I almost cried when I saw the following online quiz. As Bill Walton might say, "It is the greatest online quiz of all time."

Which "The State" Character Are You?

Appropriately, I'm

So I like bagels, I'm cheap and I'm not made of deli meat. What's a guy to do?

While you're on Froggy Jamboree, don't forget to check out the Christmas Cards sent by each member of The State. Man, I'm so jealous. Do you think they'd be willing to send me Chanukah cards?

I've started off my week with a new deodorant. I've been using Right Guard Xtreme Sport Power Stripe for quite some time now. I'm usually against products that use the word "extreme" as a marketing gimic, and even more passionately against those that leave off that first "E" in the word. But how can you resist that power stripe? It's an extra dose of odor protection.

Unfortunately, the terrible and tiny Giant grocery store by me in Alexandria did not have ANY Xtreme Sport Power Stripe deodorant when I was there last night. (Wegmans when are you coming to Virginia?) But regular Right Guard Anti-perspirant was $1 off. So I figured, "Why not."

But now I'm going through the "new deodorant switch" where you try and figure out how best to use thew new stuff. See, with the Xtreme Sport Power Stripe deodorant, four swipes on my underarm would get me through the day without making me smell too much like "sport" or "active fresh" or whatever smell I had last chosen. But it seems that four swipes might be too many for regular Right Guard deodorant because as I sit here at my desk, with every breathe I take I can smell just how "fresh" I really am. And I bet that as I walk down the hall I leave behind a trail of "Alpine Fresh" for my co-workers to enjoy.

I don't want to actually smell like my deodorant, I just don't want to smell bad when I sweat. Man, I really lead a difficult life.

Operation Iraqi Freedom has begun. I was a bit worried for everyone's safety because you just don't know what is going to happen. Well, fears be gone - Optimus Prime is going to war. I don't think we have too much to worry about now.

Transform and roll out!

Hey, how'ya doin'? Good, good to hear it. Oh, me? Yeah, I'm good. Work's been busy lately, but I'm getting by. I haven't been able to get outside as much as I'd like though. Yeah, the weather, I know. It's been beautiful. Well, except for that rain this morning. Yeah, I hate it too. Especially during rush hour. You get stuck in that traffic this morning? Oh, it was terrible - like a parking lot. Yeah, stop and go the whole way. Took me about an hour to get in. No, I didn't hear about Liz. 2 hours?! That's terrible. This city has to do something about this. It's a mess.

Oh, well hey, I gotta drop these off to Bill and then I need to grab some coffee. I didn't get my morning cup and I don't know if you're like me but I'm a zombie before I get my coffee. I know what you mean. Alright, I'll talk to you later.
