Peakah's Provocations...

Found this on my bro's site and it is totally hilarious. As he noted, whoever put this together was an unemployed crazy person...

Check it out!

I'm a total wreck when it comes to maintaining a strict diet... please forgive me all of you who are in our bloggin' group who is attempting to lose weight, but I have been anticipating this for days... (btw, I did weigh in 2 pounds lighter after the first week, and this is my celebratory dance!)

...considering the meltdown on Wall Street of epic proportions, my solution is to cook and eat my favorite snack.

If you would like to lose your appetite, read this article...

ANYWAY...

My wife wanted to start blogging some recipes after hearing the rave reviews of her cooking from friends and family. She mentioned Jalapeno Poppers (one of my buds call 'em Armadillo Eggs for traditionally 'poppers' are breaded and fried) but I was thinking "Hey, that's my dish!" So I figured I'd beat her to the punch and post them first... perhaps a severe tactical marital error but I'm going to enjoy these while they last!



Start with the largest jalapenos you can find, generally the largest ones are not as hot as the smaller ones but there is no guarantee... the larger ones are easier to stuff and besides, they hold more CHEESE!

Cut across the top of them just below the stem but only halfway through, then cut down the length of the jalapeno enough to open it up to allow you to scrape the sinew out of them to make some room for the yummy cheese.



I stuff them 90% with good ole Philly cream cheese then put some shredded Mexican cheese in for extra flavor... then comes the yummy yummy bacon... MMMMMmmmm bacon...



Wrap and secure with toothpicks then get the grill nice and warm. These are best cooked over a nice warm campfire on a chilly night in the woods but tonight we'll make do with the backyard grill.



Before you know it, they're hot and ready baby!!



MMMMmmmm... this is by far one of my favorite snacks. This cracker from Upstate NY would never have dreamed of eating peppers like I now do, but I got to tell ya, there is nothing like it. HEY, they're full o'vitamin C and antioxidants and those are healthy things right?

Y'all are about to understand how hard it is going to be for me to commit to this weight loss challenge...

Just check out my wife's site...

So a 5 year old hits a hole in one... but can he hit 11 holes in one in one round? I think not...

Does Obama's faith matter? To me, not really... he has enough strikes against him regarding his policies which would SINK our economy and a foreign policy that would result in homicide bombings of our local pizza joints and coffee shops.

However, when one is being interviewed, particularly for President of the United States of America, one does not usually have a slip of the tongue that would admit to adherence to a spiritual faith other than the one he supposedly is. Naturally, with the help of his friends in the media, he will weasel his way out of a situation that would sink any other candidate.

For instance, there was a time in my life when I found solice in an ancient Native American way of belief that provided insight into this life for me; but if ever asked about my faith, there would be no hesitation regarding the faith I had been dedicated to.

Discussion of spiritual faith should be a discussion that would touch one at their core. The fact that there would be any confusion regarding the issue highlights the absolute confusion that hides within the core of Barack Hussein Obama.

Then came this video which lends damaging physical proof of Obama's spiritual confusion...



The question remains... do we know enough about Obama to hand him the reigns of our suffering country?

Wyatt was all over this as soon as it broke...

Glenn Beck broke this story...

Palin Bikini Photo's

Glenn discussed at length today whether or not to publish the authentic bikini photos he uncovered of Sarah Palin. There have been several fakes passed around on the internet, but these are the real deal. People have been searching around for these pictures like crazy on the web---so Glenn is going to tally up the numbers of clicks we get on these pictures and report them back to you on Monday's program.

Warning: If you do not want to see Sarah Palin in a bikini...DO NOT CLICK the link below.

Heheh... ya sick twisted freak...

Ok, it's official... I'm a fatso.

My bloggin buds Wyatt, RT, Ssssteve, and a few others are challenging themselves and eachother by reporting their weights to eachother and publically monitoring their diets and exercise through their blog sites. RT is even going to mail out prizes (Ho-Ho's and trips to the local chocolatier I hope) to those who display the most progress.

I sat by earlier this summer as I watched their posts while shoveling my head full of chips and salsa (my favorite snack) while washing it down with a Mexican beer... or 4, as they performed the same challenge with eachother and had wonderful results. I figure it's time I join in considering I'm at least 35 lbs over my desired weight. At 5' 10" and now a bit more stocky than I was in my youth I think weighing in at 185 would be ideal.

Right now I'm 218.2 lbs...

So it's time to hold myself accountable for my weight/health. This is new for me for I've always been the smallest person in my class growing up. I had always been athletic, slim, and in excellent health. 10 years of marraige later (and man my wife can COOK!), 5 kids later, and 10,000 barbeques later... things have changed. I've adopted the figure of a pear. Meanwhile my kids are getting older (Tyler will hit double digits in a month and a half) and interested in sports, and I'm getting dusted by my kids on their bikes.

Labor Day we went to the park and I found myself panting while playing baseball... BASEBALL?!? You've got to be kidding me! THERE'S NO PANTING IN BASEBALL!!!



It is on... no excuses, I live right down the street from the town's park with wooded walking trails and it's time I hit 'em each morning. It's time I put away the cerveza and pick up the water bottle. It's time I shrink my eating portions... It's time.

Thanks Wyatt and RT for encouraging me and getting me motivated to be the hot stud my wife fell in love with all over again...

...now, any of you reading this decide to get involved and not be ashamed to proclaim your weight, comment here or at RT's to document weekly progress. It's all good, we're all family here... the upside way outweights the downside of public disclosure, so don't be shy! Let's get to where we need to be together!

The occasional spit bath is just what the sistah ordered...



This is the best video clip of either convention.

...well, maybe not so much...
