Are We This Lazy?

Every once in a while, something in a grocery store grabs my attention and makes me stop as I race to the junk food aisle. I saw this in the store the other day and was stunned. This is a pre-packaged trio of hot dogs on a bun. For the same price of 10 franks, you can get three microwavable hot dogs on a bun. Is that worth it. Good idea or height of laziness? I enjoy dogs, but I will gladly do the work of placing it in a bun and get more meal for my money.

Best Season Ever?

February 27th, 2007 by Woody!

jack bauer blindfold.jpgHave you been keeping up with another one of Jack Bauer’s bad days? I am completely on board this year. You gotta love another great season from Kiefer and Co. So it got me wondering where it stacks up compared to the other five infamous days. I think it holds up very well and is probably the best all-around season so far. It may not be the greatest, but this experienced staff seems to have figured out how to shed amnesia, CTU agents’ retarded family members, cougar attacks, illogical moles, and other aspects that have previously bogged down the Jack Bauer Power Hour. I like how they’ve taken the time Jack is not on screen and used that to focus on the consequences of living in a heightened state of terrorist-fear. It’s a very even level of quality throughout each hour. The highlights of this year may not be as high as before, but the lows are nowhere near as bad.

By the way, looove that promo. Totally kickass. Too bad they didn’t use that here in the States. Or did they?

Let me know how this year’s 24 stacks up to previous years and you get a Sock Point.

Blog Worth

February 26th, 2007 by Woody!

I cant’ remember where I got this from, but I’ve been meaning to post this for a while now. Don’t know why I never get around to it, so I’m just going to throw it out now.


My blog is worth $4,516.32.
How much is your blog worth?

Maybe I never did this because I don’t know what to make of this info. Four and a half thousand dollars? Says who? That sounds good. But is it? I have no idea. Click on the link to see how much yours is worth. Of course, how I could actually turn the site into a money making machine, I don’t have an inclination or clue one at this point.

Lack of Wii-mote Control

February 25th, 2007 by Woody!

I’m probably a little late to the party but I read an article about a site that documents Wii-related home damage. The site hasn’t been updated in well over a month but there’s enough pictures of controller carnage to make up for that fact.

By the way, nice pink wrapper for your package there, Goat! He tried to pass it off as lightish red, but I wasn’t going to accept that. After all, they already have a color for that… it’s called pink.

Buckeye Fans Are Still Bitter

Heh. Mascot violence is funny. I’m pretty sure that most of these reactions are legit. My theory, thouugh, is the last guy is a plant. But I could easily be wrong.

What Did We Do?

Originally uploaded by Woodmania.

Yeah, I’m mailing it in today. Between the site crash and a busy week, I’m not quite up to snuff. As Herb pointed out when I said “the snow is thawing” in my neck of the woods and “the ground going to MELT this spring.” Umm… did I actually type that? Yikes. Apparently so.

Sorry, folks. I’ll try to do a better job next week.

No More Theme Weeks

February 22nd, 2007 by Woody!




Tight Leash

The site crash earlier this week brought back memories to a similar one a little over a year ago. It followed a “theme week”, Dating Week. Ironically enough, this latest crash followed another “theme week”: Kid On A Leash Week. Maybe the server is revolting against theme weeks on the Sock Drawer. Or maybe the site can’t handle the disturbing pictures of all these kids being dragged around by adults.

Winter Was Here

February 21st, 2007 by Woody!




Icy Trees

Originally uploaded by Woodmania.

Old Man Winter made his presence known in the last couple weeks. And by that, I mean he actually showed up. Kind of ironic that this kind of weather shows up AFTER furry meteorologists predicted an early spring. Inches of snow fell, which meant Cincinnati roadways and schools had to be shut down. Not so much for the conditions, but for the crappiness that comes out in area drivers when “White Death” is on the radar.

Although, this sounds kind of weird talking about this now since the snow is thawing. I guess this would have made sense to bring it up a couple days ago as I’m tromping through melted puddles now. I guess timeliness is important.

Are We On?

The Sock Drawer

Originally uploaded by Woodmania.

Okay, I think that little bit of fustercluckedness has passed. As you may have noticed, the Peelio family of websites have been down for the early part of this week. Well, I guess the site wasn’t down… it’s just that I couldn’t update it and two days of data were loss. So, you had two days of old material staring at you in the face. Sorry about that. I’ll try to get up and running here again as quickly as possible. Or maybe I’ll just phone it in for the rest of the week.
