Have you ever wondered why whenever you drink a cup of coffee and you then use the john, your pee smells like the coffee you just chuggrd 5 minutes ago? Since this is coffee we're talking about, I would suspect that somehow The Underpants Gnomes are involved…
Labor Days’s coming up. Labor Day is an irony. You celebrate work by taking a day off. Anyway, the various and sundry cable networks are having some sort of Labor Day Marathon. So, what will you be watching? I already know that I’m going to be working Saturday and Sunday. There’s a possiblity I’ll be working on Monday, but if not, I think I’ll be watching the Dirty Jobs marathon. It’s always fun to watch Mike Rowe get shit on…..

Another day in August washed out by rain. According to King 5's Jeff Renner, we've already received triple the amount of rain in August that we normally would get….
I normally take Pierce Transit to work. On a rainy day, when I board the bus, I sometimes half expect the driver to have a peg-leg, an eyepatch, a hook and a parrot. That doesn’t scare me. Being a Pastafarian, I always rejoice when I see The Chosen Attire being worn. When he talks about plundering King County Metro, then I get concerned.
It has been said:
Apparently that glass of milk you had with your Oreos came from a cow that was aligned North-South…
I grew up (in part) on my Grandfather’s dairy farm, and I never recalled Grandpa’s holsteins being aligned all in one direction or another. Then again, who really gives a flying lawyer’s ass. When the milk you drank at the dinner table was going moo and making shit pies that morning, you really don’t care what in direction the cow was standing. You just know that you can tell the difference that milk and the watered down elmers glue that you got with your school lunch.
Anyway, on the origin of milk:
And this gives you an idea about how my luck is:
I took Monday off to celebrate my birthday. It rained. I was off again on Tuesday. It rained. Even worse than Monday. Wednesday, it rained the worse when I had to walk to the bus stop (and I got wet). When I got to work on Thursday, not only did it stop raining the moment I entered the building, but it also got sunny!
Fast forward to today, where I'm scheduled to work an überlong shift. And it's bright and sunny outside.
Some people just have all the luck. I wish they would share it with me…
It's one thing to use plastic for your groceries. I never carry cash into the store anymore, as I have a debit card, and it'll come straight out of my bank account. I'm sure you could also use a credit card st the grocery store too, but one of the reasons why the economy is in the toilet today is because far too many people are spending beyond there means. You'll eventually have to pay the piper, and people are now learning the hard way about the importance of fiscal responsibility.
But enough about that. Long story short: It's OK on most occasions to put your Hot Pockets on plastic. It's never OK to put plastic in your Hot Pockets. Unless of course recalls are your thing…
You’re old. Too old. The Banana Splits are returning. They were old already when I first saw the reruns. Maybe they could bring back Danger Island, too. Or even better, the anime that I grew up on: Starblazers (aka Space Battleship Yamato)?
LeRoi Moore, saxophone player for the Dave Matthews Band has passed away. I like nearly all forms of music, and the Dave Matthews Band wa one of my favorites. And he wasn't that much older than I was. That's what scares me. Yet another lesson on the frailties of life. Human life is a precious thing, and is all too often wasted.
There's nothing to see here. Really, there isn't. BTW, I can now post straight from my phone (rather than using an MMS message as before). So disregard this post. I'm just playing with a new toy.
Edit: Though I do have to come back later from my computer to tag & link the posts. The software I’m using on my phone is available here.
Do you believe in other dimensions? Carl Sagan explains the fourth dimension:
You can learn a lot from watching Cosmos. Sure, a lot of advances and discoveries have been made that makes some of it outdated, but it’s still an interesting program. Too bad the Science Channel no longer airs it. But the Pierce County Library has a copy. And I live three blocks down from the Parkland/Spanaway branch (which is why Borders will never see any of my money again). I think I know what I’ll be requesting on my next trip to the library. Which is also how Carl Sagan got interested in astronomy in the first place: the public library.
Who played the role of Agent Smith in The Matrix? It was Carl Sagan, of course:
Yes, I know it was really the same guy who played Elrond in Lord Of The Rings (and was also the voice of Megatron in Transformers). But Carl seems to just fit in much better….
Since I was at my previous apartment for less than a year, I had given all hope of getting my security deposit back. I still live at the complex (I had just moved into a different apartment), and I assumed my manager had ‘carried over’ my deposit into my new, or I left the previous apartment in that bad of a shape. Needless to say, I was just grateful that my deposit covered everything, and nobody was coming after me to recover damages….
Fast forward to five minutes ago, when I notice a letter on the designated mail table with my name on it. It was a check from the apartment company for the remainder (they took a chunk out for cleaning, but that’s par for the course). My roommate had got the mail and never told me that I had mail that day. BUt it’s still a good surprise.
And It’s my birthday today, as well. Usually what happens is that everybody is usually broke by my birthday (and this year is no exception). Well, at least I can celebrate. I'm getting a Shadow.
It's so hot that I'm taking the express bus to work. Yes, it's more expensive but it's also air-conditioned. Soundtransit rocks.
Barack Obama does not heal people! It does speak wonders about some peoples’ stupidity when snopes has to do a write-up about it. They’d probably even believe that Belgium really exists. What’s next, Elvis isn’t really dead?
Micheal Phelps now has 6 gold medals and 6 world records. And I just watched his last one, I can assure you that he isn’t walking on the water….
I missed most of the opening ceremonies (I was watching the Seahawks pillage the Vikings. In Minnesota. And I was too tired from working two back-to-back shifts and only four hours of sleep). But from what I’ve seen:
The Olympics will be over in a few days, and then we can get back to what late summer and fall ought to be about: Football.
When reality strikes, sometimes you just need to use you imagination. It worked quite well for Muppet Babies, and there was always The Wonderful Land Of Make-Believe. Just remember what Chorus said:
Ok, so this was probably just a piss-poor excuse to post a scene from one of my favorite movies, but then again,it’s still a valid message.
I heard on the news this morning that Bernie Mac is no more. He's ceased to be, snuffed it, bought the farm, bit the dust, popped the twig.... Oh wait a minute, he wasn't in the parrot sketch. But he was a funny man, and will be missed.
This blog is now brought to you by powdered toast man:
I remember first seeing this in high school. The shop teacher brought in a tv and vcr and showed this specifically to the entire class. for no apparent reason. I grew up without cable tv (and hence no Nicelodeon), and so I had no clue what this was about. To this day, I still have no freakin’ clue why he showed this…. Mr. Crust didn’t even seem to be that into Ren and Stimpy…..
Even if you’re out in the middle of nowhere, don’t let life get you down. Remember the Anthem:
