Quick Hitters
Yes, folks. It’s Friday again, blessedly. So sit back, relax and let us waste the time for you. By the time you’re done reading our collection of poignancy, it’ll be almost time to go home. Or at least two minutes later than the last time you looked. (that’s a lot of ‘times’)
How has Chap-Stick managed to pull the shade on everyone for so long? It doesn’t work, ladies and gents. That’s why you have to constantly apply it. Burt’s Bees Wax users, you know what I’m talking about.
Is there a reason refirgerators don’t come with ice/water dispensers built into the door standard now? I mean, we’ve worked our way up to tvs and radios in the door – ice and water seems a little boring now. No more plain door/freezer combos.
I saw a guy slip on a banana peel yesterday and finally understood why they are so commonly used to foil people’s plans for walking and driving. Ok, I lied. No one has ever slipped on a banana peel. Ever.
Only like 80 more games to go in the baseball season. God help us.
Bic’s are cheap, and that I get. But is anyone buying these 30-packs anymore? Honestly, I haven’s seen someone writing with a Bic that they didn’t find laying around in years.
“Run Around” by Blues Traveler is still great.
I can’t visibly tell the difference between the $15 car wash and the $5 one, but I’ll always get the $15.
Four days in a row now it’s been predicted that we’ll get scattered thunderstorms in the afternoon. Not once has it happened.
Dwayne Wade, you’re leaving Converse for Nike. To be frank, it’s absolutely incredible that you lasted as long as you did with those weights strapped on to your feet. Enjoy being in incredible commercials.
Any other news and notes I’ve left out? Random thoughts, one-liners, call-outs to famous people. Your turn, dear Readers.
Your refrigerator comment got me thinking about how ludacrious it is that you can still buy a new car that doesn’t have power windows and locks. Seriously. I had a friend in high school who had the opportunity to pick any car she wanted (I’m sure within a certain price range), and she picked a Sunfire with no power windows or locks…this was 2002. I would have downgraded (if you could call it that) to a Neon or even a Cavalier (shutter) just to not be cranking down the windows in front of my friends.
Tiger missed the cut at Turnberry, initiate ESPN analysis/around the horn debate/rick reilly blog entitled “Why Tiger has won his last major” in 5…4…3…2…
yes yes and yes. BBW >> Chap-Stick. That’s math-speak for: if BBW and chap-stick were human, BBW would have totally slept with chap-stick’s wife, filmed it, taken over chap-stick’s position as president/CEO of lip balm inc., then showed the tape to chap-stick in humilating fashion at the christmas party. or something like that.
I have Burt’s Bees and a BIC sitting on my desk right next to me. One I bought. One I found laying around. Guess which is which… Ha.
