Science Makes Amazing Leap In Weight Loss
However, being the type of person who doesn't like to mock what he doesn't understand, I continued to read up on all the information there was on Garcinia Cambogia. Which wasn't all that much.
The investigations that were conducted upon this new super weight loss pill read like the owners manual for an Ikea entertainment center. I couldn't make heads or tails about what I was looking at. I picked up bits and pieces, but the scientific double talk was way beyond what I could understand. There was stuff about converting your bodies cells into little fat burning furnace's and hyper weight loss and absorption of fat, but that was all I understood.
Instead, I decided to forgo the agonizing mumbo jumbo and go right to the before and after pictures. That would tell me everything I needed to know. And what it told me was science has once again pushed the envelope and as usual it might have gone just a little to far.
So, what is Garcinia Cambogia? According to the before and after pictures it is a drug that doesn't so much help you lose weight as it does redistribute that weight to more desired areas. In other words, it turns your breasts into giant (or average sized) fat magnets.
Here's an example of just how effective Garcinia Cambogia is and what it does.

A Message From My Mom
I'm guessing in an attempt to make things easier for their customers, Sprint started converting voicemails to text messages. An idea I am behind 100%. Anything that saves me the time of having to listen to dozens of boring text messages every day I would consider a blessing from God... If it worked that is.
The voicemail to text translation is normally only about 10% accurate. Which means I still have to listen to my voicemail messages. On the brighter side, the translations are like really messed up word puzzles. So, they help keep my mind sharp.
Here's an example of how accurate the voicemail to text message system is. Below is a message I received from my mom this morning. First, I'll give you the phone translation of the voice message followed by what my mom really said.
Voicemail Translation:
Hi wendy and ellen snow point and ... she's.
Mom's Actual Message:
Hi Jimmy. Are you still in bed? Talk to you later.
It pretty much got only the 'hi' part right.
I'm so glad Sprint has started offering this amazing service. At first I was surprised they were just giving it away. Now I see why. Thanks Sprint. Woohoo.

Transformers: Age of Extinction - A Need To Know Fact
I still don't plan on reviewing the movie, because really what is there to say. If you go to a Transformers movie you all ready know what to expect: Lots of explosions, some cheesy dialogue and Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots on a massive scale. What you may not be expecting is a movie that clocks in at 165 minutes. I know I wasn't.
If I had known the movie was going to be that long, I definitely would not have bought the large drink. Seriously, there needs to be a sign at the concession counter stating, "The movie you are about to see is close to three hours long. If you don't have an aisle seat, you may want to consider getting a small drink."
About two hours into the movie, the realization that my bladder was losing the battle against the Diet Coke I kept sipping on suddenly sank in. I spent the next hour trying to think of a way to casually sneak past everyone else in the row without looking like I had just been shot in the stomach. Because as all men know, when you have to go to the bathroom that bad, you don't walk like you normally do. Instead, you hunch over a little bit, move really slow and wince with every step you take.
I figured it would take me roughly 15 minutes just to make it from my seat to the end of the row and to the aisle. So, I decided to suck it up and hold it. Not the wisest decision I had ever made.
When the first ending credit hit the screen, I intended to launch up out of my seat and on to my feet, but that didn't happen. I actually had to have my girlfriend help me up. And as I rose, I saw men all around me struggling to do the same. This meant only one thing... the race was on.
Like new born giraffes trying to learn to walk, men were limping and stumbling to beat one another to the ultimate prize. A spot at one of four stalls in the bathroom. As I made my way up the aisle to the doors that opened up to the lobby, I could hear my girlfriend yelling behind me, "Go! Go! Go!"
What she didn't realize was that I was already going as fast as I could. I'm pretty sure my grandpa who used a walker to get around could have easily passed me.
When I finally made it to the bathroom (I came in second place by the way)
all you could hear was a sigh of relief from four men that was so intense in volume and force that it could have shattered glass. And at the end, I walked out of that bathroom feeling renewed, alive and like a survivor.
Sure, the movie finally gave us the Dinobots we have been craving to see, but all I really took from the movie was this lesson... long movie = small drink. Its a simple equation that will save you a lot of pain.

Florida Go Bust
I only ask because I've already had nine people today tell me that's what I look like and if that is what I really look like then that's ... awesome!!! Especially since I feel like something the cat dragged in then peed on and then kicked sand all over.
The flight I was supposed to catch at 5 a.m. was cancelled, so that was a great start to my day. They never gave a reason as to why my flight was cancelled, but I'm going to guess it must have been something pretty serious. After all, why else would they randomly choose me to under go a man-on-man assist. Oh, and in case you don't know what that is, that's where the TSA agent gets to feel you up without having to buy you dinner. The creepiest part is when the guy grabbed my leg then asked if it was okay if he could check my leg. I felt he might have been a little late with that question considering as he asked it, he was already in the midst of massaging.. i mean, searching my leg.
Having cleared security I settled into one of those oh-so comfy plastic chairs near my gate and commenced playing five hours of Candy Crush and Paradise Island. The plane ride itself was fairly uneventful. I would preferred a little more leg room, but I powered through. Now, I'm finally home and I really just want to go to sleep, but I did promise you guys an update.
The worst part about today was constantly thinking about how the trip was a complete and utter failure in regards to finding evidence proving the existence of the Sandsquatch. I know he is spotted all the time, I guess he was just a little shy when it came to me.
That's fine though. Everyone needs a little alone time. And while I didn't find any proof to support the existence of the Sandsquatch , I found a few things that gave me hope that one day I will.
Florida has monkeys. If they have monkeys why not a population of half man/ half ape sand loving Sandsquatches. |
The locals say they have never heard of Sandsquatch before, but if this is true... who are those giant sandals for. |

The Sandsquatch
Good super early morning to friendly readers. I'm sorry this is going to be so short, but I'm racing to catch a flight to Florida.
A fan of this blog contacted me earlier tonight and told me he spotted the illusive Sandsquatch on a beach in Fort Lauderdale.
For those unfamiliar with the Sandsquatch, he is a relative of the Sasquatch who prefers wooded-beach areas.
I'll try to give updates when I can.

Letting It Go... In More Than One Way
Don't you hate it when you get a song stuck in your head. It's bad enough when the song lodges itself in there for a couple hours, but when its there for days upon days... well that's just down right evil.
I know this because for the last week I have had that song, 'Let It Go' from the animated blockbuster Frozen running through my head.
So far nothing has been able to make it go away or at least replace it. However, I have found a way to deal with it.
When a song runs through your head enough times you begin to really listen to the words. And when that happens, you realize the song isn't about her ice powers and control, but about a woman who has been repressing her stinky, loud gas and finally decides to not hold back anymore and just let it go.
If you don't believe me, check out the lyrics from the song. Which I've already looked up for you and posted below. Sadly, I will never listen to that song the same way ever again.
Lyrics to Let It Go
The snow glows white on the mountain tonight,
not a footprint to be seen.
A kingdom of isolation and it looks like I'm the queen.
The wind is howling like this swirling storm inside.
Couldn't keep it in, Heaven knows I tried.
Don't let them in, don't let them see.
Be the good girl you always have to be.
Conceal, don't feel, don't let them know.
Well, now they know!
Let it go, let it go!
Can't hold it back any more.
Let it go, let it go!
Turn away and slam the door.
I don't care what they're going to say.
Let the storm rage on.
The cold never bothered me anyway.
It's funny how some distance,
makes everything seem small.
And the fears that once controlled me, can't get to me at all
It's time to see what I can do,
to test the limits and break through.
No right, no wrong, no rules for me.
I'm free!
Let it go, let it go.
I am one with the wind and sky.
Let it go, let it go.
You'll never see me cry.
Here I'll stand, and here I'll stay.
Let the storm rage on.
My power flurries through the air into the ground.
My soul is spiraling in frozen fractals all around
And one thought crystallizes like an icy blast
I'm never going back; the past is in the past!
Let it go, let it go.
And I'll rise like the break of dawn.
Let it go, let it go
That perfect girl is gone
Here I stand, in the light of day.
Let the storm rage on!
The cold never bothered me anyway...
See what I mean. Yucky
5 Things I Thought About While On My Lunch Break
1. I bet werewolves use an insane amount of Nair.
2. I know its possible to deep fry a Twinkie, but what about a Ho-Ho or Ding Dong.
3. Do all guys wish when they are stuck in a traffic jam that their car could transform into a flying car and attack those poor land locked cars?
4. Why don't they make bikini tops for men who have a little extra in the pectoral region. They could call them bro-kinis or his-kinis.
5. What do you think would happen if you texted a picture of your butt to the President of the United States and added 'LOL'? Do you think he would get mad or smile because you put 'LOL'?

The Real World: Illustra - Eyes On Who
This is the true story... of several heroes... picked to live in a state of the art beach house... and have their lives taped... to find out what happens... when people stop being polite... and start getting real... The Real World... Illustra.
Give Me A Break
If one person is getting five or six breaks then I feel everyone should get five or six breaks. Getting extra breaks shouldn't just be a smoker's thing... but interesting enough, it is.
There is no way I could go up to my supervisor and tell him I feel like I need another break even though I just had one thirty minutes ago. I'm pretty sure he would laugh in my face and just tell me to get back to work. However, if I went up to that supervisor and told him I was craving some nicotine and wanted to take a quick smoke break, he would just nod his head and tell me not to take to long. Too bad I don't smoke.
And you have to smoke. You can't go up to your supervisor and be like, "Oh man, I totally need an Oreo. Watch my machine while I go outside and twist open some cookies" or "Everything is getting really stressful. I need to go outside and do a few Mad Libs to help calm my nerves."
What's worse is half the time you can't bring this concern to the attention of your supervisor, because he or she is also sneaking outside and taking extra breaks. Kind of makes complaining a little pointless.
So, since I can't complain, I came up with my own solution. After some intense contemplation I realized there is one thing your supervisor and boss can never deny you... bathroom breaks. And the best part is, a bathroom break can take a minute or it can take as long as 30. It all depends on what you had to eat.
I'm going to put my theory to the test tomorrow. , and when things slow down, I'll tell my boss I need to go to the bathroom. He has to say yes, right? I mean, he's not going to want me doing my little pee-pee dance where customers can see me. Once, he sends me I can go hang out in the bathroom for a bit and eat cookies or read some comics and maybe even watch some tv on my phone. The possibilities of what could be done in there are endless.
If this works I may have found a loophole for all of us non-smokers out there. You have to love the loophole.

The Real World: Illustra - The Peanut Butter Incident
This is the true story... of several heroes... picked to live in a state of the art beach house... and have their lives taped... to find out what happens... when people stop being polite... and start getting real... The Real World... Illustra.
Things Human Resources Says I Can't Do Anymore
1. I'm not allowed to empty all the metal out of a furnace and try to fill it with chocolate pudding anymore.
2. I can't do puppet shows for people in the the bathroom when the puppets are two white worms. Apparently it freaked some people out and for others caused confusion and some horrible things happened... I don't want to talk about it.
3. I have to stop sending subscriptions for Penthouse, Playboy, and Boy's Life to members of the board.
4. I have to stop using the presses to crack open walnuts.
5. The medicine cabinet is for emergencies only. Taking all the gauze out just so I can wrap myself up like a mummy is no longer prohibited. Playing mummy is not an emergency. Their words not mine. I'm guessing they never needed a Halloween costume at the last minute.
6. I have to stop telling people that our factory is built on top of an ancient Mayan burial ground.
7. I also have to stop using the intercom system to play the song, "Its a Small World" over and over again. Apparently, it gives some people horrible flashbacks.
Don't Do That. Don't Do This
"Jim! No texting while you are on the floor!"
"Hey! You can't race the fork lifts around like they're go carts."
"You can't go around telling people to 'suck it'. Even if you do say it in a sing-songy voice."
"Jim. You have to wear pants when you are at work. This is your last warning." I'm currently on my 19th last warning.
And apparently now you can't walk around knocking over baskets of parts and people while roaring and claiming to be Godzilla. Or so says the person in the human resources, who's office I just left.
I don't know why they were so fussy about the situation. Its not like I was knocking over baskets with new parts in them. These were old and defective and scheduled to be melted down later in the night.
I even offered to pick up the parts afterwards which we all know Godzilla just wouldn't do.
They thanked me for my offer, but told me it didn't matter if the parts were good or bad. That wasn't the point.
So, I asked what was the point. Then I challenged him to find three things wrong with what I do.
In response, I was given two typed single spaced pages with a 162 reasons as to why what I did was wrong. Hmm. I guess they put more thought into that than I expected them too. I won't bore you with all 162 of the alleged reasons, but I'll give you a few highlights.
“…a danger to himself and others…”, “…questionable grasp on reality…”, “…makes weird faces…”, “…thinks Quidditch is a real sport…”

The Sideways Smile
Advice On Girls #1
At first I suggested that he just ask her, but that didn't go over well. He's a little on the shy side. So, I asked him if he knew if she had Googled him yet. He kind of tilted his head to the side, kind of like a confused puppy then slowly answered yes.
I happily told him that she was very interested in him and that he should ask her out on a real date.
The lesson to be learned here is that women will only Google a guy if she is interested in pursuing some kind of relationship with him. So, if you know a woman who mentions off hand that she has Googled you... immediately ask her out.
You're welcome.

Shaking Spider-Man To His Core
That would be like saying you were excited about having tacos for dinner, but you never actually bought the meat, cheese or toppings. Just plain silliness.
Well fear not true believers. I'm going to make up for the lack of Spidey related posts starting right now and I'm going big right out of the gate.
How big is big, you ask. How about I start by busting one of the greatest myths in comic-dom.
"With great power comes great responsibility". Never has a more awe-inspiring phrase ever been spoken... or in this case, written.
For those of you who have been living in The Vault for the last 40 years or so, 'With great power comes great responsibility' is the motto by which Peter Parker/ Spider-Man lives his life.
Without that simple principal to help guide him, who knows what kind of man Peter Parker would have become. Let alone what kind of hero.
I guess we all owe Uncle Ben a debt of gratitude for that... You know. For when he sat Peter down on their front porch and as the sun slowly set in the distance, Uncle Ben explained the concepts of power and responsibility. You remember that, right? It was in Amazing Fantasy #15... The big talk... The one where Uncle Ben says that famous phrase, ' With great power comes great responsibility'. You really still don't remember it?
I suppose I can understand you forgetting. Especially since Uncle Ben never actually said it.
- You take the good/ You take the bad. You take them both and there you have... The Facts of Life
- Good deeds are the sprinkles on life's ice cream
- Kick butt. Take names. Let God sort them out.
- don't be a zero. Be a Hero
I could go on, but trust me, they don't get any better. No sense in putting you through all that pain and suffering. The premier is in just two days and this is supposed to be a happy and joyful time. And so maybe Uncle Ben didn't say 'With great power comes great responsibility'. You know he eventually would have said it, so I still give him credit.
Now go dig out your favorite Spider-Man t-shirt, pre-buy your tickets online and I'll see you at the theater.

No Peep Left Behind
Just Born, the makers of those magnificently marvelous masterpieces known as Peeps, held a press conference today to announce the implementation of their zero waste policy.
This means that like the great hunters of yore, Just Born will let no grain of flavored sugar go to waste.
It's thanks to this policy that Just Born will soon be able to introduce three new products into their line of Peeps products.
Peeps Chick Feed are small bags of sugar that kids can feed to their Peeps to help them grow up big and strong. This comes in a variety of colors and flavors.
Peeps Poops are delicious chocolate treats collected fresh daily from the cages the Peeps live in. Its then melted down and molded into fun shapes kids everywhere are sure to enjoy.
Peeps Zombies are those Peeps that end up looking not quite right after they are made. Thanks to some fluke the head maybe flat or they might have a chunk missing out of the side. Normally, these Peeps are just melted back down and re-molded, but now thanks to the 'no waste policy' these Peeps get packaged up and get a second chance at life.
Personally, I'm excited for all three of these products. However, one man's love does not a successful product make. I suppose we will find out eventually how well these products are received. And I'm guessing if the response is positive we will see even more additions to this new eco friendly line which could be pretty interesting.

Tear It Up Clothing
The SyFy Original Movie Mega List
Lately, I have put a lot of thought into the movies I like to watch, and also how much effort seems to go into defending those movies.
I am a fan of the 'B movie', mostly in the sci-fi and horror genres. Its hard not to love how campy they are, the bad acting, the cheesy monsters and the off-the-wall plots. But what I love most of all are the movie titles.
When people or even my girlfriend ask me what I watched over the weekend, its fun to drop a title like, Mega Shark Vs Mecha Shark. I can always tell by their expressions that they aren't a 100% sure if I really did watch that movie or I'm just making stuff up, because I don't want them to know how I spend my weekends.
To help those unsure people out, I've scoured the internet and pooled together a list of every SyFy Original movie ever made. This way if someone you are talking to mentions the name of some too-weird-to-be-true cheesy movie, you can just consult this list to see if it really does exist or if they are just to polite to tell you to mind your own business.
*Note: The titles below are all real. I didn't make up any of them... even though it might seem like I did. Also, they aren't in alphabetical order. Deal with it.

The Cover Up: DIY Light Switch Covers
Spray paint or use a brush to paint the top of the light switch cover. I did about three layers.
Figure out how you want to lay out your picture. Keep in mind you will be cutting out the center to some degree. I just held my picture on the light switch cover then held it up to light so I could see where the hole would be. Once I knew how I wanted it to look I cut out the photo to fit.
Glue the picture down. What I did is brush some Modge Podge on to the area of the light switch where I would be putting the picture. Then I put the picture down and positioned it where I wanted to be. Next I took another piece of paper and put it over the photo. I used an old credit card to rub over the piece of paper. This helps get rid of any air bubbles and firmly attaches the picture to the light switch cover.
