Zom-Com story board for London's bitch ass

This is my rebuttal video to London's story board...sorry.

Urban Meyer Polk Theater

This Monday I had the honor of seeing one of the best college football coaches of my time. Last May Urban Meyer was scheduled to attend a speaking engagement/fund raiser for the Polk County Gator Club ,but was monsooned out. Since Polk county football appears to have a pipeline to UF, I believe he felt he might want to throw us a bone. So he returned for another try.
The event started out with a raffle of various signed memorabilia and then moved into some alum and booster speeches. Then came the VP of athletics promotion to get everyone hyped before Coach Meyers came out. He did his shpeel about the coach and then showed an awesome video. The video was a montage of plays from the previous season and locker room jumping around set to rap music...it was bad ass. Urban then came out cracked some jokes and ran through the roster a bit. He then showed a video about leadership featuring President Obama. The video was taken from the teams visit to the White House after they won the National Championship this year. It was also a highlight reel of both the SEC Championship and the Orange Bowl. When that was over Coach Myer broke into his motivational mode and told the story of Black Hawk Down. He invited the commander of that mission to speak to the team this year in the off season to set the tone for the upcoming season. The gist was that you have to prepare for the tough times and hope for the best. The whole thing was short sweet and to the point. I imagine the guy is pretty busy seeing as how we are less than 50 days away from the start of the season. So it was pretty nice of him to take the time.
It's not hard for me to get excited for Florida Football, but this event just made it a little easier. Go Gators

Donkey Punch

If you ever wondered what a Donkey Punch was...

Movie Review: The Soloist

The Soloist is a story of a schizophrenic music savant and his friendship with a LA Times reporter. The film is based on a true story and stars Jamie Fox and Robert Downey Jr. The acting in this movie is impeccable but the direction is suspect. Fox and Downey continue to crank out Oscar worthy performances and don't show signs of letting up any time soon. If not for over reaching by the director this would be a must see Oscar hopeful of 2010. The director, not for a lack of trying, tries to take us into the mind of the schizophrenic. There is a light show in the middle of the movie that goes a little long and these loud fits that make me want to FFW. It ruins the tempo of the movie, where you should be feeling sorry for Fox's character, you want to push him in front of a car. There is a point in the movie where Downey's character ominously says that if the story were made into a book there would be no ending. Low and behold this prophecy comes true, only instead of a book it's a 2 hour movie. Final thoughts, this movie is a pass for me. You can see the superb acting in the 20 second preview. Leave it at that. I'll give it 2.5 jars of a homeless crazies piss

Recipe: Easy Asian Pockets

For a couple of years my wife and I were buying those little recipe books from the checkout isle just to try some different meals. I found this one and it was an instant favorite.
Ingredients: 2 Boneless Chicken Breasts, 1 packet of Chicken Flavored Ramen Noodles, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 8 .oz can of pineapple chunks, Water, 1 Red & 1 Green Bell pepper, four 1'x1' sheets aluminum Foil.
Cook Chicken (Grill or Pan cook), cut into chunks

In a cup in a half container add the spice packet from the noodles, the pineapple juice from the can of chunks, 2 Tbs of soy sauce and enough water to make the other ingredients equal 1 1/2 cups.

Shape aluminum foil into a bowl. Split the noodle square into two pieces and place a half in the bottom of the pocket. Split the cut up chicken and bell peppers into the two separate bowls. Add the liquid and seal up the bowls.

Place the pockets on top shelf of your grill @ med low heat and close the lid. Rotate after 10 minutes and remove after another 10 mins.


Dump the contents of the pocket into a bowl and enjoy.

Movie Review: Bruno

The streak is over...thank you Sasha Baron Cohen. I was beginning to wonder if I would ever enjoy going to the movies again. I'm still getting shit because I didn't think the Hangover was that great...I am willing to give it another shot now that I am feeling better. It still surprises me that, at this day in age, people will still walk out of a movie. We have Rotten Tomatoes, movie trailers, news papers and the internet to inform us about what we are about to watch. Are there still people out there that walk up to a theater and just give it a little "eeni meeni mynee moe?" The people in my theater edured some of the worst stuff only to leave when the movie starts to lose it's shock. Not to say it's any less shocking at any point but you certainly become desisitized after seeing five minues of pigmy f-ing. This movie, much like Borat, is only for people who "get it." Cohen is just having fun of at the expense of all of us, which is exactly why he is so brilliant. The movie is not quite as good as Borat but it is still worth seeing. Final thoughts...see this movie, not for the dancing penis, do it to hear the groans as people walk out in discust. Also, If you liked Borat and Bruno you need to go rent Da Ali G Show it is better than either movie. I'll give it 4 uncomfortable homophobes walking out

Chad's Famous Hot Wings: Grilled

I have perfected a wing recipe years ago. Until today I have always fried the chicken first. Since I try to eat healthy as much as possible, I figured I would try my sauce out on some grilled chicken wings. They turned out like I thought they would...damn good!
Ingredients: Chicken wings, Frank's Red Hot, butter, honey
I use the chicken wing recipe on the back of the bottle of the Frank's. To give it that extra something I add about 2 Tbs of honey. Add or subtract butter to adjust the heat. Bam...there ya go.

Healthy Big Kahuna Burgers

This tasty recipe came to me while trying to spruce up a normal turkey burger. Although Julse Winnfield never tells us whats in a Big Kahuna Burger, this can't be far off.

Ingredients: 1 lb of Ground Turkey, Lawrey's Teriyaki Marinade, 2% Smoked Provolone Cheese, 1 Can Sliced Pineapple, Ketchup and Whole Wheat Hamburger Buns


Prep: Mix 3/4 cups of Marinade and Ground Turkey. Let sit in fridge for an hour.
Cooking: Heat your grill or frying pan on medium. Form ground turkey into four uniform patties. Cook until meat is brown throughout or about 15-20 minutes. Place four slices of pineapple on the grill about 10 minutes before the burgers are to come off. Cook pineapple 3 minutes each side.

Place pineapple on the burgers when done and cover with cheese. Remove the burgers when cheese is melted. Slap this stunning concoction between two buns...hahaha. "mmmm...That is one tasty burger."

And no Julse, you can not have a sip of my beverage to quench your thirst. "What ain't no country I ever heard of. They speak english in What?"

Independence Grillin'

Last week, leading up to the Fourth, I grilled out every day except for one. I felt like I needed to feel out my newly purchased grill before I fed others from it. According to my wife, I made some of the best steak she has ever eaten. I think I really like this grill.
I have been practicing my rib making over the past five months using other peoples grills when I could. This quest came from attending the Lakeland Pig Fest (best BBQ ever). The ribs there sent me into such euphoria I knew I could not wait a whole year before having them again. I've tried to find good ribs from a restaurant but they just didn't do it for me. So, I started to read articles on the Internet about how to get the best fall off the bone ribs without having a pit or smoking grill. I believe I have found the perfect method. My guests this past weekend can attest to that.
Ingredients: 1 rack of Pork Spare Ribs, 1 can of Chef Paul's BBQ Magic and 1 Bottle of Good Sweet BBQ sauce (your choice)
Prep the Ribs by removing the "membrane" on the back of the ribs (very IMPORTANT)

You should also scrape most of the fat from between the rib bones with a fork. Once you have trimmed off most of the fat you are ready to season. Roll out enough aluminum foil to wrap around the ribs so that you can seal them. Liberally sprinkle the BBQ Magic on both sides of the Ribs.

Seal them in the aluminum foil, throw them in your oven (top rack) and Bake 225 for about 2 1/2 to 3 hours minimum. Don't worry; they will not dry out. In fact, beware of the juices that will be retained in the foil when they are done. Now that we have oven roasted the hell out of some ribs, they are ready for the grill. Set the grill on low heat and slap those puppies on there. Baste them in BBQ sauce turning every couple minutes and adding more sauce for about 15 minutes. Careful though, as the meat will be tender and will want to fall apart while flipping. The larger ribs will hold together a bit better, so flip from there.

If these ribs don't make you want to "slap yo mama" you've done something wrong. Enjoy

Movie Review: Public Enemies

Johnny Depp, Christian Bale and a bunch of other familiar faces in the story of a charismatic modern day Robin Hood directed by Michael Mann. Looks great when you put it like that, which is why I decided to check it out. The movie never really pulls you in. It plays out like; jail break, bank robbery, love story, bank robbery, jail break, bank robbery, Dillinger gets blasted. Oops...did I give away the ending? BTW...the ship sinks at the end of Titanic. This movie might be good for history buffs of the depression era, like the majority of movie goers are. It seems to imply a certain amount of knowledge into the subject before entering the theater, which I had little of. The style of direction is very familiar (see Collateral, great movie IMO. Tom Cruise plays a great crazy person...go figure). I am a fan of originality in film direction so I give it points for trying, but I think it works sometimes in this film and others is just too much. No complaints in the acting, how could I. Yet again I am disappointed by my movie going experience but this time I won't blame the Meningitis. I would say if you have the History Channel locked in at home you may want to check it out, all others wait to watch it on cable TV.

Fireworks

Long weekend

It's 7:00 pm on Friday. I am waiting on Amber to finish getting ready to go downtown to meet some friends and eat. Thus far I have played golf, eaten at the newly opened Hooters on the noth side of Lakeland and cleaned my house in prep for company tomorrow. It's first Friday and fireworks at the lake downtown, so it's going to be busy. I have some ribs and corn on the cob ready for grilling tomorrow. It will be nice to get out on the boat.
