FRIDAY, MARCH 2, 2007 Road Trip
Ok, it's almost 3 a.m. and I have to get up for work in a few hours, so that's it. Oh yeah, I'll be at Helium Tuesday night. JH Posted by Justin Hagerman at 2:45 AM | Comment on the message board TUESDAY, MARCH 13, 2007 Mission AccomplishedThis past weekend Kelly and I escaped to Fenwick Island, DE, for a little R&R. Though she believed I wanted to get away to spend some quality time with her, I had a hidden agenda. If you read the previous post you will have learned that I have developed an unhealthy obsession with Hardee's, a fast food restaurant popular in the South, but not very close to West Chester. However, there is one two hours from here in Georgetown, DE, which happened to be on our travel route. Lo and behold, Sunday morning on the way back I finally tasted a Hardee's Monster Thickburger (click for pic), over 1,400 calories of mouth lovin'. I really wanted to try their awesome breakfast sandwich, the Monster Biscuit (see last blog), but we arrived 17 minutes late for breakfast. But make no mistake, the Thickburger was equally intimidating. I've included a slideshow to help document this major milestone in my life.
JH Posted by Justin Hagerman at 1:30 AM | Comment on the message board SATURDAY, MARCH 31, 2007 Nice While It LastedThis week has actually been pretty decent. Lately, with all the hardcore sh*tty things happening in my family's life, I've been feeling pretty blue. But Tuesday afternoon, I was pulling into the parking lot at work when I noticed that my night crew comrades were standing around outside. Now, it was sunny and 77 degrees out that day, so I figured they were just enjoying the great outdoors before heading inside to rot under the neon sunshine for eight hours. To my surprise, I was told that the power was out, as some generous person had driven into an electric transformer. The transformer was invented by Michael Faraday:
Mr. Faraday Now you'd think a large company which provides customers with media data 24/7 would have a back-up generator, but no. And thank God! Due to PECO's (as always) vague repair window of 1-48 hours, we were sent home, but dig this, with pay. We were told to be on standby for a few hours in case PECO managed to repair it, but knowing there was no way in hell that that was going to happen, we decided to head back to my place and get trashed. Long story short, we got paid to drink beer, eat pizza and play video games. We even managed to watch Paul's copy of The Cable Guy, a very underrated movie. Seriously, how awesome of a work day is that?! The week continued to kick ass until yesterday, when Kelly and I decided to check out a very old graveyard next door. Looking at all the old tombstones, I wondered what these people must have been like. Their whole life is summed up by a birth and death date, but everything in between is merely represented by a dash. So I came up with this ingenious idea of a headstone with a weather proof, solar powered video monitor which would show a five minute film about the person's life. I was instantly stoked to the highest level of stokedness. This was a great f**king idea! I was going to be rich!! Even Kelly, who thinks I'm a total idiot, thought it was a great idea. I did a quick search on the internet, and it appeared that no one else had thought of this. Goodbye, stand-up! Hello, orgies with Benjamin Franklins and Salmon P. Chases. (That was a joke about very valuable paper money. Mr. Chase is on the $10,000 bill, but don't ask me who the f*ck he is, because I haven't a clue. Evidently he's 10,000 times more important than George Washington, who was a fairly important guy.)
A $10,000 bill. Good for impressing chicks. But a few hours ago, as I was brainstorming ways to spend the ridiculous amount of money I would soon possess, Kelly, being the bitch that she is, found this site. Somehow, these assholes stole my idea, and they stole it two years ago. It even received a "Most Innovative Product Award." Bastards. To comprehend how crushed I was, imagine winning a $200 million Powerball, then learning that you have to split it with 500 winners. Granted, that's still a lot of money, but you'd be really pissed. That's how upset I am. I feel as disappointed as Helen Keller at a Pink Floyd Laser Show. (View this video to make that joke 10x funnier) Well, I'm off to kill myself. Be sure to get me a video headstone that shows that I killed myself over a video headstone, because that'd be pretty funny.
