This Is What I Want ...

... if I come to visit and you have a dog.

Smiley

Why is it if an animal shows it's teeth to us we take warning and back away, but when a human smiles and shows it's choppers we take comfort and feel at ease?

Perhaps we've got it all backwards.

Phlippin' Phillies Phun

There are few things on earth that are both as funny and annoying as drunk orators, songsters and negotiators!

Gloating Phillies Phans crack me up. Interviews after the game with the fans in the background making their important shouts, chants and songs of superiority never get old. I think being voted the city with the ugliest people contributes to the fun as we verify the accolades regularly! Win or lose it is a win-win! Keep those brilliant post game shows and local color coming!

Good times.

Fly Like An Eagle

Boo Foo Doo

When did gorillas start having such excellent doos? Big time jealous here!

Trials

If a dog rescues you in a time of turmoil, what has to transpire in order for you to give him away? I don't know why I get so conflicted by the decisions made by others, and I don't know how to continue tolerating the selfish and the stupid.

I wonder if there is a "punch in the belly" rental facility where you could pay to sock someone in the gut. HARD.

Fill 'Er Up

Went to Arby's for a roast beef, curly fries and drink.

Let's start off with my initial irritation to their pricing. 2 roast beef sandwiches cost $5 and some change. 5 roast beef sandwiches cost $6 and some change. I buy 5 roast beef sandwiches and feed the rats, possums, parking lot, ants and myself. Don't like the corporate pricing games, so I'll do what I can to stick it to "the man." Load me up, Buttercup.

The fries. French, curly, wedge, or mashed cake. Curly please. Nice to have options with a broad range to choose from. Well played RB.

Now for the real rub. Medium drink. That will never do, but try to explain that you want a larger soda without another 4 pounds of potatoes. I don't have the patience. Of course Mr. Comedy (me) says, "Fill 'er up, big guy!"

This time around they fill my cup so full that when they put the lid on, it creates some super vacuum seal that defies any man's normal sense. I place this liquid time bomb in my vehicle's cup holder next to the cut out in the console where I place my cell phone for the ride. I look at the lid, stab it with my straw, look at the road again, then look back down at the cup which has now turned into a fountain, spewing the contents of the cup with fireplug force 2 feet into the air, pooling directly onto my phone, filling the console with the bubbly, corrosive Pepsi that was intended for my guts. Half of the cup's volume went solely onto my phone. The other half remained in the explosive device. Nothing else was splashed. Not a drop was wasted where it could do no harm.

I'm off to the Verizon store today.

Oui!

For all of you Wii owners and users (I do not yet belong), I thought you might appreciate some of these images found on Switched in their gallery, "Wiimote Disasters (Wiinjuries?)."
