More silliness

I find this comic exceedingly funny, as you may have guessed.

Seen on the road to adventure

A lot of the concrete pourers left their shingles on their handiwork back in the day. R.E. Mills is the only one I can recall finding in the city who left his phone number, too.

A few show tunes

(that last one is apparently played by Osama bin Laden?)

Laugh until you cry

That's what I did, here.

Here's a for-instance:

Seen on the way to work

If you love Jesus, seek justice. Anybody can honk.

More on bears & frogs

Like when there's a frog around, I don't have to hang my sandwiches from a fuckin' branch... A frog knows they are not for him. Plus, frogs are less likely to carry coins & screwdrivers.

Just below this item in the catalog is a "jerky gun," which looks like a grease gun that you smoosh ground beef and "spices" through to make jerky sticks. Gross.

I like to talk about the difference between bears and frogs

for one thing, frogs rarely race bees anywhere.

Deja vu explained

If you find yourself in Linens 'n Things and everything looks creepily familiar, I have an easy explanation, which is that as might imagine, corporate HQ hands out plans for how to display all the merchandise. I found these sheets amusing:



What do you do for a living? I arrange displays for stores around the country, all in my secret lab at headquarters. Sounds kinda fun...

windows and pivots know no decay

Because I have sustained injuries "during sportive exercises" I've gotten to see a lot more of the medical profession than I would normally choose to. Dr. Needles, besides using acupuncture, sent me home with a tiger balm-like liniment, which is a nice pain reliever and will maybe ease my nuisance-y shoulder. I got a kick out of the prose that came with the Drug Facts (hint: it is easier to read if you click on the image).

found objects

I love the little bits & pieces you find just by paying attention (or by buying oddball things).

Here's an ad from a classified section (maybe that of my place of employment?). I did not know you could buy a whole solar system for so little. I would have thought that $3,000 would maybe get you part of Pluto, or possibly some out-of-the-way moon, like Iapetus.
