It's already December 18th...

and I still haven't seen any folks dressed up like Eskimos...

A Jag...

in the Wal*Mart parking lot. I would also like to take this opportunity to say that I had this blog idea before I had ever heard of Twitter.

Never before...

have I seen a schoolbus driving backwards thru a red light on a brick street. But I did the other day.

When I hear...

the word "culture," I reach for my "Rubber Soul."

It's...

the last night of Summer: the rats will eat well tonight...

Who moves...

without bringing a screwdriver, then bangs on the door at 10:00 p.m. when you're sick from a molar extraction and antibiotics to borrow one? My new Chinese neighbors, that's who...

This man must be stopped!

He pulled my teeth, so now I can't blow the bubbles while I chew the gum while I drive the taxi! Now my mouth is packed with gauze...

Close, but no cigar...

Spotted at the Feast of the Assumption: motorcycle with a BGMTR license plate.

What's this world coming to?

I did a search on Mark Eitzel videos and got an ad inviting me to have "complimentary Lydia Lunch ringtones" sent to my cell. Huh?

Fun with Misplaced Modifiers

I was driving down Mayfield Road the other day, listening to NPR, when I nearly broke out in hysterics (a rare occurrence since "Fresh Air" hasn't featured Albert Brooks much lately), when the announcer announced that (wait a minute, I'm going to have to go somewhere to copy and paste this...) Radovan Karadžić had been arrested.
That, in itself, is not especially funny, but she went on to say that he had altered his appearance and had been practicing alternative medicine, and had even written articles for "Healthy Living Under an Assumed Name." Well, that's what I heard.
That magazine probably doesn't have many subscribers, for obvious reasons. OR, maybe
what she said was he had written articles for "Healthy Living," under an assumed name. Tune in next week, when I will ruin even more jokes!

Olympics Preview

As many of you are no doubt aware, for the last several Olympics, new, non-traditional events have been added, including various "extreme" skateboarding events. I have learned from my sources that the Olympics in Beijing will feature the Chinese Firedrill...

I've been getting a lot of stick lately...

about the shoelaces on my Ponys coming undone, but, hey, I'm like the Minutemen:
I like them loose...

Sign at The Home Depot

"This is not...NOT an entrance."

So, is it an entrance?

Mis-heard on TV

It's Cirque Dreams Jungle Fantasy, not Siltbreeze Jungle Fantasy...

Weird Dream

Pavement was going to do a reunion tour, but their bassist didn't want to do it,
so they had a TV show to look for a replacement, like INXS, and Gary Young was
the emcee, and Spiral Stairs, Steve Malkmus, and Bob Nastanovich sat at the
judging table. The show was called "American Ibold."

It's not Summer yet...

but it's after Memorial Day, so feel free to wear white.

Why is this funny?

Blasting from the driveway...

of the anti-abortion house on my block yesterday was "You Can't Hurry Love" by The Supremes. It should have been "Lovechild."

A horse...

without a rider is still a horse, but a rider without a horse is just someone who dresses funny.

Imagine another planet's...

equivalent of the banana split. This thought disturbs me for some reason.

A conversation at The Ritz, 10/22/1989...

AK: "Bad taste is timeless."
JP: "And rampant."

The stupid...

we do immediately; the idiotic takes longer.

Last Friday night...

on the # 9 bus, I saw someone who was either a transvestite, or a very unfortunate woman, who looked like Tracy Morgan in drag.

Sunday, May 4, 2008

Saw a license plate...

NEO NUBN, which I'm guessing is a Northeast Ohio Nubian, or someone with a new nubbin.

Gone like...

the Golden Spot, gone like the Golden House.

Guy I saw...

on the bus yesterday had the face of a former prizefighter, and the brain of a prizefight loser...

I found...

a little no-name acoustic guitar on the street today.

Walking across the parking lot...

on the way in to work this morning, I saw a man and a woman, each talking on their cellphones and pacing in front of the store that I work at. A stunning example of the cellpacing phenomenon.

Yesterday on the bus...

I went to sit in the back, and scattered back there were two people in Burger King gear, and one in an Arby's uniform. I felt as though I had penetrated a special fast food enclave.

I thought that...

no one was going to be reading this. But I found out that they are. Now I have to rethink things.

my stereo cabinet turned upside down is an exact replica of the Ford Theatre!

For twenty dollars...

"A bag inside a box inside a box inside a bag. That's my dream."

Did you ever...

hear a two-liter soda bottle just make a popping sound in the middle of the night?

I miss...

the structural integrity of paper bags...
