Things That Wait With Baited Passport

Posted on June 21, 2006 by Jorge

Things That Pop Into My Head

Have you ever seen a person who resembles someone you know? I’m sure you have. But how many times do you see a look-alike who is actually from a different ethnic background?

I was on the subway this morning, and I was standing next to a young Indian gentleman who looked like an Indian version of André 3000 from Outkast.

The funny thing was, every time I looked at this guy all I could think of was…


Out-caste


I’m going to hell, aren’t I?



Waiting With Baited Beth

Beth came over the other night to hang out with us. It was great.

I hadn’t seen Beth since Dave’s wedding several years ago.

We went to high school together, and traveled in different circles. I met her through her sister, and always thought she was a great person

We basically chilled on the deck with Beth and our neighbour, eating take-out Indian food* and drinking some fine wines.

You should take a moment to check out her page. She’s a great writer as well as being a fun person to hang out with.



The Beer Passport

I have decided to keep track of all the different beers I have ever tried. This idea was inspired by Reay who gave me eight different beers from around the world for my birthday.

It’s in the side bar, and the top bar under Passports, pluralized due to the fact that I will be putting in a wine list at some point.

Click and enjoy!

Paddy Whacks – The Sequel

Posted on May 19, 2006 by Jorge

Paddy Whacks Addendum

So, I posted this article a few days ago, encouraging people to chat about funny or silly things I have said or done.

Honestly, that was a great trip down memory lane. I had me some great belly laughs. Since you were all so kind, I thought I would reciprocate by posting some funny pictures of myself growing up.

So without further ado (feel free to click to enlarge)…



Infant


They call me Bill Z. Bub…


Yes. To quote Rodney Dangerfield, when I was born they didn’t slap me. They slapped my mother for having such an ugly child.



Me. Au natural…


Honestly. What photo show would be complete without the one photo that parents will always show your closest friends?



Adolescent


Worst…Cop…Ever…


I really don’t know what I was thinking here. I suppose when you’re a kid, you don’t really think things through. Obviously, cops will never be caught dead wearing shoes like that.

Nor will you see them hiking their pants up in such a manner. At least, not north of Tennesee.



Pride of the Boy Scouts…


By pride I meant embarassment. I don’t know how I ever thought this was cool. I always heard that chicks dig a guy in uniform. Er…



Grown Up


The Beginning of the End…


This was one of the first big pants photos that Dave and I took. The idea was to take a photo of us in a huddle using our feet.

Don’t ask me why.



This picture makes us look far too young…


My wife lovingly took this photo because we reminded her of two childhood friends. Given that we still act like kids once in a while, I suppose that was fair.



The Moment You’ve All Been Waiting For


Never pack too light…


Yes. This is the picture of me drying a pair of underwear over the camp stove, as detailed by Tien in the comments of the last post.

What more really needs to be said?


I hope you all enjoyed my tribute to my own embarassing moments. Have a great long weekend!

Paddy Whacks

This is the month in which I was born.

The world most likely regrets this month, as it would have been spared my insanity. However, I’m here, world, so deal with it.

In celebration of this birth anniversary, I’m turning to you, my readers (especially my friends) and offering you the option to participate in a creative exercise*.

In the comments field, I want you to write about three of your funniest memories of me. I’m curious to know what some of these things are. Partially out of nostalgia, but mostly because I think that this could generate a lot of laughs.

Feel free to write as much as you want about each item, especially the funny ones. If you’re like Dave, you will know how to skillfully embellish to get the giggles going.




* – That is, I am too lazy to think of anything at the present time.

I Know Vocabulatronics Appreciation Lessons

Posted on April 17, 2006 by Jorge

I Know a Genius

I chat with my friend Shatton quite a bit. It’s intermittent conversation, but it’s good.

Every once in a while, a little conversational gem makes itself known, so I capture it and share it with a wider audience*.

If I am having a bad day, chances are Shatton can cheer me up.

So let’s take a gander at some of the fun we have…



Vocabulatronics

Once in a while, we will invent a word that will sum up many concepts in one fell swoop. This is the pinnacle of conversational efficiency.

While most of the time word inventions are intentional, every once in a while a new word will slip through that was the result of typing too fast.

Not all of our words are good, though, as you will see…





That Shatton, always thinking of webifying everything…



Musical Appreciation

Shatton loves music. He knows more about music than most small countries.

That being said, his warped sense of humour will find its way into conversations once in a while. The fact that he actually typed out the lyrics to the song in his head makes this even funnier.

Try saying them the way they were meant to be said and you’ll understand what I mean…





Life Lessons

For all of his genius, Shatton misses the point of life lessons sometimes.

Take a gander at something that happened to him, and what lesson he derived from it…






* – Actually, there are more examples than I would really be able to save and manage properly. Not to mention, though I may find them funny, not everyone else will.

More Weekend

Posted on April 14, 2006 by Jorge

More Network Shenanigans

Handsome B. Wonderful (aka Mr. Shellie) has been on fire lately. Here is the sequel to this conversation that we had a few days ago.

Again, we are geeky, so don’t worry if you don’t quite understand what we are talking about. We won’t hold it against you.

We’re good like that…



Say what? Click to see!



Have A Great Weekend

I’m not sure if I’ll be posting again this weekend. I probably should, considering how many funny conversations* I have saved in this format.

If I don’t, though, I hope you all have a great weekend, whether you celebrate Easter or not!



Cheers,
Jorge






* – I think they are funny.
