Thoughts to ponder

Friday, November 20th, 2009

I received this email today and thought it to be quite clever.

1. I think part of a best friend’s job should be to immediately clear your computer’s history if you die.

2. Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you’re wrong.

3. I totally take back all those times I didn’t want to nap when I was younger.

4. There is great need for a sarcasm font.

5. How the hell are you supposed to fold a fitted sheet?

6. Was learning cursive really necessary?

7. Map Quest needs to start their directions on #5. I’m pretty sure I know how to get out of my neighborhood.

8. Obituaries would be a lot more interesting if they told you how the person died.

9. I can’t remember the last time I wasn’t at least kind of tired.

10. Bad decisions make good stories. Horrible decisions make even better ones!

11. You never know when it will strike, but there comes a moment at work when you know that you just aren’t going to do anything productive for the rest of the day.

12. Can we all just agree to ignore whatever comes after Blue Ray? I don’t want to have to restart my collection…again.

13. I’m always slightly terrified when I exit out of Word and it asks me if I want to save any changes to the ten-page paper that I swear I did not make any changes to.

14. “Do not machine wash or tumble dry” means I will never wash this — ever.

15. I hate it when I miss a call by the last ring (Hello? Hello? !@#% it!), but when I immediately call back, it rings nine times and goes to voicemail. What’d you do after I didn’t answer? Drop the phone and run away?

16. I hate leaving my house confident and looking good and then not seeing anyone of importance the entire day. What a waste.

17. I keep some people’s phone numbers in my phone just so I know not to answer when they call.

18. My 4-year old son asked me in the car the other day “Dad what would happen if you ran over a ninja?” How the hell do I respond to that?

19. I think the freezer deserves a light as well.

20. I disagree with Kay Jewelers. I would bet on any given Friday or Saturday night more kisses begin with a Budweiser than Kay.

Everyone remembers the classic “Wassup!!!” Budweiser commercials from back in the day. Well, the boys are back for a timely reunion:

Cheap product haiku

Friday, March 2nd, 2007

Noted this on a dollar store toy I recently bought my daughter, thought it made a pretty good lost in translation haiku:

Bad CopyThis is high product,
It can with you wonderful,
Good!

Justice is… dumb

Thursday, December 21st, 2006

Statue of Lady JusticeI always thought that the most asinine legal battles were fought in patent court. I was wrong. I came across this gem while browsing the pages of MSNBC’s site: “A wound may be key to attempted murder case“. It’s about a guy who admitted involvement in a robbery, who has a bullet lodged in his forehead–”allegedly” as a result of being shot by his victim when trying to kill him–but is fighting to have it removed on the grounds that his civil liberties would be violated. A judge has already granted a search warrant so that the bullet can be taken out (and presumably tested to prove that he was in fact the one trying to kill the robbery victim). But he’s fighting it. Everyone involved–namely the doctors–agrees that the procedure isn’t life threatening.

I’m all for the presumption of innocence until proven guilty. But I draw the line at preventing the collection of evidence. Especially if the evidence you’re obstructing could potentially exonorate you–unless of course you’re hiding something. I can’t believe this sort of chicanery is tolerated in the American legal system.

(Lack of) communication

Is there a better illustration of how projects work than this?
