Distractions
![[mail]](img/envelope.gif){kind=small}
You are too pretty. It is very distracting. Please think of others. Remember how you walked past that man the other day and he turned and walked into a wall? You may not realize this, but people do not often walk into walls in everyday life. If they did… more »
bikers, cyclists, & pedallers
Jim Bergman once said bicyclists should properly be called "cyclists" rather than "bikers."
This is good but sometimes linguistically awkward.
I say bicyclists ought to be called "pedallers."
(Not to be confused with peddlers. Those no good che… more »
Questions about cake
Why are there no funeral cakes anymore? Why is this event not commoditized by the baker's guild?
Cake is a standard at every other event. Did bakers find it was unwelcome to price gouge on the cake served at a funeral? When funeral cake was discontinued… more »
Tell us about yourself in relation to others
Men love me. Women Love me. Dogs and Cats love me. Ducks love me.
Certainly you’ve factored the Duck demographic into your calculations?

Abe Lincoln, theater critic
"Our American Cousin" is a terrible play. Abe Lincoln took the easy way out... Read it. See if you can make it to act III, scene 2.
Actually he should have walked out. He lasted until Act III scene 2. This is taking politeness to an unheard of level.… more »
See/Hear
Man, 50-55, sitting outside borders books, on a bench, repeating as a mantra, “Thinking out of the box. Thinking out of the box.”
It is so hard these days to determine whether someone is speaking to themselves or if they have a device plugged in their e… more »
Remember
Last time I saw use of the word prophylaxis it was an album title by J Church.
I think that's about as common as even the world's most casual user of marijuana using the term "Mary Jane". more »
Glory
Usually when I pass this sign my brain, which I allow to do all my reading for me, reads this as "Gloryhole." Or at least it did the first time and recalls it ad infinitum, as it is wont to do.
The first time I thought "What an odd name… more »
McCain Plan vs Obama plan
I believe McCain will start a league of super villains in order to facilitate the emergence of a strong-or-"super" man.
The villains are already there. He will just have to convince them to join a formal league. Sadly this will be like herding evil c… more »
Plant a tree to change the world
I planted a eucalyptus tree a few years ago to attract koala bears. The tree is getting larger now and I look out the window frequently waiting for the inevitable arrival of a koala.
I know what you're saying, "what are you going to do with that koala b… more »
Sign, significance of
This is a [[en:neon sign]]. [[en:Semiotics]] is actually the study of the significance of this particular sign; however, the language has become so complex describing this [[en:phenomenon]] that even those who study Semiotics now fail to recognize this f… more »
End Times Literature
I read "The Time Machine" and I know how it's going down. I much prefer TTM to Revelations for end-time literature. How come no one hands out [[en:H.G. Wells]] door-to-door? more »
Economy at a dead standstill
In the U.S. people still receive credit offers and/or sales and marketing material years after they die.
This is cutting edge capitalism, addressing economic problems through initiative-
Problem: People don't spend enough money after they die.

Monkey Do
Flinging monkey feces as a way to express dissent: Long practiced by our cousins in the animal kingdom, this act has been unfairly overlooked by modern man.
I guarantee- you fling monkey feces at whomever you’re aggrieved at and you will get a reactio… more »
