Moosejaw Daily Madness

Important…..I got a second glance yesterday. One hundred percent true. I wouldn’t believe me if I was you (or were you) but it just so happens to be true.

We are experimenting with a new way to shoot Moosejaw products. Can you please click I am sort of bored right now to check out five different Moosejaw products and let me know if you prefer the new or the old layout?

This is my favorite quote…. All generalizations are false, including this one. – Mark Twain

The Girl is now working on a lap top. We now have the ideal relationship I’ve always dreamt about…both of us sitting on the couch working in total silence. If either of us has anything to say to each other it is all done via email.

Monday was the best Moosejaw point swapping day yet. All the people who were nice enough to give Moosejaw points and all the people lucky enough to receive some points are listed below. They said to put the list toward the bottom of the remark in case no one cares or something like that. Phew.

Today’s question comes from Josh through Michele. I am not positive what that means but it must have something to do with Michele using just one L. Which state flag is the only flag that is not in the shape of a rectangle? Please email your answer to me at Trapper@moosejaw.com.

Yesterday’s answer was the High School Musical soundtrack.

Thanks to all of the following people for giving some love… Susan, Wes, Laura, Briane, Anna, Sherry, Beth, Sarah B, Libby, Alicia, Hokey, Fortikly, Jyt, Preto, Kopliderj and Fid. I made up those last few names.

The following folks received some Moosejaw points… Noah, Katie, Matthew, Melissa, Aaron, James, Melodie, Jeff and Carrie.

Can’t wait to do it again and I am not just saying it.

Have an outstanding Tuesday please.

I am back and ready to do some Moosejaw point trading. I have actually been looking forward to it all week. No really, it’s true. So, can you please email me if you need some Moosejaw points and also email me if you’re willing to give some up? If you need points please try to keep it under 500 Moosejaw points. Also, please remember that, while there is no such thing as karma, people who are happy and nice and giving probably have better lives than meanies.

One time my friends and I were at a party and we were throwing snap-in-pops everywhere and ruining the party. We got thrown out and one friend, Billy, got slugged. Later that night we went back to the house and called everyone meanies.

I am so sorry to say the previous story is entirely true. No sorries at Moosejaw. No yawning either. Okay.

What was the best-selling album of 2006? I am back so there is no auto-reply today. Please email your answer to me at Trapper@moosejaw.com.

I'm the Anti-Christ. You got me in a vendetta kind of mood. You tell the angels in heaven you never seen evil so singularly personified as you did in the face of the man who killed you. My name is Vincent Coccotti. I work as counsel for Mr. Blue Lou Boyle, the man your son stole from. I hear you were once a cop so I can assume you've heard of us before. Am I correct?

What US state has the longest coastline? Today is the last auto-reply day of the week. Big deal. In addition to the answer, today's auto-reply will include at least two quotes from people who have had some sort of beard at one time. However, we will not be quoting Abraham Lincoln. Please email me at Trapper@moosejaw.com for the auto-reply.

Yesterday's answer was The Mississippi River.

I got so tired in the middle of dinner last night that I am positive I got roofied.  It’s not the first time.
 
I forgot to mention that Jack M won the best photo caption contest thing we did on Tuesday.  Jack got 1,000 Moosejaw points because of it.  More importantly though, Jack has a new found confidence that you really only see in the likes of Hasselhoff and the Karate Kid.
 
Sometimes splinters hurt a lot and sometimes it’s not so bad…it really depends on the splinter.  Think about it.  Or don’t.  In fact, don’t.

According to my people, what is the third longest river in the world?   Today is the second to last auto-reply day of the week.  In addition to the auto-reply, today’s answer will include three quotes that have some relation to the answer at least as far as I can tell.  Please email me at Trapper@moosejaw.com for the auto-reply.

If everyone I knew was a clown then clowns wouldn’t be all that special anymore.

I ordered some sort of natural pill that is supposed to help me sleep. I am fairly certain it will be in the garbage within a week after it arrives.

I wonder what would happen if I try to get my wireless connection to work on the plane. I am not going to try it when I fly home but I sort of want to. I think there is something wrong with people who wouldn’t want to. If you are the type who wouldn’t want to then please assume I mean it as a compliment. If my plane crashes it was great emailing everyone and I hope you can’t stand whoever takes over for me.

According to my people, what was the last battle of the War of 1812? Today is the last Friday auto-reply of the week excluding Saturday and Sunday. In addition to the answer, today’s auto-reply will include quotes from three movies that had some old people in it. Please email me at Trapper@moosejaw.com for the auto-reply.

I am on vacation and sick. It gets no worse. That’s actually not true. I’m sure it can be way worse and now I’m glad I’m sick.

I don’t have any sweaters that aren’t ripped and I don’t have any socks that I like.

No one liked me that much when I was in college but I think if I went back now I’d be decked in gold chains and have girls draped all over me.

I am trying to watch Talladega Nights everyday on vacation…just the dinner scene.

I can’t think of anything else to say.

What was the top grossing film of 2006? I am still out of town so it is another auto-reply day. I think today is going to be the best auto-reply day ever. In addition to the answer, today’s auto-reply will include three quotes from people who I have seen in a pool. Please email me at Trapper@moosejaw.com for the auto-reply.

Most importantly, Happiest Birthday ever to Susan.

Less importantly, as you know I don't use exclamation points but if I did I would have for Susan.

Even less importantly, I saw a ladybug in my house. Her name was Sophie and she had spent time in a miniumum security prison for fraud. She told me it wasn't the same prison as Martha before I could even ask. Obviously, it's not easy to be a ladybug but can you imagine the nerve? I offered Sophie some pudding just to be nice.

I've been to Italy but I am not going to tell you anything about it.

Who used the alias William Antrim? I am still out of town so it is yet another auto-reply day. In addition to the answer, today's auto-reply will include two quotes from people named William and one quote from someone named Abraham. Please email me at Trapper@moosejaw.com for the auto-reply.

If anyone is bored and wants to come up with something please email it to me and we’ll post the pic and caption in the Moosejaw photo gallery right away.

In addition to the answer, today’s auto-reply will include three quotes from movies that did not have any dinosaurs. Please email me at Trapper@moosejaw.com for the auto-reply.

Please note, that even though it is an auto-reply and I won’t be replying to the emails I will still look at all the emails so I can pick a winner for the caption and the 1,000 points. Actually, I won’t look at the emails but someone way smarter than me at Moosejaw will do so.

Today’s remark is a survey question. We want to make theJaw brand rolling papers…think Travolta in Pulp Fiction or something like that. Do you think its okay for us to do it or is it totally inappropriate? Please let me know what you think.

Who was the first vice-president to serve under two different presidents? I am out of town so today is an auto-reply day.

Jeremy Grey: Have you ever shot one of these things before?
John Beckwith: The whole 17 years we've known each other I've been sneaking off to go on little hunting trips around the world. No, I don't even know what the f*ck a quail is!
Jeremy Grey: I look totally ridiculous. Like why do I have to be in camouflage? So the big bad quail doesn't see me?
John Beckwith: I know. Why can't we hunt something cool like a hawk or an eagle, something with some talons?
Jeremy Grey: That'd be awesome. We could get something like big game. Even like a gorilla or a rhinoceros or a f*cking human being! That'll get you jacked up.

I was on a plane last night. There was a girl sitting two seats away from me who looked to have a case of the pretties but she was wearing giant sunglasses so you really couldn’t tell. So, I wrote the following…

If you see a pretty girl on the plane wearing sunglasses the entire flight she is probably prettier than you think but you should actually hope she keeps the sunglasses on jic to keep the prettiness dream in tact. Please see the Tigers game theory from the January 8th Daily Remark for more information.

Then, later in the flight she took her sunglasses off and she looked like Michelle Pfeiffer. I need some time to think this through but my life may be changed forever. Yours might too. Okay, I’m over the whole life changing thing but it is certainly rare for any event to turn out better than the anticipation of the event. Please feel free to quote me on that even though, if you dig deep, I likely plagiarized it.

Who was the first woman inducted into the Rock n’ Roll Hall of Fame? Today is an auto-reply day. In addition to the answer, today’s auto-reply will include three quotes from people who I have never seen shower. Please email me at Trapper@moosejaw.com for this very exciting auto-reply.

I had my own remark planned for today but this Daily Remark is way better. Here we go…

I was the recipient of 90 points from another MJ'er via the Daily Remark, and I would consider this the greatest thing to happen to me in 2007. I wouldn't have been able to get this shirt otherwise. I'm so excited, my loins are burning a bit...and that's not common for me. Thanks for everything Trapper, and MJ, and person kind enough to spread the love. I love everybody.

I was at the Kroger the other day Krogering (you know, frozen burritos and Shiner Bock), and as I was walking out a family was walking inside. I happened to be wearing my MJ Sweatshirt, and the guy said, "hey, Moosejaw...cool sweatshirt." I flipped him a bird, then jumped in my truck and peeled out. You should have been there. That last part didn't happen, but in retrospect, it should have.

What NFL team was originally called the New York Titans? They said it was way more fun to guess instead of look it up. Actually, it might be more fun to be right than to actually have fun. Please email your answer to me at Trapper@moosejaw.com.

This is a guest Daily Remark from Richard in Birmingham, Michigan. Please enjoy it…

Ridiculous story. My girlfriend is out of town so I went to a movie by myself in Royal Oak. I was checking football playoff scores and e-mail from time to time during the movie on my phone. Half way through the movie an old man who was sitting 5 rows behind me came up to me and yelled "Put that F*cking Thing Away Before I shove it up you’re a*s, you motherf*cker". I couldn't believe it. I responded by saying "It must be terrible to be such an angry old man". He asked if I wanted to take it outside. I ignored him and then he got the usher.

The entire rest of the movie I sat there looking at him wanting to kick his ass. Thought you'd appreciate the story. I was packing heat in the theater and was ready to shoot the old man. That isn’t true but the rest of the story is.

Who succeeded Benjamin Franklin as the US minister to France? Today’s hint is that it was not my friend Cheese. Please email your answer to me at Trapper@moosejaw.com.

Yesterday Jen gave up some Moosejaw points to Adam and Janel gave some points to Jenny. I didn't do anything nice for anyone but I was on the phone with one of our suppliers while I was driving home and I I thought I hung up but I didn't and, apparently, all of customer service got to hear me sing You Better You Better You Bet by The Who. Their favorite part was when I hit the high notes on the chorus.

I cried like a baby when that poor girl who went first on American Idol last night got tossed. I am very emotional these days. I hope you like me less because of it. Kelly Clarkson was wearing a Moosejaw hoody in some VH1 show they did about her. Really, it's true.

Someone sent this question in as a guest Daily Remark but I lost the person. I feel horrible about it and no one likes me. Here we go. Who is the only person to win the Indy 500, the Daytona 500, and Formula 1 world driving championship? Please email your answer to me at Trapper@moosejaw.com.

Last night Reese was the most smoking red hot from do it city. Siena Miller gets a close second place and Evangaline Lilly gets third. The Girl said I couldn’t write this but I did anyway.

Happy 21st birthday ever to Jess. Lindsay asked me to include the birthday love today but Lindsay and Jess are twins so I am pretty sure we should be wishing Lindsay a happy birthday too. I’d also like to say hi to the mom. Please note that I didn’t actually wish Lindsay a happy birthday nor did I actually say hi to the mom. I want to make it clear that it is really Jess’ day. Jess is so like that…always trying to take the spot light.

Today’s question comes from the Lovelidges Daily Remark Club. Apparently, Ellen, Jane and Sarah Lovelidge can take Roger in a fight. Here we go…What is the sixth largest body of fresh water in the United States? Please email your answer to me at Trapper@moosejaw.com.

I got my haircut on Saturday. The haircut lady and I have a nice understanding. I get to be on my Blackberry the entire haircut but I am not allowed to complain about my hair if I don't like it when she's done. Aside from a nice introduction we have never spoken. Before this haircut I told the lady that I wanted my hair cut super short. Here is a play.

Fade into the end of my haircut.

Haircut Lady: Is it short enough?
Me: It's perfect.
Haircut Lady: How about we wet it and you see how it looks?
Me: Okay

She wets my hair in the shower/sink/haircut thing, dries my hair a little and I sit back down in the haircut chair.

Haircut Lady: I think it is short enough.
Me: I agree. Cutting it shorter would have been our worst decision since going into Iraq.
Haircut Lady: That's not funny.

Fade out.

So, now I have to find a new haircut lady. That's all.

This point exchange thing is amazing. The following people all chimed in with some love yesterday.

Golf Jock, Johnathan W, Susan E, John D, Denise, John N, Mary S, Christian, Katie G, Georgie, Ray M, Laura, Allison G, Rick R, Twij, Gorw and Cud. I made up the last three names.

I won’t be checking email starting later this afternoon so I can’t do any Moosejaw point exchanges today but we really are going to come up with a system to make this work. In the meantime here is a guest Daily Remark from BethAnn.

On a final note, (yes, I'm procrastinating at work again), I spent last week in Amsterdam. Here are my trip statistics.

We:
saw 26 marajuana/coffee houses.
11 prostitutes.
drank 8 Heinekins.
were offered cocaine twice.
saw at least 10,000 bicycles but no bike shops
and ate 3 bagels.

Wednesday may have been the best day ever. I think we’re going to turn this Moosejaw point swap thing into a section of its own on the site. I am hoping for a currency recognized across the globe. I am thinking we will solve some world problem before it’s all over.

Ryan got his Moosejaw points for his Salomons from Todd, Ryan, Cams and the Shopowitz family. The following people also offered some love….Jenn C, Jen K, Lyman, Joshua B. Gretchen G, Kristian, Ryan C, Dan, Margaret, Lauren, Sherry, David C, Chris C, Sarah B, Chris C #2, James, Slippy, Forky and Plilpp. I made up those last three names.

Here is Ryan’s thank you note…

And to those who gave me points, I am forever grateful. Please know that you have played a role in equipping my feet with some fantastic new shoes...

No doubt the shoes would have looked better on your feet rather than mine, and I thank you for your selfless act. Everytime I lace them up, I will be sure to think of you, unless of course I forget...

Thanks so much, Ryan

For today, Laura B needs a few points for a new pair of boots and Jon-Alec is close to a Moosejaw Baxter Dog disk for his dog. Who wants to show some love?

Barb did her daughter’s English homework yesterday. We contacted her daughter’s teachers as soon as we found out.

I have never been in a fight but I have been slugged and laid out two or three times. Sorry about that laid out thing.

I watched the game last night live instead of using the DVR. I surveyed me and The Girl and we determined watching anything recorded is twice as good as watching something live. The survey was really just me because The Girl was ignoring me when I made my inquiry.

Is anyone going into any Moosejaw shop anytime soon? I am ready to make some sort of Cami-style announcement.

Is anyone really close to having enough Moosejaw Reward points to buy something good? If so, I’ll announce it and see if anyone wants to transfers some points to you. Maybe I won’t do that but it seems like a good idea as I type it.

They say people who announce things usually end up in a minimum security prison.

I got new glasses. Someone said they look like the glasses that Diane Sawyer's husband wears. I decided not to Google it to check it out and instead assume it is a compliment. One time I was at a Tigers' game and saw a pretty girl a couple sections away. When I walked to get a closer look she wasn't all that.it was quite a life lesson.

My friend Al claims to know who sings every eighties and nineties song on the radio. I now spend all of my time in the car going from one station to the next looking for a song to stump him on. Or stump him with. It is enough channel switching to drive myself to the asylum.

I played nine games of Scrabble yesterday. I won eight of them. Actually, I played two games last night and won one of them. In the game I lost someone got a seven letter word right off the bat. I considered tossing the board over. It is only a new found maturity that stopped me.

I have spent all of 2007 being terribly boring. I’m going to stop using bullet points until I use them again to see if that helps.

Today’s question comes from Evan. Evan submitted the question back in November but he asked that it not be posted until the first Satuday in 2007. It was either that or I messed up.

Cami, who is among the best Daily Remarkers in the world, is visiting Moosejaw in Chicago today. If we had a red carpet I imagine it would be rolled out. As it stands I believe the Chicago shop has a brown runner which is probably better than a red carpet. I am not positive what time Cami will be in the shop but if you are in the Chicago area and are interested in getting her autograph I imagine I can make it happen. Actually, if anyone is ever heading into any Moosejaw shop and wants me to make some sort of announcement please let me know and it will be done.

If, by the time, we're done with this initative and it turns into some sort of autograph trading thing or perhaps some sort of community where people see each other and realize some sort of common bond and then still choose to ignore each other then I think I will have realized some sort of relative success.

The Girl has a cough and did not stop coughing last night so I slept on the couch. It wasn’t so bad. I didn’t sleep at all but I did watch most of Footloose and two episodes of Rome on HBO On Demand. If she is coughing tonight I hope to add some snacks and light reading to the evening repertoire. I’m thinking about the Monarch Notes for As I Lay Dying.

The cough is a sort of whooping cough and infrequent enough that one could fall asleep but then wake up ten minutes later.

This particular cough seemed to have fit in beautifully with the dance training scene in Footloose.

Please note, The Girl reviewed this remark and simply said “You’re so dumb.”

• Magic Rat needs some lunch reviews. You get 200 Moosejaw points if we post a review. I wouldn’t do it if I was you. Or, is it if I were you? Regardless, I am posting this because I lost a heads up game of hold ‘em to Magic Rat. I am 0-1 so far in 2007 which bodes really well for something.



• The song Shipbuilding by Elvis Costello was playing yesterday. Someone said to me “Do you know the story behind this song?” Genuinely interested I replied “No.” And, that’s how it ended. The person (from here on out known as the person) didn’t have a story to tell about Shipbuilding at all. I am going to do the same trick to someone soon. I also may go with a “I know someone who likes you.”

I am today's t-shirt winner! THANK YOU SO MUCH! I have three older brothers all of whom live out of state, I got them some Moosejaw gear for Christmas and they were very excited. I spoke with one of them about his new shirt last night and here is how it went:

Sarah: Hey how does that shirt fit?


Brian: It is great. I love it, I have worn it 4 times already.


Sarah: Oh, perfect, I was worried it might shrink a lot when you washed it, but it must not have huh?


Brian: Oh, I don't know, I haven't washed it yet.

Please enjoy the following guest Daily Remark which is an invitation to watch the Michigan game at a friend’s…a family friend.

I’m going to have people over on Monday for the Rose Bowl. Nothing fancy just some food and beer bongs.
