Greetings from Justinland

Happy Opening Day

It's about time, damn it

100 years ago, when songwriters Jack Norworth and Albert Von Tilzer composed the ever popular Take Me Out to Ballgame, neither of them had ever attended a Major League Game.

TMOTTBG is widely considered one of America's most beloved tunes, along with Happy Birthday, White Christmas and Stairway to Heaven, although now days, at least at Kaufmann Stadium, the lyric would have to be amended to  include 'buy me some Dippin Dots, a Gates BBQ'd Pork Sandwich, super nachos and an $6.75 beer'

I don't care it I ever get back

(But don't forget that baseball season will start, be played and the World Series over before the 2008 Presidential Election is over)

 

Flakes

Ever since I read the story about the 2 sisters that sold the Illinois shaped cornflake on Ebay for a ridiculous $1,350, I have been worried that I may have crunched up thousands of dollars during episodes of mindless snacking. Just yesterday, I added some Fritos to my split pea soup and didn’t even bother to check if I had a corn smelling Botticelli’s
Venus or Virgin Mary. Hey, it could happen.   

Now, if I took a nibble out of the upper right hand corner of a Keebler Club cracker, I might be able to pass it off as being shaped like Kansas, which   is mostly a rectangle, except for the Northeast corner that is shaped by the  Missouri River.

  For the reasonable price of only $7.99. you can bid on this lovely Alfred Hitchcock shaped cornflake. Mother's Day is coming.

Well, I am off to the snack shop for a bag of Cheetoes.  I am hoping to find Michaeangelo's David within.

Top of the Morning to Ya.
Yeah, I have some vaguely Irish Ancestry. 

Let’s See…what’s new and exciting in Justinland?

 

 

 

 

I’m still thinking….

 

 

Uhhh, I got a traffic ticket for going the wrong way on a one way street in a small town. The fine was $26.50 

I am going to Los  Angeles next month. Hello Mikey.

I seemed to have dodged the influenza bullet 

Work has been busy, like 12hr a day busy 

We did take an afternoon off and went to see the PBR when the cowboys and bulls were in town.  Yee Haw! 

I am disappointed in my girl, Hillary. 

I started crying in the middle of the grocery store last week for no apparent reason. I blamed beef prices. 

Miss B is going to college in the fall

The big crane at the construction site outside of my office window knocked over the port-a-potties

What’s New With You?

I had never seen a bald eagle in the wild before. It was a peak moment
