Later on tonight I will get my first sample of the Playstaion 2.
Mark paid for one along time ago and he actually got his Thursday. He also already has several games for it.
Its gotten to the point that I hope I get one before Christmas. I ordered a PS2 from Outpost.com Sept 7, 2000. It was immediately placed on back order because it wasn't out yet. So Thursday night I called the helpline and asked when they would start shipping them. The guy on the phone said, "Sony promises them by March 1."
Stunned I said, "March 1."
"March 1."
"March 1.", I repeated.
He said, "They promise them by March 1 but we hope to get some before then."
The only thing I could say was "Ok" and I hung up. What can you say? If it was a month away I would have been disappointed. If it was two months away I would have been really disappointed. But five months away is so beyond what I expected I couldn't believe it. The stores will have them fully stock long before that date passes. At least I would hope so. It will probably be lean up until Christmas but damn if I'm going to wait until March.
Good Night, Good Morning, whatever.

I was at the Mag last night and I spent most of my time there talking to a girl named Tracy. As we were talking I remembered one of the strangest nights I've ever encountered at the Mag.
It was probably about 3 years ago. At one of the pool tables there was this young lesbian and a woman Marine playing pool. I later found out that the Marine was straight but her friend thought she was in denial. Anyway this old lesbian kept hitting on the Marine. The Marine wanted no part of it. Finally they got so fed up they decided to leave.
When the Marine and the young lesbian got out to the Marine's car they couldn't find the keys. The old lesbian followed them out and kept trying to help them find the keys and hit on the Marine. The Marine got so frustrated that she searched the old lesbian just to make sure she didn’t have the keys. Finally the Marine told the old lesbian that if she didn’t leave she would punch her. The old lesbian kept bothering the Marine until the Marine actually dotted her eye.
The old lesbian was still trying to help.
The Marine left with another friend to get her spare set of keys. This left the young lesbian and the old lesbian at the Mag.
You need to realize that at that point the only thing I know is that the Marine lost her keys.
So the young and old lesbian are in the bar and they start to argue loudly. I intervene and tell them that if they want to stay in the bar they need to leave each other alone. The young lesbian tells me that’s what she wants. She doesn’t want the old lesbian to look at her much less talk to her. Everyone seemed to agree to the terms.
One minute later the old lesbian starts in on the young one. I step in again and tell the old lesbian to get the fuck out. She asks why and I tell her. She then refused to leave. I tried to reason with her then I asked Danny to talk her out. Danny asks if she’s deaf and then tells her to get the fuck out or we’ll call the cops. She still refuses to leave. Danny calls the cops.
This little old lesbian was probably 5’2” and 140 pounds. We could have easily picked her up and tossed her out. Several of the female patrons of the bar offered to do it for us. But she wasn’t being violent and we felt that violence wasn’t going to solve our problem. It could potentially cause more problems.
So we’re waiting for the cops to arrive and I’m standing near the door and the old lesbian is sitting at the bar looking at me. (At least she had forgotten about the young lesbian.) After a short while she walks up to me and says, “Now would be a good time for you to leave.”
I said, “What?!”
“It would be a good time for you to leave, now.” was her reply.
I said, “I work here.”
She then stepped back and said, “1…2…3…” and started talking into the collar of her jacket. She sat back down and a cop showed up a few minutes later.
He took her to a payphone somewhere away from the Mag just to get rid of her for us.
…and they all lived happily ever after.
Good Night, Good Morning, whatever.

Just in case I might have gotten lucky, I went to Wal-Mart after I got off work just to see if they had any Playstation 2's in. I got there at 12:05AM. They were sold out.
I had gone to the Wal-Mart on Hurstbourne Lane because that was the closest one to where I work and it wasn't that much out of my way. On my way into town I thought to myself, another Wal-Mart in Clarksville is not to far, so I went there. As I'm walking in I see people walking out with them. I'm thinking, "HOT DAMN!"
As I go back to the electronic section I see one guy carrying two of them out and several other people carrying the Playstation 2 boxes. I get to electronics and there are a bunch more people holding the boxes and then I noticed something peculiar. Each person has a Wal-Mart nametag on. Every God Damn one of them. I asked one of the guys if there were any left and he said, "This ones already paid for." Then he told me that they were sold out.
Yeah they're sold out. Every Wal-Mart employee in the building bought them up. I think that's fucked up. They should at least have the decency to hide the fact that they were employee's. It's would have been bad enough if I had thought that all of the Playstations had gone to other people in a sort of luck of the draw. First come, first serve. And I would have done the same thing, I would have taken advantage of my position in order to get a Playstation earlier than most.
All I am saying is that if someone is going to take liberties because they are in a position that others are not, they should not advertise it.
Anyway, I stopped by the Mag and went home to carve a pumpkin for a contest at work. If I hadn't mentioned it before I work at HSA. An ISP of sorts. Here's a pic of my effort.
Good Night, Good Morning, whatever.

Today, was a very nondescript day.
So I'll tell you the Halloween Joke I promised a few days ago:
Betty decides to throw a costume party for Halloween. To throw in a unique twist, she asks each guest to come as an emotion.
The first guest shows up and its a man dress all in green with a big "N" and "V" on his chest.
Betty looks at him immediately and says, "Your green with envy!"
The first guest comes in.
A few moments later the second guest shows up and its a woman dressed all in pink with a big pink feather boa.
Betty looks at her and says, "I'm not sure but I'd say you were tickled pink."
The second guest says, "Correct!" and steps in.
A moment later a third guest arrives and when Betty opens the door he's standing on her porch, buck naked with a pear in front of his penis.
Betty shouts, "What the Hell are you supposed to be?!"
The third guest says, "I'm fucking 'dis pear!"
Good Night, Good Morning, whatever.

Last night was a night of highs and lows. Tina and I hung out most of the evening and then we went met down at the Mag. I got to see my friend Nikki who now lives in Huntsville, AL. We only got to talk for an hour or so but it was so good to see her. I don't normally like to throw the "L"-word out there even when it comes to friendship. Nikki is one friend I really love. She was only in town because she had a death in her family. I wish that wasn't the reason I got to see her. She left the bar early because she had had a long day and she had to get up early tomorrow.
The night went down from there. The only thing good I can say was that it was a slow decline. This guy got thrown out of the bar because he was screaming at another guy. Danny grabbed him tossed him out and then it turned out that they were just quoting Goodfellas and he got a little carried away. They had friends incommon and it was all written off, no harm done.
Then there was some more drama in the back and the bar was only going to be open for another 20 minutes so I decided it was a good time to leave.
Matt went to this extreme wrestling show the other day. If you want to read about check out his webpage.

Today was a good day. Cherie and I went to see The Legend of Drunken Master. It was a good show, especially if you like the older Jackie Chan movies, when there was more kung fu than story. Then I went over to Dave's for the big Dave and Danny Chili Cookoff. I missed the chili because I got there late but I knew everyone there and I had a good time.
I think I have an idea for a Halloween costume. Right now I'm going to keep it secret until I can see if I can pull the requirements together. So, tomorrow I'm heading to Caufield's see what I can get.
I realize this post is a little unfocused but you must forgive me because I'm about to fall asleep.
Good Night, Good Morning, whatever.

So last night at the bar, this girl says something to a friend of mine. I barely know the girl and have only seen her a handful of times. We were all in the same booth. He went to get a drink and she says, "I don't think he expected me to say that."
My reply was, "Well, I didn't hear what you said."
She said, "I'll tell you but I won't tell anybody else... I like anal sex."
Pause.
"Well, I didn't expect you to say that."
This is just a small sample of what last night was like at the Mag. It was a surreal evening and I am glad I was completely sober. Don't get me wrong I had a really good time. It was just very odd.
Now on to the subject of anal sex. Why! For God's sake! I'm not even going to go into the "catching" part of anal sex. I want to talk about the "pitching" part. Matt put it this way, "My penis is the most important thing I own. Why would I want to put it where pooh lives?"
If your going to do this PLEASE wear a condom. I can't help but think that if you had anal sex without a condom you would end up with a plug of pooh in your peehole. It just sounds very unpleasant. Whatever happened to a good old fashioned blowjob.
Stop the madness!
Good Night, Good Morning, whatever.
