Dunk Tank
Friday
July 2, 2004
We had a fun day today at work, as it was a "Pot Luck" lunch day (the highlight of which was the Baked Ziti that Michael Goldman brought in -- man that was delicious) followed by some of the managers here climbing into a dunk tank for a little good natured competition. Productivity might've taken a back seat as a result, but it did boost morale of those involved. The best was Beaner (Tom Bean), Bubba's agent, up there talking smack to the people who paid to throw balls at the lever. There were some pretty funny moments involved in that.

The weekend should be fun. Tonight I'm going to Sidesplitters in Tampa, where
Murv Seymour from Channel 10 is doing his stand-up act and where people are meeting up to say goodbye to Jamie Anderson, who's heading up to Maine. Beyond that... let's just say there are options a'plenty for the weekend. And that's even with the whole trip to Chicago to meet up with Shauna and see the Counting Crows in concert falling through.
I finally found a picture I'd been looking for from late 1998 of me at Harlaxton College in Grantham, England. This picture I'd wanted in particular back when the Predators were playing the Red Wings in the Stanley Cup playoffs (as referenced in this column) to show that my support for the Preds wasn't some bandwagon deal. The colors look a bit blurry in the pic, but that's because it was taken with a mid-price range digital camera from that era (1998). Technology advancement is a wonderful thing.
So much for the Devil Rays and their short-lived time above .500 -- they've fallen on a bit of a losing skid as of late. Oh well, it was one hell of a run while it lasted.
Scott Massey pointed me in the direction of a rather funny column about a "Macho Man" Randy Savage CD signing from last year (which is one of only two pages to come up when you do a search for "Hogan, you coward" -- one of Savage's uninspired catchphrases on his pathetic CD). It's too bad that Matthew F. Smith (the guy who wrote the column) wasn't a Bubba The Love Sponge listener -- he would've really been able to punk him out. But so it goes...
