..I'd better get to work. Everyone have a great day!
Somebody got in a 4 mile walk last night....hope she sticks to it....Doesn't that pic look like her from Jimmy Buffett?


Steak Ride
I was trying to get some information about the first ride last night, here's the response I got:
We all made a pact last night: what happened on the first steak ride of 2007, STAYS on the first steak ride of 2007. It was ugly. It was scandalous. It was tragic. We must never speak of it again.

Talk about statistics......Here's a few good reasons why we have to recycle.......

Fun Haters ride on Saturday...have to find my bike...I saw it in November.....Friday night?....Ia Cubs?....planting?

Austin winning regional free-throw competition. He's in the second picture down, second from left arms crossed....off to state. He had won locals in Indianola...then he won districts and now regionals.

My friend Eric was reminiscing about his days at Tarj.....In the early 90's I used to work with J. B. and he would always come to work riding on his bicycle with a HUGE boom box.
He would carry it on his shoulder with loud music blaring as he came into work which made for a hilarious scene as he was a 5'8" 125 pounds when wet 40 year old skinny white guy. We always knew he wasn't all there.

J.B. had 3 kids and he and his wife were trying to have a fourth. J.B. was working with me part time in the evenings because he and his wife were paying for fertility treatments because they had difficulty conceiving on their own. After several months, his wife became pregnant with their 4th kid. The hospital did some genetic testing to check for any abnormalities and J.B. found out that he was not the father of the child. It turns out that his wife had a boyfriend on the side and she had been screwing this guy for the entire time instead of going to the fertility clinic. She had been taking the money that J.B. was giving her for the fertility treatments and spending it on her boyfriend. None of the four kids were his.

I found out a while ago that J.B. is still married to this woman 15 years later.
