Man, what a weird day around the house yesterday…

We awoke to the sound of a loud “thump”, which turned out to be Charlie hitting the carpet. Considering the size of our little poultry pal, it was hard to imagine he could make that much of a sound simply on contact with the floor. We thought he had finally suffered a heart attack or something, but turns out he had just fainted. What a drama queen…

Not sure what the fuss was all about, but things sure were chirpy around here for the rest of the day. I could swear Charlie was trying to tick us off with a bad ventriloquist act, but how he made it sound like three little chicks was beyond me.

After breakfast, Mrs. That Dan Guy and I tackled a major reconfiguration of our bonus room, which serves as our main TV/flop room. We’ve never been happy with it, ever since we first moved in. Too much going on in there.

The sacrifice was our beloved poker/bumper pool table, which was just too big to fit into the space. Now, when I watch poker on TV, I’ll have to use my lap, or a big coffee table book, to play along with the pros. And, as for my dream of a spot on the 2010 Olympic Bumper Pool Team – well, que sera sera…

The end result however, was a far more functional TV/flop room, which we instantly flopped in, to watch some TV. “Reign Over Me”, the recent Adam Sandler/Don Cheadle movie. Pretty good, if I do say so myself.

We also took in “Fast Food Nation” (both from Movie Central), a slam on the hamburger industry. With graphic footage of a meat processing plant, Mrs. That Dan Guy vowed NEVER to eat another hamburger. Which prompted Charlie to run for cover…

Chow for now!!

What, you meant she didn't have a craving for a nice juicy hamburger or better yet a hot dog at the end of the movie?

Didn't seem to curb my own meat appetite...
