MCCAIN.....</title><description>After my year long hiatus from BOBservations I got really bored and decided the time has come to give my 2 readers what they have been longing for... political commentary: (I know what you're thinking, "Bobby doesn't have 2 readers,"... if you must know, I count myself).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;WHO TO VOTE FOR?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I am one of those Americans that still has not made up their mind, so my decision will be made in large part based on what happens between now and November. This includes the topics that are on everybody's mind:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Vice Presidents&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;My vote could easily fall upon the man that chooses the best VP candidate, so in case the Senators are reading, here are a list of suggestions that could win or lose my vote:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Obama: &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bad Candidate&lt;/strong&gt;: Hillary Clinton. Dude, you don't owe her shit. She is Reese Witherspoon in &lt;em&gt;Election. &lt;/em&gt;One second she is tearing down your posters and mudslinging, next second she is sleeping with her teacher to get ahead (or in this case the voters at the DNC). You give her one pant leg, and next thing you know she wants the whole pant suit. Let this be a warning to you...NEVER trust a Clinton. This includes Hillary, Bill, and George with his whole band of P Funk All stars.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qPgtEY-vtOk/SKXUvCg8JNI/AAAAAAAAABk/CmQAKMDEYhI/s1600-h/hillary_clinton.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5234824046482040018" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" height="233" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qPgtEY-vtOk/SKXUvCg8JNI/AAAAAAAAABk/CmQAKMDEYhI/s320/hillary_clinton.jpg" width="247" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;strong&gt;Good Candidate&lt;/strong&gt;: Hillary Swank. Do you want a male or a female vice president? Why not a female vice president that could PLAY a better male vice president than any other candidate? If you choose Hillary Swank you have a virtual Iguana of foreign policy, she can act tough to rigid foreign heads of state or she can appear caring/compassionate in the face of tragedy. Also, don't forget, she was &lt;em&gt;The Next Karate Kid&lt;/em&gt; ....need I say more?&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_qPgtEY-vtOk/SKXU8kV7rII/AAAAAAAAABs/7XwlzpTps7M/s1600-h/hilary-swank-picture-1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5234824278900976770" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_qPgtEY-vtOk/SKXU8kV7rII/AAAAAAAAABs/7XwlzpTps7M/s200/hilary-swank-picture-1.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bad Candidate&lt;/strong&gt;: John Edwards. This may sound obvious now, but you have to move on from the golden boy. Controversy aside, you don't want a vice president who is better looking than you. Take a page from the high school girl handbook, if you are reasonably attractive you surround yourself with FAT and UGLY friends to make yourself appear better, not the opposite. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qPgtEY-vtOk/SKXVTrYd3PI/AAAAAAAAAB0/5BDpunixJxY/s1600-h/jon-edwards-1-4-08.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5234824675927645426" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" height="165" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qPgtEY-vtOk/SKXVTrYd3PI/AAAAAAAAAB0/5BDpunixJxY/s200/jon-edwards-1-4-08.jpg" width="257" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Good Candidate&lt;/strong&gt;: John Edwards. Dude, he can predict the future. If you choose the psychic John Edwards as your VP he can avoid major catastrophes by asking our nation's enemies two dozen questions about their dead relatives. EXAMPLE: &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_qPgtEY-vtOk/SKXVgubz5xI/AAAAAAAAAB8/lXUZVGGMb6I/s1600-h/JohnEdward_Welcome.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5234824900085278482" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 198px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 285px" height="264" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_qPgtEY-vtOk/SKXVgubz5xI/AAAAAAAAAB8/lXUZVGGMb6I/s200/JohnEdward_Welcome.jpg" width="182" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;John Edwards: "Mr. Bin Laden, I sense a loss"&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Osama Bin Laden: "Yes, my parakeet died two days"&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;John Edwards: "I'm sensing that your parakeet died two days ago"&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Osama Bin Laden: "That's amazing!"&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;John Edwards: "I sense that his name started with the letter A, or B, or C, or D, or F, or G, or H, or I, or J..."&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Osama Bin Laden: "His name was Jihad, it did start with a J!! That's amazing!"&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;McCain&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bad Candidate&lt;/strong&gt;: Mitt Romney. Don't you see that the Mormons are trying to take over the world? Next thing you know the church of LDS will make him the "new prophet" and soon all mailmen will be Mormons that wont give you your mail until you let them in. Have you seen his family? They're like a small army of beautiful robots, there is no fucking way that they were created naturally....and we've all seen iRobot (okay, no one has seen iRobot) but if you have Mitt as your VP you better hire Will Smith as your Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff to fight the Romney Robots.&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qPgtEY-vtOk/SKXWNfrWV4I/AAAAAAAAACE/7vEZMY_VD1c/s1600-h/rt_mitt_romney_070425_ms.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5234825669218031490" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qPgtEY-vtOk/SKXWNfrWV4I/AAAAAAAAACE/7vEZMY_VD1c/s200/rt_mitt_romney_070425_ms.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Good Candidate&lt;/strong&gt;: Jesse Ventura. Okay we've all seen the Predator and made the jokes, but there are two solid reasons to consider Jesse Ventura as your VP. 1. Your biggest weakness....is your weakness. People think you are frail and going to die at any second. Why not have a former navy seal/pro wrestler around to ensure that your administration wont die with you. Plus, can you imagine him in foreign policy talks with oh I don't know, Pakistan? Their president is like 5'1". He would scare the shit out of them, unlike yourself. 2. Who is going to stop Governor Schwarzenegger if he forms a coup? Not you, and probably not Jessie either....but there ain't no fucking way Mitt Romney would stand up to the Terminator.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qPgtEY-vtOk/SKXWo2QUR5I/AAAAAAAAACU/MiqkiLX4kxw/s1600-h/jesse%2520ventura%2520%2520-%2520gun%2520.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5234826139135133586" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qPgtEY-vtOk/SKXWo2QUR5I/AAAAAAAAACU/MiqkiLX4kxw/s200/jesse%2520ventura%2520%2520-%2520gun%2520.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bad candidate&lt;/strong&gt;: Bill O'Reilly. Don't be enticed by talks that you need to lure more conservative voters, fuck that. Bill O'Reilly is an asshole who would rather criticize than participate. The republicans will fall in line with you without the help of Mr "No Spin Zone." &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qPgtEY-vtOk/SKXWyuw63-I/AAAAAAAAACc/TTDELJP1Ebs/s1600-h/oreillyno.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5234826308923088866" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qPgtEY-vtOk/SKXWyuw63-I/AAAAAAAAACc/TTDELJP1Ebs/s200/oreillyno.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Good Candidate&lt;/strong&gt;: Bill Clinton. Now hear me out....1: Bill Clinton would steal a shit load of Democratic voters from Obama. 2: You would never have to worry about making the news with any "controversy" as long as his ass is around. You thought he was bad as president? Now imagine him with all of that power and ZERO responsibility, you might as well film a documentary of his days in office and call it American Pie 4. 3: Remember what I said about "never trusting a Clinton", while that is still true to some degree (especially with your hot wife), he would be so glad to be out of the house and away from Hillary that he would do whatever you told him.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_qPgtEY-vtOk/SKXXcuizViI/AAAAAAAAACs/njTbsfgEEng/s1600-h/Bill-Clinton.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5234827030418380322" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_qPgtEY-vtOk/SKXXcuizViI/AAAAAAAAACs/njTbsfgEEng/s200/Bill-Clinton.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Gentlemen, I ask you to consider my suggestions as they will surely lead to a victory in November.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8549469758099388518-2577766054013517246?l=bobbyservations.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://bobbyservations.blogspot.com/2008/08/obama-vs-mccain.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Bobby Davidson)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qPgtEY-vtOk/SKXUvCg8JNI/AAAAAAAAABk/CmQAKMDEYhI/s72-c/hillary_clinton.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8549469758099388518.post-8089226147398931586</guid><pubDate>Wed, 24 Oct 2007 10:30:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2007-10-24T05:54:15.005-05:00</atom:updated><title>This is God's Country</title><description>&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;C-ayyyy N-ayyyyy D-ayyyyy&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_qPgtEY-vtOk/Rx8gfwuZj7I/AAAAAAAAABM/ACiCQTcsLdI/s1600-h/100_1738.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5124850630998462386" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_qPgtEY-vtOk/Rx8gfwuZj7I/AAAAAAAAABM/ACiCQTcsLdI/s320/100_1738.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;As divulged in yesterday's groundbreaking entry...I am in Newfoundland, Canada awaiting aircraft maintenance so I can return to the US.

Those of you that are reading this undoubtedly thought that I died, fell off of the face of the earth, or worse yet... got bored with blogging. The true answer is that I simply deployed to the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;beautiful&lt;/span&gt; countries of Kuwait and Iraq for a little over 4 months where I was not allowed to access any websites that had anything to do with fun.

A 12 year old boy was safely rescued from the Appalachian Mountains in McGrady, NC Tuesday after being lost for over 3 days. Authorities believe the reason the boy was lost in the first place was:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A. He was acting out the real life version of a game his scoutmaster taught him on the trip called "hide the snake in the log."&lt;br /&gt;B. He had seen &lt;em&gt;Deliverance&lt;/em&gt; and was out searching for banjo music and some of the locals.&lt;br /&gt;C. He became to ashamed to face the world after realizing that he was, in fact.... a boyscout.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;2. Recent reports cite that Hollywood actress Angelina Jolie has recently adopted yet another foreign baby. When questioned, sources close to Jolie commented that her reason for doing so was:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A. She needed another tan baby to match her two black babies and three white babies.&lt;br /&gt;B. She is just curious how many babies it would take for even Brad Pitt to stop F**king her....(Vegas puts the over/under at 5 X 10^16)&lt;br /&gt;C. She is building an audience that will actually go see Tomb Raider 3.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;3.  The U.S. Congress is currently investigating the Executive Branch's recent decision prompting the firing of 8 U.S. Attorneys from 8 different states.  Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy believes that U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales approved these firings because:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A.  If he didn't, his "boss" would choke him to death just like he did to Admiral Motti aboard the &lt;em&gt;Death Star&lt;/em&gt;. (fyi I had to look up Admiral Motti's name on "woookieepedia"....I can't make this stuff up &lt;a href="http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Force_choke"&gt;http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Force_choke&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;br /&gt;B.  It is the first step in Pres. Bush's "merger plan" between the Executive and Legislative Branches of government.  By 2010, the plan calls for Emperor Bush to make all court/law making decisions by shaking his magic 8 ball and using a wigi board.&lt;br /&gt;C.  It is well known doctrine that job termination is the consequence of free thought for Republicans in this administration.  Now sip the Kool Aid.....sipppp.......that's better.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;4.  Andrew Dice Clay's new reality T.V. show "Dice Undisputed" centers around Dice's "comeback" to the comedy world in his pursuit of his ultimate dream of selling out Giant's Stadium.  The main thematic development throughout each episode surrounds:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A.  Who gives a flying f**k?  If I wanted to see white trash from Jersey, I'd turn on MTV's &lt;em&gt;True Life&lt;/em&gt; series.&lt;br /&gt;B.  Who gives a flying f**k?  I can think of 400 has-beens who interest me more: (including but not limited to Captain Kangaroo, The Micro Machine Man, That Indian Dude with the really long fingernails, and the creator's of &lt;em&gt;The Elephant Show&lt;/em&gt;; Sharon Lois and Bram).&lt;br /&gt;C.  Who gives a flying f**k?  It doesn't take talent to replace the work "dock" with "c*ck" in a nursery rhyme.  Go work in a garage already!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8549469758099388518-4246627098275832138?l=bobbyservations.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://bobbyservations.blogspot.com/2007/03/bob-culture-survey-2-deuce.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Bobby Davidson)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8549469758099388518.post-4019928539002954842</guid><pubDate>Thu, 22 Mar 2007 02:15:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2007-03-21T21:45:10.240-05:00</atom:updated><title>Hey yo Adrian!! could I get a back rub?....</title><description>First and foremost, for those of you who think that I was just a wham bam thank you ma'am one night stand blogger, that I fizzled my way out of the blog community after just 7 posts like the literary Chumbawumba, you are incorrect.  I am currently living in a hotel on base and I do not have this "new fangled" invention called "the innn-tarrr-net" that most people outside of North Carolina speak of.  As a result, my blog entries become few and far between as I get indoctrinated into work, try to close on my brand new house, and take up my most recent hobby....BOXING!!  Yes people you heard correctly, Bobby "the....." Davidson (still working on the nickname, perhaps you could post some suggestions) is now a boxer.  But how did this all come about?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, believe it or not, I've always wanted to be a boxer.  I've never wanted to compete like "Rocky" or the "Cindarella Man," I just simply want to be a part of the sport...in some way.  Well now I am taking lessons from what I believe to be some sort of Jamaican man named Gurjot K. Singh (no relation to Vijay Singh for those golf nuts out there) from a place named "Angel's Gym" (no asian sensations involved however).  I've only been to one lesson, I haven't even been punched yet, and already this sport is kicking my ass.  I still have a long way to go but I hold on to my dream of having a statue erected in my honor on the stairs leading up to the Philadelphia Library (for now I'll settle for Fayetteville).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Here is a list of people I want to Box:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Barbara Streisand:&lt;/strong&gt;  Fuck her and her shitty singing voice, I don't like her and I don't need a reason.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Dr Phil:&lt;/strong&gt;  If you think I need give a reason why I want to box him, you are next on the list.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Every girl who has ever hosted a party on my sweet 16:  &lt;/strong&gt;you think they may be easy, but I'm taking them on all at once.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;A Killer Whale:&lt;/strong&gt; You gotta earn the right to have a cool adjective in front of your name like "killer," we'll see if the new genus isn't called "Glass Jaw Whale" when I'm done.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Dr Phil:&lt;/strong&gt; He won the first fight because he is fat and surprisingly agile.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Scarlett Johansson:&lt;/strong&gt; Don't tell my girlfriend, but while we're fighting I'm going to try to touch her boobs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Dick Cheney:&lt;/strong&gt;  I know I might be going out of my "weight class" per se, but If I can beat the "dark knight" ain't no body ever going to fuck with me again.

My real estate agent (Bill) says that he's never seen a ________(noun) so _______ (adjective) before....and he's 78 years old!  He wondered how I was going to fit my ________(noun) into Al's (my builder) ________(noun), but he was confident that Al could give me a hand. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Next, to save money, I stopped going to bed with _________(nouns) and started sleeping ________(at/on a place).  As I go to and from work filling out paperwork and meeting people, my mind often wanders to my brand new giant _________(noun) and how I'm ever going to be able to _________(verb) it along with all of the other _________(nouns) in my life right now.  I just feel like people are demanding a lot from me!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lastly, my favorite group of _________(people) did some very impressive ________(actions) last week.

No, I am not saddened by the autopsy results of the Big Bopper (seriously, wtf?? he's been dead for like 50 years), I am sucking it up and giving YOU the reader(s?) what you desire.  What am I sucking up you might ask?....my dignity, my manhood, and the pain emanating from my C*ck.  Why is there pain in my &lt;em&gt;beef bus&lt;/em&gt;?  Sit back and relax children....its story time:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Around 5:00 pm central standard time today, your favorite 1st Lieutenant (select) was at the Pope AFB gym engaging in his daily workout routine.  Today was "shoulders and abs" and midway through the weight room session of the workout, I began to do "upright flys" to better tone my upper shoulder muscles. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;*Now, for those of you who aren't familiar with "upright flys" you need to understand that this exercise involves two dumbbells, one in each hand, being held around the belt area, pressed together.  Once the dumbbells (in this instance 25lbs) are in place, you lift the weights by both shrugging your shoulders and doing a sort of reverse butterfly flapping motion.  After the weights are lifted to their full extent, they are lowered back down towards the belt buckle and the motion is repeated. *&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;Well it doesn't take the foresight of Ray Charles to see that all of this raising and lowering, and separating and rejoining of these two weights within close proximity to my genitalia is a recipe for disaster.  I was on the 15th of my 15 repetition set when I began to struggle.  I pushed and pushed until finally I was able to raise the dumbbells one last time to their apex.  Victorious, I sighed, relaxed, and returned the weights to their initial position (near my &lt;em&gt;21st digit&lt;/em&gt;).  However, it is here where everything went terribly wrong.  My extra pushing had left me in an exhausted state, and caused a sudden loss of situational awareness with regard to the control of my workout utensils.  Like a castrating, fem-nazi, pendulum of sterilization, my arms flailed OUT OF CONTROL leading the two 25 pounders on a hopeless collision course of death towards my &lt;em&gt;bilbo baggins&lt;/em&gt;.  I tried to stop it, but it was too late, and I watched in horror as roughly 500 lbs per square inch of pressure pinched down on the outward, most sensitive 1/4 inch of my &lt;em&gt;chief of staff.  &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Here is a list of things LESS PAINFUL than what I experienced:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;Child birth (ladies I DON'T EVEN WANT TO FUCKING HEAR IT)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;Being lit on fire during a shark attack&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;Getting skinned alive while listening to Abba cover Celine Dion songs&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;Calculus&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Here is a list of things MORE PAINFUL than what I experienced:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;Nothing&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Warning: the remainder of this Blog Entry is not for those who are faint of heart or have weak stomachs&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;Immediately upon sandwiching &lt;em&gt;danger the one eyed ranger;&lt;/em&gt; two little, salty tears appeared at the corners of my eyes.  Also at this point, I came to the realization that my life would never be the same.  The pain felt like I had been shot in the &lt;em&gt;Girthy McGirth&lt;/em&gt; by a jagged, bullet shaped, piece of lava.  I DROPPED the dumbbells and sat down on a bench, only to promptly stand up because sitting down made it worse.  Next, I began walking.  I'm not sure initially where I was going, but I knew I was headed there quickly (but not too quickly).  The men's locker room seemed like the logical destination for my panic-walk, but my loose fitting basketball shorts were making the journey far too painful.  As a result, I walked the  last 100 ft or so before the locker room holding my elastic waist strap out from my body to ensure no "rubbing."  In this position, with my &lt;em&gt;hanging chad&lt;/em&gt; more or less there for everyone to see (if they were close enough and looking down), I went into the locker room and headed straight for a bathroom stall.  Somehow in my panic I managed to grab my water bottle, and at this time (obviously due to my delirium) I figured it would be a good idea to douse my &lt;em&gt;Johnny Cockrane&lt;/em&gt; with ice-cold Aquafina.  Needless to say, that was a mistake.  There was a man in the stall next to me... and that man heard me cry.  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;I will spare you the rest of the details, but for enquiring minds: my &lt;em&gt;Longrod Von Hugenstein&lt;/em&gt; is swollen (not in a good way), purple (also not in a good way), and bleeding (yes, it broke the skin).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;Pray for me.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8549469758099388518-6088620651552200386?l=bobbyservations.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://bobbyservations.blogspot.com/2007/03/i-never-thought-id-envy-ken-doll-but.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Bobby Davidson)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>5</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8549469758099388518.post-3242374786324709635</guid><pubDate>Tue, 06 Mar 2007 19:06:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2007-03-06T18:51:27.460-05:00</atom:updated><title>Bobby Davidson 360....</title><description>In the news today:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Former White House aide Lewis "Scooter" Libby was found guilty on 4 of 5 counts in his Perjury and &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;BOBstruction&lt;/span&gt; of justice case today....&lt;/strong&gt;the 5&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;th&lt;/span&gt; count you ask??

As some of you more informed reader(s?) may know, last night, renowned THEOLOGIAN James Cameron (who brought us such religious ground breakers as &lt;em&gt;The Crucifier&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;The Crucifier 2: Judgement Day&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;The Crucifier 3: The Rise of the Jew&lt;/em&gt;, and &lt;em&gt;Titanic&lt;/em&gt;) premiered his documentary &lt;strong&gt;The Lost Tomb of Jesus&lt;/strong&gt; on the Discovery Channel &lt;a href="http://http//dsc.discovery.com/convergence/tomb/tomb.html"&gt;http://http://dsc.discovery.com/convergence/tomb/tomb.html&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The documentary insisted that there is roughly a 600 to 1 shot that the tomb and bone fragments that archaeologists have found is actually that of Jesus of Nazareth.  The documentary also claimed that housed in this tomb were the remnants of (gasp!).......HIS WIFE AND CHILD.  Of course (right on time) outrage ensued and hundreds of Christians covered their children's ears with books 7 &amp; 8 of the "Left Behind" series.  After all ears were safely covered, these Christians began to email dozens of death and bomb threats to The Discovery Channel's website claiming heresy at the possibility that Jesus had a family.  Let me repeat that...THE &lt;strong&gt;DISCOVERY CHANNEL&lt;/strong&gt; IS RECEIVING BOMB THREATS FROM CHRISTIANS (followers of the "Prince of PEACE").  To help you let that sink in, I will list the daily programing of the Discovery Chanel:  &lt;em&gt;Mythbusters&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;How it's made&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;Dirty Jobs&lt;/em&gt;, and &lt;em&gt;Survivorman&lt;/em&gt;. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In an official statement released yesterday, the Catholic Church is looking for physical evidence/proof of how this discovery = scientific explanations.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is it just me or is everyone missing the point...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;One&lt;/strong&gt;:  It is a fairly common perception that a man named Jesus of Galilee walked around on this earth at one time performing either miracles or really cool party tricks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Two&lt;/strong&gt;:  If he was flesh and blood, following his physical death there would be some sort of remains, or at the very least a final resting place. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Three&lt;/strong&gt;:  Proof of two ^ existing does not disprove his teachings. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Four&lt;/strong&gt;:  His teachings are what matters, not his personal life.  By arguing over the details of his 2000 year old carcass, aren't you forgetting what really matters ?  Example:  Love they neighbor as BOBposed to bomb all disbelieving neighbors.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Five&lt;/strong&gt;:  The woman in his tomb is not necessarily his wife, it could be his baby's momma. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Six&lt;/strong&gt;:  The bible was written roughly 8 generations after Jesus's death and cannot be considered 100% accurate (i.e., I can't tell my best friend a good drinking story without it getting misconstrued in the FIRST retelling). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Seven&lt;/strong&gt;:  If there are bone fragments, lets clone his ass!  Maybe that is how the "second coming" is supposed to happen.  (where were you on that one James Cameron?) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Eight:  &lt;/strong&gt;Who attacks the Discovery Channel?  Is the Catholic Church really targeting the one decent and educational station left on television?  The same station that ran a documentary disproving Dan Brown's &lt;em&gt;Da Vinci Code&lt;/em&gt;?  What is next, Catholics against NPR?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Finally&lt;/strong&gt;:  Since when is THE CHURCH into providing physical proof?  If you are ready to play that card Pope Benedict the XVI, why don't you just run a DNA test on the "body of Christ" you hand out at your daily masses and compare it to the bone fragments found in this tomb?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In BOBclusion I will say this:  I am both Catholic and a James Cameron fan; and when I think about this whole mess in a big picture format the only logical solution that comes to me is to enact the scenario out in movie form.  James, here are some possible titles:&lt;br /&gt;Tomb Raider 3 (Angelina finds a portal into heaven)&lt;br /&gt;Die &lt;em&gt;Really&lt;/em&gt; Hard&lt;br /&gt;NOAH'S ARC (prequel to Titanic, unrelated but a good idea)&lt;br /&gt;Alien vs. Predator vs. Terminator vs. Son of God&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;note* this blog entry was inspired by the discussion on the Ron and Fez show on XM channel 202&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8549469758099388518-3210834983467170767?l=bobbyservations.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://bobbyservations.blogspot.com/2007/03/tomb-of-jesus-found-or-was-it-just-his.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Bobby Davidson)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>5</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8549469758099388518.post-5365854894571624090</guid><pubDate>Fri, 02 Mar 2007 17:32:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2007-03-02T13:35:27.703-05:00</atom:updated><title>BOB Culture survey....</title><description>Attention all reader(s?), test your current Bob Culture knowledge by taking my quick and easy survey:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;1. Former Vice-President Al Gore was nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize because:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A. He "put climate change on the agenda"&lt;br /&gt;B. This is a well orchestrated attack on George Bush and Fox News by the Norwegian cell of Al &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;Quaeda&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;C. He is a prime example of how to &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;efficiently&lt;/span&gt; re-use/recycle old cardboard.&lt;br /&gt;D. This was an "off year" for hippies&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2. The funeral plans/court battle involving Anna Nicole Smith has finally been laid to rest this week. Anna Nicole was best known in her life for:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A. Having the world's largest vagina&lt;br /&gt;B. Having the world's richest vagina&lt;br /&gt;C. Having the world's largest vagina to tiniest brain ratio&lt;br /&gt;D. All of the above/she is not known to have achieved anything in her lifetime&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;3. Pop Star Brittney Spears has recently been reported to have shaved her head, gotten a &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;tattoo&lt;/span&gt;, and checked into rehab for a third time. This outlandish behavior is believed to be because:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A. She is having a hard time coping with her divorce from K-Fed&lt;br /&gt;B. After several months of sobering "responsibility" she decided to act out&lt;br /&gt;C. She was influenced by Paris Hilton&lt;br /&gt;D. She finally realized that she had no talent once she turned fat and ugly after her pregnancies and no one wanted to F*ck her anymore, so everyone stopped &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;lying&lt;/span&gt; to her about how great she is and how she has such a good voice.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;4. Which of the following &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;TV&lt;/span&gt; show "pitches" was actually ACCEPTED by MTV and appears on the channel on a regular basis: (pick more than one)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A. "Ghetto Kids" from the suburbs stand around in a circle and tell one line jokes that were invented in the early nineties by 12 year &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5"&gt;olds&lt;/span&gt;....for comic relief it will be hosted by the one guy on &lt;em&gt;That 70s Show&lt;/em&gt; WITHOUT acting talent.&lt;br /&gt;B. A spin off of three previous shows where we take the least interesting of all of the Jackass "characters" and watch him "run &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6"&gt;amok&lt;/span&gt;" as his even less interesting fiance tries to plan a wedding. The kicker? Every episode this character will come up with a zany scheme (written by our writing staff) that slowly transforms his fiance's dream day into a giant promotion for our station. Look out for cameos from his stroke victim uncle and morbidly obese family.&lt;br /&gt;C. We take an attractive teen, fill up a bus full of other attractive teens (sometimes of the opposite sex, but not always) and have teen 1 date everyone in the bus one at a time. The catch is that the selecting &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7"&gt;teen's&lt;/span&gt; ego will always prevail as he/she &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8"&gt;pre&lt;/span&gt;-judges all contestants based on their looks, ability to hula dance, and most importantly...whether they come off as a "&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9"&gt;playa&lt;/span&gt;." Watch self-esteem get decimated one 17 year old at a time.&lt;br /&gt;D. Music videos&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;answer key: &lt;em&gt;c/d/d/(all answers but d are acceptable)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8549469758099388518-5365854894571624090?l=bobbyservations.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://bobbyservations.blogspot.com/2007/03/bob-culture-survey.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Bobby Davidson)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>2</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8549469758099388518.post-6768592044921937478</guid><pubDate>Thu, 01 Mar 2007 16:58:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2007-03-01T12:36:37.019-05:00</atom:updated><title>F@ck it!  I like Fergie.....</title><description>I just want to start out by BOBserving that saying "I like Fergie" out loud feels really good, like I just had a slightly chubby, unattractive pop-star lifted off of my chest. The feeling I'm having right now is comparable (I'm sure) to admitting to a double homicide, or telling your gay uncle that you are straight; but not to be confused with admitting to liking Gwen Stephanie's solo stuff. I also want to point out that because I like Fergie, that does not mean I like &lt;em&gt;The Black Eyed Peas&lt;/em&gt; (as if that is in some way better). I only like Fergie's lumps and humps, and the fact that she was up in the gym working on her fitness....and her need to spell stuff out (T-A-S-T-E-Y).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The evolution of my Fergie admiration or "fergmiration" (as I call it), began with the song &lt;em&gt;My Humps. &lt;/em&gt;Back in those days I was a closet &lt;em&gt;Ferg Head&lt;/em&gt; who scoffed her in public and worshipped her in private...I was confused, troubled, and I would like to apologize to Fergie now for my behavior. &lt;em&gt;Dont Phunk with my Heart &lt;/em&gt;followed and so did my Fergenaissance, finally culminating in Fergielicousness.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For those of you who keep score at home, NO this does not make you cooler than me. While it is true that liking Fergie should constitute a drop in the points race, &lt;strong&gt;admitting&lt;/strong&gt; to liking Fergie actually cancels it out. If I admitted to liking &lt;em&gt;The Black Eyed Peas&lt;/em&gt;, THAT too would be a drop, unless I acknowledged that "Where is the Love" is for pussies. (its a complicated scoring process).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I will close with musicians that I am not ready to admit that I like yet:&lt;br /&gt;Nelly Furtado&lt;br /&gt;Bobby McFerrin&lt;br /&gt;Akon&lt;br /&gt;New Edition&lt;br /&gt;Howie Day&lt;br /&gt;Los Lobos&lt;br /&gt;All Clarinet Players&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8549469758099388518-6768592044921937478?l=bobbyservations.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://bobbyservations.blogspot.com/2007/03/fck-it-i-like-fergie.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Bobby Davidson)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>1</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8549469758099388518.post-169387987080737747</guid><pubDate>Wed, 28 Feb 2007 18:23:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2007-02-28T13:41:34.599-05:00</atom:updated><title>The time has come....</title><description>....to put myself into the virtual world.  This is my first post on &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;BOBservations&lt;/span&gt; (cleverly titled in a manner foreshadowing the theme of this blog) and the only thing I am &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;bobserving&lt;/span&gt; right now is that I suck at websites.  As some of my future readers will note, I refuse to partake in the "&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;myspace&lt;/span&gt;" or "&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;facebook&lt;/span&gt;" craze because of my fear that in the future we will all be rounded up and exterminated through these mediums.  My theory is that "announcements" (most likely started by mutants) will be passed on to you by any number of your ever growing list of friends.  These instructions will brainwash you and tell you to meet at X place at X time with your birth certificates.  When the country is in flames and all of you are in a single file line getting your new "brain chip" implanted, I will be safely trying to &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;IM&lt;/span&gt; you on AIM version 2.0.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5"&gt;Returning&lt;/span&gt; to the subject of my most recent entrance into the virtual world, one will note that I have a history of arriving very late to the modern technology party.  I did not start using a cell phone until my junior year of college (2004), and I hold the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6"&gt;dubious&lt;/span&gt; distinction of being the last person in a &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7"&gt;dorm&lt;/span&gt; room/frat house setting with an old school answering machine that had a cassette tape that had to be rewound.  That same year I discovered AIM (3 years after everybody else), and owned my very first PC (8 years after everyone else). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyways, for fear of appearing &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8"&gt;long winded&lt;/span&gt; on my very first blog entry (which could deter dozens of my possible future readers), I will end with the promise that I will update my "living &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9"&gt;scenario&lt;/span&gt;" in future blogs to inform long lost friends of my general well being.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;P.S. look for more exciting uses of the word BOB in such contexts as "&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10"&gt;BOBstotrician&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11"&gt;BOBservatory&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12"&gt;BOBlong&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13"&gt;BOBi&lt;/span&gt; one &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_14"&gt;KonoBOBi&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_15"&gt;BOBtuse&lt;/span&gt;, and &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_16"&gt;BOBsolete&lt;/span&gt;."&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8549469758099388518-169387987080737747?l=bobbyservations.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://bobbyservations.blogspot.com/2007/02/time-has-come.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Bobby Davidson)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>5</thr:total></item></channel></rss>
