They can't all be hilarious (can they?) and I'm a caveman among other things

You may have come to expect daily hilarity from me based on my prior submission and you're right, you may, but it's not always going to be my intention, so be forewarned.  Also, I am visually obsessed...



 Take the cast of Cavemen, which may or may not have been an actual TV show, for instance...  The creators   figured if Cavemen were alive now (*and they are) they'd be broken down into these three demographics: "Dude", "Dude-lier" and "Business Casual".  I hate myself for having to say this but if a business casual caveman has pressed pants and shined shoes, wouldn't he shave and cut his hair as well?  Fully assimilate God damn it!!!!  I may or may not get back to this and Brendan Fraser's character in California Man... remind me if I dont...

... wouldn't he shave and cut his hair as well?  Fully assimilate God damn it!!!! But alas who am I to talk...

((((((((who am i to talk))))))))

 A few months ago i took a real long hard look at nutrition, yadda yadda yadda, *The Paleo Diet.  Here's the gist of it: http://www.earth360.com/diet_paleodiet_balzer.html .  I am not going to go into much of it myself but last night Ashley and I cooked our first Paleo specific dinner, it was delicious.  Here's the recipe Rockin’ Moroccan Chicken and here's what our's looked like (sans 2 bowls)



















We used some curry powder in place of the cumin

I took this picture when I was just a young lad from the back seat of my parents' care en route to Disney World, Great great times



















Compositionally, not too shabby either....


If you've never been to South of the Border I weep sliently, right now, deep inside my heart for you.

On a yearly basis we would pack up the family truckster (metallic pee?) and "take the whole tribe cross-country", well from Philadelphia Pa to Orlando Fl and it... was... pure... magic.  Driving there was absolutely half the fun... so let me set this up...  to get to Orlando from Philly you basically drive 1000 miles south on I-95.  (95 South was a group that had the hit song 'Whoop there it is')  Anyway, just about half way to the mile between Philly and Disney is this amazing THING called South of the Border.

What is IT exactly?  it's everything...  a hot dog stand, a motel, a gas station, a mall, a fireworks supermart, a restaurant, a rest stop, an observation tower, a highway overpass, EVERYTHING,  decrepedly dressed up in neon and cobwebs.  It's where I learned what a car-port was, i mean god damn it our motel room had a covered place to park your car!!!!!  It blew my mind!

The South of the Border management aka Pedro and his amigos were also marketing geniuses... 300 miles AWAY in both directions on I-95 they started putting billboards catering to the young and young at heart.  And these billboard continued the whole way, greater and great frequency.



 





























Trust me, you never sausage a place....
