Inert Ramblings

Month: August 2003

  • Would you let this guy save your soul?

    Reverend Doc Fish is the founder and High Minister of The First Church of the Holy Fish, a shadowy parish open to sinners of “miscreant, malfeasant or otherwise dubious backgrounds, preferably with some source of disposable income”. He introduced the world to “Holy Acts of Recompense”, a monetary sacrament system of paying for sins at affordable rates. An ordained minister, he holds a Doctor of Divinity degree and tends to his herd of Faithful each week from his 12-acre religious compound on the Eastern edge of the Everglades in South Florida.

    Monkey. Purple. Get your salvation while the salvation is hot!

  • I’m high as a kite and my teeth are green…

    OK, not really, but you know how I feel if you get the reference. Although I’m not quite as wired as first day I started taking it, I definitely feel a little stoned. I also remember why I worked so well to help kickstart the diet…I’ve felt full all day and I actually had to force myself to eat a few minutes ago. Even after my small bowl of leftover steak in broth I’m perfectly satisfied with no real desire to eat anything else.

    And so it beings…again…

  • Lunch

    • Leftover steak tips in pot roast marinade.

  • Trying Xenadrine EFX again…

    Just for grins and giggles I’ll be trying Xenadrine EFX again. The only reason I stopped taking it before was price…I really liked the effects it had on my appetite and the energy boost it gave me but I could no longer justify the cost. Now that I seem to have hit another plateau I figure I’ll burn through a bottle and see how it goes.

  • Breakfast

  • Dinner

  • Dinner

    • Denny’s buffalo chicken strips with bleu cheese and celery

  • Watch out for the Recyclesaurus!

    The power was out in the office this morning and the entire building has been shaking like mad all day. The Recyclesaurus pavement eater has been dutifully chomping away at the street since the wee morning hours. Looks like I’ll have a rally stage on the way out of the building this evening! About time they decided to redo the tarmac in the facility…

  • WalMart’s return policy is complete bunk…

    So, what happens when you lose the receipt for a pair of unopened $14.97 shorts that you’d like to return to WalMart? They offer you $3.00, take it or leave it. No receipt equals no refund for seasonal items…but the clerk was nice enough to offer me $3.00 for my inconvenience. Sorry, I’ll forego the $3.00 and give away the shorts.

    Update (12/18/2004): Since this is one of the most commented on entries on my Blog, I feel the need to make a quick clarification. Yes, I’m an idiot for losing my receipt. Had they simply told me that they couldn’t give me a refund because I lost my receipt I would have been disappointed but I would have understood.

    The reason I’m pissed is because instead of just saying “we can’t give you a refund without a receipt” they insulted me by offering me $3.00. It’s the principle of it. I’d rather donate the item to charity than be given $3.00 for a product they’re going to put back on the rack and sell for $14.97.

  • Lunch

    I’m so high right now…I’ve got no idea what’s going on…

    • Chicken quesadilla with cheese, onions, beans and rice.

    So I’ve had my single cheat day this month. So good. So many carbs. So high.
