I went to pick up some pizza this year

No, this isn't the dog doing the writing.

less A, More Q: Will something happen in 2011?

A. Yes

When asking, Does he ever do anything for anyone?

Just remember the Q & A (last post, below) was brought to you by Me.

Q: Are French Fries ever lonely?

A: Not for long.

Hostess Holiday Fruitcake

I like this Fruitcake. It tastes good, but honestly I used to make fruitcake when I was younger and mine (from a recipe) was better. The fruitcake in the picture was fine and some of it is still in the refrigerator, so I think I'll have a small piece of it now. Bye.

I love Fruitcake

We ate fruitcake before Christmas!

Totally hot, and cold too

Our beautiful dog was elegant in (over) the wiener dog shadow a year ago. This is not a dress, but designers will owe me big time if they rip off the dress, I mean if they rip off the idea for the wiener dog shadow dress. You knew what I meant.

The Oh-No's, Decade of Wienners remembered

There were lots of wienners -- not winners -- in the '00s decade.

This really is fitting, and that's because of all the 'wienners' in the '00s decade, which I'm affectionately calling the 'Oh-No's' in this pOHst. Just remember, don't blame us regular folks because we're way cool, right?! And, what's more, we weren't the ones who caused the big problems on the planet. I decided I'm not going to write about much about unsavory bad stuff in the world because that's no fun! All I know is that a number of professional baseball home run hitters, some business leaders, and as we have become accustomed to many political leaders were wienners, not winners in the Oh-No's. They tried to make us all want to believe in becoming a 'winner' but they showed us that many winners aren't really that at all.

This isn't a real commentary, but it's not a fake one either. I don't want to get too serious and ruin my reputation for goofing off, which is what I like to do when hanging out and eating fast food.

Note: I guess wieners is how most people spell it but in this case I want it to be 'wienners' to say they weren't real winners because of them telling lies and cheating. I hope those we admire and look up to will do better.

I am not a sitcom character

Please check out my music blog. I chose to call it The Overcast Inside. Maybe the name "The Overcast Inside" sounds like it could be a very strange and long song or medley with an interesting mixture of grunge and progressive rock, and that's just fine with me.

I like to think of it as a nice place where everyone can hang out. But nobody has to know your name. I think that was on the sitcom Cheers where they all knew their names or something like that but I'm not sure about the customers who left at closing time. Maybe they forgot the names, or just mispronounced them.

Also, what about all the extras, you know the ones just seated at tables, those actors who didn't have any (or not many) lines. I mean, did they know all the names too? I think I missed that episode where Cliff and Norm (two cool guys, I mean TV sitcom characters) went around the bar and named every one. I mean did they go up to each and every person, and say out loud the actors names and their characters names. I think that would have been a classic episode.

Maybe it happened, but I don't recall seeing that one. Perhaps it was two episodes, because to please me they would have to get every name right. All I remember that was significant to me about that TV show was when the series ended, the girl I used to talk with on the phone in the evening who told me she had to get off the phone to watch the sitcom, wound up marrying someone else. That was later, well not later that evening but you know what I am saying. That was fine with me. I guess I'm just not funny enough though I'll survive it. I can't compare with the legends, but I do know there's hope, out there somewhere, wait I think it's truth not hope that's out there. But there wasn't too much truth in the '00s decade. I'll try to give it some more thought-- not too much thought-- and post something on this subject.

Do I have any special Christmas traditions?

That I came up with just to keep boredom away from me? Well, I really ought to because I get bored sometimes. But actually it's more like me being discouraged because of change. Now don't get me wrong, I'd like change if the change was what I wanted it to be. Usually change is bad because it means losing old relationships (not sexual ones, I don't talk about sex here LOL) and losing friends and needing to find new friends, or fantasies that my friends all wear the newest bikini (well, actually each one has a bikini) and they nice long (or short) pretty hair. And they don't read what I write about fast food, or at least they don't get too encouraged to eat too much food because it's almost Spring. No, there's been snow for more than a month, but it's just barely winter, and by barely, I wasn't making any subtle references to really anything. What I was getting to is, I don't mind the new fashions. I mean, have you been watching the Lady Gaga videos. If not, then I guess I've found the one person who didn't yet. Okay, now (10 minutes later) you have, but I'm not a Lady Gaga promoter. I prefer Madonna and she's still hot and all! But that has nothing to do with whether I have special Christmas traditions to avoid boredom. Well, I try to eat some new foods now and then and sometimes it happens around Christmas! I know that's not very sexy, but this is a food blog, of course with the kinds of things you might here guys talking about if you really wanted to hear guys talking, for example when they are eating fast food, but maybe it's best that you don't listen to such talk. Oh, you already read my blog from start to finish, alright then stick around. Thanks for swinging by. I meant that in a very moral, upstanding way.

Because I said

Guess what I put in the Halo-Halo, this close-up shot is better. Although some the dessert is difficult to see without special halo-halo glasses which would also help people at church potlucks, to know ahead of time what is in "THIS", as in when a nice, sweet, little old lady asks you, honey would you like some of THIS!. If you have the glasses on, then you might make a more informed decision. Sorry, I haven't invented those glasses yet. I should fit being an inventor into my schedule because I want to go back to potlucks. There could be some hot chicks at those potlucks, but more likely I would find fried chicken from KFC, or somewhere else, and that's almost as good as going to a bikini beach. Well no, nothing is that good.

Halwa-Halo, or Halo-Halo plus

I added two large spoonfuls of my improvised halwa, which I made to taste a little sweet but more salty because I like the way it tastes with sweet ice cream. Try to figure out the other ingredients I put in this halo-halo dessert. I just finished eating about an hour ago and now it's almost midnight. Hmm...what should I eat next? No, I think I'll stop for now. But I look forward to later!

The moon wasn't as

funny as I thought it would be. Well no, actually I knew it wouldn't be funny, nor was it supposed to be. However, I am not an astronomer, a scienist, nor am I a sci-fientist. Better to be a scottist. So then, if you really think it's a good idea?! (well, it ain't), but you can still be like me, although I wouldn't, if I were you that is, but I'm me, so that's why I wanna be like me. Gosh, that was hard to explain. Anyway, don't be like me, but if you wanna be me late at night, when nobody is around and they can't see you being like me, then go outside on a dark, cold night/early morning set the digital camera to video, point it up and start videotaping the starlit sky, and of course narrate what you are seeing up there. Maybe the neighbors will shoot off fireworks, and you might here creepy sounds coming from the garage, and start wondering whether space aliens are videotaping you, trying to videotape them in their flying saucer. One of them could even come up, tap you on the shoulder, and ask you to dance. Just don't look at Mr. Alien the way some girls used to look at me when I walked around the dance floor asking a pretty girl to dance. My guess is you don't want to reject them. And their camera has some other settings, and you never know what they might do once they learn how to blog. Yeah, like umm... imagination required.

NotE: This was before and on the way to the full eclipse and I was full of it. By it, I don't don't mean anything bad. Just like to joke around a lot.

Let me see

What is this? Let me use the flashlight and find out. Oh yeah, it's fast food, and that's right I just went through the drive-thru and because I was hungry for late dinner. Where am I? Oh I think some of you guessed Jack in the Box. This was after midnight early Saturday AM and not many people out.

Quite simply one of the best milk shakes

I like this shake flavor. This is a large Bubblegum Milk Shake from Wheeler's Handout in Nampa, Idaho. It was $3.70 but it's a thick shake and gives me some extended happiness of more than a hour.

Tuesday, I ordered this milk shake again (not pictured, and the photo is from about a week earlier), then we drove to Macy's department store to do Christmas shopping, though we were looking to get some ideas, and when I got tired I came out to the vehicle and drank more of the shake. I will have more on this shake another time.

Oven dried bread

This was another time (before) when I dried pieces of bread in the oven, just to prove I really did it. Dried bread feels better in my stomach than bread or toast, although I do like toast with butter.

This should be a fast food

This is my own sage stuffing. I made it this week, almost a week after Thanksgiving, so we just can't get too much of a good thing. It's delicious. It has a somewhat dark green color because I used fresh sage leaves which were dried in the oven and I rubbed it between my fingers into a fluffy powder to mix with other dry ingredients.
The bread crumbs are what I made first by drying pieces of bread in the oven.
There were some other steps to my recipe, but I'm sure all you cooks can figure it out. Anyway, the stuffing spends time in the oven at the end, and just like TV cooking show magic, it's done before anyone can start pounding their silverware on the table and demand to eat, right away!

Y

is for Yummy!

First time, share!

Then keep the other half of pie for yourself. A slice of pecan pie is great for breakfast.

It's all gone now, so I'm going to have to find a new sugar high.

A slice a morning

keeps my unhappiness away. It was all gone by this morning.

It's much better to Spin in than spin out

I'm going to to watch music videos and listen to the songs, also maybe catch up on new songs on the radio today rather than go out. It's been snowing and it's not safe to drive around and I was just told that cars were sliding around on the road. I wanted to do my after Thanksgiving LOOKING two days after Thanksgiving Day instead of going to the SHOPPING the day after Thanksgiving Day like just everybody else. Yesterday, the roads were clear but I was too tired because I ate too much turkey ETC. on Thanksgiving Day.

Today's word is "spin" and it's really the key word in The Overcast Inside -- my music blog -- for the four days from Thanksgiving (Thursday) to Sunday. So I'm going over there and "spin in". Featured are three of my favorite songs of 2010. I will go into more detail there this weekend. I don't own the rights to the songs, the videos, or any content with them. I write my reviews and opinion along with those videos by using "share" on YouTube, with the goal of showing that the songs reviewed or mentioned in my writing are very good songs, and many of the songs are among the best of all time. I want to continue to encourage people to buy albums, CDs, singles by download, go to concerts.

Thanksgiving scene

This was the view, and where were you? Oh that's right, I didn't invite you but that's only because you probably live in another state or country. Although you are with me in thought, even though I don't know you. That's because I'm thankful you decided to drop by my blog. I wish all my readers the best in their lives, much success and happiness the rest of this year and always!

McTouchdown!

When I went to a McDonald's near the Space Needle in Seattle, Washington three years ago, I had iced coffee one day and the Arctic Orange Shake on a different day. Both were great as was the atmosphere in this McDonald's restaurant.

Learn guitar and how to sing and one day you could have candy with your name on it

 
I don't usually review or write about candy, but I wanted to try these Special Edition M&M's. (October of last year) The reason was I bought some other M&M's that cost too much to eat. So I wanted to have some candy that wouldn't make me feel sad about eating it. haha Yeah, it does sound kind of funny.

This is "Strawberried Peanut Butter" M&M's. It tastes okay to me but I like the regular M&M's better. I have no connection to M&M's or any candy, or food products unless I say so, nor do I have a connection to the rock group KISS. I say this because yesterday evening (as I already pointed out this was last year), I went to the local Walmart superstore where they are selling some KISS memorabilia and novelty items including KISS M&M's. One pretty worker there wanted to hold my newly purchased KISS M&M's, and I let her.

It was too much at $6 a bag and workers said it wasn't selling so Walmart was reducing the price to 2 bags for $6. So I got it at that nice price. Their recommendation to me was maybe I should just look at the candy because it would be worth a lot someday. I agree but it might take until KISS stops and doesn't come back again, until people miss them enough to buy this old candy.

Oh yeah, I also have no connection to getting older. That part's not true. But what I can say is age doesn't matter, so let's continue to listen to all music that makes us feel good.

The Simpsons - Donut Hell

Funny stuff!

Today's SirMan: KISS m&m's get saved, plus devilish cartoon donuts, and Alice (video) goes to The Overcast Inside

 

It was a year ago that I bought these M&M's and didn't open 'em so that means I'm a candy collector. Not really, I'll explain...

Sometime, but first I want to see Homer Simpson go to "Donut Hell" which I've seen before and it never gets old. In my opinion, it's Heaven that has the donuts, but I'm not an expert on the afterlife. I just know that I like to eat donuts.

Also, the famous shock-rock star Alice Cooper is back... as a Christian, and I'm sure it's not just a Halloween costumer because it was in a video from earlier this year, which I'll try to post on The Overcast Inside. That's another blog I created to write about rock songs, from past to present day.

ROCK music has a way of setting us free...from the dark clouds in our lives. I love rock music... it's not the same as having a girlfriend but it never breaks up with me, and it's always there to take my mind off the sad stuff in life. Please support these bands, musicians, singers, etc. and buy their albums and purchase downloads of their singles, and also go to their concerts.

Do Not download the songs or videos, it's strictly for the purpose of supporting my opinion. Let me make it clear, I do not upload music videos on YouTube and by this I mean I don't put those videos on YouTube. I do not download songs or videos to a computer and I do buy CDs and have bought several in '09 and '10 so I'm asking readers to do the same thing.

The copyrights of songs, all music, lyrics and artwork related to the music or videos, the videos, written materials are the property of their owners. The opinion on my blog is my own and I did take a lot of time to think about many, many songs and which songs are deserving to be in my list of 100 Best Rock Songs. There are rock songs, hard-rock, medium, and soft-rock, metal, punk, progressive rock, pop-rock, and some other songs, also a few songs crossing over from what might be thought of as other music genres. Actually, it's taken a year and a half with a little time each day devoted to listening and comparing songs. I'm still giving a bit more time to complete the list to hear bands that some music critics, radio stations, and anyone else 'high and mighty' who didn't give those bands a real chance to show how good or great they are and that's sad.

You will see comments in YouTube by individuals who are mean, nasty and don't think before they write something, but I'm not one of those people. I'm not commenting in YouTube at this time. Besides, I'm fair, I did my best to consider the songs of many bands, solo artists and musicians. Sure, I'm going to forget or miss a few great songs and can't listen to every song, but neither can anyone else. I'm not being paid to do this list but I like it. Liking something is always important to me. Hopefully it is to you too.

And one more thing, Alice Cooper and KISS will have songs on my 100 Best Rock Songs list, along with songs by many other bands. Cool and hot!!

The Overcast Inside

Here's the link to (click) The Overcast Inside

Laugh from the past

 
In the FM-Me-Me-ture, oh I mean future, I join a band called formal three-piece confusion. We wear ties, but never sports coats, just casual jackets, thus creating a little confusion. Well, that and the really big, (fake) leafy, green hair. That oughta do it. I'm sure chicks will dig us...up. haha

Anyway, joking aside, this was a picture of me, about two years ago when I was in Portland, which is where I hope to go very soon. Don't worry, I'm not going to do a time progression of how I look standing under that tree every year I'm there. Actually, my head wasn't very close to that tree but it is a strange picture and even sort of cute looking for a guy who was still recovering from being sick and feeling like a zombie. Hey, it's almost Halloween, nearly five years since I began blogging...I plan to post some of my pictures during those five years, and maybe a few before that time, and remember the '00s decade while I'm at it.

At the same time, I will also continue to write about shakes and see if I can decide which one was best. And continue to mention something new and interesting, or old and not so interesting. But that's up to me. haha

Now tell me I don't say

From Anything

here! haha

As you know, sometimes my writing style is like a guy talking with his buddies while they are at the local burger joint. It's intended to be that way. And Fun!

Yes, please click on the photo to find the missing word for today.

Now tell me I don't say anything here!

(That's the way it's supposed to read.)

Cheeseburger Baby - VME

This is the band I would most like to eat fast food with, if I go to Japan or if they come to America again. And of course I'd like to go to one of their concerts.

This is the video with the song "Cheeseburger Baby" by Voluntary Mother Earth.

It is one of my favorite music videos of 2010, and the song is very happy and a lot of fun.

Great work, Voluntary Mother Earth!

Please click on the photo below to see the entire photo. Due to computer problems, I had to post my photo from my public photos in Picasa, and this photo didn't fit. Have a good weekend!!

Yeah man, it's Friday!

Here's a photo of mine from last year. I usually go to McDonald's (in the background) more often, due to my grungeit, I mean budget. But here (pictured) I went to Jolts & Juice and yeaaaaah, maaaaannn I need to go back there more too. Note: Didn't the '00s decade seem like one very long yeah, man, or rather a long yawn?! A philosopher might ask, umm are we really moving at all? Which is a good question, but if we aren't in motion, then why is there espresso, to stay in place faster? What a question, maybe I need to get out more. haha

I Shake, You Shake, Let's Shake Together (well, in different parts of the planet, of course)

Here is an Arby's Strawberry Banana Split Shake. It was good that night and I had another one this afternoon. Enough said. Well, it's best at night when I don't have a date, but there's another shake I prefer on those afternoons when I also don't have a date, and I wish had two...a pretty girls under each arm. And we're really having fun... I think we are heading to church. Hey, how did you think this would end? haha

Strange light shining down on my shake

This was one time late at night that I went to Arby's, and after going through the drive-thru, pulled in to sip the shake. Thank goodness I had a flashlight or I would have needed help from a full-lying soso-er, or just a regular flying saucer, or anything landing in the parking lot at just the right time. That, or turn on the overhead light, but I'm too lazy. Not really, though it is more interesting to act dumb as a writer. Too many pompous jerks out there. I'm not one. Keep being the Being that you are. In!

Next time I'll name that shake! Whew! See, if I'd written "Out!" I would have felt silly coming back and continuing to write but I wrote "In!" ... and I just wanted to point that out.

Great Shake at Carl's Jr.

This is the Banana Chocolate Chip Shake by Carl's Jr. The fact that I can't remember which time this was is proof that it's a very good tasting shake. Well, I'm saying I've had it several times this year so clearly it's a contender for best shake by a fast food restaurant. There are others but I'll save that for another day. I'll also write more about this shake later.

Friday Night at the Drive-Thru

This is the Jack in the Box Teriyaki Bowl with Grilled Chicken. I think it tastes great! I've eaten this food several times at various JITB restaurants, but I don't order the full meal because it's too much food for me to eat (and couldn't quite finish what I was eating this time) in one sitting. I went through the drive-thru and parked out front to dine in the vehicle so I could listen to music I wanted to hear.

The last time I tried to order the teriyaki bowl at this particular Jack in the Box restaurant, they told me that they couldn't make the teriyaki because the rice cooker was broken... so anyway, I didn't have high hopes on Friday when I entered the drive-thru but I did get what I wanted, so I was happy. Well, the girl handing me the food smiled and that was pretty good too! Just being honest. haha

A bit later I drove to Carl's Jr. and drank a shake. I will try to post that photo.

Last time I wrote about a Wendy's Frosty Shake that I drank at a Wendy's restaurant. Thank you, Mizarwen, for asking me what was the flavor of that shake? The flavor was Chocolate Fudge. I want to congratulate you on two years of your blog and if you were here, I'd buy you a shake (your choice of flavor, of course). Thanks for viewing my blog so many times. I always enjoy your blog. It's great!

Scott

Yesterday's Shake

This is a picture of the Wendy's Frosty Shake I drank yesterday. Not bad and actually alright, though it was not a thick shake and it wasn't cold enough, in my opinion.

Sweet & Tart!!

Here's a picture of my red currant syrup, on top of and all around a pancake. I made the syrup.

Hello. Thanks for dropping by and viewing my blog. I now notice in the video there are English subtitles for the Spanish part of "L'Via L'Viaquez" by The Mars Volta.
You can view that video/listen to the song by clicking the link in the post below this one. The video is LOUD at the beginning, so please turn down the volume on your speakers ahead of time.

Take care.

The Mars Volta rocks out!! (careful: LOUD at beginning of the song)...and secures a spot in the 100 Best Rock Songs

Here's a link to The Mars Volta video for their song "L'Via L'Viaquez" (LOUD when clicked) ... and it's a great video! Almost like a very interesting and beautiful nightmare, with the band performing one of the best songs ever. It's going to be in my list of 100 Best Rock Songs when I post it.

I can't remember ever having a nightmare with a great rock song playing (or you know, dreaming there was a great song playing), but maybe I just forgot the next morning.

Note: I didn't upload this video or any music videos to YouTube, and at this time I don't comment on videos in YouTube. Please show respect for the individual music artists, bands, their songs, videos, and their fans. We can disagree but let's be polite about it.

I watched this video for the first time recently, months after hearing two versions of the song (the longer album version, which is about 12 minutes long but terrific, and the equally wonderful single version) before making my decision that it was one of the 25 best songs of the '00s. And I was right too! I know many people out there agree with me.

There's much to be discussed about the song, and I did read in one discussion thread where they couldn't agree on the meaning of some Spanish words in the song, which has English and Spanish lyrics.

In my opinion, we don't always have to know the complete meaning of a song and worrying about it could produce a really scary nightmare, without a great soundtrack to help us get through it.

If I can think of anything to add, I will do it later. Take care.

(Pizza) Party on!

This is a better photo, so beings that I'm such a nice guy, check out that yummy Domino's pizza. I'm not connected to Domino's Pizza, though sometimes the pizza gets a little too connected to me, if ya know what I mean.

It almost makes me wish I were back in college... Well, that and the college girls. Like I said before, if only I had a string bikini theory that would take me to a parallel university with hot chicks in bikinis who actually liked me, then, maybe, I'd have it made.

Now, if modern physics just thought a little more like I do, we would all (of us guys) be better off. haha

Are we going to be tempted? And if not, Why not?

As promised this is the Before Pizza smile. If I didn't know better, I'd say it's best to keep it way up high.



This is an After Pizza smile.

Well, we (the people) ate most of the pizza and she tasted some but she's cuter than us, mere humans and that's why she's in the pictures.

Peek-a-boo, it's a Domino's Pizza

Well, I think on the box it says (if you squint, or click to enlarge the pic) something about a refund, and actually I'd like my money back so I could buy the same pizza again. Ok just kidding. We would buy it again with our own money. It was a very good tasting pizza! I even ate a piece of pizza right from the fridge for breakfast, and the last slice for the second part of my dinner. Well, I didn't eat much earlier today, so quit giving me the funny looks. I be back. How can I say out if I don't eat my piece! Or whatever.

You like shallow, umm I can be shallow TOO

Well, I won't be too deep or put forth any profound theories, like my S.B.T. of P.U.ties otherwise known as String Bikini Theory of Parallel Universities. Don't ask me what the football teams are like at those U's because I don't care. I'm in this super shallow physics for the chicks. I just wanna know if there are universities with pretty girls who like to wear bikinis and dig my shallow physics and enjoy some lip action now and then. Eating fast food with me, of course, and ETC.

There could be more, such as kick-ass rock songs that some of you didn't know I knew. And it's gonna be the best ever, or going back to just before 1970 when life as we know it began to sprout. Sorry for the corny health-food reference. I love it, actually, but you can hang on to all the crunchy granola, though real men like me do eat yogurt from time to time, and not just because girls will trust us.

We can't gain their trust and maybe we don't deserve it anyway, so let's focus on something worth thinking about...the shallow physics of bikini curves. How integral... no, not integrity, but I got that too somewhere, maybe it's under the bed. Peace! Beach fantasy! Out!

Next time, we'll add new definition to the term 'pizza smile' and how we love to smile for our pizza! Next time will be in a few minutes. There will be a BP smile and an AP smile, which in this case stand for "Before Pizza" and "After Pizza". Yeah, I'm dishing it out! Slice by slice, pure me and that's cool! No, I didn't say I'm pure. But I am nice and not too demanding which is more than I can say for some people. Oh yeah, bye.

Shake from Arctic Circle

 
This is a caramel shake, in case you couldn't tell. Nice flavor, very thick, and really a shake to be eaten with a spoon.

I have decided to go with the version and spelling of the Slipknot song "Vermillion". There is more than one version of the song. I like all the versions I've heard, including the album version (with one 'l') and its longer guitar solo, and the radio single which I listened to many times while driving around to various places.

Slipknot's song "Vermillion" gets in 100 Best Rock Songs

 
Since I'm unable to sign in to my blogs the usual way, I've posted again from Picasa, this time using one of my old photos.

Paul Gray, Slipknot bassist, passed away in May, and he will be missed by his (and the band's) many, many fans worldwide. Slipknot's songs are always great to hear on the radio when I'm out and driving around, especially on a Friday night. "Vermillion" is one of my favorite metal/heavy-rock songs from the '00s and it will be in my list of 100 Best Rock Songs.

Here's a link to Slipknot's "Vermillion" video on YouTube.
