Don't Play with Sharp Knives

So I sent our kitchen knives out to be sharpened by a this company, Holley Manufacturing, that I heard of on NPR's Splendid Table. You go online and tell them how many knives you want sharpened and they send you a box and knife guards. They send your knives back in about a week. Our knives came back sharper than new!!!!!!!!! They are amazing. My 10" chefs knife cuts through a tomato like soft butter. I've even already cut myself, luckily no blood was drawn as the cut is across my fingernail. But who cares!!?? These babies are fantastic. We'll see how long they keep the edge.

The knives I sent were mostly Globals and the Holley website has all sorts of information on caring for your knives.

Highly Recommended!

I Always Wanted to be an OLSEN TWIN!

So Little Kenny posted this celebrity face recognition website that tells you what celebs you look like. I had to try it. I got a pretty good round of celebs, except for the Backstreet Boy and Shigeru Miyamoto (he created Super Mario Bros, didn't know who he was til I Googled him). Since I think that I made out pretty good, I thought that I'd try a less attractive photo. In the one below, I had been drinking a bit and playing hearts. That combination usually led to me not showing my finest qualities. I got a couple good ones, but FDR and Ariel Sharon; man, I didn't expect it to be that bad!

Fool for Skis

So I've tried skiing now for the second time and really like it. However, there was this total jerk running the bunny slope chair lift. He wasn't helping the newbies and half the time he wasn't paying any attention at all to the people getting on the lift. My buddy Amy dropped her pole and she unintentionally jumped off to get it and he didn't even stop the lift! And then when she came back around, he didn't even tell her that he had sent it up to the top. What an idiot!

Crazy Toilet

So I'm listening to the radio this morning and the DJ is talking about some toilet that you can win from Roto Rooter. It has a TV, X-box, leg weights, fax, laptop... the list goes on and on. The discussion on the radio turned to why guys like to spend so much time on the toilet. I don't really care to know why sitting on the toilet crapping and reading is enjoyable. What I think is intriguing, though, is the thought of some guy using all these things while he's in the bathroom. Most guys' bathrooms that I've seen are pretty gross and the only thing they have to clean in there is a toilet and sink. I can't imagine how disgusting all this various equipment would get! OK, I know that this is just a marketing gimmick. However, there are guys out there who would realistically add at least one of these components to their toilet now knowing that it's possible to do it!
