Toothbrush Made of Dollar Bills

Most of you out there know that I’m an eccentric green thumb.  My latest adventure is GROWING HOPS!  Yes, hops, the stuff that makes your beer taste yummy (in my humble opinion).  Like my gramps and dad before me, I’ve become a die hard organic gardener.  Last month, my dad surprised me with a subscription to Organic Gardening (magazine).  

Before I went to sleep last night, I was flipping through the “April 2009″ issue (I love how magazines put issues out a month, or two, or three, in advance).  On page 34, there was an advertisement for “RADIUS, SENSATIONAL TOOTHBRUSHES.”  What’s crazy is, this toothbrush is made from 50% recycled US Dollars, and 50% with recycled plastic.  I’m not making this up.

At first I thought it was just funny that this company was advertising a toothbrush in a magazine about gardening. However, now that I’ve actually checked out their website, www.radiustoothbrush.com, I’m blown away that someone actually had this idea.  Problem is, I’m still too much of a cheap ass to pay $18.77 for 3 toothbrushes, then $6.95 for 3 replacement heads.  However, knowing me, it’ll only be a matter of time before I break down and buy a few, simply because the story is so bizarre.  I love weird shit.

Questionable Beards

For anyone who hasn’t seen Levi’s beard, you should check out his blog.  That beard has gotten pretty freakin righteous.  My buddy Spencer sent me an e-mail with a link to a video that Canadian comedian Jon Lajoie (no clue how to pronounce this guys’ name) made awhile back.  I’d seen it, but had forgotten how damn funny it was.  Levi, you need some glasses and a trench coat.  Make it happen, bro.

St. Patricks Day Is For Lovers

Today is my parents’ 36th wedding anniversary.  Back in 1973, my folks said “I do” and all hell has broken loose since then.  They’ve had two kids, and my sister has now given them two grandkids.  Between me, my sis, and my two nephews, we’re responsible for the countless gray hairs that have crept up on them.  Regardless of the chaos that life throws at them, they’re constantly laughing and sharing their love with everyone around them.  They inspire me to seek happiness, they are models for HOW people should treat each other, and they are charitable with both their time and their money.  I am blessed to have them as role models, and grateful to God that they are my parents.  Mom, dad, I love you both very much.  Happy Anniversary.

To celebrate, I’ll be wearing my brand new “Guinness hockey jersey” at the gig tonight in Billings.  The walls of Bones Brewing will shake from the grandness of our tribute to this mighty holiday in honor of the Irish saint, Patrick.  Pat, thanks for doing what you did for Ireland.  You were a good man.  Time to raise a cold one in celebration of you, and my folks as well.guinnessgreenfront

No Camera Blues

I’m at a bit of a disadvantage for my blogs as of late, because I’m camera-less.  I know that sounds cheesy, but think about it.  What if you didn’t have your camera?  How would you feel?  Cold and lonely in the middle of a snowy field, while the hateful loneliness of winter sets in all around you?  Yes, you’d feel that way.  That’s where I’m at.  I’m lost without my camera.

Thus, today I’ll just be random.  This photographer HAD to be a dude, cuz there’s no way a woman would let a bunch of dudes pose like this.  What was he thinking as he snapped this pic?  (Be as crude, witty, etc, as you care to be.)

March Madness!

Ok everyone, Josh and I belong to a NCAA bracket.  We’re doing ours through the Lewis & Clark Brewery.  It’s FREE and the link is right here.  (If you’ve never done a CBS bracket before, it’s quick and easy, and yes, FREE to sign up.  Took me about 30 seconds total.)  The password is:  beernuts

It costs you NOTHING to sign up, and the winner will win:  A Lewis & Clark T-shirt, 2 growlers (filled with your choice of beer, of course), 2 L&C pint glasses, and a Clintons CD.  Yes, I’ll throw in one of our CDs (your choice) if you win.  A.J., Levi, if one of you guys win, you don’t get the CD.  (And yes, I expect both of you to be signed up before our St. Pats gig at Bones.)  Josh, we know you won’t win, so that doesn’t pertain to you.

The official NCAA bracket will be picked by Sunday, March 15th.  You can make your personal brackets after that, obviously.  I can’t wait to dominate over Keehr Dawg.  Prepare for March Madness.  YEEEEEEEHAW!!!!!

Upcoming Gigs

In two days (Saturday) we will be in WEST YELLOWSTONE for a big “Basket Weaving Party!”  Everyone come and weave some baskets with us!  (Just joking.  The party is actually in celebration of snow, more snow, and snow on top of that.  Prepare to see a bunch of people doing crazy jumps and stuff on snow mobiles.)

On Tuesday, March 17th, aka- ST. PATRICK’S DAY, our band, The Clintons, will be playing in Billings at Bones Brewing.  I’ll be wearing my new Guinness hockey jersey that the fellas bought me in Great Falls.  Frak yes.  I’m gonna need a new liver after that night.  Any donors?

Hey, MISSOULA, we’re coming back in a few weeks!  WAHOO!  The Other Side, Saturday, March 27th, doors at 8:30pm.  That’ll be righteous.  Did I mention it’s 18 and over?!?  No I didn’t.  Well, it’s 18 and over!  Now I did.

Last but not least, YO MINNESOTA!  Keehr and I are headed out to ‘Sota in the beginning of April.  That’ll be totally KICK ASS.  Here’s our tour poster.  It’s like our very own “Unfinished Business Tour,” but not.  Hellz yes.

The Secret

2122815563_facbffb11b

Anyone else seen “The Secret“?  Or, have you read the book?  Well, I watched it last night on the world wide net.  The interweb, if you will.  The movie is turbo CHEEESY in places, but for the most part it is alignment with my world view.  Positive thinking is super important.  However, I’ve never tried to channel positive thinking (ie-focused, repetitive positive thoughts about people, situations, or things).  

Thus, today is day #1 of trying to incorporate The Secret into my daily life.  I’m gonna change the world and make it better, one day at a time.  I will too, because I believe it.

The picture above is just a cool pic of a forest that reminds me of the story “Robin Hood.”  This is what I pictured Nottingham Forest to look like.  Figured I’d share.

25 Things I Hate About Facebook

picture-5

 

 

 

 

 

I am admittedly a Facebook junkie.  I log on every weekday, sometimes even weekends, and occasionally twice a day.  I update my status everyday, and I spend a good 20 to 60 minutes EVERY DAY on FB.  Sure, there are people who spend more time than me, but honestly, for me to spend more than ten minutes on ONE WEBSITE (YouTube included) is fairly unheard of, unless of course we’re talking about Facebook.

Meet Julian Smith.  He’s a funny dude.  (Click on the video below.)

Great Falls Wine And Food Fest

We’re off to Great Falls for the second week in a row, but this time it’s for the Great Falls Wine and Food Fest! (This link is a Great Falls Tribune article about the event.)  Basically, this is like a “grown up prom,” where people get dressed up all fancy shmancy, and mingle from room to room to try different beers and wines.  Sure, at high school prom there wasn’t rooms full of beer and wine (well, maybe for some of you there was) but you get the idea.  Adults wearing formal wear, looking hot, and in general abiding to the fullest of their abiditional prowess.  It’s bad ass.  I can’t wait.

Make A Movie!

Ok, so I’ve watched this video four times now.  It hurts.  

My favorite is when it shows them talking about “our anniversary is coming up” and their wedding picture is in the background.  I’ve got tears in my eyes from laughing so hard.

Levi, if you had a Canadian accent, this would be you in 40 years, no doubt.  

(video is 2 minutes long, no cussing.  The action doesn’t start until you’re 15 seconds in.  I promise you, this will be 2 of the most entertaining minutes of your life.)
