Thinking about this Walmart problem and then...

Sometimes the quote thing at iGoogle pops up with a gem; "Rogues are preferable to imbeciles because they sometimes take a rest." - Alexandre Dumas ...but what about rogue imbeciles?

Buck up

Gee, maybe somebody should write a book, "Easy ways out"... I way trying to find an easy way to do something or another, I forget what, the google suggestions drop-down stopped me in my tracks... "Easy ways to die"? "Easy ways to get high"? I was expecting more like "Easy ways to get better gas mileage" or "8 Easy ways to avoid Sarah Palin"... I am truly saddened that people have gone to Google in a (presumably fruitless) effort to ease their burdens... But remember folks, "this too shall pass".

What was I thinking? Red Sovine

What was I thinking, didn't I know that the guy that sings a song as maudlin as "Teddy Bear" would have similar tricks in his bag? One actually contains the phrase "tears on my steering wheel"! gaaak

Don't mess with Santa, kid.

...I dug up Brenda Lee's "I'm gonna Lasso Santa Claus", I think it came out before her manic "Rock around the Christmas Tree" hit. In IGLSC, Brenda tries to pull some Robin Hood crap on Santa, I don't think that went over well. It's bad enough that she yanks on his beard.

If this is the worst problem today...

(NOTE: If this is the worst problem I have today, I figure we are doing A-OK) PROBLEM: Frank picked a bowl of apples from the tree in the back yard, and put it on the table. Someone (possibly me I admit) tossed my Aussie hat on top of that, and then Teresa bought some bananas and put those on there too. Left it there for two days, now my hat smells like fruit salad.

Helping a native girl tie up her sarong...

Just got this "Colonna" CD, mainly to get the classic cut "Bell Bottom Trousers (coat of Navy Blue)" - It's one of the few tracks I can actually listen to on this CD, the guy rrrrrolled his R's too much. The other one I like is, "Hey Barmaid!" (Can you guess why? No R's in it. Well, only one, safely in the middle.) I was hoping there would be some interesting tidbits about this guy, he looks like a circus strongman for some reason. But alas, sparse liner notes. Also I am having trouble ripping it to MP3.

Confucius could have been a Washing Machine salesman

Today's I-Google Confucius quote was; "It does not matter how slowly you go so long as you do not stop." Wow, I wish I worked for Confucius! The "team leader" at my "real" job is not so wise, he would be much better suited to run a chain-gang. And NO SINGING. Anyway, our new Novelty Radio Station is taking that slow but steady growth path, although I am not sure Confucius would approve the tunes.
