WOO HOO!!!! Over 11k + have checked out my blog!!! сладкий that's 'SWEET' in Russian my fellow comrades. I would like to thank the 10 people that actually read this and keep on hitting the 'refresh' button on their internet browser. First off, I am sorry that there has been a delay in posting this BUT I was on WORLD TOUR! I know everyone has been worried because I didn't post this on the 1st........ All sarcasm a side, Before we get to the WORLD TOUR, I have pictorial evidence that I, Andy McBride, is the nephew of MISS FIRE PAGEANT 1962! Ladies and gentlemen put your hands together for MS. CECE (ROOT) CAWLEY


I would like to thank my fellow God parent, Cassie for a picture I have been looking for... ALSO I want to say that I AM NO LONGER A BOAT OWNER!!! They say that the two happiest days in a boaters life is when they buy a boat and when they sell it! I tend to agree! I told myself that I, ANDY McBRIDE, would become a priest if it didn't 'help' me get some and the last time I checked I ain't Father McBride! ANYWAYS! A guy drove 4 hours from GA. and bought it and took it home that night.


OK! Now on to the WORLD TOUR 2011! I'm soooooooooooo going to have a running dairy

Thursday 6-23 Mansfield, OH
The drive up was pretty uneventful, I drove 60MPH and so everyone including a few Amish People passed me.


OH WELL!!!! I bet they didn't get 40+ MPG like I did!!! 'ANDY' 1 'People that go faster than 60MPH' 0!!!! WOO HOO!!!! When I got into town I hung out with my Grandma McBride and she is still as spunky as ever! She can hardly see anything but BY GOD she'll do it and DAMN YOU for asking if she needs help. I learn something new every time I see her. KRIPES she told me that grandpa was in a car wreck when he was 17 and was in a FREAKIN' coma for 3 weeks! GREAT GOOGLY MOOGLY! She also had me go through some photo albums and take whatever pictures I wanted. I found this one and gotta HUGE CHUCKLE when I saw it..... Here's proof that I'm not the only smart @$$ in the family, This is my dad, Uncle Bob and Uncle Dick back in he 70's!!!


OH AND don't THINK if my uncle Dick AND Bob still had those shirts that I wouldn't ask them for em' so I could wear em' for 'casual Friday'. I also got this picture of my Uncle Bob when he was in the Marine Corp in the 50's. I SWEAR it's a spitting image of my friend Thompson. You sure we aren't related? 













Friday 6-24 Mansfield, OH
Grandma took me to an old Howard Johnson's for breakfast AND gave me $50!!!! DRINKS ARE ON ME BABY!!! WOO HOO!!! At Kroger now because they have WIFI!!! Being connected to the WWW FREAKIN' RULES!!!!!!! Got a pizza and a sixer of beer and went and saw my Nana, She is 93 and GOD LOVE HER!!!! We chatted for awhile and I fed a baby that I found.

then I went to my cousin Chris' house! HE RULES!!! I hung out with him and drank beer while talking about cars and how cool our grandpa was and how our step grandfather Russ was WAY BEFORE HIS TIME when it came to being 'green'. He built a piping system made of black PVC pipe on his roof to help heat his pool. He didn't do it to save the earth, he did it because he thought he could save $! 


Saturday 6-25 Allegany, NY
Got up at 5:30AM and hit the road for A-TOWN (Allegany)..... Again! The drive was pretty uneventful BUT I did stop at the Chautauqua Lake rest stop and took this picture as proof that it ACTUALLY is real!


So when I say 'HOLY SH UH T AH K W UH LAKE' (with a 1 millisecond pause between SH UH and I say the rest of the word) and you got a problem with me saying it then write a letter to the Seneca Nation Tribe and complain to them about how one of the names they have in their language can be used as a cuss word. HOLY $@#T, also go and gamble at their casino! “WHITE MAN has screwed us over for 400+ years BUT WE HAVE the final laugh! It's called gambling!!! THE WHITE MAN LOVES TO GAMBLE and we LOVE taking your $!” I also stopped their because it has FREE WIFI!!!! Public housing= free WiFi! SAME THING RIGHT!?!?!? ANYWAYS, If you wanna see Amercana at it's finest then go to a small town parade,

 after I went to the carnival for BEER-PA-LOOZA II, it was sort of a let down, DON'T GET ME WRONG, I LOVE seeing people I have not seen in years but it rained off and on and more people stayed home because of that plus some other things........



Sunday 6-26 Bolivar, NY
Hung out with my cousin Jeff who might be the FUNNIEST man EVER, and his wife today.


He took me to Texas Hots which is ALWAYS yummy and I got to hang out with one of his sons Connor! In this picture we had our mind on our $ and our $ on our mind...


then we went to SUNNY HILL which is a camper park up on a hill and drank a few more beers and sat around with my uncles/aunts and cousins, one that is dating a guy with a SWEET Kawasaki motorcycle! Oh and Princess Lea AKA Anne, my cousin snapped this picture of my God Daughter and I and after she had a 'MISSION ACCOMPLISHED' cigarette..... LIGHT EM' IF YA GOT EM'!!!


I know people think that it's 'odd' that I do this BUT I like cleaning up friends of mine that have passed grave sites. It's the least I can do for people that are gone but not forgotten for making me the person I am today...


Also went to see some old friends and a OBI (Olean Business Institute) graduate, My mom and Lynda Kockler went there back in the sixties (to basically be a secretary) and Steve worked with my dad.


They took me to 'DA BEEF' The Beef and Barrel for lunch then Steve showed me around the Olean Airport, YES THERE IS ONE, KRIPES! I even have the shirt to prove it!

 It's a pretty small one but it was very cool that he showed me all the stuff out there.
Then I took Kara and another friend of ours who's UMMMMMMMM 'well endowed' to dinner at Angees,


Tuesday 6-28 Buffalo, NY
Went up to Buffalo today to see my cousin Christine and my great uncle and aunt Bernie and Carol. On the way up, I stopped at Ralph Wilson Stadium and bought a shirt then proceeded to walk around the stadium and take some pictures. KRIPES! What's the worst they can do? SAY “GET OUT.” Remember kids, It's ALWAYS easier to ask for forgiveness then for permission...


When I was done there I grabbed some lunch right next to the stadium and then went downtown to HSBC Arena where the Sabres play and loaded up on more t-shirts. Everything was half off! I don't know why but I'll take it!!!! It was like shopping at Big Lots! BRAND NAMES at CLOSE OUT prices ya know!!!!!! Then I went and hung out with my great uncle Bernie! He's pretty funny and told me some GREAT stories about my grandfather........ Christine then took me to the Ale House where we ate and her HOT friend let me check out her money maker while pretending to eat and UMMMMMM 'borrowed' a glass out of the establishment!!!!!! WOO HOO!!! Now I can enjoy a cold one in my Bills pint glass while they are getting CRUSHED and remember when Darryl Talley wore a Spider Man under shirt while the Bills were doing the CRUSHING of wimpy teams!!


Wednesday 6-29 Allegany, NY
Drove back to Allegany and snapped this picture of the chimney at the house I lived in when we lived in A-TOWN, Allegany.


No I ain't a freak, You see, I think it was circa 1980, Big Ron decided to 'extend' the chimney. As you can clearly see, it was NOT the best masonry job EVER! The bricks don't match, some would say, not even close. FUNNY! I wanted this picture so the next time he 'questions' my abilities, I will simply show him this picture and remind him where my 'abilities' come from. I sometimes can't remember what I had for lunch a few days ago BUT I sure as hell remember this SUPERB masonry job from 30+ years ago. Went to my friend Kara's house where her daughter Brynn DEMANDED that we watch some Justin Bieber videos...... Let me tell ya, IT WAS A JOY (rolling my eyes).


We then went to lunch at, DARE I SAY, the BEST EFFING PIZZA PLACE EVER!!!!! Things are 'different' between us BUT I really like helping her with the knowledge I have and helping her and Brynn with what I hear from this guy's pod casts. She doesn’t treat me like LITTLE ANDY that needs help wiping my nose. She had some money 'issues' and we spent the whole afternoon writing down all of her expenses and coming up with a budget for her and I thought of some other stuff that might help her and Brynn.... First and foremost! EVERY ONE needs to get this book! He explains stuff a lot better then I do! Anyways, I went back to Bolivar and hung out with my cousin Jeff and Kari and drank a few beers and he filled me in on some of the DRAMA that ALL families have!!!

Thursday 6-30 Bolivar/Allegany, NY, Emporium, PA (PENNS-A-TUCKY)
Woke up and had a beer because I'm on VACATION DAMMIT!!!

 Had lunch with an old friend who DEMANDED we go to Perkins because they serve SANKA! HA!!


KIDDING!!!! We drove in style there. That's a 'CHOPPED' 57 CHEVY BOYS AND GIRLS!


Drove down to Emporium, PENN-SA-TUCKY and I came with a gift to my cousin's wife Amanda. Just call me DR. CANCER!


She proofreads my blog. It use to be Steph but she has a 'CABANA BOY' and she is unreliable now. Got a little equation for ya: a carton of smokes $47/ 8 packs- $5.88 a pack X 365 days a year= $2144.38. Hope those cigarettes are worth it. She also gave me a gift! WOO HOO! HOOTERS RULE!!


We cooked in STYLE! Filet BEEEEEOOOOOOOTCHES!!!!!!! It was even more yummy thanks to Joe's BITCHIN' recipe for grilling ANIMAL!!!!!!
  • Red wine vinegar
  • Coarse black pepper
  • Garlic Salt
  • Season Salt
  • Splash red wine vinegar on both sides of the steak.
  • Use coarse black pepper on both sides of the steak.
  • Sprinkle garlic salt on one side, and season salt on the other side.
Do that about an hour before grilling, and leave the steak out so they come up to room temperature before throwing them on the grill. And let me tell ya, IT WAS YUMMY!!!! We then sat around a drank a few 'adult beverages' and discusses some of the family 'issues' that his order brother Jeff told me about...

Friday 7-1 Johnstown, PA
Next stop on the tour was seeing my old friend CARB and his family in Johnstown, PA, You might have heard of it. They had only the WORST flooding disaster in the USA and also one of the funniest movies was filmed there too.


Carb and his awesome wife and two (FUNNY AS HELL) little boys live in a SWEET house that has a FREAKIN MAID BELL so you can RING your woman and say!!! “WOMAN! I WANT MORE POTATOES!!!!” HA!!!!!


He's an attorney and his 'advice' on issues that arise are priceless. On a sobering note, he took me to the Flight 93 site....I still can't wrap my head around that flying a plane into a building and killing innocent people all in the name of your religion is justified.


Saturday 7-2 Marshall, VA
WELCOME TO THE BOIKE/MESE FARM!!!! HOME OF CRAPPY BEER!!!!!

I proceeded to fill them in on my roof 'experience' and my tour so far. All the time drinking some beer and watching some racin' (RUBBIN'S RACIN').

Sunday 7-3 Marshall, VA
We packed up some stuff and went to the Shenandoah river for a 3+ hour tour (Went down stream in inner tubes). It's kinda big business to be a rafting company on the river and so we shared some quality time with a family originally from India and currently residing in the fine state of New Jersey (ROLLING MY EYES AGAIN). We had a GREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAT time, 'marinating' while pondering life, who is on the 'celebrating list' and drinking a few..... It's the simple things folks!!! Had some Mexican which was YUMMY IN MY TUMMY! ARIBA!! Then like clock work, came home, took a shower and then went to bed.

Monday 7-4 Marshall, VA
WOO HOO!!!!!! Celebrating our independence BEEEEEEEEOOOOOOOOTCHES! Hatcher, a guy that HATED me the first time he met me but has changed his opinion of me though the years,

came over to the BOIKE/MESE farm and we all hung out and relaxed in a pool and YES some beer was consumed.

It wasn't like PAST July 4th that consisted of floating in tubes all day while drinking, beating the crap out of a jet ski that one of my former boss's had me keep so his ex wife wouldn't try to get it in the divorce, having people pass out in a hammock, heading out in the middle of the night and finding a cove to drink while listening to the hair nation on Sirius, watching a punk with a white man Afro and wearing a wet suit talk smack about how good of a knee boarder they are and watch them do a face plant while trying to do a 'dock start', taking a bowie in the dead of night then taking pictures with it as if we caught a huge fish, but it was groovy.

Tuesday 7-5 Marshall, VA
Spent my last day in VA, picking rocks, riding the 4 wheeler around and doing some BUSH HOGGING, It's a huge lawn mower on tractor....CHECK THAT, I didn’t even make it on the tractor. The day just pretty much consisted of laying around, drinking a few beers, watching some TV and taking a nap. It was pretty much a NONproductive day and I'm alright with that..

Oh I did dip my feet in the pool! That took a lot of work to do.



Wednesday 7-6 HOME L-TOWN (Lancaster, SC)
The 'WORLD TOUR 2011' is over and I logged over 1700 miles. I am already looking forward to 2012! I have a few days before I have to be back at work so I'll work on my truck so it will start and go to the dump and unload the rest of the old roof, tile the bathroom floor, work on a few things out in the yard and just basically get back into the 'swing of things'. OH and SHAVE after not having busted out a razor since June 25th. 

Now this is my opinion and as we all know 'opinions are like @$$ holes, EVERYBODY has one', I think you can take your exotic vacations to Europe or the Bahamas and shove them where the sun don't shine. I like going and seeing people that have shaped me into the person I am today and doing stuff for others like clean up their grave. It means more to them that you are coming to see them. People remember that stuff more than if you brag about how you went to Paris. Hey speaking of the French. I was on eBay the other night and someone had an auction for a French rifle, the description said 'twice dropped and NEVER fired' WOO HOO!!! That will rile up some of the PEPE LE PEW's that read this!


OH and in case you were wondering, I think I drank enough beer the last two weeks to fill this TANKER. I think I need to take a break for a few weeks BUT I have a dilemma. You see, when I go on my 'tour' people I go and see get PBR because they know I like it and when I'm about to leave they say "NOT SO FAST SON, You are taking the rest of the PBR because I'm sure as HECK not gonna drink it." So I have a refrigerator full of it.  


Making the 5th anniversary of living in 'L' town at casa de McBride, I will mention MONUMENTAL moments from the past 5 FREAKING years until 9-2011:  This months marks the first time I had to get up on my HOT @$$ roof and fix a leak! I sweated soooo bad! It was like if OJ had to take the witness stand in 1994! Remember y'all, "Keep your feet on the ground and keep reaching for the stars."
***** BEFORE YOU CLICK ON THIS, HERE IS A DISCLAIMER! KASEY DROPS A FEW 'F BOMBS' and a 'GD' IN THIS LITTLE RANT! SO CLICK IT AT YOUR OWN RISK!*****


Wednesday, June 01, 2011

AS OF 2011, there is NO MORE gold looking fixtures at casa de McBride!!! WOO HOO!! The last piece  was promptly taken down and given to GoodWill and replaced by this!


To celebrate this HUGE EVENT 'Catholic Kate' insisted that we use the dishes that were given to her sister and FORMER Ms. Firemen Pageant Queen 1966 (I know the picture is out there and I will get it, OH YES I will FIND IT!) Cece when she married the lead singer of Three Dog Night while the band was on 'hiatus'.


Let's see? Oh yeah, We had another bad storm that even knocked over trees and stuff.


I am happy to report that CASA DE MCBRIDE suffered NO damage! WOO HOO!!! KRIPES! I just dropped $1500 for deductibles on my car and house for CHRIST SAKES from the last one... Ain't made of money ya know! Oh and I installed an attic fan. Pretty exciting stuff huh??? Let me give ya an equation: cooler attic+ less money I give to Duke Energy+ Happy Andy= A 'thumbs up' from the GREEN POLICE!


I SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO used screws from my old boat to screw on the vent..... RECYCLING BEEEEEEOOTCHES!!!!!



I also got a pair of Birkenstock's and the new Phish box set 'LIVE AT RED ROCKS'!  YEAH RIGHT!!! But I did get and install another rain barrel!!! My plants and I THANK my friend Dan Brill and Al Gore for encouraging me to conserve more of MOTHER EARTH'S RESOURCES!!!! Not much else is going on at casa de McBride! OH! I did go to the Boike/Mese farm for a few days and partake in GOLD CUP. Not gonna lie to ya, It was kinda weird AND a sophomoric comment from me, There are some women that should NEVER attempt to wear a sun dress!!!! GOOD GOD MAN!!! I think my retinas were burned a few times!!! Also I'll be heading out for the 'McBRIDE WORLD TOUR with special guest REO Speedwagon' in a few weeks and I will be seeing more friends and family that I haven't seen in a while! Remember! You'll pay for the whole seat but only need the edge!!! Marking the 5th anniversary of living in 'L' town at casa de McBride, I will mention MONUMENTAL moments from the past 5 FREAKING years until 9-2011: This month marks the first time I started saying " G$& D@%# it's hotter than the hubs of hell when you don't turn on you central A/C." Remember to please NOT mistaken my easy going attitude with someone that is lazy and has NO IDEA what they are doing and HERE'S to your future 'ENDEAVORS' includes the phrase "DO YOU WANT FRIES WITH THAT?"...

Craig's List!
It's NOT just for finding 'escort services' ANY MORE OR LOOKING FOR LUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUV!



Someone WHO wants to remain anonymous BUT I talk to this person ALL THE TIME, SWEARS by Craig's List as a great way to get rid of junk and meet some very interesting people in the process. This is just a few of the emails that this person sent me describing some of the people he has met:
"Andy, I get it all, the one legged guy, the guy on disability who wants a job 'under the table' so he can continue to take the money and run, the Pakistani family(Omar the 10 year old was a WORKER tossing that wood in!) and the guy stuffing his Explorer with 1/2 cord of wood.  Yes, that is just from last week!
You know it is funny, and I like that it amuses you, but I can not laugh publicly at some of these people? Come on. Here is another gem from Saturday. Guy that is picking up the wood in the explorer tells me that he has two girls every other weekend, BUT he just got engaged to a girl in Chaney WY. Oh, that's cool, you just picked out the ring? Where did you meet her...........5 months ago on the web. See this one will surely last they have met 4 times in person now!" .

"ok, you got it.  I hate when I stick around for a 2:30 appointment and at 3:30 he shows up.  So all he needs to do is to load it up pay me, and take off so I can get back on the loader.  He wants to chat and tell me stories about buying the truck he came out in, some horse he got for free,  and the horse trailer he purchased.  His wife told him to go check out a horse trailer that was for sale.  It was marked for $4888.  he offered $4500, and the guy said nope, 4888.  He then said $4700, but again nope, $4888.  he offers $4800, but still no movement from the guy.  They finally settle on $4888 since the guy is not budging at all.  He arranged to pick it up the next day, and asked the guy if he needed a deposit and the seller says nope your wife already gave me $1000 to hold it for you.  Now it was a funny story, but to add a bit of funniness when he tells it he takes his hat off and throws it at the ground.  Just plain odd." 

"A guy from about an hour needs a cord of hickory, and asks if I can deliver it for him. Nope its pick up only, but he needs it today. I tell him he needs 4 wheel drive to access the pile, and he agrees to come out. after his GPS got him lost a few times, and about 2 hours later he arrives. now when he called, he sounded all kinds of whacked asking me where he was from landmarks like 'a pond' or 'steep hills' and such. When he arrived he hops out at the pile, since his girlfriend was driving, and proceeds to pour a gin and juice or some type beverage into his coffee cup. after that he needs a cig and a break to relieve Little Elvis(his words not mine). We get the load all set and the driver of the all to overloaded Honda Ridgeline needs one more for the road, so dude gets out the bottle and pours about half and half of the gin and OJ. I tell you its a freckin train wreck with these guys sometimes, BUT like a pimp on Friday night I got paid baby!"



HA! One of my all time favorite stories is about a guy coming to get a truck load of rock and his poor truck didn't like all the weight had a very hard time getting back on the main road and needed some help from a tractor pulling him! I know I don't do the story 'justice' but I think you get the idea. GREAT STUFF, and So ya have a reference, A 1/2 cord of wood looks like this.

AND this is an EXPLORER


WHERE IN GOD'S NAME DID THE GUY PUT ALL THE WOOD!?!?!?!?!

After hearing all the GREAT success that 'PERSON A' has had, I SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO WENT FOR IT!!!!! CRAIG'S LIST here I come! First up was my old ride on lawn mower.

 It was the FASTEST sale EVER!! I posted it at 6pm and within 6:05 it was sold and was picked up and gone by 7PM!! WOO HOO!!!! I can sooooooooooooooo get use to this!!!! Sorry BUT the guy that bought it was pretty normal. He wasn't drunk or telling me about having a girlfriend in Chaney, WY.  Next was my oven and microwave And for a WHOPPING $25 it was sold in NO TIME!!!!!!


Again, No WILD AND WACKY story to tell ya, The guy was pretty normal. I went bigger for my next item, That's right kids, the BOAT is officially on the selling block. It hasn't sold yet but I have gotten quite a few 'bites'..



In other news to hit the Lancaster metro area, we had a nasty hail storm which dented up my new Civic really bad, OH WELL! That's why there is insurance. 99% of the time, I keep it in the garage BUT I needed room because I was working on a flux capacitor. My car is all dinged up BUT BY GOD, I can go back in time now!!! WIN/WIN BABY!!! Also my roof was banged up pretty good and has to be replaced... $500 deductible for a new hood, roof and trunk all painted and a $1000 for a NEW roof for the house with a 14 year old one. I'll take it.

ALSO I am PROUD to announce Operation 'I really want grass to grow in my back yard'. This consists of me coming home each night and throwing on some old clothes, knee pads and putting my iPod on 'shuffle' or listening to a book and getting on all 4s and picking rocks up and putting them into a bucket. You see, I'm not sure BUT I think the previous owners had a truck load of freakin' gravel dumped back there because it's ALL over the place.


All the rocks go into a nice little area right in front of the shed I keep Bjorn. AND beware because I have two pink flamingos guarding it 24 hours a day and they are pretty mean! They can bite your finger off!!!!!

I mentioned that I listen to a book while I am out picking rocks and I have been listening to the one from Sammy Hagar, ALL I CAN SAY IS, Eddie Van Halen is one EFFed up guy! But I guess that's what happens to ya after 30 years of doing drugs! WOW! Where was I? Oh yeah, I stated earlier that I need a new roof due to the hail storm, well I was picking rocks and I heard a voice and it kinda freaked me out because I was looking around and didn't see anyone and jumped up and was ready to 'cold cock' someone and it was a young guy on my roof. It was the insurance adjuster checking out my roof. Poor kid, he kept on apologizing to me for scaring the BEJESUS out of me..... 

Oh and looky what I got for $10 bucks at Tractor Supply! Don't HATE because I make this look GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD!



The only difference between these two pictures is a yellow turtle neck and I checked and I don't have one! SON OF A!!!!

Marking the 5th anniversary of living in 'L' town at casa de McBride, I will mention MONUMENTAL moments from the past 5 FREAKING years until 9-2011: This month, SORRY LAST MONTH, marks the first time I celebrated my birthday (April 27th) in my OWN house!!! Talk to ya later and remember, I ain't one of your FRAT boy's that will laugh at anything that comes out of your pretty little mouth! (throwing my hat on the ground) OH WAIT!?! You didn't go to college, NEVER MIND!!!!

COME ONE, COME ALL!!

To the first annual 'ASK ANDY ANYTHING'! WOO HOO!!!! My fellow BLOGGER Kelly gave me the idea to do it. So I asked him for permission and he said, "HECK, I stole the idea from someone else so it's cool with me." I also stole part of the idea from The Bob and Brain morning show, One of the FUNNIEST shows I have ever heard. They have a segment called 'one question line' where a listener is allowed to ask one question and they answer it. This is the way it will work (as of now), I will answer your questions as they come in cool??? I promise to answer ALL questions, now granted, I might be laughing while I type an answer to ya but I WILL respond!!! So set your phaser guns to 'fun' and fire away with your questions.....If the past is any indication, I'll be lucky to get 3 people to actual read this and submit a question....... WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

OH I SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO GOTTA PUT THIS IN!!!! I sold my old car to my cousin and so you know, I'm not the only one in my family that has an ODD sense of humor!!!


HA!!! I sooooooooooooo cannot wait to try to deposit this! I might be arrested so if ya get a call from me FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, please answer and post my bail!!!

Marking the 5th anniversary of living in 'L' town at casa de McBride, I will mention MONUMENTAL moments from the past 5 FREAKING years until 9-2011: This marks the first time I celebrated my birthday at Casa de McBride with some guns, midget hookers and firetrucks! MAN!!!!! WHAT A GREAT TIME!!! Talk to ya later and remember, those 'pictures' you took for your EX are now on the World Wide World and this guy can see them. FOOD FOR THOUGHT!!

First up is Allan, who claims to be a 5th round draft pick of the Lions in 2003, At least that's what he told girls to 'get some'. ANYWAYS He asks "Andy my question is why are you so awesome and the rest of us are like the Buffalo Bills?" Nice backhanded compliment I am pretty awesome aren't I???? As for the Bills comment, being a Bills fan is like being in a marriage, you have your good times and not so great ones. Plus you know deep down inside that as soon as our 92 year old owner goes to the big football field up in the sky, it's GAME OVER for Buffalo having a team! YEAH I SAID IT!!!! They will be bought and relocated in a glamorous other city. The western New York region just CAN'T financially support an NFL team! SAD BUT TRUE!

Up next is 'anonymous' who I am pretty sure is this guy. HE/SHE asks "how many 'notches' do you have on your bed post Mr Swingin Single?" Well let's step back and analyze the situation. I live by myself in a pretty sweet house, I have ALL my teeth, I DO NOT have an EX still pissed I got the couch from the family room in the divorce, a job, I'm financially responsible, I have a nice vehicle that gets me to point 'A' to point 'B' and back to point 'A', no baby's daddy.... I would say that when you add all that up, that your question is answered and being the MATURE gentleman that I am, I will NOT divulge any more info.

One of my friends from near the GREAT WHITE NORTH 'TAKE OFF EH!' asks : "For April fool’s day, which is better, gluing a quarter to the floor or putting a rubber band on the sink sprayer???" BOTH have YouTube written all over them!!!! But if I had to choose one then the rubber band on the sink sprayer would be the winner. The look of SHOCK you would get from the unsuspecting victim would be PRICELESS and they would be soaked too!! WIN/WIN!!!!

And batting clean up is Kelly who asked "What do you think of Allegany now, twenty years after our age group graduated and started leaving for the most part? How do you like your eggs? How do you like your steak? How do you like your women? You get home after a rough day...not a horrible day, but one where you put in more effort than you normally do. The beverage you reach for is...what?" It's a bag of MIXED EMOTIONS. On one side I am VERY GLAD Big Ron moved us down here in Aug of 1988. There was and is, better opportunities down here. Job wise that is. The weather is pretty sweet. You still get the change of seasons but it's NOT as extreme as it is up in Allegany. It's not gloomy with a chance of snow from Oct. to April. It gets HOTTER THAN THE HUBS OF HELL during the summer BUT that's why there is central AC! On the other hand, I MISS that 'small town' atmosphere. I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER WHERE I CAME FROM! ALLEGANY EFFing NEW YORK! It's who I am and makes me the PERSON I am today. As for my eggs, I prefer them scrambled. I love COW and I prefer it well done. Women Ehh!?!?!? Well I prefer a woman that has a GOOD HEAD on her shoulders. Sure looks are cool and all BUT I enjoy a girl that ACTUALLY listens to me and does not consider me LITTLE ANDY that doesn't know how to EFFing balance a check book. A woman that KNOWS I have my moods where I need to just be alone and TRY to think of a solution to a problem. KRIPES! I could write FOREVER about this subject but I will spare you and the 4 other people reading this. I HARDLY EVER drink on 'school nights', during the week, but when someone or something really RILES me up then I just drink a beer, PBR usually and call it a night because you realize the next day that it's really not that bad. 

Scott asked "Who are you most looking forward to seeing at beer-pa-looza 2011?" And I can say with a FIRM ANSWER that I am excited to see EVERYONE that is there. Growing up in Allegany REALLY made me the person I am today. Sure I moved when I was in 8th grade BUT trust me, having an older brother and his friends HELP ME 'grow up' will ALWAYS be one of the BEST experiences ever. With that said, I REALLY want to see your wife and baby being that YOU made me feel like dog poopy last year because I didn't come in time to meet them. 

WALKER!

 The other night, I spent drinking my N/A beer with an old friend. Scott Fasse! We spent most of the night rehashing stories of times and fr...
