Grammar lesson of the day: a preposition is something you should never end a sentence with.

That reminds me of a joke, this guy is on the campus Harvard for his first day of college.  He stops another guy and says, "Excuse me, do you know where the library is at?"

And the guy haughtily replies, "At Harvard, we know not to end a sentence with a preposition!"

So the first guys, "Oh, I'm sorry.  Do you know where the library is at, a***ole?"

Although she's annoying, the mother on the show Jon & Kate Plus Eight is rather easy on the eyes.

I've often thought, "Man, I wish my car had Gatling guns mounted on the front of it!"

The only motorized vehicle worth driving is a tank.  According to my 19 y.o. son.

I have to go on a two day "Keeping Safe" course tomorrow, which I am dreading as I have to do "role-playing".

I actually got dressed today ( I felt motivated)

Then I drank some coffee...

Then I drank more coffee...

At noon, I went to a bar...

I had a cocktail and came home...

Back in PJ's by 2 o' clock....

Gee, how can I handle such excitement....

I've been playing Fable 2 lately, having started it a week ago, and I noticed it's pretty much like The Sims with 100% more killing. 

Not that it's a bad game, but holy crap is hard to stay married.  I had something like five marriages go south, the last one ending in me killing my spouse in the middle of town square because I was tired of hearing about divorce. 

At least you can make a killing on property in this one.

I always get the whole seasonal effective psychosis thing in January.
And then, I start to understand why all the other characters hated Marvin, The Paranoid Android.

I thought it was kind of hip when rap artists started using their initials instead of their names.

I can dig it when disk jockeys decide that names like Electric Light Orchestra, Orchestral Maneuvers in the Dark, & Stone Temple Pilots are just too long, & start saying ELO, OMD, & STP (though, the whole BOC thing didn't quite work out for Blue Oyster Cult).

I could understand when Colonel Sander's Kentucky Fried Chicken shortened their name to Kentucky Fried Chicken, & I could empathize somewhat when they shortened it again to just KFC.

But calling Dr. Martin Luther King Jr's birthday MLK day is just plain disturbing.

Naaaah, , the power to weight ratio sucks, there are many vehicles more fun to drive than a tank.

Also, I know of a way to make the credit/debit card thingy at the checkout counter of the grocery store crash, reliably. When it happens, they have to get a manager to reset the machine, which takes several minutes. Great for those times when rude-@$$ed tourists are in line behind me and being their typical rude selves. Just my way of P!$$ing them off just a little more. .

My wife helped her mother clean out her basement today and she found her old Beanie Baby collection.  I wonder what percentage of land fills have those awful things in them.

You know, you could probably do a pie chart with that, Pogs, Giga Pets, and Furbies.

When I was in the Army and single, living in the barracks, one of my roommates had a bunch of those "pound puppy" dolls, supposedly given to him by his girlfriend. After a night of drinking, the other roommate grabbed a handful of them, because we were out of toilet paper. I remember the guy who owned them, not knowing what had happened, complaining "The white one is missing, where is it?". It was there, it just wasn't white any more.

One of the few things I know is that if all else fails in an ethical dilemma and your moral compass is spinning, "right" is ultimately what gives the most happiness and hurts the fewest people.

Did you ever really not care?

So, tomorrow, everybody I know is making this pilgrimage to my birthplace to witness the reenactment of something that occurred four years ago, which they didn't particularly care about four years ago, or the four years before that, or the four years before that, but suddenly started caring about yesterday.

Meanwhile, I'm staying here in the former capital of the Confederacy so I can help them tell their story to a few folks downtown.

If the town's gonna be half as empty as they're saying, it sounds like the perfect day to attempt some form of criminal activity, but I think I'll check out Circuit City instead.

So, the prefix in- can mean an overwhelming measure, while simultaneously meaning the prevention of something...
So, does inauguration mean super-auguration, or anti-auguration?
I always thought an augure was a tool for poking holes in leather.
So, does this mean they're creating a hole, or taking a hole that's already there & making it bigger, or removing a hole?

Again, Did you ever really not care?

As I was walking into the grocery store tonight, the police arived.
Everybody stopped what they were doing to see what mischief was afoot... except me.
Am I the only person on the planet who doesn't feel some overwhelming urge to wreck their car, just to see what that firetruck's doing parked over there on the shoulder?

I hope everyone had a happy MLK day.

Really, really gross...
