How could this happen in a place like that?
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — A customer who was upset over his tab fired several shots into a Hooters restaurant, leaving a manager and another patron in critical condition Saturday, police said.
Police were searching for the man, who left on foot just after midnight, Lt. Kenny Miller said.
Managers asked the man to leave after he refused to pay his bill, according to Miller.
The man went outside and started firing shots from a .40-caliber handgun at the building, Miller said.
A customer leaving the restaurant and a manager inside were in critical condition Saturday at the University of Tennessee Medical Center.
No other details were immediately available.
How does something like that escalate at a Hooters? How can anyone get mad enough to shoot someone at a Hooters? How can anyone get mad at all at a Hooters?
When I'm at a Hooters, I'm all smiles, all the time. I'd probably be more likely to start shooting someone at Disneyland than Hooters.

How to avoid snowblower injuries
How did I do it?
Its pretty simple really. I'm surprised nobody has ever thought of it before.
You know how they say never stick your hand into a snowblower, ever?
Well....basically, I don't stick my hand in a snowblower...Ever!
It sounds as easy as it can be, but every year people do it for some reason and WHAM!..out comes a bloody stump and suddenly they can't turn a doorknob any more.
That's what broomsticks or other peoples hands are for!
These are probably the same people who stick fingers in boiling water to test it before dropping a lobster in.

Oh, What the ladies will say....
The gal who was sitting with me said, and I quote " All I know is, if I had a penis, I certainly wouldn't stick it in that box"

I Love Blogs
Some days, I'll pretend its something really funny and laugh and laugh.
Other days, I'll pretend its the obituary of a close friend and cry. Not because I'm sad, but because maybe it's actually the obituary of an old friend and I'll never know because I'm too lazy to learn Japanese.
Once, I acted as if they were movie reviews of my favorite movies...and they were all bad reviews. I remember going on and on about how they missed the little nuances because of bad translation of the subtitles.
Other times, if I'm really in a mood, I'll act as if its the long lost Constitution of the City of Atlantis. Geez, what were those guys thinking? Cities don't float.
That's when it gets weird. Or it would if anyone was actually watching me.
Cats...Who needs 'em?
Did you ever figure that the only way to get back at him for his holier-than-thou attitude was to purposely run out of cat food and take three days to go buy some more?
And then, did you ever come home with the food, let him see it, and when he followed you, did you ever go to the toilet and pour the food right into it and say "If you want it so bad, go get it!"?
And when he reached for it, did you ever flush the toilet and secretly hope that he'd get caught up in the whirlpool?
Huh? Did you?
And later, when he got out of the house and got killed by a car while you were at Home Depot, did you all of a sudden feel like you were being kinda petty?

OFF! Spray
It's some kind of spray and on the can it says it protects kids from Incest.
Has it become that big of a problem that we need a spray to ward of these freaks?
We should probably just spray large areas at a time like we do with mosquitos and other insects....
Oh, wait.
Insects. I read it too fast. That makes much more sense.
Forget I said anything.

New TV show idea
What if we make a show where we de-bunk all of those myths? Think about it. It would be huge. We can get a few guys and set up the myths and see if they'll hold water.
I figure we can call it Myth-Debunkers. I bet Discovery Channel would love it.
Finally, an idea that will work.
I've invested my life savings into video and production equipment. And I'm moving to California so I can work year 'round.
Awesome. See you on the flip side.

Etiquette for men in a public bathroom.
- When entering a men's room, you can talk to your buddy right up until you get through the door. After that, all communication must come to an abrupt stop. End it...right then. DO NOT follow your friend to the urinal to finish the conversation. It's weird and the guy next at the urinal next to your friend won't like it. He and your friend will probably get stage fright.
- When standing at the ready, you are allowed to unzip your fly and undo your belt and open the front of your pants. DO NOT drop your pants! The back of your pants should look like they're still zipped. Why? Nobody wants to see it.
- Look down or up. That's it. Don't look side to side. With any luck, they'll have either a TV or a newpaper page. Don't read the other guys page. You'll be accused of being gay. Harsh, I know, but that's the way it is.
- DO NOT speak to your neighbor, no matter if you know him or not.
- Please don't overshake. It makes us uncomforable. Above all, don't lean or step back to shake. Incidental eye contact down there has caused a lot of trauma in the past.
- Make your way to the sink. Only then can conversation begin again. You've reached the safe zone. Enjoy it. Revel in it.
Following these simples steps can help you avoid unwanted ass-kickings.

"How to attract women with low values"
I'll be chatting up some chick, being incredibly charming as usual, and they'll ask what I do for a living.
"I'm a Pornographer", I'll say, while batting my eyelids.
Then they'll say, "Did you say Pornographer?"
Me: "Did I"?
Hot Chick: "Yes, you said you were a pornographer"
Me: "That's weird, because I really meant to say pornographer"
It goes on for hours until she finally has had enough and sleeps with me.

Stupid liquor laws
That's called marrying the liquor bottles and in Massachusetts bars, it's illegal for some reason.
Unless of course, those bottles are gay.

Pepsi...Helping a nation with their math.
It seems to be moving into the education field. I was shopping today and walked by the pile of Pepsi 36 packs when I noticed something.
It said "36 pack- 50% more than a 24-pack".
Keep in mind that it didn't say "36 for the price of 24" or "50% more FREE"
It was simply stating the fact that 36 is exactly 50% more than 24.
Who knows why. Maybe to give you something to talk to your dentist about when he's pulling all of your rotted teeth
Or... maybe those go to some of the school districts with funding problems.
I'll bet they fill their vending machines and then send the boxes off to the math teachers.
Unless you're a very powerful stock broker person or simply fell on a headset and it got lodged in your ear so deeply that removing it would result in your instant death, you don't get enough phone calls to require you to have it there constantly.
I'm sorry, but take it off.
I can't believe I've let this go on.
When figuring a countertop overhang for people to sit at, we generally like to have 12" of legroom. However, space constraints sometimes require that we shrink that space a bit.
So I'll tell my customers, mostly women, that while 12" is ideal, we can do 10" or even 8". That's when it happens.
"Show me what 10 inches looks like".
Sigh.
One of these days...
This is really curtailing my eating, especially since my favorite meal is ice cube salad with cold water dressing.
So, I tried some home remedies that I made up.
The first was to eat tons of ice cream so as to make me immune to the cold. As you can imagine, that didn't work.
The second, blowing compressed air onto it, just sent me into fits of rage. I didn't really do that, but I can imagine that it would hurt a great deal.
The third thing was to visit a dentist. What did he do? He blew compressed air onto it to be sure. I didn't really need that.
I'm having it repaired next week. Should be nice.
I came home from work once and my girlfriend at the time was cooking dinner and what did I see? A bottle of Summer's Eve feminine wash.
My first thought? "I'm not putting THAT on my salad!"
Right next to it was a 2-pack of douches. Now, I'm all for doing things as a couple, but I have to draw the line somewhere.
Now, I don't let them come inside at all, because that would be crazy. Even if they didn't mean to, I'm sure they'd spray accidentally. I know this because the same thing happens to me with flatulence.
So I keep them outside under the porch. They come out to play once in a while, usually when nobody is home and the yard light is off. I think they play a game called "Here Kitty Kitty, let's see who's the tough guy now!"
I'll catch them in my headlights when I return from wherever I was, which was probably some very important meeting with the head of something.
I'm usually greeted by a rear end with a tail in the air, which I assume is the skunk equivalent of "Hello, there! It sure is nice to see you!"
Tonight they were in the yard, so I went inside and yelled to Linda "Come out and see the skunks. They're asking about you!"
She said " Nooooooo!", which I assume is the Linda equivalent of "You're an idiot and I'm not bathing you in tomato juice when you get sprayed!"
So it's me, Linda and my pet skunks. They'll be pets right up until I get sprayed. After that, they'll be the "damn things what drank all that antifreeze that day".
How did I change? I'm glad you asked. I simply learned to accept certain things.
I learned to accept that I am obviously the best driver in the whole damn world. Why else would I get so mad at everyone else's stupid, friggin' driving. I mean, if I drove as bad as that f***ckin guy in front of me.."Hey, if you're gonna turn, take the motherf'n turn"...I probably wouldn't notice it.
You should try it. It's very liberating. Of course you'd be living a complete lie because nobody is a better driver than me. Just ask me.
Sooo...since the commercials say that they're very absorbent, I opened up a bunch of Kotex pads and spread them around down there.
Not only will my basement be dry, but it should also end up smelling as fresh as the morning dew.
I passed a billboard today that said "Come to Six Flags! Now double the fun with 2 new rides!"
Now, I'm pretty good at math, but even if I wasn't, I'd be able to figure out that if you're doubling the fun with two new rides, then you'd only have had 2 rides to begin with, right?
And that does NOT make an amusement park. If it did, every parent who rents a pony and a jumpy-thing for their kids birthday could qualify for whatever tax advantages being an amusement park brings.
So, change the sign Six Flags. Technically, the amount of fun you're adding really depends on how many rides you have in the first place and is a percentage thereof.
Maybe you could change it to "Increase your fun by 1/32 with 2 new rides"... or something. Probably not as catchy, but at least it's honest.
Looking back, I guess it wasn't really going well at all. Other than Pulp Fiction and Star Wars, it's been mediocrity right along.
I was singing his praise for his role in 'Driving Miss Daisy', but it turns out he wasn't in it. Apparently, that was Jessica Tandy.
His latest, called "Snakes on a Plane" has got me perplexed. Guess what it's about?
Here you go. It's about SNAKES!... SNAKES ON A PLANE!
I KNOW! Who would've guessed?
Since I'll never see this movie, I'll have to extrapolate the plot from the trailers I've seen.
Sammy appears to be some kind of agent. Probably a secret one and he's probably doing one of the following:
- Protecting a witness to something, maybe a jaywalking violation
- Transporting a prisoner. A lone agent transporting a dangerous criminal. I'm sure that actually happens a lot.
- Posing as an airline food critic to get a free ride.
This is where it gets interesting. Somehow, snakes end up on the plane (See title of movie). After that, you can imagine how innovative the plot gets.
They must have thought that the movie was SO good that it didn't need a catchy title. I'm going to bet that they were wrong.
Some ideas that didn't make it past the intensive title screening process:
"Boa, Boa, Boeing?
"Andy and the Airborne Anacondas!"
" Coffee, Tea, or...Oh My God! Snakes On a Plane!"
Hero opens the plane door and snakes get sucked out the opening. Hero looks at sexy flight attendant. "See...I told you snakes can't fly".
Better yet, he opens the cockpit door and sees a snake on the pilot's lap. Naturally the pilot is dead. The hero looks at the Co-pilot and says "Wait a minute, Snakes can't fly".
That could be a little comic relief. As much comic relief as you can get on a stupid snakes-on-a-plane movie, anyway.
It involves reverse psychology. I'm planting some new plants and I'm going to treat them like weeds. It seems cruel, but what do I have to lose? Plants? I mean, it seems to work perfectly well on children.
I'll just walk around the yard, mumbling things like "Boy, I sure do hope that those things don't grow. That would ruin everything! They're probably too dumb to grow anyway. Yep, you stupid plants can't even grow right. Probably don't even know what photosynthesis is."
By then I'm sure I wont be able to hold it in, so I'll just run away to start giggling, maybe hide behind a tree, reveling in my superior intellect over the plant world.
So, to review my plan of berating the plants to get them to grow.
Juvenile? Yes.
Will it work? Probably not.
Will that stop me from doing it? Definitely not.
There are also several reasons why I want to live in Hazzard County
- Every bush or shrub has a ramp next to it.
- If you commit a crime and the cops are chasing you, all you have to do is lose them and you're off the hook. If I was the cops, I would have just gone to the Duke's farm and waited for them to come back. I never got why they didn't do that. Probably not as exciting.
I said several, but I keep forgetting them. I'll add some more when I go out drinking next.
- The human body is indeed a beautiful thing. Unless it’s 20 lbs overweight and stuffed into a Spandex Spyder suit on race day.
- The human body can also be a very noisy and smelly place. That body inevitably belongs to your roommate.
- Wait long enough and you’ll eventually see every member naked….unfortunately.
- Girls. Fun. Drunk girls. Even more fun. VERY drunk girls. Not fun. Especially when they yell at you because you don’t understand SLUR.
- Guests don’t understand the phrase ‘Pace Yourself’. See #4
- Skiing/Snowboarding is the perfect cure for a hangover. If only the lifts would open at noon.
- The ride up is definitely more enjoyable than the ride back.
- Sleep is for the weak…or the very drunk.
- Rules are meant to be broken, especially the one where you can’t mess with someone if they’ve made it to their room.
- My definition of quiet and someone else's definition are actually quite different.
- Never pay full price for your equipment or lift tickets.
- ULLR is the Norse god of winter or snow and ODIN is the god of summer. Not many people know that. And except for a few days in November, nobody really cares.
- Earplugs can be your best friend. So can a lock on your door.
- Whipped cream is a delicious dessert topping….and a key ingredient in most pranks and sexual activities. You should, however, get a separate can for each and make sure they’re clearly marked.
- If you haven’t done the ‘walk of shame’ at least once, then you need to rethink your game plan.
I was watching a show on the Discovery Channel about people who are in the witness protection program.
Now, it seems to me that if I was in the 'Program' (That's what those of us in the know call it), I'd do my very, very best to keep it a secret. Chances are that I'm not in this program for doing something very nice to some even nicer people.
Here are some other shows I'll expect to see shortly
- Serial killers who got away with it. See where they are now.
- My house, My Methadone Lab
- Cheating the IRS is easier than you think. Look how it's done
How? Well, let's just say, the website address for Dick's Sporting Goods is NOT www.DICKS.com! If you don't believe me, Click on it.
Well, chances are that I'm not the only one, so I've come up with a new enterprise that will surely bring me a bonanza AND keep everyone in puppy-dom.
Puppy Leasing!!!
That's right, I said Puppy Leasing. I can charge a monthly fee, maybe $29, and provide people with a puppy.
When the puppy is grown, we take it and provide a replacement. It can be the same type or you can try a new breed. It'll be great.
Of course, I'll have a whole crap-load of adult dogs to deal with, so I'll probably just end up killing the damn things. It's pretty obvious that nobody wants them anyway. Otherwise I wouldn't have a thriving business on my hands.
But, as usual, I'll take a lot of shit for this idea.
"I don't think people will like this"
"That's disgusting"
"Where are your pants?"
Fine! I'll only charge $19 a month.
"Old-time sayings closely examined"
This segment was going to be called, "English Idioms Rebuked", but to be honest, I had to look up both Idiom and Rebuke to make sure it made sense. Just to be thorough, I looked up English as well.
I was correct but since there are few people with my grammatical prowess, I had to dumb it down a bit. Otherwise people would get angry and not read.
- A Penny saved is a Penny earned- Not at today's interest rates. That would be 100% return on investment. My bank barely gives me 3% on a CD. Why? Because if they gave me a penny for every penny I saved, they would be out of business, that's why.
- A Bird in the hand is worth two in the bush- I don't know why, but this saying makes me think of sex.
- Don't look a gift horse in the mouth-Did people actually give horses as gifts at some time? If I did get a horse and it was almost dead, I'd certainly look it in the mouth. It's the same as giving me moldy muffins or cake. Now I have to throw it out instead of the gift giver. Not so bad if its delicious pastry, but I don't know where to dispose of a horse. Keep it.
- Curiosity Killed the Cat- Not my cat. She was definitely curious to see what was outside, so curiosity may have helped in my cat's death, but it didn't actually kill her. I'm pretty sure it was the right front tire of the car that finally did her in. Curiosity was simply an accessory.
- Go to Hell in a hand-basket- ??????????
- Let sleeping dogs lie-I guess the thing here is that if you wake up a dog and he starts talking at all, you should be pretty amazed. If he's lying, get over it. He's probably still groggy. I would just call Fox News and get someone with a camera over there as fast as you can.
- The apple doesn't fall far from the tree- Probably very true. Unless it's during a hurricane.
It said "Regrets Only"
"OK" , I thought. So I responded thusly,
Dear Meredith,
I regret:
- Not buying Wal-mart or Microsoft stocks way back when
- Not acquiring more property ten years ago.
- Letting my cat out that time. She got hit by a car.
- Turning down a chance to get in on the ground floor of a coffee shop. What the hell is a Starbuck anyway? Wasn't he on Battlestar Galactica?
- Plastics. That's all I'm going to say.
I'm still going to the party, but I don't know what she needs my regrets for. Does the person with the most win a prize. Let's hope so. Maybe that person gets more booze.
I can pretty much assume that there will now be a place in hell reserved for me.
Check it out.
Phone sex/weather lady: Thank you for calling. What's your name?
Anonymous caller: Mike... I mean Paul.
Phone sex/weather lady: Well Paul, what are you wearing?
Paul: Just my underwear. And I'm touching myself.
Phone sex/weather lady: Well, Paul, you better put on a parka, because it's going to be cold and windy in Haverhill for the next few days.
I'm pretty sure I hit pay dirt with this one.
They look so much like us that there could be Canadians in our country as we speak, living among us, plotting.
Plotting what, I'm not sure but brrrrr....The thought of it sends chills down my spine.
Canada: Pros and Cons
Pros:
- Free healthcare
- Free luggage carts at the airport
Cons:
- Too many Canadians
- Expensive beer. $47 for a 30 pack. I almost thought about not drinking any. Almost.
- That weird lady at the gift shop. You know, the one whose left eye would slowly open and close while she spoke. Quite odd, don't you think?

I find that the only proper way to show that you care is took get real drunk and give prizes to people who are equally drunk. It certainly beats flying to Asia to pick up the pieces, I can tell you that.
At any rate, I saw the epitome of irony. You know what that is? Irony is when the person who wins the teeth whitening prize (value $300) is the seventy year old lady with dentures and the person who wins the gift certificate for the hair salon shaves his head.
I wonder if the dentist offers drop off service for her teeth. That would be convenient.
Those other guys were probably much, much faster than me. It's the same reason I didn't make it my attempt to play pro baseball. I failed my tryout because I don't throw, catch or hit very well.
I'll make up items she'll surely not find. Like my dignity. Or a passenger side rearview mirror for a car that never actually existed.
- Computer Solitaire Stand-in- I'll play solitaire for you. This will allow you to get your work done and since I play non-stop, I'll keep your win/loss ratio respectable.
- Lackey-About to get in trouble for something? I'll take the blame. Fee can be adjusted to suit the situation. Got caught leaving a strip joint? Blame me. Naturally, anything that I would face jail time for is unacceptable. For now.
- Fast Food Taster-Actually my friend does this on an unofficial basis right now, so I'll sub-contract him. Essentially, this service entails him trying whatever new fast food offering emerges and advising you on it, thereby saving you lots of time and calories.
- List compiler-Need a list? I'll make one. Whatever it is.
- Designated Driver- Limited Availability. Monday-Wednesday and maybe an occasional Thursday.
- Pet Grim Reaper- Got a family dog that's old and sick? Does he need to be put down? Or are you just regretting that promise you made to buy Timmy a Vietnamese pot-bellied pig if he ate his vegetables? I'll do what needs to be done. A couple of options are available. I can simply take the animal to the vet to be euthanized or I can stage an elaborate "car accident" to completely alleviate you of any blame and guilt.
It's rude and it's selfish and I'm tired of it.
Like the old lady in front of me in the deli. Listen lady, the deli guy has no idea how much 3 1/2 slices of domestic ham is. A few aisles later, I had to tow one of those cool battery powered carts to the front. There had been an accident. Luckily, no one was injured, but someone had fled the scene. There's an APB out for a Blue haired woman about 3' 6" tall and shrinking.
Food
- Cool Whip as a Meal

- She doesn't understand your porn collection. Women for some reason do not understand our need to look at porn. They think it’s much more deeply rooted than it is. Ladies, simply put, it’s pictures of people having sex. Enough said.
- Leaving incriminating things around as a joke for her to find. Why doesn't SHE think it's funny?
- Your caller ID WILL get you in trouble. Clear it immediately.
Pets…What’s cool and what’s not.
- To me, cat’s are cool. To others, cats belong with old ladies. Dogs are more complicated, however. Should you get a big German Shepherd or a Pit Bull? Some would say you’re compensating for something. However, if you get a toy poodle or a Shi-Tzu to prove that you’re secure in your manhood, you’re opening yourself up to a lot of laughing and finger pointing. Don’t even think about gerbils. Ask Richard Gere. Go get a fish tank.
I don't want to start scarfing them down because that would make me a pig.
Yes, eating pie just for the sake of eating pie makes you a pig. Pie was meant to be eaten as a dessert.
Therefore, I've been making up meals to eat prior to devouring another pie. There's breakfast, post-breakfast, warm-up lunch, real lunch, and cool-down lunch. Then we move onto interim meal, insert-name-here meal, faux dinner, quausi-dinner, prelude to dinner, dinner-dinner, epilogue to dinner, dinner wrap-up and then finally one more pre-bedtime pie, I mean, meal.
I assume it's because I'm a single guy, but to be honest with you, I don't think it would be very difficult.
None of my siblings had any idea how to raise a child until they had one either and I'm convinced that they still don't.
Sure, I'll have to baby proof my place a little bit, but I'm willing. I'll probably have to shut down the flame-thrower obstacle course and the showering fountain o' glass, but that's no problem.
I've got plenty of games and activities planned, too. Games like "Mystery Knife", "What's in THIS Bottle?" and "Fork in the toaster".
In case you're wondering; rope CANNOT be cut with a power saw.
I know! I was just as shocked as you are. At first I was scared. Scared in the way that you get when you're looking at your hand to make sure all of your fingers are there. THEN I was shocked.
And as I stared at the saw I thought, " You know, in theory that should have worked."
Then I used the knife in my pocket, but only because I don't have a hatchet and my chainsaw was outside.
I can't proof read another page and I am really sick of picking colors. I don't know how God did it.
If I was God, I can tell you that about nine things would have had different colors.
After that, Enough! It's all gray! Everything! Maybe I'd go back and change things when I woke up, but I doubt it. Color blind people wouldn't appreciate it anyway.
I read one the other night and under hobbies/activities, some chick wrote...skiing, reading, and people watching. Excuse me, but people watching is not an activity anymore than blinking is. Otherwise, you could put anything down and it makes you sound busy and interesting.
"Well, I really like to breathe. That's incredibly rewarding. Staring into a corner? I can do that for hours. But when I have lots of time to myself, I like to grow my toenails."
"Well, there's a reason for that guys. Sorry, I can't buy the game for you. I'm going over to the liquor store though. Do you need any beer or cigarettes?"
Sometimes the good in me just HAS to come out.
I tried to call her earlier in the day, but couldn't reach her. So, naturally, I called at midnight.
I didn't remember at all and she figured that out during the course of our conversation the next day. "Do you remember talking to me last night?" she asked.
That was followed by ten seconds of silence. "No... maybe...kinda" said I. Then there was a laughing sigh. "Don't judge me!" I yelled.
Obviously she hasn't been camping or she would realize that there is NO way to stay sober when all you have to do to occupy your time is to play horseshoes.
And what am I going to do during that? Not drink? I don't think so.
Nowadays, people who like their beer that much have to go to meetings and apologize to everyone they've ever met.
After watching Anna Nicole Smith Revealed, I believe that's exactly what happened. Her family is a bunch of toothless, rednecks with horrible grammar. They are either really skinny or really, really fat.
When I say toothless, I'm serious. I don't know where their teeth went, but they're not where they should be. There is a reason that she changed her name from Vicky something to Anna Nicole.
So let's recap. If you want a really beautiful daughter who will be a stripper, pose in Playboy, make a video of her playing with herself, marry an 80 year old billionaire who's on the brink of death, then get really, really fat and dumb after he dies, get a TV show which magnifies her immense girth and stupidity and THEN will get thin and hot again, but will stay dumb, I would suggest swimming in your own gene pool. It's weird and risky, but that's the price you pay for fame, I guess.
Obviously, number one is the goodwill we tend to have towards each other...Blah, Blah, Blah. What I really like are the commercials. Christmas and Valentines Day are the only time you'll hear ads on the radio for Elizabeth Grady Skin Care Salons.
I don't know why, but something about hearing "Treat your loved one to a facial today" over and over just makes me crack up. Maybe its just me.
If you want to call, their number is 1-800-FACIALS. Don't dial 1-900-FACIALS though. It will cost you $6.95 a minute.
The average keyboard is pretty biased towards the average person with an even-keeled weight. If I were over, say 300 lbs., I'm pretty sure my sausage-like fingers would be too large to hit the keys with any accuracy.
Any sporadic, ill-received funny thoughts would come out like adkfjad! Aglj;lakg, Jlkag;l kjh jh,;ka.jdflkjas!!!!! Who would laugh at that, even if it were remotely funny? Which it was, believe me.
I suppose I could use a pencil in each hand to peck at the keys, but the speed I've developed over the years would be reduced exponentially. Plus, it would undo everything I learned in typing class in High School and I don't want to disappoint Miss What'shername. She'd roll over in her grave, if she's even dead yet.
And you cant do the home row thing with two pencils. I suppose I could attach a pencil to every finger, ala Freddy Krueger, but it seems like way too much work, especially since I'm fat at this point. And what if I had to go answer the door.
What would you do if some guy answered the door with pencils taped to his finger? Run! That's what you'd do. Unless you needed something signed, in which case it would be pretty damned convenient, wouldn't it?
It probably wouldn't even come to that, because I'm pretty sure I would be very unable to open any door with hands like that. Unless it was a revolving door, but that's just crazy talk.
No, Its easier to lay off the donuts and Suzy Q's once in awhile.
Great news for them, but at first I thought they said that Gay marriages were required, which made me pay attention. "Great", I thought. "Now I have to find a gay to marry."
Luckily I listened a bit more and found that they were just merely allowed , not required.
Whew! How can we go a step further? People should be allowed to marry themselves.
I think Id make a good partner for myself. Think about it--I've known me forever, I'm my own best friend and I think I'm spectacular looking. Not to mention that the sex is top notch.
No need to worry about domestic violence, because even if I did get in a fight with Me, I certainly wouldn't hit Me.
Even if I did, I probably wouldn't press charges. Neither one of me wants to spend a night in jail.
Does anyone know where to get some?
I'm not sure what Id use them for. At first, Id have them clean the leaves in my yard, then maybe hang around to keep the kids from walking on my lawn. The thing is, when you have henchmen, its usually because you're:
- A Mafia Don
- An evil scientist
- One of Batman's arch enemies.
- Bored, with a lot of big friends who are also bored.
So there is usually plenty of henchmen-type duties to go around. My Henchmen would probably get tired of guarding my mail and the 1967 Orange VW Bus in my yard and would probably start shooting things soon enough.
Maybe I can start by getting some evil minions. They seem to also do what ever you want, but they have their own homes and insurance.
The courts threw out the case because McDonalds never claimed that the food was good for you and he just should know better.
Well, I bet that guy found all his court documents and is now erasing, with his very sausage like fingers, every reference to "McDonalds " and replacing it with "KFC".
Their new ads come dangerously close to claiming that the shit is actually good for you.
And if a dude would sue McDonalds because he blames them for making him fat, then there's a fair chance he's squeezed into a KFC once or twice.
But I have to tell you that I find it hard to take pity on a women who says "I put on all this weight when I was pregnant with the baby and I CANNOT lose it!" and her "baby" is next to her. Only he's 6'2" and he's wearing a UCLA sweatshirt.
How do I know? Comedy Central had become VH-1."Hmmm....How Odd.", I thought, figuring the Paula Abdul documentary HAD to be a Saturday Night Live skit.
When it failed to become even remotely funny, I changed the channel thinking,"SNL should get some new writers".
So I flipped to TBS, the Law & Order channel. There was one of those Trading Places shows on. "Well.....now THIS is unsettling."
On and On this went until I found myself curled up in a fetal position next to the couch, crying "Mommy, Mommy, why is the TV hurting me?"
That's when I found the new lineup card they had sent 2 months ago.
I love the way I can get any information I need. I mean any!
If I need to find out something about the way our government works, or some financial advice, or maybe find a way to help starving......you know what, come to think of it.... it's all the porn.
I was out with a friend the other night having a few drinks and we got up, ready to leave.
She still had half a glass of wine, and I found myself saying "You are NOT leaving this table until youfinish that, young lady!
Don't you know there are people in China who are sober?"
1. Cut my hair
2. Perform a vasectomy on me.
3. Paint the trim in my house.
4. Shave me.....anywhere.
5. Bring me a very hot cup of coffee.
What a load of Crap!
If Life gives me lemons, I keep the lemons in the hot sun for about 3 weeks until they get really soft , rotten and smelly.
Then, when I see Life walking down the street, whistling a catchy tune......Wham!!!!
Right in the head! "There's your goddam lemonade, Life!" What a jerk that guy is.
It had all the basic questions...Name , address, favorite Brady kid.
Then I got to the one.....Check here if your sex has changed.......
Then it went on to say
Change sex to __ M __ F
WHAT?It happens often enough to include on a license form?
Just put it back to the old way, which I assume was leaning over the counter and saying " I used to be a dude, but now I'm a chick."
While not technically a cure, you provide a few minutes of accelerated heartbeat bliss, making me feel JUST a little less like throwing up.
So I raise a 20 oz. bottle to you, and to Pepsi, from which you sprang. Keep pumping it out, for I DO NOT want to stop drinking.
Sunday, April 22, 2007
Well, actually that was the problem. In order to go in the store, I had to actually PUSH the door open!!!! With my arm! Can you believe it.
No Auto door.
Combine that with the fact that I'm convinced their UPC scanner is making me sterile, I've got a mind to cut my shopping there down to "Once in a while"
Maybe they do it just so they remember my relationship to them, but I really think that they've forgotten my name.
Not once have I heard them call my sister "daughter". Not once.
Being called "son" is only one step up from them calling me "Chief" or "Pal".
Maybe its payback for calling them "Mom" and "Dad", but that's how I was taught.
By them, no less!
"Why don't we kiss for awhile? Id like to be touched for awhile" That's the woman speaking. Not me.
Its not that we don't want to. We just don't operate that way. Its the way we do everything. When I go shopping, for instance. If I need pants....I go to the store.... I go right to the pants department. I get the pants. I go home.
I'm not Superman you know! So after I wash the dish and bring the mail to the kitchen table, I finally get some ME time.
Stress will get to me someday. Oh, How I dread it.
As far as days go, they serve no purpose. They haven't developed an identity like the other days.
Monday, while hated by the world, is the beginning of the week.
Wednesday is hump day.
Thursday, for the most part, signifies the beginning of the weekend.
Nope, Tuesday does nothing for me. It reminds me of cousin Oliver on the Brady Bunch.
You tolerate him while he's there, maybe even pretend to like him.
But really, you just wish he'd leave.
Home Alone * (* equals whatever sequel # it is.)
Like theothers its set at Christmas.
This time however, Kevin is about 21.
He's notstuck at home, but rather at brothel in Vegas.
And he's alone, except for all the whores.
Since I'm not a transvestite, don’t live in a trailer park, or a Grand Wizard for the KKK, I think the only way to get on is to get fat. Really fat.
Cant leave the bedroom fat.
Take down a wall to remove me from the house fat.
Once I'm on the show, I'm sure I'll be able to lose the weight quickly.
Or I could pretend I'm a teen gone wild and go to that boot camp they have. Whatever.
That's what the guy in the Sanford & Son-like truck asked when he pulled up next to my weekly pile o' trash.
"Throwing what out?" I queried, looking back to see if I had mistakenly thrown out my cherry armoire.
"That old grill" said the old man.
"No" I began, leaning into the window. "This is how I appraise the value of my belongings. You see, I put them in front of my house and see how many folks come by to look at it."
Detecting my sarcasm, he started pulling away, muttering something about me being a mule or donkey. I waved and yelled "Bye, Bye, Fred. Say hi to Lamont and Aunt Esther!!"
I like to go in to a restaurant and say something like " Do you have Michelob?" "Yes, We do." "Good...Uhm, I'll have a Bud light." By me not smiling at all, it makes them feel as if they've missed something.
Or I'll ask if they know how to make a Rum and Coke.
All you can eat BBQ Ribs. All I can eat!!! I got nice and full. So, I go back today to get some more and they tell me its only for the one visit! I thought it carried over.
Suddenly, not so great of a deal, huh?
So, to that end, I've decided to take up smoking.
I'm going to take it slow though. I've purchased some of that nicotine gum and later, I think I'll get on the patch. It wont be long before I'm up to a pack and a half a day.
My ultimate goal is to have a nasty hacking cough that seems to be missing from my day.
If it works, I'll package it into a system and sell it on late night TV.
Then I'll start working on a similar idea related to alcohol.
I'll be the Ron Popeil of bad habits.
I was watching an old one, Magilla Gorilla, and it occurred to me..How unrealistic is this.
Now, I don't go pet stores a lot, due to my ineptitude towards caring for anything that needs me to feed it, but I'm pretty sure that not one of them has, or ever will, stock a full grown gorilla. Let alone a talking one with a bowtie. And he's been there for as long as I can remember!!
That Mr. Peebles must be a very , very bad business man if he doesn't realize the value of that ape.
Wow, if I had known that I would have cut it down to twice a day.
The next thing you know, alcoholics will be suing Seagram's because there's not a warning label that reads " WARNING! Drinking our whiskey all day, everyday may be detrimental to your liver, life, job, family, etc".
Every time there was another bike coming the other way, the rider would wave.
I'd wave back...with my middle finger.
Why did they do that? Just because we both were on bikes?
When I'm walking down the street people don't wave and say "Hey, your wearing pants!.. I'm wearing pants!" Dumb.
When that happens, I like to do something wacky and dangerous.
Just last week, I made chocolate milk with almost TWICE the recommended dose of Hershey's syrup. Wow! Talk about feeling alive!
Next time, I think I'll tape a Sox game and disseminate portions of the broadcast without express written consent.
Is it to fool us into thinking they're in shape.
Here's a little test. If you put them on and they become translucent from being stretched, go back to sweat pants and those nice, loonnng t-shirts I've heard so much about.
It sound like it works, except for the side effects... Sweating, flatulence, diarrhea, urinary disorders, confusion, and... Anxiety.
Just what the anxious person needs. More anxiety!
"Wow, what a great party....Oh, no did I just crap my pants? Maybe no one will notice. No, that was piss. I just pissed myself! Maybe I'm just sweating. I'll just leave quietly. Where's the door. Did I come in that way? FFFAAAARRRTTTT!!!! Oh God, Oh God.
No sirree, I would just stick with my one mania and stay in.
It was a simple shirt that read like this:
Female Body Inspector
Can you imagine the chicks I could pick up with this shirt?
Here's the way I assume the interaction would go. First, a distraught gal would come up to report some sort of crime. Naturally, she would think I was the fuzz due to the shirt.
When she got close enough to see the small type, she would laugh and laugh.
"My goodness", she would say, " Isn't that clever."
We chuckle a bit and then I'd take her to the real police. There was a crime after all.
Then perhaps we'd have a light lunch and a drink, followed by a blossoming relationship.
Wont that be dreamy?
Well, if you ask the local petroleum companies, its getting a whole nickel off of a gallon of super unleaded.
Well, Mr. Sunoco, that's not enough to impress me. Now, if a Koala Bear came out and pumped my tankful of discount gas...THAT would wackify my day!
Maybe TV is to blame for my high expectations.
Her picture was spectacular, so he emailed her.
She replied with what I can only be describe as random, erratic thoughts.
She also included a link to her own "page".
That page, ladies and gentlemen, was a porn site. I hope they'll be happy together.
Maybe I can find one like her. Sigh.
Man, this thing is great. Now all I do is "swift" this baby around and it cleans the house.
If it doesn't pick something up, I don't worry. I just leave it.
I mean if something like a rotten apple core posed a threat, the people over at Swifter would have developed the thing to retrieve it, right?
After all, who cares more about my housecleaning than some anonymous electrostatic engineers?
But I won't ever say that to their faces. Just in case.
Survival of the fittest!. Read a book for Christ's sake!
We all know what would stop this madness...Let the Priests fornicate! But, since Catholics would never go for something that radical, I've come up with a simpler solution. Give Priests special Bibles. They're old, they won't know. You could put in special subliminal messages.
Watch:
Book of Genesis.
1] In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
[2] The earth was without form and void, and darkness was upon the face of the deep; and the Spirit of God was moving over the face of the waters.
[3] And God said, "Let there be light"; and there was light. Then God said "Don't molest children. And there were no children molested"
That last part could be in subliminal ink, whatever that is. Do I have to think of everything?
