"Decisions, Decisions" Tip of the Day
Guys, I know we have a hard time deciding on things. Whether it's between sausage or canadian bacon, Ford or Chevy, holy matrimony or lifelong bachelorhood, Arsenal or Manchester United, Legos or Lincoln Logs. I admit, sometimes we get stuck, astounded by the vast array of options in front of us, afraid to commit to any one of them, for fear of offending the pepperoni.
But gentlemen, it's time we committed! Or as Shakespeare said, in a completely unrelated context, "Once more unto the breach, dear friends!"
So without further ado, I'd like to present you with the solutions to the quandaries introduced above:
1) Canadian bacon does have an exotic reputation going for it. After all, it's international! You can almost envision those stoic bacon miners, the wild and free men of the great white north, delving deep into the earth in pursuit of that elusive vein of canadian bacon ore! Sadly, and I don't mean to disillusion anyone, but it's really indiscernable from sliced ham. Save yourself the heartache - go with the sausage.
2) Here's a simple rule of thumb: Chevy for cars, Ford for trucks. Ford will never make a car to match the Corvette, and Chevy will never make a truck to challenge the F-350. It's practically an unspoken mutual acknowledgement. Not that anything could ever come close to the near-sublimity that is the Porsche 911 Carrera GT2.
3) Here's a no-brainer. As thoroughly fulfilling as Madden '06 no doubt seems at the moment, it will eventually leave a void that not even Madden '07 can fill. Unless you can stomach the thought of your significant other making out/having kids/growing old/finding perpetual bliss/playing Madden with someone else while you languish in the increasing solitude of middle age, this shouldn't be a difficult decision.
4) Go with Arsenal. Clearly.
5) As cool as Lincoln Logs are (and they're pretty cool), they don't even begin to compare to the awesome glory that is Lego. Who doesn't get a thrill, a rush of adrenaline when they see those plastic blocks? Who hasn't known the joy of putting together a 1,000-piece castle or pirate ship or space station? Who hasn't secretly wished for a head with a peg on top, that you could snap your hat onto? Pick the Legos.

Hopefully this tip isnt too controversial. After all, canadian bacon and lincoln logs both have some serious devotees...
That sounds like a love song, Kris. You should write it.
Where's everyone else out there? Hello?
Lonely nights at home
With a controller in my lap *tap tap*
CHORUS: Why couldn't we play
Madden forever, baby?
Just you and me
And the PS2, maybe?
And the defense breaks through the line
Like you broke my heart that time
That one last time
CHORUS
BRIDGE: Did you have to go and blitz that other guy?
How could I just give up without a fight?
How can I survive another lonely night?...
CHORUS
;)
re: tip itself--well....too true, too true.
re: Madden--what is this, some sort of a card game like Dutch Blitz? (noticed your use of that word there, Andy.) J/K, PEOPLE! I actually took a video games class in grad school. It's true. My 'colleagues' were showcasing their academic talents by playing online RPGs 60 hours a week (yeah, you heard me), whilst I was struggling to fulfill my gaming requirements by making it through the first level of "fellowship of the ring." true story.
re: song--scarily accurate and creative. but only if it comes with some air guitar.
thank goodness this conversation is electronic.
I do think Andy's comment receives the award for "Most Elaborate TodD Comment Ever"™.
And I agree about Ford trucks over Chevy trucks, but Chevy cars? Are we willing to wholeheartedly shun the Mustang? Isn't it kind of an American icon? I don't think I'm emotionally ready to let go.
and a video game class sounds spectacular
I'm totally hitting the air guitar over here. in my mind, anyway.
Gosh, decisions do seem to get harder as you get older, don't they?
Just kidding...but seriously, I've got to get rid of a lot of stuff. Candles? Beauty products? A toaster? A bookshelf, a desk?
