Talking Food Again...

mmsm.bmp

So In Febraury we headed to Atlanta to do nothing but gorge ourself on a Good Brazilian meal. Why do I say gorge? Well basically because ... thats what they plead for you to do. There are these people walking around with skewers of lamb chops, prime rib, chicken wrapped in bacon (mmm... chicken wrapped in bacon... lamb chops... prim.e.... sorry started day dreaming). Anyways, its quiet the experience.

They encourage you to visit the salad bar but warn you to go easy on it to save your appetite.... after a few heart of palms.. the meat starts coming... and it is at this point I realized maybe i'm really Brazilian? These people love meat.. and I being raised on a Beef Farm.. well I do to. You have this little disk if you have it flipped over green (green means go...) they keep piling meat on your plate... all kinds...

But plan not to eat a few days before you go to counter the $50 price tag.

But wow.. you'll enjoy it for a long time...

...but then again with our new resolve at the DC this summer.. maybe no one will return to these fine establishments?

Bask in the memories ... (The place where Tremain ate Beef)

So if you go... take your wheelchair... chances are you won't be able to walk out...

Quote Wednesday

-I watched the original first star wars again yesterday. It makes a lot more sense now that they made the first three film. That was a stupid idea, make the middle of the films first.

A Bad Eyedea

OK so I'm looking the other day for coupons for glasses... time to update my high school glasses.... Ha yes wore glasses since 7th grade, and yet I’ve only ever had two pair of glasses...

Anyways in my search I run across A Lasik At home site. Now maybe I’m just a cautious person (yes I hear the laughter from the audience). But this just seems like a bad Idea. And the great picture they have just builds no confidence for me either. First off the first image shows the guy kinda looking like... let me hide while I try this, don't want anyone to know I’m this stupid. The picture of the laser in the eye.. and the possible burning your face... And by the last picture, wow.. the guy for sure must not be able to see.. why look.. he's standing right next to a target.. now if he could see he'd know he's in a real dangerous situation.. and is that a picture of him crying on someone’s shoulder in the picture below?... because he can't even see the movie.. much less the subtitles. (Or did his large shriek of pain also affect his hearing and thus he needs subtitles now..?)

Whatever the case.. I can't say I recommend trying this (Ha and as the foot note states... neither does the FDA).

But back on glasses email me your pictures of the worst glasses you had back in the day.. we'll have a competition coming to all entries.

Cool Views of Space

shutz.jpg

Well this last shuttle flight was a success. The camera system, which I have been helping design and test for the last 3 years, flew on this flight. The results were amazing, and have been all around the international press. (Its funny non US news seems more interested in the shuttle program often.

Anyways, the resulting shots of the Shuttle were amazing. We couldn't have directed a better film. The video shows the view from the solid rocket boosters from launch to separation to splash down

You can watch the videos Here on NASA.gov. Look under the STS-121 Solid Rocket Boosters Videos section.

Enjoy

Creative Writing Thursday

The hands of time hold us with care.

Oh if time was not a cost
If times that pass were never lost

If things which come to us each day
Would not slip through – fall away

If activity did not hold the grains of time
Then forever would remain to shine

But time is reality so we must admit
To the hands of acknowledgement always submit

But in the reality of all these grand schemes
Forever keeps happiness - knowing these things

For the hour may be late the words may be flowing
But it is to bed that we must now be going

But tomorrow will bring another day
Of what will be happy blissful eternity.

And while it may be that times have passed
Again again it will always last

To create recreate experience again
Its never thinking of what was then

For a greater joy is what comes now.
Even if to reality we must submissively bow.

pringlesjokeshahahah.jpg

So this week I bought a can of pringles to quickly return it and pick up the can that said new. Now granted I'm not a huge fan of pringles. (They used to make me sick). But these were unique.. they had jokes printed on each chip...

Seems this was invinted in 2004, but its the first time i've seen it.

What better way to slow you down when eating them than this. Or is it you keep eating them to read more jokes?

Either way... I have a ton of new jokes which i won't remember past tomorrow.

Why did the man go out with a rasin?
