The GITMO detainees are pretty fond of Fruit Loops That’s funny. I thought they would have been Cuckoo for Coco Puffs.
Yes, I know my guestbook is messed up. I’m working on it. Ever since @Home went bellyup and Comcast took over, my guestbook has been down. Seems Comcast doesn’t supply me with a guestbook cgi.
Pizza Hut did me wrong. Tonight I ordered a large meat lovers pizza with a coupon for $8.99. Technically the coupon said “Large one topping.” They said that it would be a little more since it was a meatlovers. So I get there and they charge me $11.99 plus tax for the pizza. I had a coupon for a large pizza cooked any way you want it for $10.99. So I got cheated out of a dollar.
Normally I wouldn’t care. But Papa John’s and Dominos both have a large one topping carry out for $6.99, much cheaper than Pizza Hut’s $8.99 coupon price. I really don’t know how Pizza Hut competes. Seems like they would have been out of business by now.

Al Qaida is planning a comeback
Al Qaida is planning a comeback….they’re planning to reform; put out a new album, and begin a reunion tour. The Taliban are confirmed as the opening act.
Like a bad Jerry Springer Show, CNN interviews Bin Laden’s half brother. Not surprisingly his bro doesn’t believe Bin Laden had anything to do with the September 11th attacks.
Missionaries
Yesterday at church it was father son day on the Communion Table. Whoever picked the servers for the Communion Table made sure that all of them were father and son combinations. Keep it in the family I guess.
Also yesterday during our Sunday night service, we heard from the missionary group who went to El Salvador. From what I can gather, they had a medical mission team (which meant pulling some teeth and head lice scrubs) and then had a gospel meeting later on. Throughout their talks, we showed pictures on the big screen. I am thrilled at actually having some substance to show on the church webpage. Normally I can’t get any response from people in regards to pictures.
You have to be careful about this whole missionary thing. Potential converts may be likely to convert just for free health care (as in the case in Central America) or the chance to meet Westerners for a free trip back to America (as in the case with Russia). The whole thing is reminiscent of a South Park episode I saw. (I don’t normally watch South Park…..I find the show somewhat crude and redundant). Anyways in this particular episode, a missionary to Africa was featured. Converts were told to use English since it was “God’s language” and to take on Christian names. They were also told that “reading the bible and accepting Jesus equals food.”
For many Christians, a mission team teaching the bible, also means Americanizing your converts. This is far from the truth. Foriegn converts should be allowed to continue to practice customs of their own cultures….as long as it doesn’t directly interfer or go against Christianity.
I can’t believe I just did that….using a South Park episode as a guide for missionary policy.
Topher’s Breakfast Cereal Character Guide…I
Topher’s Breakfast Cereal Character Guide…I went looking for information about Lucky Charms and found this.
Everything’s gone green!
I decided that St. Patrick’s Day was a good excuse to redo some color schemes on this page. No more orange. It has been a full year since I’ve had this domain….and there’s been no color change to it until now.
Thoughout this time, I’ve been able to share photos, thoughts, and general miscellaneous stories. I hope you have enjoyed them. I am slightly surprised that nobody is using the comments thingy at the bottom of each post. It took me an entire 2 hours on a Saturday to install it.
Ok, question for you. Do you think this page is worthy of including on a resume? Not that I’m looking for a job…. My new boss has requested my resume, and I was thinking about putting this car crash of a webpage on a resume. Bad idea?
Now if I could only keep those kids from getting my Frosted Lucky Charms.
Baby Bob
Something tells me CBS’s new sitcom, Baby Bob won’t last long. Ok, we get it. The baby talks. It’s a one joke show, kinda like Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C. The entire storyline of each episode was Gomer does something stupid and gets the sergeant mad at him. Besides, if the Baby Bob show is actually renewed for a 2nd season, they will have to get another baby.
Actually I’m surprised “ALF” lasted as long as it did. It too, was a one joke show. I was drawn to it during my 7th grade year simply because of the muppet phenomenon.
For the Bi-Lo Curious
While looking at the NCAA tournament matchups, I discovered that some of the games were going to be played at the Bi-Lo Center in Greenville, South Carolina….apparently for the Bi-Lo curious. That has to be the dumbest name I have ever heard for a corporate sponsored arena. Bi-Lo Center? Is that a grocery store or an arena? Kids are going to be confused when their parents take them to the Bi Lo Center expecting to get milk and bread, but get a basketball game or a Santana concert instead.
Here’s some news stories I’ve read lately:
Boys will be boys…Elementary boys are drooling over bikini clad models in the school’s Guinness Book of World Records. Why does this surprise anyone? I’d be doing the same thing.
Judge allows crossdressing man to wear a dress at his trial…..I’d imagine this couldn’t help his case any. He’s on trail for inappropriate behavior with a 4 year old girl. Kinda reminds me of that juror who wore a Star Trek outfit to the Whitewater trial.
Company which owns KFC, Pizza Hut and Taco Bell will buy Long John Silvers …I guess we’ll start seeing KFC/Long John Silver combination restaurants. There something awfully weird about being able to get a Taco and Mashed Potatos at the same restaurant.
The NIT Tourney: Your Lovely Parting Gifts
Is winning a NIT tourney game like loosing a NCAA tourney game? For many college basketball teams, the NIT tournament is like one of those “lovely parting gifts” you’d get on Wheel of Fortune. If you can’t play in the big leagues, why play at all? The NIT has almost no prestige.
Andrea Yates is defintely crazy. She’s the one who drown her 5 children, thinking that it would save them from hell. Definitely a looney in my book. Yet, the jury did find her guilty of murder. Is she a threat to society? No. Would she kill again? Probably not. I say lock her up in a mental institution forever.

A Look Back at 9/11/01
I’ve put together a page which documents the events of my life on September 11, 2001. This page was done through telephone logs and archived emails.
Today is the 6 month anniversary of the attack on America. I can only imagine the hate and evil which was conjured up on that day by the hijackers. I have found that there are some very evil people in this world….people who use religion as an excuse to kill thousands of innocent people. I’m still asking myself “Why?”
