Post #100
Written by Dan
Since there's not much to report in the way of progress today, and since Friday tends to be this blog's least visited day of the week, I'm going to list off a few thoughts that I've had. Why? Because I can... and it's my 100th post, so give me a break.
- Why choose white shoes? Say it fast a few times and think about it.
- The word "kind" has always seemed strange to me. It's one of those words that the more I say it and write it, the more it doesn't seem to really be a word. This only happens when I use it in the context of "different variations," but not of "congeniality."
- Several years ago, I was driving my car when I came to a fairly busy intersection. The light was red, so I slowed down and came to a stop alongside an old minivan. The driver of the minivan turned his head and stared at me, as did the children in the backseat. I wrote this behavior off as being somewhat disturbing, but not enough to freak me out, so I instead focused my attention on the traffic light, willing it to turn. Once it turned green, I accelerated and began to move through the intersection - that's when I realized that I was the only car moving. Every other car around me, the ones in my lane, the opposing lanes, and all oncoming lanes, were at a stand still. Even more strange, all the drivers and their passengers were staring at me in the same manner as the people in the minivan. I continued on my merry way and came to the logical conclusion that all the people in the various cars at the intersection were actually time travelers. As it turns out, I become a person of substational historical importance in the future, and all the time travelers had paid enormous wads of money to travel back in time to that exact moment so they could watch me drive by in my 1992 Toyota Corolla. Simple as that.
- Whenever I say or hear the word "intersection", I immediately get a mental close-up of Richard Gere in his car slidding sideways in slow motion towards the camera.
- Arrested Development may very well be the best show on American television today.
- I'm a sucker for fart jokes, pratfalls, and people getting bonked in the crotch by flying objects. With that being said, I'd like to rescind my last statement and claim America's Funniest Home Videos as the WORLD'S funniest television show!
- It's pop, not soda.
Ok, I'm done.
