Or should I say "waiter".For those who may be interested and haven't heard, 'waiter' from waiterrant took off the mask today. His book "Waiter rant: Thanks for the tip---confessions of a cynical waiter" is being released today. As such he has given up his anonymity.Sure it's not like finding out who zoro really is....It's not quite like having the mask removed and seeing Bruce wayne underneath...

First of all , I would like to offer my thanks to those who have occasionally popped in to the blog, or at times through email and asked some version of "are you okay" or something to that effect. I am pretty sure that I answered all those emails, but just in case one fell through the cracks, I do appreciate the concern. That said, there is really nothing to be concerned about.

Is it really almost December already? I was walking around walmart shortly after halloween and heard my first Christmas song playing over the loud speaker. Call me a grinch, but I beleive I said out loud something along the lines of "what the F@#@!"It is hard to believe that thanksgiving is this week, Christmas is just around the corner, and before you know it it will be freaking 2008? REally?

For those of you who may be interested, Jason over at The clarity of night is holding another contest. You can click the link above or in my sidebar for all of the details. However the short version of it is you are to write a story of 250 words or less based on the above picture. He has held a number of these contests in the past(6 I think), and I have taken part in 3 or 4 myself. Besides the

Safe to say I haven't been too active in the blog world as of late. Nothing major to post about now either but a few things that have gone through my mind lately.-Daylight savings time: I have probably posted on this before but oh well. Can someone please splain to me the usefulness of this? Want to make this useful? Do it twice a week. Friday at 4pm boom, spring forward to 5 and you get to go

Or considering my posting rate as of late perhaps "funny of the month" would be better. Anywhooooo, found this on one of the sites I visit.From the Northwest Florida Daily News comes this story,of a couple who drove their car to Wal-Mart, only to have their car breakdown in the parking lot. The man told his wife to go on in and shop while he fixed the car in the lot. The wife returned later to

It has been a rather odd few weeks as of late. I told you the story of getting pulled over for driving too slow. It is safe to say that I haven't heard the end of it since then, and truth be told Nor should I. Fast forward a few weeks.....Officer: Do you know why I pulled you over?Me: "I wasn't driving too slow was I?"Officer: (enter combination weird/ ' Oh so you think you are a smartass' look

Sometimes it is hard to get what your pet is trying to tell you. With practice though, it is kind of funny how you can pick up on how certain body language means 'pet me' or "hey your home nice to see you!" It can range from "when you get the chance I kind of have to tinkle"(I am not sure why I imagine Kash to have a british accent when I get that look but I do).It can be as simple as "I have to

One of my recent blog finds, Turnbaby of 'And as the world turns' (blog) and Turnbaby talks(Blog talk radio show) has been talking a lot about the urban dictionary and how funny it is. I finally managed to check it out for myself and have to agree. My dictionary dot com word of the day often finds its way into my trash bin unread. This one however, is being read daily.

Maybe it is the alcohol. Maybe it is a lack of sleep. Maybe it is just delusions of thinking I can actually pull it off, but as you can see, I decided to try out a new look. I hate to look closer to see what I managed to screw up, but there isn't any smoke coming from my keyboard and the blog didn't disappear(sorry to disappoint you) so it wasn't as bad as I feared it may be.

On a hike through the bush, he came across a young bull elephant standing with one leg raised in the air. The elephant seemed distressed, so Mike approached it very carefully. He

After careful consideration I have come to the conclusion that women are all insane. All of em! One of my best friends used to say this to me all the time. I would simply laugh a little bit, nod my head and agree. I had no idea just how right he was.Exhibit A)I pull in to work and walking through the parking lot I notice a strange car that I haven't seen before. Upon closer inspection I see that

Like sex, It could have been done in 8 minutes were it not for the constant 'huh's? and "whats?" and "could you repeat thats" caused by my trying to understand the first support tech's accent.

One of my co-workers has been bugging me for weeks to find this Brad Paisley video and watch it. I have heard the song numerous times on the radio and found it pretty funny but the video takes it to a whole other level. Add in the fact that at least three actors from the best show ever being in it allows me more time of denial that Seinfeld really DID end and that is just gravy. Anywhoooooo check

Hi, my name is BD and I am a procrastinator. I have been one for about 38 years I believe. My mother growing up used to try to get me out of this habit, but she failed. She trotted out 'don't put off till tomorrow what you can do today' to no avail. I am pretty sure that this annoyed the hell out of her. That wasn't my intent, it is just the way I was/am. I think in some small way she probably

Actually, 'lazy' is not the word but I DO love to be comfortable.These two traits which I don't deny and in fact embrace to a degree have been battling it out for supremecy as of late. Apparently the universe has decided that I have to choose which of the two I prefer the most. Wordiness or

I have to say I am proud. Quite proud to say the least. One of our regular guests came by the Biffy diner today and dropped off a package. Nothing fancy really, just a bag full of buttons which had all sorts of slogans and catch phrases on them. This bag of goodies arrived several hours before I got there so that the morning crew had more than enough time to look through them, pick through them

I am in the process of becoming an official BIFFY-ite. I may very well be dead center in the middle of no where. Just kidding. I KNOW I won't have internet for at least a week or 10 days. Have to show them all the other spiffy new inventions first.Things like,Running water.....electricity......the wheel......Sliced bread.....you get the idea.Quick observations about living in the country that I

And there ain't nuttin wrong with that. I have done very little to nothing today at all. As we speak I am sitting on my couch watching my Redsox take on our most bitter rival the yankees. I headed to Home Depot to pick up a few things to fix a sink at work. I have been more or less forced to become somewhat of the 'fixit man' at work as of late, which if you know me(or any male in my family) is

Okay the question for the day is this......How do YOU define the word "extremely"?No, no, don't go looking it up, just off the top of your head. Why do you ask BD your asking?Here is why. briliantdonkey --[adjective]:Extremely flatulent'How will you be defined in the dictionary?' at QuizGalaxy.com Well now, THAT'S just a bit of an exagerration!

Just checking in to let my three readers know that no, in spite of the silence, I ain't dead quite yet. So what has been going on in the world of Briliant donkey? A lot. And yet nothing at the same time. As you may(or may not) have heard Florida is in another 'Fire' year where half the state at some point or another seems to be on fire. Knock on wood, I have been fairly lucky as of yet. Other

Well the contest results are in. I didn't win but that is okay. Three of my favorites placed in the competition so I have no qualms with the results whatsoever. Truth be told I wasn't very happy with my entry at all. I liked the story and the idea, but the rushed results just didn't do it for me. Hopefully this will teach me to finish a story early, put it away for a while, and then come back to

Mist, over at Must get hobby , you know who I mean? The incredibly funny hottie with 4 billion shoes(and that is just the left ones btw) is hosting The carnival of the mundane this week. As such she has asked me to participate. To say I was honored would be an understatement.That's right "WAS".And,,,,,,,THEN I looked up "mundane" at dictionary.com.Mundane: 2) common; ordinary; banal;

All in all I had a fairly good weekend. First, I bought season five of "The shield" and watched it all the way through in two days. Needless to say, I didn't get off of my couch very much except to try and figure out what I just did with the damned remote!Second,The "Growth short fiction" contest over at The moon topples(see sidebar or a couple of posts back for the link) deadline has passed.

A while back someone sent me this logo. I have been trying to figure out how to get it on the blog ever since. He is SUPPOSED to fart and cause one of the "L" s to disappear so we will see if it works. If not, and anyone smarter than me knows how to make this work I would love to hear it.

Okay so I am a day late, sue me. This Friday blog flashlight idea is one I have been meaning to do for a while but haven't ever really gotten around to doing it. We shall see how it goes. Last week I posted a bit about Jason's contest over at the clarity of night. While the prizes are nice, and the feedback great, my favorite thing about his contests is I always manage to find any number of new

So a little over a week ago, Heather in her infinite wisdom decided to give me a 'thinking blogger' award. In the spirit of 'innocent until proven guilty' the briliant donkey legal department would like to point out the following disclaimer:The owner of this blog makes NO claims (expressed or implied) of THINKING whatsoever.I, for what it is worth, am not sure what SHE may have been thinking.

The deadline for the contest has passed, and the voting has now closed. Hopefully, some of you made it over to take part in it and had fun. I know I did as always. Thanks again to Jason for holding such great contests. Okay, so you have clicked over there, saw 59 entries and thought 'WTF BD, you want me to read 59 of em?". Okay fair enough. If you don't have time for all of them I will suggest

I was cleaning out my email box today and came across this that has been sitting in there for who knows how long. Have a neighbor that is driving you crazy? Someone you don't really like that ignores the hints and keeps coming over anyways? Send them a clear message compliments of BD. Well okay, compliments of someone that sent it to BD a long time ago.

Just a quick note/reminder about Jason's short fiction contest over at The clarity of night. The deadline is in two days(wednesday 11pm est) so if you haven't already entered head on over and do so. Again, even if you don't plan to enter I very strongly reccomend you go over and read over some of the entries. I never fail to be surprised and impressed by the level of competition. For what it is

Just kidding, put down the can of raid and back away from the monitor Actually, Jason over at the Clarity of Night is hosting another short fiction writing contest. In "The endless hour", his 5th contest, participants are to write a shortstory of no more than 250 words based on the above picture . I myself have

By now pretty much everyone has heard of what has happened this morning on the campus of Virginia Tech University. First off, I would like to say that my heart goes out to all the victims, the families of the victims and even to the family of the person resonsible for this act.This story is of course all over the news. This I understand.On every single channel, this I understand.What causes

48 hours....No, Eddie Murphy and Nick nolte haven't teamed up to make another movie though I wouldn't mind if they did. Perhaps it could start with Nick trying to splain that whole mugshot of his. 48 hours. That is the amount of time I have before I have to go back to work.And I am loving it.Better yet I don't really have all that much planned. I don't even have fantasy baseball draft preparation

First on an administrative note. I am going to try something a bit different from now on. The scoring will be the same. However, each week I will just update THIS post instead of creating another entire one. Please continue to put your picks in the comments of this post until the end of the season. That said. If you haven't watched the show(and plan to later) stop reading now or else I will give

I think it may be time that I get laid. Mind you I am normally NOT all that much of an "I need to get laid" sort of guy. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy sex just like everyone else, but I am like a sexual camel (or donkey if you must). A few months ago I was sitting at home like any other day off and happened to go into the bathroom . It was about 3:3o in the afternoon and the sun was shining

First off to those of you not interested in Idol at all. Sorry for the lack of other posts recently. I have been spending most of my free time doing homework to prepare for Fantasy baseball season. Yes yes I am a fantasy sports geek. Anyways, my drafts are coming up this weekend so hopefully after that I can get back in the groove of the other types of posts that my two readers have come to

Okay week two is now over. I see we definitely have some kinks to work out of the system. First off I have made a small decision. Since only ONE person will be voted off per week instead of the two that were previously, I will award the same amount of points as before for being able to nail who that person is. Before it was 50 for the first male guessed correctly, and 100 more if you nailed them

Okay, sorry for the delay in getting this posted. Being fairly new to idol I thought we were still on the tues,wed,thursday cut 2 each schedule. Just now watching it on tivo now before I go to work. Someone correct me if I am wrong but now the cuts are today(wednesday) instead of tomorrow right?Also, from what I am gathering there is only one cut per week for now on as well?

First of all, I would like to send out a quick congratulations to Bice and heather for finishing up their first blog talk radio show just a few minutes ago. There were a few kinks as they continue to get used to the system and such but all and all it seemed to go fairly well. I am not sure what the regular schedule will be like but check it out. Once they work out those few kinks such as:Clearly

So I went out to eat the other day on my day off. I went to a local chain that sells among other things all sorts of coffees, desserts, sandwiches, soups, breads, and the like. It is the kind of place you can go and spend a couple of leisurely hours reading a book, or surfing the web if you like. Or you can come in, eat, and run depending on your preference. So there I am standing in line. I have

Looking at this week's scores I think even Sanjaya is looking at us as a group and saying "man they suck!" Randy, when shown our scores said,"you know, I am just not feeling it."Paula Abdul was quoted as saying "You all didn't do all that well today, but you have potential."Simon?

I personally do not buy into superstitions at all. To me they are a farce. An excuse for when things go bad. I DO however notice tendencies. For instance, if I am sitting in the living room watching the football game and things are going well and then go into the bedroom to continue watching. If at this point my team begins playing like crap, does that mean me going into the bedroom caused my

Okay I swear this is NOT going to become an American Idol dominated blog. However, it is going to seem that way since this will be two posts in a row. What can I say? The back pain and the nyquil has gone to my head. No no, chick or Michael or more likely Heather let me save you the trouble. No I am NOT taking nyquil for the back pain and wondering why it isn't working. At least not

Alright I have another confession to make. Prior to last season I never once saw a single episode of American Idol. Not one episode, not one minute, I don't think I so much as caught a glimpse of it while scanning through the channels even.

Outside my front door this morning there was an explosion. I ran outside to see two cars crumpled together with a dump truck. Upon further investigation, I noticed the dump truck had come to rest on top of a little girl, two boys, and a beagle. Being the manly man that I am I ran to the rescue, and in an adrenaline filled moment of power lifted the dump truck into the air with my bare hands! I

About a week ago I was recruited to the male panel to answer women's questions that they wanted to pose to us guys and get real answers to.

A blind man walks into the restaurant. No no this isn't the beginning of a bad joke. Seriously, today a blind man walked into the restaurant. I would LIKE to say that I didn't know he was blind. I would LIKE to say that he was so good at covering up his handicap that I could hardly tell. That would make me feel a tad bit better.Truth is he DID impress the hell out of me with how well he got along

I received an interesting email today. Just one of the many 'here pass this on' sort of emails that I tend to get from time to time. Religion is one of those things that I have always more or less steered clear of when it comes to blogging or talking about it. It is safe to say, I am far from a Bible thumper(not that there is anything wrong with that). However, I do want to share this for what it

I guess it is safe to say that everyone has their share of pet peeves. Things that drive you batty. For lack of anything better to post about today, I guess I will head in that direction.Gas pumps: Does anyone else feel these things insult your intelligence? I get the pay before you pump thing. It makes sense even though I don't much like the whole concept of punishing everyone for the sins of a

"wake up mom"Shandra finally registered the shaking of her bed as not being part of a dream and rolled over to find her son staring at her from the side of the bed. Instantly awake she sat up and asked him what was wrong."nothing he replied, but don't get out of bed!"Shandra groaned, remembering the last time he had told her to 'stay here' with that particular look in his eyes.

I am working tomorrow but then am off for my fairly usual Sunday/monday 'weekend'. Nothing major planned other than hoping to finish off a small piece for a contest entry and go to my off season fantasy football league meeting. Other than that it will be nothing more than catching up on the boob tube and washing my badly in need car finally. 24, Beauty and the geek, Survivor, ER, Lost and

Some of the easier questions I already answered in the comment section of the last post. Now on to a few of the longer ones.Woo woo asked:I want to know the most dangerous thing you've ever done.Well I DID once ask Chick, Fringes, and Mist something along the lines of "are you going to drink that?"

So I have just recently heard of a new strategy that big companies are using. I don't know how true it is but it seems like a brilliant idea to me.

You just had to backspace and add the extra 'L' cause you are spelling it wrong without doing so intentionally anymore.Anywhooooo,Basically, they make a commercial that they

Just a few quick notes before I shuffle off to hell work.My recent post titled "Pass the chips" brought about quite a few comments. A lot of them were from women quickly pointing out that men had our share of drama as well. While I agree with that sentiment to a degree, there was a difference which I couldn't quite put my finger on. They are indeed the same, and yet different in some way. Then

No no, don't go getting too carried away with the celebration. Briliant donkey, the blog or the person behind it isn't going anywhere. "Goodbye" , is simply this week's prompt for sunday Scribblings. This also happens to be Super bowl Sunday as well and the game will kick off in about 3 hours or so. With these things in mind I have to make a request.Can we please say goodbye to such things as "

After finishing my last post I have been out surfing a bit. I have left a "F.A.R.T" or two. I have even left an "I.F.A.R.T." I have noticed a bit of a trend. I am almost dissappointed to actually HAVE something to say now. In that case would"I came in here all ready to just F.A.R.T and run but now I have to comment!" would that be acceptable?Imagining how the blog owners are reacting when reading

Please forgive me if I begin to F.A.R.T on your blog. Just a quick note to those whose blogs I frequent on a regular basis. Often I find myself visiting these blogs, reading the posts and just simply don't have anything to add to the discussion. However, at the same time I kind of feel rude NOT leaving a comment. Therefore, I have come up with a possible solution. Michael over at Cardiac

If you missed part one scroll down a page or so to the last post.G immediately loses his cool. None of the contingency plans covered this. He starts to insist whatever we do we can't keep staring at the mustache and yet I can't seem to make myself look away. What do you do when someone says don't look down? you look down!

It is funny how you never seem to reach the point where you actually 'have seen it all'. You may THINK you have. I occasionally get the idea that I have. Then something comes along that shatters that illusion .I am working the other night, standing at the counter talking with a couple of the regulars.I see Rosie standing off to the side and don't really pay much attention to her.

This week's prompt for Sunday Scribblings is "Fantasy". As most(of the three of you) know, I work in the restaurant business. This pretty much means that for the most part I am surrounded by women. Seems like a good thing you would think and sometimes it is. It is every man's fantasy you would think and at times I had thought so to. As the old saying goes, "women, you can't live with em, can't

So here I was, clearly with the policeman checking my speed. I could almost see the smirk on his face. I could almost see him thinking "ahhhh middle aged man in a sports car SURELY he is speeding."I am not sure what I was expecting. Maybe, part of me was expecting an invisible ray to shoot out of it and transport the unsuspecting officer into another part of town, another city, or galaxy. Maybe

My nephew a few weeks ago gave me a radar detector. I don't really NEED one but had been considering getting one anyways, so it's all good. Mind you, I am not by any stretch a speed freak. My days of hot rodding and racing are far FAR behind me, having grown out of them about 15 years ago, but when you own a sports car you are to some degree guilty by asscociation and pretty much looked at more

So, I have begun to consider moving the briliant donkey else where. I HATE to move. HATE it. The idea of packing up boxes and moving makes my stomach hurt. Actually, I am not thinking strongly about it, but a post by fringes today got me to at least wondering. If I read your blog, I probably already know which service you use. However, I have NO clue what the plusses and minuses of each one of

This week's prompt for Sunday scribblings is "kissing". Just a few random thoughts on the subject off the top of my head.French Kissing,,,,,,Question,,,,,,What do French people call a kiss involving the tongue? The following is a conversation between Scott and a12 year old French Foreign exchange student:Scott: So,,,,spill it, did you kiss her?Jean Paul: OUI!Scott: Did she kiss back?Jean paul: Oh

The more I thought about this topic today while I was at work, the more I realized that I could go on and on forever. Yeah yeah I know what you are thinking......But BD, you DO go on forever and ever everytime you post.In the spirit of 'the first step to solving a problem is admitting you have one' all I can say isGuilty your honor.

First off a little disclaimer: I have NO idea where I got the title of this post from, I am however, fairly certain that it did NOT come from me. If I had to guess I would say it was from one of a million comedy sketches I have seen various comedians do. It may have been from one of the many blogs I have read, or a newspaper article, who knows? Anyways, that line or that thought is NOT a Briliant

I was in my car the other day doing a bunch of errands on my day off. As I pulled up to the red light something made me look over to my right at the car(actually a minivan) that had just pulled up next to me. It was just your standard, run of the mill mini van. On the side of the door was one of those little magnetic signs you see all the time. Some say 'avon salesman' , 'Joe blows crab shack',

I hope everyone had a very merry and safe Christmas. Me? Mine was so so. As usual, I ended up working. It was in a different place than I have been for the past several years so I guess that is a step in the right direction. The ironic(in a 'piss you off sort of way') part is I was at the last place for almost 15 years. The whole time I pushed to be closed on either Thanksgiving or Christmas if

So there I am finally having finished all my shopping and proud of myself for not losing it in the middle of wally world. Promising myself next year I would NOT wait until the last minute.
