6 Things

that make me happy. For Beth @ http://linemysky.blogspot.com/

1. Guitar. Mine include: Ovation Strat Ibanez and my newest baby the G & L

2. My camera. Looking forward to the autumn in New England, which never disappoints for amazing shots.

3. Sushi. Years ago I would never have thought about eating this stuff, but have come to love it over the past couple years. Favorite sushi includes: Seven Moons TJ Blue Ribbon Sushi.

4. Mew's Tavern. 69 Beers on tap and delicious food, what more could a young man want?? Also, they make my favorite chili ever . . . sorry Aubergine : /

5. Science Fiction. Robots/Space Travel/nuclear home appliances/aliens . . . enough said. Essential reading is anything by Isaac Asimov
Watch: Star Trek/Star Wars/The Outer Limits (TV)/X-Files/Starship Troopers/Blade Runner etc etc etc

6. Crossword Puzzles. I know I talk about them more often than not, but there is no feeling more satisfying than finishing one : )

Son of the Beach

I don't know if any of you remember this show, but it was and remains one of the funniest things I have ever seen.

Basically, the show was a spoof on Baywatch. The stories were centered around Shore Patrol Force 30 (SPF 30 for short - already qualifies as awesome). SPF 30 was lead by Notch (short for Notchibald!) Johnson, an old, dim-witted life guard. Throw in a well endowed blonde, a sexy ethnic chic (PCness??), a not so well endowed blonde and an Arnold Schwarzenegger parody and you have a winning combo. Could you expect anything less from a show backed by Howard Stern?? Not to mention cameos by Alan Thicke, David Arquette, Mark Hamill and many others (incl. John Salley!).

If you find sexual innuendo and general adbsurdity funny, you would love this show.

AND holy shit! I was looking up a youtube link to put at the end here and found this awesome commercial for 1-800-COLLECT that I had forgotten about. Featuring Mr. Rommell from Son of the Beach!

The only clip I could find on youtube was an outtake reel, but it should give you a great idea about how ridiculously awesome this fucking show was/is!
