Kenny Rogers, Omens, and the Shut-Up Treatment
We got the studio going and messed around with a couple new ideas, then we said screw it lets play some Kenny Rogers, and lets have Brad sing the lead. We chose The Gambler and we added a verse:
Song by Kenny Rogers
Song by Kenny Rogers
Song by Kenny Rogers
Kenny Rogers Song
Its about this Gambler
Who meets Kenny Rogers
Yes, Kenny Rogers
And they write this song
The other twist we added is to always say "waingst" instead of "when." Example. "You got to know
waingst to hold 'em, know waingst to fold 'em..." It makes it more rednecky and fun.
Brad always starts laughing at the line, "And the night got deathly quiet..." Funny stuff, but you
had to be there.

There once was a cat named Bibbit who liked to be stretched and used as a broom. He belonged to
me and my fiancee, and when he got lost I knew it was an omen; We broke up very soon afterwards. I
never saw the cat again either. There was also a watch I gave her for her birthday, she lost it at
the very place where she met the other guy.
I ran to NYC.
The next girl was already married. I didn't need much more of a sign than that but I got one. She
took me to a gay bar one night and I ended up running away.
Another girl wanted to move in with me but got lost on the way to my apartment. Another omen, and of
course it didn't work out.
I met another girl, she told me she couldn't imagine herself as an old woman. She thought she'd die
soon and she told me so. Then she got hit by a truck and died.
Another girl found me, I gave her a necklace from Tiffany's for her birthday and it broke. She told
me her daughter snatched it off her neck, but when I offered to have it repaired she declined. Omen.
It shouldn't have been a surprise when she abandoned me too, but it was.
I can see the signs, but not until its too late. I need to improve in this area. I need to recognize
and then act on my instincts.
I don't because I know that love is a choice. It's something you decide to work on, and its not
always easy. There is no woman who is going to come along one day and do no wrong because no one is
perfect, and if I did meet a perfect woman I would feel perfectly inadequate. I see red flags and I
ignore them because I think it would be better to work through rough times and misunderstandings
than to throw everything away and start again. Problem is I'm the only one who thinks this way.
Every woman insists that all men are dogs and yet they expect prince charming to come along one day
and fix all their problems. I try to be that way, but I'm just a man and I'm not perfect. What I
need is someone who thinks I'm worth the effort it takes. Good luck with that.

Matt said, "Really, when you get down to the core of it, barbeque sauce is nothing more that peanut butter and tuna. Then you can spice it up with whatever you want, like chocolate or popcorn."
Matt is working with this guy who was a Drill Sgt. in the USMC, he couldn't do it anymore because
it got to the point where he would just laugh at the recruits. He developed a bag of tricks after
doing it for a while, and he always knew what to say to mess with someone.
One of his favorite tricks was to ask a question and then tell the kid to shut up before he had a
chance to answer, then he'd ask another question and tell him to shut up again. One kid was getting
the shut-up treatment and got so flustered that he just took off running.
The D.I. ran after him and kept in his face as he was running away, "What is your major malfunction?
Where are you going?"
He must have laughed all day after that, I would have.

This post is all random thoughts, I think my writing skills are slipping.

Brad is the white Flavor-Flav, or Flavor-Flav is the black Brad.
Mikey from American Chopper is the fat Brad.
