I'm just a guy with a pension of occasional insanity and the occasion for misadventures in airplanes. I also seem to be an aspiring writer, if I can ever get myself to sit down and write, which, by the way, makes it interesting as to how I'm an aspiring writer considering that I'm also an aspiring engineer. The two aren't supposed to be together.

But please enjoy whatever it is that I ramble about whether it be sports, news, or just anything that I decide to blog about.

  Playing Assassin's Creed 2

  I'm just going to let some of my friends tackle the joys of playing AC2.
  
  ----------------------------------
  
  JD pops AC2 into the 360 and quickly finds a groups of guards to fight.
  
  Stun bomb.
  
  Knife wound.
  
  Knife wound.
  
  Knife wound.
  
  Knife wound.
  
  Ah there seems to be a mess here. Let me - oh ****ing hell! I was mugged.
  
  Chase after thief.
  
  Catch thief.
  
  Watch thief plea for mercy.
  
  Laugh at the thief and poison him.
  
  Watch the thief go insane as the poison reaches his nervous system.
  
  Return to the battle scene.
  
  Time to clean this mess up.
  
  Locate the nearest hay bale.
  
  Toss bodies into bale.
  
  There. No battle took place.
  
  Paul leans over to whisper into Yagr's ear.
  
  "Is there a reason JD narrates while he plays the game?"
  
  "Not really. But we do only have one TV and a ****load of popcorn. So I say we enjoy it while it lasts."
  
  "Claymore to the freaking head," JD narrates.
  
  "I love it when he does that," Yagr mentioned in between mouth fulls.
  
  -----------------------------------------
  
  In a word or two, AC2 is freaking awesome.
  
  Imagine a Bostonian accent when reading the above .

  Weather Pics

  So I just happened to have my camera ready when I got some nice pics of the weather here.
  
  
  
  I don't know about you, but lightning is awesome.
  
  
  
  And it snowed a couple of weeks ago. It doesn't snow here too often, but when it does it has me excited. I mean c'mon, snow is sweet. You can hit people with projectiles. Unfortunately the snow melted a few hours later .

  International Pun Contest

  So I received this in an email from my Dad and thought I'd share. I did not write any of this, and neither did my Dad. But it's fun nonetheless.

  International Pun Contest

  The ability to make and understand puns is considered to be the highest level of language development. Here are the 10 first place winners in the International Pun Contest:

  1. A vulture boards an airplane, carrying two dead raccoons. The stewardess looks at him and says, "I'm sorry, sir, only one carrion allowed per passenger."

  2. Two fish swim into a concrete wall. One turns to the other and says, "Dam!"

  3. Two Eskimos sitting in a kayak were chilly, so they lit a fire in the craft. Unsurprisingly it sank, proving once again that you can't have your kayak and heat it too.

  4. Two hydrogen atoms meet. One says, "I've lost my electron." The other says, "Are you sure?" The first replies "Yes, I'm positive."

  5. Did you hear about the Buddhist who refused Novocain during a root canal? His goal: transcend dental medication.

  6. A group of chess enthusiasts checked into a hotel and were standing in the lobby discussing their recent tournament victories. After about an hour, the manager came out of the office and asked them to disperse. "But why?", they asked, as they moved off. "Because," he said, "I can't stand chess-nuts boasting in an open foyer."

  7. A woman has twins and gives them up for adoption. One of them goes to a family in Egypt and is named "Ahmal." The other goes to a family in Spain ; they name him "Juan." Years later, Juan sends a picture of himself to his birth mother. Upon receiving the picture, she tells her husband that she wishes she also had a picture of Ahmal. Her husband responds, "They're twins! If you've seen Juan, you've seen Ahmal."

  8. A group of friars were behind on their belfry payments, so they opened up a small florist shop to raise funds. Since everyone liked to buy flowers from the men of God, a rival florist across town thought the competition was unfair. He asked the good fathers to close down, but they would not. He went back and begged the friars to close. They ignored him. So, the rival florist hired Hugh MacTaggart, the roughest and most vicious thug in town to "persuade" them to close. Hugh beat up the friars and trashed their store, saying he'd be back if they didn't close up shop. Terrified, they did so, thereby proving that only Hugh can prevent florist friars.

  9. Mahatma Gandhi, as you know, walked barefoot most of the time, which produced an impressive set of calluses on his feet.. He also ate very little, which made him rather frail and, with his odd diet, he suffered from bad breath. This made him (Oh, man, this is so bad, it's good) a super calloused fragile mystic hexed by halitosis.

  10. And finally, there was the person who sent ten different puns to friends, with the hope that at least one of the puns would make them laugh.

  
  
  No pun in ten did
