HAPPY NEW YEAR

I must say I am very disappointed in the projected turn out for the Bear Creek Manor's SECOND ANNUAL SUPER DUPER FUN NEW YEARS EVE PARTY WITH LAST YEARS CHAMPANGE. Was the name to long? I feel like if I was actually going to be here, I would look around and there wouldn't be any people. SAD.

I got a digital video camera for Christmas. Hopefully in the near future I will figure out exactly how to download the movies to my computer. I have a feeling things like THIS will begin happening very soon around the ole BCM or not.

Happy New Year Everybody.

A B-Rad FIRST

I would like to give a big thanks to Jackie for sending me my FIRST EVER Hanukkah Card

You may be asking yourself(which I highly doubt) why has B-rad never received a Hanukkah Card before. Well I can tell you that this is due to the fact that I'm not Jewish.
Okay, there is a story behind this little oversight by Jackie.

Several years ago I gave Jackie a Christmas Card. Soon after remembering that she is Jewish. Some people would be embarrassed about a little slip up like that. Well I embrace those kind of mistakes(because I make a lot of them) and have given her a Christmas Card every year since. So I'd say its about time you sent me a Hanukkah Card. Thanks again JMF, I thought it was great.

Jackie this CLIP is dedicated to you!

The lights went out and Freddie Cruger knocked at my window.

It looks as though SANTA stayed a little to long at the ole Bear Creek Manor, but who could blame him.

We were at Home Depot in Parker yesterday evening when practically the whole town went dark, no power. Home Depot doesn't really strike me as the safest place to be in the dark. So we left and headed north, with the rest of Parker, to find somewhere with power so we could eat(can't cook with no power). Luckily by the time we ate and had a few drinks the power was back on and we had heat, -10 is cold.

Then around 1:30 am I was awakened to the sound of scratching/scraping on the window. This can freak you out a little when you've been sleeping. I got up, peeked out the blinds and all I could see was the sillouet of these two giant pointed ears. You really can't make this shit up. After saying WHAT THE F*#K atleast three possibly four times, I slowly open the blinds wider to reveal a deer standing, staring directly into the window. It turns out that the deer was chewing on some rose bushes planted right outside my window and everytime it would let go, the bush would smack up against the window thus making the scraping sound. So no nightmare on elm street, just getting back to nature in good old P-town.
Merry Christmas Y'ALL

'TIS THE SEASON

HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYBODY

The "HOLIDAYS" are here, ready or not. I wasn't really ready until I remembered the part about not working and the presents.

DON'T FORGET, we are having our annual:
NEW YEARS 'ROCK'IN the BEAR CREEK MANOR' EVE PARTY! Sorry no Dick Clark, but TIMMAY will be there, he looks like Dick and never seems to get any older.

WHO KNEW?

I went to KFC for dinner tonight and tried to order at the first menu, until I realized that the speaker box where you actually order was still about fifteen feet ahead. Then after ordering in the correct place, I proceeded to drive past the pick-up window. Sometime after the unfortunate KFC incident, I decided to check-out my AMEX gift card for the mall I got yesterday at work. Its actually a prepaid credit card so you have to sign it and such. So, I signed it and then proceeded to lose it almost instantaneously. After searching everywhere, Erin found it in the washing machine. Hey, I laundered money. Somedays I feel like I stumble all over myself, making me embarrassed for...MYSELF

and THAT's because I'm an...........IDIOT are YOU?.

Have you seen my Recycle Bin?

It was windy as BLEEP here today and my bright ass yellow recycle bin blew away, GONE. If you happen to be around the neighborhood or KANSAS and you see it, could you please bring it home. I need it back, I really miss it.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY B-RETT
I don't have access to Erin's vast photo collection so this is the best picture I could come up with. It just happens that this is what Erin usually looks like when we go out. She has her face up the ASS-END of a camera, hence the vast collection, still not helping me out.

In the Christmas spirit go here and TOSS SANTA .

How about them BRONCOS

This morning I awoke to a splitting head ache that had RIO written all over it and when I say "morning" I really mean afternoon. I am going to go ahead and blame B-rett and his birthday. It seem like everytime he has something going on I get involved in a night of general debauchery and I wake up hungover. I take full responsibility for drinking all those tasty tasty drinks but had it not been for THE CELEBRATION as B-rett likes to call it, I wouldn't have found myself swilling down some of those famous marg's at the RIO. Mmm.... RIO. I think they put something addicting in those margaritas, oh right Tequila.
No crazy RIO stories this time. Remember getting stuck in the construction zone JACKIE?

After bar hopping from Coopersmiths, Steak Out, Rio and Pitchers we returned to the BCM for some poker. I managed to win a $1.45, but DB Steve took my fourty-five cents because we didn't have exact change. Its not so much that I care about the forty five cents, but I think what gets me is that DB Steve got it. Who invited that guy?


The DENVER BRONCOS had another close game this week in Kansas City, barely losing in a 45 to 17 nail biter. "This was not a fun game," said Plummer,"....it was a bad day" followed closely by his now infamous middle finger. Remember when the BRONCOS used to play like they really wanted to win.......yeah me neither.

STEP WAY FROM THE COMPUTER

The is over, SO no more good shows on TV. Which means that I will probably be spending more time in front of the computer surfing the INTER-WEB, as E-rin calls it. Lately it seem that I almost have to be physically drug away from the computer. I'm thinking I need to get a new hobby or soon I will be just like ERIN. Any suggestions?

NOTH'IN NADA NIL

It has been a long day and I GOT NOTHING. I can tell you that I am going to DRINK some beer.(ME LIKEY)

CLICK HERE if you want to check out this "Clark Griswald" freaks LONGMONT home. He has like 12,000 lights up and apparently between 6pm-10pm MST you can actually turn the lights on and off from your computer. I haven't tried this so I am going to give you a preemptive sorry if it sucks. I told you I had nothing.
If that sucks go here and play BOW AND ARROWS

"THE BIRD"

So I'm not sure what it is about(the BIRD as I like to call it) but everytime I go in there I see someone I know. Its crazy, like the center of the "people I haven't seen in a while" universe.
I know JODI spends a lot time there, maybe she can explain it.

So do you remember the old school Atari Games and how bad the graphics were. Well get excited folks because these game are way worse than those:

AVALANCHE

Squares

CRAPPY Super Mario rip-off

SMELL MY FINGER

Monday's SUCK. First I had to wake up and go to work. Then a STUPID Krispy Kreme Doughnuts jug of butterscotch something or other spilled in shipment on some boxes of mugs we ordered. The smell is so strong and nauseating that we had to get rid of the boxes. While carrying said boxes, the smell somehow attached itself to me. NOW I can't get the bleeping smell off of my hands. I have washed/scrubbed my hands at least 10 times, any suggestions?
On the upside the mugs were so fucked-up(the printing company spells like me) that they were UNUSABLE, so Merry FRIGGEN Christmas Manor residents!!! MUGS all-around!!! (drink UP Johnny its been a banner year in the BEAR CREEK HOUSE).

(actual mugs may vary, one per resident)

Broncos WIN, really they did

I had my works holiday party at Coopersmith's Poolside Friday night. Free drinks, pool and food make getting drunk with your fellow "team members" much more tolerable.

Saturday night we played a little Texas Hold'em at the Manor. Erin, Tim and Janeen were KIND enough to give B-rett and I all their money. Good work everybody.

The BRONCOS pulled out a squeaker against 2 and 10 Miami. They are SO headed straight to the Superbowl.

Finally, the APPRENTICE: How did Sandy get fired? If I were a betting man, I'd say Kelly is going to be hired and Jennifer(SB) will be fired.

DID YOU KNOW?

Some knowledge for thought, just not much thought with the things I learned today:
1) You can return up to 120 items at a time to Wal-Mart before they get suspicious. Anymore than that and a manager has to step in.
2) U-haul is celebrating its 60th anniversary. (W. G. a F.)

3) No word in the English language rhymes with month, orange, silver and purple. These words come will come in handy if you draw a 9 while playing Kings Cup.

4) ...And finally this because I still think it's Le Funny no matter how many times I see it.

hmmm BEER

I would like to dispell any rumors that I am trying to be Doogie Howser MD with this site. What a stupid-ass show, with the typing and the healing.

I went christmas shopping today and couldn't believe all the people in the stores. I really just wanted them to get the crap out of the way. I think I am developing "Retail Rage" if that is a real sickness. I have the cure....BEER.

Mkay

Today Erin told me that "WE HAVE A SICKNESS" because we can quote every line from Office Space the movie. I told her that it showed we had an amazing capacity for retaining knowledge, hence making us very smart people.
Tomorrow I have to be at "MY OFFICE SPACE" a whole hour earlier than usual for a "Team Meeting" . What's next, their going to make me dress up?

What the "BEEP" is up with the Broncos?

This morning B-rett and I put up the christmas lights on the ole Manor. Due to the recent snow, its unwillingness to melt and my fear of heights it was quite the task(snowpacked/high/steep= scary shit). I thought we went a little over board but, Erin wanted more. What do you think?
Then we went to Old C's to watch the Broncos LOSE and for Lisa's babyshower.
That is all.

hey...HEY, thats MY line!

I was suprised today when someone(who will remain nameless) told me "mmmm.......I forgot my MONEY". What? I invented "I forgot my money"! That's CLASSIC B-rad right there. The one time that keeps coming to mind is the Wendy's drive-thru in Longmont with JODI. She was kind enough to buy me lunch and then continue to give me shit about it till this day.

Rule # 1: call back if they didn't answer

This post is in reference to Timmay's EMAIL about a little thing I may have done once or twice. For all those that have had the luxury of receiving one of my "famous" late night calls, I am sincerely SORRY. On a good note I have been 'DIAL' free for almost a year now.
Jackie, if this is the crap you live for, you really need to get a hobby. How about....(its hard to think of couch based hobbies) I will get back to you on that. I do have to apologize about the sub-par job I did photo-shopping that picture. I suffer from what I've coined Fletcher's Syndrome(LAZINESS).
