Just got back from the Scranton St. Patty's day festival.  I highly HIGHLY recommend it to anyone next year.  That shtein is insane.

They should do an episode about it on "The Office".

My family is from Scranton over by Clarks Summit.  I might have to check that out next year NGM

Ha, I think I heard that 50 times yesterday.  Also there actually is a Dunder Mifflin. Weird.

Biscuit, do it.  You won't be sorry.

Why I love the internet...


So, my wife is cleaning out the refigerator a while ago when one of the brackets that holds the crisper drawer in place decides to break.  The refrigerator is only a couple of years old, so naturally, she was upset as hell over it.

No problem, I say.  I'll just Google the model number of the refrigerator and look for the part in question.

It took me roughly five seconds to find it and another 2 minutes to order the exact part from a parts wholesaler.

Total cost to replace the part:  $23.14 including shipping and handling.


God Bless Al Gore for inventing the intarwebs!

I fixed my dryer - twice - the same way.

I ran a 5k footrace today for charity.  I've never run in a race before.  I met my goal of running the whole thing.  Clocked in 29:37.  Not bad considering I never run or jog.  Last time I ran 3 miles was a couple weeks ago, to see if I could do it and before that, 8 years ago when I was in college.

I think I'm ready for a marathon now.

TV Nerd answer:

They want to but probably never will. The festival/parade is this week, it would be impossible to shoot all the stuff and edit it so it can air before or any st. patricks day. if it airs after, its just stupid. the producers do want to shoot in scranton, but it'll probably just be a regular episode that can air whenever the hell.

Israel has recalled its ambassador to El Salvador after he was found bound, drunk and nude, a spokeswoman said Monday.

The longtime diplomat, Tsuriel Raphael, has been removed from his post, and the Foreign Ministry has begun searching for a replacement, ministry spokeswoman Zehavit Ben-Hillel said.

Two weeks ago, El Salvador police found Raphael in the yard of his residence, tied up, gagged and drunk, Israeli media reported. He was wearing several sex toys at the time, the media said. After he was untied, Raphael told police he was the ambassador of Israel, the reports said.
