Highlights of My Day

1. Had a brain fart which was immediately followed by a real fart (see below for flavor)
2. Watched the Weather Channel for 12 hours in a row...memorized the weekend outlook for 15 major cities
3. Wondered if jet streams are caused by jets
4. Let my neighbors dog out...totally ignored the huge pile of shit on the living room floor
5. Got a phone call about some contest I entered last month using the name Herby Versmelz..."Hi may I speak with Herby Versmelz?" say it a few times
6. Told a taxi driver to take me to every Starbucks in the city...he said..."You quit fucking around now..and tell Icmabala where you want to go."
7. Met a taxi driver who refers to himself in third person
8. Started a new hobby of looking for people who are obvisously waiting for somebody, and going up to them and saying, "who are you waiting for?" and they say something like "Mike", and then I say either, "Ah, me to." and just stand there. Or "Yeah, Mike told me to tell you he wasn't gonna be able to make it today." and just walk away
9. Threw a rock at a couple riding a tandem bike
10. Outran a tandem bike

Lie of the Day: My grandma and a bunch of her friends invented the color hazel
Fart Flavor of the Day: Green beans inside a garbage truck
80's Name of the Day: Travels with TrapperKeeper

Yet another eventfull day. Man I wish I had half as much happen in my day as you. You think your farts smell, come on over and I can let you have a few of my son's diapers. Now that stinks! Some are so bad you can taste the odor emiting from them.

Taxicabs are my thing.

Dig 'em a lot.

I liked to be watched, don't ya know...

As long as the boy isn't wearing a turban it's usually a go.

Once he angles that mirror, however, I stop.

And, I don't know, if you've ever had the singing taxi driver, yet...but, he rocks. Though, I control myself when I'm lucky enough to get him. I enjoy his vocal enteratinment enough to curb my taxi fetish.

Fredo...the old pic was hot as fuck. Don't know what the fuck that shit is about. I miss the old one already, dude.

the Kuala Lumpur Haze needs action

Dear President:

It has come to my attention that many lives are constantly being wasted in our massive lust for control. We are aware that we do not care for the young, the old, or the unborn, but we have noticed that the living will waste substantial time by recurrently searching for a mythical 'justice' that can only feed the media.

In our constant search for improved methods for expanding our dominions, we have come to the substantial finding that we can now wage war without declaring it or even tell the enemy about it. What's even more appealing: the enemy might consider itself in an 'state of urgency', but it will only sit and chat about it with us. YES, SIR, YOU HAVE READ RIGHT.

I hereby support that, from now onwards, we attack our neighbours every 10 years (or earlier if the need should arise) by setting ourselves or our unimportant territories on fire and let them asphyxiate to their death while they go on chit-chatting with us about how to put out a fire.

YES, SIR, the uncivilized do not know how to put out a fire, and they truly believe that neither can we.

With best regards,
The Secretary

Have you ever played cab fire drill?
Step 1. Get some friends
2. take separate cabs
3. switch cabs at a stop light....
Watch drivers head explode

if 3 is un-achievable, meet at destination, switch cabs, get in and tell the driver to take you where those people came from.

ps. Do NOT pay first when switching cabs...this may result in 2 cabbies running to eachothers cabs also

Watch traffic back up but to busy laughing to honk

My 80s name today is a tribute to my favorite He-Man figure - FISTO. Now, in my adult mulleted years, I see that Fisto was a flaming homosexual (nicely trimmed beard, tight furry underpants, a purple striped chest plate AND a stainless steel fist that accomodates other attachments).

Tee hee, Fredo, if you mention HeMan, you cannot forget SheRa. However, I forget any of the characters, but I remember the cartoon and the "action figures".

I definitely do not mean to trivialize the tragedy, but, Echovillegirl, she is in a "coma", not in a "comma".
Coma: a prolonged state of deep unconsciousness.
Comma: Grammar -- a punctuation mark (,) that represents a slight pause in a sentence or is used to separate words and figures in a list.
