PIE Time!


That is one sad looking piece of pie. Now I know why she really wanted to put whipped cream on top. Guess we should have let her.

The Meepers goes Big Time!


I went ahead and took the plunge! With the help of Tim, buying me a gift card to www.godaddy.com, I bought a domain name and some web space. The space is being set up and I will begin construction on the site this weekend and next week! But in the mean time if you go to www.themeepers.net, you will be redirected right back here.

I know sounds more professional. Why not www.themeepers.com you ask? Because someone already took it! I can pre-order it now, but it cost a few pennies more, and by that I mean double! It's only $20, but I aint going to forget the name the meepers, and i can't own the .com for 2 more years. If i get into building this site hardcore, you can bet I will buy the rights to the domain when it expires.

So what is the next step? Well Podcasts are the next step. I am not going to give up on this blog, although I will most likely move it over to my new space, or create a sub-domain that will link you here. The point of that is, this RSS feed is already set up with my Tumblr blog, and that already shares this blog with Facebook, Twitter and Word Press.

So that set up is already pretty good. Got to network the free social networking sights! No sense in using up paid bandwidth, when I can get some for free!

So what do you think of that logo? I did it in real fast. It is only a mock-up, but comments are appreciated. Also suggestions on what to do with the site would be cool. What would you like to see, read or hear.

Moving on.

I would like to share a link that Mr. Risk sent me yesterday. If the link does not load properly, and you will know if it didn't just refresh the page. And now I give you this rather large URL to click on. Don't let the size scare you, you will like the tidings it brings.

Yes it was this goat!
And yes this goat does sound like a man! If you have never seen that before and wish to view it alone and not as part of an amazing music mash up, you may click this blue text.

I like to share. And that is what The Meepers DOT Net will be! Sharing!

One more thing I just remembered, and allow m a short rant here. There was word that my 500 plaque was at Coopers under close guard to keep it safe from harm. Well a week ago this very night I attended a celebration of you will. A weekly celebration of life and love for beer. What do I see when I entered the doors of the blessed Mead Hall? New 500 plaques on the wall. None of which bore my name! Saddened by this sight, I buried myself into a tasty beer, and wallowed in the fact that I am moving away soon and will not be living 5 blocks from one of the best Mead Halls in existence.

What does that mean? It means two weeks from now, is moving day and I will no be around very much. So I will in turn not be able to see my plaque before I go. I will have to male plans with one of the Grant Clan to take a photo and send it to me when and IF it ever makes it to the walls. It was three and a half years in the making, I would like to see something for all the time and effort I put into drinking beer! Every one needs a goal right?

That is all, carry on.

The Big Time

Well now, it looks like after only 2 episodes MTV's new "Reality" TV show, The Jersey Shore, has hit the big time. It seems like it is Papa John's Nivea, LG and Burger King's loss for dropping sponsorship of this amazing show. You know you hit big time when TMZ does a segment on you. And after only two episodes have aired! (Well it is Wednesday night, so tomorrow there will be three episodes out there).

OK, lots of things to wrap up in these last 2 days. Got to run.

That is all, carry on.

Video Tuesday and TACOS!

I think we need to revisit this here blog post. This is flippin' great! I will not waist time talking this up, I will get right to it!



Brilliant! There is never enough parody for Lady Gaga. I mean come on, some people aren't even sure if she is a lady. But is or isn't, is not a concern of mine. Either way she (he) is ridiculous and lends her(him)self to a nice line of parody.

Moving on. I once had a dream of moving to The Big Easy and becoming mayor. After watching Down By Law, and all the corruption that the city faces, I wanted to make a change!
But I have changed my mind. Instead I am moving to New Orleans and voting for this man!


I mean seriously, with a platform like that, who can compete!? I know I would not only pale n comparison, but I would not even be a fly on the wall of this political battle.

And for the video finale today WE GOT THAT B ROLL!


And now for some serious business. This past Saturday night, Amy and I went to The Bog to see Marshmallow Staircase. When Jeff Gilotti play, we show up!

Side bar: Jeff Gilotti was also playing drums for Kid Icarus.

After Amy and I left The Bog, we made a conscious decision to go to DA Taco Truck. Our expectations were very low. Heck, we thought we were going to be very sick the next day, but we went out on a limb. And for the love of Sammy Davis Jr. (he only had one eye) they tacos were flippin' amazing!

Amy and I both only ordered one taco each. We both got the Falafel Taco. As he was making them for us Amy asked what is the best selling taco. He informed us that he has been pushing the Korean Short Rib Tacos. He said they were really good, so we put him to the test!

All I can say is OMG. That may have been the best taco I have ever eaten! We only got one, and we spilt that it. But the total for the 3 tacos was only $5! That was well worth it!

And I am very happy to report that neither of us got sick. In fact we wanted to go back for more! I think we will. And you should to! There were several people eating them in The Bog. Hence the reason we took that risk and bought a few.

If you don't want to click the link, or are blocked from Facebook at work, here is there menu:

RE-Post



I saw this post while flipping through the recommends on Google Reader. Thought this was interesting so I wanted to share. It comes to us from gothamist DOT com. Here is their blog entry on this here topic. Click this blue text to be redirected to their post.

"The Google street view car has captured plenty of odd incidents since its creation. Pat Kiernan points to a recently discovered one in Manhattan, taken at 29th and Park — where a collapsed (possibly dead?) man lay on the street as a crowd gathers around him. It strikes us odd that Google seems to have taken the steps to not only blur, but pixelate the man's face... why not just remove that section of the block until a reshoot is possible?"

Well now, we have all seen crazy things on Google street view, like the fake Sampson Way episode in Pittsburgh. But they may have hit a new low after hitting that deer. But who knows, the man passed out could have been staged as well. Oh well, it makes for entertainment.

And entertainment we need. The world is becoming a deep dark place, and we all need to watch out. And watch out I am.

I interviewed for a position this week and I must say, I think it went really well. I may have a leg up on my competition, and that is something I need right now. I know what my weekend has in store for me. Learning. I have learned some already, but not enough. I am going to get on that now. Then Monday send out an email or two and hopefully seal my fate.... in a good way.

OK, short post today. Got to get on that horse.

That is all, carry on.

The creepy glow of 100 little men! That's right, 100 little men. I am sitting at Micky Gannons waiting of some amazing wings. These are great! You should come and eat some to!

Sausage Fingers!


OK, so this blog is not really about sausage fingers, it is about something much, much better. The Sausage Pocket! The prototype was brought to us by the gang over at Always Sunny in Philadelphia. Frank decided he wanted a tasty treat of sausage any time without the mess. So in his urge for a delicious treat on the go, he gave us the idea for the all new, custom made Sausage Pocket.

We are currently beta testing to find even better ways to implement the Sausage pocket. Here are a few shots of a user in public:

The Collegiate Hoodie Sausage Pocket series. Here we see the PSU hoodie.

Before her horrific accident, and happy she has the pocket.


This is our new Shirt/Jacket Sausage Pocket Combo.

As you can tell this is after her horrific accident of having her face punched off. She is very sad because she can not bite the golden treat due to the fact she no longer has a mouth.


New addition! The Puree Sausage Cup Pocket.

As you can see, she is much happier now that we came up with the new, Solar Powered Sausage Blender and Puree Sausage cup pocket. Now she can still enjoy her career as a knife throwing Carny. You may not be able to tell, but that is a smile on her new mouth hole.

The Button Down Sausage Pocket, for the formal occasion.

Here we can see just how hands free a Sausage Pocket makes your life! Tim is so happy he doesn't have to touch his sausage to eat it. He even loves this.....
