Happiest Halloween. If you haven't seen the Moosejaw and theJaw home pages they're worth checking out.

The Girl loved the psychic/medium thing last night. She didn't get a reading but two of her friends did. One friend spent twenty minutes talking to a peanut butter and jelly sandwich she ate in second grade and another friend talked to a bird that died after crashing into her bedroom window in college.

Due to at least two hundred requests, please click I'm Making Potion in the Bathtub for the lyrics to Sheriff's I Never Needed Anyone. Maybe two people, not two hundred.

Today's question comes from Chris. Chris is the only person who replies to the Daily Remark in a floursecent green font. He asked me to make sure everyone knows about it. What US state is home to the most volcanic activity. Please email your answer to me at Trapper@moosejaw.com.

Yesterday's answer was the European Union.

Please get some friends and strangers and enemies to sign up for the Daily Remark. Together, we can make the world a worse place.

Have an amazing Halloween.

Love the madness.

If you didn't read Tuesday’s remark this will make no sense…

The lunch that was brought in for me for my poker win yesterday was outstanding. I had an entire grocery bag which included two bags of pretzels, peppermint patties, a carton of animal crackers, two turkey sandwiches, a bag of carrots, two cokes and two Gatorades.

Here is a comment from the chef… Since Trapper is such a pickey eater, I wanted to make sure I covered all the bases. He gets a little cranky if he doesn't eat enough. So, I went ahead and put together a medley of everything from the list provided. It took me 2 hours to find the kind of turkey that isn't slimey. I got up at 4:15 a.m. to make the sandwiches, cool the drinks, freeze the peppermint patties, and make sure the carrots were not wet. To transport the meal to work, I buckled it in my front seat. When I beat Trapper in the next round of cards I am ordering lobster.

Today's question comes from Skip. Skip was the first person to have a whipple procedure with no anesthetic thus today's question. What organ does a whipple procedure deal with? Please email your answer to me at Trapper@moosejaw.com.

Yesterday's answer was the day before and the day after the Major League Baseball All-Star Game.

Have the greatest Thursday since the last Thursday in August.

Love the madness.

If you didn't read yesterday’s remark please do so before reading today's remark. Or don't but you'll be confused. Actually, you're probably better off being confused.

My lunch yesterday could not have started off better. It was really a breakfast, lunch, snack combination that began with some honey graham cereal thing and an apple. However, everything went way downhill when the main dish was served. The presentation was outstanding but it was some sort of rice, meat, goulash, stew-looking mixture that I had to send back to the kitchen. I felt bad about it and spent the rest of the day starving.

Here are some comments from the chef… I texted Trapper to see if he would like a lovely stew with rice, meat, and veggies. Simple enough, not a lot of spice, no butter, trimmed of all fat...to me, it was perfect. Trapper never texted me back, so I decided that is what he was getting. Adventurous, yes, but I was willing to risk it. I presented the meal with real silverware and in a container that resembled a trough. He looked at me with an open mouth, yelled, "I can't eat that" for all to hear, and stormed off. Enough said.

Today's question comes from Murf and it is not as tough as TJ's question yesterday. I mean that as a compliment to TJ and Murf. I choose to take just about everything as a compliment. Here we go. There are only two days in every year on which there are no professional sports games in the four major sports. Same two days every year. What are the two days? Please email your answer to me at Trapper@moosejaw.com.

Yesterday's answer was Lewis "Moses" Rose.

Tough Tigers loss last night. They'll win tonight.

Please have an incredible rest of Wednesday.

Love the madness.

I beat two of the girls at Moosejaw in Hold ‘Em yesterday. I get lunch today and tomorrow for winning. I pretty much bring a grocery cart full of food and eat all day. One of the girls emailed the other girl some possible options for me. Here is a copy of the email…

Snacks (plan on bringing 2 or 3 of the following in pretty big quantities (1/2-3/4 full sandwich baggy))


Pretzels
Animal Crackers (regular flavored, no frosting)
Honey Crisp Apples, cored and cut into wedges
Carrots (baby, pre-washed...sometimes celery, but only in conjunction with the carrots)


Dessert

Mini Peppermint Patties or Vanilla Trader Joe O's cookies (you'll find them in the frozen section of Trader Joe's on the shelf)

Drinks (2 of the following...can be two of the same)


Sprite (regular, no diet)
Coke
Gatorade (red or blue)


Main Dish


Leftover style meal - rice bowl - example, chicken (boneless skinless, cooked low fat) and rice...preferably brown rice or quinoa
Leftover style meal - stir fry - chicken, vegetables, and rice (basic difference being maybe a little soy sauce in the preparation)
Sandwich - Grilled bread with chicken breast or roasted turkey (nothing slimy or that comes packaged) Sandwich toppings should only include spicy mustard...nothing else


Today’s question comes from TJ and may be the most difficult question I’ve ever asked. Here we go…According to Texas Mythology, who was the Texan to climb over the wall of the Alamo and run away the night before the battle? Please email your answer to me at Trapper@moosejaw.com.

I met the garbage men for the first time yesterday. I feel sort of bad that I had never met them before. Do you know your garbage men? Please don't answer that. Here's a play about our first meeting.

Me: Hey. Can you take the entire garbage cans?
Garbage Man: Yeah. You moving?
Me: No. I'm going to get new garbage cans.
Garbage Man: Can you get the big cans with the big handles.
Me: Definitely.
Garbage Man: But, don't get them too big because the city has codes and we won't be able to take them.
Me: Got it. I'll make sure we have the best garbage cans in the world.
Garbage Man: Thanks man.
Me: I just made some strawberry shortcake. Do you want some?


Please note I made up that part about the strawberry shortcake and I am laughing so hard about it right now that I am in near tears. See you in the asylum.

A volleyball from what movie was sold at an auction for over $18,000? I am out of town so today is a very special Thursday auto-reply day.

Someone emailed me yesterday saying they were from Details magazine and wanted to do a story about Moosejaw and the Daily Remark. He said he would only do the story if he could interview The Girl. I didn't actually agree to that stipulation but I got super excited about the story and answered about six questions only to find out it was a trick. This is the second time it has happened. The first time someone pretended to be calling from Rolling Stone. I enjoy the prank and hope it keeps happening. No I don't. Yes I do. No I don't.

We just added a page to Moosejaw and theJaw that shows new Moosejaw stuff. I couldn't think of a better word than stuff. Please check it out when you're bored. Click here for the Moosejaw page. Click on the number 7,891 for theJaw page. The products are the same on both pages but the pics are different.

Commodus: Rise, rise.
[Maximus stands up, clenching an arrow head in his right hand]
Commodus: Your fame is well deserved, Spaniard. I don't think there's ever been a gladiator to match you. As for this young man, he insists you are Hector reborn. Or was it Hercules? Why doesn't the hero reveal himself and tell us all your real name? You do have a name.
Maximus: My name is Gladiator.
[turns away from Commodus]
Commodus: How dare you show your back to me! Slave, you will remove your helmet and tell me your name.
Maximus: [removes helmet and turns around to face Commodus] My name is Maximus Decimus Meridius, commander of the Armies of the North, General of the Felix Legions, loyal servant to the true emperor, Marcus Aurelius. Father to a murdered son, husband to a murdered wife. And I will have my vengeance, in this life or the next.

I went to the Tigers game yesterday. Awesome game. The peanut man referred to me as the short one. Magglio Ordonez was wearing Moosejaw tee shirt when he did all his interviews on TV after the game.

I am sick. Stuffy nose, scratchy throat, achy. I probably have pneumonia. I hope I get at least seven minutes of sympathy from The Girl. Not the girl. The Girl.

I got a definite second glance from a girl at Starbucks last night. It was so surprising that when I got home I checked the mirror to see if I looked especially good. I did look pretty good. I think it was the fact that I was wearing my glasses and a hat and you could barely see me.

Two guest Daily Remarks today. Here we go.

This one is from Cams…
I tried celery today and I wanted to let you know. I don't like it but I am going to keep eating it because (a) it's covered in peanut butter and (b) I am a nutrition major and I think I should like celery. Please include that in your daily remark tomorrow. Or don't. I just figure everyone should know that I hate celery. Love cams

This one is from an anonymous emailer…
What has happened to your mojo??

The Tigers are amazing. Can't wait for the game Friday night. It's supposed to snow. I will be dressed as if I'm climbing Everest. Please look for me on television. I may even wear a harness. No I won't. In fact, I'll probably get sick and won't be able to go.

A great Daily Remarker from Sacramento noticed that my name has been stolen and used for the new NHL '07 game on the PSP. Please click here to check it out. I have such an addictive personality that had I chosen to indulge in video games I would have been the person you knew in college who never ever left his room and played video games all day and night. I never played bongopoly either. Did I just say that?

I went to the Tiger game Saturday instead of the Michigan-Michigan State game because the Tiger game Friday night was so great that I had to go on Saturday. Both Tiger games were among the best sporting events I've ever been to. I am only telling everyone this because so many people emailed about it yesterday and because no one likes me and because I have so many problems and insecurities that I need to find every opportunity possible to announce something good about myself. I am seeing my analyst tonight. I did get a ticket for the Tiger game Friday night. See what I mean.

We have the best contest ever on the site this month. Really. Please check it out when you're bored. Or don't.

Here's a play from my house from yesterday.

The Girl: I don't think you should do movies quotes anymore. They're not funny.
Me: Like when.
The Girl: Today. Who cares about Kenny Rogers?
Me: Kenny Rogers is a pitcher for the Tigers not Kenny Rogers The Gambler Kenny Rogers.
The Girl: Oh. Well no one cares that you care about that and my sister said the same thing.
Me: Please tell your sister she is clueless. This is about me. It's a Mary Antoinette thing and I predict I go down the same way. Love you so much though, sorry for saying Mary Antoinette and please don't break up with me.

I think that, you know, with what happened with Kenny Rogers last night, I think it became instant, contagious.
-Jim Leyland

It's great that we were able to give our fans this, especially after what happened last week," said Kenny Rogers, who joined many of his teammates in running back onto the field with fully loaded champagne bottles to spray into the crowd. "We couldn't give them a division championship, but we got them a playoff win against the Yankees, and that's got to feel pretty sweet for everybody.
-Kenny Rogers

Amazing Tigers win yesterday.

I am concerned Michigan is going to overlook Michigan State this weekend. I was going to say very concerned but 'very' is as overused as the exclamation point so I am banning both from my text. Please alert your people. Michigan State is getting 16 points in Vegas. Last year the game went to overtime. I am not a bettor but if I was I'd take the points. Betting is illegal. So is stealing and not adding fabric softener when doing the wash.

Was Dracula really a Count? Please email your answer to me at Trapper@moosejaw.com.

Yesterday's answer was Communism. Marx joined the Communist League in 1847. The Communist Manifesto was published in 1848.

We have a big poker tournament going on at Moosejaw. I squeaked by to get to the second round yesterday by pulling out a king on the river to end up with a pair of kings to beat two queens. I haven't been luckier since Spring Break sophomore year in the Bahamas. I have no idea what that even means.

Please note the mean lawyer made me add the fact that it is not a poker tournament for money. No one likes to be edited. Actually, they said that Grimace didn't mind having his work edited in the early days.

Before you place your next order please be sure to check the promotions page because there is lots of free stuff you may be able to get that you might now know about. Please tell everyone. Or, don't do any of that.

Which came first, the notion of Communism or Marx and Engel's Communist Manifesto? Please email your answer to me at Trapper@moosejaw.com.

Someone recently asked me what has been the best part about doing the Daily Remark for three years straight years. Without hesitation my answer was learning about the SHIFT/F3 rule.

If it ever comes up I tell people I won Best Smile in my seventh grade mock elections. Really, I came in second.

Tough Tigers loss last night. Derek Jeter is pretty good. If he knew about Moosejaw he's probably be a great customer. I still don't think he'd be allowed to purchase the Royale. Please read the product description when you click through. Or don't.

If you're waiting in line at security at the airport and you are thinking of things to do after you put your blackberry in the grey box thing I recommend looking for pretty girls in line. You can also look for handsome boys.

One more important note for traveling... please prepare your hair for that machine that fires the air at you in the security line. For example, realizing my hair was going to get brushed back a bit I should have pushed my hair about a centimeter more forward than usual. Please try to use the metric system when doing the calculation before your next trip.

Soft soap and lima beans for everyone.

I went to the Florida-Alabama game in Gainesville on Saturday. The person next to me was touching me so much I couldn't stand it. It was ruining the game for me. So with about three minutes left in the third quarter I decided to take my shirt off. The thought was that no one would want to touch me half naked. Not only did the touching continue but unbeknownst to me, at the end of the third quarter, everyone in the stadium puts their arm around each other and sings some song. The stranger next to me had no problem at all grabbing my bare shoulders and singing with me. At that point I could do nothing but laugh.

I feel like a normal person today for some reason.

Unbeknownst.

According to US News and World Report, only one US state is home to two of the top ten hospitals in the US. What is the state? Please email your answer to me at Trapper@moosejaw.com.
