It's what Tigger's do best

The happiest place on Earth provides all the world's parents and children all the joy possible from a cheap feel. I mean, what do people expect of people hired to sit in the sun all day in heavy wool costumes? It's not exactly a highly sought after position. I would consider that one of the perks of the job.

(before you (you being the one of four people who will read this) get all huffy, I am, of course joking)

If they made it

So you are asking yourself, what if Albert Einstein and Sylvia Plath had a baby, what would it look like? Perhaps this is it. Head of a genius, head of tragedy of life.

No jokes, just a thought about jocks

What bothers/bothered me about sports is that "great" players or those that are successful at sports are those that are the least sportsmanlike. The biggest ass, you know, the one who is most willing to hurt whomever else is out there, is the one who is lauded as the best. The one who's willing to spike another player when he slides into second. The one willing to throw a few elbows. The one willing to lead a tackle with his helmet. The one who uses his stick to hurt the other guy when the ref isn't looking. These guys are what is wrong with America. And you know why that is? It is because we let them. Hell, we encourage it. We teach it. We teach that sportsmanship, playing the game, having fun, is all secondary to being the best. And being the best requires you to hurt the others. Its sports by attrition. Baseball wasn't meant to be a game about impact or hurting the other guy. Its supposed to be about fooling the hitter. Now its about intimidating him by throwing at him. Basketball is supposed to be about shooting. Now its about dunking onto somebody or about bullying your way through the lane. I won't make any statements that hockey and football aren't about grinding, but at times its taken too far. Just my two cents on that.

Work is going better, but old habits die hard

A new office phone extension list just came out (we get one about once a month or quicker) and what was the first thing I did?


That's right. Checked to make sure I was still on it.

Instead of a felony, you'd think women would give him a medal

So, I like oral sex, giving and receiving. What does this mean? It means there are some States I shouldn't move to. A cop busts a couple for "crimes against nature" because he was performing oral sex on her in a car. The "in the car" part makes the case interesting, but the fact is, the statute doesn't deliniate between location of the act, it just prohibits the act itself. Hello, constitutional challenge. Anyway, for all the hub-bub that shows like "Sex in the City" and whatever show a female is in you'd think that every women's group would be protesting the hell out of this one. I can see it now... Signs saying "Laws like this were passed by men who couldn't stand to do their duty" or whatnot. You can probably come up with funnier lines than that, but hey, its the end of the work day. My brain left five minutes ago.

(Note: That first line should ensure that my mother never reads this site again.)
