In fact, I've never posted an e-mail I've received to &lt;em&gt;The Unpleasantness&lt;/em&gt;.  Once I was going to post one I received about how I could be "more of a man," but there was no freakin' way I was letting that secret out.  So, instead, I'm going to post the e-mail I just received from my friend Captain 40oz Hands:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Don't jinx the Brewers thing, ahole. Anywho, [name removed to protect the&lt;br /&gt;innocent], FROLF today in the sunshine. Right when you get off of work on 62nd&lt;br /&gt;and Keef (rhyms with queef, the front grunt or the action that was related to my&lt;br /&gt;friend [name removed to protect the guilty] in confidence and then&lt;br /&gt;that confidence was broken and my course of life was altered, I could have been&lt;br /&gt;married to [name removed to protect everyone] and my house would have&lt;br /&gt;been clean but I would have cats instead of dogs so lets call it even). FROLF&lt;br /&gt;won't take you an hour and it is most enjoyable.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, here is my lastest master plan. Evidently, my fiancee thinks I am&lt;br /&gt;disgusting when I get drunk. Evidently, it was always that way and she never&lt;br /&gt;told me. It has just now become more and more noticeable. She says things like,&lt;br /&gt;"Gees, I didn't know you like Jagermeister that much!" and "You smell like&lt;br /&gt;booze." She has even broken down my latest defense tactic, the stress of work.&lt;br /&gt;When she says that I drink to much (which has now been regulated to pretty much&lt;br /&gt;just Fridays), I say that I work with cancer kids. Now she says that I always&lt;br /&gt;use that as an excuse. That's an effin tough stance. She doesn't even care about&lt;br /&gt;the cancer kids. Heartless.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So my new tactic is honesty. It is time to stand up for my testicles. I&lt;br /&gt;am unashamed and unabashed in my hedonism and manhood. I work and I do the&lt;br /&gt;dishes and I go to school and the bills are paid. I can get effin drunk when and&lt;br /&gt;where I want. If I want a drink I am going to have it, dammit. And then I am&lt;br /&gt;going to have five. Get outamy face woman and watch out 'cause I'm horney. Hug&lt;br /&gt;that pillow. It's midnight and I started at 3 in the afternoon and I am going to&lt;br /&gt;light this cigarette and open another beer because of these nutz I got palmed&lt;br /&gt;right here. I would make you feel beter if you got down on your pretty little&lt;br /&gt;knees and just smooched them right effin now. And then go to the store and get&lt;br /&gt;me another pack of Camel lights. And effin hard pack this time, comprende? I'll&lt;br /&gt;pay you back tomorrow, toots. Thanks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think this'll work out for me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yep.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8515471557339037734-1047339570247596413?l=theunpleasantness.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://theunpleasantness.blogspot.com/feeds/1047339570247596413/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8515471557339037734&amp;postID=1047339570247596413&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8515471557339037734/posts/default/1047339570247596413'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8515471557339037734/posts/default/1047339570247596413'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://theunpleasantness.blogspot.com/2007/04/hug-that-pillow.html' title='Hug That Pillow'/><author><name>David Casper</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02977113224125751896</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6089/437/1600/caspthtlessnoize.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp2.blogger.com/_XtZmYerJDIM/Riji7ofG4CI/AAAAAAAAAXk/KC5Obycdz38/s72-c/BeerHands.png' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8515471557339037734.post-2951844942739190990</id><published>2007-04-20T08:03:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2007-04-20T10:05:33.142-06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Watch the birdie'/><title type='text'>Bird Watching - 04/20/2007</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_XtZmYerJDIM/RijkV4fG4DI/AAAAAAAAAXs/PR4hyERgg20/s1600-h/birdwatching50.png"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5055541646314627122" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_XtZmYerJDIM/RijkV4fG4DI/AAAAAAAAAXs/PR4hyERgg20/s400/birdwatching50.png" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; This fellow just earned his citizenship and he's celebrating by flipping me off.

For that matter, what the h-e-double hockey sticks is wrong with Kevin Federline? &lt;a href="http://www.imdb.com/news/wenn/2007-04-13/#3"&gt;Rumor has it the two have started dating&lt;/a&gt;, or at least "made love," but with these two is there really any difference? If it were a date, I'd picture Kevin picking Lindsay up with his pants around his ankles (which he could conveniently pass off as hard-core rapper fashion) and Lindsay opening the door already half way to climaxing. If it were making love, I can imagine Lindsay spending the entire time texting her friends stuff like "OMG IM DOING KFED!!! :):):)" and "SKRU BRIT!" Meanwhile, Federline wouldn't even be in the same room because he couldn't figure out how to work the bathroom doorknob. But that wouldn't matter, because from what I hear about Lindsay's cooter, you technically just need to be in the same zip code as her to be doing the nasty.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For the record, K-Fed has managed to knock up not one, but two women...neither of which he's currently with.

Another way to do it is by asking "do you know who I am?"  But the best way of doing it is by impersonating a famous food critic, ordering everything on the menu and yelling "merde!" after each bite.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How, you may ask, does one impersonate a food critic?

After all, he wasn't that great an actor to begin with and just went to prove that you should never invest in someone's career before they hit puberty. But now I'm just worried about the guy. First, our crack team of paparazzi here at &lt;em&gt;The Unpleasantness&lt;/em&gt; catches him &lt;a href="http://theunpleasantness.blogspot.com/2007/04/gettin-your-4h-on.html"&gt;eyeing up the ladies at a state fair&lt;/a&gt; and now we find him passing his time scaring the crap out of bunnies and babies. Maybe he thought auto-racing was a euphamism for "going nutbags." Or maybe he's just upset that Allesandra Ambrosio won't return his phone calls. I'm totally speculating on that second one, but that's just because I'm hoping someone else out there can empathize with my plight. And I wanted a reason to post a picture of Allesandra Ambrosio.

No, it isn't because they haven't accepted Christ as their true lord and savior, but rather that they haven't accepted &lt;em&gt;bacon &lt;/em&gt;as their true lord and savior. Sure, they can eat beef or turkey bacon, but we all know that's about as close to real bacon as I am to being the real heir to the Russian throne. Sure, maybe the British throne, or the Super-Sexy-Stud throne, but the Russian throne? No way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Anyhoo, from &lt;em&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.thesun.co.uk/article/0,,2-2007160287,00.html"&gt;The Sun Online&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;, some scientists in England have come up with the formula for the perfect bacon sandwich:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;N = C + {fb(cm) . fb(tc)} + fb(Ts) + fc . ta&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;N = force in Newtons required to break the cooked bacon.&lt;br /&gt;fb = function of the bacon type.&lt;br /&gt;fc = function of the condiment/filling effect.&lt;br /&gt;Ts = serving temperature. tc = cooking time.&lt;br /&gt;ta = time or duration of application of condiment/filling.&lt;br /&gt;cm = cooking method.&lt;br /&gt;C = Newtons required to break uncooked bacon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Considering the British spend £1 billion on bacon a year (that's nearly $2 billion in real money) this was apparently cash well spent. And now that they've solved this riddle of the universe, they can finally turn their attention to researching the more pressing matter of why British hotbox Sienna Miller just can't seem to keep her hands off me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://galleries.lycos.co.uk/d/14704-2/sienna-miller.jpg" border="0" /&gt;[h/t &lt;a href="http://www.yesbutnobutyes.com/archives/2007/04/building_a_bett.html"&gt;YesButNoButYes&lt;/a&gt;]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8515471557339037734-3835271132775615091?l=theunpleasantness.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://theunpleasantness.blogspot.com/feeds/3835271132775615091/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8515471557339037734&amp;postID=3835271132775615091&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8515471557339037734/posts/default/3835271132775615091'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8515471557339037734/posts/default/3835271132775615091'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://theunpleasantness.blogspot.com/2007/04/scientifically-drooling.html' title='Scientifically Drooling'/><author><name>David Casper</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02977113224125751896</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6089/437/1600/caspthtlessnoize.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8515471557339037734.post-2880957043812492935</id><published>2007-04-10T08:25:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2007-04-10T08:42:11.692-06:00</updated><title type='text'>Hallowang, or another excuse for girls to dress like sluts</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_XtZmYerJDIM/Rhuggm26zBI/AAAAAAAAATw/oeoH8PunSJE/s1600-h/hallowang1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5051807889073294354" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_XtZmYerJDIM/Rhuggm26zBI/AAAAAAAAATw/oeoH8PunSJE/s400/hallowang1.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;One of my favorite things about Halloween is that it's become an excuse for girls to dress in ways that would give their grandmothers heart attacks. Hell, some of the costumes would give me heart attacks if it weren't for my home-made pacemaker and regular diet of garlic and &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;nitro&lt;/span&gt;glycerin.

That's because their limp-wristed pouring action in combination with the weight of the bottle results in gravity taking over and some of the best pours around. Don't believe me? Take a look at the pour below.

It's far too cliche and, to be frank, sneaking into my neighbor's yard to steal roses is getting riskier and riskier with every passing day, especially when I give them back to her as a sign of my affection and a plea to re-consider the restraining order. Seriously, how am I supposed to shower if she won't let me in her bathroom?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Back to the point. Here's an awesome &lt;a href="http://www.robertbolesta.com/2005/valuepack.htm"&gt;meat font&lt;/a&gt;, even though it's really not so much a font as it is a bunch of pictures of raw beef packaged in the shapes of letters.

At first, this freaked me out a bit, because I was wondering how in the world a bar became sentient and then managed to create its own MySpace account, much less start seeking out friends. Then I realized that was just a very bigoted view for me to have and that I shouldn't be so judgemental. Bars are people too and should be treated as such. Therefore, from this day forth, I shall treat all bars as I treat all of my friends: by sneaking in and stealing all their liquor while they aren't paying attention, vomiting in their kitchen sinks and passing out in their bathrooms. Now, if only bars could somehow have girlfriends, I could &lt;em&gt;really &lt;/em&gt;treat them the way I treat my friends.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Oh yeah, and Have a Nice Day Cafe has a &lt;a href="http://www.cafemilwaukee.com/"&gt;website&lt;/a&gt;.

Even though he tries to laugh it off, we all know that inside he's crying. So I'm thinking it might be some consolation to my friend that Frankie is moving away from acting (if that's what you want to call it) and towards a more manly thing like &lt;a href="http://www.imdb.com/news/wenn/2007-03-30/#7"&gt;auto racing&lt;/a&gt;. Of course, Frankie may end up in a horribly disfiguring accident and the universe would balance itself out by having my friend attacked by a rabid howler monkey. With a switchblade. That knows karate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Now, after spending so much time talking about Frankie Muniz, my friend and monkeys, here's a picture of Hilary Duff, who was in a movie with Frankie and has spent all her time since washing off the cooties. If my suspicions are correct, she's been using the drool soaked love letters I've been sending her to do so.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://a1377.g.akamai.net/7/1377/8278/20061016192307/www.sephora.com/assets/dyn/brand/5845/5845_hero.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8515471557339037734-2222032475826602505?l=theunpleasantness.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://theunpleasantness.blogspot.com/feeds/2222032475826602505/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8515471557339037734&amp;postID=2222032475826602505&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8515471557339037734/posts/default/2222032475826602505'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8515471557339037734/posts/default/2222032475826602505'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://theunpleasantness.blogspot.com/2007/03/malcolm-in-middle-of-pack.html' title='Malcolm in the middle of the Pack'/><author><name>David Casper</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02977113224125751896</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6089/437/1600/caspthtlessnoize.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp0.blogger.com/_XtZmYerJDIM/Rg1k56h-FUI/AAAAAAAAAP4/cAf9ZITrD7A/s72-c/frankie2.png' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8515471557339037734.post-6590611945924134944</id><published>2007-03-30T07:02:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2007-03-30T07:09:04.688-06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Watch the birdie'/><title type='text'>Bird Watching - 03/30/2007</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_XtZmYerJDIM/Rg0Kn6h-FTI/AAAAAAAAAPw/xl9EqWoXLc8/s1600-h/birdwatching28.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5047702438195107122" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_XtZmYerJDIM/Rg0Kn6h-FTI/AAAAAAAAAPw/xl9EqWoXLc8/s400/birdwatching28.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Such determination is rarely seen in bird watching, but I gotta admit this guy really means it.

Rub it in that he'll never be the king because&lt;br /&gt;he married horse face.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;12noon - Lament mother's death.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;12:01am - Get in tank.  Drive to pub.  Buy pints for entire&lt;br /&gt;crew.  Blow up pub.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2pm - Nap&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7pm - Wake up.

I think I'll join them, only when I order my margarita, I'll ask that they hold the tequila, triple sec and ice and just put bourbon in the glass.  You see, that's just how I roll.  No, not always drinking bourbon, but drinking bourbon, calling it a margarita and making clicking noises at women as they walk on by.

The guy on the left is named Scruffy. It has nothing to do with his scruffy hair, but rather the fact that he's ready to get into a scruff at any given moment, just like he did with the plate of buffalo wings I offered them right after this picture was taken. Man, he tore that shit up!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8515471557339037734-4483744153156472626?l=theunpleasantness.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://theunpleasantness.blogspot.com/feeds/4483744153156472626/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8515471557339037734&amp;postID=4483744153156472626&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8515471557339037734/posts/default/4483744153156472626'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8515471557339037734/posts/default/4483744153156472626'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://theunpleasantness.blogspot.com/2007/03/bird-watching-03242007.html' title='Bird Watching - 03/24/2007'/><author><name>David Casper</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02977113224125751896</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6089/437/1600/caspthtlessnoize.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp0.blogger.com/_XtZmYerJDIM/Rgb64zbR5jI/AAAAAAAAAOE/BBLRjTfeTpw/s72-c/birdwatching1.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8515471557339037734.post-1348560857363597063</id><published>2007-03-23T10:23:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2007-03-23T12:23:05.715-06:00</updated><title type='text'>El Bandito</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;a href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_XtZmYerJDIM/RgP_mjbR5gI/AAAAAAAAANs/ix9yyBYdYOE/s1600-h/mencia.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5045157045394859522" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_XtZmYerJDIM/RgP_mjbR5gI/AAAAAAAAANs/ix9yyBYdYOE/s400/mencia.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; The first time I saw Carlos Mencia's stand-up routine I was happy to see that Paul Rodriguez was still working. Then I felt ashamed of myself for not being able to tell one Latino comic from the next. Then I felt angry because someone was making me watch this not-too-funny comic and trying to convince me that he was funny.

And as an extra-special super-dooper bonus you'll get the biting, witty commentary you've all come to know, love and respect. I'm just like a respected dignitary. Or priest.

Then I realized I was thinking of Bar Louis, which we actually do have, has crappy food and service, and so I suppose I wouldn't care if it had Hep A anyway. When I found out what a &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bar_Refaeli"&gt;Bar &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;Rafaeli&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; was, I suddenly became extremely concerned over this development and did a little research. Turns out one of &lt;a href="http://www.tmz.com/2007/02/27/did-beyonce-get-hepatitis-from-wolfgang-puck/"&gt;Wolfgang Puck's catering employees has the Hep&lt;/a&gt; and has been working at a bunch of star-studded events. Just &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;freakin&lt;/span&gt;' great. It's bad enough I have to get $600 haircuts and buy all my clothes from Armani to be celebrity cool, but now I have to get a damned liver disease too! Is there no end to this?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;(I should note that this really isn't new news, but instead an excuse for me to post a picture of Bar &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;Rafaeli&lt;/span&gt;. To &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;prove&lt;/span&gt; that, here's one more.

On the flipside of that I think it's safe to say that sober girls are, well, sober. Not a lot you can say about that, other than, oh yeah, sober girls are &lt;em&gt;not fun&lt;/em&gt;. I mean, could you find a picture of three girls at a drinking related event having less fun? Maybe you could if the picture was taken right after one of them had been told her boyfriend was cheating on her with her brother, but even that would be a stretch.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;This picture is from a &lt;a href="http://www.fuelmilwaukee.org/cwt/index.aspx"&gt;FUEL Milwaukee&lt;/a&gt; event. FM is a regular gathering of young professional Milwaukeeans. It's also the polar opposite of the &lt;a href="http://www.milwaukeehappyhour.com/"&gt;Milwaukee Happy Hour&lt;/a&gt;. Now, I'm not saying you need to get all drunk and crazy to have a good time, just that you should get all drunk and crazy to have a good time.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Just as a reminder, here's a picture from MHH. See the difference? (hint: There's a girl &lt;em&gt;kissing&lt;/em&gt; &lt;em&gt;another girl&lt;/em&gt;.

Little did I know that Eddie Van Halen was hanging outside the clinic waiting to inject himself with the blood they took out. Maybe he did it to somehow achieve the rockstar immortality Richards has, or maybe he just did it to spite Valerie Bertinelli so that someday people will look at these pictures and say, "why was Valerie Bertinelli once married to a zombie?" But seriously, Eddie, was that necessary? I've found that all it takes to spite Val is kicking her kitten. I'm not sure if that really spites her, but it sure makes me feel better.

Sure, maybe, but that's just the way biology is.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8515471557339037734-1766697366255395220?l=theunpleasantness.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://theunpleasantness.blogspot.com/feeds/1766697366255395220/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8515471557339037734&amp;postID=1766697366255395220&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8515471557339037734/posts/default/1766697366255395220'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8515471557339037734/posts/default/1766697366255395220'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://theunpleasantness.blogspot.com/2007/03/brady-bags-bundchen.html' title='Brady Bags Bundchen'/><author><name>David Casper</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02977113224125751896</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6089/437/1600/caspthtlessnoize.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp3.blogger.com/_XtZmYerJDIM/RfFvdPcEJgI/AAAAAAAAAGw/nHY1q2Op5tE/s72-c/gisele.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8515471557339037734.post-304170568736833980</id><published>2007-03-09T08:21:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2007-03-10T15:18:46.722-06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Watch the birdie'/><title type='text'>Bird Watching - 03/09/2007</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_XtZmYerJDIM/RfFte_cEJfI/AAAAAAAAAGo/-NV9LNdyBbo/s1600-h/birdwatching12.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5039929837196944882" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_XtZmYerJDIM/RfFte_cEJfI/AAAAAAAAAGo/-NV9LNdyBbo/s400/birdwatching12.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Some people love me.

And when I say anyone, I mean &lt;em&gt;anyone&lt;/em&gt;.

Me, I stick with the infamous or the insane. So I felt a little odd when I saw this picture and the first thing that occurred to me was that I would tag that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Maybe it's because she falls into the insane category. Or maybe it's just because I'm lonely.

Frankly, I'd never heard of her before today, but I gotta admit I'm seriously impressed by her body painting abilities, and want to see more of it. Much more of it. But first I'll need to get more fluids in my body because after seeing these pictures, I think I'm about to pass out.

Apparently a bunch of her friends thought he was the funniest thing since sliced bread, which now makes a lot of sense because sliced bread really isn't that funny at all. In fact, sliced bread is almost exactly the opposite of funny, unless it's buttered with Father Guido Sarducci, in which case it would be the funniest thing ever. Note how with all that I just said, nothing points to Dane Cook being anywhere near funny. That's because he and his fans are all tools.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've heard of this knob-shine being referred to as the "frat boys' comic," which means a lot of guys are going around saying things like "yah, brah, Dane Cook is the shizzit." Since most of these guys are white, that they're using words like "shizzit" to describe anything should be the first clue that their opinions are about as worthless as Dane Cook's entire routine. All we can hope for is that the ghost of Richard Pryor, who once said "If you ain't funny then get the fuck off the stage, it's that simple," will haunt Cook and set his head on fire.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And since you've tolerated my rant, here's a picture of Rachel McAdams, who is as hot as Dane Cook is un-funny.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block;

Macy about &lt;a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0486946/"&gt;middle-aged guys riding motorcycles&lt;/a&gt; I'd have punched them in the face and told them to stop taking me for a fool.  Well, I guess I'd have to take that punch back and apologize.  Then I'd have to drive to Hollywood and punch all four of these actors, starting with Tim Allen because he owes me money.  But maybe that's why he took the role, to pay off all his debts.  As for Martin Lawrence, I think he's just trying to occupy his time until he makes &lt;em&gt;Martin: The Movie&lt;/em&gt;, which he'd better get done soon because the older he gets the worse he looks in drag.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8515471557339037734-1819136996397891361?l=theunpleasantness.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://theunpleasantness.blogspot.com/feeds/1819136996397891361/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8515471557339037734&amp;postID=1819136996397891361&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8515471557339037734/posts/default/1819136996397891361'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8515471557339037734/posts/default/1819136996397891361'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://theunpleasantness.blogspot.com/2007/03/hollywood-hates-me.html' title='Hollywood hates me'/><author><name>David Casper</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02977113224125751896</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6089/437/1600/caspthtlessnoize.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp0.blogger.com/_XtZmYerJDIM/RexPBCYGGpI/AAAAAAAAADw/5L4j_iD66Aw/s72-c/WildHogs.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8515471557339037734.post-1975296556067277351</id><published>2007-03-05T10:12:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2007-03-05T10:24:31.380-06:00</updated><title type='text'>Basketball and beer</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_XtZmYerJDIM/RexDSCYGGoI/AAAAAAAAADo/yHTmaljnIvs/s1600-h/MUGame.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5038476060275382914" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_XtZmYerJDIM/RexDSCYGGoI/AAAAAAAAADo/yHTmaljnIvs/s400/MUGame.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Saturday night I had the luxury of witnessing &lt;a href="http://www.jsonline.com/story/index.aspx?id=572910"&gt;Marquette's victory over Pittsburgh&lt;/a&gt; in a Bradley Center suite. One thing people may be unaware of is that these suites are always stocked with gigantic cans of beer. The two beer limit the suite owner usually imposes is therefore misleading, as I typically end up drinking somewhere between 10 and 15 gallons of MGD each time I'm there. Coincidentally, after the first beer, I also realize I'd make a much better mascot than any team has to offer and attempt to prove it right then and there. This last time, I was a monkey in the fetal position.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;On a completely unrelated topic, I also discovered how easy it is to take random pictures of people in a gyro joint at 3am without anyone noticing. Most people would take note of a man with a camera-phone pretending to be monkey holding a gigantic beer can, but apparently Greek food has this way of making people ignore the obvious.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5038474080295459442" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_XtZmYerJDIM/RexBeyYGGnI/AAAAAAAAADg/LQPKaRcgbvk/s400/drunkgirl.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8515471557339037734-1975296556067277351?l=theunpleasantness.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://theunpleasantness.blogspot.com/feeds/1975296556067277351/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8515471557339037734&amp;postID=1975296556067277351&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8515471557339037734/posts/default/1975296556067277351'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8515471557339037734/posts/default/1975296556067277351'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://theunpleasantness.blogspot.com/2007/03/basketball-and-beer.html' title='Basketball and beer'/><author><name>David Casper</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02977113224125751896</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6089/437/1600/caspthtlessnoize.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp0.blogger.com/_XtZmYerJDIM/RexDSCYGGoI/AAAAAAAAADo/yHTmaljnIvs/s72-c/MUGame.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8515471557339037734.post-951616625177411674</id><published>2007-03-05T09:57:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2007-03-05T10:05:26.324-06:00</updated><title type='text'>Some show about "singing"</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_XtZmYerJDIM/Rew-EyYGGlI/AAAAAAAAADQ/N_590dLvCAw/s1600-h/antonella.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5038470335083977298" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_XtZmYerJDIM/Rew-EyYGGlI/AAAAAAAAADQ/N_590dLvCAw/s400/antonella.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; I don't watch &lt;em&gt;American Idol&lt;/em&gt;, mainly because I prefer my musicians to have earned their success the hard way, with things like rehearsing in their parents' garages, heroin addictions and making deals with the devil.

For one thing, if I'm kicked out of one I end up on some sort of "list" that gets me kicked out of all of them. And since I'm not a fan of them to begin with, I end up being kicked out a whole lot. I suppose that could be a good thing, since I'm sort of consolidating my efforts when it comes to being banned from some place, so, you know, silver lining and all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But what really gets me is when I see a line to get into a bar in Milwaukee. Saturday night some forty people had to be waiting in line to get into Bar Louie on Water Street. Even more sensible people were seen to be yelling such things as "there's no freakin' way I'm waiting in line to get into Bar Louie!" or "You're all a bunch of stupid &lt;a href="mailto:X@$"&gt;X@$&lt;/a&gt;#! sheep!" (I was in the second group.) I just don't understand how with as many bars as there are in this town anyone would want to wait in line to get into what's really nothing more than an Applebees serving fancy drinks! Or why they just don't carry their booze in a brown paper bag and listen to music on a boom box on the street corner the way I do. No lines there, baby!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8515471557339037734-943705640582606184?l=theunpleasantness.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://theunpleasantness.blogspot.com/feeds/943705640582606184/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8515471557339037734&amp;postID=943705640582606184&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8515471557339037734/posts/default/943705640582606184'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8515471557339037734/posts/default/943705640582606184'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://theunpleasantness.blogspot.com/2007/03/out-of-line.html' title='Out of line'/><author><name>David Casper</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02977113224125751896</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6089/437/1600/caspthtlessnoize.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp0.blogger.com/_XtZmYerJDIM/RewdBCYGGjI/AAAAAAAAADA/lGveW20F3Wo/s72-c/long%2520line.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8515471557339037734.post-4223772383294852395</id><published>2007-03-03T14:18:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2007-03-09T08:24:22.844-06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Watch the birdie'/><title type='text'>People Love Me</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_XtZmYerJDIM/RenYSiYGGiI/AAAAAAAAAC0/Z4H8gOd8eYg/s1600-h/plm1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5037795471167724066" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_XtZmYerJDIM/RenYSiYGGiI/AAAAAAAAAC0/Z4H8gOd8eYg/s400/plm1.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; If there's one thing I know to be true, it's that my endearing personality and rock star charm make people want to be my friend and give me things without my even having to ask.

Those are for amateurs and I consider myself a seasoned professional. The difference between us professionals and amateurs is that we not only know the exact amounts of alcohol required to make us stronger, better looking and more charming, but also exactly how much alcohol is required to make &lt;em&gt;other &lt;/em&gt;people better looking.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But after finding out about &lt;a href="http://www.milwaukeehappyhour.com/"&gt;Milwaukee Happy Hour&lt;/a&gt; and browsing through some of the pictures from previous events, I may be convinced to tone down my A-game and run with the amateurs for an evening or two. After all, if the attendees look anything like those in the picture above (minus the girl on the left who for some reason was included in the photo in spite of her wearing far too many clothes), the hour won't be the only thing that's happy. And by that I'm talking about something in my pants, just in case you didn't get that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8515471557339037734-540855990750520848?l=theunpleasantness.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://theunpleasantness.blogspot.com/feeds/540855990750520848/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8515471557339037734&amp;postID=540855990750520848&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8515471557339037734/posts/default/540855990750520848'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8515471557339037734/posts/default/540855990750520848'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://theunpleasantness.blogspot.com/2007/03/milwaukee-is-happy.html' title='Milwaukee is Happy'/><author><name>David Casper</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02977113224125751896</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6089/437/1600/caspthtlessnoize.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp0.blogger.com/_XtZmYerJDIM/ReifeCYGGhI/AAAAAAAAACo/cOolUN5kc7I/s72-c/mkehappyhour.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
