Bears – Running on Fumes

Latest and greatest Blue Bell offering –

Spoiler: it is really really really good! Not as good as the Chocolate Lava Cake, but very good indeed! Tastes like cold coffee which is probably what they had in mind. I’d like to see (ahem, taste) a chocolate coffee mashup. Maybe I can sell this idea.

Blue Bell also brought back the Cookies n Cream Cone flavor. Of course I bought it. I also found Kimberly’s Bake Shoppe sugar cookies which coincidentally taste just like their cupcakes. It’s not going well for me.

What else can I sell? All this crap that broke my closet at 0430 one Sunday morning. I thought someone was breaking in. Then I thought someone was dead. It was early, ok? After a purge, maybe a few tears, and Home Depot’s online ordering, I’m the proud new owner of a closet organization system. Rated for 1K lbs.

I have another fantastic idea! What if we nix all trade tariffs between us and Canada in favor of them sending us a polar cold front? We can call it La La Canada.

On the subject of training, ’tis NFL season again! I didn’t watch any preseason because a) what’s the point and b) my streaming services didn’t offer the games.

Go Bears.

I ask you –

What is your favorite ice cream flavor of all time? As much as I love Blue Bell, my favorite is the Cappuccino Chunky Chocolate frozen yogurt from Braum’s.

Who is your team? The Bears, right?!

The return of running. And football. Mostly football.

First time in 3 years I’ve been able to watch preseason games AND regular games, notably the first game of the season! I’m an accidental Cowboys fan, and a purposeful Texans fan. I also watch the Bears (muse homage), the Buccs (wild card), and the Browns (underdog meets graveyard). I don’t know why I enjoy football now. Truthfully, my knowledge is little and my voice loud.

Speaking of loud voices. I’m getting really tired of hearing “…it’s stupid to have people work on holidays. I bet the boss doesn’t work on holidays”. (Read that in a childlike, nasally, whining voice.) If the complainer would ever say it to my face, I’d say this: Listen here, jackwagon. I worked every weekend and holiday until about 5 years ago. I had bills to pay and a livelihood to afford. If someone doesn’t want to work a holiday, then they can complete a leave request, like every other able-bodied adult here because I don’t employ children. Somehow I bet you’d be angry if everyone was off because there would be no one around to refill your precious body soap dispenser and toilet paper. Trust me, you’d find something else to complain about, no doubt. So if you think I don’t work holidays, let me assure you, I do. I work every day. I’m the first call at 0445 and the last call at 2145. I’m on call 24/7. That’s what it means to be a supervisor to 21 adults. I balance the budget, I justify it, and I implement it. And if you think you can do better, then be. my. guest. Otherwise, shut up, do your little workout, and go home. I’ll be home, too, but I won’t be “off work”. Enjoy your holiday, you ungrateful fruitcake.

Back to football. The cowboys are really gonna have to get it together this year. The fact they didn’t win their season opener with a healed QB, the ejection of the big dude who spit, the early injury of that other big dude who was really mad, and a weather delay…we might be in trouble again. But, whatever.

I’m just here to make fun of the fans.
