Science with My Nuts
Sucking my nuts into a bottle
Here's an interesting experiment. I’ll guarantee you'll be talking about this one at the bar the next day.
1. Find a bottle with a long, narrow neck and set it on the table. The opening should be just small enough to keep my nuts from falling inside.
2. Drop 3 lit matches into the bottle.
3. Quickly place my nuts over the mouth of the bottle.
What happens?
The lit matches heat the air inside the bottle. When air is heated it expands (and takes up more room). As the heated air expands, some of it escapes out the bottle. When the matches go out, the air inside the bottle cools and contracts (and takes up less room), thus creating a lower pressure inside the bottle than outside. The greater pressure outside the bottle forces my nuts into the bottle.
Want to get my nuts out of the bottle?
I really do!!! If you know how fill me in!
Good Night, Good Morning, whatever.

If you like the site Red Meat, you should appreciate the link of the day. You can create your own Red Meat comic. I spent five minutes and came up with one. I think I can do better.
Matt, Sam and I went to PT's and saw the headliner Summer Leigh. It was a good show and we all got prints of her enhanced breasts. She painted her boobs and carefully pressed each boob on the back of an 8 x 10 of her. I'll try to scan it tomorrow, so you can see it. It was a good time. I spent most of the night away from the stage because of my cold infested breast theory. But I did pull up a chair when the headliner was about to come out. I did get one pair of breasts rubbed in my face. Hopefully they were disease free. I'll let you know.
Good Night, Good Morning, whatever.

Ah me...
This week has been pretty crazy at work. It seems like I've been running around with my head cut off. Its like 3 months worth of work has been crushed down into this one month. I won't bore you with the details.
I got an email from Charlie and he was happy about his victory in the Photo Caption Contest. He didn't remember that I offered to take the winner to dinner. Of course, I was kind of vague on the prize because if I didn't know who would win. But I haven't seen Charlie in a while and it will be good to see him again.
Yesterday, I spoke of the Nubs. A little known band but very influental. I feel the need to share with you the email Teddy sent me on the subject:
Do you need the CD to get some songs from? I have the ONLY copy...
BWAAHAHAHAAHAAAA!!!
TEDDY
Teddy is correct though. The Nubs only released one CD and it was an exclusive pressing of one. Apparently, Teddy has got ahold of the only copy. I heard rumors that he spent hundreds of dollars for it on eBay. But I must point out that the rumors are not substantiated. I wish I still had the LEO that had a profile of the band. I wonder if Adam still has it. I'll fill you all in on the Nubs at a later date.
Good Night, Good Morning, whatever.

And now to announce the winner of the Photo Caption Contest..... *drumroll*
"...and if I keep squeezing, I turn from green to blue, but then I usually pass out."
by CFD
THERE WILL BE NO RECOUNT!!! I waited for my last reference to the contest to be archived and then I checked the final results. CFD's (Charlie's) caption has been ahead for about a week because people stopped voting and of course because it was pretty funny. Second place was:
"Apparently "Takhomasac" means something entirely different at the Mag Bar than it does at White Castle." by Joey.
Chris F. thought I should add Morphine to the list of bands. Which I agree completely. Even though at the moment I don't think there is any Morphine on the jukebox. But it used to be heard nightly. Chris also mentioned another band. A band I haven't thought of in years. The Nubs. If you know who the Nubs are you are one of those few people that have earned the right to call yourself a regular. I could use it as a litmus test. "Do you know Lila Queen of the Barbeque?"
Do you know Lila Queen of the Barbeque?
Good Night, Good Morning, whatever.

I went and saw Little Nicky today. It was pretty funny but I can only recommend it if you like Adam Sandler. I was surprised by the number of jokes that wouldn't be that funny unless you saw his other movies. Inside jokes. Carl Weathers from Happy Gilmore. Henry Winkler from The Waterboy. Rob Schneider who was in most of Adam Sandler's movies. If you don't like Adam Sandler this is not going to be the movie that changes your mind about him.
Other than that I didn't do a damn thing. I did do some work that I had to finish for my job but other than that I sat around watching TV. I didn't even go out.
Good Night, Good Morning, whatever.

I almost never talk about my family. I don't know why really. I guess its because I don't talk to them everyday like I do a large number of my friends. But I want to share something with all of you. My grandmother used to be Aunt Bee's stunt double. On the Andy Griffith Show, whenever Aunt Bee had to jump a fence or if she was in a car chase my grandmother took her place.
I get along with my family, which is more than I can say for most of the people I know. I have two brothers and my mother. My father died of cancer several years ago. My father died a month before his 51st birthday. Which is why, my 25th birthday was probably my most traumatic birthday. My grandfather died from the same type of cancer so it seems to run in my family. I just kept thinking that my life could be half way over. After a while I realized that I could die at anytime. Cancer or no cancer. I could get hit by a bus or get hit by one of the numerous insane drivers I seem to have been almost running into lately.
Basically, I'm just saying that you need to savor the time you have. I can't say that I have reached the level of savoring every moment like the last but I'm trying. Its like when you have a small bowl of pretzels. Your sitting there watching TV eating your pretzels. After a while you reach into the bowl and its empty. You had ate the last pretzel without knowing it was the last pretzel. You didn't get that "last pretzel" enjoyment. You start searching around in your mouth for pretzel particles but its no use. You can't get that moment back. My goal is to eat every preztel like its the last preztel.
By the way, before you ask me about it. Did you ever see Aunt Bee jump a fence or get in a car chase on the Andy Griffith Show?
Good Night, Good Morning, whatever.

I got a few suggestions from Johnna: Nick Cave, The Cramps and The Clash. Mark mentioned The Misfits. I can't believe I forgot them. I also have five more I came up with myself: Bad Manners, Elvis Costello, Fugazi, Operation Ivy and Screeching Weasel.
So here is the new list:
Nick Cave
The Cramps
The Clash
The Misfits
Bad Manners
Elvis Costello
Fugazi
Operation Ivy
Screeching Weasel
The Pogues
Rancid
Dead Kennedy's
The Pixies
Sugar
Social Distortion
The Ramones
Clutch
Tom Waits
Sunny Day Real Estate
Johnny Cash
Hank Williams Sr.
That's 21 groups or artists. I'm either going to have to make this a double album or spend a lot of time trying to figure out which song from each group or artist I want to put on the CD. I don't know how I'm going to just pick one song from each. For example, I know most of the Ramones songs are almost the same anyway but how do you pick just one.
I was just looking down the list again and I realized that the Mag Bar DOES have the best jukebox in Louisville. It's going to be a bigger job than I thought to distill it all into one CD.
Good Night, I'm heading down to the Mag and do some research.
