My first quiz night at the Londoner


Sandy, Rye and Bread could have kept me full of beer. If only I known how quiz night worked. It was fun. It was hosted by Sam. There was more then a little bashings and confessions about the previous host "Mr.L"

The highest mountain outside of Asia?

Who did Hulk Hogan defeat in 1984 to take the WWF championship belt?

slushy bevvy


these things are overrated

kids wisely chose ice cream

Telephone and TV


My new phone has a Tv. As well as loads of other weird stuff like, two sim card slots. It was made by the same people that make T-shirts with artistic, but mispelled Englsih. So it will last a long time but look odd. IT has a sony viao logo. When there is "no signal" my phone displays "no simple". So far so good. It has excellent battery life and a cool touch screen.. 3000nt

Paraskavedekatriaphobia

I did not know this.

LEGEND HAS IT: If 13 people sit down to dinner together, one will die within the year. The Turks so disliked the number 13 that it was practically expunged from their vocabulary (Brewer, 1894).

Many cities do not have a 13th Street or a 13th Avenue. Many buildings don't have a 13th floor. If you have 13 letters in your name, you will have the devil's luck (Jack the Ripper, Charles Manson, Jeffrey Dahmer, Theodore Bundy and Albert De Salvo all have 13 letters in their names).

Christmas Dinner







Yeah there were a few comments like:
When did we do this last?
Where is the fancy dinning table and chairs?
You made nice mashed potatoes!
The troop was smaller, 3 sisters, 2 kids, and a date.
I have to admit I was thrilled to do something fun.
If I thought he'd show I would have called up someone with an appetite and a thirst for vodka.
Grand total of 9 people.

Driving Downhill


Pic (A). Cost 1600nt$
Pic (B) Cost 1600 nt$
The fun part is that one pic came on Tuesday and one came on wednesday.
Thursday I was nervous.
Wifey said "I told you to slow down!". I would have if someone had told me there is a big sign in Chinese saying Traffic camera. OR I made the leap from "slow down" to the camera will take your picture.
This is a down hill stretch after leaving the freeway. The limit was 60 and I was coasting at 73 and 75. SHIT!
