The institutional mouthpiece of Kjel.org

You want to know what is awesome? Really? You want to know? Let the CEO tell you what is awesome: owning two houses, but living in the one that doesn’t have air conditioning while the one that has a newly optimized A/C unit sits vacant. Capital fucking A Awesome. Our portable unit (AC-D2 as he is called) is buried in boxes at the other house and a pain in the ass to move anyway, so for now, I am taking my air straight from Mother Nature. And Mother Nature is presently being a royal bitch.

It’s 98 degrees outside my house right now according to the Kjel.org weather station (others might call it a thermometer), but only 85 inside according the thermostat. I got a feeling inside will catch up with outside pretty soon. Great.

The CEO will not be giving a narrative account of a certain recent road trip to the beach and will neither confirm nor deny certain things that may there have occurred. Side note: still no word yet from the rental company re getting that damage deposit back.

I will instead present you with quotes from assorted Will Ferrell characters. Read into these quotes what you may.

Frank: Anything? Well, uh I guess I, deep down, am feeling a little confused. I mean, suddenly, you get married, and you’re supposed to be this entirely different guy. I don’t feel different. I mean, take yesterday for example. We were out at the Olive Garden for dinner, which was lovely. And uh, I happen to look over at a certain point during the meal and see a waitress taking an order, and I found myself wondering what color her underpants might be. Her panties. Uh, odds are they are probably basic white, cotton, underpants. But I sort of think well maybe they’re silk panties, maybe it’s a thong. Maybe it’s something really cool that I don’t even know about. You know, and uh, and I started feeling… what? what I thought we were in the trust tree in the nest, were we not?

Buddy: I thought maybe we could make ginger bread houses, and eat cookie dough, and go ice skating, and maybe even hold hands.

Frank: I told my wife I wouldn’t drink tonight. Besides, I got a big day tomorrow. You guys have a great time.

Ron Burgundy: I love scotch. Scotchy, scotch, scotch. Here it goes down, down into my belly…

Frank: [after funneling a beer] Fill it up again! Fill it up again! Once it hits your lips, it’s so good!

Frank: [laughing] You’re… you’re crazy man. I like you, but you’re crazy.

Frank: I see Blue! He looks glorious!

Ron Burgundy: Knights of Columbus, that hurt!

Frank: Damn it. I’m such an idiot.

Mustafa: Hello up there. Is the movie over? I’m still down here… and I’m still in quite a lot of pain. Maybe someone in the lobby could call an ambulance. Oh, the pain is really quite severe. I… I’ve fashioned a makeshift splint. Here goes nothing. Aaaa…

Buddy: You smell like beef and cheese, you don’t smell like Santa!

Mugatu: They’re break-dance fighting!

Ron Burgundy: Boy, that escalated quickly… I mean, that really got out of hand fast.

Frank: What happened? I blacked out.

Frank: You tell anyone about this and I’ll fucking kill you. I’m kidding, I’m kidding, we’ll have him home by midnight.

Frank: Don’t worry. The pledges will clean it up.

Buddy: So… do you wanna eat food?

Ricky Bobby: Dear Lord Baby Jesus, I want to thank you for this wonderful meal,

Buddy: [to the racoon] Does somebody need a hug?

Ricky Bobby: Well let me just quote the late-great Colonel Sanders, who said…”I’m too drunk to taste this chicken.”

Ron Burgundy: [after jumping into the grizzly bear pit at the San Diego Zoo] I immediately regret this decision.

Ricky Bobby: [after a girl flashes him] Please be 18

Frank: Yeah, what kind of gun is this?

Chazz: I permanently call shotgun.

Frank: I just wanna tell you guys thanks for being here. Best day ever.

Ron Burgundy: We are laughing and we are very good friends. Good buddies sharing a special moment…

Frank: I had an awesome time

Price recently reduced!

Fuck you Down Housing Market. You too Soft Economic Indicators.

I suppose the message on that sign is better than Foreclosure Imminent but still. The suck-level gauges at Kjel.org recently passed yellow and are approaching a light orange-ish zone. Once the needles hit burnt sienna the CEO might start to lash out a bit and/or go slightly catatonic. Let’s not get to that point. You don’t want to know what happens when they hit the redline. Seriously, help me sell this place. Send this link to anyone you know who might be interested in getting out of a rental or an apartment and into a nice starter home in SW Portland. Based on my latest calculations I estimate that I am ~six months away from faking my own death. I’d rather not. Please help me out here. The CFO would also appreciate it.

The Organization, Parenting tips from the CEOJune 13, 2008 9:27 am

The CEO learned an important lesson last night: if you are going to serve up leftover General Tsao’s chicken to a three year old and call it dinner, it is extremely important that you remove every single chili pod from the good General’s delicacy. Daddy, fire emergency in my mouth!! I kept his milk glass full. The lad kept eating it and asked for more, so it couldn’t have been too bad.

Upon finishing our chicken we then tucked in to two big pieces of leftover birthday cake. A good dinner, but cheeseburgers and more cake tomorrow night will trump it I think. The CFO is in Arizona for a few days in case you didn’t know.

The CEO put year #34 in the books yesterday. #35 starts today. I’m hoping this next year is slightly less eventful on several fronts than the last one. Confidence in that happening? Moderate to high actually. So long as I can avoid having another child, buying and selling (any day now, buyers!) a few houses, moving, and changing jobs then I just might be able to make that happen.

AC/DC onesie? Check. Camo shorts? Check. Useless baby shoes that makes him unable (or at least less likely) to cause injury when he kicks Daddy? Check.

“Look at me! I can stand! The world shall soon be mine!”

Kids these days worry me a little bit.
