Word Association Gone Bad

By Mink

Those of you who know me know that I have a habit of putting my foot in my mouth (both literally and figuratively). So the story that happened to me the other night should come as no surprise:

I was out to dinner at a restaurant the other night with my family including my aunt, uncle, and cousins. So during dinner I was having a side conversation with my sister when I overhear something my uncle says that strikes me as rather odd. I abruptly end the convo with my sister and ask loudly to my uncle "Did I just hear you say that you'd love to see more action?"

After what seemed liked the awkward eternity of silence (even longer than the pauses I would get in high school after asking girls to prom) he responds "Jon, actually Mr. 'Seymour Aschen' was a friend of mine who just passed away today." I quickly and quite awkwardly offered my condolences. This was followed by some more uncomfortable silence and one of the quickest "check please?" requests that you will ever see.

Besides feeling a little bad about the incident, my drive home was spent thinking of how I personally would have attempted to capitalize on being given such a fortunate name. Here are a few I came up with:

(NOTE: No disrespect whatsoever is intended to Mr. Aschen, may he rest in peace. I just really love the name)

1. I could start a blog called “Ladies: Seymour Aschen every night!”

2. My prom sales pitch to girls: Seymour Aschen at the prom!

3. I could break up with a girl by saying “Sorry but you will Sey(no)mour Aschen” or “No more Aschen for you”

4. A girl could leave another guy to be with me (haha) after saying: “I’m sorry but I’m all about Sey(ing)mour Aschen”

5. I would have been able to have had the following exchange with my middle school literature teacher:

Miss Levine: (during roll call): Seymour Aschen?
Me: As usual Miss Levine
Miss Levine: See me after class
Me: It would be my pleasure

this is just another great insight into mink's head. the only reason he was humiliated was b/c he inadvertently made a joke about a dead guy. the fact that he was asking a blood relative who was at least 20 yrs older than he if "he'd like to see more action" does not seem abnormal to this creature. you have to appreciate and pity this specimen.

New here,

I'm seeking help for the kids of Haiti.

I'm here for a non-profit organization that devotes themselves to
creating oppurtunities for the kids in haiti. If anyone here wants to give money then this is the place:

[url=http://universallearningcentre.org]Donate to Haiti[/url] or Help Haiti

They give children in Haiti a positive learning environment.

Please check them out, they are legitimate.

I greatly appreciate anyone's help

Now here's a shoe-in for the list of the year's best gaming-related clothing : Adidas has brought back its ZX 5 hundred running shoe, and, since it originally hails from the '80s, the gaming inspired design and coloring is an easy choice ... Right? The kicks won't be the coolest part of the deal, either ; they come packaged with a combo bracelet/USB flashdrive containing ZX Runner, a computer game based primarily on ... The shoe itself.

GameCulture writes that the game stars a personality named'DJ Zed' who, according to Adidas, has five minutes to'run, moon-walk, climb walls, avoid some dodgy-looking thugs, collect power-ups, and pull off mad rooftop-to-rooftop stunts' in order to get on-stage before his set starts. It looks suitably retro -- see for yourself in the video we've included after the breakdance.

Long time lurker, thought I would say hello! I really dont post much but thanks for the good times I have here. Love this place..

When I was hurt in that motorcar accident my life would be changed eternally. Sadly that driver had no car insurance and I was going to be in pain for ever.

This was not time for me to start and guess what to do. I had to find a good personal injury attorney to help me get what I needed. After all, my family was counting on me.

How awful was it? I has bedridden for 4 months, I had to have constant care and my hospital bills went through the roof!

Luckily, I found a good referral site to help me.

I will post more later this year to tell you more about what I have been going through.

If you need an personal injury lawyer try the guys at

After that goal, there was no way back for Real Madrid. The team, already lackluster in the second half, didn’t fight anymore. In fact, Madrid was lucky the French didn’t score again, as the team had more opportunities at the end. [url=http://www.pulsebet.com]real madrid official site[/url] Just entering the second half, Raul Gonzalez collected a pass from Ronaldo to finish the play and set up the first goal of the match. Only two minutes after, Matteo Contini saw the red card and Zaragoza was left with 10 players. But far from collapse due to the expulsion, the Zaragoza player Adrian Colunga faced Iker Casillas and got the equalizer at minute 61. Despite this goal, the Whites kept attacking but it was not until minute 82 when Kaka, who came back from injury, picked up a deep pass from Ronaldo and put the final 2-1 for Real Madrid.

At the end of the game, Kaka expressed his satisfaction at his team’s performance, happy to have helped his team by adding a point. [url=http://www.pulsebet.com]ricardo kaka[/url] Barcelona and Real Madrid can both boast a star-studded cast. Barcelona won on Tuesday against Racing Santander 4-1, with Lionel Messi scoring two of the team’s four goals; Real Madrid did their job on Wednesday, defeating Villareal 2-0 with goals from Kaka and Cristiano Ronaldo.
