Yes, I've finally got around to it...Blog #50!
Ah...memories...that I wrote into digital myspace blogs that only has around 10 serious readers (with 6 of them actual subscribers)
It's been a while...let's update on what happened since my last blog.
In terms of my 11 things on my "To-Do List" for Summer, as of this writing, I have accomplished...10 of them, with the only one missing is to catch up on DVD watching.
I did go back to NYC with Sammie & Steve, and got this great pic:
A picture of a guy in a Spider-man suit in front of the M&Ms store in Times Square. For some reason or another, he has a backpack...apparantly full of pictures, that no one wanted to be bothered with. I knew that this wasn't the real Spider-man only because of the air holes in his mask!
I also took this great one:
Steve & I giving the finger to the McGraw-Hill Company Building. This insidious company makes most of the overpriced textbooks for us college students. It is because of these bastards is why we were practically broke for that day's trip. 
The only way this pic would've been sweeter is if someone was looking right at us through one of the windows. 
In other events, trhough some weird lucky chance, one of my frat bros (Pax) just calls me up on June 2nd saying "My friend has 2 tickets for the Weird Al concert tonight at Westbury Music Fair...you interested?"
If you know me, fast forward a few hours later where Sam & I were at the Weird Al concert. And it was awesome, and Sam finally got to see him live for the first time (which is something I highly recommend doing). 
Sadly, the only pics I have are too-bright pics of the stage on my cell phone. But we got to see him play all his great songs (Fat, Eat It, Saga Begins, Amish Paradise, Smells Like Nirvana, etc), as well as all but 3 songs off the new album (the ones not played were "Pancreas", "Virus Alert" and "Don't Download This Song"), and closes with singing a full version of "Alburquerque" (11:22 long)
In Ice Cream-related activities, I found "Willie Nelson's Country Peach Cobbler" and I have this mini review for it:
It's good...If you like Peaches (which I do). The ice cream itself is Peach-flavored with a peach swirl and bits of cinnamon shortbread pieces. To top it all off, there are actual slices of peaches in the ice cream.
Sadly, I don't have a pic of it, but trust me on this. Still, while I think it's a good ice cream, Americone Dream is better by far. 
Also, there was a little suprise that I got today when I went to the Mattituck annual Strawberry Festival was watching their first annual Strawberry Shortcake Eating Contest.
What I didn't know until it started was that it was an official IFOCE (International Federation of Competitive Eating) Event, meaning this was a real-live, honest to goodness Competitive Eating Contest! 
I've only watched them on tv and some weird afternoons on the Food Network.
Of course, like every local fair eating contest, there were the "Rookies" the casual people who didn't know what they were getting into, but the main attraction was that just about every non-Asian Competitive Eating "Legend" was there:
-Ed "Cookie" Jarvis (Didn't compete, but was a referee)
-"Badlands" Booker (also didn't compete, and did a rap off his new album)
-"The Mad Greek" (who is competing in his 6th Nathans Hot Dog Eating Contest on July 4th)
-"Big Mike" (I think that's what his name was), so ungodly fat that the festival didn't have a Strawberry Festival Eating Contest T-shirt in his size, around XXXL (I think the only one was snagged by Jarvis)
-Brian Seiken, the current Pickle-Eating champ.
-I'm pretty sure Joey Chestnut was there, as I heard that one of the guys with the rookies was a "French Fry Eating Champ" and that he got nowhere near the top 3.
-"Crazy Legs" Conti, my favorite out of all of them. He wore a red Cowboy Hat and did the "Regurgitating Rope" trick after the contest was done. He won 3rd place.
-"Eater-X" who won 2nd place, who also competed with his dad, Peter.
-"Deep Dish" Patrick Bertolelli, who won by eating 15 1/4 lbs of Strawberry Shortcake in 8 minutes. A feat that impressed me friend Steve.
There were some others there, but I don't remember their names, or that the announcer that was there couldn't be understood at times because of all the noise. All in all...freaky experience. It's something that I would never do...unless it was that French Fry eating contest, I'd be all over it. Come to think of it...I'd probably kick some ass in a Chicken Nuggest eating contest too. A Blogger can dream...
Finally, the reason why this post was so delayed...I was supposed to post a Top 50 list here...of the greatest Animated Villains of All Time. 2 Problems arose:
1) I only have 47 entries
2) Very complicated thing involving Microsoft Word and that my copy is a trial version...which had expired at the beginning of the month and I can't download a new one.
If anyone has a Product Key for a full version of Word 2007 Standard Edition, that would help me (and this blog) out IMMENSELY! Thanks in advance.
And there you have it...Notice that I didn't try to be annoying and post the word "Blog" 50 times?
