Karl A. Kilgore and Associates Lauds Matrimonially Inclined

Karl A. Kilgore and Associates congratulates two couples on their impending matrimony, Faith and Matt, and Abigial and Matt. The former couple recently released the details of their ceremony in a movie-themed web site. The second couple's news broke on Ceil's blog this past week.

Karl Kilgore predicted that these would be highly successful endeavours, "Judging by the choice the Brides-to-Be made regarding the names of their future husbands, there is virtually no way this could go wrong. It just matches the trend of all persons named Matt being awesome, empirically speaking."

More Thoughts

A lot of people think that Barack Obama is not ready to be President, but he really has the potential to be the best Chief Executive since David Palmer.

Speaking of which, Hillary is in now. She might be the best feminine candidate since John Edwards.

And there are lot of other contenders, like John McCain, whom I can't talk about due to free speech restrictions regarding campaigns.

Should be an interesting year...

The problem isn't merely that I see life as a joke, it's more that I see life as a pun, you know? And it's someone else's pun, so that makes it the worst joke possible. Like life itself.

Quick Book Recommendation

I listened to John Grisham's book, Bleachers on audio book and really liked it. It has nothing to do with legal thrillers, it is just a story about a small town with a passion for football (much like the International City or Friday Night Lights), and a legendary coach who is dying. As he is dying, some ex-players keep vigil at the old playing field and remember old stories about their glory days.

I got mine from the Cracker Barrell audio book program... check it out some time.

The Year is New

This morning at 12:00am, I saw the big peach drop in Atlanta symbolizing that a new year was upon us. We watched a movie last night called Little Miss Sunshine, which was pretty entertaining.

I bought some Pringles Selects, Cheese Straws, and Gardettos to munch on while we waited for the old year to die. The Pringles Selects are new rice crisps put out by the esteemed chip company, and they are great! Highly recommend them. The Cheese Straws were by Geraldines, and I chose to try them because they use the term bodacious to describe their product. These came from the Deli-Bakery side of the store. Gardettos I am not really into, but my wife loves them.

At some point today I'll eat the perfunctory Black EyePeas and Greens.
