Sea Bass, Poker and iPhones: Random Thoughts

  • Power walking is frustrating because if I go any faster I’m running and if I slow down then I’m not doing any work.
  • Who would win in a fight between Mary Tyler Moore and Suzanne Pleschette in 1974? What about if they fought now?
  • Girls should stop sticking out their lips like sea bass in pictures. You have lips; we get it.
  • Potato salad is always good. but could usually use some more mayonnaise.

  • I had a moustache in my 20’s and I loved it. I wanted to grow it back for years but was prevented by Powerful Forces. Now that the Powerful Forces have gone away I have grown it back. I hate it.

  • Even if you had pizza for dinner last night, if pizza is suggested for tonight, you say yes.
  • It’s odd there has never been a president named Smith or Jones, but two named Roosevelt.

  • Whenever I want to watch sports on TV, all the sports channels have poker on. At the same time. It’s not a sport!

  • No matter how many apps you put on your iPhone, it’s still just a telephone.

  • If you need to smoke a cigarette so badly that you would drive with the car window open even in a torrential downpour, you might want to think about getting The Patch.

  • Why don’t I write stuff down when I think of it? I forget so many significant insights.

You didn't hear that from me, though.

Danielle said...

Totally agree with the pouty lips in pictures. I HATE that.
Need pictures of you and your stash please.
That is wierd that no President has been names Smith or Jones. Hmm never thought of that.

I don't know about an iPhone, but my BB is my life support. If I leave it somewhere I can't breath or think or reason or anything until I have it back and I am sitting in the corner hugging and petting the thing.

Trooper Thorn said...

Ed A: It will be our little secret.

Danielle: "President Jones". It has a nice ring to it don't you think?

Coffeypot: It sounds like you need to start smoking.

Cocotte said...

Um, I thought Suzanne Pleshette died? Then I guess Mary Tyler Moore would be the winner?

Mariah said...

Your google ads are cracking me up!

Mala said...

That may be true, however to be a phone there must be some requirement that it can place, receive and maintain calls. Which mine does not. Bastard.

Jaina said...

Mary Tyler Moore. Hands down. All the way.

WannabeVirginia W. said...

So true about the lips! It looks ridiculous.

I've never wanted to make out with a sea bass this much in my entire life...

Cocette: Then Vegas better give good odds before anyone takes that fight.

Mariah: Are you saying that Google is funnier than me?

Mala: That's too bad. You should get yourself one of these: http://blog.une.edu.au/knash/files/2007/04/old_phone.jpg

Jaina: Mary is going to make it after all.

WVW: It makes you want to snap a clothespin on them.

Not-So-Eligible: They might have a chatroom for you on the Web.

Schmutzie: Cool. Thanks.

Farmers Wife said...

Well if I had lips like Angelina Jolie, I would pout too...besides the fact that my husband would be extra happy..

Trooper Thorn said...

Farmers Wife: I would have thought your husband was more of a Jennifer Aniston guy.
