I am Pete Ryan, you may have heard of me...No? Did you find something with peteryan.com labeled on it? I would really like to have it back and there may be a reward! pete at peteryan dot com
This is my little spot on the web where I spew words either every day or a few times a year. Who knows.
Mmm...beer. So MikeyB and I go out for a cupla beers. Surly beers at the OC in AV. Old Chicago in Apple Valley for you less acronym aware. Surly is a newer beer in the Twin Cities, a few months old. Now I will describe my few hours spent with the bar staff and MikeyB and eventually James (aka Eric). Fuck that you say? Was the beer anygood? I though so. Mike thought it had a little of an aftertaste, the first 3/4ths was good to him. Anyway...
I get to the bar, MikeyB had a Surly in front of him. The waitress walks up after about 3 mins to get my order. I say, give me a Surly. I am curious as to which it is...so I ask her, is it Bender or Furious?. She doesn't know but will be right back with the beer and an answer. I think Bender. When she gets back with the dark, smooth Bender she proceeds to tell me it is "Blender". "Blender" I say? You mean Bender? She says no, the post-it says Blender. She is to reading what Prior Lake HS is to math. For you that didn't go to PL, we are math retards. Bender I say one more time, NO, she says bitchily, Blender. Whatever, she leaves.
I don't see her for about 20 mins after I finish my first. Where is this B-word? She finally pops up and I get another beer. MikeyB orders a Shiner from the land of Bush. I get another Surly. mmm.. Good, local beer. Gone, fucking gone. Where the hell does this lady go? James is here and ready for a beer. She is nowhere in sight, so he hits the bar and orders some gay ass Belgian brew. Kidding James. I don't see the bitchy waitress again until the check is delivered. Eh, I guess I will try to stick to the OC downtown or in Eagan near work. They are way nicer, funny, and cute for you single guys. Not me though, Anne kicks my ass if I were to look. ;)
Have a Surly, Beer or Bike, you can't go wrong. Oh, and I stole 5 Surly Beer coasters. Nice stuff.

When you see the words, Chicken Curry Soup what do you think of? Well after that. Every other time I have had the Chicken Curry Soup here at work it has been great, today would be different. I notice extra onions on top of the soup today. I like onions, just going to have to grab some gum. Today I scoop up a spoon full, pour it into the styrofoam bowl and take it down to my desk. Mmm... I love this soup here, I actually watch for it on the menu. Take the first spoonful. WTF? Nah.. The onions taste funny... I spoon one out and look at it. Is that? No. I dry it off with a napkin, and see a green skin on it. I taste it. It is a fucking apple. Who puts apples in Chicken Curry Soup? Potatoes yes, apples no. SoDexHo has never done this to me before, I had to scoop out 2 inches of apples on top of my soup to get to the chicken, rice, and flavor and now I am still really hungry after only getting half my soup. Now back to the original question, did you think apples?
I am starting a biker gang with some of the Prior Lake guys. We are called the PL Pedalers. We ride bikes.
So it looks like there is a new(er) bag company in town, Banjo Brothers. I have a Chrome messenger bag and some shitty seat bags from other companies. They have a sweet grocery pannier and a bunch of nice seat bags and other stuff from the looks of it. I am hoping to get to see them in person at some point. I would like to get some grocery panniers mounted up on the Bianchi single speed so I can get to the Cub Foods and back without using the car since Byerly's just closed. Bastards, now I have to shop with the rejects and don't get nice carpeting... :)
Can I borrow a pen or pencil? This was the question I was just asked from a man that was going into a meeting room across from me. I starred at him for a few seconds and then gave him my most chewed up pen I had. This thing didn't even have the pocket clip on it anymore. I chewed that bastard off too. He kinda stumbled off staring at the chew marks all over it. Next time if he asks, I will bite the top open for him and demand he leaves a shoe until I get the pen back. I bet he will remember his pen next time.
This is my open letter to the fuckers standing outside my cube talking way to fucking loud while was on the phone. My cube wall is 4'10" facing the conference room that is right across from my desk, I can see you. Well most of you except for the short Asian women who was screeching way to loud to notice my giving you the stink eye. You didn't even notice when I kicked my cube wall that you were leaning up against. Your giant of a friend didn't notice either. Even when he rested his arm atop of my wall.
This is why I had to put my caller on hold and ask you to move your meeting to a conference room. You are inconsiderate fuckers. This is why I have had to chain my roller table and chair to my desk with a 6' Kingston cord. See attached shitty camera phone picture. You used my chair in the conference room WITHOUT ASKING and didn't bring it back. You used my surfboard roller table WITHOUT ASKING and then brought it back with fucking stuck on food all over it. That is why I asked you to clean it. Then I proceeded to lock the fuckers up.
Next time I am going to start slinging rubber bands, and EVERYONE knows I am a fucking binder sharp-shooter mutha-fuckers.
Anyway enough about them. Leaving for Lake of the Woods tomorrow way to early. I got a case of PBR and a case of Premo for the trip. Premos early and when I can't taste anymore PBR me ASAP. Going to sleep pretty quick after I get home.
