Words With Invisibility

  • Me: I love you, sweetie.
  • Daughter: ...
  • Me: Did you hear what I said?
  • Daughter: Yes.
  • Me: What did I say?
  • Daughter: You love me.
  • Me: That's right.
  • Daughter: I don't have to say it every time.
  • Me: I was saying it before you could say ANYTHING, so there.
  • Daughter: I'll say it when YOU can't say anything.
  • Me: You think I'm going to stop talking one day?
  • Daughter: Yes. When you're old.
  • Me: I'm already old, sweetie.
  • Daughter: When you're as old as Yoda.
  • Me: Talked, Yoda still did.
  • Daughter: Not when he fell asleep and was invisible.
  • Me: You'll still love me when I fall asleep and turn invisible?
  • Daughter: And I'll still say it.
  • Me: Daddy's going to go cry for a few years now.

Bacon Flavored Lube

I know I am sometimes prone to exageration, but I believe can say in total earnest that this is the greatest thing I have ever seen in my entire life. Really. Check it out.

Dunkin’ Donuts vs. Mister Donuts (Japan)

In favor of Dunkin’:

  • DD actually owns it’s own coffee plantation in Columbia (or at least they did back the mid-90s)
  • Cheaper
  • More variations with rainbow sprinkles
  • Combos
  • Donut Holes (sic)
  • The apostrophe in Dunkin’ rocks it
  • Sometimes has booths or counter seating

In favor of Mister:

  • There’s an actual picture of some old white guy (apparently “Mister Donut”) in every shop
  • No blended fancy-pants crap-u-chino - just coffee and au lait
  • Better old fashioned and filled varieties
  • Free refills
  • Good service (usually) with an actual smile (usually)
  • Points system redeemable for MisDo goods
  • Pretty much always cleaner than Dunkin’

Thoughts I’m Thinking as I Wait for the Delivery Guy to Show Up with my Stuff from Amazon

“What the hell is taking so fucking long?”

“I entered ‘Between 12 and 2pm” and here it is almost 2pm. It better be here soon.”

“It’s absoultely imperative that I be able to read these books today.”

OK, so I didn’t actually think that last one. There’s actually no rush at all. I just hate waiting. That’s all.

North Korean Democracy

I’ll always think of Kim Jong-Il as the lonely singling puppet from Team America. I’m glad his constituents unamimously approve.

5 Jobs I’m Glad I Don’t Have

Here they be:

  1. McDonald’s, Wal-Mart, or any similar ultra-mega provider of marginal employment.
  2. Telemarketing, call center, or IRS seasonal paper shuffler.
  3. Police officer.
  4. Anything that involves any form or amount of ass-kissing.

I can’t think of a 5th job I’m glad I don’t have. Really, I could learn from and enjoy almost anything that respects my humanity and intelligence.
