Without using the letter 'E' - Revisited

Disclaimer: I attempted to write this post back in 2010. I thought I didn't use any E's but alas a fellow blogger found 3 of them. I tinkered around with it again and believe the rest of this post does not contain the letter E. I had to use a thesaurus to find other words. The post is a bit odd and you may find it difficult to make sense of it, that is okay. Maybe read it over twice to make sure there are no E's. A few things have changed since the original post. I have a son now but his name is Ryan. I do own blu-ray players and movies.My wife also got me Darkwing Duck DVD's for Christmas one year. This will all make sense soon. Without further ado....

***************************

I thought about writing this post on many occasions. It is difficult to brainstorm an original thought without applying that unambiguous symbol. Try it right now, think of any formation of words without that symbol. Hard, right? Now, think how hard it would occur to construct a thorough and continuous post without that symbol. I was having author's block during my brainstorming about this post. It should contain humor, random thoughts, originality, thought provoking topic, a post to talk about at an H20 apparatus and damn right phantasmagorical. I am thinking about what to concoct as I push all sorts of symbols on this plastic pad of random marks and symbols.

How about a quick nostalgic analysis?

DARKWING DUCK

I had a fancy for Darkwing Duck . That cartoon IS kick-ass. It's first affair was back in that 9th month of 1991. It ran for four minus uno occasions, from '91 to '93. Go on you know you want to sing that Darkwing song. Put your arm up high if you would want Launchpad McQuack as your trusty crony. I spot with my orbitals that most of you do. I am going to call my first son Lauchpad. What a fantastic monogram. My son would automatically turn into a pilot with that tag. I want a job as Darkwing Duck. That duck has loads of fun. I wish to own DVD's of that cartoon. My b-day is July 14th if anybody is blurry on what to buy P-Toast Man. I am not on a blu-ray wagon up to now, so only mail DVD's to my location. Who was Darkwing Duck? Did Darkwing hold similar blood with a distinct duck family? McDucks? How did Lauchpad go from that particular duck show, DuckSagas (wink wink) to Darkwing Duck? Did Launchpad attain a boot out? I fancy solutions and justification!! I miss old cartoons. Nowadays' cartoons do not stack up to particular toons of my youth. Cartoons kind of suck now. Mr. MoistPadBob StraightRhombusPants has an omission from said dumb cartoons of nowadays.

Okay that is all I got for this post. It was difficult and took a long duration. But it was fun. I might try it again. If you find any of that symbol I could not apply, point it out to muah. I await your input.

What you long to catch with your audio organs...

I downloaded a Chuck Norris Facts app on my phone. I should do a review of my new phone, it's the Droid 2. I will work on that another day. This post is about Chuck Norris.

Inside the Actor's Studio

Today we have a special guest in the studio. Appearing for his first interview ever, give a warm welcome for Jason Voorhees. (Very few applause, shock on everyone's face)

PTM: It is nice to have to hear Jason. Is it alright if I call you Jason or do you prefer Mr. Voorhees?

Jason: You can call me whatever you want...just don't call me late to a slaughter. I'm sorry I know that was a bad joke. But you know that I am not known for my humor.

PTM: Now Jason you have appeared as the main character in the Friday the 13th series. That must have been very lucrative for you. How have you spent your money?

 Jason: Sadly I did not spend my money wisely. While I originally had plans to invest in the stock market, I wound up spending a large portion to acquire Crystal Lake from the previous owners and perform some upkeep on a yearly basis. Even though I say "some" upkeep, the camp is damn near 100 acres, so it gets pricey. Add in the marketing and advertising to keep importing kids to this camp to slaughter every summer and then add on the payola and hush money I pay out to the local authorities to keep these killing sprees under wraps and I am in the red by year's end. Oh and don't forget my coke habit. Why do you think I wear the same clothes all of the time and live in that ghetto ass shack? I mean, I would love to get one of those new age hockey masks with the cage, but I just don't have the bread.   

PTM: Out of all the movies including the one with Freddy Kruger, which Friday the 13th is your favorite and why?

 Jason: Great question! I would have to say the 8th installment, Jason Takes Manhattan, but for selfish reasons. I have always wanted to visit New York and that was my one and only chance. The producers put me up at the Plaza, took me to Nobu and I brought the sun up at Marquee with my co-star Dansen Jaggett, who is a bit of freak if you know what I mean,

PTM: What was the deal with Jason X? Were you in desperate need of some cash? I mean my 90 year old grandmother could of made a better script.

 Jason: Well Mr. Toast Man, after The Final Friday in '93, I hit a rough patch in my life. In Hollywood, if you are out of sight, you are out of mind. People stopped talking about me and stopped dressing like me for Halloween. And then that asshole Kevin Williamson made Scream , which established a new horror icon in Ghostface and left me as an afterthought. I missed the attention and all of the parties that go along with it. So I fell in with some bad people and turned to drugs and booze as a full-time hobby. And that can be very costly for someone like me who can never die. I can have a fatal overdose and be back on the horse 20 minutes later. Money was tight when the creators of Jason X came around to offer me the gig. I didn't read the script at all and mailed in my performance. But imagine my disappointment when I found out we really weren't going into outer space. Talk about FAIL.

PTM: Out of these 3 females who would you fuck, marry and kill? Kathy Griffin, Sarah Silverman and Martha Washington.

 Jason: Silverman, Washington, Griffin. Silverman is the hottest so that's a no-brainer and Washington looks a lot like my mother...and you know I am a major mama's boy. So I'd kill Griffin by default...but can you kill something that's already dead? Or should I say someone with a dead career?

PTM: Do you have any plans to settle down, marry and have some kids?

 Jason: Unfortunately I have no dick. It fell off permanently when I was blown apart in Jason X. Just kidding! No I don't want a wife or kids to cramp my style. I am all about the party and banging chicks anyways. Like the great Aldous Snow once said, "I want to get lost in fuck." Wait can I say fuck?

PTM: Sure you can. We don't censor here at Just the Cheese. The only exceptions are Justin Bieber and Philadelphia Eagles fans. I'm going to play psychiatrist for a minute now. Why do you feel it necessary to hide behind a mask?

 Jason: Have you seen my face? It looks like vomit from a cat who ate a diseased rabbit and a whole can of cranberry sauce. More importantly, it really turns off the ladies.

PTM: What is your favorite board game?   

Jason: Clue. But people hate playing it with me. I don't get the whole cat-and-mouse hush-hush deal with the game. I am very vocal and tell other players straight off the bat that I killed everyone in the house with my machete. What are they gonna do about it? I will "slash a bitch" if someone steps to me. Oh and I like Chutes and Ladders too.

PTM: How do you think you would do in a fight against Warwick Davis as the Leprechaun?

 Jason: Haha that's a joke right? Leprechaun is the Church's Chicken of horror film icons. Me...no contest.

PTM: Do you miss your mom? I hear that you kept her decapitated head, is this just a rumor?

 Jason: Yes it's true and I sleep with it every night. I get emotional when I talk about it, but my mom never put up with anyone's shit and always had my back. That mentality got her head cut off and I felt so guilty. If I was just a little older, her and I would be the best man-woman killing team since Bonnie and Clyde. I love my mommy!

PTM: Have you ever visited The Man Cave blog formerly Enter the Man-Cave? If so, what do you think of Geof?

Jason: Ugh. That P.O.S. site? It is about as lifeless as my skin. And yeah I know Geof. He's a talentless hack who can't spell the name Jeff correctly. Don't hang out with him if you want to live long because he's a worse animal then me. And tell him that he still owes me that boat he lost to me in our card game.

PTM: That is all the time we have for today. I want to thank Jason for stopping by and giving us insight into the mind of a psychopath. I don't think I will be able to sleep tonight.

I want to thank Geof from The Man Cave for playing the part of Jason Voorhees. Make sure you stop by his blog and say hi.

My ipod might be lying to me

Weird Laws: Part X

Well I've gone through all the U.S. States once. How about I start from the beginning of the alphabet with some new laws, well not new but ones I haven't posted yet.

ALABAMA

It is illegal to pretend to be a clergyman. Even for Halloween? but that's the best costume.

It is illegal to injure yourself in order to escape duty. That's a little vague. Jury duty? Military duty? Dog duty?

ALASKA

In Anchorage, it is illegal to carry an animal on the outside of a vehicle. But my moose looks so good strapped to the front of my car.

In Haines, it is illegal to carry a concealed slingshot unless properly licensed. Damn, that's how I killed the moose.

ARIZONA

It is illegal to hunt camels. Are they just loose running around the desert?

It is illegal to manufacture or distribute any imitation controlled substance. They would rather you sell real cocaine and heroin.

ARKANSAS

In Little Rock it is illegal to honk your car's horn at any place where cold drinks or sandwiches are served after 9:00 p.m. WTF?!?!

In Little Rock, it is illegal to suddenly start or stop your car at any drive-in restaurant. I guess you have to throw your car in neutral and push it first.

CALIFORNIA

In Chico, it is illegal to play baseball on any street, sidewalk, lane or alley. This is how stick ball was invented.

In Cathedral City it is illegal to sleep in any parked car. You can't tell me what to do Cathedral City.


COLORADO

In Alamosa it is illegal to urinate or defecate in public. This one actually makes sense, why is this one weird? Unless public restrooms are illegal too.

It is illegal to mutilate, deface, disfigure or injure any rocks, trees, shrubbery or wild flowers in a state park. How does one mutilate or disfigure a rock?

Weird Laws: Part NiNe

Here is the next installment of Weird laws of the United States. I wonder how many of them are still enforced today?

VIRGINIA

Radar detectors are illegal. My grandma isn't allowed in Virginia, she can smell radar from a mile away.

With the exception of raccoons it is illegal to hunt any animal on Sunday. It's because all the raccoons are Atheists.

WASHINGTON

It is illegal to spit on a bus. Even if I bring my spittoon with me?

It is illegal to use X-Rays to fit shoes. Ummm...... why?

WEST VIRGINIA

It is illegal to wear a hat inside a theater. But I just got a new stovepipe hat and I was planning on wearing it out.

If you curse in public you will be fined $1 for each offense. Can I pay ahead of time and use my curses throughout the year like a prepaid gift card?

WISCONSIN

It is illegal to serve margarine at a restaurant unless the customer requests it. I am usually only in the mood for margarine when I dine out anyway.

It is illegal to wave a burning torch around in the air. I guess the Olympics aren't ever going to Wisconsin. What do the angry mobs carry?

WYOMING

It is illegal to fish with a firearm. I find that my rocket launcher scares away the fish.

It is illegal to ski while drunk. I'm so self conscious about my skiing when I'm sober, damn you Wyoming!!

ALABAMA

It is illegal to train a bear for wrestling, or to promote bear wrestling. "Okay, I want a good, clean fight. No using your claws, no biting and try not to poop in the ring."

It is illegal to pretend to be a clergyman. But I have my Pope costume all ready for Halloween and I tricked out my car to look like the Pope Mobile too. All that work down the drain.

Weird Laws: Part 8

I know you have all been waiting for the next installment of Weird Laws of the U.S. It has been over a month since I did one of these. I love weird laws.


PENNSYLVANIA

In Bensalem it is illegal to operate Bingo games if you are a felon. Shouldn't that be on the Bingo application, if you have been convicted of a crime? Don't they screen potential operators?

In the same town it is illegal for operators of Bingo games to advertise the prizes they offer. Man, they have some strict Bingo rules in Pennsylvania. I want to know what I'm playing for.

RHODE ISLAND

It is illegal to possess a cap gun. It's because they look to much like real guns and they don't want to gun down someone with a fake gun. And making it illegal to own a real gun would just be plain silly.

It is illegal to string wire across a highway unless it is 14 feet higher than the surface. Say what?

SOUTH CAROLINA

Fortune tells must be licensed by the state. Is this where Miss Cleo went wrong?

It is illegal to work on Sunday. Who's running the churches down there?

TENNESSEE

It is illegal to bring a skunk into the state. Racist bastards!!

TEXAS

It is illegal to sell any of your organs. Dammit, I was told I could get $3000 for my spleen.

UTAH

It is illegal to sell alcohol during an emergency. What if the emergency is that there is no alcohol?

It is illegal to participate in a boxing match that allows biting. It would be too easy to make a Mike Tyson joke.

Movies to Ponder

So for fun I like to surf IMDb for upcoming movies. A lot of the times I am either in shock or I am excited about what I see. It's usually prequels, sequels or remakes that get me all wound up. I decided to take a gander at what Will Smith is up to. Here is what I found.

Bad Boys 3 - I have to admit, I have actually never seen the first two for some reason so I don't really have an opinion about this one. You can tell me what you think.

Hancock 2 - I thought the original was okay. It had a good idea for a movie but it didn't deliver the way I thought it would. I don't think it need a sequel.

I, Robot 2 - I liked the first one a lot more than I thought I would, it was entertaining. I don't see how they could make a sequel.

Untitled I Am Legend Prequel - Better than a sequel I guess.

The Karate Kid 2 - The new one has only gotten a 5.7 on IMDb. Is he jealous of his son that he has to be in the sequel?

Flowers for Algernon - I remember reading the book in school. Should be interesting.

Independence Day 2 - Umm, why? I thought the first one was pretty clear cut.

Independence Day 3 - Okay, I'm convinced Hollywood is just making sequels to everything now.

Men in Black III - This one actually has a scheduled release date. I'm excited about this sequel. I loved the first Men in Black and the short lived cartoon. I hope they do it right. Tommy Lee Jones and Rip Torn are back in this one.

Here are some others to ponder.

Kill Bill: Vol. 3 - I love Quentin Tarantino but I don't know about this one. I thought everyone got taken care of in the second one. Has a temporary date of 2014.

Beverly Hills Cop IV - It's about time Eddie Murphy goes back to being a bad-ass, I was getting tired of the children's movies.

Die Hard 5 - Bruce Willis is indestructible. I loved the last one. He's not too old yet.

The NeverEnding Story - With Leonardo Dicaprio. This one doesn't need to be remade. The original was great.

Zoolander 2 - Seriously?

Little Fockers - We all saw this one coming.

Monsters Inc. 2 - I am excited about this one. The first one was so creative and what else is Billy Crystal doing?

The Hangover 2 - It can't be better than the first one, can it?

I think that is enough for now. I could put 100 more but I don't want to melt your brains. So which ones should and shouldn't be made?

Obama-Rama

No, this post is not about Barack Obama. It's about our mutual blogger buddy Asblackasobama or Asblack as I like to call him. Cheesy title, right? That's what I thought when I typed it in there but do remember the title of this blog.......duh! (I bet Cheeseboy liked it's cheesiness) The reason for this sole blog post about Asblack is because (if you have been following for the past week) he won the last Trivia Corner contest and he's an all around swell guy but mostly because he won the contest. Maybe he will get some Spam after all if it's in the budget by the end of this post.

My first interaction with Asblack was back in mid October of 2009. He commented on a post titled WTF!!, which was oddly enough about people not commenting on my blog. I think it was meant to be. He says that I commented on his blog first but I think he commented on mine first I'm not sure of the true story but that doesn't matter. He was one of my first real followers, my other followers included Nicole, my brother-in-law and a friend from work, he made #4 (I think, don't quote me on that one). Since then he has commented on about 90% of my posts and always with something different to say. His following opened the flood gates to other great bloggers that now follow and comment on 'Just the Cheese.'

I had almost given up hope before Asblack came to my blog. I didn't think anyone was reading it and I was rarely getting comments until he showed up. He is a true blogger buddy. I wish he didn't live on the other side of the U.S. so we could be friends in real life. He seems like a cool dude.

I am sure all of you reading this already follow his blog but on the chance that you don't, go visit I Think it's Interesting after you are done reading this post. I love his blog, I too think it's interesting. He is always finding cool things on the net and in the real world to show us. I am still thinking about that awesome birthday candle that he found. My sister's b-day is tomorrow and I thought about getting that candle for her cake, she will be 27 but I think anyone would love that candle. I also love his theme song game on Friday's even though I usually miss guessing before the answers are revealed and most of the time I don't know the theme.

If he is busy and can't comment on my posts he goes back and tries to read and comment on almost all of what he missed. He is definitely a team player. I don't know how many blogs he follows but he make me feel like he is only following my blog sometimes. He always has great comments too. He has also guest posted for "Just the Cheese' about his love/hate relationship for the Raiders. Thank you Asblackasobama for all that you do in the blogosphere. We all think that you are awesome and we all love your blog. Keep doing what you are doing.

As a side note, I had posted some cool facts about 2 weeks ago and one of them was that Ernest Vincent Wright wrote a novel, "Gadsby", which contains over 50,000 words-- none of them with the letter E. Asblack sort of challenged me to write a post without using the letter E which is more difficult than it sounds. I have been thinking about what to write and how to write it. Look for that post by the end of this week, I hope. If you have any ideas for that post, let me know in your comment. Asblack suggested something about my wedding plans. What is your idea?

Cool Facts

Here are some random cool facts from my ipod.

I Can't Believe It's True

Something historic has happened at the Scully household. It is bigger than sliced bread, bigger than the abolishment of slavery and even bigger than the first black president of the United States. Brace yourself for some incredible news. Are you ready? Prepare yourself, make sure you are sitting down for this. Take a deep breath....... We have finally ditched the dial-up connection!!! We have gotten a real live Internet connection!! I will let that soak in for a second.....
I wrote this blog post without having to wait for some stupid crap to load. I am so excited for this step into the 21st century. I think I'm getting a little choked up, hold on, there might be some tears.

Okay, I'm alright now. Don't worry, they were happy tears. There are so many possibilities now. I can finally watch videos people post on their blogs. I can read more blog posts and make more comments now that I don't have to wait and wait and wait. I can get XBOX LIVE if I desire. I can watch all that porn I have been missing out on, am I kidding?

It almost didn't happen. Cable Vision came to the house on Monday and was tinkering for hours trying to install it and get it to work. He thought the modem was defective and went out to get a new one. He came back with his supervisor and they finally figured out that Cable Vision isn't the service in the area, Comcast is. What a bunch of morons. So the Comcast guy came yesterday and half the job was already done for him by the Cable Vision guy. Ahh good times.

I asked the cable guy if he ever comes across people that still have dial-up and he said he thought so, then changed his answer to never. I would compare it to still using an abacus. If you are wondering, yes we do have running water. I am going to go bask in the glory of the high speed internet now. HURRAH!!

Accidental Masterpiece

I'm finally back, no thanks to this white stuff. No, not cocaine, the other white stuff, snow. If you are living on the west coast or a cave, the Northeast was hit with 3 days of snow, sleet and rain. It dumped about 2 feet on us, maybe more or less depending on where you live. NYC had a record month of snow for February, 37 inches, beating the old record of 30 inches back in 1895.

The snow storm didn't knock out my power at first. It first knocked out my phone line and if you have been following my blog you would know that this is a big problem because my house is still living in the dark ages with a dial-up connection. So I could not post anything on Friday or Saturday like I wanted to. We got the phone line back but then the power decided to go out, I was already at Nicole's house so I didn't care that much. It finally came back on around 1:30 am on Sunday.

I do love the snow but not when it takes blogging and anything to do with electricity away from me. Okay enough complaining about the snow. Let's get to the fun stuff.

Nicole and I decided to go sledding at her old elementary school. We thought we would have to deal with some whiny nose kids but it was a ghost town. Unfortunately the sled I have sucks major ass. The bottom of it is shaped like a snow mobile, not flat on the bottom but with rails. It doesn't slide down the hill, it kind of burrows underground. I don't know about you but that is not what I look for in a sled. Since the sledding was a bust I decided to try to make a snow man. I started rolling a snowball down the hill so it would accumulate snow and turn into a bigger ball for the bottom of the snow man but it turned into a giant snow wheel instead.

I flipped it over and layed the snow wheel on it's side to create something, I wasn't sure what at the time. I made another smaller snow wheel and place it face up on the other wheel to create a snow chair. Snow is so much easier to mold and shape than clay. After adding more snow and smoothing it out I realized that it looked more like a toilet than a chair. Nicole and I then got to work on making it look more like a toilet. We rounded the front and bottom, made the back more square, we even dug out a hole in the seat and Nicole made a handle. It looked awesome, I wish I had some pics to show you but we both didn't have our phones on us and they probably wouldn't of come out so good with an all white background.

To make it look more like a toilet I decided to add a little yellow dye inside the bowl if you know what I mean. I got some on the seat for good measure. It was a very proud moment, I had never made a snow toilet before today....err yesterday. I just would like to see somebody's reaction when they find this thing randomly behind the school. "Is that a toilet made out of snow?" Priceless!! I have to add a little review by saying that this snow is the best packing snow I have ever laid my hands on. It packs up nice and tight and is great for snowballs or making snow toilets, whatever you're into.

Next time I will make a hot tub and a sink.

Some Cool Facts

A full-grown bear can run as fast as a horse. Why don't we have bears at the track? I'd watch some jockeys try to ride some bears.

There is more real lemon juice in Lemon Pledge furniture polish than in Country Time Lemonade. This is true, I just tasted some Pledge, very lemony.

Donkeys kill more people annually than plane crashes. That's it, I'm cancelling my donkey ride to Disney World.

Mexico City is built on top of an underground reservoir. Does that mean it may become the lost city of Atlantis?

A roach can live up to nine days without it's head. Who found this out and why? Did they spend my hard earned tax money finding this out?

It takes about 63,000 trees to make the newsprint for the average Sunday edition of The New York Times. So The New York Times is to blame for deforestation. Who reads that whole thing anyway? I just like doing the jumble.

The Best of 1994-2004

I miss the tv show Friends. It was and still is my all time favorite tv sitcom. I try to catch the reruns on TBS whenever I can. I wish they never ended the series. I don't watch as much tv as I used to but I don't think there is another sitcom out there as good as Friends. Also sitcoms nowadays don't last as long, a lot of them get booted after one or two seasons.

I think everybody that has watched the show has played the game "which Friends character am I?" I have always thought I had the most in common with Chandler. The other day I realized that I am a mix of characters. I have the sarcastic sense of humor of Chandler Bing. I share the same intelligence as Ross Geller. I have the same eating habits of Joey Tribbiani. I possess a little OCD like Monica Geller and I'm a bit weird like Phoebe Buffay. Rachel Green is the only one that I really have nothing in common with.

Which Friends star are you and why? What is your all time favorite sitcom?

A Salute To Genius

I have been trying to think of something clever to add to my blog to be original. I just read some posts at Geof's blog: Enter The Man-Cave, and I am jealous that I didn't come up with what he wrote. I would totally steal his idea if I was more of a douche bag but alas, I am a good person......son of a bitch! If you have never visited his blog you should. He posts spam emails that he gets and the humorous replies that he sends back to them. I wish I was that clever. I will hit the drawing board and come up with something great.

I would like to take this opportunity to announce that I have surpassed 3000 visitors!! So many people to thank, well that might be hard, I don't know everybody's name that visits 'Just the Cheese.' I can thank the 9 followers I have though, you care, you really do. I told myself I wouldn't cry.......

I'm not sure where I was going with this post. I first wanted to give props to Geof but then didn't think any further than that. It seems this is just turning into a late night rant. Maybe it will go somewhere and maybe I will just ramble on about absolutely nothing.

Here's a random thought that I have had before. Have you ever used the word DIABOLICAL in a sentence without referring to a movie, tv show or comic book villain? It seems that word is only meant to be used in corny superhero shows. I can picture Robin saying it in the old Batman show with Adam West.

The only reason that word popped into my head is because I heard Claire Daines use the word PARADOXICAL on The Colbert Report. I thought that can't be an actual word, she just made that up. Sure enough, it is a word. I have never heard anyone use it before. I am going to try to fit 'diabolical' and 'paradoxical' into the same sentence this week. Wish me luck!

Maxim Surprise

Did anybody look at this month's Maxim? Guess who appears on the cover? I'll give you a minute to think, it took me by surprise...... Insert Jeopardy Theme Music for effect.

Ok, times up!

It's Amanda Bynes (if you didn't know or can't read.) I remember her from the Nickelodeon show All That. I can't picture her all grown up and stuff. She has grown up to be an attractive woman. I never thought watching Nickelodeon that she would grow up to be kind of hot. Now she is 23 and fair game for anyone in my generation (I'm 25.) Who's next, Dakota Fanning?
