Walmart Cover-up

A massive cover-up has been discovered at Walmart. Thanks to one honest employee by the name of Chris. Tonight Chris happened to be working the phones and let it slip that they had just recieved some Xbox 360’s. Naturally, I informed Darin and we rushed over. Upon arrival Mike at electronics said he didn’t know anything about it, and some weren’t expected till “later this week”. I said, OH NO YOU DON’T. So with the cell phone my in-laws had gotten me for Christmas I called Chris back right there. He said oh yes a manager said they had some in stock. Then Mike calls up his dark lord sith in training, we’ll just call him evil mexican guy with a strut or emgwas. Emgwas goes to “look” for them and comes back empty handed. I call Chris back again, he is “unable to identify” which manager he talked to. Mike calls the manager on duty and she informs them of other places to look. Emgwas “looks” at these locations and comes back empty handed again. At one point I overheard Mike and Emgwas talking about where to look up the barcode, Mike said why don’t you call home and get the number off of yours.. Therefore, if you want an Xbox360, or any other hard to find cool electronics, just get a job at the Orem Walmart Electronic dept. As a side note, afterwards I bought some milk and in casual talk with the front register lady, I mentioned we got shafted out of our Xbox 360 even though it seemed everyone who worked at Walmart had one. The way she agreed so whole heartedly, I knew she wanted to tell me about the cover up but was being watched. DARN YOU WALMART ELECTRONIC DEPT EMPLOYEES!

Married Lessons

It’s good to exercise (By Joy)

Tonight Pace and I went to the Smith Fieldhouse at BYU to exercise. We walked/jogged around the indoor track. I like it because it’s easy on the joints and it’s not 20 degrees in there like it is outside. The whole exercise thing is a good thing because if we don’t make it a point to do so, we are definitely considered “sedentary” in my book, because we don’t do much other exercise. At least when we were in school, we had the excuse that we had to go to and from school, and walk across campus to all our classes, and go running with people of the opposite sex just to try to impress them, etc. But now, that isn’t the case. I feel much happier when I get exercise in, especially because being prego like I am, my weight has skyrocketed anyway. But as you can see from this current photo of me here, I don’t look too bad… 😉 Please, everyone, please exercise, especially all those married people like us who are getting fat. Thank you.

New McBlog Features

Today I wanted to point out new features on McBlog. There are some new ways to stay on top of comments, I thought if I made it easier for everyone to see comments, then people would make more. On the right hand side bar there is a new box that captures the five most recent comments. And now under each post, there is a link that says expand comments, this way you can see if there have been any replies to what you said or just catch up on what’s going on without having to load the comment making page. Hope you enjoy the new features and I hope it will help generate comments from people I know read this but don’t ever comment (Dad, my inlaws, grandparents, etc)

How bout the lowest 10? Values range from 1.55 as the highest (Motorola), and .12 from the lowest (Audiovox).

Beyond Balderdash

In an attempt to get you to post more using the comment link below each post, we will be play a twist of Balderdash with everyone who reads the blog. The game will end sometime late this week, so post early and please, only one answer per person.

The WORD this week is: scrog

Balderdash rules (for those who’ve never played): “The main objective is to make up answers that will bluff other players, as well as for choosing the real and often unbelievable answer.

WORDS- What is the definition?
PEOPLE – What is the person known for?
INITIALS- What do they stand for?
MOVIES- What is this movie about?
DATES- What happend on this day?”

Video game party


To whom it may concern: my latest bright idea is to have a pyramid sceme like party that involves me having alot of people over to play video games and whilst this is going on a local representative of the video game industry will try to force all who attend to purchase one or more of his overpriced games untill he meets a preset quota where he will begin to earn some money for his meager exsitence. I feel this sort of atmosphere is conducive to an excellent party if all my friends show up and buy something then I will earn a free game(probably sonic the hedgehog or mario).

Get for V-Day?


What a great V-day! I have to tell everyone I have a great wife. I only gave Joy a spanking clean kitchen, and a full body massage. She gave me, a BLT sandwich, a pedicure, and a full game of me vs. her in TANKS. Wow it was amazing! We had such a fun time playing this stupid game from the 70’s that Yancy had posted on his site. So in honor of V-day, I’m posting on here as well. I told Joy that since we had so much fun yesterday we’ll have to celebrate D-day too.
