The story of Buster Magnum - a felon without a job or Sudafed, but with plenty of guns

Main character: Buster Magnum, who just got out of jail for committing gun- and meth-related crimes

 Setting: Pharmacy

Buster Magnum: "Hey, I'd like to get some Sudafed please."

Pharmacist Cindy Chu: "I'll need to see some ID."

Magnum: "ID? I don't have any ID. I just got out of jail and have really bad, um, allergies."

Chu: "I'm sorry, sir, but I won't be able to provide you with any Sudafed until you show me some ID."


Setting: Job interview to become a greeter at Wal-Mart

Interviewer Chip Filet: "Good afternoon, Mr. Magnum. So, tell me, what interested you in this position?"

Magnum: "I just got out of jail. I need a job. I thought even with my history, I could get this job."

Filet: "I see... So, if I may ask, what were you in jail for?"

Magnum: "I had a meth lab in my grandma's garage. I did a lot of that stuff, and sold it too. When I was high on it one time, I just busted out a couple of my Magnums and killed some people. Drugs will mess you up, man."

Filet: "I see. When's the last time you've done drugs?"

Magnum: "This morning."

Filet: "Well, Mr. Magnum, while I believe in second chances, I honestly don't think this is the place for you."

Magnum: "What? Are you serious? I'm gonna..."

Filet: "SECURITY!"


Setting: A gun show in Hicktown, KY

Gun dealer Jimmy Bobo: "Whatcha lookin' for?"

Magnum: "Guns!"

Bobo: "Well, you came to the right place! What kind of guns are you thinking about getting?"

Magnum: "Some Magnums and assault rifles"

Bobo: "Well, I have plenty of those. Here are the Magnums over here and the assault rifles are just a little past those."

Magnum: "Beautiful"

Bobo: "I know. Aren't they? So, how many would you like to buy today?"

Magnum: "What's the limit?"

Bobo: "There's no limit! Buy as many as you'd like."

Magnum: "Crap. I forgot my ID. I..."

Bobo: "Don't worry about that. Why on earth would we do a background check?"

Magnum: "I know, right?" ::laughs::

Boycotting jukeboxes because of TouchTunes

I love music and enjoy hitting the bar(s) over the weekend, so naturally, when the mood strikes me, I've never been coy about playing some songs on the jukebox. This past Thursday, a friend of mine turned 50, so several friends of her's, including myself, all met up to celebrate the occasion. At around 9:30, a friend of mine and I both chipped in $5 to play some songs on the jukebox. Four hours and 231 skips later, we gave up on hearing the songs we had selected, and went home knowing we had just wasted $5. This wasn't the first time such a thing had happened to me (and many others), and due to that, I'll be boycotting jukeboxes. Why? The scam known as TouchTunes. You see, here's how the plot typically breaks down. A person (or group of people) downloads the TouchTunes app on his/her phone, consumes one too many adult beverages, and due to this, has less care for spending extra money to hear the songs of their choosing right NOW. That's the thing with TouchTun...

A closer look at the Scramble With Friends power-ups

I am unashamed to admit that I'm a nerd. My idea of a good time is playing a word game like Boggle or Scrabble. Thankfully, I (and many others) can play such games via Facebook and/or my (our) cell phone(s). While it seems that cheating has become more commonplace in these games (Words With Friends in particular) than San Diego has had nice weather, I've yet to give in to that craze. One element present with the game Scramble With Friends (Boggle) not present in Words With Friends (Scrabble) are legal boosts called "power-ups," which cost a number of tokens from the 15 available. I've now tried all five power-ups, including the latest one which costs money. So, in case anyone's curious about playing the game or giving these power-ups a gander, here's a rundown of them all: Freeze - I think this is probably my favorite of all the power-ups. With the freeze, time stands still for a matter of seconds, which allows you more time to find words and improve...

Film Critic Steve Rhodes Has Some Issues

Normally, I don't "bash" movie critics, because what's the point? We all have different tastes in film, so who am I to say that their tastes are wrong? But, I just bumped into a critic online the other day, and I really have to wonder about him. There is not much consistency with what he likes and doesn't like. Check that, he dislikes anything with George Clooney, he either strongly likes or dislikes films dealing with politics, and he typically enjoys Arnold Schwarzenegger films. Keep in mind that this is a major film critic. This is not a guy like me who writes blog reviews after I view a film at the theaters. Also keep in mind that I'm very open-minded when it comes to films. I enjoy: comedies, dramas, science-fiction, action, suspense/mystery, horror, romantic comedies, romance, foreign, independent, satires, amongst others. It takes a lot for me to sit down, watch a film, and dislike it. There are only a few films where after the credits start rolling, I...
