QotD: Circus Act

nobody@vox.com(Tim) — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 21:55:01 -0500

If you joined the circus, what act would you most want to perform?

I am most suited to the role of clown. I've even been told at one time in my life that I don't take anything seriously. That, of course, was a serious mistake that lead to a comedy of errors.

Sometimes advertising strikes me strange or funny or just plain weird.

oscillation

powerbooster

vibrating

amplifying

primer

These are all words that might be associated with various pursuits that at one time could have been descriptive of men, their hobbies, jobs, etc.

Times have changed.

Use this near eyes?

I did discover that the wonderful folks who sell cosmetics don't see the humor in my observations.

We all know that Japan is probably famous for their own zealous warriors in the past. They wield long Katana and has extremely elaborated armour and stuffs like that. If you ask what do people normally think of when others says Japan, chances are that people would think about Samurais first.

BUY MORE CARDS!

Welcome to yet another worthless holiday created to boost the sales of greeting cards. Sometimes I feel just as stupid as the card companies think I am when I buy a questionable card. Pet neutering cards anyone?

My wife discovered a book called "Cook Yourself Thin" and this is a great breakfast sandwich that is full of flavor but not full of calories.

Hold the edge of the bowl close to the simmering water and gently tilt the bowl to pour the egg into the water. Repeat with the remaining three eggs.

There is a song in the musical, Oklahoma, that mentions corn that's as high as an elephant's eye. This year I have okra plants that fit the description.
