2005.05.06 Cinco de Mayo Idiots

On Cinco de Mayo I sat at a table at work where we had a Cinco de Mayo Trivia form. People put their completed forms, with their name and extension, into a drawing for $25. The answers were right in front of them, and if not, I'd tell them the answers. One of the questions on the form was "Where did The Battle of Puebla take place?" There are some really stupid people out there.

2005.05.03 Flushing Twice

I'm going to be talking about the toilet, and possibly the potential contents of that device. If you're less than interested in reading about this, so be it, feel free to leave now. But don't get half-way through this thing and then start blaming me that I didn't warn you. I mean, you had to know that it was coming, since how many other things have to do with Flushing?

2005.05.03 Fanny Packs

I carry a wallet, set of keys, cell phone, and usually a thing of Chap Stick®. If I'm at work I carry my PDA with me. If I'm going to a meeting at work where I have to act like I'm taking notes about a work-related topic, then I take a notebook thing and pen too. I think that it's fair to say that I carry a normal amount of stuff. I rarely feel the need to have more with me than I do. Every now and then I wish I had something, but I don't see anything in my life that would merit a permanent position with me like the previously mentioned items.

2005.05.02 Specific

Let me be pacific. I'm going to get out a grass skirt, coconut top, and let me ge lei-ed. Every time somebody says "pacific" when they most likely intend to say "specific" I automatically visualize that person in that attire. They're sitting back, sipping drinks, watching the ocean, and getting ready for the luau in the evening.

2005.05.02 Couldn't Care Less

Let's clarify something that too many people just don't seem to understand.

In general, if you care about something (whether you choose to say it or not), it has a place of importance with you. If it was demoted in some fashion, then you might care less about it. If it was promoted, you might care more about it. Following this thinking, there is a scale of care on which something might be measured, and a certain amount of care that might be allocated to anything.
