Whoa that's a lot of time.
I have been using MySpace exclusively since last January. So just to keep this going I decided to post. About nothing. |

| No fun to be had here. |
[Feb. 6th, 2006|09:14 am] |
So the IT department has shut down all of the "fun" sites here at work.
BOO.
No more AOL IM express, yahoo games, itunes, myspace, and the list goes on.
But oddly enough livejournal still works. I guess because nobody ever uses it... |

My name is: Jerry Frank LaBuy
Childhood ambition: Fly around in outer space like Han Solo.
Fondest memory: Many, but the most vivid is my first night as a father, holding my daughter most of the night.
Life soundtrack: Miles Davis.
Retreat: my home office.
Wildest dream: A world without war.
Proudest moment: Watching Brooke graduate from NIU knowing what it took to get her there.
Biggest challenge: Staying focused and keeping my life somewhat organized.
Alarm clock: My wife (and she is too good at it).
Perfect day: wake up whenever, go shopping with the family, dinner at JMK, and then a quiet night at home.
First job: cleaning up the yard with my Dad.
Indulgence: pizza and ice cream in the same night.
Last Purchase: a framed picture of my family.

Love to eat turkey,

Love to eat turkey,
Like a good boy should.
'Cause it's turkey to eat...
So good.
Turkey for me,
Turkey for you,
Let's eat the turkey in my big brown shoe.
Love to eat the turkey, at the table.
I once saw a movie with Betty Grable.
Eat that turkey, all night long.
Fifty million Elvis fans can't be wrong.
Turkey lurkey doo and turkey lurkey dap,
I eat that turkey and then I take a nap.
Thanksgiving... is a special night,
Jimmy Walker... used to say Dynomite!
That's right!
Turkey with gravy and cranberry,
Can't believe the Mets traded Darryl Strawberry.
Turkey for you and turkey for me,
Can't believe Tyson gave that girl V.D.
White meat, dark meat you just can't lose.
I fell off my moped and I got a bruise.
Turkey in the oven and the buns in the toaster.
I'll never take down my Cheryl Tiegs poster.
Wrap the turkey up in aluminum foil.
My brother like to masturbate with baby oil.
Turkey and sweet potato pie,
Sammy Davis Jr. only had one eye!
Turkey for the girls and turkey for the boys.
My favorite kind of pants are corduroys.
Gobble gobble goo and gobble gobble gickel.
I wish turkey only cost a nickel!
Oh I love turkey on Thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving everybody!

Check this website out.
www.license.shorturl.com
If you want to look up anyone (and I mean anyone) who has a US driver's license you can do it here. It doesn't show some of the more private info but it does give the name, address, and picture.
ALSO!!! If you are on here and don't want to be there's a link to opt out if you want at the bottom.

With Halloween a-comin'... I thought this would be appropriate.
Armed and Dangerous
Congratulations! You scored 86%! |
| You made it out, alive and well supplied. You probably even kept most of your party alive too. You know what to look for, what to take, and when to just run. You even feel a strange inkling to go back. If you did, you'd probably do just fine. |

My test tracked 1 variable How you compared to other people your age and gender:

You scored higher than 81% on survivalpoints |

John Cleese's Letter to America
To the citizens of the United States of America:
In light of your failure to elect a competent President of the USA and thus to govern yourselves, we hereby give notice of the revocation of your independence, effective immediately. Her Sovereign Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II, will resume monarchical duties over all states, commonwealths and other territories (excepting Kansas, which she does not fancy).
Your new prime minister, Tony Blair, will appoint a governor for America without the need for further elections. Congress and the Senate will be disbanded. A questionnaire may be circulated next year to determine whether any of you noticed.
To aid in the transition to a British Crown Dependency, the following rules are introduced with immediate effect:
1. You should look up "revocation" in the Oxford English Dictionary. Then look up "aluminium," and check the pronunciation guide. You will be amazed at just how wrongly you have been pronouncing it.
The letter 'U' will be reinstated in words such as 'colour', 'favour' and 'neighbour.' Likewise, you will learn to spell 'doughnut' without skipping half the letters, and the suffix "ize" will be replaced by the suffix "ise."
You will learn that the suffix 'burgh' is pronounced 'burra'; you may elect to respell Pittsburgh as 'Pittsberg' if you find you simply can't cope with correct pronunciation.
Generally, you will be expected to raise your vocabulary to acceptable levels (look up "vocabulary"). Using the same twenty-seven words interspersed with filler noises such as "like" and "you know" is an unacceptable and inefficient form of communication.
2. There is no such thing as "US English." We will let Microsoft know on your behalf. The Microsoft spell-checker will be adjusted to take account of the reinstated letter 'u' and the elimination of "-ize."
3. You will relearn your original national anthem, "God Save The Queen", but only after fully carrying out Task #1 (see above).
4. July 4th will no longer be celebrated as a holiday. November 2nd will be a new national holiday, but to be celebrated only in England. It will be called "Come-Uppance Day."
5. You will learn to resolve personal issues without using guns, lawyers or therapists. The fact that you need so many lawyers and therapists shows that you're not adult enough to be independent. Guns should only be handled by adults. If you're not adult enough to sort things out without suing someone or speaking to a therapist then you're not grown up enough to handle a gun.
6. Therefore, you will no longer be allowed to own or carry anything more dangerous than a vegetable peeler. A permit will be required if you wish to carry a vegetable peeler in public.
7. All American cars are hereby banned. They are crap and this is for your own good. When we show you German cars, you will understand what we mean. All intersections will be replaced with roundabouts, and you will start driving on the left with immediate effect. At the same time, you will go metric immediately and without the benefit of conversion tables. Both roundabouts and metrication will help you understand the British sense of humour.
8. The Former USA will adopt UK prices on petrol (which you have been calling "gasoline") -roughly $6/US gallon. Get used to it.
9. You will learn to make real chips. Those things you call French fries are not real chips, and those things you insist on calling potato chips are properly called "crisps." Real chips are thick cut, fried in animal fat, and dressed not with mayonnaise but with vinegar.
10. Waiters and waitresses will be trained to be more aggressive with customers.
11. The cold tasteless stuff you insist on calling beer is not actually beer at all. Henceforth, only proper British Bitter will be referred to as "beer," and European brews of known and accepted provenance will be referred to as "Lager." American brands will be referred to as "Near-Frozen Gnat's Urine," so that all can be sold without risk of further confusion.
12. Hollywood will be required occasionally to cast English actors as good guys. Hollywood will also be required to cast English actors to play English characters. Watching Andie MacDowell attempt English dialogue in "Four Weddings and a Funeral" was an experience akin to having one's ears removed with a cheese grater.
13. You will cease playing American "football." There is only one kind of proper football; you call it "soccer." Those of you brave enough will, in time, will be allowed to play rugby (which has some similarities to American "football", but does not involve stopping for a rest every twenty seconds or wearing full kevlar body armour like a bunch of nancies).
Further, you will stop playing baseball. It is not reasonable to host an event called the "World Series" for a game which is not played outside of America. Since only 2.1% of you are aware that there is a world beyond your borders, your error is understandable.
14. You must tell us who killed JFK. It's been driving us mad.
15. An internal revenue agent (i.e. tax collector) from Her Majesty's Government will be with you shortly to ensure the acquisition of all monies due backdated to 1776.
Thank you for your co-operation. |

I haven't seen it yet but QuizFarm.com says I'm this guy. (And I knew Brooke was sexy, but I didn't know she could kill people.)
 | You scored as Hoban 'Wash' Washburne. The Pilot. You are a leaf on the wind, see how you soar. You have a good job, and a stunning wife who loves you (and can kill people). Life is good, which is why you can't help smiling. Now if you can just get people to actually listen to your opinion things would be perfect.

Working Waterfront was a blast this year.
All overtime pay. Awesome.
8.5 hours of it. Double awesome.
Brookie made it down and we had free drinks and dinner AND we watched the fireworks from our own little secluded outside table by the river. Super Awesome.
Madison being in the demo that's playing at Waterfront all weekend. Really cool and Awesome.
Seeing Joe, Anna, Jake, AJ, Hannah, and everybody else who came down. Really Awesome.
For some reason I'm now dating AJ. I guess that's aweso... wait.
All in all a great night! |

THE NEXT BOND?
I say Hugh Jackman...
He's a name and a really good actor. Plus he's young enough to stick around awhile, but he's old enough to look the part. |

| Ahoy! |

First off, being a Dad is awesome.
Secondly, the USS Flagg is assembled and docked in my garage. Pics later.
Thirdly, I just found out Jepsen reads this thing. If he's reading this sign up for a free account and reply!
YO JOE!!

Brooke's brother gave me his old GI Joe USS Flagg last weekend. (For those of us who had GI Joes and grew up in the 80's we realize that it was THE toy to have.) I was gonna buy one but to get one complete on eBay it's like 500 dollars. The one he gave me is in a billion pieces and needs to be cleaned, but it's all there. It's all in my garage and I'm gonna try and put it together this weekend. I never got one as a kid (as much as I pleaded every birthday and christmas for three years) so it's cool I finally got one.
True it's the 00's, I am now 30, married, and have a daughter, but it's still cool to me.
YO JOE!!

Brooke and I would like to show our latest purchase...
Brooke saw it. Had to have it. Mainly because it's from her favorite episode where Peter gets the job at the renaissance fair(e).
