Contractual Obligations

Well, I'm feeling roughly 738% better than I did yesterday, so I will again assume the title of Grand Poobah of the Goulash. And let me tell you, holding that position down is no easy feat because I really got suckered into signing a bad contract when I applied for the gig. Not only am I obligated to do 5 entries a week here (3 good entries, 0.75 of a great entry, and 1.25 bad entries), but here are a few other things I must do in order not to get sued by CodyPowell.com, Inc.:

- Spend no less than an hour a day marketing CodyPowell.com merchandise, such as bibs, wooden shoes, and cake mix.
- Check the temperature once in an hour in the real Cody Powell's cryogenic chamber.
- One weekly guest appearance on the popular Spanish soap opera, "Aye, Mis Cacahuetes!".
- Serve as cheerleader for the Texas Celebrity Rollerball Championship (after the last one, I got bit on the ankle and thrown down a flight of stairs by none other than Mr. Troy Aikman).
- Accompany Frodo to Mordor to destroy the Ring in the fires of Mount Doom (not looking forward to this one).
- Forfeit any profits made off my new side business, Cody Powell's Fancy Dancing Academy.

Yeah, it's a lot of sacrifices, but as I like to tell random people I meet at the gas station, I didn't choose Goulash; Goulash chose me.

I normally don't do the link thing, but I found a good interview with the guys behind Aqua Teen Hunger Force on flakmag.com. Those guys are geniuses, and you can consider them officially invited to the Goulash Bicentennial.
