Taco Bell Girl.
I will tumble this, though. I’ve seen Taco Bell girl the last few days, but she’s giving me the cold shoulder. I don’t like it, and I can’t explain it. I’ve made the turn and then there she is on the porch. She’s not singing, but she’s laughing—fake laughing, like Santa Clause. I wave and she acts like she doesn’t see me. It’s ruined my...
Run it back?
Alltel implemented its inclement weather policy, which is basically, try to make it in by 10am. I made it at noon, and found the office pretty much vacant. I promptly returned home and answered work e-mails from there. I need tomorrow to be similar.

Krogering.
I just saw Mike Huckabee in the canned goods aisle at Kroger. I don’t know how to feel about it, but the occurance needed to be acknowledged.
WatchFrom TBT: The drummer in this band just doesn’t seem to fit in. I can’t quite put my finger on it. Maybe it’s how he’s excitedly slamming away and rocking out like a coke-addict, while the rest of the band looks bored? Yup, that’s it. He’s too awesome for them.
This one got me. I had to pause the video three times just because I thought I was laughing to loudly...
WatchI was wondering what I was going to do with my afternoon at work today, and then I realized I hadn’t checked TodaysBigThing.com since January 8. There were some good ones. I narrowed it down to two. This is one of them, obviously. In regards to this video, I need to say three things.
1. This is a brilliant video/idea/whatever.
2. “Glycerine” may be one of the best songs ever.

Trash Night.
It surprises me every single week. When I’m really tired and I’m about to go crawl into bed, that’s when it always hits me. I hate that feeling.

“You know, if you’re the president you only have two jobs: peace and money....”
– Chris Rock
CareerBuilder.com
CareerBuilder.com posts stories on CNN.com alongside other top headlines all the time. I’m a sucker for clicking on them, thinking they’re legitimate stories, just fluff. Nope. Always CareerBuilder. Today’s was “20 big-salary jobs, no degree required.” It would be fine if there were actual useful information here, but I know it’s made-up shit. Exhibit A: #5 of...

Plead Alzheimer's. →
A man, 72, died when he got in a fight with another man, 83, at his retirement home in Florida. Both men were in the Alzheimer’s unit at the facility. Details will be sketchy, at best. The Alzheimer defense strategy may be even better than the insanity plea.
Happy MLK...and REL day.
I had no idea today was Robert E. Lee Day as well as MLK Day. Fascinating.

No Cussing Club.
So, this kid started nocussing.com to combat people’s use of profanity. He’s probably in the same group as this kid. I beg you to watch the original videos/songs.

The Bicycle Commuter Act.
The Bicycle Commuter Act—awesome. That’s how you make laws, people. Way to go, Oregon.
Paranoia.
Last night Ashley went out after work. She finally came home and crawled into bed around 3am.
A: I practically had to run from the car to the house.
g: Why?
A: There was some guy…nevermind, I shouldn’t stereotype him.
g: What was is?
A: Some black guy was walking down our street with a big garbage bag over his shoulder.
g: There’s a difference between stereotyping a guy and...

WatchSo, I’ve been reminded of this video the past couple of days. I was going to post it a long time ago, but never did. That’s kind of a separate post, though. What reminded me of this is a girl I’ve seen on my way to work the last two days. When I get to Argenta on my bike, I turn the corner onto Willow Street and there’s this large, young black woman that is standing on the...

Work e-mail.
Hey, Carm. That was a change that I requested and the way it is written is the correct way to handle a suspensive hyphenation, according to the Associated Press, which is the default style we use at Alltel. Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks. Guy D. Choate Proofreader/Copywriter Creative Services Alltel Communications, LLC.
It’s amazing the thrill I get from telling...

Ernesto Berarelli.
My friend Les got a returned Christmas card from Ernesto Bertarelli, the guy from Geneva, that bought seven of his paintings from his very first public show at Trio’s back in ‘96. He’s been sending him a card every year, and this was the first one that got kicked back. Anyway, he was checking to see what his address changed to and realized it’s this guy. He’s...

“It’s unusual for a masked robber to wait in line at a bank.”
– Rick Myers, Stow, Ohio Police Captain, in regards to this dude. I would laugh myself into a coma if I saw a dude waiting in line at a bank and wearing a ski mask.

Marley & Me Thief.
Something seems strange about this. The dude steals the puppy, they catch him, so he just pays for it and gets to keep the puppy? And if you’re the chick, aren’t you pissed the dude wouldn’t fork up the cash for a Christmas present? Also, this has been an ongoing story ever since the dog was stolen and it’s been called the Marley & Me dog every time. Yes, it’s a...
