I already know that I'm going to burn my hand reaching in the oven....
If I don't do it on the oven I will do it on my baked potato. How do I know this? Because I've been thinking for the last 40 minutes or so that I will absolutely be careful and not burn my hand tonight. The potato and my oven both have promised everything will be fine. But, much like Charlie Brown being lured by Lucy to try to kick that football one more time, I know I will screw up and burn myself. Why not put an oven mitt on or something of that nature? Because I'm foolish. It's going to happen. My stupidity astounds me. However, the fact that I think my oven and a potato were talking to me might be even more worrisome. :)

3. If I only had somebody to boss around to do so...
My little brother moved back to MT. Now I have nobody to do my dirty work. :)

2. You are just like me
I stick my hand into the oven, telling myself I will not shake and accidentally touch the hot rack, then end up doing just that. "But no one could have anticipated that their hand would get burned!"

6. Ah yes. I played this game for years.
The fact is that once out of every 100 times, the potato won't burn you. Sounds like you're still game.

9. dial up
Oh no! Make it Ferbey or Kurt Angle!

I was sitting at those boxing matches and saw a few overweight, middle-aged drunk guys yelling around and I figured your Curling God hero would have appreciated that. :)

10. you're not going to belive it!
But Ferbey shaved off his mustache and lost 20 pounds, the bugger! There was an article in the local paper last week about how the Ferbey 4 is getting ready for the new season; he looked damned good..

18. Practice sweeping your floor that should help out
(you're welcome Mrs. E.) :)

I started back up in the gym a week ago. Good lord I was so sore. For some reason, my bench press went down 20 pounds in one week though. I think it was just a fluke though, because I benched today and I hardly got any sleep last night. Must've just been tired or something. But, I already feel my muscles popping out all over me again. It really doesn't take long to feel it come back a little. I'm hoping to make a run for the Cruiserweight title on Smackdown right about the time you're earning your rep as the Mick Foley of Alberta Curling.

My uncle keeps trying to get me to golf. If it doesn't about half kill you I don't really compete in it though. I'd be like a shorter version of Happy Gilmore I think. I'd have made a decent hockey player if I was Canadian and a about a foot taller and 75 pounds heavier. Mainly I'd just try to fight I think.

12. So you're saying that you've collapsed your probability wave in advance?
The ramifications of this will reverberate through the halls of physics for a generation!
