I was looking through a directory of vanity plates today and I was inspired to check if they are available in Virginia. I have to give it to the people at the DMV their website catches mostly all of the offensive ones, even the backwards ones. 3MTA3 being my favorite… think about it…there you go! I have MARK540 on my truck and I was thinking of getting that transfered to the Scion. But maybe it’s time to go with something new. Something nerdier, or cooler? The ones that I though of in the last 20 minutes sitting here are UZTHE4C , HALOTWO, 5FOUR0, NTELNSYD, or … FIGNUTS! I really really want Fignuts, cause it is also my xbox live ID. But there is no way that the DMV would ever let something that obvious slip through. Though they did let Richie get FUGGGLY so there’s always a chance. But it specifically states in the rules that the plate “may not describe intimate areas or genitals”… I would never do that I just love Newtons!

Do you ever just see something that makes you realize how stupid you were as a kid? This is a post about this guy finding a pinball machine in the street and how excited he was about it because it’s a really valuable collectors item. Wow, that’s something I really want to hear. Why you ask? I know I’ve seen this somewhere… but where… OHHHH that’s right it was right next to my freakin bunk beds in my room as a kid. BUT! I apparently had no concept of taking care of things when I was younger. So I may have painted the playing field a different color… I thought I was making things better, BETTER I tell you. So everytime I see that I’ve disgraced on of the most sought after machines in Pinball history, I cringe a little. But hey, it’s alright it’s just a little paint. And it is an Elton John pinball machine for pete’s sake

I really should comment on things the day they happen. But I’m a little slow. James “Scotty” Doohan died the other day. I’m going to reveal a little of my geeky side right now. So don’t think less of me. Now I know that I’m usually a Star Wars nerd and that Trekkies are bound for the 7th circle of hell, but I’ve always had a special place for “Scotty”
I like the term “pulling a Scotty” where you tell someone that it will take twice as long as you think it actually will, so that when you finish fast you seem like a miracle worker. Not only was he a really cool character but apparently he was also a really good guy. Some things I have learned from reading stories on the interwebs. He was on the beach on D-Day for god’s sake, and took 5 machine gun bullets for his trouble. He was once described as “the crasiest pilot in the Canadian Air Force”. His wife also had a baby in 2000… when he was 80. You were a man’s man Montgomery Scott. Godspeed.

Vienna Square Garden or VSG was established in July 2005 and will soon be the home of THE WORLDS MOST AWESOME BEERPONG TABLE muahahahahah. We spent most of Sunday working on our new beerpong table, to replace the closet door we currently play on. VSG is located above Draft Bastards II : The Vienna Sausage. Which is our bar in the basement featuring Miller Lite on tap and currently 6… no 5 cases of Guinness and enough Irish Cream to match. Since Greg and Charlie didn’t have to work until noon, and I am a professional Zombie in the morning we decided to do carbombs and play some officially sanctioned beerpong. It was a good time, the games lasted forever, not because we couldn’t hit the broad side of a barn, bur because both games went into double overtime. With massive comebacks on both sides. Charlie and I forced overtime with a 4 cup rebuttal, only to go into double overtime when Jesse hit a last chance rebuttal in the overtime. Unfortunately we did end up losing. Then it happened AGAIN the next game, but the roles were reversed as Jesse couldn’t be stopped and hit 3 cups in a row on the rebuttal. Same result though, we still lost. I’d have to say that Greg was not his usual MVP self but Jesse came alive to carry the team. Charlie was making shots at opportune times, and once I got my pre shot ritual down I hit 5 out of 6 throws during one stretch. Cant wait for the new table… via BeerPong

Lifting the lid of the toilet and finding that the chocholate thunder has been stewing in there all day… Yeah that didnt’t happen today, but it feels about right. We’ve been having some of the most competitive rounds of BP ever tonight. The results making me wish that we had finished the table on sunday. But I must seep now. See you tomorrow. Night

It always happens this way, right when I start to believe that inspiration has passed me by and I can’t think of anything to draw/create, it hits me like an avalanche. I have been working on a project for Jenn for about 2 months now, slowly, slowly making things happen. Then we start to build this beerpong table, then I decide to build a light to go over the bar, then I get all these design ideas in my head. So now the magnet has swung in the opposite direction and I don’t have enough time to put down all these ideas. And also I’m drawn to them when I should be working. (kinda like right now) But luckily they come fast and look good on the first try so I can get them out of there and make room for more. via Inside my own brain
