STRAIGHT FROM THE MUT

Stu finally got the birthday present I ordered him a month ago. It’s one of those antique popcorn makers, on a cart. He called me up to tell me how much he loved it, but a day later, started hinting he was going to return it. Apparently, there are two types of popcorn makers: air poppers and oil poppers. This one used oil. “What’ the big deal?” I asked. “It’s unhealthy and doesn’t fit my lifestyle.” Yeah. You’re a regular fucking Richard Simmons.

Speaking of Stu and birthdays, since he’s turned 40, he has undergone some crazy transformation. It’s got to be some sort of midlife crisis. He’s trying all these crazy things and doing things he should have tried when he was younger. But the funniest part is, he is doing all these things in a 40-year old manor. Instead of going out and getting a Harley, he is looking to buy a Vespa. Instead of joining a flag football team, he is trying to join a co-ed soccer team. Instead of reading Guns and Ammo, he reads Modern Bride. Oh wait. That last one is me. Anyway, I keep telling him it’s great and I love that he’s trying to keep up with JMut and I. However, we are NOT going to let him hang out with us if he insists on wearing his blackberry and/or cell phone on his belt, and certainly not if he keeps yelling out “play Free Bird” every 10 minutes at every concert we’re at.

Warren Buffet is giving away 85% of his fortune to charity. That is insane. One day, I hope to be able to help out the world in same way. I mean, I could give away 85% of what I have now, but that would be about $395 and 6.8 Girls Gone Wild DVDs.

PROGRAMMING NOTE:
Obviously, the pace of new postings has slowed over the last couple of weeks. One, I am still recovering from the Then Again show, but more importantly, I am getting married on Saturday, and my energies are focused on keeping Randi from running out on me. I doubt I will have internet access on my honeymoon (we are going to Antarctica), so this might be it for a while. BUT, that doesn’t mean you, my loyal reader can’t help. Remember. SPREAD THE WORD. I’m gonna come back and write about the wedding, and it’s going to be the most anticipated thing out there since the Season 3 debut of Entourage! Ok, more like Police Academy 6 (complete with gratuitous nudity) but you get the point.
