A New Post...

Hello out there!

It's been a while since my last posting. I hope all is well!

"The Daily Show" recently did a story on the new methods of communication that we have at our disposal. The paradox of this communication technology is that it can connect us to people who are distant but it can separate us from those who are close to us, "creating new forms of social behaviour that blur the distinctions between online and real world interactions.”

My name is Zambo and I was a Blogaholic...For a while there, I was getting addicted to Blogsville, but lately I haven't had a lot of free time...

Anyway, we had Lasagna's niece stay over with us for the weekend and we went to Boston Pizza on Clifton Hill in Niagara Falls. We had pizza (Tropical Chicken) and then played games at the arcade in the basement. There were a lot of games that issue tickets which can be cashed in for various prizes. Normally, I like the first-person shooter games with the pseudo-realistic guns attached to them...but sadly they don't issue tickets. So I ended up playing this game where you drop a token into the slot and let it fall onto this spinning wheel. The object is to time it so that your token goes into a hole on the spinning wheel, thereby scoring 'bonus' points...So that game was like a ticket printing machine and we ended up getting enough tickets to cash in for Scooby-Doo (5000) seen below with a quarter on his nose to show scale...


Lasagna's niece got Scooby and we had enough tickets left over so I could get a monkey! (Seen on Scooby's neck below)...

Once we achieved our goal, the gals went on one of the rides there and I got to play Crisis Zone! (see below). It has a small machine gun and a foot pedal to reload and to hold up your shield...(in case you've never tried it)...The thing that sucks about this game though, is that when you clear all three levels the game is over and you can enter three initials...I came in sixth...Then the girls found me and we returned home to watch some "Looney Tunes".

Last night I noticed this episode summary...

Bart Has Two Mommies (HABF07)Airing: March 19thNed Flanders wins a new computer that features Susan Sarandon as the "You've Got Mail" voice and he offers it to Marge, as he has no use for it. In return, Marge babysits the Flanders children so that Ned can attend the Left-Handed Convention, where he meets New York Yankees pitcher Randy Johnson, who is selling left-handed teddy bears. With Marge spending so much time at The Flanders', Homer must look after Bart and Lisa. Homer takes the kids to an animal retirement home, but the trip goes awry when Toot-Toot the monkey pulls Bart into her cage and holds him hostage. Marge learns of the kidnapping when it is a breaking news report and she must figure out a way to get her son back.

It all ended up OK and the Chimp lady was reunited with her son, Mr. Teeny.

I enjoy "The War at Home" after "The Simpsons" ...

I also watched "Grey's Anatomy" and "The Sopranos" which were pretty good episodes...i wonder what's gonna happen with Tony.

Tonight the long-awaited return of "Prison Break" was on, followed by "The Apprentice" and then "24" ...Frankly, I'm spent. I got home at a few minutes to eight and managed to squeeze them all into my schedule as I got this post ready...I thought of an idea for a new show too (it's actually more of an SNL-type sketch). The basic idea is that it's a medical-type show, but the characters work exclusively on treating the casualties of "24" ...We never really get a chance to learn about the characters 'cause they're too busy treating victims and taking in bodies...It's just a thought...

Also, have you ever noticed that Paul Sr. from "American Chopper" bears a striking resemblance to The Cowardly Lion from "The Wizard of Oz"?

That's all for now.

I'll try to catch up with all my pals as soon as I can.

Take care out there!

Your Pal,

Zambo.
