Silly Politicians

2009-07-30T10:33:00.002-05:00

Instead of spending all this time on health care, why don't they tackle some real issues. Like tipping. Every day Americans go to a restaurant and have no idea if they are tipping enough, not enough or too much. It's time to give the whole system an overhaul. When the average American goes out to eat, the price on the menu should be the price they pay. Instead we are stuck in a perpetual conundrum trying to figure out how much 10% of the bill is, wait should it be 15%? Or maybe 20%? If I tip too little the server is going to hate me and think I'm cheap. If it's too much the others will feel guilty for not tipping enough. Why is it percentage based anyway. If I get a burger and fries for $5 and the guy next to me gets a golden steak for $1,000 should my tip be $1 and his be $20 even though we had the exact same service?

The current system is fucked and I think it's time for the govenment to do something useful for a change and fix it!

National Bitch Day

2007-11-08T07:11:00.001-06:00

In honor of TEAM*JESS, I would like to formally declare November 8th as National Bitch Day. This day will be honored by celebrating the bitches in our lives.

That one person at work who's always in a bad mood. Today is the day you walk by and say, "Hi! Happy Bitch Day!" The cashier who has never once smiled or tried to be nice, "Good morning, Happy Bitch Day!" I have a feeling Snoop will be a busy man today. "Happizzle Biatch Day!" He's got tons of bitches. I also think that this will be a big day in the homosexual communities. Lots of bitches there. "You Bitch! Happy Bitch Day!"

So get out there and enjoy the bitches that make our lives exciting and miserable all at once! This is their day so let them have it!

Some Things Should NEVER Happen!

2007-09-25T07:27:00.000-05:00

Just as a parent should never have to bury their child. There are a few things in everyone's life that should never happen. This weekend one of those things happened to me. The bar I frequent closed it doors for the last time. The bar where I've spent the past few years for happy hour has shut down. The bar where I've spent countless hours deveoping relationships with some great people is no longer in business.

Old Chicago in Downtown Minneapolis is gone. My name will no longer be on the wall at a bar. 4 tours will be all I complete. The only consolation is that I got our mug.

On the mug you will see 4 plaques from me and 2 other regulars at happy hour and 1 each from 2 who join us whenever possible. All together representing over 1500 beers drank. The mug also has the signatures of all the people we got to know over the years. Of all the things I'm going to miss at Old Chicago, I will definately miss the people the most. They're the ones turned going to happy hour after work from a good time into a great time!

RIP Old Chicago

The SOB Hit Me!

2007-08-14T09:06:00.000-05:00

So, I'm just hanging out at home on a friday night when I get a phone call. It's my bud. The vehicle he's in broke down about a mile down the road at a gas station from my house. So, I figure what the heck, I'll go help him out.

My roommate lets me use his new truck to head down there. I pull in to the gas station and notice a white Cadillac Escalade pull into a parking spot rather quickly. "dude must be in a hurry to get a pack of smokes" I think. Then I proceed to drive behind him on my way to where my bud is. Then all of the sudden the Escalade's back up lights come on and the dude driving HAMMERS on the gas. I tried to accelerate past him quick, but to no avail, SMACK right in the back of the new truck.

My bud, his bro and their friend were all witnesses along with some guy at a gas pump who came over and told me,"I saw the whole thing, let me know if you need anything."

Got the info from the Escalade and my roommate is handling the phone calls. I had to talk to an insurance person giving my statement on what happened. Here's the kicker, the insurance person said that normally in gas station accidents they try to split the fault 70/30 or 80/20.

What the FUCK?! This dude didn't look behind him and hit the gas and I could be 20% at fault. FUCK THAT! It's 100/0. What kind of corrupted industry could say it's someone's fault for being hit by some jack ass who doesn't look where he is going?! Oh yeah, the insurance industry. Sucking money out of people each month for years upon years, then when it comes time to pay out, they don't want to. Hey fuckers, I pay you well over $1,000 a year in vehicle insurance alone and you're too fucking cheap to basically give me my money back. Fuck you and your horse. Some day karma's going to come back and kick your ass.

Cya Later Suckers!

Have you ever wondered who that person is who keeps emailing, calling, text messaging, etc.?

Yeah me too.

It's freaky. It's like that person knows me, but I have no clue who it is.

p.s. TEAM*JESS sucks

RJoe's Thoughts

2007-05-24T07:26:00.000-05:00

that is all

Fuck the Twins!

2007-04-12T13:40:00.000-05:00

Well, the cry babies finally got their way. The pack of whiners knows as the Twins are going to build a new stadium. Screwing up a lot of things.

1st off, the stadium is going on the cheapest parking lot near downtown. So now, because of the Twins, people will have to pay $2 more per day to park. Fuck the Twins.

2nd, they had to raise taxes to pay for the stadium. People now have to pay more money for beer to support the Twins. You would think a multi-million dollar franchise would be able to support themselves, but no, they need to take money way from good honest citizens to fund a stadium which will only be a headache to those paying the tax. Fuck the Twins.

3rd, Traffic is bad enough as it is downtown. Putting the stadium in its current location is going to make it even harder to get to and from that area of downtown. Not to mention the commuter train that's going in is taking away 2 or 3 lanes of traffic. Fuck the Twins.

4th, Bars in the area of the ballpark are going to be crowded as hell on game days. Which makes it harder to find a seat, order a beer and get the bill. Not exactly my idea of enjoyment in a bar. Fuck the Twins.

5th, there’s probably more, but I’m too pissed to think about them right now.

To summarize:
The Twins are fucking with my parking lot, my drinking time and my beer. AND they’re making me pay more for it. FUCK THE TWINS!!!

Side notes:
People say that with a new stadium, more revenue will be generated. Thus the tax is like an investment. Well, unless they buy me a case of beer or buy me a t-shirt I’m going to see nothing from the tax. Citizens aren’t getting a return on investment, it’s the government who’s basically taking our money and building a stadium, so they can get more money off of the people who go to the games. They already fuck you in the ass on taxes downtown, now there’s going to be even more. What a crock of shit.

You know what; I’m a pretty laid back guy. I don’t care if the Twins want a new spot to play a game. But when they start fucking with my beer, I’m going to get pissed. Those fucking guys make millions of dollars a year and they can’t afford a new stadium, so they make me pay for it. Well fuck you too. I want a new car. Every time a Twin takes a drink of Gatorade, I want 3 cents. 2 can play this game you bastards.

And do not get me started on the price of beer at games. You would think its liquid gold or something.

Black Eight

2007-02-28T14:21:00.000-06:00

Alright all you poor bastards who want to spend a night drinking like you have a job.

Alright all you rich fucks who want to know what it's like to be a real person.

Go get yourself some Black Eight

It's basically a mix of OE 800 and Guinness. Drank in a 40 and enjoyed by people from all walks of life. TEAM*JESS can't handle the Black Eight, therefore I recommend it for everyone.

Join us DC Dan!

The Sheik

2006-12-19T13:14:00.000-06:00

I was recently involved in a conversation in which The Shiek of Baghdad agreed with me.

Adnan also had some very interesting things to say about the current state of affairs in Iraq. Along with many other observations. It was great to hear about the war from someone who lived in Iraq. The best part was that his story wasn't filtered by the media. Adnan spoke straight from the heart about his personal thoughts on what's going on out there and how things came to be. It's a very interesting story. He did author a book called The Sheik of Baghdad: Tales of Celebrity and Terror from Pro Wrestling's General Adnan. I highly recommend the book to anyone who wants to see the truth and not the farse that the media, president and others would have you believe.

My part in the food chain

The Birth of True Evil

2006-11-08T13:23:00.000-06:00

Today is the day when a terrrible menace was released on soceity. From an early age signs on the tyranny were seen. In normally innocent games a child would play, a way was found to oppress others and force them into submission. This escaladed into institutions of education where the force of evil would countinue it's reign upon the poor constituants. Finally this deceptive beast went world wide and attempted to take over the world.

Happy Birthday Sis!

Coolest Lamp in History

2006-09-25T15:24:00.000-05:00

Check out this lamp I just got! It's cool as shit!

Notice it has a fuckin eagle on it!

Now the lamp would be cool enough with just an eagle, but wait. There's a sail boat on the lamp shade! How insane is that!

I know what you're all thinking. How do I get my hands on a such a fine piece as that? Tough shit, it's not for sale!

This year TEAM*JESS is even more pathetic than last year. Check out her flyer:

Be a Movie Star

2006-06-16T09:07:00.000-05:00

So my friend is casting people to play extras in a movie. I'm not Hollywood, but I think that means you will have an extra special role in the film. Either way some of the movie will be filmed in a bar. Which means you get to spend 8 hours in a bar with little to do except wait for your turn in front of the camera. Sounds like fun to me!

Here's the info:
We are seeking people of all types, 21 and over to beextras in the SAG independent movie “Regular Joe.”The movie is set to film June 24 through July 30 invarious metro locations (Minneapolis).
