Day Off Smakk
Really just here to point out that I am not working today but will be out on the golf course hitting some balls and taking some hits from my flask of captain. So please enjoy reading this from under the lovely fluorescent lights while you sit behind the keyboard and monitor in your 6' x 6' cube as the minutes slowly tick by your work day. Happy Friday slaves....

Recession Food Smakk
With Big Wu & L having a "Recession Party" this weekend, I'm struggling with the best idea of finger food to bring in order to keep with the theme. Here are a few ideas that I'm considering:

Government cheese and vienna sausage plate
Ramen square mini-cakes sprinkled with shrimp, beef and chicken seasoning
Stolen samples from Sam's Club demos
Oatmeal cookies cut into fours with powder sugar
Tortilla pizza with free ketchup & hot sauce packets as the sauce
Raw egg shooters
Peanuts since we are working for peanuts (That was the Bunny's)
Fried Mac & Cheese balls with left over Papa John's garlic butter as dipping sauce
PB&J squares on day old bread

Or screw it. Maybe we can just all meet at Cici's before the party...

Pic Smakk
The last 10 pictures I took on my Palm Treo:
1. Mario Cart game in progress
2. Taco Pie dinner I made for first time last night
3. BWW take out menu in case Taco Pie sucked
4. Me standing between a statue of a sombrero'd fellow and his donkey
5. Guy dancing with shark at Bourbon Street Blue in New Orleans
6. Hayden Panetteire on cover of Short Hair (Bunny just got similar chop)
7. Pic of me doing interview for Channel 4 about gas prices from last summer
8. 2009 SI Swimsuit issue cover
9. Pimped out golf cart with chrome rims & stitch leather seats
10. Monte Carlo offer for free rooms, pit passes and hospitality tent at 3/1 Nascar race in Vegas

Not sure what this all means above but it looks like it was a good week...

Omen Smakk

Now I'm not the biggest believer in omens or signs (and thank God not in karma), but I gotta tell you that I was little nervous flying out of New Orleans last week. I'm not sure if it's just a common coincidence or that we really just remember better the real ironic tragedies in life - like the guy that dies the day after winning the lotto or Christopher Reeves being hurt and paralyzed after playing Superman. We just seem to remember these things more becuase of the irony involved in the situation.

So here's what brought this to my mind. First off, we have all had the thought of our plane coming down in a fireball of death as we get settled in our seat just before take off. But the omen of pending ironic tradegy for me was when the Captain came over the loud speaker on my flight just before we start down the runway and announces, "I would also like to say welcome to the large group of FAA Inspectors that we have on board the plane with us today." Are you fucking kidding me? I could already see the headlines on my crash - "FAA Inspectors Get First Hand View of Airplane Disaster...From Their Own Seats". Excuse me miss, I'll take a double...
