Donnerstag (Thursday).

  • Got up after an unexplainably fitful sleep.
  • Went to work.
  • Bought groceries.
  • Came home.

Yup, you got it… it was a rather uneventful day. Well, there was one ‘event:’ It snowed for a little while this evening.

Quotes of the Day:I’m not a huge fan of Seinfeld; it was a good show, but I never got caught up in the hoopla behind it. *shrug* I was listening to it at work tonight (radio with TV tuner) and had to laugh at a couple of things. Part of tonight’s episode was about a mysterious man that Elaine was dating. No one knew what he did for a living, so they started tossing out a couple ideas, one of which was:

    Jerry: You could be dating Green Lantern!
    Elaine: Which one is he?
    Jerry: Green suit… power ring…
    Elaine: I don’t like jewelry on men.

In the second act, they finally discover what the guy’s secret was. Well, one of them anyway. He was poor. This, of course, led to another line of ribbing:

    Jerry: He’s the Got-no-green Lantern.
    George: Maybe his girlfriend is Lois Loan.

What can I say…? It doesn’t take much to appeal to the comic book geek in me. And, before I forget: They also found out two other secrets, in the third act: The man wasn’t poor and he was married.

In other news… (or “What else can I post to shock …?”)
I left something out of Sunday night’s post-Olympics post. I did it for two reasons:

  1. Given the post that I made, this wouldn’t have “fit in.” Sure, I could have still posted it, but I chose not to. Go figure.
  2. I wanted to have the pictures that went along with it.

So, without further delay, here it is: Land, friend and coworker who has been previously mentioned here, is a member of the LDS Church, but he is atypical of a lot of its members and isn’t always so mainstream. Case in point: He recently bought a new truck and has decided to let everyone, at least any-/everyone behind him, know that his truck is a boy truck: He has fitted it with these (1, 2, 3).
Yup. You got it: Testicles. So far, the reaction has been mixed, but they definitely get reactions. Just a little something to shake up the quite norm around here. And I can’t let him take all of the blame (or credit, depending on your p.o.v.) for this: Even though he came up with the idea, I gave him the ideas on what to use. After all, What good are friends if they can’t be helpful and/or supportive?

And that’s all the news from Lake Saline, where the Olympic flame is out, the streets have no name, and the vehicles have hit puberty. Goodnight, everybody. Thanks for tuning in.

Peace.
