Oh My I’m Getting Lazy

I tried the new word recognition in Vista and I’ve got to tell you it is worth the upgrade.

I can just talk to my computer and open programs, give commands and dictate documents and email with surprising accuracy.

It has a few problems with my southern dialect, like the word drawer. I have to pronounce the word like Norm Abram would on “This Old House” before it knew what I said. We don’t put much emphasis on the “W”.

Now if I could just get a Segway so I wouldn’t have to walk….no, then I would have to stand.

Speaking of lazy…I was commuting this morning in The Beast, when I saw a fellow beside me with a stump grinder. On his truck door was like, “Bubbas Stump Grinding Service” and a phone number.

I thought, “You know what? I need a stump grinder man”.

I picked up the phone and he answered. I explained my condition and he said he would grind the stump for $100.

One hundred dollars!! I would even show up and look at the stump for $100. What a deal! Forget my coal idea, Bubbas’ coming over. I’ll drink a beer and watch him.

What's the beer of choice?

Chris, that’s a tough question. I’ve never been asked to pair a beer with stump grinding.

For general beer drinking I prefer a light beer like Miller, Rolling Rock light, or Michelob Light. These are also good tailgating beers at football games.

If I am into a little more body I would get a Bud, Michelob or even a Pabst’s blue Ribbon. Don’t laugh, Pabst’s is good beer.

If I’m feeling summery, I’d grab a Corona and a lime, maybe a Red Stripe.

For the more sophisticated mood I would grab a Sam Adams, an Anchor Steam, a micro brew, or one of my home brews.

For stump grinding, I may select light beer, perhaps followed by a home brew.

For 100 bucks right now I would do just about anything - even burn your stump.
Only 3 more days till payday...

LOL - I mean "grind" your stump.

Somehow stump grinding and home brew sound like a match made in heaven.

You guys are crazy.

looks like Ali is making some sort of proposition...

Surely with all of the twisted minds around here I'm not the only one that finds the humor in Ali offering to "grind" your stump for $100...

Well...yes...I was being a gentleman. It is funny.
