NEVER JET HOT

Igoogle's "points to ponder" widget just stopped me in my tracks. Why DOESN'T Tarzan have a beard??

NORMALLY I don't post "family" stuff here; Leave us face it, if you don't know our family, it's like watching someone else's home movies of their trip to see the World's Largest Ball of Rubber Bands. Today I must break that rule. I was tickled to discover that daughter Daphne and her friends found a modern-day version of one of those "photo booths". Don't they look like they're having an absolute blast?

From a Bob Newhart Wiki page; "Whenever Bob Newhart was asked whom he admired the most as a comedian, he never hesitated with his somewhat surprising answer: Richard Pryor. Upon Pryor's death in 2005, Newhart paid tribute by calling him "the seminal comedian of the last 50 years."

This joke cracked me up, reminds me of a boss I once had... Johnson, who always shows up for work on time, comes in an hour late, his clothes a mess, all scratched up, his eyeglasses bent. "What happened to you?" his boss asks. "I fell down two flights of stairs." "That took you a whole hour??"

I have a great cell plan, 300 minutes, free data, free nights/weekends, the weak spot is that text messages are ten cents each. Now, I just don't use text messaging, my thumbs are only suited for hitchhiking, or operating the remote. Unfortunately, I suspect that the young lady that had my cellphone number before me DID use text messages. Or rather, her, ummm, suitors did. I get a GOOD MORNING message from some dude most mornings. I told him that he had the wrong number, but he cryptically replied "I AM SANTA CLAUS". This threw me for a loop... What if he REALLY IS Santa? My general policy is not to anger a guy who owns flying reindeer. But I digress. Today I got a 7am Saturday wake-up text message. I stared at it bleary-eyed for a moment, then burst out laughing. For once it might be worth a dime. Here's the sort of nasty joke my misguided stalker sent today; "Summer's Eve has a new douche made from Marijuana, deodorant, and Kentucky Fried Chicken. It l...

I just unsubscribed from the "lockergnome" mailing list, it's sort of a semi-geek email newsletter that sometimes has interesting stories relating to the world of computers, just the other day I got a great Windows add-on program for half off too. Unfortunately, lately he has been filling it with links attacking the candidate he does not want to be president. (Doesn't matter which one; I would feel the same either way.) So I unsubscribed, at least for the time being. I don't understand why people feel the need to shove their political views down each other's throats. While we sell parody bills of a political nature, they represent both sides of the aisle when I can keep them in stock. But I don't profess to a preference. The Restless Mouse is all about lighten up and have fun.
