So he came in late, reeking of whiskey among other things . . .

I had a professor in graduate school that was really proud of his ability to diplomatically insult someone. You know the type of comment. For example, everyone knows the guy who tends to get on your nerves, provide utterly useless input or is just a generally disliked person. But, you wouldn't want to trash talk someone at work either to their face or behind their back. You never really know if that trash talk will get back to them. And heaven forbid you trash talk your boss and it get back to him.

So what do you do? You say something like, "Oh yes, he's an interesting person," or perhaps, "He's very unique." Those are socially acceptable ways to neither degrade nor compliment someone and remain, for the most part, neutral. Of course you know that the context implied to interesting or unique is comparatively applied to the freak show at a traveling carnival. But that's okay! As long as you didn't say something like, "Oh yeah Bob, he's a real jerk-off!" you'll be alright.

Today I became the unwilling recipient of unwanted information so mundane and positively boring that it immediately crossed my mind to blurt out, "You should blog that!" Of course I didn't. But I should have. I think it's much more subtle than the, "Well I'll sleep better tonight knowing that," or, "That's more information than I needed," responses that are often accompanied by laughter. You want people guessing. Is he serious? Is he joking? Is he making fun of me? So from now on I think that's how I'll respond when someone tells me something I would otherwise ignore completely. I'll tell them, "You should blog that!"

Of course the secret is to use it sparingly. Use it like a master chef uses his secret spice to make each recipe a savory delight. Do you have a better or favorite one? Leave it in the comments . . .

This is what I felt like when I walked out to my car after work yesterday.



In other words . . . It's hot in Topeka. But . . . it's better expressed in this video. Use the link if it doesn't show up for your browser. It's been around for about a year, but it's still funny.

The video of the day . . . laugh and enjoy

And on my off days I wrestle bears - from the random photo series

As a parent of two kids over the years I've had to write several notes for the kids to take to school. Sometimes, if I can, I'll just call the school. Eventually, however, some kind of note will have to be written. Usually, and almost without fail, I get reminded in the five minute window between the time I'm scrambling to get everything I need to take with me in the morning and the time we actually head out the door. So, you can imagine that I don't proofread the notes. I just scribble something on a scrap of paper. I can only hope that the end result that is read by someone at the school doesn't find my scribblings as illegible or stupid as the one's I found today. A few hilarious examples:

• Please exkuce lisa for being absent she was sick and i had her shot.
• Carlos was absent yesterday because he was playing football. He was hurt in the growing part.
• Please excuse pedro from being absent yesterday. He had (diahre, dyrea, direathe), the sh**s. [note: words in ( )'s were crossed out] .
• Sally won't be in school a week from friday. We have to attend her funeral.
• Gloria was absent yesterday as she was having a gangover.

Laugh till it hurts.

I couldn't help but share this picture ( obviously doctored a bit ) of the latest innovations in playground equipment. ( Note . . . unfortunately I can't take credit for this one )

It's no wonder the kids came home smelling funny.

Imagine if the project was a tree swing. What would the end result be and how would it be interpreted by each member of the project team. See for yourself.

How to be funny without being stupid.

Sometimes I find Sonic Commercials very irritating. However, I came across this website in which you mix your very own Sonic Blast and make TJ drink it. Kinda funny. Maybe not? Oh well.

Spice up your conversation with some of these..

Here are thrity-two fun ways to tick people off.

This is a funny little movie. FYI, It requires Quicktime.

From the greatest thinkers of our time. Words of wisdom. Words to live by.

It would have been funny if the music kept playing after they blew up the newspaper box.

The confusion: the Los Angeles Times rack was fitted with a digital musical device designed to play the Mission: Impossible theme song when the door was opened.

What a riot!

While at Digg I came across this test.

"This survey itself measures only one thing -- whether you subscribe to the ideas of a 16th century Italian political philosopher." "High Machs constitute a distinct type: charming, confident and glib, but also arrogant, calculating and cynical, prone to manipulate and exploit. True low Machs, however, can be kind of dependent, submissive and socially inept."

I scored a 71. Go figure?

I stumbled across this test today. At this website you are offered the opportunity to draw a pig - with your mouse - and the results can tell you about your personality.

This story via Snopes. The story on Snopes suggests that these were not accidental images caught in the reflection. Evidently there was a group of people "accidentally" revealing themselves. My only question. Why couldn't it have been a hot chick?

... cruise on over to RealFunnyVideos and watch this video. It is absolutely hilarious.

Could this be a resurgence in the hunt for bigfoot? A Cree Indian claims that his video is footage of Bigfoot. Inside Edition has a team of researchers heading into the Great White North to find Bigfoot - so we can rest assured that this will be given a great deal of scientific attention.

BMWs must be pretty cheap in British Columbia if one can decide to ram apartment buildings with them. The story here. I would rather cruise in a BMW.
