Elvis has left the building, Yoi!

Tuesday, the voice of the Pittsburgh Steelers on radio, Myron Cope, hung up his microphone.

Now while I have become a die-hard steelers fan over the last 5 years, I rarely listened to Cope’s broadcast. Granted, he was the truest example of the Pittsburgh stereotypical accent that you could find.

Myron (pronounced Mahrn) came up with the terrible towel and came up with the term, “Immaculate Reception.” He is retiring because operations on his throat have not improved his health or his voice.

Prayers and wishes to him in his retirement. The team and the sport will not be the same to the fans who’ve listened to Cope for generations.

A word about back pain

Well, yesterday after a week of mild to severe pain, I figured I should get it checked. Well, to be honest, I felt hospital was a good solution when I got to the point of not being able to walk.

So, I went to emergency and they shot me in the butt with morphine.

They put me on hydrocodone and flexerall. A fun combination. This combined with the morphine made me a very stoned Andrei last night.

Today… many more errands. My task list grows longer even while I pop off tasks.

Today’s list: bank, faxes, changing addresses, more packing boxes, key pickup, etc

The fun stumble of the week was finding out my registration lapses the day we leave, not at the end of the month. Picked up a handy-dandy “one-trip” registration from DMV. This lets me drive the car out of state.

Yesterday I released the analogue files for the local OTO body treasury to my successor. Just organizing the digital files now.

Hi all,

Well, as expected; shimmeringjemmy has also come down with the crud that I got last week. Unfortunately, while not as expected, I’m now a week in and still suffering from back spasms.

So, I’m putting out a general call and request. I’d like to invite folks over during the evenings this week (Well generally anytime Monday-Wednesday) who wouldn’t mind helping us do some packing. We will joyously supply food and the like to any that might care to join in the ‘fun’

Please either drop a comment or some email to me. (We’d rather plan ahead than have anyone suddenly surprise us.

Anyone’s help will be appreciated.

Maybe I should just boycott India

Got a phone call this afternoon asking me to take a survey on my pizza delivery from yesterday. Annoyingly, the caller spoke some of the worst broken English I’ve dealt with. The accent was most assuredly Hindu/Indian in origin.

She was calling on behalf of a survey company purchased by the Pizza dealer. Yet, was unfamiliar with the product line.

I really wish there was a way to detect, “Yes, this person is in India” and terminate the call.

This gives me a chance to display my new icon (at least the first stab at it)…

I call it Bunnythwump.

I’ve wanted this icon for a while. The moment I saw the video, I had to eventually make the icon.

I painstakingly made it by hand by taking frame-by-frame pictures of a quicktime movie of the flash movie “Everyone Else Has Had More Sex Than Me.” – If you haven’t seen this work already, go view it at the previous link. If you have seen it…. Go watch again. Then look at other animation by Bernard Derriman at his website Squetch.

That is all for now. And yes Virginia, there is a 9-post-in-a-day-Andrei.
