The Lost Weekend News: 1/1/06 - 1/7/06

Sunday, 1 Jan 2006
Hmm ... what happened today?

Oh, yeah. It was New Year's Day. Yeah, I hope that worked out for everybody.

The first *live* Monday Night Raw chat over at Southernfried was aborted, due to faulty chat room mechanics that, admittedly, probably hadn't been utilized in about 4-5 years. But there's a new one ready to go, so hopefully this will get underway next week.

Of course, I had the day off, since state and federal government gave the day after the holiday to us. Which was good; spent that time relaxing, chilling at home, reading some tales by Joe Lansdale. That's one wacky dude; pick up a book of his. Oh, any of them, but for newbs I'd recommend one of his short story anthologies, like "High Cotton" or "Bumper Crop."

On The Radar:
  • Actually, nothing I was even remotely interested in came out this week, DVD or CD.

  • "JSA 81," "Essential Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe" (despite a bookstore release date of Jan 18), "Iron Man 5" (only 5 months late), and "Punisher 29" (which I may be dropping) came out to comic shops this week. I should check out the Kirkman book, "Marvel Zombies," 'cause the premise is so dumb (the heroes of the Marvel Universe become members of the living dead) that it might actually swing past the bar into damned entertaining territory.

  • On the horizon, I'm still eagerly awaiting my 12 DVD shipment from Deep Discount DVD, as well as my 2 DVD order from Ring Of Honor (Joe vs. Punk II & Weekend of Thunder I).

I love the small Southern town mentality.

I went to lunch with a colleague - a young black female - and she and I were seated in the back, near the kitchen, where the wait staff proceeded to ignore our needs, as well as our order requests. Therefore, we proceeded to ignore the tip. So thank you, Ruby Tuesdays; due to your policy of employing retarded hillbillies, I have just decreased my dining options to the tune of one.

Your HSIOW thought of today:
Work has been whooping my ass this week, so much so that I hopped on the benadryl rickshaw. So my thought is this: "Next fortune cookie I get, I'm gonna see how much better it sounds if I add 'in the crotch' to the end."

Blogger makes a friend.

Trust me, this is one to read. I flipped through some of the comments, and I was surprised at folks that were agreeing with this shithead. Maybe I just don't put that much stock in my blog community ... I loves me some SGM, but I don't LOOOOVES me some SGM, nah'm'sayin'?

- Stumbled across this bit of wrestling info, on TNA day:

"If you go to Abyss' website, he is auctioning off the shirt he wore at Turning Point for the Barbed Wire Massacre. "

You know, I can probably think of a better way for you to get hepatitis or some other assorted bloodborne pathogens than starting your bid at $75 for it. Hell, the Native Americans got it wrapped in blankets for free.

- Some nasty bastard spit in my face when I went out on call for the ER tonight. This drunk, coke-addled motherfucker told cops, who picked him up on public intoxication, that he was going to kill himself if he went to jail. Instead of calling his fucking bluff, they brought him to the ER for possible hospitalization. Look, if I hospitalized every person who said they'd kill themselves over going to jail, I'd hospitalize every single one of them, because then they'd all say it to get out of jail, scot-free.

When I told the cops that he's no more suicidal than I am, and told them that he can use the jail time to sober up, that piece of fucking shit spits at me, calling me a "cracker." His saliva globule just grazed my left cheek. I told him that if he had done that out on the street, I'd have kicked his fucking ass. As it was, I charged him for assault, and I had two of the 'wood's finest as witnesses.
I had to shower, in the ER. I told the doctor to run a blood test (dude was hemoglobinly clean, thank god, or I seriously would have killed him). I was toweling off when the hospital administrator comes in, legal advisor in tow. They basically explained to me that I could press charges, but that the hospital would not get involved (therefore, no free legal counsel for me). They had me review & sign a number of forms (including one that I did not sign, a statement that I was not injured during duties performed for the hospital). An hour and a half worth of forms later, I was out.
