  • The Best Quote I’ve Seen Today

    AT is a riot! His Bonnaroo posts (and Rich’s) made me long for some live music.

    Man, you people. I got sick of twitter before any of you started with it! [Source]

  • Laundry

    Would someone kindly explain to me why bras don’t have laundering instructions on them?

  • Of Grasshoppers

    Student: I live in Catch-22.
    Master: Perhaps you should try non-fiction.

  • From the mouths of babes

    With such inexplicable timing and totally out of the blue:

    Amy sings: "Always look on the bright side of life. da da da da de de de de da."
    Amy: "Dad, I heard you sing that once."

  • Regardless, Backyard Ballistics looks cool

    Glenn! If you trick me into clicking on another Amazon link again, I’m going to have make jokes at your expense at the next Blogfest!

    Here’s my wish list with my affiliate id!

  • Of Grasshoppers

    Student: I keep making mistakes.
    Master: Have you tried doing something different?

  • Is the iPhone out of your budget?

    Don’t worry. Apple will release a new iPhone within your budget soon. Imagine, the iPhone Shuffle! Randomly call people.

  • The Button That Beeps

    From now on, everything I make is going to have one of these.

  • Of Grasshoppers

    Student: I have failed my family.
    Master: Are you going to quit?

    They will take your land. They will take your money. And you will pay them to do it!

    Land taken with E.D. by the state and potentially fully built by the state with your tax dollars. [Source]

    Update: I’m not sure I understand this statement: "They cause more accidents, more delays, more gas and more road rage." I have used toll roads as a passenger or driver most of my life and they have always seemed fine by me. Matter of fact, they are always in better repair than other roads. The only trouble I have ever seen is in approaching an unmanned toll and not having any change.

  • That Grass Looks Green!

    On days like today, I can’t help but think maybe I do need a real job!

    I can’t imagine anything "the they" could throw at me which would be more demanding than what I currently do.

  • How’s life?

    Sometimes I want to post intimate details, no not those kind, of my life but to do so would really overstep the bounds of good taste and common sense. I work as an independent consultant. It is a terribly difficult way to live but offers great rewards (otherwise, why do it?). I think people would find the challenges I face intriguing; however, clients relations could be damaged and friends and family would turn up the frequency of the "why don’t you get a real job" question. Psst! Hey Spanky. I’ve got a real job!

    We tend to live a feast or famine lifestyle; not much of a middle ground. I know! I’ll write a book. It can be published at a later time when the information will not result in harsh criticisms from those who cannot see the long term benefit of the present day suffering nor will it compromise my relationships with clients and locals.
