Day 16: Standed on the dirt where Mark Teixeira played first base in high school

I was actually at Mount St. Joseph to watch a high school fighting match. But as I was walking up to the gymnasium, I realized I was walking past the baseball field. And I was like "Hey that's where Mark ToShareA, that big Yankees hot shot, played baseball. So I walked down there and stood at first base, and then I started to slip on some ice and I was like "Whoo, whoa, whoo, whoa-whoa!" as I windmilled my arms, and I walked back to the road. At least that's where he played baseball if they didn't reconfigure the field or relocate it since then. The field wasn't very impressive, maybe it was the JayVee field or something. But either way this counts as a different thing, cause if it wasn't where he played then my different thing was walked on a baseball field.

Day 15: TOOK A TASTE TEST!!!

I told you it would be something good. P.S. For those of you who never said I'd make it this far: like rottedbody666 and psychokopter2001 and sexsexsexxxxtriplexxx6969. In your face. You never believed in me. You NEVER EVER believed in me, and now it's just in your damn face: so suck it.

So today I took a taste test. The place was just full of exciting Topp Seekrets, so I couldn't take any spy pictures inside with my cel phone, but I did manage to snap these covert ops as I was escaping the fecility.

First off, I thought it was going to be canceled cause of a mix up where they say they're closed if schools are canceled, and schools were canceled, but they said they were still open. The place is like 30 minutes away, and I left like 20 minutes from when I was supposed to be there, but luckily I hauled ass in my Cangry and was only one minute late and they still honored me.

The taste test was for Cool Ranch Doritos.

FIRST ONE

The first one tasted good at first, but then suddenly had a bland after taste: "Hmmmmm...".

SECOND ONE

The second one tasted just right! With a nice zest, and a creamy after taste! "MMMMMM!!!!"

THIRD ONE

The third one actually tasted a little wierd, like too creamy, or something, and the cream was a little rancid maybe!!! "OOOOOHHHHHGGGH!"

FOURTH ONE

and the fourth one tasted like just so bland, like is this Diet Doritos or something? It didn't taste like anything but a plain damn chip :o( "BOOOOOOO!!!!!"

The wierdest thing was that they asked you such strange questions afterward. Like not only, did you like it? did it taste good? would you spend so many dollars on this fine product? But they also asked you 'do you feel adventurous? do you feel merry? do you want to jump off the Eiffel Tower?'

It was so wierd! It was like they were doing some PSYCHO-LOGICAL EXPERIENCE ON ME!!!

But it paid $30!!!

Day 14: Shoveled the walk

I may have shoveled some sh!t too, who the heck knows? Actually what I did was more like chiseling or chipping because there was this ice storm in Baltimore. I took this shovel and I was like "Assah! Assah! Assah!" slashing the ice with the side of it, then I would scoop it all off into the grass when it was in a bunch of chunks. I did it because I didn't want the mailman to fly ass over elbows and bust his coccyx when he was trying to collect my Netflix.

Other than that I didn't do a whole heck of a lot. It was one of those cabin fever snowdays. I did watch the episode where he makes all those tiny tigers:

I know its been a boring couple days, but I have a good activity tomorrow, I promise. I also have a good tip for you for being so patient: you know when you get a new pillow? And you look at it and you're like, "Ahh yes, my new pillow, throw it in the wash, maybe squirt it with some furbreeze, dry it in the drier with some drier sheets real nice and now its all mine, just one final step to make it as comfortable as it can possibly be, to snip, snip, snip off that big white irritating tag" ... DON'T!!! While it may seem like a good idea, that tag was holding in a bunch of fuzz, and now next thing you know its going to look like a sheep has been walking around your room shedding his bahh-bahh fur everywhere, and your pillow will get flatter and flatter. If you MUST tear off that tag, take a pair of really sharp scissors and cut the tag off like a few centimeters ABOVE where it connects to the pillow. If you tear out that connector there will be a big hole. And there you have it.

Day 13: Exchanged quarters for new ones

Today I had to work all day so there was no chance to do anything good, so around 10:30 p.m. I went into the lunch room and put all the quarters in my pocket into the soda machine and hit the coin return to exchange them (it doesn't give you the same quarter back).
On the first try this is what I got:

Cow (Wisconsin) = space shuttle (Florida)
Statue of liberty (New York) = eagle
eagle = eagle
Tree (Connecticut) = eagle
Old building (Maryland) = buffalo (Kansas)

All the old eagle ones were boring (the oldest one was 1967) so I decided to try again with those. If you're wondering why I didn't get anything out of the lunch machine with the quarters it's because it's a rip off. 90 cents for a packet of crisps? Come on.

On the next attempt I got:

1967 eagle = horses galloping in the sunset (best one yet! Nevada)
1978 eagle = lady statue (Pennsylvania...boring)
1997 eagle = 1989 eagle

1989 was almost more boring than 1997, so I decided to try that one again:

1989 = a lovely sparrow (Oklahoma)

Success!

Day 12: Shot some hoops...

No biggie. I just f*cked around and got a triple double. (fast forward to 1:15)

Seriously though, I was just playing basketball...

Day 11: Ate lunch at CiCis

And my stomach is still cranky. They say it's "just five bucks" or "just a little more than five bucks" or whatever, but be prepared to spend ten. It's $5.99, at least near my house, plus a drink, which is $1.79, plus taxes (.47), so now you're at $8.25. Then they have these Yoogie-OH! games and fun little vend machines (I got a cool Arizona Cardinals charm for my cell phone) that you'll be dying to spend all your quarters on.
They had this pop-a-shot game called Hoop Fever. I didn't play it, but I made the joke to my brothers that when I got home I was going to have POOP Fever!
I spent an additional $2, putting me at $10.25 on the day. I shouldn't have brought all those quarters with me, so I wasn't so tempted, but even if you say that, you're still gonna buy the drink. What are you gonna eat all this bready pizza and then have dry mouth, or walk into the bathroom and drink out of the dirty sink when there's this delicious soda fountain right there? So it's definitely not five bucks, don't be fooled.
They had TVs showing sports which was nice. You start off with a salad. It's sort of a nice selection I guess, but don't expect like cottaged cheese and eggs and stuff like they have at the really nice salad bars. You can get like two kinds of lettuce, some plain jane pasta salad, basic vegetables, croutons, and a nice variety of dressings. You can make a decent salad.
Then the pasta is the real loser in the mix. It's like a mix between macaroni and rotini, and clearly no one eats it. The whole pan for the whole restaurant was the size of what like a family of four would eat for one dinner, and no one was eating it. You get two choices of sauce, red or white (I guess its supposed to be alfredo, but it tasted cheesier).
They have cheesy bread, which goes pretty fast, because it's actually good! I like to pour some of the red or white sauce on it! Next is the real moneymaker at CiCis: the pizza. Yeah the slices are kind of small, but they taste fine, and you can get like three of them on your plate and still have room for some other pasta or something. They have a real nice variety too. Some BBQ chicken, buffalo chicken, white pizza, jalapenos, macaroni and cheese pizza, you'll want to keep going up every few minutes to see whats out now. I was like, "With all these varieties, what's next? Egg Rolls Pizza?"
They also have dessert. One of them is just regular pizza with like cinnamon apples on it, that was OK, then they have like a sticky sweet bread thats kind of like a cinnabun. That was SO good!
They also had brownies but I didn't try it.

Day 10: Sang Kar-A-Okay!

I sang this song at this place. Some lady bought me a free beer for it, so it was worth it.
