Am I missing what that is supposed to be? I'm apparently not seeing what the designers were trying to do. Needless to say, it won the competition.

EDIT: Since RobG didn't get it ... click the link to see company logos that look like they have penises in them. Wow, Rob.

How to make an Angie Ingredients:
5 parts success
5 parts self-sufficiency
5 parts instinct Method:
Layer ingredients in a shot glass. Add caring to taste! Do not overindulge!
OK ... I usually don't post these in my blog, but this one was just too weird. I've had conversations with my mom before that maybe the women in our family are TOO self-sufficient. Apparently I have a double-whammy of getting that from her and my grandma on my dad's side, but I digress. This came up in another one of those "Dr. Phil" conversations ... another one of which I just got on Sunday haha. :)
Do not overindulge though? I don't know about that ...
I decided I few days ago that I was wasting a lot of money paying for a car that I drove a few times a month (well, it had been bugging me that I was wasting so much money on it for a few months, but I only decided to bite the bullet and do something about it a few days ago). Now, I'm happy ... and a little nervous ... to say that my uncle is going to take it off my hands for me. I think he would have rather had the red Jetta that I had a couple years back, but he was nice enough to accept my current one instead.
So, yeah ... anyone who really knows me, and how I am with my cars, understands what a HUGE decision this is. OK, back to the "a little nervous" part ... now that I'm typing this, I'm completely scared, but it will be an interesting little experiment. Angie without a car ... crazy! :O
I'll try out the Zipcar service for a little bit to see how that works for my three trips a month to the store, and if it turns out I think I made a horrid mistake, then I guess I'll buy another one. And, Mike, if this comes back to bite me in the ass, I'm coming after YOU for planting this seed in my head again! Just a heads up.
Oh, and an added bonus of the transaction ... this means that in two or three weeks, I get an unexpected visit back to Indiana when I deliver the car to New Richmond. Yay. :)
In honor of Coach Knight becoming the winningest coach in Division I history with Texas Tech's win over New Mexico today ... the Top 10 reasons to love Bob Knight:
10. The tradition of basketball that he built at IU. (Hopefully now it begins to regenerate.)
9. No matter how you interpret his comments, you always know exactly where he's coming from.
8. His quote about Mike Davis from a couple of years ago: "The guy that's coaching there is a guy that I told Pat we were going to replace at the end of the season. There's no way that I would have kept the guy any longer than that."
7. He never cheats to get players ... and can still get wins because of the way he's able to motivate the guys he can get.
6. He cares about his players graduating.
5. He surprisingly supplied me with his own dose of reality TV in 2006.
4. He coached the last team to have an undefeated season ... in 1976.
3. The always-memorable press conferences.
2. Watching him choke back tears today while listening to Frank Sinatra's "My Way" being played over the loud speakers in Lubbock, Texas.
1. He shares my feelings on professional basketball and can articulate it like no one else: "If the NBA were on Channel 5, and a bunch of frogs making love were on Channel 4, I'd watch the frogs, even if they were coming in fuzzy."
I still wish it could have been at Indiana, and I still remember the feeling I had working at the Daily News that black, Sunday night in 2000 when the reports were coming in that he had been fired. You sure wouldn't have had to sell tickets at $8.80 to pack Assembly Hall, but it is what it is. Congrats to Bob.
Finally, some Indiana basketball nostalgia:
In a D.C. Examiner story about "We Are Marshall" today, Matthew Fox is quoted: "Your classic sports movie, a movie like 'Rudy,' I don't imagine women enjoy that movie that much. It's more of a guy's film."
Uh ... WHAT!?
You imagined wrong. Don't finish the surgery, Jack. He's not going to let you go.
So, I go to Bed, Bath and Beyond on my lunch hour.
New rule for myself: Don't go shopping when I have a time crunch because it will make me all that much more annoyed. Check.
I get to the cashier, she can't get my debit card to work and has to call someone over. Finally, it works, but now the pen they have there won't write for me to sign. I tell the woman the pen doesn't work ... three times before she pays attention to me. She says, "OK, I'll get you another one," and grabs THE SAME PEN that I was just using. I say, "No, that is the one I just tried." She sighs, annoyed, and walks off to find another pen. That one doesn't work either. Turns out that ink pens don't seem to like the stainless steel countertop that is installed. Smart move on that decor choice.
At this point, I have been there about 15 minutes longer than I needed to be ... then she can't find my copy of the receipt. She asks the cashier next to her about it, and that woman says, "Yeah, you gave me a receipt I didn't need, and I couldn't figure out why." They fish it out of the trash. I ask about my gift receipt. She says, "Bed, Bath and Beyond does not DO gift receipts." I say, "Seriously? How is that?" because I could swear I have gotten them before. Then I realized that the last several purchases I have made there have been something off a wedding registry, and I didn't need one, so maybe they don't. But, for real ... what kind of store doesn't give gift receipts now? Ugh.
So after work, I go to Macy's. I take my things to the cash register, and the woman rings them up ... slowly, folds them slowly, finds mismatching boxes ... slowly. I just want to go home.
She hands me my receipt, but again, no gift receipt. I say, "Don't you have a gift receipt?" She replies, "Did you tell me at the beginning of the transaction that you needed one?" I'm thinking ... it's Christmas, I'm obviously not buying men's stuff for myself and you gave me gift boxes! But I just say, "Well, no." She says, "Well, you have to tell me ahead of time that you're going to need that. I can't give you one now without doing the whole thing over again." At this point I do say, "It's Christmas! Obviously these are gifts ... I guess you'll have to do it over. I didn't know I had to specify." Then she mutters under her breath, "Yeah, I guess I am supposed to be asking people if they need a gift receipt when I start." Uh, yeah ... I thought so.
Sheesh! Happy holidays everyone ...
I thought about blogging a bit about my new favorite show, "The Class," last night, but then was too tired to think of a good enough hook ... and I couldn't find the clip that I actually wanted to show. Today, however, it gets in because CBS has given me two blogworthy topics.
1) We'll lead off with "The Class" since I already mentioned it. I started watching this show because it was on before my new favorite sitcom from last year, "How I Met Your Mother." I was slightly embarrassed to say that I actually watched it, but continued because I figured it would get cancelled fast. Luckily, it hasn't because now, I think it has made me laugh out loud as much as "The Office" and on a more consistent basis. (A couple of this season's "Office" eps have been slightly lacking ... thank God they've gotten Jim back in the
2) Even though I never really got into the whole "Cops" genre and probably wouldn't have given this show a thought to watch, next year's "Armed & Famous" reality show will now get scheduled on my Tivo because I found out today the celebrity cops have been sworn into the
Basic premise: "Celebrity" cops Erik Estrada, Trish Stratus, Wee Man, La Toya Jackson and Jack Osbourne become reserve Muncie police officers, ride with training officers and arrestees are offered a few hundred dollars or an "I got arrested by a celebrity and all I got is this lousy T-shirt," tee in order to put them on the reality show.
Sorry to all the suckers who take the T-shirt.
Ahhh,
