iPhone in Vermont mid-January

I’ll believe it once I see it. They’ve said this so many times they’ve become the boy who cries wolf.

UPDATE: Supposedly, sales on the iPhone will begin Monday, January 12th.

Marriage proposal in the snow

This is adorable.

Taking advantage of a recent snowstom in Long Island, NY, a guy proposed to his girlfriend by writing “Will you marry me?” on all the windows of the cars in their driveway. Of course, she said yes. So cute.

My “must see” Christmas movies

These are the movies I have to watch around Christmas:

• A Christmas Story
• The Muppet Christmas Carol
• The Bishop’s Wife
• A Charlie Brown Christmas
• A Garfield Christmas Special
• Elf
• The Nightmare Before Christmas
• National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation
• Home Alone
• Shrek the Halls

I have too many movies on this list, and not enough time in my life to watch them all. Stupid responsibilities.

“Those icicles have been known to kill people!”

Behind my office. Yikes.

Cheney thinks Leahy deserved it

Does anyone else remember this?: 

Vice President Dick Cheney said Sunday that Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vermont, deserved it when Cheney launched the f-word at him in 2004.

In an interview with “Fox News Sunday,” Cheney was asked if he had any second thoughts or embarrassment. “No. I thought he merited it at the time,” Cheney said, laughing.

The incident occurred in June 2004 when both Cheney and Leahy were on the Senate floor.

Sources who related the incident to CNN at the time said the vice president had told Leahy to either “f— off” or “go f— yourself.” 

How could you swear at Leahy? He was in The Dark Knight and Batman and Robin. C’moooooooon.

Side note: Leahy has spent 34 years (half of his life) in office. He’s going to beat the record set by the late George Aiken this week for the longest term in office as Vermont Senator. Leahy will serve his 12,413th day Saturday.

Let’s all become looters.

“A Meal to Die For”

“From the moment you walk in the place, you can almost feel your arteries hardening.”

This is obviously a fantastic way to encourage people NOT to kill themselves through obesity. Food that was literally kill you if you eat it more than once (or maybe even just once), scantily-clad waitresses (AKA: “nurses”) and encouraging your clientel (“patients”) to eat so much they “get” to be wheeled out of the restaurant in a wheelchair. Intelligent business model FAIL.  Keep in mind I’m not saying it’s not profitable. The owner, Jon Basso, is at least an honest man. He admits that his food could kill you, that he ONLY features unhealthy meal options, and that all he cares about it making money. Someday someone is going to try to sue him… and it’s just going to remind me of that Family Guy episode where Peter wins free hamburgers for life and has a stroke. It’s gonna happen.

Check out the website here. I do like the “Kill a Friend” link.

I feel naseuous…

This is how I feel.
