Three Sizes

Fun with sizes... (and after reviewing the post, fun with parenthesis as well)

So after getting the first of the three brews (the larger one) I asked the waitress for a smaller beer (Miller Light in case anyone is wondering... but if you really know me then you weren't wondering... you already knew). She proceeded to bring the itty bitty one (actually a shot-glass of beer) as a joke, i hope... cause it was funny. We all had a good laugh (me, the empty "cannon of beer" and the shot-glass full of beer, yes, we all laughed heartily)... and she brought me the regular pint glass of ML. I then felt the need to take a picture and post it here...

Moral: Little beers need lovin' too...

Houston Live Stock Show and Rodeo: A People Watching Festival...

Alright, since my good pal Matt H. has been "blogging his arse off" lately... I feel the need to keep up with him. Apparently, he doesn't work or have a social life... Ok, now on with the blog...

So last weekend (or was it two weekends ago?) was the last weekend of the Houston Live Stock Show & Rodeo. For those that don't know, each night there is a concert after the actual rodeo. This night it was Brooks & Dunn... not my favorite but only because I haven't heard much of their stuff since circa ninteen-diggity... but the fact that i know every lyric to every song they put out before said date means that I am still a Brooks & Dunn fan...

But the real beauty of this post, is the people watching extravaganza that is the HLSS&R!!! The iPhone is PERFECT for capturing people while acting like you are checking your email, browsing the internets, etc. So thank you iPhone for showing the diversity in America all in one place. Below are some photos and some comments: Enjoy... or Not...


(left) Mullet! 'Nuff said...

(middle) At no time during this experience did I think about my Jr year of HS's Homecoming Dance.... EXCEPT for the moment I took this picture. But remember, boys and girls, we are at the HLSS&R, NOT a Homecoming dance. Only thing missing is a giant Homecoming Mum... only you people who went to HS in TX, or know someone who did, will understand that one

(right) just felt like taking this kids picture...


(left) I dunno... struck me as funny....

(middle)This woman had approx. 42 children, the reason you can only see 2, is that the other +-40 were running around screaming... I guess she only had the patients to teach these two manners. Nice figure for so many kiddos, don't ya think?

(right)This one I took just becuase this guy decided to stare right into my phone as I was "checking my email", and it caught my attention... looks like it is "American Cowboy's" (see below) bland cousin...


(left) lady trying to untangle her gaggle of "glow-in-the-dark" necklaces... funny eh? no? okay.

(middle) the sites of the "carnival-like" rodeo...

(right) This one is absolutely my favorite! Mr. American Cowboy himself...When I took this, it was early in the "photo session" and I hadn't gotten the courage up to get closer... either way, this is FANTASTIC!


And last, but certainly not least, my beautiful wife (right) and my pals beautiful wife (left)... aren't we lucky...

Ciao!
