Goodbye DKNY! Hello Carhart!



I took the plunge today and got myself some working pants. As I was ripping ripping my chainsaw to life today something just didn't seem just right with the picture. I thought about it for a while, and I realized that my abercrombie pants just didnt quite fit with the whole landscaping thing. Now I have a pair of working pants. I will probably be able to work twice as hard tomorrow.

Interesting newbyte of the day



Forecasters predict busy hurricane season.

Do you ever wonder what you would do in a hurricane? Don't you think it would be cool to try and stick the storm out? You're probably thinking that I'm crazy, but part of me thinks that I would be the idiot who stayed at my house to try and ride out the storm. Would you stay behind or get the hell out of dodge?! On the other hand what possesses people like me to even entertain the thought of staying in the path of destruction and harm?

Friday Afternoon Musings



Tank Think has been hurting a bit I must agree, and for this I must take a good amount of the blame, but hey life has been busy lately. Here are some things I think I know.

1. I'm getting old. I realized this yesterday as I was driving home from work and I started to think about how old I was, I honestly forgot for a second. Here was my thought process after hearing a song that reminded me of high school... "how old was I then?" , "probably about 19", how many years ago was that?", "well if I'm 23 now..wait i'm not 23 am I?....crap I think I'm 24....no that can't be right........................... ya my birthday was last week.....damn, I'm 24 that is old". WHEN the years start blending together you know you are getting old. Makes me a little sad.

2. Summer is almost here and i can't wait to spend the weekend either at singing beach with a bunch of dudes or up at Robbie's lake house with a bunch of dudes.

2a. I'm glad I have a girlfriend cause otherwise I hang out with mostly dudes.

3. Juggling 2 jobs is hard. Spending the extra money is easy. I blew an easy $40 last night at the pickled onion and for the most part only bought $2 beers. Part of that money may have been supporting my new unemployed friend.

3 1/2. Ever notice that you will spend pretty much all the money that you have in your wallet when you go to the bar? How does this happen? I mean you can bring $20 or you can bring $40, and you can probably have the same amount of fun, but for some reason you always bring more and you always spend it all. Well not usually ALL, you typically wake up the next morning and as you are lying in bed you think, "did I really spend all my money at the bar last night?" You then get up to check your wallet, and you find a couple crinkled up ones. "I'm such an idiot"..... Everytime baby....every stickin time.

4. I miss Spoon.

5. I have to move out of my house in 2 weeks and I have no place to live after that. That would make me homeless.

5.1 If I was a homeless dude and I made signs asking for money I would try to be clever so that people with money would think...this guy is witty..I'll give him some money. For example I saw a picture of a bum with a sign and it said. "Father killed by hooligans, need money for ninja lessons". Now I would give that guy at least a $1.

6. My motorcycle is awesome and riding in the summer on the northshore is sweet. The red one in the picture is the same one I have.

93. That couple in the background of the picture is Paul and Kristin before they were married. Can you just imagine what Paul is whispering to her?!?!?!?!

Have a great weekend everyone!

Whiffle!



While you lemmings slaved away for the man all day, I indulged myself in three 9 inning games of whiffle ball. While working on my riser, i also spent the day working on a deep jamacian tan. I must say, my base is coming along just nicely. But don't you all worry, I hear that the glow from your monitors also will give your skin a healthy glow over a period of many years.

Here's to sleeping til 12 everyday!

'Oddball rodent' named Headley found in Boston take scientists by surprise



He lives in the streets and buildings of Boston. With long whiskers, stubby legs and a long, furry tail, he is a rodent but unlike any seen before by wildlife scientists.

HE is definitely not a rat or squirrel, only vaguely like a guinea pig or a chinchilla. And he often shows up in Boston outdoor markets being sold for food. There, visiting scientists came upon the animals and determined that they represented a rare find: an entire new family of wildlife.

WE will call him HEADLEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

To the TankThink Faithful



A dark cloud has overcome the the editors of TankThink, and for that we apologize. One of us has been shipped off to beat down camp as part of our training, one is searching for the perfect job, one had his hair cut to short and is in hiding, and one has been hiding under his desk for three days now. We hope you will stay with us through this hard time as we work out our problems.
