I really hate it when the CD you're listening to starts to skip while you're in the shower.

On the other hand my new soap is made with basil and mint. I smell delicious.

Maybe if you didn't bring it into the shower with you, it wouldn't have that problem. surreal
superscott:
dude that pisses me off so bad. the worst too is like when you get in and you're about half way into your shower and it starts skipping.

i never know to either get out or to let the cd just work itselfs out.

So, lessee, today I:

Dodged flying sheet metal on the freeway.
Watched a one-handed roofer ply his trade.
Didn't win the lottery.
Ate pizza twice.
Discovered that my shower head apparently costs $500 (thats just the head, mind you) and wastes 12 gallons of water a minute.
Shopped for a new shower head.
Pondered the viability of the secondhand shower head market.
Discovered that while...

cursed british engineers
discovered my sparkplugs are made of unobtanium
pondered the necessity of removing the freakin' cams from my engine to adjust the vavles
found aftermarket replacements @ 1/5 the price for the OE fuel filter, air filter, oil filter, oil, etc etc.
cursed british engineers again for good measure

Today I...

...spent the morning cleaning my Yugoslavian AK-47 knockoff (semi-auto, of course)

... was interrupted by my neighbor coming by to ask if our cable TV was working and who, upon seeing the rifle, asked me why I owned such a thing

... answered "When the time comes, Allah will tell me"

... saw him get a funny look on his face and leave rather abruptly

... wonder if I shouldn't have said that, given that the neighbor's son is a Suffolk County police detective.

I have become enamored of flags as of late. Actually thats not entirely true, this is a recurring affection, at least in the the theoretical sense. My problem is that I like the idea of flags, but am, in reality, far too disorganized to actualize this particular pretension. The 1908 46 star flag? Bookmarked, but unpurchased. The Fredonian flag. Sung of, but unflown.

I think...

Nerd Flashback: i used to have almost every major countries flag commited to memory because when i was younger because i used to spend hours playing 'Where in the world is carmen san deigo'

in that game you were following all the theives around and one clue you always could get was to be shown the flag. i became a flag wizard.

Fun fact: the study of flags is known as vexillology, from the Latin vexillum (a type of flag used by Roman legions).

Many people consider this a subset of the more traditional study of heraldry, and in truth there is considerable overlap as many national flags have heraldic influences and origins.

Fun Fact: It's A Small World is infinitely more tolerable with an iPod and The Jam turned up to 10.

Try it and see!

Personally I like Indiana Jones with an ipod and It's a Small World turned up to ten.

And I'm not dignifing your comment with any kind of snarky response. Suffice to suggest you drop me a line when you next are on monkey patrol, what with it being in the neighborhood and all...

So, I'm getting ready to go out of town with my youthful charge and I realize that in order to fold up the stroller I must first remove the beer bottles, both empty and full, from the bottom.

That doesn't make me a bad parent, does it?

Do you think if I insisted that everyone call me Honeyboy it would stick? I haven't had a good nickname in awhile and you slack bastards aren't exactly rising to the task of bestowing one.

Nah, probably not.

I'll settle for Soda Pop, though.

If I ever start an experimental music combo, I'm going to name it "Screamin' Jay Hawkins Shits his Pants."
brainfromarous:
Already taken. My brother's Nu-Ro Dixieland jazz/death metal acoustic Chinese-Dutch performance art troupe called themselves that during their recent tour of phonebooths throughout Scandinavia.

Nice try, though. How's the house repair coming?

i'd go see that band in a heart beat.

I'm not sure if its this "new" New Orleans, or the old one, but I can't help be quite amused that the local WB affiliate shot a whole series of "I love New Orleans" PSAs:


A) Quite obviously not in New Orleans, but outside the mall in Jefferson.
B) Featuring (in multiple spots) a young lady with a hickey the size of my fist on...

The tragedy of the internet is that there is utterly no reason to talk, or listen to anyone that disagrees with you.

Today, I am no longer an Orleanian, I am a Louisianan.

Blame a Republican.

Yuh, Mein Libe Tokhter.
