Holy Crap ! Close to 400 people on the current guest list . I can already see that this is going to be a battle to finish this thing during the week. More on the battle of the guest list...hit the link.

And the winner for taking something simple and fun and turning it into a political agenda(again) is....PETA! Check the jump for a preview of the game.

During yesterdays Packer's game there was a kickoff return that they wouldn't replay because of the on field injury of Vikings player Charles Gordon. As per usual being the upstanding citizens that Joe Buck and Troy Aikmen are in the booth they decided not to replay the video of the injury. After rewinding the TIVO we still couldn't see anything that would make you think it was as bad as those two guys made it out to be. Low and behold though Deadspin had a link with a different camera angle that "popped" up. I didn't think it was that bad but you can judge for yourself . Full video after the jump.

No matter where you live (or have lived) chances are you have been somewhere where your idea of what a Soda (or pop) is called something different. I call it soda and my fiance has been know to call it pop at one time or another. Regardless it is interesting to see what the rest of the country calls their beverages. Full map after the jump.

Video after the jump More on possibly the physics on this and the trade to the J-E-T-S.

Sometimes when holidays like Father's Day approaches you find yourself at a place where you feel out of place . Maybe it was just the mood I was in , or perhaps it was something that was bothering me . When I was out today looking for a Father's Day card and breezing through the selection I noticed that there wasn't much there that I could relate to ... My dad wasn't one to sit down and build something, play catch , or anything that I can distinctly remember. So when I'm looking at cards that poke fun at life situations with "Dad" it's almost like I am sucked into a bizarro world in which I have no idea where I am. Much the same feeling that I get when sitting down for a "family dinner" with friends or my fiance's family. This isn't to say that I don't cherish the time that I have spent with my dad at ballgames or whatever. Rather it's a true realization that A) my memory is horrible or B) I didn't spend a lot of quality time with my dad. I tend to think that it's "B". Regardless the greeting ...

With the normal frenetic pace in the office taking hold , my lunch break was bypassed . Around 1pm my stomach started to growl and I knew it was time for the lonely trip to the public vending machines. As I walked back to my office all I could do is sigh as I looked at my vending bounty of a bag of Friday's Potato Skins and a can of Mountain Dew. Man sometimes my diet is terrible .

I updated the map to display all of the locations through the end of this week. So far it looks as though I will have over 2200 miles driven and approximately a day and a half of driving . I'll expand on this later on today (hopefully). View Larger Map

I forgot that in Port Angeles there was a Transgender convention : http://www.espritconf.com/ UPDATE: Also in Helena there was a semi - huge AA convention . Judging from the size if the convention there are a lot of recovering alcoholics in the state of Montana...
