> [@fetus](#): > > I didn’t have lunch today. I just snacked on crackers and cheese, then potato chips. Whenever I try to slice potatoes thin enough to make chips they’re usually way too thick, at least 1/16", because I try to use a regular kitchen knife to slice them. Does anybody have a slicer that makes really thin chips? ---

I like the high quality clay chips much better than the palstic ones, especially because I like to fiddle with them during poker games. ---

Ya know there’s this song in the movie Easter Parade where Judy Garland plays the fiddle. She’s pretty good at it too. Although it’s a short song. Susan ---

The last time some of my relatives came to visit, they brought their annoying yapping Pomeranian. It kept us up all night, with its’ constant barking. ---

When my girlfriend was in Las Vegas last week with some friends, said friends had sex all night in the hotel room the night before they were going to drive back, and she didn’t get any sleep. ---

> [@fetus](#): > > When my girlfriend was in Las Vegas last week with some friends, said friends had sex all night in the hotel room the night before they were going to drive back, and she didn’t get any sleep. David Lee Roth told this story once: One night I woke up to the sound of a woman pounding on my hotel room door. It was after midnight, so I went back to sleep. A couple hours later, the banging woke me up again. It was after one in the morning, so I said “Keep quiet” and went back to bed. Finally when she woke me up at 3am, I’d had enough. I said “f\*\*ck it” and let her out. ---

They turned it over to a rescue organization, which noticed that the owl was stoned! They named the bird “Cheech the Screech.” It was rehabilitated and released. ---

They turned it over to a rescue organization, which noticed that the owl was stoned! They named the bird “Cheech the Screech.” It was rehabilitated and released. When I saw _Blade Runner_ the first time, I really wanted that owl. I also liked the snake. And I’ve been hoping our local Asian food mart would have those noodles. We already have some of those square base drinking glasses so maybe the owl won’t be too hard to get. I guess I need to look on eBay. ---

I look on EBay quite a bit for radio transcription disks, but they almost never are up for auction. ---

I don’t mind them. They’re decently palatable if you smother them with butter. ---
