My dad worked in Norwalk, CA for a while. He was a psychiatric technician at the state hospital there.
Speaking of California, I hear that the wildflowers are blooming now in Death Valley and that they are REALLY spectacular this year because of all the rain. There is actually a Death Valley Lake right now.
I’m in California and the wildflowers are blooming. And that reminds me, I heard Orlando Bloom is working on the next two Pirates of the Caribbean movies back-to-back with Johnny Depp.
Speaking of the Caribbean, damn I wish I were there. I’ve had just about enough of this winter crap (yeah, I know it’s technically Spring…try telling that to my thermometer).
Funny you mentioned winter crap Hal, because my daughter has a serious stomach virus, and it has caused her body to attempt to expel said virus at all costs, and in all possible ways.
Speaking of expelling crap, I recently tried Colon Blow, and let me tell ya, that stuff works! One piece of advice, though – do it when you’re on a long weekend.
I like mashed potatoes. A lot.
Colons? They always look pretty pretentious. I prefer the semicolon for quick remarks.
Speaking of a lot, half the property the house I’ve lived in for seven years is just a bare naked lot . . . except for the tumbleweeds and a couple of joshua trees. I can clear out the tumblers, but the joshua trees are protected – and ugly.
Aren’t semicolons exactily half an alimentary tract?
Speaking of alimentary tracts, has anyone managed to locate a live link to the “Jack Chick does Cthulhu” spoof (“Who Will Be Eaten First”)?
Speaking of eating, has anyone tried the new camel burgers?
Speaking of Camels, what’s with all the fancy flavored tobaccos they’re selling now? Any smokers out there actually tried them?
I’ve been wanting to build my own smoker latley. The store-bought ones cost too much. I saw plans on the web for building a smoker out of a metal grabage can, a grill to held the meat, a thermometer, and mesquite wood chips. I would really like so good smoked beef jerkey or maybe so slow cooked barbecue.
Funny that you happened to be talking about metal garbage cans Shagnasty, because I had a dream last night that I was stuck underneath Oscar The Grouch, and he wouldn’t let me live his “home” until I sang “I love trash”.
Actually, I find the semicolon pretty pretentious. But not nearly as pretentious as that one girl who’s always squeezing SAT vocab words into situations. I mean, seriously. She’s the epitome of superciliousness.
Also: Am I the only one who sees “epitome” written and always wants to pronounce it “EH pit OHM”?
You can see a similar pan here. I’ve never eaten a penis shaped muffin (penis muffin? Is that an oxymoron?), but I’m certain they’d taste fabulous.
Funny you should mention dreams, RancidYakButterTeaParty. I dreamed two nights ago that I was pregnant again and my husband was trying to kill me.
Speaking of colons and semicolons, I got a comment on the paper I got back today: “colon needed to make this more dramatic.” Damn it, maybe I could have gotten a better grade if I had read this before writing my paper.
I always say it like that too. If you say the syllables from back to front you get “OHM pit Eh”. Get it. Its like some guy in the hood walks up to another guy and says “What’s that smell?” looks at the other guy and says “OHM pit Eh”. This stuff just writes itself.
Speaking of sleep, I can’t really remember anything that I did between saturday night and monday morning. I’m not sure if my memory’s going or my weekend was just that boring.
I think I’m one of those obnoxious girls who uses a lot of SAT words. I don’t try to shoehorn them into sentences on purpose, it just sort of happens, I swear! I blame it on reading. I also think that I use commas too much. I don’t know, is it better to use too many commas or too few?
