Was looking at the current list of what is allowed on planes. I can take a razor, but it looks like I can’t carry on my cattle prod! Seriously, I can’t believe that they had to put this on the list!

Tried the new Citrus flavor Crest. Quite good, once you get over the fact that you are putting ORANGE on your toothbrush

A high school teacher was suspended for a classroom experiment that caused several students to vomit after drinking large amounts of milk. Read the full story at CNN. In a way, I can see both sides…kind of abusive, but it was a practical experiment and it’d be cool to have him as a teacher.

My favorite comic strip artist, Berkeley Breathed, is bringing back Opus in a Sunday-only comic strip starting this Sunday (click here for the artist’s web site) Bloom County was very politically incorrect and reminds me a lot of the kind of stuff that Boondocks is doing now. Glad to see it’s coming back, even if it is 1 day a week.

I’d like to thank the @$$hole who decided to that the best place to put their gum when they finsihed with it was ON the seat where I decided to sit on the “L”. Don’t usually look too close as to where I sit, but I will now! :

This guy is weird…..first he pushes around a nut with his nose and now he wants to sit in a bath of baked beans with chips up his nose. Some of this conceptual art I just don’t get. (Of course I do like flash mobs)

Have you seen the new commercials with the new Gingerbread associate, Gingy?

Problem 1: the voice sounds suspiciously like Mr. Bill from Saturday Night Live.

Problem 2: with all of the problems wal-mart has with hiring undocumented workers, I wonder how one finds a “documented” gingerbread man. I would think the INS would have strict limits on documentation of candy people.

Have some left over congee in my fridge….really good as the weather gets colder.

And what’s up with Roy Moore?
“It’s very wrong for a public official to be excluded from his office because of his religious beliefs and the acknowledgment of God,” Moore told CNN. No, no,no…you were fired from office because you did not follow an order from a FEDERAL JUDGE. And since you are an elected official, and someone who is supposed to uphold the law, you have an obligation to do so. You can protest all you want, but being an elected official sworn to uphold the laws, you need to do it. Now quit whining and go to church

Did you know that “fecal matter and bacteria sprayed from a toilet flush can land on your toothbrush”? Ewwww. Check out this article. Lots of germs around. You should disinfect your toothbrush often, mouthwash has lots of disinfectants in it.

And the word queer is going mainstream. Interesting article.

Always interesting news in “News of the Weird”. Just surfing around…enjoy the links!

At what point does one cross the barrier between thinking about others and not caring? I’ve run into so many people who are so self-absorbed lately. They rush onto trains and not let anyone off or act like what they are doing is more important than anyone else. I hope I don’t get like that.

Too damn cloudy here to see the lunar exlipse…but it appears others enjoyed it…gotta wait a YEAR now :

My car is back! Got car back from Casten Body Shop. They do terrific work and I got a bottle with touchup paint which matches my car. Cool! Contacted State Farm and they are sending me a check for $130 for time car was in shop. Nice touch for a renters policy. (I opted for $10/day vs paying for a rental since I barely drive anyway)
