You Know This - Thriller Legos

Check this out!

This had to take forever to create, and I appreciate every second of their time!!!

You Know This - Scary Foreign Object

So, my roommate Kim and I started decorating for fall, when we came across this...

What is it? That’s what we’d like to know! Our best guess is that it is some sort of government issued, spy tech, listening device. We are not sure why we would be monitored, but the only other thing it could be is a bomb. Or maybe some sort of a slow release gassing device that is slowly but surely poisoning us. That would explain my current headache.

Where did it come from? Again, another good question! I’m pretty sure Tom Cruise somehow lowered himself through our ceiling to hand off the device to Jennifer Garner while she set the rest of the traps around the living room. I just hope I come home to Vince Vaughn bugging our apartment one of these days!

What do we do with the device? What any logical person would do...we threw a dish towel over it!

If you have any clue what this is or who it belongs to, please let me know. Until then, I will be tiptoeing around the apartment, whispering to Kim about the current status of the device and praying that we don't get blown up.

You Know This - Saturday Night Education

Here are 5 things that I learned at church tonight...

• I am not very good at the off-brand version of Guitar Hero
• The phrase "moted, corroded, your butt just exploded" is not well known in Orange County
• I cannot pronounce the word "strategy"
• It’s very easy/fun to get jr. high girls to do the running man with you during worship
• How to say "squirrel poop" in German (it sounds like ice-schwan-shin-ka-kay)

You Know This - Ridiculous Lyrics

The song “Rockstar” by Nickelback really makes me laugh! I love it when songs have someone randomly talking in the background. My favorite line is “I’ll have the quesadilla, on the house”. Really? Someone was paid to write that?

Here are some other songs that have background talkers that I enjoy laughing at...

- “Leave” by Jo Jo
- “Forget About Dre” by Dr. Dre / Eminem / Snoop Dogg
- “There You Go” by Pink
- “Liquid Dreams” by O-Town
- “The Day I Suddenly Knew Kung Fu” by Jake Rutenbar
- “Yeah” by Usher / Lil Jon / Ludacris
- Just about anything written by Eminem

Let me know if you can think of any others!

You Know This - Disappointment

Well, I did highly enjoy seeing Jim and Pam together, but besides that, not much special about the season premiere.

You Know This - Mobster Robster

How stinkin' cute is my nephew Robbie! I know everyone thinks their family is the greatest, but really he is one of the smartest, funniest 7 year olds ever. If you don't believe me, go check out his blog. That's right, Robbie has a blog! He always comes up with these outrageous stories (and usually gets in big trouble for them) but now he has a place to share. So go check it out, give him some love, and enjoy!

You Know This - Biggest Fears

So, my friends and I were sharing our biggest fears at dinner the other night, and apparently mine are super abnormal! So strange that Allison and Allison told me that I MUST blog about them. So here you go...

My #2 Biggest Fear - The Wiener Dog

Explanation - When I was 6 years old, I was riding my big-wheel down the street with my ginormous old Rhodesian Ridgeback dog running along side me. Suddenly, out of nowhere came this vicious evil little monster from hell... aka a wiener dog! The two dogs started fighting and, as any naive child would do, I tried to stop them. The devil-dog jumped up and bit me in the ear, causing my fear of wiener dogs to run strong to this very day.

My #1 Biggest Fear - Dying of Internal Combustion

Explanation - Now, this obscure fear stems from watching a little show back in the 90's called Unsolved Mysteries. When I was 10 years old, I saw an episode about a man who was just sitting in his lazy boy chair when suddenly he turned to ash, leaving his clothes and shoes behind. I was so afraid that this would happen to me that I slept next to my parents bed every night, making my mom hold my hand. The thought here was that if I internally combusted in the middle of the night, my hand would turn to ash and my mom would know immediately that I was dead.

So, there you have it. My two biggest fears.

You Know This - Over-Blogger

I realize that I have posted 4 times now in one day. I apologize for the over-blogging. And I know this apology blog is just adding to the chaos, but I felt I needed to make it known that I am aware I am turning into Josh Griffin.

You Know This - Flag Day

Flags + Friends = Wicked Fun!

You Know This - Sunday Football Games

You know, I’m definitely not the biggest football fan out there, but there’s just something euphoric about taking a nap on a Sunday afternoon with the sound of the game in the background.

You Know This - Monster Truck

Oh my goodness! Natalie and I saw the biggest raised truck ever! I mean, it was amazing! I've never seen such a huge truck, and I'm from Riverside! I would hate for the world to miss out on such an event, so you'd better believe that we took pictures...

You Know This - PEZ

My roommate Kim and I are watching the Travel Channel right now and they are doing a special on the deliciously pressed, dry, brick shaped candy...PEZ. Here are some fun facts that I just learned:

The word PEZ derives from the German word Pfefferminz, which means peppermint.

My Opinion: PEZ is way more fun to say...and easier to spell.

PEZ was originally marketed as a compressed peppermint candy for adults.

My Opinion: I really hope it originally came in the figurine PEZ dispensers too. I would love to see a schnazzy businessman pull back on a Tweety Bird PEZ head and offer a mint to his coworker.

PEZ dispensers originally cost 25 cents. Refill PEZ packs were 5 cents.

My Opinion: I would eat a whole lot more PEZ if it still cost 25 cents.

The most a collector has ever paid for a PEZ dispenser is $11,000.00.

My Opinion: First of all - RIDICULOUS! Second - The most I would ever pay for a PEZ dispenser is $1.50. And I would have to be really craving some PEZ.

There is a Museum of PEZ Memorabilia just outside of San Francisco.

My Opinion: PEZ Museum...here I come!

Thank you Travel Channel for the useless information. I always appreciate it!

Number of times I got to type PEZ... 15

You Know This - Ghetto Fabulous

There have been several times in the past 3 years of my living in the OC that I have been made fun of for growing up in Riverside. I've always laughed it off, joined in on the joke, and thought to myself, "oh, these ignorant Orange County snobs have no clue what they are talking about. Riverside is not that different from Orange County." But today I believe I was proven wrong. Check it out...

Now, I know it's blurry and you can't fully tell what all is going on here. So let me explain. This is a family having a labor day picnic...on a bunch of hay stacks...on the side of the 215. As in the freeway.

It was so amazing that my sister and I pulled off the freeway, backtracked a few off ramps, got back on the freeway, drove by again in the slow lane at about 45 mph, rolled down the window, and honked the horn as to catch their wondering faces as we drove by.

No wonder why Orange Counters think Riversidians are just a bunch of red necks!

You Know This - September 27th

Get excited, cause Season 4 of The Office is just around the corner! I wanted to post a video with a little taste of what's to come, but both of the official NBC previews on You Tube were just a bit too inappropriate. So you will have to go check them out yourself. The Summer Vacation one is super funny!

In the meantime, mark your calendars for the season premiere on September 27th!
