  • Just what are the warning signs of a mid-life crisis anyway?

    I'm still waiting for a job offer. I also applied to be one of those assholes at the airport who scans your luggage. I'm hoping that also means I can strip search someone. And if so, I hope George W. Bush flies to Casper. I will have misplaced the lube.

    It's not the ideal job but it pays almost twice as much as the best paying job I have ever had. How much was that you ask? $6.50 an hour.

    I also have this idea for a business that I'm very sure would work but the people who own the buildings I would want to have the business in? They don't want to charge was I would consider reasonable rent. You know, the sort of rent I might be able to actually raise every month. And no, I didn't ever plan to own another business, although if jrat was serious I'd be willing to go halfsies on a bar.
    I bought a new razor a month or so ago. A Gillete Fusion razor. It has 700 blades and actually cuts your facial hair so close it goes forward in time to do it. It also has a vibrate feature. The vibrate feature gives me razor burn the likes of which I haven't had since they made single bladed razors and I tried to use the same blade for 3 years.

    So if you have sensitive skin like I do, just buy more blades for your Mach 3 and don't bother with this thing.
    A friend introduced me to the Tv show "How I Met Your Mother." It's pretty damn funny, I give it a thumbs up. I don't get any TV stations in the apartment , especially since they put on a metal roof (which has done wonders to turn the place into a dutch oven) so my TV knowledge is really limited, but here's some of what I find to be top notch:

    How I Met Your Mother
    Freaks & Geeks
    Undeclared
    Deadwood
    Carnivale
    The Wire
    Entourage
    Arrested Development
    Newsradio
    Sealab 2021
    Space Ghost
    BBC's The Office
    BBC's Black Books

    I've also seen some of Weeds which I liked and the first season of Supernatural which was better than I thought it'd be considering the station that produced it. I've heard Dexter is really good.

    You can file all that under "Who Cares?"

    the warning signs of midlife crisis = my posts for the last 3 years.

    Man, if I was out there I think I'd give the bar a shot!  Or maybe we'd have a couple shots and think on it a little while longer.

    I like how I met your mother too.
  • jrat
    does that make me gay?
  • longtimelurker

    Loved Carnivale, Deadwood and TG The Wire is still with us.  Never really cared for Entourage.  Celeb status just grates on me...

    Got room for another to buy-in on the bar?
  • solomon_grundie

    Depending on how play rehersal goes this weekend, I might get off around 4ish.  We should go see Knocked Up.  Or watch Deadwood or something.

    I haven't seen you in a grip and I'm feeling really bad about it.
  • CrapeDiem

    i think you're not pressing hard enough with that razor; the point is that you remove so many layers of skin with it that the hair is simply unable to grow back.  trust me, man, the ribbons of flesh means it's working.
  • ombrastarr
    wait, they make vibrating razors? isn't that, maybe, the worst idea EVER???
  • Mompa
    i hope you get the job... making a decent wage would be awesome!  and i really like How I Met Your Mother, too!!
  • AudioSnob
    Compromise. Go with the Schick Quattro. An excellent choice when three blades are not enough, yet five are too damned many.

    And I heard Dexter was good, as well. The books were good. I love me some Rome.
  • Monomyth
    I've wanted to see Supernatural.  I may have to check that out.
  • wickedgood
    Maybe you could shave your searchees. They might be hiding something under their stubble!
  • dustysea2001

    Signs of a midlife crisis--going to an airport for the opportunity to be stripseached by a guy named fleener.

    Hope you get the job.
  • Jeckon
    I think razors are getting more and more ridiculous...I admit I have thought about getting a different kind..I used to use the manly Mach 3..but now I destroy the environment with the full disposable ones...I think that the next step is to totally computerize it so it will just shave you if you program it....

    I'm sure nothing could go wrong there.

    Good luck with the strip search....


    .....job
  • jussforkix

    I love the Mach 3.

    I also loved Black Books, but The Office was way too close to the mark to be funny. I hated it.

    I'll come visit the bar as soon as you open. Will there be a good jukebox and a pool table ?
  • Fodon
    just get a straight edge and go for it man-style; dry shave.

    Or you can go for it the other man-style; get a gay barber to shave you.

    A fucking hummer just pulled into my cul-de-sac. I'm adding this to your blog for the 'who cares' theme. (btw i think hummers are the new sports cars for mid-life crisis. get yours yet?)
  • moontree_studios
    From the little I know of Wyoming- which is somewhat less than that of its inhabitants, but far more than people who don't live there- a bar is probably the *only* lucrative business scheme going in that there place. Mostly because of all the people having midlife crises.

    Also, the British version of The Office is way the hell funnier.
  • didntusedtobelumpy

    Well, I think both the British and the American Office are too funny.  So is Arrested Development.

    Hey, I used to be a bartender..........

    we care.
  • anonymous

    Freaks & Geeks was cringe-inducing comedy genious, despite the fact that the Atari 2600 episode turned out to be one of the more serious stories- a total bummer about divorce. That's ok though, I still love me some Linda Cardellini!

    And if you haven't already, you should go rent both seasons of The Venture Brothers RIGHT FRIGGIN' NOW!!!
  • ChuckUFarley
    hey I think there is a job fair at boise today

    It's 10

    I'm calling you at 1030

    I'm also listening to "what you know about that" by TI

    It's out of character so its funny

    Dude... I'm in Casper too and DON'T go to school.
    I work for an insurance company with two grumpy old men.
    That makes me bored as hell.
    The airport job you mentioned sounds a lot better.
    Frisking people on a daily basis... man. lucky.

    Plus, it would be funny to just be able to say
    "ma'am, I need to frisk you."
  • Orlando
    Hope all is well, where'd u go to?
  • rache

    yo yo weener, where you at.

  • anth0nyc
    hope your next post is about being hired.
  • anth0nyc
    i have tried literally all the manual shavers currently on the market an d found there's no difference between the expensive ones and the cheap ones.. i'm using the CVS drug store brand now with the same results...

    the batterypowered ones are a waste..
  • Jack_Daniels_Distillery
    yeah, i finally logged on to read your site... you should be proud of me! Guess I will be stopping by in another 6 months or so :P
