Seeking bodyguard named Betty

I am a Paul Simon fan in my mid thirties. As my name is Al, for the past 20 years I've been searching for a friend named Betty with whom I could sing the Paul Simon song "You Can Call Me Al." Imagine how much fun we could have singing along with the lyrics and pointing at each other when our names are mentioned! We could sing it together on road trips with the windows down, at home with our stereos cracked loud, we can smile at each other knowingly when it's played in gas stations and grocery stores and text each other when we're apart and it comes on the radio. I'm especially looking forward to acting out our own version of the classic Paul Simon Chevy Chase music video. We can post it on Youtube!

Just to be clear, I'm not really looking for a bodyguard (that's a lyric from the song haha!) just a friend named Betty.

If you want we could maybe sing other Paul Simon songs at some point but I'd really rather we stick with our namesakes You Can Call Me Al. Of course I want proof your name is really Betty so when we meet I'll need to see a state issued photo ID with that name. I'll also accept Elizabeth, Roberta or Beatrix.

Please write back soon I can't wait to hang out
Sincerely
-Your long lost pal!!!

Just for kicks...

In honor of the Women's World Cup Championship today, I present to you my favorite picture of our anatomy models.  That's right, it's not a REAL foot.  It's plastic.  Look at me balancing a foot and ankle with only my index finger on the calcaneous.  I'm like a Harlem Globetrotter!

Just in case my World Cup reference was a little vague, let me sketch out my thought process for you:

  The world cup is a soccer game

I have an awesome picture of a foot

I've been wanting to find an excuse to post this foot picture for over a year!!

I'm going to log in to my blog and post my foot picture 

Hopefully that answered any questions... Cam Cam OUT!

A Night in the Octagon...

We finally scored some free tickets to a UFC fight at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.  It was quite possibly the coolest thing I've seen in a while.  (Well, except that we did see Mike Tyson walking around the strip the other day.  Seeing his ridiculous tattoo and hearing his voice was pretty awesome too.)

Try to focus here Cam...

So like I was saying, we scored free tickets to UFC 132: Urijah Faber vs. Dominick Cruz.  I don't follow UFC  religiously or anything but I knew who Urijah Faber was from his TV ads for the Ultimate UFC Workout video game for Xbox.  (trust me, all the ladies who have seen that commercial remember him too)  Unfortunately, Dominick defeated Cruz via unanimous decision.  What I find interesting is that Cruz received 40k and Faber received 32k.  But, Wanderlei Silva received a quarter of a million dollars and he was defeated by KO in 27 seconds in the first round by Chris Leben who only received 92k.  We actually got to see Wanderlei Silva a few hours later making a club appearance inside the MGM.  He's like a sharpei, so ugly he's cute.  Poor Tito Ortiz was paid a half a million dollars for the night.  Must be a rough life.  I had no idea there was that much money invested in UFC but I guess it would make since each of our tickets were over $300 and there were over 13,000 people in attendance that night.

While we are on the topic of UFC, let me mention the most amazing energy drink ever, Xyience.  It's the official energy drink of the UFC and contains all kinds of yummy vitamins and minerals.  I highly recommend Cherry Lime.  You can read more about their products on their website.
