Guess Who Needs A New Laptop?
Me.
I just want to use this post to scold and shame Adam for “ruining” (and that’s a euphemism) my laptop and forcing me to get it professionally cleaned and re - booted; which was not cheap.
Adam, next time you want to check out whaletails.com or one of the many other weird niche adult sites you forgot to clear from my history, at the very least do it on your own computer or...

Football Players Adam Can Beat Up
Really liked your list, Adam. Let me make a few changes to more accurately reflect who you could actually beat up.
Football Players Adam Can Beat Up:
NOBODY
There. That’s more accurate.
You see, Adam. These men are professional athletes whose job requires them to be in top physical shape. Not only are they required to do strength and endurance training, but you have to be pretty tough...

Flush-tered
Trying to land one more big sale before lunch, which some would say is pressing but I look at as a habit of a top 5 salesman, and I got a flusher.
For those not in the game, “a flusher” is someone who answers the phone while they’re on the toilet, and you don’t know it until you hear them flush.
It’s completely inappropriate, disrespectful, and almost never leads...

Ders' Thoughts - Football Sideline Collisions
Football is a full contact sport. I get it. What I don’t get is when football players run into people on the sidelines and knock them over (refs, photographers, cheerleaders, etc.) why don’t they ever help them up or at least check to see if they are OK?
Is there some rule that you aren’t allowed to stop and be a decent human being and make sure that the (often much smaller)...

Road to Redemption
Tiger Woods continued his climb back to the top this weekend with an impressive 38th place finish at the Frys.com Open. Tiger’s short game was much more consistent than we’ve seen in the past year and I think one or two more tournaments and he’ll be right back on top where he belongs.
However, it wasn’t all smiles and sunshine for Woods, as a deranged fan threw a hot dog...

Ders' Picks- Disaster Strikes
Rough week gang. I hope you played for entertainment purposes only, because, if you didn’t, chances are the rent check might bounce. If you own, at least you can borrow against your home equity until things turn around, but, I, I need to get better. It’s not all my fault, though, and it wasn’t ALL BAD.
The good: The Green Bay Packers are the World Champs, proved it to the...

HOLY SHIT
Drive, don’t run, to see DRIVE.
Mad Men chick didn’t get topless, and it’s not available in 3D, but DAMN. You will not leave the theater missing either one.
Think I just locked up my Halloween costume…

Ders' Picks - Week 5
Now that I have your attention, click below for my Week 5 NFL Picks…
Rough week for The Ders in Week 4, I flew to close to the sun and was surprised when I caught fire, and not in the good way. This week, I guarantee a 3-1 record agains the spread, so bet big, bet often, and I “bet” you’ll have some extra scratch in your pocket.
Oh, and for legal reasons, these picks...

Re - Watched Purple Rain
After pretty much losing my shit over the album Purple Rain, I decided to give the movie another shot.
I wish I could say that my renewed appreciation for the soundtrack caused me to see the movie in a whole new light, but unfortunately that just wasn’t the case. It was still the same tableau of madness that I remembered.
Sort of sucks that it turned out this way, but my feelings...

Alice is Running It
Still no TelAmeriCorp Employee of the Month. Alice called us in to the conference room this morning, and gave us a real how-to. The numbers were up, slightly, but still not good enough for government, or telemarketing, work.
Homegirl was saying she thought some people might lose their jobs, but she’s weird and is always saying something; I’d trust her as a news source the same day...

This Is What It Sounds Like...
…When Doves Cry.
I was listening to Pandora on the computer and a song came on that sounded kind of familiar. I wasn’t really paying attention, but I was definitely getting into it so I looked over and it was none other than “Purple Rain” - the title track from the eponymous film.
I have some major issues with that movie which I listed here. But after hearing that song...

Camp DeMamp: DeMamp's Too Dude List →

Posting this in hopes it motivates me to finish. Had this on a post-it for a few weeks, but as Ders says, “Judgement and Shame Make the Globe Go Spin.”
Get up to a slim 2 hundo, 3% body fat
Enter the 2011 Tri-Valley Amateur Bodybuilding Competition
Finish my short story about that dream…
I never said that. Cease and desist quoting me, DeMamp, or I’ll send a...
