Here is a list of stuff I’ve done/seen/experienced recently, along with ratings:

  • Carving Homestar Runner Jack-o-lanterns with David
    • Rating: Fun, fun, fun! David is better at it than I am.
  • Hearing David shout, “the good times are over!” in his best H*R voice when I did something that upset him during the carving of the H*R punkins
    • Rating: Hilarious! I love David.
  • Praline Pumpkin Pie (with brown sugar, butter and pecans on top)
    • Rating: Yummy. I’ve never made it this way before, but it’s good! I wouldn’t want to totally give up on “plain” pumpkin pie, though.
  • Getting an evening phone call from Joan Miller requesting, “Drop everything and go to a haunted house with us!”
    • Rating: Good. I like spontaneity!
  • “Haunted Hotel” at intersection of Stagecoach Road and Colonel Glenn in Little Rock
    • Rating: Not really scary. Still, it was fun. I’m not sure it was worth waiting in line in the cold for over an hour to get in. But I got to talk with Joan during the wait, so that makes up for it.
  • Finding out that my car has been towed, because I left it in an E-Z Mart parking lot while I rode with Joan and the others to the haunted house
    • Rating: Not recommended.
  • Missing church because the only Sunday hours at the towing company (aka “the extortionists”) clash with worship hours
    • Rating: Annoying.
  • Paying $187.25 to the towing company (aka “robbers and thieves”) to get the car back
    • Rating: Rather more than annoying.
  • Being free from the annoying project that I had been assigned to at work
    • Rating: Hooray!
  • Discovering that I will have to travel (and work over the weekend, not coming home) for an unknown length of time for the new annoying project at work
    • Rating: Boo! However, the travel will be to Chicago. I’ve never been there. So that’s something, I guess.

OK, so they’re not really “ratings” (like 1st, 2nd, 3rd; or good, better, best). Get over it.

    I definitely want to see Wallace and Gromit, but I don’t know about The Corpse Bride.

    Did you make the Praline Pumpkin Pie, sounds good. Maybe you can make it for Thanksgiving?

    So sorry about your car being towed!!

    When exactly are you going to have to travel to Chicago for the annoying project at work?

    Ha, that was an altogether funny post.

    What’s David’s “best H*R voice”?

    I’ll be going to Chicago next Monday. I’ll be there at least the week after that, too. Probably more.

    David’s “best H*R voice” is his imitation of Homestar Runner. He was quoting Homestar from the Bug In Mouth Disease episode.

    I made the praline pumpkin pie for the Halloween potluck at work. Sure, I can make it at Thanksgiving!

    Well, I don’t know nothin’ about no Homestar Runner, but I will consider it funny nonetheless.

    So why is the towing company so bad? ( I forget all the adjectives you used to describe them)

    Did you park in a posted ‘tow-away zone’? Or if not expressly posted, an implied zone? If I own a business, I would not want non-customers, parking their cars filling up my lot, (thereby keeping actual customers out) while they go somewhere else. It seems that you are were at fault and had to pay the penalty, nothign wrong with that.

    I’m just messing with you Brian. I did hear that you opened up a can of ‘polite protest’ that night.
