Log Time: 9:16-9:24; Dr. Dumpenstein...

That's what I've been calling myself of late... much like the legendary basketball player Dr. Dunkenstein (Darrell Griffith: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darrell_Griffith) I have been putting on a clinic by going hard to the hole and finishing with authority... it's been a absolute pleasure... and the proportions... I haven't just been dropping Cosby's kids off at the pool... I've been dropping Cosby himself! Many thoughts...

Thought #1: If I was 6'8", would I be a professional athlete?

Thought #2: In Japan, do Japanese people feel strange ordering "American food" from a Japanese person?

Thought #3: What if rock beat paper, paper beat scissors and scissors beat rock? (Am I blowing your mind right now?)

Thought #4: Favorite "crap" scene in a movie... Can't Buy Me Love (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0092718/) , when Ronald Miller (Patrick Dempsey) and his new friends "shit" on Ronald's old friend, Kenneth Wurman's (Courtney Gains) house, resulting in the classic line... "You shit on my house..." by Courtney Gains.

Thought #4 (a): Courtney Gains starred in another classic movie, Harbodies, in 1984. (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0087385/)

Thought #4 (b): I'm not proud of it now (I was then), but my high school friends and I actually pulled off a "bunk" version of the Can't Buy Me Love stunt by crapping in a large plastic cup and throwing it on a random house in town. It still shocks me that (a) we did it and (b) we did it.... but we were the same impressionable group of friends who:

... Played mailbox baseball. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mailbox_baseball)

... Would "pool hop" even though we all had pools.
