Odd Little Bits

Hey there. I've only got a couple minutes, but I wanted to share a few random thoughts.

Now, I may have clicked past it too fast, but I swear I recently saw an add for an erasable address book? Really? Who's out there going "I am so mad at you - that's it - you are coming out of the address book"? Make a commitment and stick with it, dammit.

Just wondering... if your thoughts on race relations are influenced by what you hear on the Imus show, don't you really have bigger problems?

Finally, President Bush recently said that many Americans wish we weren't at war...including him. Is it just me, or isn't it actually up to him? I mean, if you say you hate my sweater, well that's fine. But if I hate my sweater, then why the hell am I wearing it? (yea, I know, I've got some kinda odd sweater fetish.)

Fact vs. Fiction

You avid readers (both of you) may recall that I recently wrote a post where I mentioned how obsurd it would be to go on a ride called the "Bouncinator" and complain that it "goes up and down too much."

In a case of life imitating art, I was listening to Wait Wait..Don't Tell Me on NPR tonight and they spoke of a ride named "The Scandia Screamer" which apparently created so much noise that neighbor complaints led to a ban of making noise...on the Screamer.

They announce before the ride, literally: "So please remain silent and enjoy the screamer."

You can download/listen to the audio from Wait Wait... on this page, or read the article from azcentral.com I used for my quotes (and other details) here.

Happy Dyngus Day

Yea, I know, I'm barely makin' in under the wire (if that), but at least it's still a surprise. Of course, if you don't know what Dyngus Day is, here's some background from the foremost experts on Polish Traditions...the Knoxville News Sentinel:

For what it's worth, I usually see water used...
...not frying pans.

Pratically Dripping

Well, Spring is here, which means it's time to put away the sweaters.

Kind of a weird name if you think about it: sweaters.

I mean, they're actually a somewhat dressy piece of clothing.

I guess you'd call them upscale casual -- kind of the Olive Garden of the clothing world.

Yet there it is: the word "sweat" right in the beginning. Like you go to your closet to pick something out to wear for a nice evening (like first dinner with the girlfriends' parents) and you think "what do I have the just screams 'perspiration'?"

Nobody really wears these things to help with sweating, do they? Ironically, if you're wearing a sweater and you actually do sweat, most people take them off -- as if it's a big surprise. Like getting on a ride called the boucinator and complaining that it "goes up and down too much."

Maybe they should call them "cozies" -- you know, like the things you put on beer cans...
...or "static generators." Either one would be more accurate if you ask me (but no one ever asks me...ever).

Then they could use the name sweaters for more appropriate pieces of clothing...
...like flannel boxers, for instance.

Good Times and Good Friends

They say most accidents happen at home...

...that's probably because home is where your friends are.

This clip demonstrates my point:

More to come. No, seriously I mean it this time.
