Well-Preserved

Hey McDonalds, use preservatives much?

137 days sitting out, and it still looks just as (un)edible as Day #1. I’m sure that’s healthy.

I think you could probably die from eating McDonalds for every meal faster than that burger would start to mold.

POWER BALLS

My brother and his family live in Northwest Arkansas. When they aren’t sending me pictures and videos of my beautiful little nieces, or sending me vegetarian recipes, they are sending pictures of cottonmouth snakes and giants spiders in their backyard or links to tornado warnings that roll through the area all summer long.

Not Sold at Wahl-Mart

You won’t find any of the following items at my Wahl-Mart. But maybe that’s only because I haven’t set up operations in China yet. A casual, non-exhaustive, list of the stuff you might be able to find at a Chinese Wal-Mart:

Frozen crocodiles:

Random cuts of meat:

Live frogs and turtles:

Grill, Baby, Grill!

After a month long delivery ordeal through HomeDepot.com, a week long delay in assembly, two hours of actual assembly, a trip to Target for WD40 to remove a rusty bolt from the condo gas line, and two trips to Home Depot for gas line connectors, Hitt and I finally got our Weber Grill hooked [...]

The Lefty Diet

We already know Phil Mickelson loves himself some post-Masters Krispy Kreme doughnuts.

And last year, Lefty tried (ultimately unsuccessfully) to buy 105 Waffle Houses.

Now comes word that he loves Five Guys burgers:

“I grew up on In-N-Out,” said Mickelson, who admitted he had gone to Five Guys for six days in a [...]

Run Forrest, Run

The 2010 running of the Boston Marathon took place yesterday. And I’m proud to say that a couple of regular Great Wahl celebrities ran really well. They aren’t Ethiopian or Kenyan, so they didn’t win. But Tony and Julia definitely held their own:

As a frame of reference, Cheruiyot is the overall male [...]

To The Left

As Connor pointed out this morning, my Masters predictions were a little off. But I warned as much. The only position I got relatively close was Tiger’s. I said he’d get fifth. He finished tied for fourth.

My guesstimation of Mickelson’s 40th place finish was not exactly correct either. He went out and [...]

Packers Do The Body Good

By Wahl, on March 15, 2010, at 4:29 pm | Comments are closed

I’ve always touted the benefits of being a Packer fan: it’s an awesome team, the best stadium in sports, a deeply loyal fan base, foam cheese to wear on your head, frozen tundra, and isn’t afraid to admit Brett Favre is terrible.

And now, there is proof it can even save your life.

90-Something

By Wahl, on March 8, 2010, at 8:38 am | One comment - (Comments are closed)

So it was exactly 90 days ago I crossed the 80-pound threshold in My Fitness Project, but I finally hit the 90-pound mark.

In total, it’s like I’m no longer carrying around an average 7th grade boy on my back (if I’m reading this growth chart correctly).

But the net-90 mark [...]

Beer Belly

Hitt, my soon-to-be landlord, was in Green Bay this past weekend. I went up to hang out with him. First, we had dinner and cake to celebrate his grandmother’s 88th birthday. Then we went barhopping to play pool and darts. Besides the fact that I absolutely killed him in darts all night long, the [...]
