CREED


I think one of the funniest characters on the office is Creed. Maybe I relate to him because he thinks he is and old hippie. Well it turns out he is, and he just plays himself. His real name is Creed.

Creed Bratton first found fame more than 40 years ago as a member of the 1960s rock group The Grass Roots, known best for the hit "Midnight Confessions." While with the band, Creed had a reputation for mischief making, whether fishing for sharks from a Seattle hotel window, dropping acid on the stage of the legendary Fillmore Theater or regularly running in the nude alongside the band's tour bus, according to his official Web site, www.CreedBratton.com.

Creed Thoughts

"There’s been a lot of bad mojo going on at work lately because of computers. Some kid’s been coming around saying how he wants to replace everyone with robots and calculators and little pieces of fruit. The Bossman listens to him, too, even though the kid’s real scrawny and has a horse face. Don’t get me wrong, I like computers as much as the next Joe, but when they start messing with me, I’m not just going to sit there and take it. I’ve seen the movies. If you want to fight back against a machine, you’ve got to chuck it in acid.

Acid. Oh man. Just writing that word brings back some memories. Not really memories. Flashbacks. Scary ones. I get them all the time. The other day I turned on the TV and everyone on the screen was a caveman. Freaked my bean, man."

And what do we know about him so far?
1. Made love to lots of women outdoors in the mud & rain...possibly a guy could have slipped in.
2. Likes to steal things
3. Had his own radio show called Wacky Weed Creed (deleted scene)
4. Never owned a refrigerator
5. Only has 4 toes on one of his feet.
6. Likes to sprout mung beans on a damp paper towel. They smell like death.
7. Plays a mean electric guitar.
8. Thinks a big pile of crap on Michael's carpet smells like soup.
9. Was adopted by an asian couple.
10. Not only knows what weed looks like, but can name the type ("northern lights premium cannibus" or something like that)
11. Was in an iron lung as a child
12. Was in the band The Grass Roots.
13. Regifts old shirts for Christmas presents.
And much more to come...........

GEOCACHING

A while back I got a small GPS device for the car, it made going on vacation a lot easier since my wife can not read a map to save her, so she makes a terrible navigator. I tried doing some geocaching with it but it would only work if the cache was close to a recognized road. So I splurged and bought a small handheld GPS. It has been kind of fun to go "caching". This past Saturday I took some of the grand kids out to introduce them to the world of geocaching. They had a blast and would get so excited each time we found one. And as you can see in the pictures, sometimes you discover things that you don't expect, like "there are actually cacti in the foothills above Stansbury Park". Next time the girls come up we are going to hide our own cache. Fun!

THE OFFICE

Taken out of context this is not even funny, but I thought I would split a gut. Pam said:
