I like whales. One of these days I’d like to go whale watching.
Isn’t it fascinating how whales can keep warm in very cold waters thanks to the thick layer of blubber that insulates them? Speaking of blubber, I enjoyed reading Judy Blume’s books “Blubber” years ago.
You’d think, living in the ocean and all, whales wouldn’t need washing.
Washing - well, that reminds me of taking a bath, and so I wonder: will the Dallas Cowboys completely screw up this pre-season game against the Cardinals? And, come to think of it, why am I watching it?

So who else has got that Blonde Over Blue song stuck in thier heads, now?
Don’t get me started on TV sports. A friend of mine is a meteorologist who spent a fortune for the qualifications, and makes only half the money as the dumb as rocks ex-jock sportscaster.
Speaking of the Cardinals, the Cubbies have a trade pending with Texas that would get them Raffy (Viagra Man) Palmiero. Could be a winning move in the NL Central!
(The worst part is, I can’t really remember the tune all that well. My brain is humming to itself over the words it can’t recall.)
My “friends” at work always sang really crappy songs cuz they knew songs stuck in my head, just to mess with me. ("I’m on the top of the world, looking down on creation…) 
Carpenters. Hmm, that reminds me. I need to hire a carpenter to build me some bookshelves.
I’ve never built bookshelves, but when I took Wood Shop in junior high, I built a bookstand for my mom. She used it to hold her cookbook open while she cooked.
My mom is the best cook ever, IMHO.
Speaking of cooking, who here watches the Food Network?
Do you suppose that cannibals ever cook their Mothers? “Mmm, Matumbo, your Momma sure taste good!” :eek:
Well I have never seen the Food Network. I do have a friend that works in a pizza shop though. What’s everyone’s favorite pizza? I myself like SMOG, sausage, mushroom, onion and green peppers. And this one time … oh wait … no … I remember we got a pizza sent to our house once and we didn’t even order a pizza!!! Has weird stuff like that ever happened to any of you? I bought a new bike today, it’s only a five speed, do you really need any more than five speeds on a bike? I wonder how long it will take the pizza guy to get here? Has there ever been a study on how long it takes pizzas to be delivered? Wait … somebody’s at the door … brb …
Ever have someone ring your doorbell, so you answer it and no one’s there? Turns out it’s some kid who thinks he/she is being oh, so clever and funny. Yeah, you’re such a terrific comedian, you ought to be in entertainment! Geez, what an original hilarious prank! Darn kids! grumble, grumble
According to this Doug Hougen invented the doorbell.
Any Dopers here invent anything?
You mean other than excuses for calling in sick to work?
Speaking of work, who here really enjoys what they do for a living?
Ever watch that 1980’s sitcom It’s a Living? It was about some waitresses. I used to work as a waitress to help pay for my way through college.
My niece will be starting college this fall. She’s nervous and excited. Her folks promised to take good care of her cat while she’s away. Her cat is a Calico, very sweet and pretty.
Ah, Calicos. I love the colors those cats have: white, black and rust. Speaking of rust, I have to get some rust remover. Better head over to the hardware store.
Well, I didn’t get my cats till after college. I’ve often wondered if it was a mistake and I should have gotten dogs. I dodn;t like going out much so I’d have to train the dogs to use a litter box.
Can you train a dog to use a litter box?
