A local Evansville resident has posted a very interesting item on eBay.  joehilarious has posted a Tea Party Foam Finger, starting at just $6.00!  The foam finger is 18" long and contains the wording 'No Higher Taxes' in bold print.

Interesting way to protest and saves the time of making your own sign.  I bet this guy might even allow for local pickup, to discuss the current situation the effects of the Stimulus Package.

Met with some friends out at Showplace East last night for the new Sacha Cohen movie Bruno.  Now, this typically isn't the type of movie I'd be interested in seeing, but I needed a distraction and nothing is better at that than watching people in uncomfortable situations.  This movie did not fail to deliver.

Don't see this movie if you don't have a perverted sense of humor.  It's raunchy, full of male nudity, and enough absurd situations to make you cover your face in a dark movie theater.

As stated it does deliver a great distraction to day to day life.  I mustered a handful of laugh out louds and my friends also appreciated the slapstick actions of the flamboyant Bruno.  This being said I'm not quite sure it earned the full $10 price of admission.  But that's for a different discussion and no doubt the very reason the theater was less than a 1/4 of the way full on the second day of release.

Well, one of my great friends snapped this shot with her cell phone from an apartment complex on the East side. To be honest, I think it's a great reminder we all need to heed when going for a public swim. Although while thinking about it, this should apply to more things than just swimming and why doesn't the pool I use have this sign up?

I guess they just don't care.

Yeah, yeah, so I go golfing on a beautiful day and only take one picture.  Well, this one picture should put a smile on your face, at least it did the attendant in the club house at Howell Park on Saturday when I went golfing.

Maybe they should take this guy down, it is awfully close to the minature golf course.  And perhaps once they finish the pool it will be a lot busier and if you stare long enough it becomes a little offensive( or maybe just intimidating).

I listen to 89.1 The Bash every morning on my way into work, so this morning was no different.  The DJ this morning announced that 89.1 would be changing formats and DJ's to focus completely on country music.  And with this, I was quickly reminded that it's April 1st.

Be on the watch today Evansvillians, every company with a sense of humor will attempt to trick you.  This becomes especially true on the internet, where it's very easy to drop a few misguided, seemingly true, rumors.  One of my favorite social bookmarking hangouts Reddit.com decided to utilize a new template, which made it look very much like it's competitor Digg.com.

Funny.  Frustrating.  Something to talk about.  It's April 1st.   Happy April Fools Day all you fools.

Not too long ago, I saw something at the gun and pawn shop that sparked
my interest. The special occasion was our 10th wedding anniversary and I
was looking for a little something extra for my wife. What I came across
was a 100,000-volt, pocket/purse-sized taser. The effects of the taser
were supposed to be short lived, with no long-term adverse affect on your
assailant, allowing her adequate time to retreat to safety.
Needless to say, way too cool.
Long story short, I bought the device and brought it home. I loaded two
AAA batteries in the thing and pushed the button. Nothing! I was
disappointed. I learned, however, (by reading the directions) that if I
pushed the button AND pressed it against a metal surface at the same
time, I'd get a blue arc of electricity darting back and forth between
Unfortunately, I have yet to explain to my wife what that burn spot is
on the face of her microwave.
