Some comedies suck so bad that they eventually circle back around to being funny again. Unlike time, which can only suck in a straight line.
When the sax and strings Muzak version of Every Breath You Take comes on in the coffee shop, it’s time to go.
I burned that pizza perfectly. Not cheeseburned, though.
With votes from @gregash & @wisco, we’re rapidly approaching quorum. Someone get Obama on the horn, this is definitely shovel-ready.
I think nothing will rebuild this economy faster than creating a federal 3-day holiday every month. The 1st one is Beer Day. Who’s with me?

I smell like a delicate flower. I figure if the deodorant is strong enough for a man, then I’m man enough to smell like a bouquet.

Something should be known as the Ash Protocol, or maybe… Technique. It should either save lives, make people happy, or cause time travel.

Okay, what in the F, mac os 10.5.7? You aren’t even going to boot now?!? Bad update! Bad! Bad! #macos10.5.7

Feeling like a primadonna rockstar asshole. Pity the band who has to perform with me tonight. (That would be El Donk, at Mr. Roberts. Free.)
I suppose asking Mom to see Star Trek on Mother’s Day is a bit of a cop-out.
Would like to smack sites that auto-twitter for me. They’re the H1N1 flu of the twitterverse. Actually, they’re more like an STD.
Playing the Twitter speed-typing game at http://fast140.com - How fast can you type?
