So I was playing Zoo tycoon when this realization hit me: " If I wanted to get a pet to match my hair, I could get an Irish Setter, a Finnish Spitz or an orangutan. One of the dogs would probably be easier to get and less messy, though." What random thoughts have you spawned today? ---

I haven’t had any random thoughts today (I’ve only been awake for about a half an hour) but I know I’ll have some on my way to work. Someone lost a shoe on the entrance ramp to the highway, and I pass it every day. I always wonder about the chain of events that caused that shoe to wind up on the side of the road. It’s a women’s strappy silver platform shoe, and I have to wonder…did she chuck it out the window? Was she a passenger? Was she the driver? How do you loose one shoe? ---

My boyfriend and I have been together for 10 months today. Which reminded me of when we started dating. Which then, for some as-yet-undisclosed reason, made me think of cabbage. I have no idea how cabbage has anything to do with May 20th, 2001, but I’m sure there’s a deeper meaning to all of this. ---

Random thoughts: If I saw something that was obviously not supposed to exist (demons, monsters, aliens, smurfs, talking dogs, etc.) and I killed it, would I get in trouble? What if it was coming at me, could I kill it then? You did say random. ---

The way they water vegetables in Food City is really nifty. But the cucumbers and lettuce ought to have a dance routine to go along with the song. jessica ---

My most random thoughts came as a series: Wasting time while studying, I idly picked up one of my books about Druidic traditions and thumbed through it. Random thought #1: How could anyone memorize all this? Especicially without the benefit of books or notecards. It’s all too much. Pondering further, I realized that it wasn’t that much at all. If I can store endless pop-culture trivia and plot details of TV series, the invasions of Ireland really shouldn’t be that much of a problem. Random thought #2: Humans have been the same for thousands of years. There must have been people with the inclination to become obsessive film/book/TV/whatever geeks centuries before any of these things existed. What did they do back then? Endlessly ask storytellers to repeat their favorites and pick through the plot points? Gossip constantly? ---

Random responses to your random thoughts: **elfkin** : A Finnish spitz? **auRa** : Cabbage is a much under-rated vegetable. **Tranquilis** : Butter. **lno** : Do you think anyone’s ever done it in Haiga Sophia? **Loopus** : “I’m not running for President, am I?” **JessEnigma** : There’s a cucumber that sings and dances in Veggie Tales, but I don’t think there’s any talking lettuce. **PT** : I betcha a donut **DDG** could find you a pic of bungee-jumping squirrels if she wanted to.
