The Essential Mystery of Hey Look A Shiny Piece of Foil

What kind of day it has been: when I came in to turn on my computer, I was so out of it that I not only got “control-alt-delete” WRONG, but the computer put up a helpful screen to teach me how to do it right. I’m morbidly overeducated; I’m my department’s “go-to” guy on computer problems, and I can’t hit three keys at the same time using both hands and one extra appendage.  That’s just sad.

What I see when I’m confused and thinking too quickly with too little of my brain:

* The shy-looking girl on the bus seemed too demure to be wearing a shirt emblazoned with big letters that read “HUSTLER.” Plus, it was a thick dark sweatshirt, not really very revealing. Plus, turns out it said “WHISTLER;” I just couldn’t see the whole thing.  And in the end, was I disappointed?  Well maybe a little bit…

* The guy on BART wearing the sweatshirt that said “Naughty Jesus Commands You” was actually really wearing a sweatshirt that read “Nautica Jeans Company.” But I like it better my way.

* The truck on the intersecting highway that was owned by the SNO Transport Company needs to put a bigger space between the initial acronym and the word “transport.” The phrase “SNOTRANS” doesn’t fill me with confidence in their services.  You don’t even want to know what it fills me with, but it ain’t confidence.

On a final note, I’d like to mention that, if you want to live in a city with a really silly name, I don’t think you can do much better than Flin Flon.  And now it’s time for me to go home and see how my cold medicine works when I’m lying down.  I can tell you now that it makes me pretty easily distracted when I’m sitting up.

I feel your pain. I pulled up your site and it said “Hummer on the Bus” and I went and turned down the lights, flipped on a little sexy music… and then, well…

false advertising, my friend. false advertising

i always sort of wanted to live in medicine hat.  you know, because it would be so cool to write that return address on your enveloppes every time you sent a letter.  :)

must have Naughty Jesus t-shirt of my own, off to get magic markers immediately

HEEEEEEEEEYYYYYYY...I left a get well comment and now it’s disappeared...booooo.  I even said you were funny on account of all those meds your taking....not that your not funny normally but the “drug-funny” is special!

Sorry to hear your feeling down. I like my cold medicine. I think that sometimes I may hang out with sick people just so I can get ill and take some. Hey anything that can make you feel that good can’t be all bad now can it?

I like the idea of a naughty Jesus too, sad it only turned out to be jeans.  Do you mix up your vowels when you type?

Thanks, y’all, for boosting my energies when I was down with a sinus cold.  The medicine was entertaining enough, but it was the tivo’d southparks that got me through it.  Yesterday turned out to be pretty damn good.  Excellent work, my friends - you are better than wal-tussin any day of the week, and though that may not sound like I’m saying much, that stuff packs a pretty intense kick!

And in California you can’t mix your vowels but you can get a license to let them cohabitate.  it’s the closest we get to promiscuity in these harsh lands.
