Air Time vs. Ground Time

06.13.2002

I ust got to talk too WWF (or is it WWE now) Jason on the phone. He just got back from a scouting trip to Australia for a series of events they're having in August (at least I think it's August). He said it was a 30 hour plane trip to get there. Once there, they spent 26 hours on the ground before flying back - another 30 hour trip. 86 hours and you spend 60 of them in the air. I thinks he's got a cool job, but Idon't think I could do it (and that's not even counting the actual work part).

I should have another batch of camtoons up later today. I guess I'm on a roll. Role? Roll.

DVD Update

06.11.2002

To celebrate newly christened parents Jerry and Elaine staying at home, I delivered unto them a bag full of movies yesterday - about 20 or so I think. While I was in the mood, I updated the dvd list with a couple of weeks worth of movies (like Vanilla Sky and the long overdue Men In Black).

The funny part is, both Jerry and I are computer nerds (duh, look at this site). I've got my movie list on the site, mainly for me to keep up with what I've got, but also so when somebody asks "What movies do you have?" I say "look at my website" instead of rattling off a couple of hundred titles. So what does Jerry do? he calls me at home and asks "What new movies do you have?" What do I do? I get in front of the movies and start spouting off titles. About a quarter of the way through I tell him "you know I've got a website for this", at which point I keep rattling off titles.

Back To My Roots

06.07.2002

Last night, I went with "the guys from work" to our local adult entertainment superstore, i.e. Visions. I hadn't been in about 3 years, and since then they've remodeled, moved the front door, and pretty much rotated all the strippers I knew from the good old days out.

Except Mia, my wrestling ticket connection (see the Randy Savage Story for details). The funny part was that although it had been 3 years since I had been there, she still remembered me (and the Randy Savage Story). The main things I learned last night was that (1) it's more fun to go to a strip club with a group of people, and (2) I think I've outgrown going to strip clubs. It's Gina's fault, that's all I've got to say.

Now I'm Crazy Uncle Russ

06.06.2002

Jerry and Elaine had their first kid last night (More details at Jerry's Site). Everything went well, everybody is happy and healthy. I guess I was excited too, I kept waking up every hour and a half last night.

Now then, what's the first thing I should teach the little newborn Poplin child? Perhaps it should be to teach her what her alternate name is! After all, when it comes to Poplin's, I never call any of them bytheir given names, and that includes pets. So, much like was done with the cats, Helen Chandler Poplin will now be subject of Russ' Name of the Week contest, where we try an alternate name out just to see how it sounds. I think the first nominee will be the shortened form of Helen: Hel! Welcome Hel!
