			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well another year has gone by, yes yesterday was my Birthday (yay <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bastille_Day" target="_blank">Bastille Day</a>).  I think I&#8217;m starting to feel the 32 years I&#8217;ve been around, as will be witnessed by what I&#8217;m talking about this week.. <img src='http://www.dave-bates.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>First, let me just say, that I love fried foods.  Moz Sticks, Provago Wheels, French Fries, Donuts.. it doesn&#8217;t matter, I&#8217;ll eat just about anything fried.  So, what better way to merge two of my favorite things, into one.  I found a &#8220;<a href="http://www.wchstv.com/gmarecipes/deepfriedtwinkies.shtml" target="_blank">Fried Twinkie</a>&#8221; recipe on the interwebs and thought I&#8217;d try it out.  I&#8217;ve heard these are supposed to be the bomb-diggity, so why not.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-119" title="friedtwinkie" src="http://www.dave-bates.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/friedtwinkie-300x266.jpg" alt="friedtwinkie" width="300" height="266" /></p>
<p>Okay .. Let me just say, this was the WORST food for you ever.  This thing, I&#8217;m sure, would kill a rhino!  The batter was good, the gooey-ness of the twinkie inside was awesome.  However, the <strong>heaviness</strong> of this thing I could tell was just choking off my arteries.  It was a pretty good treat.. but the recipe called for making 6, and no one else would try them, so I felt compelled to eat three of these things&#8230; needless to say I was sick for the rest of the night!</p>
<p>Next, can I just say that I used to LOVE wrestling, when I was a kid.  WWF, WWE or whatever it&#8217;s called now, I can see kids enjoying for entertainment value till about their 20&#8242;s (past that, I dunno).  I myself, do not consider myself a sportsman by any means either.  Loathe most of the normal sports (basketball, baseball, bad-mitten, what have you).  But let me just say if you EVER get the chance to see a bout of roller derby, DO IT.  This was the most awesome thing I&#8217;ve ever seen in my life.  These girls were good sports and they worked HARD at what they do.  You wouldn&#8217;t think that skating for 20 minutes at a time is very taxing, but just go watch these girls work out.  It was the most entertaining thing I&#8217;ve seen since ABC&#8217;s Wipeout.  And our girls trounced the Chicago Crew by 70 points.  I&#8217;m definitely hooked, and think I will be getting tickets for every bout that I can!</p>

<p>Finally, on the gaming front, I finished <a href="http://www.gamespot.com/xbox360/action/ghostbusters08/index.html" target="_blank">Ghostbusters</a> (on my birthday) on the casual &#8220;portion&#8221; of the game.  The game was pretty awesome, and I will have a review coming here soon for that, but I would suggest it to anyone who liked the movie, was just as funny.  Good to know that Aykroyd has not lost his touch!</p>
