ATTENTION SHOPPERS! Only 5 shopping days until my birthday. If you've already bought me something, then disregard this message. If not, then what are you waiting for? Remember, I like stuff that's cool. I don't like stuff that sucks. And, as always, no shopping on Sunday. Thank you for your attention in this matter.
P.S. If you've already purchased something, you will remain on the Christmas card list. TTFN, Daddy Shark
Ghostly Trio
Thursday, November 08, 2007
Before it gets too far past Halloween I wanted to post my Jack-O Lanterns. From left to right meet Stinky, Abacrombie the Zombie and Toothy Perkins.
And just so you all know my "Trio" didn't end up in some landfill to rot away, I fed them to Jonnie, and Cophelia, a couple of goats my friend owns. So until next All Hallowed Eve.
BOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love this time of year. The leaves are dieing, costume parties, my birthday, and soon enough Turkey Day. I went on a 5 store quest for the DW yesterday to find Pixie Stix. But alas none were found. So this year we're passing out Gummi Body Parts, Lemon Heads and mini $ 100,000 Dollar barz, oh and totally squishy gummi eyeballs from Costco.So here's a hearty and eerie BOO!!!!!!!to all my pals out there.
PS. Hermana Bance you are lookin' great, Ordinary Ma, awesome talk you rule, Anzy, do yer dang dishes,and Miz Van Pelt, come give Daddy Shark some sugar, oh and Yarn Queen, now I know why yer kid is soooo cool. And of course JohnHenery, better early than late. Welcome to the world.

Well it's 7 weeks into the NFL season, and college ball is also in full swing. It's my most favorite time of the year. Im grateful to whoever invented Tivo and DVR cuz now I can record the games whereby saving them to watch at my convenience . It totally helps me to observe the Sabath properly and skip all the silly ads. Of course my favorite team couldn't beat the Girl Scouts this year and they'd have a hard time sacking Big Bird, but hey I'm a fan. I also love Hockey, I mean you gotta love a sport where you can skate across the ice, sock a trouble maker in the nose and only have to sit out for 5 minutes and it's all part of the game. Ah the Manly Art of Manliness. Well I gotta go now my wife wants me to take out the trash and mop the kitchen.

I found this little eatery in Oakland Ca. Its on the corner of Clay and 12th or Clay and International, I can't remember. The parking lot was packed so I took that as a good sign. Once inside there was plenty of seating. Mexicali Rose is a place to go to get your "GRUB"on. It's hard to tell from the photo but that plate is nearly an inch and a half deep, and about 15 inches across. Authentic beans con mucho manteca (full o' lard). The salsa was authentico. There's nothing 
worse than a Mexican restaurant that serves sissy gringo salsa. But the numero uno surprise was the best chili rellano I've ever had in my life. Them's good eats! Thick eggy breading and tons o' cheese inside the pepper. So if you're ever in Oakland, and it's daylight, and you have a fast car and an adventurous spririt, try Mexicali Rose. Just be sure to keep looking over your shoulder. Not the best neighborhood. Just look at this satisfied customer. Soggy says, "Muy sabroso, no?"

Like the sign says, this joint is in Port
Angeles
. They should call this place the "Crap House".They weren't all that busy, yet it took the "Hostess" 15 minutes to decide that maybe we weren't invisible. This gal had the customer service skills of Attilla the Hun. She totally reminded me of Selma Diamond, you know the crotchity ol' baliff lady that smoked nearly constantly and had the voice to match, who played on Night Court.
Anyhow the service could have been timed with a sundial, the water tasted glickky, and the whole place smelled of burnt grease.
So if you get hungry in Port Angeles, go to Taco Bell or go scrape mussels off the pier pileings, It'd taste better.
Rating: Full on GAG a BUZZARD.

I'm no professional, but a fat guy knows food, so from time to time I will post on places to go for great eats. My first posting is Chicago Joes in Las Vegas. We came upon this great little Italian place on a recommend from my sister from another mother Carol. This eatery is not on the strip, and most locals don't even know of it, but what a nice surprise. I had the meat lasagna. Thick, with layer after yummy layer of pasta and cheesy goodness. The sausage was mild with the perfect breath of fennel.
Chicago Joes also has a rich and somewhat dangerous history. It was one of the favorite haunts of mobsters from Vegas' rough and rowdy past. And I swear that the night we ate there that both of the other couples eating there were the stereotypical Mafia looking, talking and even dressing sort I've ever seen in real life. Sure it could've been my overactive imagination, but I think not.
Chicago Joes is located in the old downtown in a small yet comfortable house. So if you're ever in Las Vegas and want a break from the usual casino noise and food, I highly suggest you try Chicago Joes. Call ahead for reservations cuz, as I said, it's a small place that's big on both taste and history (with free parking around back).

Take a look at my darlin' Kaylee-bug on a slug. We got to spend the day together as my son had a 7 hour layover here in Seattle, so what was a gramps to do???? Take the day off from work...what else. I don't have a clue what heart cockles are, but mine sure were warmed on that day.

These are my newest masks. The one on the left came from South Africa, my pal Dan brought it back from his visit a month or so ago. The other is from Indonesia. It came from the Super Mall in Auburn. Soon they will join my other masks displayed in the spare room. For a closer look call me and a short tour will be arranged for you.

Look at these pictures.My backyard is crawling with Mormons. We held a High Priest get-together at our house a couple of weeks ago and all these nice folks attended. Having Mormons at your party is great for several reasons. One is that nobody is gonna get drunk and start a fight or zook on your bathroom floor.They are always respectful of your stuff and there is never any potty mouth. Best of all you get to hang out in a casual setting , in comfortable clothes, unlike when we're at church. Another great thing is that when its time for them to go home,they go, but not without helping you clean up first. We Mormons are just like other people we wanna be loved, we wanna be safe and we want a fist full of Arby's coupons. But no Jamocha shakes cuz they make 'em with real coffee.OK we don't all like Arby's, some of us like the Super China Buffet. I'll be lookin' for you all by the mondo bowl of peel and eat shrimp. Yummm, thems good eats.
PETS
Sunday, July 01, 2007
Some of you may be animal lovers. Keeping, and even perhaps loving, a dog a cat or ferrett. I too love critters, but to own a dog or cat here in the city you also must pick up their poo. I am totally not intrested in that. In fact I don't love anything that much. Oh sure I have kids of my own, but if I would've had to clean up after those little "House Apes" for more than a few years I might have left them on the door step of the nearest dog pound,or more appropriately termed, dog impound.
The DW is allergic to most fur bearin' beasties, except me that is. I do keep a few pets though, to the right is Xena my Emperer scorpion. She died about 4 years ago so she has totally lost her appitite for cricketts, ergo no poo, brilliant ain't it. I also have Polka the dried puffer fish, not only no poo from this one but no water in the tank to mess with. I do have one live pet, its a red betta by the name of Alpha. I feed her every other day and shes cool with that. I don't have a photo of Alpha due to a funky "No Pictures" clause in her contract. Who would've thought Betta would have such a strong union????
I gotta go now some slob let their cat out and I have to pick up the poo in my garden before it kills my poppys. If I catch that cat I'm gonna give it a flying lesson.
