theJEDMAN NATION-A New Wave Manifesto
Documenting the JED Experience

I'm really disappointed in the world. My KU Jayhawks are in the coveted Fort Worth Bowl and I can't find anyone dumb enough to drive down there for the game. I've never been to a bowl game. Actually, I've never thought of going to a bowl game, but this sounds like the perfect one to go to. Forget the Rose bowl with UT and SC. This is the Fort Worth Bowl. The KU Jayhawks and Houston Cougars are not necessary going to pact the house, so I should be able to get a ticket on game day easily. It is the last time I get to see the KU football Jayhawks until the spring game. There are no other KU sports to watch all winter long until the spring game. I always suffer all winter long with no important KU sports to follow.
This is a reflection of society. I have no responsibilities. I have time off. I have some extra money. It just sounds like a good idea to go to the game. Back in my twenties, I didn't have money or time off or a bowl bound KU football Jayhawk team to go to see. The KU Jayhawks did play in a couple of bowls back then, but they were both in Hawaii, which was not really a day's drive. When you are younger, you are more able and apt to take a road trip at the last minute without planning. I went to the Grand Canyon on a whim like that back then. I had to get a lot of people to cover for me at the Subway and I had to really do some creative financing to figure out if I had enough money to go. Plus, the ten days I was gone to the Grand Canyon, I didn't get a pay check. Now, I get paid every two weeks whether I'm on break or not.
Most people around 40 have too many responsiblities to do something dubious like go to the Fort Worth bowl at the last minute. I'm not one ot them. Maybe, I'll find a bus with a keg on it this week that is headed down to the coveted Fort Worth Bowl. It is a big important bowl game. This bowl could go bankrupt and not exist after this year. It might be my only chance. theJEDMAN

I went to the Other Place in downtown OP. It was awesome. I ordered a pizza. It took a long time and when they finally brought it to me they admitted that it was a little over cooked. They said that they would make me another one and give me a discount. I said ok. About an hour after I originally ordered. I got my pizza. Then, after I was done eating. the manager guy came and told me that he had taken care of the pizza. I got a free pizza basically. I only had to lose time. That was an excellent customer service strategy. They messed up and corrected it without me complainining. That is good customer service. I love the Other Place. theJEDMAN
Shakira was on SNL last night. She played two songs. She pines in the two songs. I've been waiting all my life for a woman that was into pining. Shakira is awesome. She is so pretty. She pines. It can't be too hard to get an opportunity to get an opportunity to be her boyfriend. I wonder how I can get that done. Shakira pines, Bon Chappell. She pines. theJEDMAN

I didn't have to go to work today, Thursday and I don't have to go tomorrow, Friday. There is a lot of snow and it is below zero outside. I watched a couple of movies, but one I rented kept skipping. The disc was all scratched up. It kept stopping. I'm mad at some corporate movie rental place for renting it to me. I know going corporate is bad, but there is no place else to go. I'm really going to let their customer service representative have it if I don't get my way manana. It might be good not to have to go to work in bad weather and it is, but now I have to work May 26 and May 27. I bet the weather is better on those two days.
I watched the MOTORCYCLE DIARIES. These two dudes were riding down and up South America in the 1950s. They helped some people on the way. It was pretty good. I liked it. Those guys were kind of idiots. They crashed that thing many times, until they couldn't crash it anymore. Then, you saw really poor sick people while dudes were partying across the river. I try to help people make good decisions that I have the chance to influence. They just have to do what I tell them to do. Then, they might have a better chance of being on the other side of the river. That is what is is all about making good decisions to get on the other side of the river.
Oh well, I did read some of a book. I'm reading about Tony Kiedis. I tell you it must have been fun in L.A. in the late 70s and early 80s. That is when Brentwood was roaming up and down Sunset Blvd. The problem is that was really stupid stuff that Tony was doing at the time, drugs, women, stealing stuff, living in your car, jumping off apartment buildings into pools. Just general being stupid was Tony's game. It must have been fun, but Tony is lucky that he is alive. I bet Brentwood's activities were less extreme, but she was probably just as fun then as she is now. Brentwood is awesome. Brentwood is the California girl. theJEDMAN

I like to go to the bar to watch some Sunday football. I like to go at around 1:30 to catch the end of the noon games. It is awesome to watch 10 games at once, but I do admit that I get a little confused at times. The only problem is that there are really only things to drink and eat that are bad for you. Beer, soda, and fried food seem to only be the options.
Having a couple of beers is fine, but the temptation is to drink more. I wish there were other options to drink. I wish the bar was like it is in Spain. All the bars have alcoholic beverages, plus coffees and some have the fresh juice machine. I'm not talking about a full foo foo starbucks menu. That is corporate hell. Starbucks has bad service. No refills on regular coffee. Bad interiors and they push high caffine on teenagers. They are pushers. They push caffine of little kids. They should be prosecuted. I just want a good cafe con leche.
The bars here call ice berg, fried chicken strips, a ton of mayo in a flour tortilla food that is good for you. You might as well slam the pork-T with velveta down your throat. I'd like to see some grilled zucchini on the menu with some black beans. Also, they could make some fruit drinks with fresh fruit. That would be good. You need to run some fruit through you colon with frequency. When are people going to stop smoking? Why do they do it? Why do they have to smoke in doors? I don't get it. Everything is bad for you, bad food, bad drinks, second hand smoke, tv watching large men smash each other with fiberglass helmets. All of this is bad. There is really no where else to go. That is the format of the sports bar. I think if I go with my idea. I've really got something.
I watched part of the Wizard of Oz the other night. Those munchkins with the lolly pops still freak me out. Oh yeah, my favorite bartender at my neighborhood place is working at Tanner's also. It was the first time I had seen her out of her orange and white uniform. She' pretty cute in regular cloths. She's a hard working girl. theJEDMAN

I say we forgo the purchasing of pitchered beer and buy for individual beers. I got the new Shakira CD, oral fixation vol. 2 in the mail. It is awesome. They sent me a big post of her also. There is a lot of nature on the poster. I love Shakira. She is the genuine artist of the people. She plays rock music about bad boyfriends who ignore her and chase other women. You can feel the longing, wanting and the desire of the urge in her lyrics. Plus, she is so beautiful. It is too bad that she sings about all of these experiences. I guess when you can only date the son of the president of Argentina there is a lot of longing, yearning and wanting to fulfill the urge. Security only allows her a limited life. I have to get to Bogota soon to break her free from the wrath of popularity that forbids her from achieving the life that she has yearned for. I have to get to Bogota today. theJEDMAN. I say we forgo the purchasing of six backs and buy individual 40s. theJEDMAN
I went ot the big KU American football game last Saturday against the ISU Cyclones. The Jayhawks crushed them in OT. Remember, KU basketball is just down time until the Jayhawks' Spring American Football Game. KU qualified for a bowl game. There are only about 500 bowl games to go to. They might play in Fort Worth, Texas. I'm there if that happens. Although, I've always dreamed of going to the Poulan Weed Eater Shreveport, Louisiana Independence Bowl. The party would definitely go down in Shreveport. theJEDMAN would tear up Shreveport. theJEDMAN

My fantasy football team in the Topflight league finally won a game. I'm now 1-10. This is the league that I went 12-1 in last year and also I won the league scoring title. My team is bad this year. I really wanted to go for a perfect winless season, but it was not to be. I could have really tanked it and lost, but I wanted to play it straight and start the best players I could get. Trent Green scored 10 over his season average to help theJEDHEADS to the win. It is really devestating for my opponent, because in this league you do not lose to theJEDHEADS. theJEDMAN

Writing about sports is so boring. I still watch sports and I attend games although not as many as I used to. KU basketball has started. It is not as good as it used to be. With a very few exceptions, Coach Roy used to get guys that would have probably been in college without basketball. Coach Bill has guys on the team that are only in college because of basketball. I don't think there is as much to cheer for. College basketball has turned too much into the NBA. All it is is post up and kick out. No movement and no cheap baskets because of ball movement. It is boring to watch. Plus, I learned a hard lesson in investing too much into team. The 95 Chiefs broke my spirit. I'm a passive fan I don't really care. I just hope it is a good competative game.
I was at some cheap bar in Olathe. There were a lot of young people there. You could see people walking in from the parking lot. These two cheesy looking women were walking in from the parking lot. I could see them coming. When they got inside, one of them has a can of bud light in her hand. I couldn't stop laughing. It was an ultimate white trash moment. theJEDMAN
I went to Hooter's the other night. I was talking to the Italian girl behind the bar. She has a lot of the qualities coveted by the superfiscial man. She was telling me that she had to work until close tonight. She said she would get home about 2AM. Then she had to come in for an employee meeting at 8am. Then she was to go church. She is a good wholesome girl. Then she had to go back and work from 4 to close and be there to open Monday morning. She is a soldier. She is a warrior. She has discpline and perserverance. Hard work made this county what it is. You think working at Hooter's is all glamour. Think again.
This reminded me of my days in the biz. I remember once at Applause Video, I worked from 4pm to 1am on a Saturday. Then I worked open to close on a Sunday which was 8am to 10:30. Then I had to open up on Monday. Many times at the Subway. I worked many days in a row and only went home to sleep. You can do that when you are young, but it damages you soul. theJEDMAN

November 6, 2005---- I didn't go to the Chiefs-Raiders game. It was out of my control. Well, I guess I could have bought my own ticket, but that would have ended my streak of freeloading. I looked up the history and I think the last time I missed one was in the 70s. I watched it at Tanner's. They got new TVs there. There are a bunch of weirdos at places like that. theJEDMAN
November 5, 2005---- I got to go to a party for the QUICK. It was in a compound. I had to go through a gate to get there. It was awesome. The QUICK is awesome. The party was for what theQUICK participated in. Everything associated with theQUICK gleams of class. It was way better than anything else I could have done this day. It is quite a privilege to see the QUICK on consecutive nights. They had nuts. theJEDMAN
November 5, 2005---I went to the big Jayhawk husking of the Cornhuskers. It was pretty good. There were trespassing violations. I know how they can curb the goal post destruction. All they have to do is have one guy by each post with a gun. He just has to shoot one person. That will stop it. Then, they leave the dead guy there until the next game to discourage this behavior. KU football is awesome. KU basketball is just something to pass the time between the fall football season and spring football practice. theJEDMAN
November 4, 2005-----I got to see theQUICK. He was coaching his American football team from T-Town in the JOCO. They didn't fair well tonight, but theQUICK is awesome. I also got to promote international relations. It was a full evening of humanitarianism for theJEDMAN

Don't even think about calling me on Wednesday nights at 8 pm central time. I'm watching the Apprentice, Martha Stewart.
I got a slushy drink at Sonic last week on my way to the south side of the metro. I took a few sips. Then, I had a horrible brain freeze. I had never felt pain like that. It was unbelievable. theJEDMAN

I'm having an unfortunate season in fantasy football. In the league I dominated last year, I'm now 0-8. I lost today because the Broncos ran another play when they were way ahead and the guy ran up the middle for a TD that they didn't need. All they had to do was take a knee. What is worse is that the Eagles made no attempt to stop him. What is still worse is that I picked up a back this week that I had had earlier in the season. I dumped him when I needed a kicker. I didn't start him this week and he scored 25 fantasy points. I'm an idiot. In my other league I'm 2-5. I should win this week. I'm way ahead and I still have a guy in the Monday night game. I have a lot of problems with that league. There is no incentive to pick up players. Plus, they make me keep two kickers, two TEs and two defenses all year long. If I drop a TE, I have to pick up one. I dislike this strategy and I feel that it is not a sporting way to play. theJEDMAN

I went to see the border war between the universities of Kansas and Missouri. Kansas crushed them. That is not important. Before the game, young college girls adorned with cereal malt beverages talked to theJEDMAN on the hill by the pre-game radio remote. Then, after the game young inebriated college girls demanded high fives from theJEDMAN on Mississippi Street near the famous 929 venue. What is important? theJEDMAN is still coveted by young college girls. theJEDMAN
I did some damage recently in the Grandview bars. It was nuts. Within one week, I hit the Elbow Bend and Bike Nites. They had pitchers. I don't think it is really a good policy for mature adults to drink pitchers, because you never remember how much you drank out of the pitcher and you don't really need to drink that much beer anyway. It is better just to buy individual beers and quit somewhere between 0 and 4. So, in the future, I think we should forgo the buying of pitchers for the buying of individual beers only. Elbow Bend is awesome. Bike Nites is awesome. I was part of an importand professional seminar there last week. Both of these clubs just might be too much fun to ever attend again. It would be difficult to recapture the magic of these week of damage in the Grandview Clubs. theJEDMAN
I really heard these. I'm not making them up.
"I'm down at Hooter's so much that people call down to Hooter's looking for me."
"I think I can get out of it because the cop asked me if I had been drinking beer. Well, everyone who knows me know that I only drink crown."
"I don't like labels. I mean, you say, see that guy. He's a punker. Well, how do you know he's not a poser?"
"What do you mean, you don't like Def Leppard?"
"Sometimes, we don't know how dumb you are?"
"There's been a lot of talk. Sometimes too much talk. This is not a rebel song. This is Sunday, Bloody Sunday."
"We've got to get extra movies in our customers hands."
"I want you CSRs out on the floor talking to customers. You don't make sales at the register. You make sales out on the floor."
"We've got plenty of things to sell. We got samsung video tapes. We've got candy bars. We've got a lot of things we can sell."

I got to see the QUCIK on Friday and Saturday night. It was a rare siting of the QUICK in the metro. Thank the power of american football. The QUICK is awesome. The QUICK named his dog Jedman.
Does anyone ever buy those jello molds in the store. I hate Jello. I hate it when they put the fruit in the jello molds. I hate anyone that likes jello. Jello is gross. There is a reason why they use jello for the guts of the skeleton on Halloween. theJEDMAN

The Barcelona Bad Boy was here most of September. We hung out. He is still the same. We got a little carried away a couple of times. On his last night here, we did go to Bobby Baker's. I'd had never been there before. That place is awesome. Man if I didn't think I would probably die after a couple of hours as a loung lizard, I would go there all the time. The thing about it is it is a lounge. The bar stools are awesome.

For the first time since Thanksgiving weekend 1986, I did not attend the regular season NFL football game in my city. My ticket was somehow taken away. I've been freeloading all this time and I guess my streak of almost 20 years has come to an end. I watched the game at home by myself. I feel like my hamstring was cut on the bottom just above my knee. I can't plant and cut anymore. I feel like I quit the game. I'll get over it. Plus, the section wear my old seat was won the free pizza this week. theJEDMAN

I went in on some tickets to the Jayhawk Football 05, because basketball season is just to pass the time until Jayhawk spring football practice starts. As part of the package, I have two youth tickets to every game. I don't like to be around youths, so I've been giving the tickets away for free to people with youths. I was doing that on Saturday some official KU guy came up to me and called me a scalper. I kept telling him that I was giving the tickets away. He still called me a scalper and told me to get lost. It hurt my feelings. I'm not a scalper. I was trying to do a random act of kindness. This guy was promoting bad customer service policy. On the ticket is says that tickets cannot be resold for higher than face value. A sign by the stadium said that tickets cannot be for resale. I was not selling. I was giving. KU has really gotten full of itself. They keep upsetting all the fans. theJEDMAN

-I got to hang with Manino last weekend. Manino is awesome. Manino ate baby backs. Manino offered to host theJEDMAN for every Sunday this year to watch NFL on his big TV.
-I've been to the Other Place a few times to get some pizza. For some reason when you order, they want you to give your name. In those situations I always use Steve because no one really understands the name JEDMAN when I say it, plus I need anonimity or my fans will mob me. Anyway, when I go in there now, the girl calls me Steve. She thinks my name is Steve. I've fooled her.
-I really need to find something to do. I think I should start fishing with the guys. I just have to find some guys to fish with. I'll have to figure out how to do that.

Well, I can't stand Britney Spears anymore. I think she was a lot smarter when she was 17. It is unreal how dumb she is. I think most celebrities started out as freaks of mental nature, but some like Britney turn into freaks of mental nature as they get more famous. Everytime I see her on TV, I can only stand about 2 seconds of it. It is really painful. theJEDMAN

This is the California report. It will take me awhile to write this so check back to see if there is more.
I went to California this July. My host family was Brent Wood and Luther. They were excellent hosts. They toured me and drove me around. Everyday was jam packed with non-stop activities of fun. Here are the highlights.
-Luther and I bought a cot at a high tech camping store. Then, we carried on the subway and ate some Japanese food. We then took it on the subway. It was in a big box so we could smash people that messed with us. This cot turned out to be a good buy. I slept on it the almost the whole time. It was comfortable and easy on my back.
- I made pickle snacks and they were good pickle snacks. Pickle snacks are easy to make. Put pickles on plate and serve.
-We rode boats. We rode the ferry from Oakland to SF several times. Then, we road a big bay cruiser with a bunch of italianos. I like boats. Boats are good. When you make it in the world you have boats. I guess I haven't made it yet. I don't even have boat.
-Brent Wood, Luther and I ate crab sandwiches in the shadow of the bay bridge with a nice leafy green salad. The crab was on good bread. Leafy green lettuce is good.
-We went to Yosemite. We rode bikes through the park. I grilled potatoes, corn, tofu dogs and pork and beans in the shadows of El Capitan. I dropped some of the food on the fire, but I served it to Brent Wood and Luther anyway.
-We went to the glacier hill in the park. We walked up farther. I was trapped by a bunch of crazys from Cincinnati. I was forced to take their picture.
-On the last day, Brent Wood came up with the quote of the trip. Brent Wood said to me, "Sometimes, we don't know how dumb you are."
-I ate a lot of fake meat. It was good sometimes and not so good other times, but I tell you that fake meat really goes through you. I liked that part of it.
-I biked the bridge. Brent Wood and Luther took their bikes over on the boat and I rented a bike. We road all along the water from the ball park to Marin county. It was fun. There were a lot of beautifulers on the trail. I destroyed the field, but I'm a strong rider.
-I learned a lot. I didn't know that actual Russians were in Northern California looking for otter pelts.
-I learned that you can make fake meat out of wheat.
-Brent Wood, Luther and I canoed the Russian River. We camped between the river and the highway and paddled 10 miles down the river. We crashed into trees, bushes and rocks, but we didn't turn the canoe over. We were awesome. It was fun.
-I drank two Jamba Juices in Berkeley. We also broke into the football stadium and took over crushing a cheerleading camp. I love Berkeley. I bought three Cal Berkeley T-shirts. I should go to grad school there.
-I got to see both live and dead fish in Chinatown and on Clement Street. I like fish.
-We ate omelets in Oakland.
-We hit all the neighborhoods. We hit Russian Hill, Castro, Mision, North Beach, Pacific Heights, Chinatown, Japan Town, Marina, Warf, etc. It was fun.
-I saw some really big dudes drinking really pink fluffy corporate coffee drinks with no sole on the street in the Castro. I tell you that corporate coffee with no sole is quite the racket.
-We rode the Bart to the Haight. I had to go so bad when we got there that I was able to use a portable unit outside the house of some beautifulers on the hill by the park near the Haight. Good thing they were doing construction.
-I decided that Pinot Noir is my favorite wine. I really like it. I think the good bottles start at $4.99. I'm a big Pinot fan.
-I ate a huge burrito in the Mision. It was awesome. Burritos are good.
-We went to the Coppola Wine place in the Napa Valley. There were beautifulers there. It was great.

I got the new Shakira CD. It is pretty good. It is not as guitar rocking as her last couple of CDs, but it is good. I like Shakira. She is not just some hot pop princess. She actually writes and produces all of her stuff. She's in total control. Plus, she writes a lot of songs about broken love. She writes about rage and fury. Shakira speaks of the despair pain that one can feel when another destroys the love. Shakira speaks on the longing for the love to return, but it never does and lonliness is the only friend left. Somtetimes the longing is better thant the real thing. I love the longing. The torture and the pain is the only thing that remains. It is great. They're are pretty good. They are interesting. When you lose a love, sometimes you just feel so worthless. Sometimes you feel relieved. It is interesting, because not everything is really happy all the time. People get screwed over in the end sometimes too. Happiness is in you mind. Happiness is not necessarily a result of who is physically present. theJEDMAN

I saw Lords of Dogtown the first time you could see it. It was awesome. it was about the dudes that started extreme skateboarding in Santa Monica. They skated in empty swimming pools because the drought in SOCAL. I love Santa Monica. I bet Brentwood missed the whole revolution. It reminded me of my first and only skateboard that I probably got in 1977. I got a CAL-240. It was awesome. I used to ride it down the hill in front of my house. I used to race Barney. Barney used to get is a down position. He looked stupid. Then, years later. It must have been 1985. I was an adult. There were this punk kids in the nieghborhood that had these big boards. They laughed at my skinny CAL-240. I raced this punk down the hill. The punk got scared and bailed and I beat him on my skinny CAL-240. I was awesome. I'm the JEDMAN. OUT!

In the JOCO, I see these women walking with these camal backs drinking systems. A camal back is like a backpack with a plastic water bladder. It has a tube that you can suck the water into your mouth leaving your hands free. They are designed for long distance bikers, hikers and runners. They are probably around $30-$50. I don't really think they are necessary for a 30 minute walk through the burbs, but you make the call. theJEDMAN

PALISADES GIRL- Once in the dawning of 1980, Palisades girl took her covertable Mercedes Benz over to Fairfax High School. Palisades Girl started dating the wonder boy, Tony. They probably did some illegal stuff. They drove that Mercedes Benz all over West L.A. doing illegal stuff. Tony loved Palisades Girl. Tony loved her a lot, but Palisades Girl also loved a boy named Flea. She loved both of them so much that she coulnd't decide which one to pick. The real problem was that Tony and Flea were friends. They were good friends. They were musicians. They were the future kings of rock funk, not funk rock. Palisades Girl continued to date both Flea and Tony. Palisades Girl continued to do illegal stuff with both Flea and Tony. Neither Flea nor Tony knew that they were dating the same Palisades Girl. What was Palisades Girl to do?
Then, one night, Flea and Tony had a gig with their band. They both invited Palisades Girl the show. Palisades Girl went to the Whisky to see Flea and Tony play. Palisades girl also went to do illegal stuff. Palisades Girl was under 21. She was illegal to go to the show, but the author does not know the legal drinking age in West L.A. in 1980. So, the author is assuming Palisades Girl was doing illegal stuff. At the show, Palisades Girl saw Flea. Palisades Girl saw Tony. Palisades Girl could not hide her shame anymore. She did not want to hurt Flea, Tony nor the band. So she left before the encore and took off with the roadie from the band. His name was Moth Ball. Palisades Girl left with Moth Ball in the covertible Mercedes Benz. Tony and Flea were really upset that Palisades girl had midguided them over, but Flea and Tony were upset that they had to pack up all the gear. Palisades Girl and Moth Ball left West L.A. and went north. They went north to Cal-Berkeley to go to school. They did plenty of illegal stuff and they lived happily ever after, at least until Midwest boy came into play and ruined everyone's life forever, but at least the future kings of rock funk, not funk rock were spared. theJEDMAN

I don't want the blog to turn into a sports thing, but I have to comment on the J.R. situation. J.R. should be kicked off the Jayhawk's round ball team. He attended a club that was on the list of places not to go to by the athletic department. He should not be allowed to play basketball anymore at the Universtiy of Kansas, but the University should honor his scholarship. J.R. will probably leave the University in that situation. He'll play ball in Kuiwait before he stays at KU with no basketball. Plus, he hasn't lived up to his hype. He can't shoot, drive or play defense. Let him leave to the NBA. Let's see if he makes it. My guess is that he'll be playing in Kuiwait next fall.
I don't know what happened, but it is my guess that someone messed with him and he stuck around too long and then some stuff got out of hand to the point when J.R. got knifed in the parking lot of the Moon Bar. My guess is that J.R. should have left a long time before the incident. Only bad things can happen when you are out past midnight. J.R. has should have realized that he is high profile. He's on TV. Everyone on TV is high profile. He doesn't have the same free life like Bon Chappell and me.
It is stupid to get into a fight. I tell my clients all the time that you can't fight. Fighting is wrong. When you fight, you allow someone else to control your behavior. It is so much better to walk away. I feel that you upset the opponent more if you walk away. I hate that revenge mentality that people have. It is dumb. Just leave. J.R. should have left the bar.
Speaking of the Moon Bar. It used to be the Village Inn. Back in my day in Lawrence, theSplinter, Scorteez and I used to frecuent that place late at night for a 2000 calorie death meal of eggs, gravy, bacon, chicken fried steak and pancakes. Those were the days. theJEDMAN

I've been playing good disc golf lately. I've increased the distance off the tee. I'm getting good. My short game is really not too bad. I've made several two's lately on shorter holes in Olathe. That is a good course. I like it. On 11, I chucked that thing all the way to the pin. I just had to drop it in for a deuce. I also deuced number 16 twice.
So, just when I think I'm playing good, I go play another course. I played Wyco last week. That is a long course. Most holes are Olathe are 200-500 feet. Wyco had a 700 foot hole. I threw that thing twice and I still couldn't see the pin. It has a lot of open field. the grass was really high. I couldn't find my disc sometimes. It was windy. The wind knocked my throws right out of the sky. I was terrible. I almost quit the game, but I continued and by continuing. I learned to love myself. Learning to love myself is the greatest love of all. theJEDMAN

It has taken me awhile to get this posted, but I attended the Hooter's swimsuit competition. I heard about it on the radio and I saw them putting up the tent in the parking lot, so I had to go because I figured it would be a goldmine of blog material. It was dumb. There were a lot of people there. Some people seemed like they were taking it a bit too seriously. Basically what happened was the girls waked the cat walk about three or four times and they eliminated girls each time. They gave bios like, "She can't resist green m&m's and loves to lay out with friends in her spare time." Then, they each had to tell their favorite Hooter's moment. "Meeting people" was a popular response although the crowd didn't really listen when the girls talked. The two cheesy looking rubias got the most HOOTS from the crowd. One of them had some work done. She was way out of proportion. Eventually, they got down to the end. One of the prettiest girls won. The winner was a biology major/pre-med and she also worked in the cancer unit at the hospital. It almost made me hope for a little curable cancer just to have her work to save me. The winner got $500 and a trip to Miami to compete for Miss Hooter International. It was just good clean fun.
My favorite bartender was there. Thank the world. She is a model of efficiency. I've been in there other times and the bartender doesn't keep the bar clean. Glasses sit there after people leave. Ashh trays are never emptied. The ketchup top gets crusty. Not when my favorite bartender is there, No.
I walked down there. On the way home after the contest I was walking and I hit some dirt that I knew was there, but then I took another step and I sank ankle deep into mud. It caked on to my new walking shoes. The more steps I took the more I sank it. I guess that was my punishment for attending an event that exploits women. theJEDMAN

I got a lot of clients that like juice bags. I borrowed someone's Costco card to get some reduced price juice bags. I dont' know if it is Costco or Cosco. I'm not willing to do the research to find out. It was a warm sunny day. I went in the store. I made it passed the first line of security. I got my box of 40 juice bags and arrived at the check out aisle. The checker looked at the picture on the card. It was not me. I was busted. Managers came from all over the sotre. They were not going to let me have my juice bags. I told them that I was going to start screaming like a mad fool if I didn't get my juice bags. This got their attention. But, they still took me into the employee break room and took my picture and plastered it up all over the place. I am not allowed to enter Costco again. I'm banned from the Costco forever. I see this as a positive. theJEDMAN

It has taken a long time, but I have figured out the maximum amount of beer to drink in one sitting. I have researched and researched this figure for many years. I think Bon Chappell can back me up on my extensive research. The magic perfect maximum figure is 28 oz. Drinking any more is too much. 28 oz. gives the perfect amount of relaxation without turning one into a yeahoo. 28 oz. doesn't make you feel bad. 28 oz. doesn't make you tired 28 oz. doesn't dry you out. No one should drink more than 28 oz. in one sitting. I have surpassed the magical 28 oz. figure many times. I think Bon Chappell can back me up on that one as well. It the same day you can probably have two sittings with separate 28 oz intakes, but there needs to be time between the two sittings. Hours of time. However, plan on being a tubber if you have multiple sittings everyday.
The only problem is quiting at 28 oz. You get to that figure and you think you can have one more, then one more becomes two more. It is tough to quit. You know you should quit, but you stay out there. You have to have a taste without total indulgement. This is tough. l was always praised for eating a lot ast a kid and I turned into a porker. I'm a porker. I have trouble out running my deamons as a porker. Lately i've done a good job at ending my porker days. I eat beans intstead of the chicken fried steak. I'm less of a porker now than I was when I drank beers and ate and ate food food. Sometimes now t he deamons come back. The DEAMONS. theJEDMAN

Well, I attended a power alternative pop rock chick show tonight. I saw Sarah Mclachlan at the big arena. It was pretty good. I like girls that sing good that I would want to have lunch with. Ms. Sarah played all the songs to keep the pop kids happy, like me. This was another good showing of my support for Canadian Power Trios. I was the Rush twice and The Triumph once. I saw a couple of Bryan Adams Videos and Helen Ready and Alanis Morrisette scared me. Neil Young and I actually had and still have 2 Loverboy albums. theJEDMAN supports Canadian Power Trios. theJEDMAN is an athletic supporter. Sarah Mclachlan is just one person you say. Well, you take any three persons in her band and that is a trio.
Rock shows are kind of expensive, but they are fun. I like the live music played by professional musicians that write the stuff. Nothing is more boring than a bar cover band. The Red Zone used to bore me to tears. I don't spend money on video games so, I figure I can go to a couple or arena rock shows a year. Plus, I like to travel. I'm into experiences, not possessions. Experiences turn us into the people that we are. Have you ever been to someone's house where they spend a lot of time talking about things they have. I have. It is unfortunate, but I guess that not everyone can be responsibility free like me. There were probably 6,000 well-behaved fans in the arena for this rock show. I like these medium size shows. It makes it easy to get a drink and really easy to go to the bathroom. Parking is cheaper. It is awesome.
It wouldn't be pop rock star blog without a commentary on security. Ms. Mclachlan or the future Mrs. Jedman as I like to think of her is married to some guy in the band. That is very convenient. Sarah is locked into this world where she has been misguided by a security force that keeps her form meeting men like theJEDMAN. She ends up settling rather than finding true love. Anyone can date someone in the band. I could date in the band. Ms. Sarah deserves and shall have so much more than just some doofus in the band. She shall have lunch with theJEDMAN.
There was an opening act. The Perishers. I think they shoud rethink that name. Wise guys like me are having field day with that one. Gee, I wished the Perishers would have perished before they got on stage. After hearing the Perisher's new record, I wished they would have perished before the last one. I hope the Perishers perish before there is another tour. See ya!
Then, the car lights got left on and I we caught a ride back to Raytown with Terry. I was in Raytown after midnight. Raytowna after midnight. Raytown after midnight looking for a fight. I was in Raytown after midnight. theJEDMAN

There is this show on MTV that has people doing plastic surgery to look like their favorite celebrity. Usually the people are young and do not have the qualities coveted by the superficial man. The people are kind of crazy and don't end up looking any better after surgery. On the latest one, I saw this really nice looking woman. She was young, but you couldn't tell until she talked. I never can tell the age until the person talks. So it wasn't really this girl's fault. This chick wanted to look like that Spears girl. She got pumped up up top and got some fat put into her face and some stuff sucked out of there and over there. $25,000 later, she looked like a freak. She looked fine before, but now she had these big balloons protruding out of her chest and got made up and highlighted up into looking like a freak. It was great. Then, she wants to be an exotic dancer and get into the Playboy mansion. Great!. Now you would think that the superficial man would love this show, but I found it kind of disturbing. I felt bad enough looking at early 20 year old girls on TV, but then to have her destroy herself in the name of that Spears girl was too much for me to handle. I lost some faith in humanity and I'm still upset that the Spears girl never graduated high school. theJEDMAN
I went to take care of my parking ticket. When I was leaving the drop off place. This Volvo pulls up behind me. The car was kind of close and it would be a tight fit to back out of my space. There were lots of open spaces there. I motioned to the guy to move, but the person just sat there drinking a soda. I got out of the car and motioned but the freak just sat there. I finally got tired of waiting and I just backed carefully out trying to avoid the car. I drove past the freak and he just kept setting there. They stayed there for a long time as I drove away. It was weird. theJEDMAN
There are three Subways close to where I work. Everything else is a fried food hell. So, I go to the Subway 1 or 2 times a week. Subway is ending the Sub Club Cards. What customer loyalty can I demonstrate now? I sacrificed for the organization and now I get nothing free. I know why they did it because the employees steal those stamps and give them to their friends. I'm being penalized again, just like with Shakira's security force is penalizing her from true love with theJEDMAN. When will the madness end? I think I might have to go to Bridgeport, Connecticut to have a word with Mr. Deluca. Maybe he can get me a lunch date with Shakira over a meatball sub. Then true love can begin for her. theJEDMAN

I was terrible out there. I played the Rosedale course. It was windy. The wind was knocking my discs out of the air. I could have quit, but I didn't. I could have threw in the towel, but I didn't. I enabled myself to continue. I 2 stroked the 5th hole. That was pretty good. I persevered. I was in control of my destiny. I didn't quit. I empowered myself to succeed. I felt really good about myself. I was out there in the park on the course by myself and I really felt good about my accomplishment. Because by learning to love my play on the course, I learned to love myself. Loving yourself is "the greatest LOVE of all." Next week, when I chuck another disc into the trees and can't find it. I'll have to learn to love myself all over again.
I followed these guys to the pin on the 3rd hole. You have to walk back to the tee at 3 to get to 4. When I got to the pin it smelled like they had blazed up. One of them was a long hair. "Dope smoking morons. Don't make me yawn." theJEDMAN
I was watching my Shakira Concert DVD. It has this part on it where Shakira is kissing some guy. The worst part about it is the guy is not me. She was kissing some dark long haired scruffy bearded Latin heartthrob guy. She can get that anywhere. Where can she get the theJEDMAN? Right here in the Midwest. I probably look pretty exotic to her. The problem with the world is security. Shakira is a pop superstar. The way the world is today Shakira is required to have too much security. This is keeping her from achieving the true love that she needs and deserves from theJEDMAN

I rode my bike 15 miles today and I played disc golf. I was really bad out there at Prairie Center, but I nailed two long puts to get a 2 on two of the holes. On 10, I jacked it in from about 70 feet. It was a great throw. It was luck, but it takes an athlete to get it there to have a chance. I 2 threw that hole. On 12, I nailed another long put this one from 80-90 feet. It was luck again. I hook that sucker in there with my XL driver. It was a good throw. I 2 threw that hole. I'm awesome. I'm theJEDMAN
My bartender was not at my Hooter's on Saturday. It was devastating. I had not been there for awhile. I hope she hasn't ended her term of employment. I might not be able to go there anymore. Plus, some doofus was taking up the good seat next to the beer taps at the bar. That is where the server station is. That is the best place to sit. All the servers have to pick up stuff there at some point in the evening. It is the bar stool coveted by the superficial man. Speaking of the superficial Man. I don't want to get a bad rap for this. There are many kinds of man. There is the intellectual man. There is the sporting man. There is the sensitive man. There is the caring man. There is the respectful man. The is the super buffet connoisseur man.There is the subconscious man. I've been all of these at one time or another in my life. I cannot exist being only the superficial man. It is only a small part of theJEDMAN. It cannot be all encompassing. Things or ideas that are solely superficial bore theJEDMAN in a very short time. Superficial things are not lasting. Superficial things are shallow and lack depth. theJEDMAN needs depth to live. Give theJEDMAN depth! I'll die in the shallow end. Push me out to the deep ocean. It is just that superficial things are good blog material. Mocking superficial things are what my blog fans want and deserve. We are not curing cancer. We are not fixing bad heart rythmn problems. We are only providing social commentary on societal mores. Sometimes when I have a superficial man momment I feel gross and disgusted with myself.
Now for some important blog writing.I've been watching some bad TV lately. I'm into these reality shows. I'm giving my take on them.
*Bachelor-This show is way better than the bachelorette. The women they get on this show are pretty good for the superficial man. They fight, yell at each other and some of them are unstable. They take off their dresses to win the dude. The dudes they get on the bachelorette are too normal, but I guess that they can't put scary dudes on there for the bachelorette. The women get so upset when they get eliminated. It seems that they don't understand anything about odds. They start with 25 girls. There can only be one winner. That is a 4% percent chance of being the winner. Plus, how many swimsuit models from Edmonton, Alberta can there be in the world? They have two on the show. I should be on this show. I'd be good quality TV.
*Amazing Race-You know I've never watched this one before until the recent incarnation. I guess this is the 7th one they have had. This is pretty good. You get to see the places they go pretty good. The last show that had was in India. It was interesting. This show is a little tedious seeing the same people run from place to place over and over. The only problem here is the two of the partner teams on the show that were coveted by the superficial man were eliminated on the first few epidodes. How is the superficial man supposed to keep watching? How is the superficial man supposed to stay interested if the two rubia teams are gone? There is a group of senior citizens left and a couple of alternative guys. Both groups are kind of annoying. I mean I'm not against them. People can do and be whatever they want as long as they are not annoying.
*Next Top Model-You would think the superficial would be watching this one, but not this superficial man. They don't do stunts jor feats of strength. No reason to watch. Sports Illustrated swimsuit model search did stunts and feats of strength. That made it good.
*Fear Factor-I'm convinced that the contestants have to submit full body glossy photos for this one. I like the stunts, but not the gross stuff. I really don't see this one very much.
*American Idol-I hate it. I refuse to watch it. It is unfortunate.
*Apprentice-I like this one, but the latest edition has eliminated all contestants coveted by the superficial man. There is one semi-cute woman left, but she has a name that I don't like. I would break up with her just because of her name which is a purely superficial reason.
*Chasing Farrah-This is pretty good. I think Farrah has gotten a bad rap. She's not too dumb, but I think she is victim of her fame I think fame turns most people into freaks. How could she not be some sort of freak when one of her fans gets her to autograph is arm and he goes and gets it permanently tattooed. I think being famous means that one stupid thing you do gets played on TV over and over. Farrah doesn't look too bad. She is 59 years olds. She' a little hagy, but she's alright. Jaclyn Smith and Cheyl Ladd probably have aged better, but all three of them have qualities coveted by the superficial man. Plus, Farrah was with the Six Million Dollar Man. Six Million Baby! I watched the show they shot at her parents home right before her mother died. It was touching. I had a tear in my eye.
*Nick and Jessica are done, so they have this tattooed freak on the MTV with this hot rubia. I have no idea who these people are, but I can't stand looking at tattoo dude. Plus, they have kids together. So, I won't be TIVOing that one. It freaks me out too much. I don't really have TIVO anyway.
*Desperate Housewives-I know it is not reality, but it is pretty good for the superficial man. If a place like that really existed, boys from all over the city would be infiltrating that neighborhood looking and fighting to do all kinds of landscaping at the homes of those women.
*Contender-It's ok. I like the stunts they do. I hate the intimate family scenes. I'm just not a big enough boxing fan to watch.
OUT! theJEDMAN

I'm going to talk about sports again even though this may be kind of boring. Coach Roy won the title. I was hoping he would win to shut up all the Jayhawk fans that are still crying about him leaving and being a traitor. His big win hasn't seemed to work. Coach Roy gave you 15 years of top 10 basketball to the Jayhawks. There was never an 17-11 season in there. 25 wins a year was the norm. He ended the competitive rivalry with KSU. At the time when KU and KSU played in the regional final in 1988, they had similar basketball histories. KU might have had more, but KSU was not too far behind. Coach Roy killed the rivalry by never losing to them.
Sure Larry Brown won the title in 1988. He is a great coach. He had probably one of the greatest college players of all time on his team. The rest of the team were nice players and they played way over their heads to win that championship. The point being here is that KU could have easily gone downhill at the time when Coach Roy came. He won imedialty with a bunch of nice players. I don't think anyone until Sexy Rexy Walters played in the NBA from Coach Roy's teams. There was a 30 win season Roy's second year there. Coach Roy gave KU fans great basketball.
Coach Roy is a good guy. Is he not supposed to leave after 15 years of excellence in one place? 15 years is a long time to Coach or even hold the same job anywhere. Is Coach Roy not supposed to take a phone call from a former player if he receives one? It is his duty as an educator to do this. Coach Roy had family in Carolina and family issues that may have warranted him to go back. Is he not allowed to do this? Many people would do what Coach Roy did. I feel that KU fans should be celebrating what Coach Roy has done and did at KU, not saying bad things about him.
I'm writing this and I don't even really like basketball that much anymore. I don't like the way the game is played. Sure, I watch the games, but not all the time. The players just stand around and shoot three pointers or they steamroll someone in the post. No one moves anymore away from the ball. No one has a mid-range game. No one has any good post moves anymore. The game bores me. The college game has more or less turned in the NBA. The only reason to watch is to see the last two minutes of close game. I'm out. theJEDMAN

I got to watch the final four on a big TV. After the games, I got to go clubbing. I' hadn't been clubbing for a long time. I got to experience FUEL. FUEL is a club in the South Creek City Urban Core. It is dangerous. FUEL has an auto racing theme, even though there is not much auto racing stuff there. They have some car rims and a car hood on the ceiling. They got a lot of TV's. One of which played motorcycle stunts ove and over. FUEL had really loud heay metal music playing the whole time. It was loud. You had to scream at people to talk to them. But, the real deal with FUEL is the servers. The servers are all little girls with little shirts and little pants. About every 15 minutes or so the servers get up on the bar and dance. Women from the clients are allowed to get up on the bar and dance as well. This is a pretty good sight for the superficial man. One of the servers was heavily tattooed all over her back. I wondered what will happened to her when she gets old and wrinkled. You won't be able to see the tattoo. It will look like a big distorted skin cancer splotch. There were a lot of women in there. There were a lot of tattoos and dangling jewelry on the mid-section. I've never been a fan of mid-section hard wear, especially hard wear that dangles. Dangling mid-section wear is not classy in the world of theJEDMAN. I tell you the tops on girls keep getting smaller and smaller. I don't remember it being that way back in my formative years in the 1980s. With this kind of fashion trend, the superficial man will live on. The part of the brain that is the superficial man will always be entertained. We'll see how different it is in about six months from now on my next clubbing adventure. Now let's measure FUEL on the skank-o-meter. I give FUEL a 7. out of 10. For the score to be higher the entertainment needs to get more trashy and I need to feel threats to my physical well-being.
I should be getting an expense account to do this. I could go around and review clubbing venues. It would be great. People would be really trying to make my experience in their club great. I would get free meals and free drinks, because theJEDMAN is the voice of reason in the metro area. I have qualifications for this. I have social science degrees. I am educated man with powerful insights that can make or break hot spots. I can build a club up into a financial empire or I can crush a club out of business. I'm theJEDMAN. I'm out. theJEDMAN
Hey, I played disc golf with some pros. I played with pros. I played pretty good, but those dude throw that disc all the way to the pin sometimes. A good throw for me is getting it half way to the pin. I don't know if I'll ever be able to throw it that far. My upper back gets kind of jacked up and I don't think I have the strength. Oh well, I played with pros. They were drinking beer on the course. I learned some disc golf etiquette. These clowns were into, but maintained a certain amount of control to have fun out there wtithout being too intense. It was great. theJEDMAN

BLOG WARS-I've been sitting here for an hour because I thought that I had something intersting to blog today, but I don't. I think that most of know that it is really tough for me to say anything interesting. I have a few readers now and I'm struggling to keep the juggarnaut that is theJEDMAN going. The auora of theJEDMAN is a O billion dollar a year industry. That has to be kept going, not for me, but for the fans. Now, I've got a huge lead on that dude over there at iberiannotes.blogspot.com. That guy is a clown compared to me. I've schooled that guy. I've out punched that guy. I've outwitted that guy. I"ve eaten way more beef than that guy. theJEDMAN is an unstoppable literary force and will destory iberiannotes if iberiannotes tries to take what is theJEDMAN. I'm a dynasty. Iberiannotes is a travesty. I advise everyone in the freeworld to stop reading iberiannotes now. Switch to theJEDMAN. You won't regret it. theJEDMAN

I saw Penelope Cruz on TV the other day and she has a new boyfriend. The new boyfriend is not me. It seems she's going out with another guy that she did a movie with. Are there no quality men out there for Miss Penelope to date. Why does she have to continually pick those dope smoking freakshow Hollywood types that get arrested for having loud parties with hip hop death metal country punk music in the Hollywood Hills. I tell you why. It is too much security personal. The security personal form an impenetrable zone between the quality men and Miss Penelope. Miss Penelope does not know what she is missing. Her people are advising her in the wrong way. I'm not thinking about me, but one possible key to Miss Penelope's happiness is meeting a quality person. With better security, she could meet and date theJEDMAN. Think about it. It could be Mrs. Penelope Cruz-theJEDMAN. It is not just Penelope. It is other celebrities with bad security forces. There could be Mrs. Salma Hayek-theJEDMAN or Mrs. Shakira-theJEDMAN

I wasn't going to say anything about the Jayhawks' defeat, but I feel I owe it to the public to give my take. It wasn't a surprise. The Jayhawks have been playing with an anemic offense all year long. They had trouble scoring. Consistent guard play has been absent all year long. I've been saying for two years that the Jayhawks have been playing un-watchful basketball. They play half-court all the time. They try to pound the ball in the post or kick out to a spot up three or someone goes one on one. In a word, BORING! This is what pretty much every team does. This is a big reason why I don't like college basketball as much as I used to. They only dunk and shoot three pointers. Get rid of the three point line. Move and shoot from somewhere else on the court. You can't expect big Wayne to do 30 post moves a game from the block. They never tried to run. They rarely pressed. They hardley ever forced any turnovers. All of these things Coach Roy's teams did. Coach Roy's teams were always different. Coach Roy's teams played a more watchable brand of basketball. The Jayhawks were so lucky to have coach Roy. If he hadn't come and hadn't worked out, there could have been really have bad basketball.
This was a bad loss. Nothing against Bucknell, but the Jayhawks lost to a team that only has four or five scholarship players from a league that had never one a game in the NCAAs. Perennial top 10 teams just don't lose to opponents like that. This loss makes last years final 8 look like it was just a Coach Roy hangover. This is the first step to Self being on the hot seat. If he has a bad year next year and loses in the first round again. Self will be on the hot seat. With no players returning that have proven they can play, it will most likely get worse before it gets better. I hope the team plays well next year for all those Jayhawks yeahoos out there. I hope they sick around for a 17-12 season. That is a losing season for Jayhawk yeahoos. We'll see. Remember sports are just not that important. They are just entertainment. So, enjoy the sport, but it is not life or death. There is no reason to get too high to low over a victory or loss. theJEDMAN

I bought two new jackets. I got a 30-50 degree jacket and at 50+ degree jacket. They are awesome. I made good purchases. I ordered out of a catalog. I usually don't like doing that because I have to feel what I'm buying first. These jackets rock. I've been searching for a jacket for a long time. All the jackets at stores are not good. I'm just glad my quest is over. theJEDMAN
I've gone to some games of this lower level college basketball tournament. They have a lot of games back to back. At halftime of the games, they have these kids teams play at both end of the court. One time they had 9 girls playing at one end. One girl had to sit out as the rest played 4 on 4. They were probably 10 or 11 years old. There were two dads there on the court as they were playing. They played for about ten minutes and never once did the girl on the side get in the game. She stood anxiouly on the side the whole time. Why didn't someone put her in the game? It is a big time playing in a big arena where Walt Hazzard played. Those stupid dads probably destoried this girls athletic career. theJEDMAN

I finally broke down and bought another computer. I'm sure Mr. Dell is happy. My last Mr. Dell computer quit working last summer. I got really mad at it and took it apart and put the pieces all over the house in the middle of the floor. It was awesome trying not to trip over them everyday. I had just used computers at work since then. I just didn't want to give Mr. Dell any more money. I hate technology, but I want to buy a MPS player to download some music for my massive 2 hours walks through the suburban streets that I love.
It was finally nice enough to hit the disc golf links. I played both Saturday and Sunday this weekend. I actually kept score today. I shot a 73. Not good. 1 over jedpar. Jedpar=not really par, but what Jed thinks it should be. I would have done better, but I blew a put on 18 and I rocketed my tee shot on 11 into an evergreen 10 feet from the tee. Then, I hit several trees on all of my shots in the woods on 15. Overall I recovered well. They have a league out at this place in Olathe. I might go play in it. My arm is strong and accurate. I'm getting that good.
Iberiannotes is putting stuff on their blog about theJEDMAN. Check out the Iberiannotes.
It is a little late, but I went to the Manino's Super Bowl Party. It was awesome. They had big Shrimp, pit group, and beef plenty of beef. They had beef in the soup and beef in the sandwiches. It was beef. BEEF, not to good for my colon, but good Super Bowl food. I watched every minute of the game from the pit group with my feet up. It was awesome. I love the Manino. I live for the Manino. theMANINO is awesome.

I have a friend that knows a country music superstar and has had the country music superstar at his house for lunch. However, this friend has done nothing introduce me or even put me in the same area as this country music superstar. Just, like Brentwood failed to get Patty over when I was cooking swordfish and salmon on the grill in the compound on the west coast. Also, Riucorb didn't help me with the girl at the pool in Catalonia 1995. I did my own talking in Spanish last fall and met a nice Latina. Maybe that is my problem. I've been using English all these years. I should forgo using English at all costs. theJEDMAN

Chadwell says that Jean has a big butt and fat ankles
Chadwell says that Jean eats too many desserts at the Golden Corral
Cheesecake, pie and fudge, fudge, fudge.
But, Jean is beautiful, no matter what Chadwell says.
Chadwell's words can't bring Jean down. Oh no.
Jean is beautiful in each and every way.
So, Chadwell, don't you bring Jean down today.
Chadwell says that Jean drinks too much beer
and hits the bacon and gravy buffet too often.
Chadwell says that Jean has hag hair
and a big mouth. She asks too many questions
But Jean is beautiful no matter what Chadwell says.
Chadwell's words can't bring Jean down. Oh no.
Jean is beautiful in each and every way.
So, Chadwell, don't you bring Jean down today.
