Fowx Beer

March 26th, 2006 Dean Posted in Noteworthy, life

No Beer

The conversation went something like this:

Kristian: “I love me some fowx beer.”
Me: “Huh what? Fowx beer?”
Kristian: “Yeah, fowx beer. You know, like root beer. Beer that’s not really beer.”
Me: (thought for two seconds, then) “ROFL! LOL! LMFAO!” *cough* [still getting over bronchitis] “You mean ‘faux’?”
Kristian: “Yeah, fowx, ‘F-A-U-X.’”
Me, Jamie, Christina, you: “Lollerskates!”

And just so Kristian can’t beat me to it, I indeed said “I like thick head” and “It’s so creamy” in reference to Henry Weinhard’s Root Beer. You know you like it too.

Bush Defends Decisions on Iraq War

March 21st, 2006 Dean Posted in Noteworthy, politick 5 Comments »

“I can understand how Americans are worried about whether or not we can win,” Bush said, adding that most Americans want victory “but they’re concerned about whether or not we can win.”

Doesn’t that seem a bit out of touch? Don’t you think that most Americans just want to get the hell out of Iraq, regardless of whether we can claim “victory” or not? Maybe I’m just projecting my views into assumptions of the general population but, in my opinion, the issue isn’t about whether we “win” or not… is it?

Arctic Monkeys - What Ever People Say…

February 16th, 2006 Dean Posted in Noteworthy, music

Arctic Monkeys

I honestly don’t know if I’ve ever heard a band quite like Arctic Monkeys. They could be compared to The Killers, The Strokes, and even Green Day, but those comparisons wouldn’t bring justice to describing the craft of Arctic Monkeys. Simply put, they rock.

Their debut album, What Ever People Say I Am, That’s What I’m Not, is getting rave reviews in the band’s UK homeland, and for good reason. I think it’s gonna be hard for ANY band to top this album this year. I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve listened to this CD - at least 15 times in a row now. That might seem obsessive, and maybe it is, but it’s just that good.

Sierra is Awesome

January 22nd, 2006 Dean Posted in Noteworthy, life

Sierra

Sierra told me a knock-knock joke yesterday. It wasn’t just any knock-knock joke, though; it was a request to get me to do something for her. LOL, it was awesome.

Sierra: “Knock-knock.”
Dean: “Who’s there?”
S: “Kitchen.”
D: “Kitchen who?”
S: “Kitchengo upstairs and get my presents?”

LMAO! Get it? “Kitchengo” = “Couldjago”? LOL! Oh man. Maybe it’s just me, but I thought that was the funniest thing ever. Well, OK, not ever, but it was very funny.

Update: LOL again! Earlier this morning Sierra said, “I think something’s wrong with the TV.” Christina laughed and replied, “No, that’s the Spanish channel.” LOL!
