I may not be as fit as I can be…
By Mr. Fabulous | May 16, 2008
It occurs to me that leading a mostly sedentary life in which the heaviest object I life on a regular basis is a full potato chip bag, may not be the best way to build muscle.
On the other hand, how much muscle could I possibly need?
I’m not a body builder or a superhero. I’m not a professional wrestler.
I don’t think I need any muscle at all. I could just carry a gun.
In fact, I know the perfect place to keep it. In that potato chip bag.
Brilliant!

The search begins…
By Mr. Fabulous | May 15, 2008
What is the most important furnishing for a new house?
Bed? Washer/Dryer? Refrigerator? Stripper pole?
Negative on all counts.
Air hockey table.
I have been keeping my eyes peeled and doing some research on air hockey tables. The really good ones are pretty pricey.
I have also been keeping an eye on Craigslist and eBay.
Gotta find a good one. No cheapies. We need arcade-quality. When you come over and visit, I know you are going to expect nothing less.
We will not disappoint.

Ah…the lifeblood of adults everywhere!
By Mr. Fabulous | May 15, 2008
Let’s see a show of hands. Who likes coffee? Who needs coffee? Who can’t function without their coffee?
Yep. Just about everybody.
Over at SanMarcoCoffee.com you can indulge yourself with nearly 300 types of coffee. You will hardly know where to start. They all sound so good!
In fact, I had a brainstorm. I think I need to make some gourmet coffee one of the prizes in my June contest. I bet THAT would stir up some interest.
Ha! “Stir up” some interest. Get it?
Oh, stop.
I am definitely going to do it. If I can even begin to know which ones to choose…

My latest contest idea…
By Mr. Fabulous | May 15, 2008
A lot of times my contests don’t work out too well. Oftentimes people think they are too hard. Maybe they are.
I am trying to think of a real cool prize to offer next month. I am thinking about using the Trivia site that I play on now to create a special one month only trivia quiz that will last all of June. 30 days of trivia. Whoever wins in the end gets the prize.
I just need to figure out the prize.
And I need to figure out which topics to pick. Maybe I will pick a blogger each day and have it be a catagory that has something to do with them. I could do questions on The Netherlands for Dutchy. I could pick hockey questions for Hellohahanarf (or alcohol questions). I could pick questions on France for Poppy. And so on and so on.
Watcha think?
I just don’t know if there are any dolphin porn questions for Avitable…

Let’s hit the trails!
By Mr. Fabulous | May 15, 2008
Now that I am going to be moving and making a lot of changes in my life, I am going to be spending more time outside, away from the computer.
It’s time to be more active. At RockyMountainTrail.com I can get just about anything I need for my more active outdoor lifestyle, and now I can save money doing it, thanks to their Spring Sale. I don’t think I’ll ever be someone who enjoys camping, but I can certainly see myself doing some hiking in those Kentucky woods.
Wait…Deliverance wasn’t filmed in Kentucky, was it?

Houston…we have a problem…
By Mr. Fabulous | May 15, 2008
I broke my PhotoShop somehow. This is not good. Without PhotoShop there is no LOL Bloggers or Pictorial Essays.
It works, it just does things I don’t want it to do, and I can’t figure out how to make it go back the way it was.
And I can’t re-install it, because the software is packed up somewhere.
I only do two things with the damn program. I create boxes that I can put words into. And then I put the words in.
I can create the boxes, but I can’t put the words in.
When I click the box, the whole image turns pink and the font size goes to .01.
.01? WTF is that?
Anyone out there who can shed some light on this, or who can get on the phone and talk me through it?
Sigh…

I can build my own PC?
By Mr. Fabulous | May 15, 2008
I never really thought of myself as the kind of guy who can build a PC. After all, I usually have trouble just figuring out which plug is supposed to go where in the back of the unit.
But according to EasyAsMyPC.com, all I need is a screwdriver, and I can put my own PC together from a kit. Heck, I have a screwdriver. Somewhere.
You can not only build your own computer, but you can get upgrade kits to boost your existing computer.
Man, I really like the idea of not only saving a bunch of money, but being able to tell people that I built the computer myself. That would impress some folks who have the opinion that I can’t even hammer a nail straight.
I can’t. But that’s beside the point. At least I can build my own PC!

Um…don’t they have ENOUGH of my money?
By Mr. Fabulous | May 14, 2008
So…I need to get a copy of my medical records from my doctor. You know, because of the big move.
Silly me…I thought they would be free.
Not quite.
One dollar a page for the first 25 pages, and then a quarter a page thereafter. According to Mrs. Fab, that’s the most allowed under state law.
Don’t they have enough of my money? Do you KNOW how thick my file is? It is so thick it could choke a horse. Figuratively. I’ve never actually tried to choke a horse, so I have no firsthand knowledge.
Mrs. Fab’s office doesn’t charge anything. Good for them.
Why should I have to pay for my own records?
If I get my new doctor to request the records, however, they will do it at no cost. At least for the first request.
I don’t understand that.
Regardless, I’ll let the new doctor request them.
Sheesh. If I had known about this, I would have spent the last several years stealing gauze and tongue depressors, so at least I’d break even in the end.

I want to play paintball!
By Mr. Fabulous | May 14, 2008
Seriously. I have always wanted to play. I have tried to get a day of paintball competition
planned where I work now, but as yet it has not come to pass. I tried a couple of times when I worked at the bloodbank. Everyone loved the idea, but we were never able to put it together.
Lately I have been perusing a paintball website called Ultimate Paintball that carries just about everything you could possibly need to compete at paintballing. They have a Tippmann x7 package that nearly made my mouth water. They carry all the big names: Spyder, Dye, and Empire. I want some of this gear. I need it!
Hopefully once I get up to Kentucky there will be people I can play with. I wouldn’t want to play with a bunch of people who were in really good shape, though. Maybe I could play with some accountants. Middle-aged, out of shape accountants.
I want to be a sniper. I want to take people out legally. I really want to see if I have what it takes. Would I be the last man standing, or would I picked off easily?
I am bookmarking this site. The prices look really good, and they offer free shipping. Can’t beat that.
Wait…how about a paintball competition involving bloggers?
Now that would be sweet!

Packing: The Fabulous Method!
By Mr. Fabulous | May 14, 2008
So I was discussing packing for the move to Kentucky with someone the other day, and she was a tad surprised when I told her that none of my boxes were marked.
Truth is, I wouldn’t know what to mark them. I’m not a normal person.
Sure, I’ve got books and DVDs. That’s normal stuff.
But a lot of the rest of it is Elvis memorabilia, wigs, bottles of fake blood, autographs, baseball cards, wooden shoes, a big fake head, capes, sculpey, crayons, fake ghetto jewelry, stuffed microbes, fake money, hats, boll weevil mason jar drinking glasses, Blues Brothers action figures…
I mean…would it really matter if I put labels on the boxes?
I should just get a bunch of labels that say the same thing. CRAP.
One day maybe I will grow up.
Nah.
