Pushback and Pushrods

2000 Ford Corba R (#5)So I call my orthopedist today to find out where my short term disability paperwork is (my company’s HR department needs that to put me on FMLA and get me job leave security blah blah blah). Mid-conversation I find out my surgery wasn’t ever on 10/14/09 (even though that’s what they wrote on my appointment card… I quadruple checked that). It’s actually on 10/21/09. So then I got to scramble and let everyone in my company know. Then my family. And now you. Either way it works out because there is number of big jobs I’d like to bang out before I’m laid up and cannot go to work for a few weeks. I guess it all works out in the end. The even better news is they completed my paperwork and HR should have it tomorrow, which means I’m all set with everything I need to do to go on sick leave.

I saw a 2010 Ford Taurus SHO commercial called “SHO (pronounced “show”) time” and I was shocked to see Ford showing the SHO beating a V-8 Audi A6. Then I found this on You Tube.  Point nine seconds is bragging rights indeed. Completely sick. Now if I only had $40k to burn… hmmmm.

Or maybe if I had more to burn I could have stopped over at the Barrett-Jackson auction in Las Vegas, NV yesterday to pick up a ultra rare 2000 Ford Cobra R Mustang sporting serial number 5 of 300. One can only dream.

Finally, I’ve been told that Dave’s gig at TGI Friday’s has been canceled and moved to 11/5/09 at 10pm EST. If you planned on going adjust your calendar accordingly.

Catch Up, Not Ketchup

Some quick notes to catch up on:

We were recently linked to on H3N2FLU.us in this article linking back to our recently posted “Oink, Oink My Good Man” article. The site is dedicated to the latest news on the H3N2 virus (the virus formerly known as “Swine Flu”) and contains a wide variety of interesting information from reputable news sources. Be sure to check it out.

Follow up, on “Paranormal Activity” the movie – I received an email this evening (told you they couldn’t resist it) letting me know the following:

Hit 1,000,000 Demands and Paranormal Activity will open nationwide in the U.S. and Canada!

In addition, Paramount is giving two lucky fans a VIP screening of Paranormal Activity in their home town with the film’s director/writer/producer Oren Peli.

One fan will be selected randomly from all Demanders. The second fan will be selected from the city with the most Demands!

So there you go– the marketing campaign worked and we’ll all get to see what the buzz is about. Go us (?).

The number once Google.com image search for digitalflood.com for the past two months is “missing milk carton”. We come up on the first page and as result you can find our infamous image all over the place:

Some examples of df.com image hack jobs can be found here, here, and here… just to name a few. Glad to know we’re popular, but it’d be nice to get a little credit every once in awhile (*sheesh*).

It was painful watching my second favorite MLB team, the Detroit Tigers, lose to the Minnesota Twins; but it was cool watching the longest regular season one game play off match ever (12 innings, 5-6). History has been made. Looks like I got to find a team to root for in the play offs (and no it won’t be the NY Yankees no matter how much you try to convince me it should be). I think it’s going to be an LA Angels post season and I’m pretty big fan already (I had most of their outfield on my fantasy baseball team this year) of their players so maybe that will work.

Our second most searched image is our “Cats, the other white meat” logo:

As such, I’d like to remind you we do have ringer tees, dog tees, girlie tees, and even coffee mugs with that logo on it. Now you can let the whole world know what a sick SOB you really are… which makes you one of us so that’s just fine with me. Rock on!

This Friday (10/9/09) at TGI Friday’s in Middletown, NY (directions here) my friend Dave will be playing a gig at 10 pm EST. If you’re looking for something to do I’d highly recommend it. Dave plays a little bit of folk, a little bit of jazz, and some rock. I think you’d enjoy it (because I know I will) so show up or something.
