holy shit!

What? What’s that you say? Nifty devices that for sale that really hurt your ears and make you look like a deaf space cadet that are great for watching TV? I think the philosophy of this catalog is that if it has a big red TV icon, then you will buy it

In the beginning, their was light, and God Sayeth to his Angel of the Highway, “Do not let people die on these Highway things that’ll be around in about a billion years. Got that, Carl?”

Thank you God, for the Angel of the Highway, whose representation I now proudly own. I’m sure Carl will protect me in my travels.

Post office thoughts

I make frequent trips to the Porter Post Office in the afternoon. These trips have conjured up many intellectual questions, such as why is the line all the way out the door at 2:47, but nonexistent at 2:41? Why does the post office feel it has the privilege to close ten minutes early every day? Is it anyone’s job to clean the outside area by the P. O. Boxes? If you are curious why I ask, there is crinkled dead spider hanging in its own spiderweb by 809 that has been there since I started my job! His name is Milton. But the question that has been bugging me the most lately is: Why do people of the older persuasion seem to all have a certain scent? Yes, variations do exist, but there is no denying the odd mixture of mouthwash and mothballs accompanying every friendly old man that opens a door for me at the post office. It is similar in concept to how aged books seem to always have this mysterious odor. But the elderly are not made of trees, so this metaphor proves no apparent insight. Is it a special mouthwash for sensitive gums, a type of detergent popular in the 60′s, or a secret we will have to wait to find out? I am now curious what my smell will be when I become of the older persuasion… hopefully wine and cookies.

Out for a stroll

…outside the wire. It was just on some patrols around Baghdad and it was a great experience. Finally got to see what the city looks like. The biggest thing is that there is a lot of trash out there. One area we went through had some rubble from a building. The inside of the building was hollowed out and basically converted into a makeshift trash container. The other soldiers who have been going on this same patrol route say it looks better though. So work is being done to alleviate the problem, by military and civil authorities. They also have trash containers along the road to drop off garbage as you go… I guess… but some of those are hanging off loosely and trash was tossed in the general area. Stray dogs would be eating the trash and some were lying in it looking half dead. Cats would run around outside keeping out of the way. But the people were healthy and dressed well. The large households here probably house a lot of family members together. That’s in keeping with the strong tribal bonds they share.

The children were happy to see us as we drove through. I saw one sullen face and a vulgar hand gesture. For your education (and George W. who insulted Australians with this), don’t give the bowfinger, aka two-finger salute. It’s basically a peace sign, but with the palm inward instead of out to viewer. Confused? Look up V sign on wikipedia and you’ll see it there. But the kid I saw in Iraq gave us the finger. I just wanted to share the two-finger salute story. Continue reading »

fish hat

Surround yourself with laughter when fish sings & moves at the same time. Hey, buddy, they aren’t laughing with you.

Surprise your friends, neighbors, & coworkers. I imagine if you went to work wearing this hat, a scenario like this would play out:

“Hey Dale, what the hell is on your head?”

“Oh, Suzette, you noticed, it’s my new FISH HAT. Isn’t it hilarious?

“Take that damn thing off, your friends, neighbors, & coworkers might see that hideous thing. Put it in the pile with the rest of that shit you bought from that catalog.”

pointless clock

I’ve looked at this for at least a minute, trying to figure out why the hell anyone would ever possibly want something like this. “To find your glasses in the dark, of course,” you say. No, silly, this is just a stupid, worthless product. It glows in the dark, too!

holy shit!

Do you have horrible bowel or “irregularity” problems? Don’t go to the colon doctor- just take a “Colon Doctor” pill. “Easy-to-take” How can a capsule not be easy to take? Fast, effective, and a complete and utter placebo.
