Coffee Maker

Why is it that when I'm at work and I go and get some coffee and the coffee pot has about 1/2 of an ounce in it?? I understand that if you are the person that takes the last of the coffee, that you are supposed to make a new pot. Lets be honest, leaving anything less than half a cup left constitutes taking "the last". 

Making coffee is not that difficult people!

Steps:

1. Locate Filter basket and remove from coffee maker.
2. Throw away filter/grounds
   
3. Put in new filter and fill with Coffee grounds
   
4. Place filter basket in Coffee maker
   
5. Push BREW button.
   

Wow. Wasn't that easy?

I propose a new rule: If anyone leaves less than 1/2 a cup of coffee in the bottom of the pot and doesn't make a new pot, the remainder of the pot is poured directly on their lap, preferably steaming hot.

Who is with me??

Andrea Kramer Drinking Game

I hate Andrea Kramer. She's got the intelligence of my dog's back left leg. In honor of such an intelligent lady, I have come up with a new drinking game to try when you are trying to watch Sunday night football.

Stares blankly at the camera - 1 drink

Mis-pronounces a name - 2 drinks

Looks at her notes - 2 drinks

Looks at her notes more than once - 4 drinks

Mentions Tom Brady - 5 drinks

She gives a report but is not shown on TV - 0 drinks, Consider yourself lucky!

She starts looking even remotely good looking - Chug until you can't see.

	# of drinks
Stutters	1
stares blankly at the screen	1
mis-pronounces a name	2
Looks at her notes	3

Also-Ran

I hate this term. I think it should be banned. Its supposed to be a slap in the face of the person they are talking about, but in my opinion, it makes the user look like an uncreative idiot.

While I'm at it, I also hate "stay-cation". If your going to just sit at home and eat Cheetos just say that. No need to call it anything fancy!

Technology Rocks!

Why does technology Rock?
Today I was on the El heading to work. I always read the newspaper on the way to work and like everyone who reads the paper, I end up with ink on my finger tips. On my way down I wiped my face with my hand and immediately wondered if I had any ink smudge on my face. How to remedy the situation? TECHNOLOGY!
I wiped out my Motorola Q and took a picture of my face. After admiring my face for a while i checked and there was no smudge.
Good thing there wasn't any because I didn't pay the extra to get the wet wipes attachment for my phone.
Technology Rocks!

McDonalds

So Every time i eat at McDonalds, i swear it will be the last time. However, every time I feel hung over or just not right, i eat there and I start feeling better. Then I start thinking about what I just ate and my stomach starts getting a little upset again. I'm not sure what McD's puts in their grease, but my stomach seems to like it, and then hate it.
So I went to the McD's website today to hav a look at the "nutritional" facts. I was astounded. I knew stuff wasn't very good for you, but it was worse than I thought!

Here is the break down:

Its good to know that I got 137% of my cholesterol and 75% of my Saturated fat intake for the day. Those two are the hardest to obtain!

WOW!
