Thursday Random Thoughts 1/31

Stuff I have been thinking about in the past week:

-I wonder if JK Rowling listens to The Who. Maybe she named the key member of the Quidditch team "The Seeker" after their song of the same name?

-I heard on the radio that Jan 30th was international "delete your Myspace page day". Does myspace even still exist?

-Can you believe that 2 seperate people have clicked on this blog after doing a Google search for the name Dan Pangburn? Faithful readers will remember that person as the one who fired the initial shot in the Global Warming war. There has also been 1 person who clicked on us after searching for the correct way to use the word adroitness in a sentence. No kidding.

-Why is "under par" a good thing but "sub-par" not a good thing?

-I want to say a thank you to the nice manager at BJ's Wholesale club who gave us $100 off on our new TV.

-Ben Franklin plumbing in Charlotte NC uses Tommy Tutone's 867-5309 Jenny in it's radio commercials with a really bad parody singer butchering the lyrics. (ie. Benny Benny won't you do some plumbing for me?)Something tells me that the real Benjamin Franklin would not be happy that his name is being used in this manner.

-Some one told me in the past week that they were taking a "Pre-emptive sick day" They weren't sick but were taking the day off from work so they wouldn't get sick. What the heck ????

-For some reason I was surprised when I found out that Gretta Van Susteren is a Scientologist.

-Big endorsement to Liberty Tax Service. This company was founded by the same guy who originally founded Jackson Hewitt) They really did a good thorough job on our taxes last weekend and didn't cost an arm and a leg. You may recognize them. They always have people out on the street dressed in statue of liberty costumes waving at cars.

-I still think that Boo-Berry is a cool name for a cereal. Even though I would never touch the stuff.

-If you haven't seen the Jerry O'Connell video poking fun at Tom Cruise you need to. My brother in law showed me last weekend and it is hilarious. "It's all about KFC" HA!

-Our black lab Morgan is the biggest mooch in the entire world. This dog eats his food, tries to eat the cat food and our sons food. He tries to eat our food, and tries to lick the dirty plates in the dishwasher, our son's spit up, and if we let him he would eat the cat turds out of the litter box. GOOD GRIEF!! I tell my wife that he is nothing but an 80 pound cockroach with fur.

-I was talking with someone last week who actually thought it was the "raise card" not the "race card" that they talk about being played. I didn't bother trying to explain to this person that they were wrong and that a raise card probably has something to do with poker because it would have been a waste of breath. But I did think to myself, Heck if was the "raise card" I think that I may have to play that one at work...

-I saw and article the other day entitled "Debunking that biggest video game myths" and thought to myself. Who cares?

-Senator Ted Kennedy recently came out and endorsed Barak Obama's run for the Presidency. What wasn't as widely reported was that he actually came out in favor of a full minority ticket and has endorsed Jose Cuervo for Vice President. Think about it....
