We're back (like those dinosaurs in that awful animated feature). Thanks for all the calls and comments regarding the blackout (note sarcasm).

Sorry for the poor audio. We’re still experimenting with recording software. By “experimenting” I mean we’re too cheap to buy decent software.

I know. It’s been awhile since my last post. I’ve been busy.

“With what?” you ask.

“With the first episode of The Random Show with Troy and Emery podcast!” I answer.

That’s right. I have joined the bloated ranks of the podcasting army.

What’s the podcast about? Anything. It’s pretty random, hence the name.

The topics of discussion in the first episode include Barack Obama’s inauguration, ethnic names, Watchmen, and Super Bowl parties.

Bruce Lee plays ping pong!

The 1st Annual Pasta Pomodoro Flag Football Turkey Bowl was a big success! A lot of people showed up (more than we had flags for) and had a great time.

From Thanksgiving 2008

I’m in the front row second from the left sporting FSU colors. I’m wearing black in advance mourning of the FSU-Florida game. I hate Florida. Like Jennifer hates Angelie.

I also wanted to share this video.

Bruce Lee playing ping pong is intensely more enjoyable than watching vampires play baseball.

Ray once again hooked me up with a new banner for the blog. This one is in honor of the new James Bond film Quantum of Solace which opens tomorrow, November 14.

I always wondered what I would look like in a tux, smoking a cigarette, while pointing a gun between a pair of golden legs. I have to wonder no more.

I am seeing the film at midnight at the Arclight in Sherman Oaks. If you’re in the area, come join me!

Just a reminder. Go vote if you're registered (to vote, not as a sex offender).

You know what? Vote even if you're not registered. Go take the Pepsi Challenge. Do you really want four more years of Coke? Or vote independent and choose Dr. Pepper. He's got a degree.

So go cast your ballot today and be a part of the process. All the cool kids are doing it.

For all you California voters: vote no on Prop 8.

It’s the End of the World As We Know It…But I Feel Fine!

Happy Halloween!!

Remember…send me all of your unwanted candy corn. Can’t get enough candy corn. I think I will eat only half my stash this year and plant the other half in case next year’s crop comes in short.

I had a bit of a scare two days ago. I dislocated my right shoulder making a catch during a softball game. I needed to go to the hospital but had to wait until the end of the game for one of my team mates to transport me. No big deal. It was the bottom half of the last inning and we were way ahead of the other team.

Of course this was the time the other team decided to make a bit of a comeback. I don’t remember too much, being in agonizing pain and all, but it just seemed the other team keep getting hits. Maybe they were punishing me for robbing them of a couple of hits during the game and wanted to keep my shoulder dangling from the socket as long as possible. At one point, I considered doing some field surgery and just popping my shoulder back in myself a la Martin Riggs in Lethal Weapon 2.

But I was afraid of passing out from the pain and my team mates would think I died and harvest my organs on the black market.

Thankfully the game finally ended. So about 30 minutes after I dislocated my shoulder I was being medi-vaced to the hospital by our third baseman. The hospital took some x-rays, put me under and popped my shoulder back into place. My recollection of all this is vague since I was lost in a fog of agony but my team mate was kind enough to provide the narrative in an email the following day. I wish I was more lucid since this was only the second time I’ve ever been admitted to a hospital since the infamous castration incident.

I woke up shortly after my shoulder was fixed and went home with my arm in a cool new sympathy sling.

I’m hoping the sling will garner me higher tips at work. Or maybe a phone number or two.

Random Rant

“It is what it is.”

I hate that phrase. Really. Like pears hate apples. Like Harry Carey hates Mother Theresa.

It’s a backwater, faux-Cartesian piece of diatribe poo. Anyone who uses it should have their flesh flayed away by a sand gun and have their bones bleached under the hot Gobi sun.

Yes, I’m upset that Tony Romo will be out for 4 weeks. I can kiss my fantasy season goodbye.

Where did I put that knife?

noreply@blogger.com (Troy) — Tue, 30 Sep 2008 20:35:00 +0000

In this Metropolitan Police handout released Tuesday, X-ray images show how a teenage boy cheated death when a five-inch knife was plunged into his head. The 16-year-old and two other young men were injured when they tried to stop a friend being robbed at a bus stop. He was rushed to hospital with the kitchen knife still stuck in his forehead after the attack in Walworth, south London, last November.

R.I.P Paul Newman

noreply@blogger.com (Troy) — Sat, 27 Sep 2008 16:52:00 +0000

Just read that Paul Newman has died of cancer. He was a great actor. He just seemed like a class act. And he made damn good salad dressings.

One of my favorite Paul Newman roles was as Brick in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. He did an awesome job. Of course, it’s hard to mess up a role when your name is Brick. It’s masonry. The big bad wolf couldn’t blow it down.

I know a lot of people will miss him.

I know this is incredible. Two posts in two days. Get over it.

Today is my birthday. The big four-oh. But you know what they say..."40 is the new 39." I prefer what my friend Ray says, 'you're only as old as the girls you feel."

40. I'm only a corvette and 20 year-old girlfriend away from a mid-life crisis. Again.

According to the Roman Catholic Church today is a Feast Day for the Beheading of St. John the Baptist?

Grim.

According to Terminator 2: Judgement Day, August 29th is the day Cyberdyne Systems blows up the world.

Groovy.

For those of you in the Los Angeles area you are all invited to celebrate my Judgement Day/Beheading Feast/Bowling Extravaganza tonight.

Where: Corbin Bowling Center

When:11pm-???

Bring your balls (and bowling shoes)!!
