			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I received this in an email. It might even be true.<br />
English teachers across the country submit their collections of actual analogies and metaphors found in high school essays. These excerpts are published annually, to the amusement of our teachers. Here are last year’s winners:</p>
<p>1. Her face was a perfect oval, like a circle that had its two sides gently compressed by a Thigh Master.</p>
<p>2. His thoughts tumbled in his head, making and breaking alliances like underpants in a dryer without Cling Free.</p>
<p>3. He spoke with the wisdom that can only come from experience, like a guy who went blind because he looked at a solar eclipse without one of those boxes with a pinhole in it and now goes around the country speaking at high schools about the dangers of looking at a solar eclipse without one of those boxes with a pinhole in it.</p>
<p>4. She grew on him like she was a colony of E. Coli, and he was room-temperature Canadian beef.</p>
<p>5. She had a deep, throaty, genuine laugh, like that sound a dog makes just before it throws up.</p>
<p>6. Her vocabulary was as bad as, like, whatever.</p>
<p>7. He was as tall as a six-foot, three-inch tree.</p>
<p>8. The revelation that his marriage of 30 years had disintegrated because of his wife’s infidelity came as a rude shock, like a surcharge at a formerly surcharge-free ATM machine.</p>
<p>12. Her hair glistened in the rain like a nose hair after a sneeze.</p>
<p>9. The little boat gently drifted across the pond exactly the way a bowling ball wouldn’t.</p>
<p>10. McBride fell 12 stories, hitting the pavement like a Hefty bag filled with vegetable soup.</p>
<p>11.  From the attic came an unearthly howl. The whole scene had an eerie, surreal quality, like when you’re on vacation in another city and Jeopardy comes on at 7:00 PM instead of 7:30.</p>
<p>13. Long separated by cruel fate, the star-crossed lovers raced across the grassy field toward each other like two freight trains, one having left Cleveland at 6:36 PM traveling at 55   mph, the other from Topeka at 4:19 PM at a speed of 35 mph.</p>
<p>14. They lived in a typical suburban neighborhood with picket fences that resembled Nancy Kerrigan’s teeth.</p>
<p>15. John and Mary had never met. They were like two hummingbirds who had also never met.</p>
<p>16. He fell for her like his heart was a mob informant, and she was the East River.</p>
<p>17. Even in his last years, Granddad had a mind like a steel trap, only one that had been left out so long, it had rusted shut.</p>
<p>18. Shots rang out as shots are wont to do.</p>
<p>19. The plan was simple, like my brother-in-law Phil. But unlike Phil, this plan just might work.</p>
<p>20. The young fighter had a hungry look, the kind you get from not eating for a while.</p>
<p>21. He was as lame as a duck. Not the metaphorical lame duck, either, but a real duck that was actually lame, maybe from stepping on a land mine or something.</p>
<p>22. The ballerina rose gracefully en pointe and extended one slender leg behind her, like a dog at a fire hydrant.</p>
<p>23. It was an American tradition, like fathers chasing kids around with power tools.</p>
<p>24. He was deeply in love. When she spoke, he thought he heard bells, as if she were a garbage truck backing up.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One of the best things about being retired is the ability to pretty much do what I want. One of the things I enjoy doing is playing video games. It&#8217;s actually cheap entertainment.</p>
<p>My favorite game right now is Tom Clancy&#8217;s Rainbow Six Vegas 2 &#8482;. I like it a lot more than the original RB6V (which I loved).</p>
<p>I like the fact that you still get points even if you lose a Terrorist Hunt.</p>
<p>I like the concept of the A.C.E.S. points.</p>
<p>I like the way you can drop into a game already in progress.</p>
<p>I wish they would have included a compass in the game to facilitate giving directions to your teammates.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re on Xbox Live, give me a shout.</p>
<p>Retired Geezer = RetiredGeezer_1</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&gt;Two of my grandkids from California visited us for three weeks this summer.<br />
We played a lot of <span style="font-style:italic;">RockBand</span> &#8482;, on the Xbox-360.</p>
<p>We got to be pretty good in the online competition. Out of 99,000 ranked bands, we placed in the top 100 on the Leaderboard with several songs. Two of the songs we played actually made it into the Top 20.</p>
<p>Since we are mostly from the Spud State, we call our band &#8220;Spudders&#8221;.</p>
<div style="text-align:center;">Yes&#8230; The Guys Get Shirts.*</div>
<div style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://blogidaho.biz/spudders3a.jpg"><img src="http://blogidaho.biz/spudders3a.jpg" alt="click for photo" width="467" height="350" border="1" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align:center;">(Click the picture to enlarge it.)</div>
<p>Three generations are represented here: Mrs. Geezer is standing with Donovan, Trish (my daughter) and Steve. I&#8217;m in the front row with Stevie.<br />
Everybody plays all the instruments but usually Mrs. Geezer and I sing or play Bass, Trish and Donovan trade Drum duties while Steve and Stevie are our Guitar players. Stevie is only 8 but she plays guitar on the <span style="font-style:italic;">Expert</span> level.<br />
Yes, I am the Weakest Link.</p>
<p>Steve took the group picture of us and<span style="font-style:italic;"> Photoshopped</span> it in front of one of the many pictures I have taken of the power poles by our house.</p>
<p>RockBand is a great game for families but some of the songs have PG-rated lyrics.</p>
<p>*The title of this post comes from the famous recording of <a href="http://www.noisetank.com/integrity/">Mr. Paul Anka reaming out his band and the stagehands.</a></p>
<p>Full Disclosure: I was Paul Anka&#8217;s Lightman on 3 separate road tours in the U.S. and Canada.</p>
<p>Update: I have to give <a href="http://innocentbystanders.net">Michael</a> credit for coming up with the name <a href="http://ace.new.mu.nu/filthy_stinking_spudders_--_michael">Spudders</a>.</p>
<p>UPDATE: Congratulations to Steve and Trish. They have completed the <span style="font-style:italic;">Endless Setlist</span>: <span style="font-weight:bold;">58 songs in a row without stopping</span>. They got Five Stars on every song. It took about 6 hours of playing.</p>
