No Shower

Friday, July 30th, 2004

It has been a rough week. While we were at Youth Camp (post about that in the works soon…) on the overnight camping trip, my bathroom was supposed to be getting a fix. The wall behind the showerhead was soft, so we needed tiles taken off, sheetrock replaced and a tub surround installed. [...]

Scene 1: Who or Whom?

Friday, July 30th, 2004

(Adapted from Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Names and actions courtesy of event that occur at the Rumor Forum.)
While most of these are inside jokes on the above forum, this scene more than others needs some prerequisite reading. To have full understanding of the below events, you need to have read this [...]

Kids Praise Kamp

Thursday, July 29th, 2004

Exactly one week after Heritage Youth Camp started (aka last night), the inaugeral year of Kids Praise Kamp began at our church. While the Youth Group is ages 12+, KPK is for the younger children ages 6-11. I’m not one of the workers for this camp like I was for Youth Camp, but [...]

Eye Need Relief

Thursday, July 29th, 2004

I just had the weirdest sensation that I should have noticed before, but never have. Keep in mind that I wear contacts. My eyes were feeling rather dry (and tired…can’t…keep…them…open…), so I put some eye drops in. As the drops hit and spread into my eye, my eye felt cool—but only on [...]

Scene 22: Inside the Cave

(Adapted from Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Names and actions courtesy of event that occur at the Rumor Forum.)
This scene was requested by Geof.
TYRANT GEOF:
There! Look!
SIR TREY:
What does it say?
SIR RUMORSAGE:
What language is that?
TYRANT GEOF:
BROTHER KIRK! You are a scholar.
BROTHER KIRK:
It’s Arminian!
SIR RUMORSAGE:
Of course! John Wesley of Arminianism!
SIR TREY:
‘Course! [...]

Scene 21: The Vicious FATMOUSE

Wednesday, July 28th, 2004

(Adapted from Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Names and actions courtesy of event that occur at the Rumor Forum.)
This scene was requested by Dano. I messed up when I originally posted this and made Rumorsage the opening Knight. It should have been Dano. I have since fixed it. I [...]

Upgraded to 1.2

Tuesday, July 27th, 2004

From the Admin: QwertyYuppy.com is now running WP 1.2.
I know, 1.2 has been out for awhile… but we wanted to be safe… Right Roger? Roger… Oh dear… maybe I deleted his account by accident.
Nope, he is still here (drat).

Treyja-vu

Tuesday, July 27th, 2004

On Brian’s blog yesterday I read a post about procrastination. It reminded me so much of something I read earlier on Trey’s blog that I decides to call the phenomenon “Treyja-vu” (regardless of which of them published it first, I read Trey’s first). Here’s the definition:
Main Entry: Trey•jà vu
Pronunciation: “tray-”zhä-’vü, trAY-zh[a']-v[UE]
Function: noun
Etymology: French, [...]

Scene 2: Bring Out Your Dead!

Wednesday, July 21st, 2004

As originally parodied by Mark Smiley. Let me give a little background for those who don’t know. On the below listed message boards (also linked to the right) they sometimes have a hard time distinguishing between me and Eric. Therefore we have earned the name RogEric. Gravyboy is a guy I [...]

Youth Camp, Here I Come!

Tuesday, July 20th, 2004

Tomorrow begins our church’s Heritage Youth Camp. This will be the third year (I think…, maybe fourth…) that we have had our own youth camp. My wife and I have been “lucky” enough to be part of the Youth Committee ever since the inception of this youth camp. I jokingly say lucky [...]

“If Jiminy Cricket were here right now, I’d skoosh him” –Calvin

Monday, July 19th, 2004

We get crickets in our house. At least they look like crickets. They are smaller than grasshoppers and not the same coloration, but they are bigger than little crickets. I don’t know what it is, but I call them crickets. They are annoying, mostly because they are not supposed to be [...]

College

Friday, July 16th, 2004

It took me forever to decide “what I want to be when I grow up”. Even then, after I decided, I seemed to change my mind quite frequently, even up to the last few months. I think I attribute my indecision to the fact that I’ve always wanted to have a broad knowledge [...]

Office Humor

Wednesday, July 14th, 2004

Patient comes to my desk needed a referral to an eye doctor for “dry eyes”.
Me: Have you seen an eye doctor before?
Patient: No.
Me: Where did you get the glasses?

Complimentary Whine

Wednesday, July 14th, 2004

I am uncomfortable receiving a compliment.
Most of you would say “What’s the problem? Who ever gives you a compliment anyway?” One part of me would say, You are evil! The other part would say, Too many. A very few number of people can constitute “too many” when you are uncomfortable [...]

Overtired - Revisited

Wednesday, July 14th, 2004

Today is my day to be overtired. I think its the benadryl (non-drowsy, so it is sure to make you sleepy).
Why am I posting this? Cause Roger hasn’t written anything, and I like causing trouble.

Overtired

Monday, July 12th, 2004

Saturday was a lazy day, so I had a hard time getting to sleep Saturday night. Sunday morning I was very tired and felt I needed a Mountain Dew to stay alert for Sunday School. Usually a Mountain Dew would keep me up for a long time and I wouldn’t be able to [...]

Heaven’s Invitation

Monday, July 12th, 2004

Matthew 22
The Parable of the Wedding Banquet
1Jesus spoke to them again in parables, saying: 2″The kingdom of heaven is like a king who prepared a wedding banquet for his son. 3He sent his servants to those who had been invited to the banquet to tell them to come, but they refused to come.
4″Then [...]

How come people with “Used Car Dealer” plates don’t have to obey any traffic laws?
