Rock Update

The following is from wrestling-edge.com on The Rock winning the "Gimme the Mic" award.

The Rock starts with… “Finally the Rock has come back to New York City. (Heat) Back to you Chris Jericho, you remember that, you interrupted the Rock, the Rock won’t forget it, you won’t forget it, the fans won’t forget it. For old time’s sake Chris Jericho, the Rock says this, why don’t you take that microphone, shine it up real nice, turn it sideways, and stick it straight up your candy ass!” More heat for Rock and I mean REAL heat. Rock tells Jericho to take his punk ass off the stage but leave the little TV there, that’s the Rock’s award… “and brush your teeth.”

One moment the Rock was just thinking about… “Where’s Kurt Angle. Yeah… hey Kurt, good to see you. How you doing? Rock’s doing good, thank you. There’s one moment, you and the Rock, we made history… face to face, one on one, great match, great night, in your hometown, Pittsburgh, the Steel City. Tell your boys, Team Angle. That was a great night… that was when I beat you. Rock has a better name for your team, Team Suck Squad… shut up, the Rock will deal with you when he comes back.”

He talks then to Stephanie, who made first his life a miserable hell but now makes everyone else’s life a miserable living hell. “You are and forever will be a five dollar, no two dollar, no thirty-seven cent, all I have is a quarter, tip your waitress, blow out your candles, the Rock says blow out the candles not the pool boy, half priced slut!” He then wants to talk to Goldust who made fun of the Scorpion King, he and Booker T. He congratulates them for their recent work, but Goldy will always be a “sick ffffffffffffffffffffffffreak.” Fans then chanted “Boring” at the Rock’s taped video and almost no one did the “millions” line, he HAS to come back heel, where he should be always and forever.

He says in a month and a half he’ll be back doing what he does better than anyone else, but NO pop for it at all. He congratulates Raw on being electrifying… if you smellllllllllllll… fans wanted it over with. No love for Rock, and that’s harsh, especially considering he was on video and what he said did not at all match with the audience. Yikes.


Wow. I guess the fans are pretty mad at the Rock for leaving for such a long time.

Went to eat at the Prado today. Mmm, mmm. Good food there. I shouldn't have had the Vanilla Ice. Vodka sucks.

In-N-Out Easter Eggs

Ever wonder what the little bible quotes sublty printed on the In-N-Out paper packaging mean? Let's investigate:

REVELATION 3:20 (burger and cheeseburger wrappers): Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.

JOHN 3:16 (soda cups): For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.

PROVERBS 3:5 (milkshake cups): Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.

NAHUM 1:7 (Double-Double wrapper): The LORD is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; he knows those who take refuge in him.

JOHN 14:6 (H20 cups): Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

DOUBLE-PLUS BONUS - SECRET MENU ITEMS:

Want to be "in the know" and order all the super special secret items at In-N-Out that aren't on the menu? Of course you do! No, this is not a joke. We've tried it and it works.

"Animal Style" - with mustard, sauteed onions instead of raw, pickles, and extra "special sauce"

"Wish Burger" - no meat, i.e. veggie burger.

"Protein Style" - lettuce wrapped around the burger instead of a bun for all of you who are in "The Zone"

"Old Fashioned Style "- **!! NOTE: There is NO such menu item as "old-fashioned style". After having tried and failed to order a burger this way, we learned that if you don't want the special sauce, just say "Ketchup instead of sauce" OR "Ketchup and Mustard instead of sauce".

"Flying Dutchman "- two meat patties with cheese. That's it.

"Double Meat "- Double Double without cheese.

"4x4"- 4 meat patties with 4 slices of cheese. Are you SURE you can eat that?.

"2x4"- 2 meat patties with 4 slices of cheese for the fromage afficionado.

"Grilled Cheese "- cheeseburger, sans meat.

"Fries - well done"- get your fries extra crispy and brown the way you like them!

"Choco-Vanilla Swirl Shake" - just what it sounds like.

"Neopolitan Shake" - a blend of chocolate, vanilla and strawberry shakes.

I just saw Lord of the Rings: Two Towers thrice.

Here is the link to where I found it.

Quick Note Before I Update

I know it's been over two weeks since I last updated, but I just thought I'd share this with you: (I'll talk to you about my wonderful xmas, new year's, work and lord of the rings!)

How much is my body worth?
You're worth more than you think!

A great number of people have spent a great deal of human and financial resources calculating the composition of, prior to the decomposition of, and the worth, or worthlessness of, the human body.

When we total the monetary value of the elements in our bodies and the value of the average person's skin, we arrive at a net worth of $4.50!

This value is, however, subject to change, due to stock market fluctuations. Since the studies leading to this conclusion were conducted by the U.S. and by Japan respectively, it might be wise to consult the New York Stock Exchange and the Nikkei Index before deciding when to sell!

The U.S. Bureau of Chemistry and Soils invested many a hard-earned tax dollar in calculating the chemical and mineral composition of the human body, which breaks down as follows:

65% Oxygen
18% Carbon
10% Hydrogen
3% Nitrogen
1.5% Calcium
1% Phosphorous
0.35% Potassium
0.25% Sulfur
0.15% Sodium
0.15% Chlorine
0.05% Magnesium
0.0004% Iron
0.00004% Iodine

Additionally, it was discovered that our bodies contain trace quantities of fluorine, silicon, manganese, zinc, copper, aluminum, and arsenic. Together, all of the above amounts to less than one dollar!

Our most valuable asset is our skin, which the Japanese invested their time and money in measuring. The method the Imperial State Institute for Nutrition at Tokyo developed for measuring the amount of a person's skin is to take a naked person, and to apply a strong, thin paper to every surface of his body. After the paper dries, they carefully remove it, cut it into small pieces, and painstakingly total the person's measurements. Cut and dried, the average person is the proud owner of fourteen to eighteen square feet of skin, with the variables in this figure being height, weight, and breast size. Basing the skin's value on the selling price of cowhide, which is approximately $.25 per square foot, the value of an average person's skin is about $3.50.

The Nazis, during the Holocaust, used human skin as a substitute for leather in the manufacture of lampshades and shoes, among other things.
