Weekly Goodies

Hey! On Mondays I'm gonna put together a week of stuff so you can see a week of stuff all week!

Here's a week of stuff! Mix Tape at the end too! Do it up! Share! [email protected]

So I was reading Tom from U. Tennessee's annoyance about bad roommates and I'm pretty sure we should hook up his old roommate with my old roommates. Here are some of the annoyingggggggggg things they did.

-One of my roommates was really fat and super lazy. Her diet consisted of Pasta Roni....oh yeah..and shredded cheese...I havn't a clue why she is fat.

-This same roommate (who was obviously not the most attractive person) would meet boys off of hotornot.com and invite them over. As you can imagine, they were creepy. One of the guys said he was 23 but looked about 38. He would stay overnight and walk around our house in his boxers after she had gone to work and drink our coffee and eat our food and call me and my other roommate creepy things like "babe". To make matters worse, this same creep took a bunch of pictures of mine and other girls' backends on his phone and "sent them to his friend". We didn't know he was doing this until he had been doing it for a while.

-This same roommate didn't mind living in her own filth. She never ever did dishes unless we asked her like 10 times. All her dishes that needed to be hand washed would sit on the counter for ever. We started tallying the days on the fridge how long they sat and I almost started putting them on her pillow. Thinking back..I should have. One night I asked her if she could take the dishes out of the dishwasher (cuz we had been living there for about 3 months and she hadn't touched the damn thing yet) and she said she couldn't because she had so much homework. The whole night she sat on the couch and watched MTV.

-This same roommate was a major hypochondriac and she was allergic to everything. I often joked that she was even allergic to herself and then one day she came home from the doctor (a common occurrence) and she said she is allergic to her own tears...WHAT??? Once I had to go into her room for something and I could not even get in there was so much sh*t everywhere. Not only that, there were kleenexes pouring out of her garbage can that were strewn across the floor. And her room smelled. I never saw the girl do laundry. And she never once washed her bed sheets during the time I lived there (and remember, she is inviting hotornot.com internet boys over and having nasty fat sex with them). Once I confronted her and asked why she never did laundry and she said she had enough clothes to last a while...yeah right. She also would periodically take all her laundry home to her mom (who lives 3 hours away) when our washer and dryer was right down the stairs.

-I also shared a bathroom with this roommate. I always went to Costco to buy those big packs of toilet paper and figured they would buy the next time. So we finally ran out of toilet paper (i kept a hidden roll) and I refused to buy anymore. My roommate didn't go buy toilet paper for at least a week....I don't even wanna know what she was wiping with.
-I got along with the other roommate up until she started not giving a sh*t about anything either. She's the type of girl that wears high heels around the house (and in the dead of winter), colors her hair once a week, and is darker than most black people from tanning so much. She, too, stopped wanting to do dishes. So basically I was doing dishes for 4 people. One day I thought it might be interesting to stop giving a sh*t myself and so I ignored the dishes. I have never seen such a huge pile of dishes in my life. It got so huge that my tanorexic roommates boyfriend ended up doing them at 2 in the morning (but then again he was whipped).

-So ms. tanorexic turned 21 in the time I was living with her and I spent a few nights studying for tests listening to her barf her guts out. I'd also wake up around 2:30 am a lot of weeknights (since I had gone to bed at 10 so I could get up for my 8 am class) because she would come home from the bars with her clan and clomp around on the hardwood floors with her heels and pretty much yell things like " HEHEHAHAHA OH MY GOD I'M SO FU*KING DRUNK HEHEHAHHAHAHEHE". Then they would blast the music and start cooking something. SO F'IN ANNYOING! Oh, and then they wouldn't wake up until 3 pm the next day and they would spend the rest of the day talking about how drunk they were, how drunk they are gonna get, and so on...I about went crazy.

I'm pretty sure I could write a novel on all the annoying things they did. 7 months into living with these monsters, I broke my lease and got my own place and I have never enjoyed living alone SO much. FU*K ROOMMATES! :)

Tuesday's Lunch Recipes!

-----------------------------------------------------

Hey todd!

Hey you know how people write recipes to you and tell you to drain your beef after you cook it?

If you need to drain it, it isn't cooked. Browning meat means cooking it 'till it crackles and all the juices have evaportated.

All the beefy flavors come out at THAT time - even the smell changes.

Try cooking it all the way through - it makes a heck of a difference.

Use a little oil if your pan is not non-stick. And make sure it is hot before you put you meat in.

Breakfast ( or whenever) Burritos

1 or 2 eggs

2 breakfast Sausage ( links or pattys...it's an old debate)

1 jalapeno (seeds removed) ( sure you can skip this but it adds alot of yumm )

2 cups of Frozen Hash browns

1 burrito sized tortilla

Cut the sausages in to 1/4" bits ( smaller slices if you are using links). Cut the Jalapeno in to thin slices, try to get rid of the seeds. get out a small frying pan and get it medium hot, Add sausage and continue to cook till just before GBD (Golden brown delicious) add jalapenos and Hashbrowns.Mix the ingredients till well incorperated. and let the hash browns get...well, brown. once brown scrape aside a bare spot and crack your egg into it. turn down your heat to medium. Scramble your egg. and cook till firm. Add salt and pepper to taste. ( or if you are like me a liberal helping of hot sauce ) Warm your Tortilla and insert filling. Fold. Eat.

The reason that i love this recipe is that it is tasty and it's easy and cheap ( i once figured the per serving cost to be less than a dollar) and you are eating in like 10 minutes. Enjoy!

Thanks Todd you helped me feel not so bad about being dirt poor and unemployed.

Todd,

We had talked about Old Friends a few times(a horse rescue that I volunteer with). I wanted to let you know that People magazine did a short profile on our President and the rescue. It was in the Brad and Angeline issue. I have several copies if you want to see it I can mail it to you. It was so cool to see it although not my manliest moment buying ten issues of the Brad/Angeline issue—got some funny looks at the newstand. Anyway good vibes…..

~~Tim

Btw I bought my first race horse….her name is Miss Hooligan…the first picture is 7-6-08 then the next one is 2 weeks later and then 2 weeks later again…she is making a great comeback…she goes back to the track in about a week. If she wins I’ll email you the “win” photo.

Hey Todd! I just wanted to send you a quick thank you for the cartoons. They really helped during the times when being positive and having faith didn't seem possible. You'll be getting a tip in the mail after my first check comes in. Thanks again!

Subject: Olympics
Date: Thu, 14 Aug 2008 13:39:17 +0000

Hey Todd,

Been a little while since I have written you. Hope all is well.

Anyways, the reason I am writing you is the Olympics and the Russian dilemma. It just seemed that Russia and the U.S. were always neck and neck when it came to the Olympics (specifically gymnastics ect.) And with nearly a week passed in the Olympics, I haven't heard a peep about Russia.

Do you think because of the conflict at hand with Russia that the perps from the U.S. are talking to the U.S. Olympic producers about censoring Russia's presence in the Olympics.

I have nothing concrete to actually support this theory accept my first hand-half assed-attempt to watch the Olympics. But as a viewer, it should hold a little water. Right? Maybe? Dunno.

Thoughts?

tOdd,

Just read your piece about brushing doggie teeth. It was great! Our
two get their teeth brushed every night.

There's a great veterinarian dental specialist at Angell Memorial
hospital here in Boston, Dr. Rosenblad. We're really lucky to have
him. Although we were already sold on brushing their teeth before we
went to him, we're even more convinced now.

So, good on you, Mr. tOdd. Now that Roscoe has a nice, clean mouth,
and you are brushing his teeth, he may never have to be put under for
another dental procedure.

I'm attaching a picture of our dogs, Jacqueline and Charlie, aka
Chuckles the Clown (you have kindly printed a couple of his letters on
your website). They wish Roscoe, and you, happy times.

Subject: Your Old TVs

Hey Todd -

I just stubled upon your website blog thing and read the post you wrote about your old TV collection.
It's funny because I have the EXACT SAME PLANS you do ! Over the past several years I have gathered
together several old console TVs that I plan to restore when I'm an old man !!
Don't give that dream up !!! Those old TVs really are things of beauty, american ingenuity and character !
Just think of all the wonderful programming that was broadcast over those sets back in the golden age
of television !

One of my sets does still work, a 1951 Westinghouse, and, with the channel changer clicked on channel 3,
I can watch old-time television shows like The Honeymooners or Lassie or Twilight Zone by simply connecting
a DVD player to the TV ! Just buy a little connector from Radio Shack that hooks onto the two screws in
the back of your old TVs. The other end of the connector is a standard cable plug that you just screw the
cable into. So don't give up your dream just because broadcasts are turning digital! Just connect a DVD player to your old sets!
I'm starting to learn old tube radio repair and from that I'll advance to TV sets.
It's primarily all a matter of replacing capacitors anyway so I really don't think it'll be too hard for us future old men to do.

So ... hang on to those treasures !

I can remember this one time in Jr. High School I was walking down the corridor at the end of the day and there was this one chick in front of me named Kristy walking with a couple of her girl friends. She was wearing these nice cute really tight-ass denim jeans that really turned me on, so I just could not resist giving her a good pinch on the butt. "Big Mistake!" She turned around and nailed me right square in the balls with a devistating kick. It hurt really, really bad, believe me!. I can rembember being on the ground for about twenty five minuites in excruiating painful agony and listening to her friends and a few other students laughing at my misfortune which soon stopped after I started vomiting while trying to recover and stand up.

Needless to say I did not make it to school the next day due to bruising and soreness in my testicles along with stomach pain. For the rest of that year I would always hear chuckles, snickers and laughs from some of the girls and other students and when I did cross paths with Kristy I could never again look at her straight in the eyes, though I could tell she would be smiling from remembering that expirience and I'm sure it must have given her and the other girls who witnessed it a greater sense of pride and self-esteme knowing that females are more dominate over vulnerable males when it comes down to it. I learned a good lesson that day and will never again pinch a girl on the ass. Oh, the agony of defeat by a female!
